Work and Whiskey.

The Toledo, Ohio, Blade, truly
says that if the workingmen of
this nation were free from the
appetite for rum three-fourths of
the saloons would have to close
up for want of patronage. Every
man who takes the pains to inves-
tigate can find out the fact that
the saloon-keepers live principally
off the hard earned wages of labor
ing men. When pay day arrives
in any large manufacturing town
the groggeries do their most rush
ing business. The money that
the merchant or laborer should
spend on his family is squandered
on drink and goes to fit up a costly
bar, to dress the saloon-keeper's
wife in silks and satins, to furnish
his table with rich fare; while the
workingman's wife dresses in
calico, his children in shreds and
patches, and their fare is of the
poorest. Heaven alone knows
the misery suffered in that home
which has a drunken son. What
is the reason that the honest, sober
element in the various trades
unions do not direct their energies
to the determination of this ruin
Gus traffic, which draws the bulk
of its sustenance from the very
men they were organized to bene-
fit? Why is not the united
power of these unions directed te
the loosening of the rum powers
hold upon their members, to saving
the young men in their ranks from
falling into the clutches of the
demon? Why do they not unite
against the monster evil of oul
land, which is the greatest enemy
of the working classes?

and many were the remarks among
passengers to the effect that she
did not talk like one bereft of

EDWARD HIbBEE.
The Next Circuit Judge for the 9th
Judicial District.

The republican Judicial Conven-
ton which met in this city last
Wednesday, placed in nomination
Hon. Edward Higbee of Schuyler
Co., as the Republican candidate
for Circuit Judge. AS there is no
democratic candidate against Mr..
Higbee many of the best demo-
Gratis in the district have already
pledged to support him in his race
for the office to which he has been
nominated. Mr.. Higbee has pub
licly assured the people that,
while he is republican that he
will be non partisan on the bench;
| that he has no pets or favorHes !;
no enemies to crush, and that he
wears no mans collar. As to his
ability we need only quote the
words of those who know him
best. The Lancaster Excelsior"
published in the town where Nh.
Higbee resides, and one of the
staunchest Democratic papers in
North Missouri, has this to say of
him:
GAS an ATTORNEY. Mr.. Hipbee's
superior cannot be found in the
state. He is our friend and neigh
Dor, and when we say he is gen.
tleman of fine social qualities, 8
good citizen and an honest man
, and an honor to his chosen profes.
| sion, we only voice the sentiment
of the community in which he
lives and is best and most favor,
y ably known. We are satisfied ht
s would make an able, upright judge
o who would honor the bench as ht
has the bar"
What more can be said by an,
. paper, and this comes from hi
= home paper-a democratic organ a
= that.
= The "Glenwood Criterion" pub
lished in Mr.. Higbee's county ant
: the only other paper published il

In ments coming from those VIII
Is know him best, and seconded b
De hundreds Of democrats in othe

lie good democrats now hasten to NJ
Higbee with assurances of suppor
bo "We have no candidate, M
be Higbee," said a democrat to hi
an after his nomination, ''and we WI
mo- give you host of votes in N
- vember." AS to the Republics
Of vote, Mr.. Higbee will get th
;st solid all over the district and b
al election is assured. The peop
If have become aroused to the il
portance, yea necessity Of a chang
and there is such boom for Hi
ere bee as has never been known for
ent man in this district. No true r
m publican can be found who W

JACOB sHoLLY,

The man who buys power IN
politics can not be safely trusted
out Of sight for single day.
1t is probable that not fifty
districts in the United States
would elect men to Congress who
came out openly as opposed to pro-
lection.
The Hon, William Warner
has resigned the craftsmanship Of
the Republican State Central
committee. He alleges as a rea-
son therefor that he cannot be in
the state for the next two months.
The "Globe Democrat
says: "The Republicans of Miss
ouri should run a straight Repub-
lican candidate for congress in
every district in the State this
year." That is just what will be
done il the First District al
there is every probability that TIE
Republican will be elected.
1t is not probable that the
oleomargarine bill will pass the
Senate. The slick young mer
who were at Washington lobbying
in the interest of pure butter
having gotten an immense sum O
money from the farmers to assis
in passing the bill, have skipped
and left the bill to take care O
itself.
Notwithstanding there wer
numerous celebrations in differer
parts of the county, a large mum
ber came to this place to celebrate
last Saturday. This shows that th
people expect to find superior a
fractions in Kirksville. The bus
ness men of our town should Sc
to it that, the people when comm
here to celebrate are not disaI
pointed. Some justly severe crit
cisms were passed upon Kirksvill
last Saturday.
The iron industry in tn
country and England alike is OF
of the most important interest
and its condition is taken as
measure of prosperity. Since 1Ss
the production of iron in Il
United Kingdom has been stead
ly reduced. The amount for Il
current year being twenty p
cent less that five years ago, viii
the furnaces in the United Stat
the first of June, were producer
more iron than at any previo1
period. To offset the differen

made Morris Sherman think he

bought it for $3.50, about twice
what it was worth, giving his note
payable ole day after death. The
boys thought it a big joke on
Morris that he hadn't noticed the
word "death" instead of date in
the note, and told him of it, ex-
pecting him to beg for his horse,
but instead he began suit, and has

The man who does nothing don't
amount to much in this big world
of ours. Nor does it matter much
whether he is a pauper or mil
lionaire. In either case he is only
a stagnant pool, without either
energy or moral stamina sufficient
to start a ripple in stagnant pool.
Such persons alway infuse an obi
ouf, infectious and communicating
moral miasma over every thing
around them. By all means do
something young man. Don't
stand on the street corners, gap
ing with your hands in your pants
pockets, holes in your knees and
seat of your pantaloons, your coat
out at the elbows, and your boots
run down at the heel. The world
was made for you to work in. =

One day last week, W. E. Jones
a young gentleman Of Linneus
started on his way to Pennsylva-
MIA. Between Milan and this town
he placed his coat in car window
part of it hanging on the outside,
and resting his head on his coat
he fell into a slumber. A large
pocket-book, containg $500, and his
ticket to Chicago, was in a side
pocket of his coat, and the motion
of the train worked it out and it
fell to the ground. When the
train stopped at Unionville, he
missed his wealth, and a sicker
man you never saw. He got off
the train and started out ON foot
to search for the lost treaure. For
tunately, he found the cherished
thing about three miles from town
and the next day he went on his
way rejoicing-Unionville Demo-
crat.
One day last week we were at
Milan where an insane lady was
placed on the the train to be taken
to the asylum at st. Joseph. She
struggled with might and main,
and it required the strength of
four men to place her on board.
She pleaded pitifully to be allow
ed to return to her home and
children, declaring that she was
not insane. She said that she had
made two dresses for one of her
elittle darlings" that day, and pro-
tested that no crazy woman would
do such thing. She calmed down
and looking her husband straight
in the eyes said: you ought to be
ashamed to take me away from
my home and children, when you
know am as sane as you are
you only want to get rid of me-"
