The bonded debt of Missouri now
amounts to 11,sOs, 900, and natures
as follows:-18s5, So, 5000; 1886, $780,
600; 1887, 90, 100000; 1888, $2,os7, 900;

900; 1896, $685. 900: 1897, $4,000.
Total 81, 8O3, 600. On the first day OF
January, 1885, there will be a surplus
of over o., 900, 900 in the State Treas
ury, which a be applied to a further
reduction of the bonded debt as soon
as the General Assembly shall have
made the necessary appropria-
ton. So that, practically, the bonds
to fall due in 1885 and 1886 arc already
provided for, and only those which fall
due in '87, 1913 and 's9 will, probably,
have to be refunded. After that,
though there are large sums due in '94,
'95 and '96 the chances are, If the
democratic party is kept in power and
pursues its uniformly economical and
careful course, that there will be mon
ey on hand to pay the bonds as they
fall due. The refunding operations
that may be necessary will prove Mis-
souri's credit to be as good as that of the
general government, as she has already,
under Gov. Observation-Disclosures,
negotiated a short loan at 8 per cent.

travagance and democratic economy

They not only declare to the people of
the state, but to the world at large,
that all the people were in sympathy
with outlaws and their ways, and that
the state was not a tit habitation for
law abiding citizens. Mr.. Graves
then produced statistics to prove that
the state had been much more success
full under democratic rule than under
that of the republicans. He said that
this question OF politics was considered
by the people as etfecting thor pockets,
and pointed out in a clear manner
that the administration of the affairs
of the state had been more economical

licans. He next turned his attention

to the satisfaction of all present that

In the seventh district of Missouri,
Thursday, Col. John E. Hutton, editor
of the Mexico Intelligencer, was nomi'
mated for congress over several very
able and popular gentlemen. A better
nomination could not have been made.
Col. Hutton is one of the purest and
ablcst journalists in Missouri; q man
whose life for years has been devoted
to the advancement of morality and
good government. Educated in the
law, as thoroughly versed in contem-
poraneous politics as a constant and
careful writer can be, a Christian gen.
tlcman, suave and polite in manners,
an eloquent and ready speaker, Col.
Hutton is a mar to lend dignity to any
position, and one eminently fitted to
make his mark in congress. We on
graduate the seventh district upon its
choice, and venture to predict that the
wisdom thereof will be fully indicated
by the results.

Certain influential western demo-
Gratis have called at the democratic
headquarters in New York to protest
against the present democratic policy
of stalking so much upon the October
election in Ohio. These western DEM
ocrats say that the republicans have set
a trap for the democrats in that state
and they regret that the managers
there do not see it. One democratic
politician, a man of standing and intlu-
ence, said: "You are making a great
mistake in claiming Ohio. 1t is also
another mistake to make a great strug-
gle for the state. You are raising DEM
ocratic anticipations so far as Ohio is
concerned which cannot be realized.
Ohio is almost certain to be republican
in October and by the extraordinary
claims that are being made by the DEM
ocratic managers here you are paving
the way to a serious setback" This
is common sense. Where is the wis
dom in footing horns i'll empty
boasts 4? Ohio is naturally a republic
IAN state. Its October position is a
temptation to those frauds and briber-
les which have become characteristic
of republican management in the
autumn states. The overlooking treas
ury is the grandest campaign fund that
any political party eve handled. The
banks and brokers who have the inside
on this immense sun of money can east
ly produce millions out of it without
touching the principal, and they arc a
gentry who work their mill unscrupul-
ously in order to keep it i'll existence.
O, how Grover Cleveland would rip
up the secrets of that rotten crowd!
How he would expose them and run
them to their holes, as Samuel j. Til
den did the Tweedites and canal ring
sters. That is why they hate him.
That is why they find corrupt demo-
Gratis who hate him, too, and who are
willing to sell their party principles
for chances at the "surplus. One of
their traps is to persuade democrats to
brag on Ohio, where they are playing
Dorsey's game of soap. 1t won't do;
democrats are not quite SO green as all
that comes to. They do not expect to
carry Ohio, but they do expect to make
the enemy fight for it, and that the re-
publicans are doing to-day, recklessly,
desperately. The republicans cannot
win without Ohio; the democrats can
and easily, too.

