A Disgrace to the State.

Butler Times
the sedalia papers are agitating
with vi gor the removal of tie state
capital. Its present location is an
out-ofthe-way place, difficult of ac-
cessiOn, and Jefferson City is an old
fossil of a town. The government
buildings will soon have to be rebuilt,
and We are in favor of moving it to a
place that will not be disgrace and
standing reproach to this great COM
monwealth. Sedalia is a growing
young metropolis, a business and
commercial center is centrally locat-
ed, besides she offers large induce
ments in the form of donations. Sci
dalia should have the capital by al
means.

Jefferson a Dead Nillag e u

n. {. Journal
The committee on capital removal
has adopted report aud will submit
bi favoring the removal Of the cap
ital from Jefferson City TO Sedalia.
The prospects of its adoption by the
legislature are good, and Sedaiia Is
Consequently jubilant. There are
many reasons why the capital should
no LONGER be continued in Jefferson
City, and none why it should be.
Jefferson City is "a dead village ana
haa been so for years. There has
been nothing in the town or the sur
rounding country to bring railroads
to 1t. and iris virtually isolated, as
Tar as convenient railroad facilities
are cOnce. ned, and the buildings for
which the state has been at an ex-
pense to erect, were built at such
time that they have become antiqua,-
ed, inadequate and almost useless for
the purposes for which they were
built. Moreover, none of them are
expensive or costly structures, and il
would seem If We are 20 have capt.
tai removal, that now is about IA
gOcd time to do it economically, as
We could avail ourselves OF and taking
advantage of the propitious momenr,
the capital may well he located in
Sedalia and provisions be made for
the erection of state buildings suitable
and safe Tor tie archives Of the state.
and convenient and commodiOus for
the transaction Of the states tui,ness.
with liberal calculations for its
growth.

1t is little amusing 10 real the
Sedalia papers just at this time.
They want the capital. Their cause
is just and should Frevsil. They cffer
to pay for the tavors they ask. God
speed the day when Missouri shall
have respectable capital On respect
ground. and 'poor old Missouri"
shall take her place in the ranks with
her sister states, and it is only a 9ues-
ton of time until it shall be done. To
squander more money on those bar
rem hills seems to us very poor fnan-
ceering, and we predict the energy
shown by Sedalia's business men Will
receive IFS meri;ed reward.

The General Assembly of Missouri

of it. The time has arrived for the

The "lunch party" should be Ia
boOed. 1t is provincial in character.
II is not we'll for men or women to
separate in the search for amusement,
for neither sex have half as much
fun alone as the two may find to-
gether. If there is nything good to
eat at home the male part OF the fam
lily is entitled 10 his share. If pretty
women gather together it is q
waste of sweetness if no men are pres
ent to enjoy their company. Let some
of tie LEADING ladies set their faces
against this craze for "luncnes" and
make the diuner party fashionable.

The knitter's strike in ST. Louis con-
tinues and it is only another iIlustra-
tion of capital against labor in very
feeble way. 1t would seem to disin-
terested spectator that since trades
unions generally claim to be for the
uplifting of the poor and down-trod-
den, and also for the purpose of Sc
curing living wages, by arbitration,
it would not be a bad idea to put
their views in practice by making
80 me move for the benefit of these
poor girls and at least protecting them
against the insults which they CAIN
they will have to contend with in Wis
iting the manufacturers of hosiery.
1t is girls strike it is true, and for
this reason it is more noticeable, for
argue as much as we may against the
fact, the gentler sex as a rule, will en-
|dure more hard work, less pay, and
more wrongs than any man on the
globe. But since those knitters know
that they cannot live on the wages
given them, work as hard as they
NAV and their demands are reasona-
bic, all good citizens should help
them to gain their ends, and it is to
hoped they will do so.

In speaking of the foreman of the
Standard Hosiery mills, of st,
Louis, the Chronicle says: "Parents
who have any respect for their
daughters will not permit
them to work for a man who ad,
vises them to commit suicide and
threatens the indignity of kicking
them down stairs. Mr.. Earns is
charged with this brutality by the
girls who have been employed in his
establishment j." Parents as rule,
who are compelled to allow their
daughters to work from dark of morn
ing until the dark of the night, for a
pittance no matter how much they
may respect them, are not so circum-
stapced as to be able to say, "You
shall work no longer when the fore
man i'll treats YOU" but on the con-
(yrary are compelled to endure and
keep silent because they know that
''half loaf is better than no bread"
The trouble is, there are plenty of en-
ployers who care so little for the
wrongs of their employees. that if they
do not encourage their foreman in be-
ing brutal, they yet display passive
Indifference which is equivalent to the
same thing. There can be but little
doubt that many an employer has
been plunged into strike by bis en-
ployees, because of the unwise counsel
and the innate brutality of some of
his foreman. This class, speaking in
Ia general sense, have been elevated
to their position from the ranks of
the employees, and a little "brief
authority" has made them tyrannical
as well as aggressive. Every en-
ployer should remember that his fore.
men have the power within themselves
to prove humane, careful,
honest and fair minded, or cruel, tyr
annical, abusive, dishonest and OPP
pressive, and when grievances of this
class are laid before him, he should
not at once blindly believe that his
foreman is right and the employee
wrong, but give the matter pains
taking investigation lest the real cul.
prit escape.

