Resolutions of Respect.

At a meeting of the Audrain Bar
Association at the office of Judge
S. NJ. Edwards yesterday after
noon, the following resolutions
were adopted:
! The Audrain County Bar Asso-
citation, in pursuance with pre-
vious notice, having met to CON
slider the death of Hon. Vim. S.
Mostly, one of its most respected
members, and to express lis esteem
for the deceased, IS well AS its
sympathy with his family and
friends, orders the following resolu-
tion to be entered upon it's records
and to be published in the papers
of the city and an engrossed copy
of the proceedings of the meeting
to be delivered to the family.
That the Hon. VIM. S. Mosby, a
member of this association, was a
citizen upright, independent, hav-
ing the courage of his convictions;
man and a Christian beyond
reproach; a scholar of high attain
ments; a lawyer of large and critical
readings, having a fund of varied
useful and most valuable legal
knowledge; an honest and wise
counsellor, an able practitioner and
public officer and always found
faithfully and skillfully executing
the high duties of Prosecuting At
torney for this county, to do which
he was called by the voice of his
fellow citizens, thereby honoring
at once the place as well as those
by whom he obtained it. As a
friend, kind true and loving, truly
we may say a good man has died
and well do the people mourn.
Further, that in his death, the
public has lost much of value; his
friends and relatives a cherished
a..d beloved member: his wife a
trusted, hnnnrcd husband, whose
future life was full of high promise
and 10 them all and especially to
his bereaved wife this association
extends in sincerest aid most low
ing words, its sympathy and con-
dolence.

FREE WOOL STANDS.

Upon square vote in the House
wool is left in the free list by the
fair margin of IS majority.
This is distinct triumph for the
tariff reformers, the President first
of all. In his message to Congress
President Cleveland made a strong
argument for free wool. He point
ed out that "the farmer who has
no sheep is by this scheme 1.-THE
tariff obliged, in his purchase OF
clothing and woolen goods, to pay
a tribute to his fellow farmer as
well as to the manufacturer and
merchant" He likewise explain
ed to the wool-grrower that sin the
end he pays upon moderate pur-
chase of clothing, as a result of the
tariff scheme, which when he sold
his wool seemed so profitable, an
increase in price more than suffi-
elent to sweep away all the tariff
prott he received upon the wool
he produced and sold"
But the President went further.
lie declared that the greatest good
OF the greatest number demands
ch9Gper clothing for all the people.
free wool means a better market
for the wool-grower, wider mar
ket for the manufacturer, more
work for the wool operatives and
cheaper and better clothing and
carpets for the people.

THE LEDGER's cartoon to-day
pictures the Missouri gubernatorial
campaign as it exists at present.
Francis, who is abusing nobody,
is opposed by combination of the
others in the field. Glover is the
mudslinger who stands in front OF
Moreh ouse, reviling the mayor,
while Morehouse insinuates in his
speeches what the bolder Glover
alleges. Glover in the role of vestal
virgin pretends to be the can
didate ofpurity in politics, although
his friends admit the wrosg
he perpetrated on the voters of the
ninth district in the unfair pri-
maries two years ago. Morehouse
is playing the farmer act-going to
introduce rustic legislation and
smash the st. Louis Merchants
Exchange and the Kansas City
Board of Trade. Well, well, it's d
pretty little comedy ,and Morehouse
and Glover will have their say and
then make their exit, after which
the lights will go out and leave
their booms in darkness.

Gov. MoREHoUsE is reported, in
dispatch from Springfield, in this

sound as coming from the Cover
nor of the State, that large part
of his people can be bought with
money? If he made the charge we
denounce it rs libel on the Dem
ocratic party of the State and one
that the party should not be slow
TO resent. 1t is a charge that
should not be passed by in silence

The Coming Meeting.


1t is possibly true that the
owners and breeders of trotting
horses in Missouri never had in
contemplation a better weeks
sport than that provided for them
by the Missouri Trotting and Pac-
ing Horse Breeders Association in
cooperation with the Mexico Fair
Association, on the grounds Of the
latter at Mexico, Mo-, commencing
Tuesday, August 7th next. The
members of the Association are
among the leading breeders of the
State and will vie with each other
in bringing out their best horses
and competing for the valuable
stakes provided. The horses will
| come from every part of the State,
will represent the best blood in
the country and will show to the
world that we have here not only
some good ones but lots of them.
Already has Capt. w. r. Carter,
who has charge of the grounds, re-
ceived numerous applications for
stalls and the horses will soon be-
gin to gather there to familiarize
themselves with the track for the
weeks work that is before them.

of his answering fidelity as an Of

HAILING COLUMBIA.
Synopsis of a Sermon Preached in
the Christian Church at Mar
tinsburg, July 9Th by Elder
Samuel Magee.

To give truthfulness to the in
scription on our old historic bell,
"Proclaim liberty throughout the
land to all the inhabitants thereof"
we must be nation of freemen.
Our fathers fought for themselves,
their land, their affairs and their
homes, to prevent even the sem
blance of tyrannical government
over their country. High, noble
and glorious as was the cause for
which our fathers fought, may we
not, without lowering the surpass-
ing honor in which we may hold
their memories, well and truly say
that the praise of those who are
willing and ready and anxious to
perpetuate these principles, is
higher, nobler and better still.
Once more "the Fourth" has
come and gone and with more of
meaning about it to every one,
than was permitted to appear in
the long long suffering times when
it was given over to hideous noise
and heather ceremony. 1t is no
longer held necessary to have cur
patriotism refreshed or assisted by
the banging Of all day long salutes
and the burning and splutter OF
gunpowder, clearer and move ap-
propriate ways of celeb. ating "the

are more fortunate than the French

don't see that il makes the liquor
drinking any less. On last Satur-
day five kegs Of beer were shipped
up from Mexico to private parties
and drank. One keg was ordered
and drank by young boys ranging
in age from IA 10 9years. IL this
state of things continues we shall
have just cause TO say "save the
boys" We are not publishing this
merely for effect; the truth of the
above is we'll known.
