Vestibule Trains to Chicago.

The Vestibule train is new
factor in western railroad trans
portation. 1t is claimed for these
trains that on account of their be-
ing connected by steel hoods all
danger of telescoping in case
of accident is removed, the train
being practically one long car. 1t
is certain that the oscillation of
the cars is greatly reduced, and it
is also certain that the vestibule
trains afford the greatest comfort
yet known to travellers. The adop-
ton of this style of train by the
Chicago, Santa Fe & California
railway between Kansas City and
Chicago is a strong bid for the
passenger trafic between the West
and Chicago. This new road is in
many particulars ahead of any of
its older competitors, and will un-
doubtedly be the popular road to
Chicago.

There need be no anxiety
about the Irish vote. 1t viii
Eeyer go back to Grover Cleveland
IN the interest of free trade Eng
land.
1t is significant fact that
over so per cent Of the commercial
travellers of the. country are in
favor of the election of Harrison
and Morton.
Harrison has carried Indi-
ana three times and failed once and
the time that he failed, he received
1000 more votes than any other
republican on the ticket.
building up ones county
with happy homes, schools,
churches and great industries is
a noble work, particularly when
that county is such a paridise as
the one in which we live. Now
let us convince the world of the
fact.
As an evidence of the pro-
gress that modern ideas are max
ingin Japan, it is stated that that
country is now building thirty
four new railroads, at a cost of
over $50,000,000 and it has hund-
reds of miles OF railroads already
built.
Some years ago the London
Times remarked; "The only time
that England can use an Irish
man is when he emigrates to
America and votes for free trade,
which he Invariably does" But
when the Votes are counted
next November it will be found
that lrishmen are done with Eng
land and free trade for ever.
When the Republican party
came into power it found calico
- cents yard and whisky 20
cents gallon. When Invent out of
power 1t left calico 5 cents yard
and whisky taxed nearly a dollar a
gallon. The result of Republican
rule has been cheap clothing, good
wages for the laboring man, home
markets, and high priced whisky.
England has twice tried to
subdue the United States by force
of arms, and each time made dis
nal failure. A third effort is be-
ing made by the Golden club, and
instead of firearms, money is the
weapon. 1t is needless to state
the defeat Of 1888, will be as dis
astrous rs were the defeats of
1776 and 1872.
r. c. Sickles, talented
young attorney of UnionviIle, is a
candidate for the Office of State
Senator in the Fifth Senatorial
district. We have known Mr..
Sickles from boyhood, and the Re-
publican party of the Fifth dis
trict cannot do itself greater honor
than to nominate him at its
Senatorial convention and elect
him in November,
Hon. Ben. Eli Gutherie.
one of the most influential demo-
Gratis of Macon county, thinks the
democratic majority in Missouri,
next November will not exceed six
thousand if it amounts to that.

Century for August.

The Century keeps up its Gust
ON of making the August n
midsummer Holiday Number"
The points of novelty in this
number are the beginning of an ir-
geniously planned story in three
parts by Thomas \. Janvier,
author of the Ivory Black"
stories, and an astronomical series
by Professor Holden of the Lick
University. Mr. Janvier's new
serial is called - Mexican Cam
paign," 1t need hardly be said
this is not a new War Series,
although the chapters of the first
part are named "The Mobiliza-
ton of the Troops" "The Farley
Under False Colors," and "The
Skirmish at Buena Vista" Pro-
fesscr Holden will publish two
articles on SidereaI Astronomy,
old and new. The one now given
briefly chronicles the data which
astronomy has collected up to
date; it tells of the methods of
naming the stars, their number,
the star char is, catalogues, etc
These articles are appropriate to
the star-gaZlng season.

This is very fair estimate for a
Democrat, but the present indica-
tions are that Missouri will lack
about six Thousand of laving any
Democratic majority at all,
One of the most far seeing
confederates Of the South, General
Taylor, once asserted that the
great mistake of the South was,
that it did not, when it had the
power, by means of free trade, re-
duce the north to defenceless
condition, ana by SO doing have
rendered it powerless for attack
or defense by undermining its
great manufacturing industries.
1t is asserted by cattle men
that, if a coon skin is dragged
across the trail or over the feeding
ground of cattle, the effect will be
to stampede the herd. Whether the
assertion Is founded on fact or
fancy, it seems that the old cocn
skin of 1910, dragged across the
Democratic trail is having that
effect ON the Democrat party,
causing a general stampede for
Republican pastures.
in arecent speech at Deca-
tur, Ills, John A. Brooks declared
that he had been rebel, and a
Democrat, but thanked God from
the bottom of his heart that he
had never been a Republican 1t
il presumed that if he were offer
ed two thousand dollars to aid in
the Republican Campaign he
would get down ON his knees and
publicly ask forgivness for not
having been a Republican for the
past twenty years.
As an evidence of what
would be the result Of free trade
in this country, we have only to
cite an. instance or two where
duty was removed from certain
articles that were not grown ol
manufactured in this country. As
soon as the Mills bill passed the
house the Scotch manufactures O.
burlaps and hop-sacking advanced
the price of their products the
amount to be taken off by the re-
| duction of the tariff. 1t was the
same with coffee, when put upol
the free list. The coffee growers
demanded and received the differ
ence. Free trade would destroy
our industries; and with competi.
ton removed there would be al
advance instead of lowering o
prices to the consumer.
