In Reference to Judge Fox.

Ed. Register-Someo of the papers of
Southeast Missouri have already COM
menced speaking of the Hon. James D.
Fox for the position of Supreme Judge,
to be filled at the next general election.
Now, while we urge nothing against
Judge Fox-for he is a gentleman OF
great ability-we think that those pa
pers who speak of him are hasty, ILL
advised, and hardly have the consent
of the gentleman for the use of his name
in that matter. We think that his as.
pirations run in another direction.
DEMOCRAT
Iron County register. [volume] (Ironton, Iron County, Mo.) 1867-1965, 1885-07-16
Twenty to One.

The changes in federal offices made
by President Cleveland's administra-
ton up to this time constitutes bout )
per cent. of the service. That is to say,
four moths after the overthrow of Re-
publicanism and the Inauguration of
Democracy there are to be seen twenty
Republicans in office to one Democrat.
The most pretentious advocate of civ
il-service reform cannot complain that
this is doing things in a hurry, nor can
the most intolerant Republican say
that the administration is illustrating
its affections for the party land people)
that elected it, at the expense of the
civil service.
And yet we behold the curious and
diverting phenomenon of handful OF
Independent Republicans who voted
for Mr.. Cleveland, not because they
liked him more, but because they liked
Mr.. Blaine less, subjecting the admin
istratiOn to pitiless criticism because
it has not left more Republicans in
office.
This handful of estimable persons as
sert that the administration owes some
thing to them. Let it be admitted
and grant to the claim ten times more
than it involves 1t is said further that
the administration owes much to the
popular desire for reform of the civil
service. Let this be admitted, too.
And, further-Iet every Republican
argument and plea in favor of keeping
the civil service non-partisan be allow
ed ten times its full force-still there
| remains this question:
Does the administration owe nothing
to the 1900, 900 Democrats who turned
out the opposite party to put it in
power? Is this majority of the people
to be left out of the account i'm weigh
ing the obligation of the new admins
tration?
We do not forget the critical service
rendered by the handful of Independ-
ent Republicans at the right time and
place in the last campaigns; but is there
no other or better way of recognizing
and rewarding it than by preferring
95, 900 Blaine Republicans as office
holders to $4,000 Cleveland Democrats?
1t is said it would be injurious to the
public service to change it completely
from Republican to Democratic. Let
this be granted, too-though the COM
plete change of the country from Re-
publican to DemOcra tic certainly does
not support it; still, lis not twenty to one
little more than Republicans have a
right to exact and little less than
Democrats have right to expect?
The administration is moving slowly
and deliberately to avoid shocks and
mistakes-and this is praseworthy. 1t
shows that President Cleveland is anx-
iously consulting the country's veal.
But it seems he does not move slowly
and deliberately enough to satisfy his
Independent Republican critics. They
do not want him to move at all in the
matter of official changes. They are
content with a Democratic administra-
ton, provided it maintains a Republic
can official pei sonnel.-Republican.

The atmosphere in, around and about
Cape Girardeau, heretofore not noted
for its salubrity, is purer now, and the
curtain of malaria that erstwhile dark
ened that city's fair fame has lifted
That it will remain in that position
rolled to its topmost notch-we are
thus assured by the latest issue of the
Argus:
We cannot afford to descend to the worse
than beastly depths occupied and enjoyed by
the foul-mouthed BLACKBOARD who shovels
filth into the columns of the Seaoer ScGuen-
ger, so we decline to defile our paper with
any further notice of him or his filthy breath
ings. An ordinary regard for common de-
cency and the respect we have for the com
munity and ourself, demands that we shall
not attempt to invade the caverns of corrup-
ton and filth in which he delights to wallow.
But we will not degrade the English lam
guage by attempting to make it do duty be-
yond the limit of possibility; so we will
not even try to depict the "true inwardness"
of this loathsome leper, but will simply leave
the ill-bred blackguard to smother in his
own filth. which is the worst possible fate
that could befall any living thing. II the
spectacle people will forgive us for noticing
this human scdb at all, we promise never to
stir up the stink-plle again.

MObbed Again.

Inc Belleylew correspondent of the REG
| IsTER was waylaid and beaten by mob at
the Corners to-day.
The foremost assailant was Otto Buford,
backed by his father and Newton Warren
and John Griffin, and some six or eight 9TH
ers. The preteSt for the assault was the
article in the last REGISTER in regard to the
High School scandal. The real cause was
close watch kept ON the Baptist Church at
the Corners. The report has reached me
that the whole thing was planned in a church
meeting. BY resorting to mob law they
have sustained the article in the REGISTER,
| and justified all the structures ever passed
on the Baptist Church at the Corners.
There were among the spectators some
members of the other churches at the Cor
ners who seemed to look on approvingly
Enough of that class were present to maze
record for all the churches.
And now let us hear the conclusion of the
about thirty months. During that time
have carefully studied the church members
in all the sects known here. I have attend
ed all kinds of religious meetings. / have
studied the preaching, watched the singing,
and analysed the prayers, and as the result
am shut up to the conclusion that the Holy
Spirit had left Belleview long before came
to it, and as consequence the only effect of
religious exercises here has been to harden
men in sin. Under these circumstances the
work of God is to wall in the Church so as
to keep men out of 1t.
Between the Church and tremendous In
dividuality that work is going on grandly.
If we deduct from the number of those who
JOIN the Church, the people without whom
the Church would be much better, the re-
mainder will be slim array. Henceforth I
shall not under any pretext enter any church
at the Corners. Provided always that Deacon
Bedott's myrmidons do not kill him out of
land, the REGISTER will still hear occa-
sionally from
July 11th. THOMAS CALLAHAN.

Pennington Times: "Bonne Terre
was the scene of several disgraceful at
fairs last Saturday, the immediate
cause of which was too free indul-
gence in whisky. There were two big
picnics there on that day, and there
were of course some men present, as is
nearly always the case in large gather
ings, who imagine that they cannot
enjoy themselves unless they get "as
drunk as billed OWLS" 1t IS pity that
some men will thus degrade them
selves, but it is nevertheless a fact.
The result at Bonnie Terre last Satur-
day was several difficulties, in one of
which a man named Montgomery from
near Bismarck, received cut in the
abdomen which penetrated the cavity.
In another difficulty, Jerry Coughlin
was shot through the thigh, Henry
Babb in the side, Vic Sullivan through
the thigh, and Pat Mclaughlin had
both his ears literally chewed off.
Whether any of the injuries are likely
to prove fatal we have not heard"

FredericktoaDn Plaindeater: 1.-The
branch pen should be located in South
east Missouri. Fredericktown presents
unequalled advantages and should be
selected. Cape Girardeau is not the
place for it and the action of the board
in reconsidering it's location there
clinches every argument made in op-
position to the decision by the Plain
dealer and other journals. The Com
missioners are not limited to Cape Cir
ardeau and Frederick town in making
selection for there are at least half
dozen other towns in which the branch
pen could be built with advantage to
to the State of Missouri, and while Wis
itiug towns in North Missouri they
might with equal prOpriety make
trip to Ironton, Pennington, Marble
Hill and other places in this section.
The Southeast is entitled to this insti-
tuition and ought not to be cheated out
of it by the action of town having no
inducements to offer but S2O0-per.acre-
