Columbia was overwhelmed with
visitors, last week, to the commence
ment exercises, the unwilling of the
original monument erected at the grave
of Jefferson, the press meeting, and the
civil engineers convention. The most
distinguished gentlemen present were
Secretary of State Bayard and Senator
Vest. Mr.. Bayard's address was a
very happy one indeed, especially that
portion of it in which he stated that
the election Of Mr.. Jefferson over
Aaron Burr was affected by the vote of
his ancestor,a Bayard and a Federalist,
who at the instance of Hamilton voted
for Mr.. Jefferson. Of course without
disparagement to the speech of the
great Delaware statesman, it is only
just to say, that the address of Senator
Vest was by far the ablest and most
polished of the remarkable week at
Columbia. 1t was an epitome of al
most all that can be said of the grand
character of Thomas Jefferson; and it
was couched in such a terse and class
ical selection of words that it deserves
to become a permanent part of our lit
erature. Every democrat who loves
the immortal principles of his party
would do well to read it to his children.
MIR. Bayard and Senator Vest went from
Columbia to Kansas City, where they
were received with great demonstra-
tions of respect, and Mr.. Bayard went
thence to Lawrence, Kan, to attend the
commencement exercises of the state
university there. We are glad that
Mr.. Bayard, occupying the prominent
position he does in the government, has
has had the opportunity to measure
for himself the industry and the intel
lect of the great west. His visit cal
only result in good.

manner to do honor to Misses Kramer and
Hollis, the teachers respectively of instru-

an entertainment of the kind can evidence
artistic cultivation in pupils this one did and
we congratulate Prof. kerdolff on its success.

THE DURBINs.

We learn, from a source that we con-
slider entirely reliable, that all effort Is
being made by the friends of the Dur
bin gang of robbers recently sent to the
p%enitentiary from this county, to reduce
their terms of imprisonment. Our
informant. tells us that to this end a re-
tanning fee has already been sent to one
of the most prominent criminal lawyers
in st. Louis. The idea of the movers
in this matter, was, that something
could be accomplished in the courts.
Of course this Is a mistake, as nothing
can now be done to reduce their terms
except by executive clemency. We hope
we are not without the quality Of mer-
cy; we appreciate that very many times
punishment for crime is more severe
upon- the women and children who are
left at home than it is upon the harden
ed and callous criminal who is sent to
the p%enitentiary. For the innocent
sufferers we feel the deepest sympathy;
even for the criminals themselves we
are sorry; but this thing of Furnishing
crime is, upon the part OF society, very
much a matter Of self protection. 1t is
proven beyond a peradventure that
short sentences do not deter criminals
from going back to crime when released
from prison-long sentences do. Judge
Ryland is a good criminal Judge. He
knows the law, and he executes it i'm
partially, but he is a little too tender
hearted. When the criminal pleads
guilty and thus saves the state expense
and trouble, we think it is right for the
Judge to reduce the sentence below the
maximum, and even somewhat below
what a jury would most likely have i'm
posed, but we do not believe Judge
Ryland's apparent rule to be a good
one in such cases, imposing only the
minimum punishment provided by law.
That is what he did in the Durbin cases.
These men we're a terror to the neigh
borhood in which they lived. They
were systematic, deliberate criminals,
and their punishment was light in COM
parison with their crimes. The honest
people of the county would feel out
ragged at any mitigation of their punish
ment. 1t the matter is brought before
Gov. Marmaduke we hope he will
consult the court and the prosecuting
attorney of this county before he
comes to any conclusion regarding it.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Post, chuckles over the alleged discov-
cry, by the Herald, that the Intelligent
Ger has somewhere used an INGRAM
NAUTICAL expression. Neither paper
undertakes to point out in what the
error consisted. The Post while criti-
cising our grammar spells "boquet" and
''benefitted" as we have printed them
here. You had better buy a Webster's
primary speller, sonny, before you
begin to talk about "syntax."
And, by the way, Boonville is neither
so insignificant a place, or 80 far sway,
as to justify you in not knowing how
to spell its name.

Our Higginsville contemporary, the
Post, makes several mistakes in speak
ing of the est. Louis & Kansas City
Short Line Railroad" 1t constantly
alludes to it as an "air line" The
road it seeks is all 'fair." The road that
will be built is the "Short Line" and
1t is organized, just as we stated it was,
last week, one of the points mentioned
in the charter being Lexington.
Another thing, the Post assumes that
the road will cross at Arrow Rock,
when the probability is, that it will
cross the Missouri river four or five
mi les above that place.
