Last week in referring to Morgan's
qualifications for State Superintendent
of schools we incidentally remarked
that he is both Master of Arts and
a Bachelor of Laws, whereupon the
Richie Gazette files as an objection
against him, thinking, no doubt, that
because Kendall never dreamed of
such things that therefore they are
altogether superfuous. 1t goes on
to say: $50 far as an "A. NJ is con
cerned, most any brainless puppy,
who can beg money enough from a
fond 'parient, to pay his expenses at
college, can get it,
Evidently the Gazette men as well
as their candidate met with exceed
ingly i'll luck in begging money of
their "fond parents" for that pur-
pose.
But to another matter. Mr.. Nor.
gan is accused by this well informed
and entirely unprejudiced contem-
porary of being eonstitntionally OPP
posed to the Normal schools and all
their interests. A greater mistake
could hardly be made. We call it a
mistake because we do not think our
esteemed exchange would knowingly
misrepresent this matter so egrege
| ously Morgan is a warm and hearty
friend of every educational institu-
ton in the State from the free school
to the University. We have fire.
quently heard him say that the Nor
NAL schools are great educational
motors educating the men and women
who educate the masses His cul-
ture, intelligence and experience arc
liberal enough, wide enough and
deep enough to appreciate all educa-
tional movements and institutions
whatsoever. The idea that because
he is college bred man he is there
fore wanting in kindly feeling fol

a dernier resort.

VIII Not Withdraw.

A squi5 that appeared in the New
DOMINION two weeks ago led our
people to think that the Hon. Jno. j.
Brown had announced his irrevoeable
determination to withdraw from the
canvass as a candidate for Prescott
ing Attorney of this county. While
Mr.. Brown, it is true, talked of de-
chning to run, The people are not
willing that he shall do so, and we
think he has about consented to
defer to their wishes and make the
canvass.
This will be welcome news to his
many personal and political friends.
He is a most excellent and popular
gentleman and all know that if
elected he will fill the office in most
acceptable manner.

RICH HILL, Mo-, Aug. 26.-We
send few items, which we hope
will be of interest to the readers of
your valuable paper. In our last
we tried to give you a birds eye
view of our town. We made a
mistake as to the age, it is four
years instead of three. Coal was
discovered at Rich Hill in 1880.
Then it was an unsettled prairie.
The first shanty was erected June
Ist, 1880. To day it contains over
six thousand people. The town
site is beautiful one, s!oping to-
ward the east and was laid out
with two large parks-one on the
east and one on the west. Two
large school buildings have been
erected, both are brick structures.
The one on the west side is the
largest and most elegant building.
1t was partly torn down by the
storm on the 4th Of July. There
are seven churches. A large smell
ter has been erected and is in oper
alton for the smelling Of zinc and
lead ores. 1t being cheaper to
transport the ore to the fuel thar
the fuel to the ore mines.
The city is well supplied with
mills, machine shops, hotels, ano
large stores we'll filled with goods.
There are two railroads running
through the town. There are clever
licensed saloons in the city out o
"a in the county.
The people are active, wide awake
and fully alive to the interest o
their phenomenal city. The cause
of this being such an active ener
getic place is owing to the exten
sive coal deposit in the city ano
the country for miles around-hov
far has not yet been developed
The vein is found at a depth o
from a to 70 feet and runs contin
uously from 4 to 7 feet. Many
miners are engaged in mining Thu
coal and from IS to 100 car load
are daily shipped to market. Thi
is the main spring Of the growth
of Rich Hill justly denominatet
the "Infant Wonder of the West.
We have had it showery will
some pretty heavy rains since TIT
10th. This with the lateness of til,
crop has kept people back in put
ting up their hay. Timothy ha!
been cut for month but there i.

Mr.. Cleveland's Letter.
New York Times. iRep.l

GOV. Cleveland S letter OF accep-
lance is short. but it contains all
that is necessary to enable his fell
low-citizens to judge fairly OF his
views and purposes. 1t justihes
the confidence which his party and
large part of the voters not of
his party have placed in his princi-
piles, his character and his good
sense. While accepting the plat
form of the Democratic Conven-
ton, he adds to it the expression
of his own convictions regarding
matters which are of immediate
concern, and as to which the voters
will be guided more by their judg-
ment of the candidate than by par
ty professions.
He declares, and justly, that ours
is not government by the people
"when class is tolerated which
arrogates to itself the management
of public affairs. seeking to control
the people instead of representing
them. This is view of the pro-
fessional politicians and place-seek-
ers that will find hearty approval
with people long since tired of
their impertinent domination. AS
means toward checking the influ-
ence Of this class and toward keep
ing the head of the Government
faithful to his public duties and I'M
distracted by personal interest, he
advocates an amendment to the
Constitution disqualifying the Pres
ident from reelection. Mr.. Cleve.
lands estimate of the evils due to
the desire for reelection is sound.
His remedy for them is simple and
direct. 1t is more radical than is
necessary, and it has its disadvan-
tage, but it is significant Of the
spirit of the man.
Mr.. Cleveland's propositions re-
garding the laboring class are can
did, straightforward and sensible.
They will be accepted by self-res-
pecting workingmen, and will be
found to be consistent with his
course in the office he now holds.
The principle that he lays down as
to immigration is practical, and
will be generally approved. He
recognizes the generous attitude OF
the country toward all who wish
the rights, with the responsibilities
of citizenship, but he would not en-
courage the immigration of those
who do not intend to become
Americans.
Mr.. Cleveland's views in regard
to the administration of the civil
service are already we'll known.
They have been sharply defined and
fully sustained in his administration
as Governor. They are stated in
his letter, tersely and comprehen-
sively, and they will strengthen the
confident zeal Of those who believe
that this is the one question in the
pending canvass more important
than all others. THE people, "
he says, "pay the wages of the
public employees, and they are en-
titled to the fair and honest work
which the money thus paid should
command. 1t is the duty Of those
intrusted with the management Of
their affairs to see that such public
service is forthcoming. The selec.
ton and retention of subordinates
in Government employment should
depend upon their ascertained fit
ness and the value of their work,
and they should neither be expect
ed nor allowed to do questionable
party service" This is the essence
Of the reform of the civil service.
