Rays From the Headlight.

Conductors Rand. of the Savanna and
Rogers, of the Sterling, have snapped
runs.
The St. Louis night express, No. 3,
was an hour late this morning.
Engineer Horn, of the Sterling run, is
laid up at home from the effects of an ins
Jury received while playing ball at Den
rock the other day.
The C., b. 81 Q. striking engineers
have posted notices at Beardstown that
they will demand their engines in body
tomorrow. This implies that they are
ready to go back to work; but does the
company want them?
1t is a conundrum TO know what polit-
ical party the striking engineers will sup
port this fall. They denounced the dem.
ocratic party for patroniZing the c., B.
& Q. road in going to St. Louis, and re-
solved TO boycott it at the polls. Now
five special trains alone have passed oyer
the same system from Denver to the re-
publican convention. In order TO be con.
sistent, the engineers will be also com.
PEELED to boycott the republican party.

THE MESSAGE.

Upon the assembling of Congress
Monday afternoon at half past
one o'clock, the annual message of
President Cleveland was delivered
TO that body. In the point of
length, it differs widely from the
short, Ii topic message of last
year, but the old recommendations
Of the President for q wise tariff
reform are reiterated with a new a
wider range of forceful argument
than heretofore. He points with
pride to the remarkable growth of
the manufacturing and mercantile
interests Of the country during the
one century ofour constitutional ex-
istence; but he fears there is u
darker side to this bright picture,
and tie scene is dimmed by u
shadow that almost amounts to Il
pail. The President rejoices that
the bright side to this picture yet
remains, but he regretfully calls
attention to the widening gap be-
tween the employed and the en-
ployer. After treating the great
tariff question at more length and
with a better line of reason than
ever before, he branches out in
clear language and handles carefully
each ofthe important questions of
State. The straightforward state
ment of the Sackville-We episode
by the President is very much TO
be admired, and it is with par
donable pride that Mr.. Cleveland
speaks of the International pro-
Ijeets now in contemplation and
under way.
President Cleveland's message is
just what vas expected ofthe man:
He takes back nothing he only re-
iterates, with more force than ever,
his iron policy OF tariff reform.
The document as a whole is clear
and concise, ~forceful and energetic.
Like all of his public papers, it ssls
interesting reading matter.

Major John F. Rucker, of this
county, will be urged as d candi-
date for warden of the penitentiary.
He is a successful business man, a
true Democrat, and would make a
faithful and acceptable official. In
his appointment, Gov. Francis
would gracefully recognize the pig
majority given HIM by the banner

The people of Randolph county
know Major Rucker, Of Sturgeon,
we'll. They know him to be a
sober and upright business man,
and q man that would bring great
strength TO the administration, as
he is well qualified to fill that
which he seeks. He is fitted for
the place, and as the two papers
of his county say, he would
save money for the State by know
ing how to do the purchasing; he
would be a safe and prudent man
for the position. Randolph, with
the entire Sixth judicial district,
Will endorse him. This is the dis
trict that gave Francis half of his
p~lurality.-Moberly Monitor.
