WHY WE DO NOT SUCCEED BETTER.

A close inquiry among our gro.
Gerry and provision men reveals
the he'astonishing fact that more than
forty thousand dollars are sent ou1
of Kirksyille each year for bacon
and pork. For several weeks the
stock pens of our shippers have
been crowded with fine porkers,
which were shipped to st. Louis
and Chicago. five thousand dellars
often being paid out in one day
for hogs, at this point alone. The
price has gradually risen from
three to four dollars per hundred,
and now, that the bulk of the hogs
have been marketed, the market
will probably go higher than it
is now. 1t is all right for a COM
munity to send away from homo for
that which is not produced by that
community, but when town like
Kirksville sends forty thousand
dollars to distant points for that
which is the chief source of reve-
nue. to the surrounding country, as
is the case with meats. If looks to
us, to say the least, like bad man
agement. If farmer, whose chief
crop is corn, where to send to
Kansas or Nebraska year after year
for the bulk of corn he used, it
would only be question of time
that, that farmer would become
bankrupt. As it is with the indi-
yidual SO it is with community.
Let a community send away from
home year after year for that
which is its chief production,
would it be strange if bankruptcy
comes upon its people. But you
ask, how is this to be remedied? ?
We answer, pack the hogs at home,
right here IN Kirksville. The
meats furnished the trade at this
point alone would yield hand
some income to two or three indi-
viduals with capital and enter
prise enough to engage in the
business. It would save to the
community the exhorbitant |
freights both ways, the profits for
slaughtering and packing, and the
increased value which is invari-
ably put upon the meat as soon as
the crop is marketed. Tt has been
argued that sale could not be
found for the bones, spare ribs, DC.
This may have been true, to a GER
tain extent, in the past, but our
timber men would now take large
part of this product, beside our
mines in the western part Of the
county are being rapidly develop
id. and the forces employed are
being continually increased. There
would now be little difficulty in
of the bones at fair
profit. If our prospective railroads
should be built. and there
seems to be not the slightest
loubt that they will, the Increase
n the number of consumers, would
make this part of the business one
If great Importance.
Little expense need be incurred
n the preparation for this bust
less. There are now two or three
in Kirksville that would
answer every purpose. The only
hings required are considerable
duck ard a little capital.

Hoar's Answer to Plumb.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. % The senate
Tuesday passed the bill appropriating $3.50
900 for a monument to Gen. Grant in this
city. Plumb opposed the bill on the grounds
that Grant was already enshrined in the
hearts of the people; that it would be be
better to divide the $3.50, 900 among the wild
ows and children of soldiers of the civil
war, etc
This last suggestion reminded Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, who is deeply versad in Bibli-
cal lore, that an equally utilitarian suggcs-
ton was once made regarding soma valuable
ointment poured out on the feet of Jesus
Christ Senator Hoar was too polite to re-
peat all the details of the Biblical incident
he alluded to, but people who have not been
too long out of Sunday-school will remem-
Der that it was Judas Is ariot who protested
against wasting the valuable mguent. in
honoring the Lord when the value Of it
might have been given to the poor and
Holy Writ proceeds to explain that Judas
made his objection not because he really
cared anything about the poor,
but because he was the disbursing officer
and improved his opportunities in the style
of a modern bank cashier.

MATTERS WORTH NOTING.
COMPLETION OF THE SECOND VOL
uME OF BLAlNE's BOOK.

Felictious Review OF Past Events and Pres
ont Prospects-A Compliment to Mrs.
Hendricks-Marriage of the Electric
WIzard-Ohio Labor Legislation.
NEW YORK, Jan 25-The second and
concluding volume of Blaine's "Twenty
Years of Congress has been published 1t
embraces the period between Johnson's in
stallation as president and Garfield's cleo
ton The earlier chapters are occupied
mainly with the reconstruction problem, the
contest between the president and congress,
and the impeachment trial Grants eight
years administration are discussed in
generous and catholic spirit, and the closing
chapters deal with current questions Of
political discussion. In closing, Blaine
says:
The national government has in these
twenty years proved its strength in war, its
conservatism in peace The self-restraint
which citizens Of the republic exhibited in
the hour Of need, the great burdens which
they bore under the inspiration of public
duty, the public order which they main
tanned by their instructive obedience to the
command of law, all attest the good govern
ment Of self governing people. Full liberty tc
criticise the acts Of persons in official station
free agitation Of all political questions, fire.
qusnt elections, that give opportunity for
prompt settlement of all issues, tend to in
sure popular content and public safety. No
government of modern times has encountered
tine dangers that have beset the
United States, or achieved the
triumphs wherewith tine nation is crowned
The assassination of two presidents, one in
augurated at the beginning, the other at the
close OF this period, while the cause of pro-
found national grief, reiects no dishonor
upon popular government Neither crime
had its origin in the political institutions or
its growth in the social organization of the
country. Both crimes received the execra-
ton of all parties and all sections In the
universal horror which the inspired, in the
majestic supremacy of law which they
failed to disturb, may be read the strongest
proof of the stability OF a government
which is founded upon right, fortified by
the intelligence in wrought with the virtues
of the people"

