His Last Hope Gone.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April 3.-News
was received from Washington at
4:30 p. m. yesterday that the mo-
ton for a rehearing in the case of
Hugh M. Brooks, alias Maxwell,
has been denied. This is the last
step in the case, and Maxwell will
now hang, unless the Governor in
t~erferes. This legal step although
taken by Maxwell's lawyer was not
much relied upon by them, and
they had little hope of its success.
The news reached the Jail about 5
p. M, and soon Preller's murderer
knew the fact hat his legal fight
was over. He received the news
quietly, as he had, like his coun-
sci, little hope that the Supreme
Court would interfere.

Mr.. Francis was at Fulton yes

young st. Louis Mayor.

SENATOR INGALLS, really "has it
bad." His declaration that if the
Democrats "keep going on for the
next ten years as they have for
the last it will be impossible to tell
which side prevailed in the late
contest is the most grotesquely
absurd flop yet given to the en-
sanguined undergarment. Those
who supposed that the preserva-
ton of the Union was the primary
object of the war, and the aboli-
ton of slavery an unavoidable and
blessed incident of the struggle,
have a feeling that there is not and
will never be any question as to
(which side prevailed" Has Nh.

From the ST. Louis Spectator.
The formation of the Southwest
ern immigration Association at
Springfield the other day was a
step in the right direction. 1t has
long been a stigma upon the State
that of the vast stream of immigra-
ton flowing from the East to the
West, Missouri caught but a few
insignificant off-shoots. Why
Simply because nc proper effort
was made to divert the fertile, in
MIGRATING stream to our meadows.
The State was not properly adver-
tised, it did not assume the posi-
ton in the society of States which
rightly belonged to it. Every one
has seen the wealthy citizen, who,
although with abundant income and
without a serious blemish in his
life, has nevertheless failed to give
an entry to the stellar walks Of
society. Missouri has been in that
position. Denominated "the rob.
Der State" and called "poor old
Missouri" it has been ostracized
for years because no one would
champion its cause. No n had
the pluck, the energy, the brains,
or the sense to see that the State
was suffering from a furnished rep
utation and not from any sins OF
its own commission.
The blot in the escutcheon is
being wiped off. Governor Mar
maduke commenced the operation,
the next governor of Missouri
must completeit it. I believe, there
fore, that the coming election will
be the turning point in the history
of Missouri and incidentally ofthe
city of st. Louis. 1t is no refec-
ton upon the other distinguished
candidates for the governorship,
to say that it is my honest convic-
ton D. R. Francis could do more
as governor of Missouri, to estab-
fish this State in a lofty position
than any one man before the pub
lie.
His election would be a gain OF
ten years growth to the State.
His election would mean a wise,
honest, aggressive, liberal, wide
awake administration, and the
Inauguration of a popular, energetic
and statesman-like policy.
His election would mean the en-,
enlargement of immigration and
the building up of the State; the
development of all the resources
of the State and the proper pub.
lication to the world of the facts
thereto related.

Propositions About The Surplus.

Propositions About The Surplus.
From the New York Herald.
If there is anything left after the
rivers and harbors and public build
ings are securely provided for,
here is a proposition covering
what may remain in the treasury.
1t comes with the authority of a
very well-known organization, the
Lime Kiln club of Chicago:
"The chairman of the committee
on finance expressed his readiness
to report on the inquiry, How
shall we use the surplus in the
treasury p and reported as follows:
~. Gin cherry city in de kentry
a millyon dollars to spend in fab
works.
"2. Buy fo'millyon bushels OF
peanuts an distribute 'em free to
all.
"3. Hev hoss races an prize
fights once a week, wild admishun
free.
~. Distribute Waterbury
watches and roller skates free to all,
an doan charge nobody muffin for
lemonade"
We recommend this to the OPP
ponents of tariff reform in Con-
gress. They can "get away with
the surplus by this plan without
trouble, and make everybody hap
/ nv. too.

The established creed of the
"Woman's Rights" cranks is
tersely expressed in the argument
of one of the "sistern" thusly:
ono sectarianism in religion, no
socialism in politics, no sex in
citizenship" The average female
bowler is informed that there is no
religion in her creed, and there
fore sectarianism cannot exist. AS
a rule, the reformers have no pro-
perty franchise, and therefore seek
to appropriate that of others. The
ranters have unsexed themselves,
but they will not be able to induce
our mothers, wives and daughters
to follow their emasculated social
forms. OF all the internal isms
that have crept into public notice,
this "woman's rights theory is
the most degrading and detest-
able. With every element ofgross-
ness, it is destitute of every re-
fined female quality.-Moberly
