Now that tho victory has been won and
the Republican party has receiveda re
buke rs great as II was just We would cal
the attention OF all democrats to few
things that We should not forget,
The defeat Of tho republican party was
due mainly to the fact that they selected
for their leader corrupt man, man not
"above suspicion" This lost to them the
support of their best men Had the party
in power been judicious In the choice Of il
STANDARD bearer" they would doubtless
have carried the election by their aecustom-
cd majority.
The independent republican party held
the balance of power in the State Of New
York, and as Grover Cleveland was It's pref
erence, the democrats gained the aseenden-
cy. Now il should be remembered that this
independent movement may not be a per-
manant bolt from the republicans. 1t was
intended as rebuke to the managers" at
the Chicago convention, and IL the demo-
Gratis wish to retain the sanction Of these
highly respected men, they must prove them
selves worthy of their preference.
It must be borne in mind that our allies,
the independents, are as rule, the eIem-
plary men of the republican party, men
who will expect from the party they sup
port, radical changes for the better on the
methods used by the party they aided in
defeating.
We sincerely hope that the democrats
will, during the coming administration, act
with decorum, and remember that the
greatest flagranoy of the republican party
has bean its oreed for office.

IN disnosftiOn: good head and neck and the best pair of shoulders that
ue hsyee We see on a horse of that kind; shoulders are set IN all
anolet than is usual for a horse of that breed, making him more active;
He has a strong, short back, ribs up as close as pony, hips broad ana

feet. Sired by a horse owned by Everhart, that was bred in scotland;
and dam a Black Whip mare, which adds much to his beauty, style aho
action, He is a No. breeder and 1 will refer those who ntereste 70
Iudoa Robert of Boone county, as he has had some of his colts. We
consider Black Diamond an extra horse, because he possesses more u
the essential qualities required lin a horse of that kind, and to a greater
epree than is often found, viz: Strength, size, FORM, style ana actlon,
which we impute ms great measure to the hot blood in his dam.

Grit and Enterprise Will VIM
From the Mexico Press.

FROM the MeAiSu EEess-
We have been in the habit of re-
garding our neighbors Of old Boone
as fogies and barnacles, and claiming
for ourselves more pluck and enter
prise than any county in central Mis-
souri,. But old Boone is ahead of us
this time. Two of her citizens, John
ston Bros, young men, natives Of the
county, possessing ''nerve and fore
cast" have become the owners of a
''simple invention" that will make
them rich in 4 few months, besides
making fortunes for hundreds of
others who may invest in it. We
have seen so much in the local papers,
and heard so much about it, that We
determined to look into it. Expect
ing to find some complicated contri-
vance, our surprise was beyond
measure when we discovered it to be
a wire lock" for a rail fence, so
simple in its construction and arpli-
cation, that 4 child can understand
and apply it. But its very simplicity
is one of its chief recommendations.
We believe the prime elements en-
teiing into tue success of all inven-
lions are: First, their utility; see
ond, universally of application
third, economy.
We see it stated, on the authority
of those who have given the subject
thought and investigation, that no ill.,
vention possessing these characters
tics has ever failed of success. This
judgement seems TO be borne out by
the history of the steam engine, reap
err, sewing machine, telephone, and
others of like character. This inven-
ton certainly possesses the qualities
referred to in an eminent degree. 1t
is so simple, effective and cheap that
no farmer with q rail fence on his
farm can afford to be without it.
The right to use it, although granted
for the nominal price Of five cents
per acre, yields afabulous income
when you come to take into the ac-
count the untold millions of acres
enclosed, and to be inclosed, in this
country with rail fences; and the eff
e. Get of this invention will be to popu-
larize the use of rails. 1t seems TO
us that, while the Johnstons get their
money by selling state and county
rights, there ought to be big money
in it to those who retail out individual
rights. We are always glad to see
pluck and enterprise succeed, and
whilst we would like to have a share
in their good fortune over this way
we say God-speed them. Can't some
of our ingenious mechanics, or sharp
witted and shrewd financiers invent
something, or invest in something
to help US out of the dizziness ane
stagnation of this hard winter!