MORGAN'S RESOLUTION.
THE ALABAMA SENATOR MAKES AN
EXPLANATION OF

His Purposes in Going 1t Alone Against
the Edmunds' Resolution-why Hewitt
Objects to Blorrison's Anti-surptus
Proposition-Proceedi In Congress.
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. Ex-senator
Morgan offered his resolutions on the
issue between the president and tie senate
on his own responsibility. The senator, in
conversation Wednesday, said: Tho senate
of the United States occupies two separate
and distinct positions 1t advises and con-
sents to nominations and exercises co-or-
dinate powers of legislation with the presi-
dent. being able to override his veto by the
necessary majority. 1t is also the court to
try cases of impeachment when articles
of impeachment have been filed by
the house 1t can not originate
such proceedings. 1t can only act as judge
of the facts and determine what sentence
shall be passsd The resolutions offered by
Edmunds declare that the senate expresses
its condemnation Of the attorney general,
and that his action has been subversive Of
the fundamental principles Of the govern
ment So, in advance OF all proceedings of
impeachment, the senate condemns the at
torney general and prejudices his case be-
cause if his action had been subversive Of the
fundamental principles Of the government he
might be liable to impeachment. If he has
not been SO guilty, has he been guilty OF
contempt to the senate! If so, let the SEN
ate proceed in the regular manner and send
its sergeant arms out after him and com
nit him for contempt, and it would see, as
in the case of Hallett Kilbourne, how long
he would be held And il the attorney gen
eral has not been guilty Of an impeachable
offense and can not be committed for con-
tempt, what thenl hold that the resolu'
lions presented by Edmunds were
out of order and had no business
to be received. | was not in
my seat when they were Offered, but had
/ been l should have made that point Al
no senator seemed to take that view, pre-
sented these resolutions so as to bring it be-
fore the attention of the senate With thi:
view ask that the resolutions be sent to
the committee on privileges and elections,
so that it might be exactly determined what
are the privileges of the senate and if it can
act as common scold and abuse ant
annoy coordinate branch of the govern
ment"

HEWlTT'S OBJECTIONS
To the Proposal to Limit the Surplus to
100000, 900.


WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 5 -When Nor
rison presented his joint resolution, to limit
the treasury surplus, in the house Tuesday
Hewitt of New York submitted minority
report. After arguing that such
maximum surplus would be imprudent and
generally poor business and referring to
the fact that Secretary Sherman kept 40 per
cent of the greenhack volume as reserve
while Morrison's proposition reduces the per
cent 10 %, the report says:
IF this ratio should be adopted the
amount Of the referve in coin would be
$1SS, COCOA Adding this amount to the
amount heretofore stated as a reasonable
working balance We have the sum of Sl6S,
o0U, 900 as the minimum balance which the
treasury should carry in order to be in a
condition Of ease and safety; any other con-
cluslon is at variance with the lessons Of ex-
perence and the well established rules for
the safe conduct of business The main
argument urged for infringing on this bal
ance must be the saving of interest on $685.
0O0, 900, which. after allowing for the tax on
bank circulations, is "a per cent
per annum, amounting Ia sl,7000)O
annually. But it is to be remembered
tDHL buo ueiuhIl ucpt u tuo tHltcN
States represented by the legal tender
notes bears no interest, and that the gain in
interest between the total amount and a
proper reserve Is over a, 00O, 600 per annum,
80 that disagreement could well afford
the outlay required to keep its finances in
the strongest possible condition, and should
certainly never approach the point where,
under the law, it may be necessary to sell
United States bonds in order to preserve
specie payments"
The report advances as another argument
against the reduction Of the reserve the OBJ
vious ability of spectators, in that event,
to manipulate the money market, impair
| confidence, and precipitate disaster by re-
| ducing the treasury balance below $l0O, 900,

