The Pettis county democratic con-
ventiOn, after the circuit judicial CON-
mittee had provided for a primary elec-
ton, when unauthorized to do so by
any legal power whatsoever, elected
delegates to q convention. 1t is now
intended to ask that these delegates be
admitted to the judicial convention. 1t
Is manifestly improper that they should
be admitted. They were not legally
elected. The committee has since then
provided for delegates to be elected.
The contesting candidates were given
no chance before the Pettis county con-
vention, which was held for other ppr-
poses. A new convention may result
in no change; it is possible that it will
reverse the action already had. The
candidates outside of Pettis are un-
doubtedly entitled to q hearing in that
county. They have had one. Is that
far? Let us have a convention the
action of which will be accepted as
final and fair.

James Ellsbury, J. W. Mckinney, w.

surviving members of this company,

In the year of grace 1854, ime were
very hard. Strikes were frequent.
Commercial failures were very much
more numerous than they are now. In
the Hooking Valley SO great was the
misery and discomfort that the republic
can candidate for president had to go
there and speak and make all sorts OF
promises. The congested veins OF COM
merce were promised additional con-
gestlon in more protection. The over
stimulated were promised more slim
illus. Times were very hard; but the
republicans who had been in power for
over twenty years were not to blame;O,
of course not; they are; they are
sweet-smelling rosy-posies who never
err. But now the democrats are in pow
er, though a republican fiscal policy still
prevails. They have been partially
in power just one year and four months,
and because they haven't given every
anarchist and tramp forty acres and a
mule, they are very sadly deficient in
craftsmanship. A republican in our
hearing the other day attributed the
hard times to the election of Cleveland.
We asked him what Cleveland had said
or done to injure business. He was
dumb, of course. Rallying he said:
go, its congress, in it's agitation of the
tariff" The gentleman was hardly
aware that his remark was a ridiculous
ly farsical one. Suppose the DEM
ocrats in the lower house had desired
upon political grounds to pass a law to
hang the gentleman in question. Would
that have alarmed him in the least?
Would he not have known that the
senate was republican, and that it
would not permit a hair of his head to
be- plucked out by its auburn roots?
Does he think the manufacturers of this
country have less sense than be possess
ses that they do not know that their
henchmen are there ready to protect
them? Does he not appreciate that the
country understands this2 We do not
so much blame the republicans for
using this cry. 1t is put into their
mouths by the be~neficiaries of the mi
quitous system which is now riding
the country like an old nan Of the sea.
These manufacturing barons, grown
rich and autocratic on their plumber,
with their hands up to their elbows in
the pockets of the people, blare out,
"Don't agitste this question ;" "you
are killing business" can't you see
your folly; don't agitate!" Pretty
much as a highwayman might do if he
were to put On the appearance of in
jured innocence to the man he was
robbing. There is a deal of hypocrisy
in all this. The effort is, to put the
democratic party on the defensive. Bnt
that can hardly be successfully done SO
long as democratic ideas of revenue
matters remain unfried.

The recent discovery in Welsh caves
of certain flint instruments, which are
considered by the British Association
as proofs that intelligent beings inhab-
tied this planet more than 100000
years ago, has set many people think
ing about the slow development of
civilization. Mr.. Darwin, in his great
book, Descent OF Species" and "Ori-
gin of Man. has treated this subject
so exhaustively that, taking them in
connection with Sir Henry Maine's
book on ancient law," our surprise
should be aroused not so much by the
slowness, as by the rapidity OF human
progress. The last sentences of the
"Origin of Man. express Mr.. Darwin's
qualification at finding himself an in
1diNidual Of the race which, originating
with protoplasm, worked slowly up
ward talrough thousands of centuries,
developing physical functions, mental
and moEai faculties, and gradually
reaching to some apprehension of the
underwriting natural laws which GOV.

they have entered into conspiracy

the cigar manufacturer who brings the

conferred.

Some of the results of the pension
legislation OF recent years are appar-
ent in the annual report Of the Com
missioner OF Pensions for the last fs-
cal year. 1t appears that during that
year, Notwithstanding the number OF
names dropped from the rolls because
OF death and other reasons, there was
a net increase in the number ON the
rolls of more than twenty thousand
names. The annual average value OF
each pension also increased, and the
aggregate annual value OF the pensions
showed an augmentation of between
six and seven million dollars as com.
pared with the preceding fiscal year.
The tendency of recent pension legis-
lation, it will be seen, has been the

nal was given Ross was the first away. but
he led for only the first six strokes,
when Beach passed him and steadily
increased his lead until he was
two lengths ahead. At Waldens Ross
spurted, and when Hammersmith bridge
was reached he drew up on Beach. Sew
eral 5arges got in Beach's water, and he
was compelled to cross Ross bow but he
avoided fouling. The Australian soon
shot ahead again and there were two
lengths of open water between himself and
his opponent when the Doves was reach

The race was procession almost through
