ST. LOUIS, Sept. i.-ISpscial Cores
pondence.l st. Louis can got up most
any article OF weather on short notice.
This week has displayed AZ many
samples az an "lnnocent oil tie road"
We have had baimy sunshine, furious
north winds, and fog that would de-
light tho lungs OF y Londoner. To-
night tirst.class storm seems brew
ing, aud tho mercury will fall, which
indicates that fall has really set In, and
with 1t tho stirring activity OF fall
trade. The merchant that, tire Ign
mere inertia, has lain dormant through
summers heat, now PUSHES around IN
tho whirlpo of trade.
st. Louis IN being stirred from CEN
ter to circumference over railroad dis
criminstiop, and II tho right pressure
is brought 10 bear, will command an
Unprecedented patronage this c7mihg
sessnn. Texas, as considerable COM
ponent part of the whole, has her
quota OF marketable values TO sell and
her mercantile wants to be bought. IL
tho oemsnd 10 made, Texas, through
low freights, will naturally come 70 81
Louis 70 barter.
The och Instant, the second opening
OF st. Louis exposition commences:
Being better prepared by time ano
finances, the display will naturally DO
greater. The art gallery promises a
finer display than ever seen on the
continent. The same day is also set
for the examining trial of Maxwell,
the supposed murderer OF Preller.
The first day Of his trial being fail
ure, due principally to the crush In
the courtroom, ana the crush consist
ing mostly of women that would bo
shocked were they not termed refined
ladies. The women hsve taken Max
we'll as II 'ipet," to lie fed Oh dainty
dinners and smothered by odorous
bouquets, a In Rothschild. Such DEM
onstrations On the part OF the dainty
darlings go far 10 reconcile one 10
the belief OF tho old snake-woman.
There must be ghoulish element IN
woman that impels her to lavish at.
tention on man surrounded by all
evidences of iieDdish murder. Ii
must be pleasing reflection to these
| would-be respectables that they are
rivals with tho demi-mond0 in the ia
vors of this man.
1t makes one feel as IL they had
| roiassd much-needed article from
| the bill OF fare to pick up q paper now
| s-days and not find tho name OF Grant.
| This country passed through an or.
deal, and the South came out purified,
Bus give honor where it belongs.
The enthusiasm that swept this
| land as tidal wave, was
wholly due to the power OF the
press. If the papers had ignored the
| wbilom hero in his last sickness and
subsequent death, around his tomb
would have gathered only ne family n:!
snd perscnal friends. But the press,
thGt wonderful modern power, /,
aroused sympathy, impelled attention
and nations gathered at its command
! Go do honor to man that rose from the
ranks, And the power of the press 1s
now plainly exemplitled. Other mat
tars command attention, and tbs mon
urnents 10 be-built to his memory are
rising YEARLY, painfully.
Sr. Louis in q arnail degrso can
syplpathize with Texas on the pro-
hibition question, MS "beer or nc
| beer" at the exposition has been the
fighting question. Beer won the day,
but the opponents are growing sui
ienly, ana fights in different quarters
over saloons. When long-haired men
| uOU WOlliCh ptok0 paV va
such a crusade every personal prlyi'
lege and party principle must be
butchered and offered up as sacrifice
to the petty god they run on wheels
| It is mot az all surprising to goo 1t rush
ing rampant over Texas. 1t Will moi
take many moons to de'
termine that it is the com,
bined effort and forlorn hope Of
the lately defeated 6. o. p. to create
schisms IN Democratic union, and
with the wild discord among brethren
| it will be an easy matter for the
aliens to secure party prize. Some
| involved are, of course, 1gnoran,
worL ers, but the prime movers are
party tools, and it Is grand mistake
for Texas papers to impugn the mo
tiyes or shake the political stability
of Coke and Mills for the stand they
have taken in behalf OF the party they
represent. Mills has stood In the
breach, however, before and came ou'
loaded with honors and covered Win
The city is now hold
ing liza breath in suspense
over the political changes to DO made
in the post office, marshal and other
things, Cleveland is reported as
gaining strength IN the Adirondacks'
It is to be hoped he will have the physi-
cal strength and honest courage to
sweep out every Republican IN the
land, and commence the fiscal year
with new deal of Democrats. Civil
service reform is like prohibition, q
grand, roaring humbug. Last year
when the Democrats marshaled their
forces and mustered their strength for
the election, who supposes that they
would have come out SO strong, II
they had supposed their claims
ignored, and their political enemies
enjoying the uppermost seats at the
tablet ,rhe people woro sick and dis :