4 MYSTERIOUS CASE.
w. A jackson. President Of the Texas
Live Stock Association Fails to
Materialize.
The Waco Banks Out several Thousand
Dollars Fort Worth and Dallas Par
.ies Said TO be Involved.

spscial TO the Gazette.
WACO, TEX, July ct ia now gen
orally believed that w. A. Jackson, OF
the cattle firm Of Jackson Bros, Hill
county, and who is president OF the
Central Texas Live Stock association,
has disappeared Of his own accord.
Jackson was said to have left Chicago
on June "a for Louisiana, Mo, and,
after spending few days there, was
TO come on to Hillsboro. He has not
been seer nor heard OF since, and at
fret foul play was feared. IL is now
deyeloped that four of the Waco banks
hold Jackson's parer TO the amount OF
$40 500 and that other debts he owes
here will run his liabilities In this city
up to S2g. 900. Bankers who are In a
rolition 20 know say he owes
money in Dallas, Fort Worth
and other cities, and that
his liabilities cannot fall short OF SlOO,-
O0O. He operated on big scale, bor-
rowed freely, paid good interest and
pfomptly, and WAS regarded as good
for almost any sum. His friends here
are amszed at his non-appearance, and
are 10th 70 believe he has practiced
rascality. 1t Is yet question OF grave
doubt how much the banks here can
make out Of his notes, IA the securities
are nearly all personal. Only one
bank. the Citizens National il willing
to say its claim Ii fully secured.
w. w. Tread ,fell, a prosperous mer-
chant at Abbott, Hill county, and
worth from so 900 to so 900, is dis
covered to be an indorser on nearly
all Of Jackson's paper. Treadwell
owed about SO 900 to banks aud mer-
GIANTS here, and $1,000 TO Hillsboro
banks in his individual capacity. As
soon rs 1t leaked out that TresdI
was or Jackson's paper for such a
large amount, his lTre0dwel's) credi-
tors here and in Htllsboro besieged
him in force. He secured them all,
one by one, protesting his willingness
10 give up every dollar Of his property.
II Is said that Jackson's fall will
completely. ruin Tread we'll, who
IL highly esteemed by all
his creditors as al honest man, who
Endorsed freely for Jackson because
OF the long friendship subsisting be-
tween the two. IL Is also said that
Hfeadwell owes considerable money
ia Dallas and Fort Worth. The affair
has created much excitement ia bust
ness circles to-day, and a big delega.
ton Of Waco bankers, merchants and
lawyers went up 10 Hill county 10
look after their interests. No one
seems able 10 surmise what Jackson
has done with all the money, as he IL
known to have sold over 1900 head OF
cattle within the last ninety days.
olme Of his friends insist that he will
turn M all right yet.

LONDON, July o. Northumberland
street, where the Pail Mall Gazette Of
flee is located, has all the afternoon
been packed from end to end with a
macs Of excited people. AS many as
5000 news-venders have at times
been in the crowd elbowing and
otherwise struggling for opportunities
to purchase copies OF the Gazette to
sell. At one time the pressure of the
crowd was go great that all the lower
windows of the GsZette buildings were
crushed. When the doors Of the pub
lica,ion offices were opened for the
sale OF the ii rst edition, there was q
tremendous rush for papers, during
which women and boys were knock ed
down, trodden upon and in many
cases badly Injured. Despite the ex-
traordinary preparations TO meet the
public demand which the experience
Of the past three days had taught the
proprietors Of the Gazette to
make, the sales this evening
soon exhausted the edition and, the
supply OF paper giving out, the presses
were stopped for several hours before
the requisite additional supplies could
be procured.
The Gazette Challenges Prosecution.
The Pail Mall Gazette reprOduces ar
ticles favorable to its cause from the
Christian religious newspapers the
Western Mercury and the Belfast
News, together with letters Of pre-
test from John Brinton, Liberal
M. p. of Kidderm1nster, and other
persons of prominence. The Gazette
this evening publishes an editorial
thanking the city authorities for
attempting to suppress the
sale of the papers, thereby
breaking the conspiracy of silence
maintained by the press concerning
the Gazette's revelations.
"Police seizures OF new spapers
are common in VIENNA con.
tinues the Gazette, "but such
high-handed outrages on the
freedom OF the press should have been
impossible in London. Instead OF
wsging war against the street boys
let the authorities take action against
the responsible parties in this
business. If we have published
anything obscene let them prosecute
us. We deny that anything has been
published by US deserving that cen
sure, and we declare the authorities
towards, or worse, If they
fail to proceed against us
after having charged in open
| court that the Pail Mall Gazette was
an obscene publication. We reluc.
family adopted this mode of publicity
in order to arouse men to a just sense
of the horrors existing all around
them. Now, the more pub.
licity, the better we are
prepared to prove our statements. We
can summon witnesses from the dean
of Canterbury and the prince OF Wales
down to Mr.. JeHries. We will put
our chief informant and his assistants
in the witness box.
