Kennen in Pike.

from tlfe flRe county fost-
In the proper column will be
found the announcement of Hon.
E. G. Kennen, of Laddonia, Au-
drain county, as acandidate for the
State Senate. As is well known
our choice for the Senate has al
ways been Hon. Richard Biggs, Of
Farber, but since Mr.. Biggs' deter.
mination not to allow his name to
be used, we see ne reason why the
ambition of Mr.. Kennen should not
meet with the most careful if not
favorable consideration at the
hands ofthe Democrats of the 18th
Senatorial district. He is an hon.
est man, a thorough Democrat and
a man of good sense and excellent
judgment. He is learned in the
law and is specially gifted as a
public speaker. He is possessed
of every requirement to make a
faithful and efficient representative
of the people. Without hesitation
we say that Mr.. Kennen has some
staunch friends in Pike, who would
him elected, and there
are, we believe, quite a number Of
the Pike county delegates favorable
to his nomination.

We see from the Republican that
A. G.. Armstrong, a merchant of
Mexico, Mo-, was fined $500 last
week by the st. Louis Court of
Criminal Correction on a charge of
criminal libel for undertaking to
collect SO, which a Mrs. Vineil, OF
st. Louis, owed him, through a
Chicago agency which sent an
envelope to the debtor bearing the
inscription in large black letters
"Bad Debt" Press this matter
a little further and a creditor will
soon be expected to send q ser.
want with a perfumed note on a
silver silver politely requesting the
debtor to honor the man he owes
with pay for the provisions with
which he had fed and feasted his
family for six months or a year and
then if he should venture to press
his claim he would likely be sued
for criminal libel.

VEST, CLAY AND COOK.
To the Editor OF the Ledger.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, May 23.-I see the
following in the InteUigeaeer of the
Esd inst, speaking of Col. Clay's
position on Senator Vest. The In
telligeacer said:
Column after column of the
LEDGER have been devoted to Gre
ating the impression that Col.
Clay was opposed to Senator Vest.
The articles were written under the
guise of friendship for Col. Clay
and pretendedly because of a
friendship for Senator Vest. Col.
Clay frankly stated his position in
the public discussion Saturday in
which he left no doubt as to his
warm friendship for Senator Vest,
and yet the newspaper that has so
industriously misrepresented Col.
Clay has not the fairness to pub
lish the truth.
eff the individual who wrote the
articles signed GA Vest Democrat"
was sincere in his professions and
contained a spark of manhood in
his composition he would see to it
that Col. Clay is set right before the
public"
l have written the following let
ter to the editor of the InteUigencer,
and sent it to him by hand:
S. r. Cook. Esq, Editor of the Intelligencer.
My DEAR SIR note what you
say about me in relation to Col:
Clay's position towards Senator
Vest in your daily issue of the
22nd inst. l got into the Court
House on Saturday last and took
my seat just as Col. Clay was clos
ing his remarks as to how he stood
towards Senator Vest, hence | am
unable to speak of my own person
al knowledge as to how Col. Clay
stands towards him. I take it the
people want no hearsay evidence
in this important matter.
If Col. Clay will write a short
card and sign his name to it and say
how he stands towards Senator
Vest and send it to me and will
pay for its insertion, and if he
wont pay for it 1 will, I will see
that his card is inserted in the next
issue of the LEDGER after I receive
it. What more can Col. Clay ask?
I do not wish to do Col. Clay any
harm.
Please insert this in your pape,
of to-day, SO that it may accom-
pany your remarks about me in the
weekly I~nteligencer of this week.

Mr.. Editor, I hope that this can
vass may be carried on with de.

them, will tolerate no other kind.

The Cattle Trust.

