ALUMINIUM.
The Great Metal of the Future.

The Great Metal of the Future.
Iron is the basis of our civilization.
Without it we should have miserably
failed to reach our present exalted
station, and the earth would scarcely
maintain its present population.
Should il for moment forget Its cum
ning and lose its power, earthquake
shocks or the wreck of matter could
not be more disastrous. However
automatic may be everything that can
be said of this wonderful metal, it is
undoubtedly certain that it must give
way to metal that has still greater
proportions and vaster possibilities.
Strange and startling as may seem the
assertion yet | believe it nevertheless
to be true. that We are approaching the
period, if not already standing upon
the threshold OF the day, when this
magical element will be radically sup
planted, and when this valuable
mineral will be as completely super
seeded as the stone of the Aboriglnes.
The coming metal, then, TO which
our reference Is made, Is aluminium,
the most abundant metal in the earIhs
crust. Leaving out of consideration
the constituents of the earth's center,
whether tney be molten or gaseous,
more or less dense as the case may be,
as we approach 1t, aud contining our
selves To the only practical phase of
the subject-the crust, we find alum
mum Is beyond question the most
abundant aud most useful of all metal
nc substances.
It's the metallic base of mica, field
spar, slate and clay. Professor Dana
says: Nearly all the r"cks. except
limestones and many sandstones, are
literally ore-beds of the metal arumi

Chicago was the scene of one of the
widest riots that has ever disgraced
this country, last Monday night.
Twenty thousand Poles and Bohemians,
with red badges and flags, paraded the
streets and attacked some of the facto-
ries to drive out the sscabs' as they
called the men who were at work. A
dozen or more of the mob were iniur-
ed by the police in endeavoring to re-
store order. In Milwaukee, the same
day, a mob began similar work. On
Tuesday night, at Chicago, a second
riot resulted in the death of five or six
officers and the wounding of about
twenty more. Nearly a hundred of the
socialists were shot. The greatest ex-
element. and indignation followed,
especially because of the fact that the
greatest fatality was caused by a dyna-
mite bomb which was thrown among
the officers by some cowardly hand.
Order was finally restored, and a num-
Der of the incendiary leaders have been
arrested and placed in Jail charged
with murder. They should have the
justice meeted out to them.

Hon. w. E. Coleman, State Super
intendent of Public Schools, was in the
city, Tuesday, and visited the high
school. He lectured in the evening at
H~igginsville, Until recently it was
thought that he would have no oppo-
sition at all for reelection. As it is,
he will be almost unanimously renom-
mated by the democratic state
ton. Mr.. Coleman is not only a
scholar and an educator, but he is an
educator whose professional life has
been passed in the labor and the study
of the public schools of Missouri. Left
to the teachers OF these, of all parties,
he would carry almost every county il
Missouri. Nh. Coleman has served
but n term. He has discharged his
duty with distinguished ability. He
carries as a memento of duties as faith
fully discharged in another field on,
cork leg. Altogether he is such a maj
as those who know him best delight t,
honor.

JUDGE JNO. A. LACY.
From the Sedalia Democrat.

The announcement IS made to-day of
Judge John A. Lacy's candidacy for
the position of circuit Judge Of this
judicial district. His announcement is
followed by a hearty, cordial and COM
plimentary endorsement of the Pettis
county bar. Judge Lacy has been a
resident of this city and county since
1872. Coming here at that time as a
graduate of the University of Virginia,
he completed his legal studies in the
Office Of Messrs. Vest & Philips, one
''the little giant" of Missouri, and the
other without a peer in the state as a
jurist. Judge Lacy remained with
this firm for three years, shortly after
which he was elected probate Judge,
and served the people satisfactorily for
six years, and then retired voluntarily.
Since then he has been successfully
practicing as a lawyer in this and ad-
joining circuits. Other claims can be
set up tor Judge Lacy, apart from his
competency and ability to honor the
bench-Lafayette county has been
honored with a judge and SO has Saline
county, and it would seem now that
Pettis county had some rights which
should not be overlooked by the nomi-
mating convention, especially as she
offers an unobjectionable and most
suitable candidate.

COL. OHILES' RESPONSE.

To Messrs. II. j. Higgins and Others:
Gentlemen:-I found in the columns
OF the lntelligeucer, Of date May LIST, a
call made by you upon me to become
a candidate for the legislature. This
being very numerously signed by men
who are known to he among Lafayette
county's most substantial and worthy
citizens, and whose residences are scat
tered over a large scope of its territory,
would seem to indicate and give me
strong reason to believe that you rep
resent the wishes Of q majority of the
democrats of the county in making this
highly complimentary request.
L will therefore say in reply, that l
accept your call, and will submit nv
name for this position, to the democrats
OF the county at the primary election
to be held on the 5th day of June next.
A continuous residence of over a
quarter of a century in your midst,
should be sufficient to enable every
citizen of the county to judge of my
fitness for the position, and to render
a personal W undesirable and
unnecessary. | therefore submit the
matter to a decision of the people en-
titled to vote at the primary election.
In conclusion allow me to thank YOU,
gentlemen, individually and collective
ly, tor the honor you have done m in
paying me this generous and highly
compliment.

Leaveuworth Standard; -"We do
not believe in treating railroads unfairly,
but at the same time they should not
receive more than they are entitled. 1t
is their arbitrary and discriminating
course that loses for them public SYM
pathy when they may even be right in
a controversy with their employees.
Take the Missouri Pacific railroad and
the Leavenworth Coal Company tor
example. The former virtually shuts
the latter out of the territory covered
by its main line and branches. The
Missouri Pacific company owns coal
mines and its determinations are SO
outrageous that no excuse except greed
can justify it, and it proposes that the
people who are dependent upon it for
transportation shall use its coal. 1t
likes such a rate for competing mines
as to completely shut them out of towns
that have no railroad connection except
by Mr.. Gould's lines. When railroad
kings cease to be hogs the common
people will have more respect for
them"

a careful record of all that is intended to
make life better than 1t is. 1t contains more

"The Intelligencer says no more
about prohibition" The Intelligencer
did say something about prohibition.
1t said that the Post had asked us a
very courteous question which we
should at our earliest leisure reply to,
but that the Post still declined to ex-
press itself frankly upon the subject.
Why? Of what is it afraid ? There is
very little doubt as to what it thinks.
1t is unworthy of our contemporary to
threaten us, We don't care two but
tons for any threshed-over straw. We
have our views as to the regulation of
the liquor traffic, we have expressed
them frequently, fought for them in
one or two municipal contests, and hold
them because we believe they are
right, not because we think they are
expedient, politically or otherwise.
The question is not one to be discussed
with the tricks of the politician, but
frankly and from high ground. We
deny that state prohibition is the best
means of depressing the use of ardent
spirits. Does the Post affirm ? If yes,
then we may argue the matter.

There is a little ill temper being di.

There is a little ill temper being dis
played among some of the candidates ;
not much, just a little. but that little is
too much. Come, gentlemen, be cour-
teous; this is a contest between demo-
Gratis. Every ill-tempered thing you
say is reported to the man against
whom it is directed. Good words
might not travel, but evil ones do; they
always do. Remember that the well
fare of the democratic party is of more
moment than the candidacy of any one
of you, or than all of you, and keep
cool. No man ever loses anything by
being gentle and considerate; many a
man loses, friends and Uotes, by letting
his tongue run away with him. A bit
ter tongue stingeth like an adder, but
it stings the most the mar who pos
sesses it.
