WEEKLY BAZOO.
SEDALIA, Mo-,
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10: 1885.
A VAIL OF THE wRErCHBD

City Journal, says:
G 81 am property owner in Jeffel
son City, came here because thi
was the State capitol; have spent al
my means to improve my property il
this city and if the capitol is removed
then / am ruined, for my property
will be worthless.
Every session of the Legislature
these Sedalia Yankees and southern
allies come down here to steal oul
property. Like Byron says: THE
Assyrians came down like the wolf OF
the fold with their banners all stream
ing in purple and gold,' and they
ought to meet the same disaster fol
their audacious attempt at the de
struction of this city, upon whose ruin
they are TO be profted, and the same
destruction that befel the Assyrians
ought to, and no doubt will, oVertake
the efforts of these Sedalia robbers -
This is very grave admission, and
certainly goes to prove our good
neighbors at the Bluff City have
neither the push of the yankee" or
the pluck of the Southern. Wonder
what breed of animal they are?
1t is also virtually an admission,
that but for the state capital, Jefer-
SON City possesses no advantages of
its own: and but for the fifteen-cent
shows and big board bile furnished
il by the ruling Of the legislature,
every other year its property would
be worthless" and even the little
four column Journal could not exist.
Sedslia has lived and thrived with
out the capital. 1t will live and
thrive despite the capital. sedalia
does not ask the capital to enhance
the value Of her property. She does
not ask for it in order to live off the
pickings of the poor and ill-paid Pep
.resentatives. No, kind friends.
Sedalia asks for the state capital on
the high grounds of public interest
and public convenience. In order to
advance public welfare and prosperity
In order to ennoble the legislators tc
feel as easy, aud live at least On equal
Fterms socially and physically, with
the diamond studded and befobbed
hosteler who furnishes them theil
dinners, and still be able to live with
in their incomes. One of two thing
must be done, our legislators mus
have their pay doubled to meet The
extortionate demands of the. console
dated fleeing machines of the pres
emit capital, or the capital must be re
moved to spot sufficiently alluvial t.
raise black eyed peas for less thar
Eve cents apiece.
as a matter of economy the capita
ought to be removed.
As matter Of convenience, j
ought to be removed.
As a matter of progress, it ought tt
be removed.
Asa matter of comfort, it ought Il
be removed.
As a matter of general utilit j
ought to be removed.
As a matter Of taste, it ought to b,
removed. -.....
As matter of necessity, it must b
removed. ......... ....-.
AS a matter of fact, Sedalia sup
plies for its location every advantag,
Jefferson City lacks, and dispense
with every objection that Jefferson
City contains.
AS matter of fact, Sedalia ha.
pledged herself to donate 40 acres O
land, worth more than every public
building, state and national in the
city OF Jefferson, including the space
they occupy, and to further donate
$500, 900 In cash as a clear bonus
Ifthis be stealing or Yankee trick
it is quite probable it is the kind thu
people will relish.