From the 81. Louis Republican.
The cattle trust investigation
provided for in Senator Vests res
olution adopted by the Senate
Wednesday will clear up a matter
that is involved in q good deal of
mystery-the depression in prisces
of Western cattle in the last few
years without any corresponding
reduction in the price of beef in
the retail markets. Senator Vest
charges that this is the result of a
Seattle trust'' conspiracy between
six large packing firms in Chicago
and the railroads that take the cat
tie into that city-and he asserts
that the evidence to support the
charge IS obtainable. The Senate
provides for a special committee to
investigate the subject with priv,
lege of sitting during the ecess
and report at the next session.
The subject is one of no small
concern to Western farmers, who,
by reason of the low prices of corn
and hay in the last several years,
have been forced to go into the
cattle feeding business-and it is
particularly severe on the cattle
raisers of the far West, who COM
plain that when they ship their
animals to market they get next to
nothing for them. The leagued
slaughtering firms make the price
to suit themselves, and the shipper
has no choice but to accept it. Of
course the parties to the trust
make a pile of money in the bust
ness-Senator Vest says $50 head
on 1,S21,417 head of cattle slaught-
cred in 1ss7-or s54, 600, 900 in all.
And a great portion of this enor-
nous sum, divided among FIVE
slaughtering firms in Chicago, was
virtually taken by force from the
farmers and ranch owners who
shipped the cattle to Chicago.
1t is a very serious question
then, and if it be true that the
railroads are in league with the
slaughtering firms in the conspi-
racy, the fact furnishes another ex-
ample of the rapacity of modern
trusts and the heldlessness of the
people to protect themselves
against them.
1t looks as If the farmers of the
| West and South were to be robbed
and despoiled till thee is nothing
of them left.

Court of Appeals-Judge Turner


A. Gill.
From the Kansas City Times.
Eyes, / would like to receive
the nomination for Judge of tho
Kansas City Court of Appeals from
the Democratic convention, If the
convention sees fit to give it to me,
and l would be pleased to have the
Times announce my candidacy
The foregoing is the way Judge
Turner A. Gill replied to q ques-
ton in regard to his rumored can
didacy for the Court of Appeals
bench. 1t is needless to tell Kan
sas City and Jackson county DEM
ocrats who Judge Gill is. They
all know him way back, and the
longer he has been known the
more popular and respected has he
become. He has never been an Of
fce-seeker in the common accept
ance of the term, and every office
he has held has come as near seek
ing him as an Office ever does seek
the man ; for during the public life
of Judge Gill he has never signified
his willingness to accept a public
place that his constituents had not
been eager to give to him.
Judge Gill has been in public
life more or less since 1875, when
he was elected mayor of Kansas
City, and it can be said of him, as
it has been said of few public men,
that every act has always made
him stronger with the people. This
is because he has always made the
right his guiding star and he has
always known what was right. He
was born in Bath county, Ken
lucky, December 1871, and when
he was Is years old his father
moved to Jackson county, locating
Is miles south of this city. He en-
tered the university of Kentucky,
but left before his course was COM
pleted to join the Confederate
army. He was a mere boy then,
but served calamity as a captain
in Shelby's brigade, and was known
as an honorable and fearless officer.
After the war he completed the
law course in the university of
Kentucky and began to practice
law in this city in 1868. His first
official position was that of mayor
of Kansas City in 1875, when he
was elected by the support of both
parties. He was the first mayor
under the present charter and was
largely instrumental in its adop-
ton. Those were the times when
Kansas City scrip was not worth
the paper it was written on, and
Kansas City seemed to be fnan-
cially ruined. Its prosperity dates
from the adoption of the charter
and Judge Gill's election as mayor.
He was reelected in 1876, and was
afterward City Counsellor for two
years under Mayor Shelly. In the
summer of 1881, Judge Woodson
of the Circuit Court died, and
Judge Gill was appointed by Gov
ernor Crittenden to fill out the un-
expired term upon the almost
unanimous petition of the bar.
He was elected in 1882, and re-
elected in 1886, the Republicans
indorsing his nomination. His
term of office expires in 1898.
Judge ellis ability as a lawyer
and judge is generally recognized
by the bar and the public, and his
fitness for any judicial position is
admitted. AS an official and a
citizen his record is spotless.
