The pan-electric investigation has
after all panned out very poorly.
Chairman Boyle's generating report
to the honse is merely repetition OF
the opinion fthe pan-electric lawyers,
and if by this time the president does
not realize that Mr.. Garland's useful
ness as memLer of his adminlstra-
ton has long ago ceased, and that the
further carrying of him is a political
disadvantage, then it is because be
looks upon Mr.. Garland as merely un-
fortunate, and does not look results
squarely in the face. There is very
little doubt, however, concerning the
opinion of the whole country, and the
advisability of RELOCATING the gentle

The Democrats methods are max.
ing themselves understood all over
the state and certainly to its discredit,
and it is the opinion of the best jour
mails of the country that whenever the
Democrat champions man there is q
reason for IT if of a personal nature,
and when it accuses other journals il
is merely doing as the boy who wins.
ties while going through a graveyard.
The Boonville Topic in referring to
the affidavit of John ID. Russell, has
exactly the same opinion of the whole
business as has all respectable journals,
contempt-absolute and unchanging.
1t says:
"Read the affidavit of John ID.
Russell in this issue ON the character
of John T. Heard. Mr.. Russell has
since been appointed postmaster al
Sedalia through the influence, efforts
and recommendation of Mr.. Heard.
What Mr.. Russell made affidavit te
was either true or false. Iftrue John
T. Heard is not fit to represent the
Sixth district in congress; if false
then Mr.. Russell perjured himself and
Mr.. Heard has been guilty of a gros
imposition of the people and insult tc
their honesty and integrity in appoint
ing such a man to such trust as
representative Missourian. Now read
ers, which will you believe; which
horn of the dilemma viii you take
hold of; will you risk your chances o.

suredly will fail by either. Which

scarcely imagine the time when Lex
and Davis may be criticised and tn.
wisdom of going to war either in he
half of slavery, or the right of seces
sion be boldly challenged. So in the
North, there are comparatively few
who can look forward to the possible
day when, after the heat of wrath has
gone and the calmer philosophic mind
has come, present judgment of both
men and events will be modified.
Yet within the last forty years the
world has seen almost as remarkable
change in feeling abroad. 1t was be-
yond the range of human vision to
see at the close of Waterloo anything
but perpetual feud between the
French and English. Forty years
afterward, however, a Napoleon was
an honored guest Of Queen Victoria !;
English and French were fighting to-
gether in the Crirnea treaty of re-
ciprocity was in operation, while the
French themselves had begun that
epoch of criticising and assailing the
career of Napolean l.. which has
ended IN an almost unanimous verdict
against him.
Another example of this change of
opinion is afforded by the recent
dedication of monument to Daniel
Webster. Less than forty years ago
his brilliant career was eclipsed in his
condemnation by his party and by all
the anti-slavery portion of the north,
for what was termed his surrender to
the slave power in his famous 9TH of
March speech. Peoples opinions of
that speech were made the test of
their earnestness in opposition to
slavery. Yet We find DIR. Bartlett,
president of Dartmouth College, and
the orator at Concord the other day.
the famous speech as an
inevitable outgrowth of Webster's
great mind that is to say, it was the
result of his keen foresight, and his |
to realize the horrors of dis
union, denied TO so many others of his |
His whole past career
brought him to where he stood that
day." To have been more defiant to-
ward the south, as the north wished
he had been, would have defeated his
whole aim and precipitated the con-
hict which he was anxious TO avert.
Peacefully secession, he said, was an
utter impossibility. Disruption must
produce war, and such a war as he
would not describe, and his dreadful
was fulfilled.
The orator called attention to the
similar position which Lincoln held,
introducing into congress only three
years before Webster's speech fugi-
tive slave law for the District of Col
umbia, and in the very midst Of civil
war declaring that his first object was
to save the union, and that if it could |
be done without freeing the slaves he
would do it; or by freeing some and
leaving others alone he would do it.
Yet owing to different circumstances,
not to a difference in their views, LIN
coin is canonized and Webster con-
demned.
Cooler and calmer judgments like
this are certain, as the years go by, to
fnd ptterance.

probably end in the latter and yet it
is hard to say which party should be

can get and yet it is impossible for

The Drought.

ST. LOUIS. July 1s.-Dispatches from
Indian Territory Say drought still con-
tinues over nearly the whole of the
Territory. The range is rapidly being
ruined and prairie fires are already
burning in every direction. Murrain
has broken out among cattle in several
localities and many are dying. Unless
they have rain soon. n regular epidemic
among tue stock is feared.
A dispatch from Topeka says:
The present drought in Kansas
is the severest known since 1873.
Unless rain falls during the coming
week, the corn prospect will be ruined.
Corn S just beginning to tassel and in a
condition where rain is most needed.
The last general rain was in the latter
part of June. Since then the weather
has been intensely hot. There have
been local showers, but not enough to
be Of any service. The oats and wheat
harvests have exceeded the estimates Of
the State Board of Agriculture, but
from the present outlook the corn crop
will be greatly reduced.
