Hutton on Governor.

The Washington correspondent
of the Globes Democrat interviewed
all the Congressman from Missouri
on how they would like Francis for
Governor. All the Congressman
appeared to be pleased but our
representative, who would not talk,
ms the following shows:
"Mr. Hutton, the silent member
from the Seventh District. was I'M
communicative. Mr.. Hutton having
cherished in his own bosom, for
many long months, a guberna,orial
ambition, which has not even devel-
oped sufficiently to become known
to the world, is yet extremely
modest about expressing himself.
Mr.. Hutton's linen collar was fault
less, his diamond pin flashed with
its usual brilliancy, his Prince
Albert coat was buttoned closely
and the statesman from the Seventh
looked as pretty as ever. When
asked his views on the gubernatorial
situation he hitched up one shoulder
rs if he lad broken a suspender,
scowled over his gold-rimmed eye
glasses, bowed stifliy, waved his
daintily gloved hand most males
tically, begged to be excused, and
retired to the seclufsion of his con-
gressional seat. Resumlng his
artistic pose which had thus been
rudely disturbed, he went on with
his daily task of industriously
studying the galleries, as solemnly
earnest as Don Quixote and as
dignified and imposing as Sancho
Panza imagined himselfto he. Mr..
Hutton looked very pretty, but he
would say nothing"

ton, he thought, was whether or
not the city was i'll Il shape to meet
the proposition submitted by Judge
Macfarlane. He was afraid that
much difficulty would by encount-
cred in securing ratification by a
popular vote of the proposition.
He thought the average citizen
could not be convinced that the
works cost within several thousand
dollars of the amount stated by
Judge Macfarlane.
Mr.. Llewellyn submitted figures
showing that the works did not
cost much less than $4,000.
Mr.. Ferris followed Mr.. Arnold
with a motion to reject the propo-
sition. The motion prevailed.
In answer to a question of Mr..
Arnold, Judge Macfarlane agreed
to transmit to the bondholders
any reasonable proposition the
Council might submit. Mr.. Arnold
then moved that the bondholders
be offered $40, 900 in five per cent.
bonds, payable in five and twenty
years, the contract to take effect
October |, at which time all right
and title in the Water-works, with
appurtenances thereto, be turned
over to the city and all differences
now existing be finally settled.
The motion carried, and the city's
proposition will at once be con-
veyed to the bondholders.

The following four states are
those in which the battle must be
fought: Connecticut, g.; Indiana,
Is; New Jersey. 8; New York, SO;
total &c. The whole number of
electoral votes is four hundred and
one, and two hundred and one votes
are necessary to elect. Of the six
ty-six votes belonging to the states
here classed as doubtful, the Re-
publicans need nineteen and the
Democrats forty-eight. If the Re-
%publicans carry New York the
game is up for the Democrats, no
matter if they should win Califor-
MIA through Thurman's popularity
on the Pacific Coast and save New
Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana for
Cleveland. We do not think there
will be any trouble in carrying all
of the above states, and in this way
we al take the sIxty-six votes for
ever out of the doubtful column.

Resolutions of Respect.

GROVES CHAPEL S. S., Audrain
County, Mo-, August 5.-We, the
officers, teachers and scholars of
Groves Chapel Sunday School this
day resolve,
First, That we bow in submits
sion to the will of our Father in
heaven in calling our sister, Miss
Rosa Lee Triplett, home to heaven,
where "God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither
sorrow nor crying, neither shall
there be any more pain, for the
former things are passed away"
(Rev. 21-4.)
Second, That we cannot fully
realize that kind, obliging, loving
Rosa, has indeed gone to be a
bright and happy angel. We can
not forget her bright smiles, her
kind words, her beautiful religious
life for the past eleven months, al
ways SO bright and happy under
adverse circumstances.
Third, That We miss her, oh, so
sadly, in the S. S. as our teacher
and sister worker in the cause of
the Master as we'll as treasurer of
our Sunday School. and in the
every day walks of life.
Fourth, That we little thought, a
short time since, that Rosa would
be the first to pass to the realms of
delight, and we deeply sympathize
with the father and mother, sisters
and brother and friends of kind
hearted, loving Rosa.
Fifth, That her place cannot be
filled; but we will try to initiate
her example, knowing that it is not
the longest life that is the best.
We will try to SO live that, finally,
when our summons shall come to
join the innumerable caravan, that
we go not like the slave at night
to his dungeon, but ascend to that
paradise of Eden above, to meet
our sister. friend and loved one.
"Rosa has gone down the valley,
The deep, dark valley;
Wen see her face never more;
Till we pass down the valley,
Down deaths dark valley,
And meet her on the other shore"
"There's one more break in a happy
band,
One more home that is desolate now;
One more harp in an angels hand,
One more crown on an angels brow.
One more form that we've loved 80
well,
Sleeping while meath the churchyard
sod,
One more spirit gone to dwell,
In the kingdom of our God.
One more light on the shining strand,
One more welcome our steps to greet;
One more waiting to take our hand,
At the pearly gate of the golden street.
Lonely father, one mother,
Look beyond this vale Of tears:
Lonely sisters, little brother,
Look beyond this flight of years.
You nave planned far in the future,
You have loved with tender care;
But your Rosa is now unfolding,
Midst the angels, pure and fair.
Much you miss your tender Rosa,
None can ever take her place;
And the anguish and the heartache,
Call for heavenly strength and grace.
But we trust the joy and fragrance,
She has thrown upon your past;
May be strengthened in the future,
And complete in heaven at last"
Sixth, Resolved, That a copy o
these resolutions be sent to ouI
county paper, or papers, for publ
cation, also to the st. Louis Chris
tian 1drccdte, and our secretary b.
requested to copy them upon hi
book; and, to send a copy of tn
original resolutions, to her be
