The Missouri Express Robbery,

st. Louis, Oct. N-Ihere are no new
developments in the Adams express rob.
berry at this writing. Fotheringham was
seen at the compapy's office this morn
ing by q reporer, to whom he told the
story of the robbery. He made his
statement in q frank, straightforward
manner, without the slightest HUT oil
embarrassment or confusion. He said
he was we'll aware that the cileumstan-
cial evidence pointed strongly to his
being on accessory to the robbery, but
he had nothing to conceal and was con-
ident the result of the investigation
would clear him of all suspicion. The
only point In the messengers statement
not given out yesterday is that the
robber told Fotheringham he had an 40.
complete upon the train who, if he (the
robber) was unable to carry out his
plans unaided would come to his assist.

Fotheringham, IN relating in detail.

said: "Before he left he said TO me,

The opinion is gaining strength that the
robbery was q bona fide affair, and that
the messenger was in no way accessory
to it.

The Governor or Washington Terri

aa tOEys ~fHE
Washington, Oct. 26--Gov. Watson @.
Squire, Of Washington territory, has
submitted his annual report to the
secretary of the interior. The report is
q long and interesting paper containing
the statement that that part of the
country has developed many
sources of wealth, but which
remains comparatively unsettled, aa the
farming lands, thousands Of acres OF fine
timber, coal and iron mines and fisheries
that promise TO add q great deal Of
wealth to the northwest are undevei-
oped. a considerable part OF the
report is devoted to the out
break against the Chinese last Feb
ruary ard his efforts to protect them in
their treaty rights. He says citizens IN
several large towns are inclined to be
lenient toward those who are hostile to
the Chinese, and it is difficult to secure
the conviction OF the offenders. This
feeling has been aggravated by the fact
that a number of Chinese GROSS the
border from British Columbia in def
ance OF law, and that the government
has been uHable, with the limited GUS
toms force, to expeT them. The undesir-
ability OF Chinese as residents in large
numbers is admitted, the governor
holding the opinion that the territory
should be settled by people who will
uphold American traditions and instita-
tions.

The revolt against the saloon in
this country has come largely from
the insolence of the saloon in politics.
The rif1-raf' of ignorance and sensu.
atty in our large cities have been
wholly eat the diaposal of the dram
sellers, and demagogues have gone
to them to purchase the drunken
vote. This thing went on till the
subserviency of the demagogue and
the insolence of the d-amseller be
came unsufferable. It. necessarily
led to degree of corruption in mu.
nicipal government so great that no,
body expected any honesty in its
management. The dramshop has
established its reputation as a sneak
ing and mschievous intermeddler in
the affairs of civil government; as
the rendezvous of conspirators to
hribe, and steal, and corrupt the bal.
lot box. and perpetuate every sort
of political devilment. That is one
of the principal reasons why the
people say that the dramshop has
got to go.

est article that can be produced from
malt. The electric climate of America
and the Hlllanious compounds which
constitute its beverages fill the blood
with fire and convert beer gardens and
saloons into pandamonia, but the Ger
man is welded to his fadderland GUS
toms, and the strong headed money
getting old Germans have millions in
vested in beer; while our native and
other foreign natiOna tiles have other
millions invested in the products of
the still, and the saloon as market
for their goods. This is the formidable
and sagacioIs power which carefully
adjusts a counterp,ise between the
old political parties, wherever lis inter-
ct IL likely to be menaced.
The moment either Of the old parties,
as party takes ground against the sa-
loon that moment the entire vote of
the whiskev and be power will be
shifted to the opposing party which
will result in a sweeping victory
fer the side it espOuses THIS would at
once break the defeated party up for
with strong and thoroughly we'll or
ganized Prohibition party in the
country, the Temperance men of the
defe ted party would stampede to it en-
mass.
This is the plan of the Prohibition
party. The whiskey party are too
wise to allow this plan to succeed if
they can avoid it, and so long as the
old parties do not play them utterly
false, so long will they strive to keep
both as nearly balanced as possible.
They may pass state prohibition laws
and local option, high lice:.ee laws and
any manner Of restriction laws which
temperance men can devise, but as long
as secret understanding can be had
with the managing politicians not to
enforce these laws. so long will the
whiskev power maintain the balance
of power between them. There was
evidence enough that this fact is clear
" comprehended by the "thick and
thin" politicians from the voicings of
the two papers of that warp and
woof in this county during the recent
campaign. and while the 'thick and
thin" of the old parties maintain the
rower thew are in possession of to run
their parties. so long will they oppose
every possible obstacle to defeat the
will of the people in the enforcement
of prohibition laws. The thorough
going politician and the saloon are
fast friends.
