The Southeast Press Association.

1t is being mooted among the breth-
rem of the press Of Southeast Missouri
that the Press Association Of this Sec
ton hold its next session at Ironton.
Our city is almost centrally located,
and is as convenient of access foF the
brethren as any other place in the
whole section of the country embraced
in the Southeast. Then the beautiful
location of the town, the magnificent
scenery of the surrounding country,
and the extensive mining and quarry
ing enterprises of the neghborhootf,
are such as to guarantee much pleas
ure during the hours or relaxation from
the labor for which we will meet.
Pilot Knob, the greatest iron mine of
the world, can be reached in few min
utes, and the extensive quarries at
Graniteville in half all hours; while,
to those of the brethren not that way
inclined, we can say that our healthful
breezes will invigorate them, while
from our streets they may gaze in rap
ture upon our beautiful Valley and
grand mountains, reared by the hand
of the Great Architect. to please the
artistic taste for which our brethren
are noted.
Grandiloquence and braggadocio
aside, gentlemen, we and our people
say, come on! We guarantee you a
warm welcome, a pleasant time, and
profitable sojourn. Come!

Judge Sherwood, we see, is going
about scoring" Senator Cockrell. Mr..
Sherwood will perhaps be remembered
as the Supreme Court Judge who rem
dered decision in favor of a railroad
company which had been sued for the
killing of an OK by one of its freight
trains. Mr.. S. found for the company
on the unique ground that the OK was
guilty of "contributory negligence" in
that he stood on the track eating of
hay which had been dropped there,
and paid no attention to the statutory
signals! The decision doesn't state the
point in these exact words, but that is
what it means. The people lately re-
taliated and ran roughshod over the
Judge in this canvass, SO long as he
staid on the track: but. having more
he got off before he was
utterly annihilated, and now takes his
revenge in bawling at the biggest man
who rides on the train.

ated nearly twelve years previous,
owned property in st. Louis and Ca
rondelet used in the manufacture of
pig-iron, nails and other iron products,
against which Rufus J. Lakeland and
Timothy B. Edgar held mortgages to
secure the payment of | 900 bonds for
81 900 each, issued by the Vulcan Steel
company in May, 1875.
The capital stock of the st. Louis
Ore md Steel company when it was
formed by consolid alton, was fixed at
So, DOC, 900 and divided into so 900 shares
of 500 each. There was 1854, 800 of
this stock issued i'm exchange for stock
of the Vulcan Steel company land $204,-
600 of the Vulcan Steel company's
stock was not taken up. There was at
the time of the consolidation 81 ,427 900
in shares of 800, of the Pilot Knob
Iron company's stock in safes in differ
ent parts Of the country. Of this
81 300, 900 was taken up in exchange
for St. Louis Ore and Steel company's
stock and Sis, 800 left outstanding.
The new corporation then issued 10000
shares of stock to purchase 5000 acres
of coal-producing land in Jackson
county, Illinois, and railroad connect
ing the coal lands with the city. In
May, 1882, the company decided to in
crease its bonded indebtedness and is
sued 1000 bonds of 81 900 each and
granted mortgage OH all its real es-
tate to the Farmers Loan and Trust
company to secure the payment of the
bonds with interest. The manufacture
of iron was not profitable at that time
and in 1883 it became necessary for the
corporation to provide further capital
TO support its floating debt and for that
purpose $500, 900 of bonds were ordered
issued and Robert M. Olyphant and
Henry Hitchcock We're given mort
gage on the railroad end of the proper
~ TO insure them against loss. AT the
beginning of the following year the
the corporation was in need of about
81 10000 and promissory notes were
issued to fill the want.
Mr.. ELEPHANT argued that the finan-
cIal condition of the corporation was
such there was great danger Of multi
plicity of suits being brought against it
and causing heavy loss to the cred
of the corporation, while it was then
being conducted at profit. He asked
that receiver be appointed. A re-
ceiver was appointed by the court and
has managed the business of the cor
poratien since that time.
Saturdays Republican also contain
ed the following:
Judge Treat and Brewer confirmed
yesterday the following allowances
recommended by the master in the
case of Robert M. Olyphan and the
Farmers Loan and Trust company of
New York, against the st. Louis Ore
and Steel company: E. T. Allen, at
torDey for the plaintiff, $4,000; R. NJ.

tai, $4,000. The form of decree pre-
sented to the judges was slightly mod

Will They FOreclOse?

Rumors have been frequent to the
Company would soon 60 out of the
hands of the Receiver, and the excel.
lent management of it's affairs under
the Receiver-the rapid payment of the
debts due by the Company-give color
to the report. We were, therefore,
somewhat surprised to see the follow
ing in the Republican of Thursday last
although it may be possible that a
foreclosure of the old mortgage will
facilitate the reorganization:
Special Master John Wickman has
filed his report in the case of Robert M .
Olyphant and the Farmers Loan and
Trust company of New York against
the ST. Louis Ore and Steel company
ct al. Judge Treat Will be asked to-day
to grant a decree of foreclosure, and if
it is granted the property of the Steel
company will be sold unless satisfac-
tory settlement is made with it's cred
itors before January l, 1857.
The matter was introduced i'm the
United States circuit court about two
years ago by Robert M. Olyphant of
new 1Ork, beginning actlOn against
the ST. Louis Ore and Steel company,
the Grand Tower and Carbondale Rail-
road company, the Farmers Loan and

not be allowed to use the machinery of the
federal government to influence party action
either in the making of platforms or the Sc
lection of candidates. President Cleveland
has drawn the line between working for
party and working to control it, and it ought
to be the dead line for every federal official
who crosses it.-Republicdn.
Correct doctrine, and one upon which
the welfare of the party depends. A
man who has been honored by his
party in elevation to office ought to
keep himself to himself, and not try to
"downn this Democrat and elevate
that other; i'll short, to assume dicta-
torship in the affairs OF his party. We
trust that President Cleveland may
summary punish all such imitators of
the rule established and worked to its
fullest bounds by the Republicans. We
have no objection to "bosses," if they
boss uprightly, subscribing the party
rather than self; but the combination
hog and "boss" is sure to rule to ruin.
The following from the Potosi Inde-
pendant is sound sense, and we COM
mend it IL our readers as such: The
popular cry with the Republican can
didates, when they are talking to DEM
ocrats, is. "that there is no politics in
county Offices Such nonsense! Is it
possible that because an office is going
to be held in county, and therefore,
because it is local, it becomes a nonen-
ity-a kind of mother-hubbard gown,
that will fit anybody from Mugwump
to patriot? They only talk this silly
trash to Democrats, and they do it to
justify their own positions. They know
| better, for there is no candidate on
earth who has got sense enough to ride
horse and go around the country by
himself but knows that that is not so.
In the first place we have govern
ment comprising all the States; then
we have the state government then
the state is divided in counties. These
divisions are made for convenience,
and for the better government of the
people. Now, these fellows will all say
that, there is politics in state offices
then, if that is true, what is the differ.
ence between the state and the county
office? just this; the county office is
Just as important in point of politics as
the state Office; they are each patt OF
the government. The county officers
are much nearer the people than the
state officers, and therefore are the
most important; they levy and collect
our taxes and execute our laws at home;
we associate with them, and they are
our officers. The offices are our offices;
we distribute them; they belong to the
government and are to be distributed
to the political party nearest in SYM
patty with the people. Then if a man
