Morehouse.
IS + in s.. I.an's Repnl.lie

Albert L. More house is An ac-
cidental Governor. BY the force
OF circumstances he becomes
the idol of the spokesman He
thwarts the spirit of the constitu-
ton, If not the letter, in that he is
a candidate at all. Not endowed
with surprising political ability
he has created "Frankenstein"
IN the shape a State grain inspec-
tor. Having once posed as the
farmers friend, his unsolicited
iavoritism turns upon him a mon
ster of his own creation. EVERY
where he is boastful as a bow.
'But for the death of the lamented
Marmadukc" he would .'neyer
have been a candidate" Having
had several months experience he
pronounces that "the duties of
Governor are simple" This was
his earliest plea in his own behalf.
We are appalled, at the idea that it
should be unsuccessful. He goes
round and round with Mr.. Glover.
Having had ample opportunity to
gain a State reputation III the
Legislative hall he leaped into
public gaze at a single bound. He
toys with the pardoning power like
a child with puzzle. Having
pardoned the bank robber King,
almost before the people were
awakened to the necessity of pro-
test, he hesitates with Maxwell,
while the ablest legal talent Of the
State recoils from Judicial muir
der" and justice in Missouri stag
gers before a hired spy and a
travesty of q trial. Mr.. More
house is receiving some benefit
from his stand for the late Gen.
Marmaduke in the preceding can
vass. Never regarded as brilliant,
he is SAID to be ''good enough" by
those who hail an innovator as a
large man, but writes very small
hand. Chirographists may make
the application. When the State
committee met he asked tirae to
show what good Governor he
could make. He is spending the
time brushing the woods for votes.
As we read between the lines of
political events, and, as The Repatb-
lic has so clearly pointed out, he
has become the beneficiary in a
gigantic conspiracy, which, if true
to its purpose, will defeat the peo-
pies choice for Governor. He is
meeting with a certain success and
his imposing presence lends dignity
to his efforts. He, too, regards
Mr.. Francis as an enemy of the
people, and for his destruction he
called from the vast deep of his
occult love for the farmer the
"Frankenstein" grain inspector.
Behind Mr.. Morehouse, like chat
tering misers, a horde of hungry
politicians scheme and scheme.
The self-acknowledged creature of
circumstances, it remains to be
seen how forceful they may be
in satisfying his ambition for
second term in the teeth of the
constitution. His movements in
tellectually are slow, and while he
has emerged from the war himself
the memories of lieutenant
colonel in the militia linger about
him yet.

Local Option in Columbia.

TO the Editor of the Ledger.
COLUMBIA, Mo-, July 16.-L. o.
P, when translated, means Local
Option ; we have 1t and it has US.
1t is an elegant institution and
works charmingly. Every mans
house is bar-room and every
man a bar-keeper. The Athens of
Missouri is dry and the county wet.
All improvement of streets has
been suspended; the town board
has ordered the street lamps out
for want of funds. The conse-
quence is we have to feel our
way from one house to another.
The drys are moving to wet places,
and the vets are laying in a home
stock. A more complete farce was
never enacted than the l.. o. P. 1t
is fraud and causes more drinking
than all the high license saloons
we ever had located here. Every
man is spy upon his neighbor.
Under the Interpretation of the law
if you offer anyone drink, up you
60, criminal. No Samaritan busi-
ness about this. You know not
who to trust, in the enlarge
ment of your heart heretofore your
trusted friend you offer him nip,
and less than an hour you are peep
ing through the bars. Ten feet
from your residence the other fel-
lows touch glasses and drink each
others health, and confusion to the
L. 0. P. of Columbia, and they
are all right. Why? They live in
the country, and the country is wet.
Was there ever such a fraud perpe-
trated upon a community? The
old-time camphor bottle is thing
Of the past. You must chew the
gum or carry your headache around
under your arm. Twenty-one bar
rels of whisky were sold here the
week before the saloons were closed
and car loads of beer found resting
places in the cellars of drys as we'll
as the vets. Under the late de-
cision of the Supreme Court we
will have drug stores and no
revenue, and instead Of a drink
each fellow takes a bottle, and as
he has paid for it and prescriptions
are high, he must buy larger
quantities. Columbia is already
feeling the force of the farce: and
they are only at the beginning of
the end. The author of this law
ought to be voted a leather medal
and a life interest in an ice cream
foundry, or q scholarship in the
insane asylum. G.