Nelson II. Baker, District Attorney,
Westminster Co., N. Y office at White
Plains, writes June 20. 1885; Five years
ago l. my two sons and wife were very
liable to colds. We wore the heaviest
clothing wrapping ourselves up warm:
but 1t was colds. coughs and caiarrh all
the time Finally we commenced wear
ing Allcock's Porous tPlasters as chest
protectors. The first year we got rid of
our heavy flannel as well as all coughs
and colds. We each wore two plasters
on the chest and pit of the stomach for
three or four weeks at q time, then wash>
ed the parts with alcohol and put on
fresh ones; they appeared to warm and
invigorate the whole body so that we
never took cold"

easy, Blair said, to criticise, but that was
not the way to remedy great
evil He dwelt at some length on the bene-
fits to come, not only to the south, but to
the entire country, from the removal OF
illiteracy in the south. Among those to
come to the south he included an increased
immigration and consequent increased
activity and prosperity, among those to
come to the country at large: an increased
homogeneity among the people, and ccnse-
quently greater national harmony and good
will
Payson of Illinois, from the committee on
public lands, reported in the house the
senate bill to quiet the title of settlers of the
Des Moines river lands in Iowa. Payson
stated that there were 10000 acres in
volved in the bill BY misconstruction Of
the granting act the state OF Iowa
had sold certain lands to which
it was not entitled and had granted
certain other lands to the Des Moines Rail
road & Navigation company. This state of
affairs had given rise to much litigation, and
the purpose of the bill was simply to allow
parties who had made presumption and
homestead filings on these lands to have
standing in the codrts and have the question
judicially determined as to whether the
land was public land After lively debate
the bill was passed.
Stone OF Missouri reported from the COM
mittee on public lands a bill forfeiting GER
Railroad company.
The house passed the bill to annex the
northern part of the territory of Idaho to
Washington territory. Then on behalf of
the committee on railways and canals,
Murphy Of Iowa called up and the house
proceeded to consider in committee OF the
whole the Hennepin canal bill
Murphy urged favorable consideration OF
the measure on the ground that it would re-
suit in cheap transportation, and In illustra-
ton OF his position said that wheat raised
in the six western states in the neighborhood
Of the proposed canal could be transported
to the seaboard at a saving Of cents per
bushel If the government Of the United
States would do its duty and construct
this canal the people of the northwest
could save 50 per cent over the present
rate of transportation and save enough in
one year to build the canal two or three
times over The United States had formid-
able competitors in the LIVERPOOL market,
and If the rates Of transportation were not
reduced it would soon find itself without
that market
Pending the conclusion Of Murphy S
speech the morning hour expired and the
committee rose and an attempt was made to
set a day for the commencement of the dis
| cussion on the bill for free coinage of silver.
Dougherty Of Florida objected, however
and the house went into committee on the
half gallon bill, and Butterworth spoke

Donald, attorney for the Central Pacific

"wednesday, and expressed their views at
length upon the general subject Of
the indebtedness of the Pacific rail

the present management of the Un-

fulfil the compauy's obligation to the gov
eminent in good faith, and the road was
not manipulated for speculative purposes
A large proportion Of the stock, he said, was
held by trust companies, estates and wild
ows The unaided branch lines constituted
the main source Of revenue, and without

WHISKY POOL GONE TO SMASH.
The Western Export Association Kicks
the Bucket.

PEORIA, Ills, Feb. PA stormy meeting
Of the Western Export association was held
ut the National hotel Wednesday Edward
Spelman, of the Enterprise distillery Of
Pekin, held aloof William N Hobart
md Louis Green, of Cincinnati; William
Rhodes, of Hamilton, Ohio; P. H. Hennes-
Soy and Jonathan Abel, of Chicago, were
constituted a committee to conciliate him.
The pool owes Westerman, of the Crown
distillery, of Pekln, ga, 900 for closed capac-
ity, and claimed 5000 from Spslman for
production. Spelman refused to pay
and demanded that the pool take his $50
gallons day at the market price, 81. 1919 a
gallon The committee reported, and John
Wilson, Of the Hamburg distillery, Pekin,
moved to dissolve the pool rather than sub
nit Walter Rarker of the Star distillery,
Peoria, seconded the motion
Finally 1t was agreed to accept Spelman' 8
offer, provided he would turn out alcohol in
stead Of spirits. The committee waited on
Spelman again. He refused the offer, and
the motion to dissolve prevailed. This fin
ishes the Western Export association, but a
scheme is proposed for forming new pool
with Spelmau's house excluded
