The Doth section of the Bill Of
Rights, under the Constitution of the
State of Missouri, is as follows:
THAT the people have the right
~peaceably to assemble for their com
mon good, and to apply to those in
vested with the powers of government
for redress of.grievances, by petition
or remonstrance."
This right of petition is Democratic
and is recognized so sacredly in this
country that it has been incorporated
into the organic law of nearly all of
our states.
This right, unless followed by re-
spectful action, is useless and barren.
1t belongs to and is needed by the
minority. A majority can and always
will take care of itself, but must give
a respectful consideration to the
rights of the minority.
In view of these fundamental prin-
ciples of right, if elected your Repre-
sentative, and a petition, on any sub
ject, signed by citizens in number
and character emitting it to the
respect of the Legislature, asking q
submission of a question as an
amendment to our State Constitution
to the vote of the people, 1 should
(unless instructed by my people te
the contrary vote for the submission
of such question to the people fol
their decision. B. l.. LOCKE.

Elder Kincaid preached to a large
audience yesterday at II o'clock.
They we're very attentive and were
well pleased with the sermon. In
the afternoon he had a church talk
with the members and did all that
mortal mai could do to bring about
harmony in the church. Quite q
number of the old members quit at
tending because the majority wanted
an organ in the church. Since Ed
kincaid has been here he has beer
working faithfully to get them all to-
| gether as Christians and have them
work together in peace and harmony
He thought he had got them all te
consent for each one to give up a lit
tie.
There vas a meeting at 3 o'clocl
to try and bring about q compromise
Elder Kincaid offered a proposition
which was about as follows: Tha'
the organ should remain and be usee
at the discretion of the officers. Blu
this proposition was voted down, al
those who had left because of tn,
organ voting in the negative. Their
seemed to be no desire Of concession
upon the part of those opposed to tn
organ. A few speeches were mad
but the meeting adjourned withou
any agreement.
Ed. Kincaid preached again a
night to a large audience, and it wa
thought to be one of his ablest et
forts, and seemed to be highly ap
preciated by all present. The meet
Ing closed last night. We regret tina
Elder Kincaid cannot remain with u
longer. He leaves for Mexico in

A CARD FROM MIR. BYRNS.

Messrs. j. R. Torreyson, w T. Henson, and
others:
MExIco, Mo-, June 90, 1885,
GENTLEMEN-In reply to yours of
June %, asking the candidates for
Representative from Audrain county
for their views on the question of
submitting a Prohibition Amendment
to the State Constitution, I have this
reply to make: Regardless of my
personal views on the subject of
Prohibition, I recognize the right of
the people to petition for the OPP
portunity Of amending their Constitu-
ton, and the duty of the Legislature
to give respectful heed to their law
full request. Should I be honored
with the office for which l am a can
didate, it would be my duty, in case
a respectable petition should ask for
it. to vote for the submission of such
an amendment. To announce before,
hand that | would not follow this
course would be to usurp the
rights of the people and to subvert
the provisions of the Constitution
which 1 had sworn to support.
Yours Respectfully,
JAS. L. BYRNs.

Mr.. Geo. w. Osgood has been an
inveterate user of tobacco, to his
harm as he we'll knew; and he tried
frequently to overcome the habit, but
never could master it, although he
knew it was killing him. But about
three months ago, acting on the in
SEPARATION of Il common-sense pointer,
he put away his t~obacco-hox, and
concluded to stimulate with quinine
for an experiment. He took a two
grain quinine pill at noon; the stimu-
lus from quinine is well-known to be
more lasting than that from tobacco,
(and moreover quinine was just what
Mr.. Osgood needed, being a bilious
many SO that he did not feel any de-
sire for tobacco the rest of the day.
The next morning he took another
pill, and determined that he would
not again take a pill till he felt the
return of tobacco appetite. For two
days he had no desire for tobacco!
On the third and fourth days he took
one pill in the morning, and went
three days without any notice of ap'
petite; so he kept on taking q pill
only When he felt the need of some
thing bracing. Soon the once wasted
saliva began to accomplish its wonted
function in his system; his appetite
improved; in two months he wa;
completely over the habit, and for
month has taken neither quinine mol
tobacco, and is not tempted by thu
old power-to-day a free man! HI
has put on from Is to 20 pounds o.
flesh, and is looking fatter ant
healthier than the Patrol man eve.

use these facts in hopes of doing

A Harmonious Party.

The New York Tribune seems to be
exercised about the want of harmony
in the Democratic party. "Turn
where one wilI,' says the great
Blaine organ, ''he discovers a Demo
cratic z a-tlying through the air,
aimed by a Democrat at a Demo
GRAFT"
There certainly have been a few
trihing domestic misunderstanding
in the Democratic family recently.
But Mr.. Randall disposed of them in
a very satisfactory manner last week
when allusion was made to the fact
that his ewing of the party seemed
to have the best of one of these fam
lily jars. ooh, the two wings will be
tapping together in harmony pretty
soon,' was the remark of the ex-
speaker.
Candor compels the confession
that we cannot turn about on our
Republican friends and twit them
| with q lack of accord on some mat
tiers, at least, ut the present. time.
The Republican Senators are found
shoulder to shoulder in entire har-
mony in opposing Mr.. Beck's PROPOSE
ton to prohibit members of Congress
from accepting retainers as attorneys
for wealthy subsidized railroads
which r seeking by every %conceiv-
able device to cheat and rob the
Government after enjoying large
amounts of the peoples money and
enormous grants of the public lands.
The Republican members of Con-
gress, with very trihing exceptions,
are solidly united in favor of allowing
the Pacific Railroads, which have
been for years evading the law, to
make a final settlement with the Gov
eminent which means a clear gain to
them of some SIS 1000, 900 under the
Debt Extension bill.
There is no dissension in the har,
monious Republican party in relation
to its opposition to the just, fair and
statesmanlike proposition to impose
graduated tax on incomes of $4,000
or $4,000 a year and upward to
meet the expenses of increased pen.
sions for Union soldiers and sailors.
The Republican party is as solid as
a rock in favor of unearned subsidies
to favored steamship lines, and Of
every proposition to squander the
public money on jobs of doubtful
constitutionality and undoubted in
expediency.
Touching the matter of Prohibition
Blalne's candidacy, Woman Suffrage
Free Trade and the Sunday law.
there is some lack of harmony in the
Republican party, but it is fair tt
presume that the Tribune will bt
able, as usual, to reconcile all diff
ferences before the campaign of 1885
fairly opens.

No doubt q great amount of dis
ease is engendered by impure water.
Water is an absorbent of impurities,
and the best way to expel them is to
boil the water. This simple process
liberates the noxious gasses and cooks
the animalcula. After cooking the
water a good way to keep it pure is
to put it in glass fruit jars, hermeti-
cally sealed. 1t can thus be reduced
to the proper temperature for drink
ing without the danger of absorbing
other impurities. Pure water, pure
air, wholesome food and a clear con-
science are influences that are deadly
