THE CONTEST.

Some of our democratic exchan-
ges are considerably exercised
over the Higbes-Ellison contest.
AS stated last week, the contest is
not made to worry Mr.. Ellison, but
TO find out whether the election
LAWS of Missouri mean anything.
Iii claimed that Mr.. Higbee wants
the Judgeship on a technicality.
1t is not a technicslity on
which the contest is being made,
but an open violation of the law,
and it has been SO decided by the
best legal talent in the state both
Democratic and Republican. 1t is
the duty of every American citi-
zen, it matters not what his politi-
cal faith may be, to see that the
laws of the state are kept inviolate.
Does it ever occur to our readers
that the fraud and corruption, SC
much talked of at the present day,
proceed, not from the common
people, but from those who occu.
py the places of position and pow,
er, in which they have been placed
by the common people. Let one
of the common people openly vio-
late the law, does he get off on the
technicality dodge? No. He is
brought before the courts of jus,
tice and not only made to satisfy
the law, but must also pay fees
which are allowed to the powers
that be, for convicting him, while
the man in power may as openly
violate the law, and by the use Of
money and power, which are given
him by the common people, escape
on technicality. five would re.
from, the reformation must begin

Purify that of its filth and the en-.
tire stream will become cleansed
Mobs, strikes and riots are but the
outgrowth of power abused, and

whose duty it is to protect
and enforce the law with
that reverence and feeling OF
sacredness, which influences the
father in defending the virtue and
innocency of his daughter. This
contest will give US the meaning
of the law, and not only this, but
it will determine whether those,
who occupy positions of honor,
trust, and power, as well as the
humble citizen, are to be madeto
keep step, in the march of life, to
the time of legal music.

RICHMOND, Mo-, Dec. 4th.-The
Chicago, Burlington and Kansas
City engineer corps arrived here
to-day and are now running the
fourth line from this place to Bo-
gard, in Carroll County. The line
through this city and for several
miles east of here runs parallel
with the one recently surveyed by
the Santa Fe company. Parties
who claim to know, say that this
is the locating survey, and that
work will be commenced on the
road early in the spring. The
Santa Fe engineers have located
their line from Sibley to this place
and will also begin work in the
spring.

herds of forty or fifty cattle owned
by the farmers throughout the
county, have been numerically
culled, and the best scrub steers
have not paid a profit to the man
who raised them from calves. In
a few instances where the farmers
had bunch of graded steers, they
have done reasonably well, as the
graded steer invariably brought
from twenty-five to fifty cents
moro per hundred than the best
scrub. The graded steer, at same
age and with ,ame feed will usual
ly weigh $50 to 200 pounds more
than the scrub, when sold as a
a three year old. This extra weight
with the addition of the fifty cents
per hundred extra for the good
feeding qualities of the grade,
makes difference of ten OF
twelve dollars in The value of the
steer, which is a big item when fif-
teen or twenty head are sold. This
fact has been forcibly brought to
the attention of our cattle growers
this season, and we are glad to
note that considerable money is
being expended for blooded ami.
mails in Adair county. Our cattle
growers can otinvest their money
in any manner that will yield them
larger returns, and there is no bet.
ter index to the future prosperity
of our community than these in
vestments. Not only do the gooc
feeding qualities of the grade
make him more valuable, than the
scrub, but another reason, more
potent than any other, is this, We
learn from the stock yards of the
large cities that, the scrub cattle
grown in the states come in com
petition with the long horned
steer of the western ranches, which
costs the owner nothing but fol
herding and branding. The grades
are of a different class and do no
have to compete with these
grassers, while our scrubs will un
doubtediy have to meet these un
couth westerners in competitor fol
many years to come.

A Business barometer.

A good business barometer is
found in immigration figures.
When trade is depressed in this
country immigration falls off, and
when it is buoyant the arrivals in
crease. In the first ten months of
the year 333, ,94S aliens landed in
the various customs districts of
the United States, which was over
$4,000 more than in the like peri
cd of 1885. The increase, however,
has been in the last few months,
October's total being over 1900
greater than that of the same
month last year. Conspicuous
features of the immigration statis-
tics of the past year or two have
been the increase of arrivals from
England and the decrease from
Ireland. England and Wales con-
tributed over $1,000 in the ten
months, and Ireland not quite 49,
600. Germany still maintains the
lead, with $4,000 for the ten
months. The increase from Eng
land, however, put the immigra-
tion from the United Kingdom as
a whole, far ahead of that from
Germany.-Globe Democrat.

The ktehison Secures Its Bridge
Charter.


The following is taken from the
Fort Madison correspondence to
Saturdays Globe Democrat, and
gives the latest news of the rail-
road through Kirksville: "The
numerous surveys which have
been made through and about our
city during the past few months
has awakened considerable inter.
est among our merchants and
manufacturers. 1t has been the
opinion of knowing ones that the
surveys made were for the Chi
cago, Kansas and Western OF
rather the Chicago extension OF
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad, which, by their articles
of ofincorporation, proves to be the
case. To-day representative OF
this line secured the charter for a
bridge over the Mississippi River
at this point, which has been own
ed by stock company of our citi-
zens for several years. The terms
of transfer were private, but a part
of the contract was that work upon
the line was to begin within sixty
days. 1t is understood by parties
here that work will begin on both
sides of the river and be pushed
rapidly forward. A corps of sur
veyors commenced at this end of
the line last week and are to meet
others working to this point near
the Missouri State line"

bitlons that are attracting the at
tention of manufacturers OF the
world Is project to hold an Irish
exhibition in New York City some
time next year. The object is to
create a market in America for
Irish products. The German man.
ufacturers contemplate two or
three European exhibitions in or
der to popularize their products,
and the German wollen manufac-
turers are now pushing their
goods into the markets of India,
South America and Australia in
competition with England. Swiss
manufacturers are so surprised
over the competition offered by
German manufacturers that they
propose to exclude cotton products
from their country.
Many American manufacturers
are smiling complacently at the
discontinue of British manufac-
turers who are suffering from Ger
man competition. The Germans
are crowding into nearly every
branch of industry. They are sell
ing wire rods in enormous guam
titles in Birmingham at one dollar
per ton below the lowest rates
that English manufacturers can
make them, and they are better
quality. English manufacturers
have their agents now in Ger
many studying German manufac-
turing methods, cost of labor, cost
of transportaakn, and every other
factor which enables them to main.
tain the present destructive com,
petition. The Germans are com.
mercially the most active people
at this time, and are even surpris.
ing American manufacturers il