other localities in this portion OF
the State, with the ultimate object
of perfecting some plan by which
the lands in North Central Mis-
sourl may be properly advertised

the State, so much more favored

are yet vast acres of unimproved
lands on the market, besides large
acreages of excellent, cheap, i'm
proved farms, ut which Eastern
capitalists would jump, did they
but know of their cheapness and
other advantages to to be derived.

people to listen longer to the hith-

DARWIN MARMADUKE chiefly
objects to Francis because he has
some Republicans working under
him in st. Louis. Darwin Mar
maduke should not oppose man
for doing what he does himself. Let
him countup the number of Repub-
licans at work in the pen. From
this distance we can count at least
ten Republicans who are now
guards at the pen, when there are
plenty of good Democrats who
would like to have the, positions.
If Mr.. Marmaduke practices what
he breaches he would have no Re-
publicans in the pen, except those
wearing striped clothes. Mr.. Mar
maduke makes good Warden-he
would make better one if he
would attend strictly to his own
business at the penitentiary, as his
brother intended he should when
he appointed him. A Democratic
Federal office-helder not thous
and miles from Mexico said he op'
posed Francis because he had ap
pointed Republicans. This same

Save Him from his Friends"

FROM the 81. Louis NepuDlic.
The sophistries that were put
forth to excuse Blaine for trying to
obtain a nomination on the sly
which he had declined openly in n
published letter deceived nobody.
The attempt to justify by the same
sophlstries similar conduct on the
part of Judge Norton will likewise
deceive nobody. Under no cir
cumstances can Judge Norton hon
orably allow the use of his name in
the pending Gubernatorial contest,
and we have no doubt whatever
that ifit becomes necessary he will
at the proper time repudiate the
efforts of treacherous friends to
drag him into the canvass.
Mr.. w. l.. Black, of Fort Nc
Kavett, Texas, formerly Of this

"The cattle feeders of your State,

ed in making their business a sue
cess. / think you must admit it
cannot be done without more
complete system than we now
work under. AMissouri cattle ex-
change, located at St. Louis, will,
l think, correct the trouble. Have
some of your practical cattle feed
ers give their views on STANDARD
grades and advance other ideas"

''Well, no: was merely joking. He
might have had complimentary vote,
but that Fourth of July speech at Cen

KILLED HIM COMPLETELY.
''Our people did not think he would

but he seems to have gone daft Oh the

requested that | sign petition asking
him to allow the use of his name for del
egate. | told him then as long as he
entertained these assinine statehood
ideas l would never support him in any
matter. He promised to modify them.
but his speech on the Fourth showed
that he failed to do so. My brothers
Grafton on the same day was made
purely to prove to the people that the
authorities cited by Campbell were er-
roneOus, and there was no law to sup
port them: He has lost his
prestige in, Yankton, and can
see, have all gone to Huron. not that
they have any sympathy with the
Huron movement, but to hold Campbell
down. Ii he had everything his own
way, it would be hard to say what he
would bring FORTH

harping OH the statehood issue. and he
expects to capture the nomination on
the strength of it. Why don't he run
for the legislature on his own plan?
Huron, of course, is pleased to have his
conventions, as 1t draws good crowd
for boarding houses, and gives the town
lively appearance"
''Grisly, l suppose you recognized the
absence of great many names from
the Yankton petition. urging Campbell
to run for congress. If so, you no doubt
missed seeing some of the representa-
