WHAT Il Means.
From me Columbia Herald

Tho election Of Dayid r. Francis
means progress. It means imni-
grafton, the influx Of manufactor-
les, the building of railroads, the
busy hum Of workshops, the
development of mines and an in
crease of s5 and $40 and $40 an acre
of our lands. It means a transit
ton from the political clap-trap
and effete methods of the past, to
the commercial energy and busi-
ness thought Of the present.
Itmeans the infusion Of new life
and spirit, and thatthe magnificent
resources of Missouri will no longer
be passed by for the barren prairies
and waterless plains of Kansas and
TEXAS and Colorado. Itmeans for
Missouri what within three years
has done for st. Louis-an adver-
tisement of us abroad, a magnif-
cent system of internal improve
ments, a reduction of interest on
our state debt and the restraint of
the encroaehments of corporate
power.
Why are the railroad lobbiests,
the vultures ofmonopoly the polit-
ical strikers and bummers and para
sites fighting him from one end Of
the State to the other2 Why is
money being spent like water, all
other candidates have combined
against him and a most bitter, un-
scrupulous and desperate war is
being made upon him2 1t is be-
cause his election mean triumph of
the people, a rebuke to bummerism
and money greed, and a substitu-
ton of industrial growth for stag
nation.
This is the meaning of the Fran
els boom which has caught like a
prairie fire from one end of the
State to the other and which no
power inside the Democratic party
or out oft can stay.

'Ele Girls One Chance.

The right Of young ladies to pro-

1t owes its origin to an act Of the
Scotch Parliament in the year 1885,
1t was then ordained that during the
reign Of Margaret of Scotland, "every
maiden lady, .! both high and low de-
gree SHALL have liberty to speak TO the
man she likes. II he refuses to take
her to be his wife, he shall be mulct in
the sum Of .GlOo or less, as his estate

make it appear that he is betrotheI to
another woman, ther he shall be free. )"
Fha cXIstancc Of this privilege, with
