Cause OF Her Unhappiness.

She has sunny, golden hair,
She is exquisitely fair,
And her eyes of blue are gorgeous in their
lustra:
While her lips are ruby bright,
And her teeth are early white;
And in fact, She as a beauty. is buster.
But. despite her charms so rare,
And her fascinating air,
Aud tie knowledge that Of them all men
are talking,
She in life no pleasure finds,
For the frosty winter winds
Tint her lovely Eose with red, when she goes
walking.

A GARD FROM SHERIFF BOWMAN.

EDITOR MISUNDERSTANDING to the
fact that my duty as sheriff will compel my
attendance at the special term of the Laiay-
cite criminal court in the month CT June,
when three murder cases are to be tried, l
cannot, without neglecting this legal duty, be
able to see and talk with all Of the demo-
cratic voters in the county before the primary
election. My motto is, duty first. reelection
to office afterward. Since L cannot see in
person, all of my old friends who so heartily
supported me in my last canvass for sheriff,
and the many new friends I have made dur
ing my present term of office, l take the only
means left me. q talk through the papers Of
the county. 1t may not be known to all that
the laws of Missouri prohibit the same man
from holding the Office of sheriff for more
than two terms; such is the fact. The demo-
cratic voters of Lafayette county have hon.
ored me with the office of sheriff. l have
labored hard and faithfully to prove worthy
of the high trust, and can truly say, that
every writ, process, summons and all orders,
judgments and DEGREES, legally directed and
delivered to me. l have speedily and correct
" executed. For the truth of this statement
I appeal to the bar Of Lafayette county, and
the judges, attorneys, clerks, sheriffs and
marshals throughout the state. for whom L
have executed processes or papers. 1t is
we'll known to you all, that I have done the
hard work, the drudgery and the dangerous
work of the sheriff's office as deputy, for
years. Day in and day out; night in and
night out, 1 have ridden the roads and paths
of this county as no other man ever did, to
serve papers, arrest criminals and enforce the
laws Of the state; at a salary, too, that hardly
paid expenses. 1 have been honored by you
In being elected as sheriff of the county. l
have done all in nv power to serve you faith
fully. If 1 have failed In the discharge of any
duty belonging to the Office 1 do not kno v it.
As y life long democrat, who never failed or
faltered to work IN the ranks of my party as
a private for Its sterling principles, l claim
and ask at your hands an Endorsement Of my
administrator of the office of sheriff of La
tayette county. This l modestly but truly
believe I am entitled to. The law restricts
me to one term more, and this l feel confident
my democratic friends will give me.
Respectfully, JOSEPH BOWMAN.

the friend and defender of monopoly,

will naturally attack democratic news
papers for their fearless M lair
course. in this strike as in everything
else, but for a newspaper which pre-
tends to be democratic, to fall INTO line
with the enemy, and charge upon them
the dissemination of incendiary views
is hardly to be expected; and when 1t
arrogates to itself the honesty and the
brains of the daily democratic press OF
the state it succeeds only in making
itself ridiculous. All this is said in
kindness to the Bazoo, but in a feeling
of very positive hostility to the Sir
Oracle style which a few newspapers IN
Missouri nave adopted on this question.
Democratic newspapers are, as a rule,
very independent. They are not the

1t strikes us that much of the Cock
rell and anti Cockrell business is more
calculated to disrupt the democratic
party than it is to benefit the persons
in whose interest it is being written
and printed. There is altogether too
much that is bitter and personal in it.
The democratic party, or its principles,
are not so dependent upon re-electing
or defeating Senator Cockrell as some
people seem to suppose. Both will
live, and, we hope, flourish no matter
which side is defeated, and one side is
most certainly doomed to defeat. We
were virulently attacked not long ago
by a democrat, who, as we took it,even
threatened us after a fashion, for saving
that we believed, as the matter stood.
that it was best to re-elect Senator
Cockrell. No one who knows of what
he speaks will say that we advance this
opinion for any kind of a personal end
1t is given solely upon public consider
ations, and for patriotic reasons in be-
half of the democratic party and the
country. 1t is no doubt true that since
he has been in Washington City Senator
Cockrell has not set the Potomac river
on fire. Neither has anyone else, for
that matter. Neither will anyone soon,
no difference how his name is spelled.
We have observed and compared con-
gressmen, in the senate and in the
house, for ourselves; we have seen the
work in Missouri of various democratic
statesmen as canvassers; we have COM
pared the personal character of the men
who are either offered or available, and
we have conscientiously concluded that
it is our duty to advise the reelection
of Senator Cockrell. Such counsel, it
seems to us, should be worth more than
e~xtravagant partisan laudation or de,
nunciation. And another thing, it i;
not only our right to give this advice
but thinking as we do it is our duty tt
do 50. Senator Cockrell is at least thu