Maine Creameries.

There are al the present writing five
equipped creameries, or butter factories
in the State of Maine, located at Wales.
Winthrop, New Gloucester, Turner and
Machias. At Gorham, Topsham, Bow
doinham, St. Adams and many other
places in the State preliminary steps have
been taken to establish creameries. 1t
is quite probable dozen may be in Oper-
alton the ensuing season. We believe in
their utility, desirability and perman-
encv, if judciously established and sup
ported. We should be very sorry to see
the same road travelled by them as was
the experience of the cheese factories
We do not believe there is any need of it.
We do not believe the cheese factory
business would have met with anything
but success if it had been soberly and
carefully handled. Too much capital III
vested in building and sometimes in ap-
paratus. too high wages to cheese makers.
and too small supply of milk wrecks
three-iourth of them. Remember that it
is Just as hard to make butter from imag
mary milk as it is to make cheese from
the same. DO not get any visionary
schemes of large returns from small re-
sources. The same principles govern
associated butter and cheese making as
govern private making. 1t costs on an
average perhaps six cents pound to make
and market by the creamery method the
product of 100 cows. If 200 cows cream
is had, the price may be reduced to 4 l :
cents per pound. If 800 cows the price
per pound might 60 below cents. and
if 400 to 800 cows the price might 60 to
2 l2 to cents per pound. This is a fact
that ought to be kept in view.
The factory should be backed up and
worked for all it is worth, to full capacity
A uniform method of setting is necessary.
A skilful and we'll informed, intelligent
butter-maker or superintendent is neces
sary. Cream can be practically gathered
from to 10 miles. The factory should
be located judiciously at some central,
convenient point. Every available cows
cream should be massed at the factory to
cheaper manufacture and insure success.
Those who enter upon associating daring
with determination to work for the sue
cess of the enterprise, willing to do their
lot and part. will succeed. Do not be dis
Outraged at a few reverses or bit OF bad
luck. learn how to overcome obstacles BY
patience. perseverance, and good mango
ment. Encourage others. Be careful of
the reputation of your factory. Avoid
chickering's, quarrels and jealousy. Move
right along.

The Sea Serpent or Something Else.

The officers and crew of the schooner
Edward Waite, of Portland. Me-, which
arrived at this port on Saturday, are posi-
tive that they fell in with genuine sea
serpent ON the voyage from Cardenas to
this city with cargo of sugar. The
bronze-faced mate, William Page. who
has been sailor for 30 years, told the
story of the remarkable adventure in a
straightforward manner. ''Our VOYAGE"
said he. "from Cardenas to Cape Hatteras
was uneventful. We passed that point
on the morning of the 14th. and were
more than half way to Cape Henry when
we sighted a strange disturbances in the
ocean. 1t was my watch, and there were
several men on deck at the time. We
thought at first that it was whale. but as
it did not blow we concluded that it was
a large shark. although some of the men
who were watching it said that it was too
ever it was, came nearer and nearer, az
if charging tor the vessel. and we
began to get little excited We
noticed also, as it came within reasona-
BILE distance, that the things head was
raised out OF the water. 1t came nearer
and nearer, leaving long, wide wake be-
hind it, and stirring up the water into
foam. like the paddles Of river steamer.
1t passed the schooner within less than
$50 yards. and we had full view. We
were so much interested that forgot to
call the Captain. who was below asleep,
but all the watch saw the thing as plainly
as can see the schooner there in the next
dock. 1t WAS sea serpent and no mis-
take. We could only measure its size bv
the line made in the water, but should
say it was fully 80 feet long, with head
as large and something like the shape of .
horses head. The most remarkable
thing about it was the color and size of
its eyes. They were of q bright saffron
hue. and half as big as mans hand. 1t
held its head above water all the time we
saw it, which was about half an hour,
when it passed out of sight in southerly
direction. We were at the time in lati-
tude IS degrees 40 minutes. and it was q
clear day. We could not have been mis-
taken. From PHILADELPHIA Record. Feb
