THE ADMINISTRATION EXCITED.

The recent letter of the British
Minister, written to a naturalized
Englishman in California, advis-
ing him to vote the Democratic
ticket and use his influence to get
other naturalized Englishmen to
do the same, because it would help
the mother country is causing
wide spread CONSERVATION in the
Democratic party. When the let
ter was first published Bayard,
Thurman and Brice all said it was
a private letter of which no notice
could be taken. But when tele-
gram was sent to Mr.. Cleveland
informing him that the Irish vote
was slipping away from him be-
cause of the letter, he became fu-
rious and demanded the Ministers S
recall.
Mr.. West has been for many
years the Minister to this country
and England has him here to look
after England's interests, and it is
not surprising that, finding the
present administration SO friendly
to his country he should feel il
his duty to influence naturalized
Englishmen to aid in keeping the
Democratic party i'll power.
In earlier years Minister from
any country to the United States,
for a like offence, would have been
given his passports at once, and
| the fact that for several days the
administration paid no attention
to the letter, and claimed that il
had no right to do SO. proves con-
cIusively that the Presidents moi
angry because the British minis.
ter was working for the Democra.
tic party, but because he permit,
ted himself to be caught at it.

Germany was more nearly an alb
solute free trade country than
England is to-day. The indus
tries of Germany w:re paralyzed,
and her thousands of laborers we're
begging for employment that
could not be obtained. II
was then that the sagacious Bis
marck pointed 10 our country and
said: "The prosperity of Ameri-
ca is due to her protective tariff;
it is time we had learned a lesson
from that country" The sugges-
ton of Bismarck was acted upon
and Germany enacted a high pro-
tective tariff law. Since then,
though less than ten years have
elapsed, there has been a wonder
full expansion of Germany's indus
tries, and wages for labor have in,
creased % to so per cent, while in
England wages in the same length
of time have decreased more thar
10 per cent. So satisfactory has
been the protective tariff in Ger
man that Bismarck has said: $50
long as we keep our protective
tariff, we need fear no one but ou1
God"

The Stock Law.

AS the proposition to vote on
the general stock law, will be sub
mitted to the voters of Adair ooun-
ty Nov. 9th, Iwould like to sub
NIT my views to the public, in the
columns of the GRAPHIC. [ would
suggest the thought that out of
364,7 acres of land in Adair
county something near 100000
acres lie west of the Wabash K.
r. and near l25,000 of the 100000
acres are unfenced, all of which
afford good grazing. A large per
cent of the 125,O00 acres is owned
by spectators and nonresidents,
who, Justly, should contribute to
the present resident, at least, the
extent of the grazing Of said non
resident land while it remains un-
fenced. In the event of the pas
sage OF the stock law, thousands
Of acres of the land referred to
would grow up in underbrush,
and become a perfect wilderness.
But aside flom this view of the
subject why cripple one of the
best interests of the county SO
largely, byadopting the stock law;
when but comparative few would
be benefited. [ here venture the
prediction that out of 20, 1000 head
of cattle low in Adair county in
Is months from the adoption of a
general stock law we would not
have to exceed 15, 900 head. Accor-
ding to the assessed valuation Of
our cattle, the wealth of our coun-
ty would be reduced 100000 OF
more, and all business interests
crippled to that extent. Now it
occurs to my mind that people
living On the prairie would not be
materially benefited or injured by
the passage of such a law, and if
they would act justly toward their
neigbbors they would remain neu-
trail, Or vote to benefit a large ma
jority of them, and this would GER
tain,y be to vote against such a
law In my school district there
are between six and seven hun
dred head of cattle. BY personal
inquiry of the owners of said cat
tie am forced to conclude that a
general stock law would reduce
that number at least 60 per cent.
yet we find persons living in this
tlmbered country, the owners of a
few COWS, land imagine them
selves aggrieved by their neigh
hors stock who will vote for the
stock law, not realizing that with
slch law they would have to
build much better fences than
they now have to hold their own
sock. A SUBSCRIBER.

Sheriff Kinnear captured Jim
Kent, in Charlton county. Kent

The sheriff got track of him Fri

the sheriff disarmed him
while he was asleep and then

Thirty Miles Disappear.

Thirty miles Of country is a big
thing to disappear, but this dis
tance has been dropped out be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago
How it happened is thus figured
out. The Chicago, Santa Fe & Cal
ifornia Railway is completed be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago,
and the distance between the two
cities is only 45S miles measuring
from Union Depot. Kansas City,
to Dearborn Station, Chicago.
This is exactly thirty miles less
than by any of the old lines, SO
you have.to travel thirty miles less,
your freight has to be hauled thir-
ty miles less, and practically the
Santa Fe has made thirty miles
disappear. A few years at this rate
and Kansas will be in New Eng
land.

yestibule Trains to Chicago.

The Vestibule train is new
factor in western railroad trans
portation. 1t is claimed for these
trains that on account of their be-
ing connected by steel hoods all
danger of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train
being practically one long car. 1t
is certain that the oscillation of
the cars is greatly reduced, and it
is also certain that the vestibule
trains afford the greatest comfort
yet known to travellers. The adop-
ton of this style of train by the
Chicago, Santa Fe & California
railway between Kansas City and
Chicago is strong bid for the
passenger traffic between the West
and Chicago. This new road is in
many particulars ahead of any OF
its older competitors, and will un-
doubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago.

UNANSWER

Thursday of last week the streets
were flooded with dodgers an
nouncing that w. D, Oldham
would reply to Mr.. Filley at Ma
sonic Hall that evening. Curiosity
called large crowd thither to
hear Mr.. Oldham's arguments, as
he was considered by his party
the only democrat IN North Mis-
siouri able to meet Mr.. Filley on
the stump.
He began by stating that tariff
is a robbery which originated on
the southern coast of Spain and
had spread Throughout Europe and
thence to the United States.
The speaker stated that Wash
ington, Jefferson, Jackson, Cal
houn and others had sanctioned
this robbery, to a greater or less
extent.
He then paid a glowing tribute
to Jeff Davis and lauded the old re-
publican party, which he thought
was composed of honest men, and
seemed anxious to talk of every
thing else but Mr.. Filley's argu-
ments.
But he had been advertised to
reply to Mr.. Filley aid had to say
something about that gentlem an,
so he took up what the Globe
Democrat and Kirksville Journal
had said of Mr.. Filley in the days
long past, and declared that if
they were not true, he would vote
for FilleY instead of Francis, for
getting that Mr.. Filley is not a
candidate for any Office.
This harangue closed the speech
and the audience adjourned. How
ever there was one universal
comment on Mr.. Oldham's failure
to SO much as refer to Mr.. Fill
ley's arguments. The only expla-
nation is that even the giant intel,
lect of Mr.. Oldham dare not grap-
pie with such unanswerable argu-
ments, as it could only have re-
suited in a disaster, which the
Democratic party dare not court
at this stage of the campaign.
