HAYES PAST RECORD.

Nevada, Mo, Dec. 12:-Tho news of
the Halves tragedy at Birmingham, Ala.
and the further fatalities inflicted upon
the mob that undertook to hang him
have created considerable interest
among the old settlers of this county
because only n few years ago Halves
lived at Deerfield in this county about
Ten miles west of here, and during his
residence there kept a drug store and
was arrested upon one occasion for sell
ling liquor in violation OF the state laws
and fined quite heavily in the circuit
court. A short time after this he went
from here to Alabama and nothing
more was heard of him until the mur-
der at Birmingham.
Halves was originally from Owens
bnro, Ky, and married Emma
Throckmorton. The Throckmortons
were al old and wealthy family and
connected with many other old fami-
lies. Collin Throckmorton's wife was
a daughter of Zeb Ward of Louisville
who built the celebrated CAN'T hOnse OF
that city aud a sister OF Mat Ward who
killed Prof. Noble A. Butler, the anthor
OF Buffers English grammar. Cover
o Throckmorton of Texas was a
cousin of Collin 8. So it will be seen
the family was well connected. Emma
ThrockmOrton was all extraordinary
! woman and shortly after her mar
riage to HAYES on one occasion ran
up a shop bill of $1,000 in a single
day.
When Halves left here he said he was
going TO Alabama in the mining dis
triCts where he owned land. Tit
Throckmorton's also owned severs
thousand acres in that section. Thu
marriage of Halves and Emma Throck
morton was bitterly opposed by TIN

The confidence game which the re-
publicans tried to play on the people
of Southeast Missouri, to divide them,
and ALLEVIATE them from the democratic
party by means of the Wheel organiza-
ton, is, we learn from the New York
Herald, being attempted in Alabama.
The republican club there is the
Farmers Alliance, which, though
started as a non political organization,
is to be used as it was designed the
Wheel should be in this state. For
tunately, here, the purpose of the re-
publicans was discovered in time, and
bv exposure was frustrated. AS the
scheme is made public this early in
Alabama there is but little doubt that
1t will be thoroughly exposed and
exploded before the congressional
elections of two years from now. The
democratic party stands for farmers
rights and farmers interests as against
the class legislation of the republican,
party, and it will be All evil day for the
agricultural interests of this country
when the power of democracy to battle
for the equality of all before the law
shall be stricken down by the machin-
atoms and dickers of a political party
whose chief purpose of e~xistence is the
fostering of monopolies.

Trusts are becoming more and more
common. Most of the insurance COM
panies doing business in Chicago have
formed a sort of combination, or trust,
by which an entirely new system of
business has been introduced. Under it
every policywritten by the combination
companies contains this clause:-"It is
part of the consideration for this policy
and the basis upon which the rate of
premium is fixed, that the assured shall
maintain insurance on the property
described by this policy to the extent of
at least 80 per cent. of the actual cash
value thereof, and that, failing so to do,
the assured shall be a co-insurer to the
extent of such deficit, and to that
extent shall bear his, her or their pro-
portion of any loss; and it is expressly
agreed that i'll case there shall be more
than one item or division in the form
of this policy, this clause shall apply to
each and every item" With this clause
in his policy, the man insnring for
$40 900 property worth 100000 finds
himself a co-insurer. TO the amount of
$500 This means that he pays
premiums on a forty-thoussnd-doll
policy, and when his place burns he
pays half the amount of the insurance
out of his own pocket. In case the
loss is partial he also bears an equal
burden of the rick with the company .
This scheme has been quietly worked
for some time. Public attention il
being drawn to it, and business mel
are Directing vigorously. A movement
is OH foot to have the legislature pas.
laws to prevent the operation Of the
plan.

In regard to Mr.. Vandiver's bill to

The main objections to the division are

about not having sufficient representa-.

The fraternal spirit Of the south
toward the north as evidenced by the
expressions in the Montgomery, Ala,

shame the partisan hatred of the north
as evidenced by the feeling that prevent

because it was offered in congress by

THE POPULAR VOTE.



Tariff reform carries away one trO-
ply of the recent battle. General Har
rison was elected by states, not by
ballots of the whole people. IL is gen
orally conceded that Mr.. Cleveland re-
ceived at least 100000 plurality in the
United states.
The prohibition party had a low tax
plank in its platform. That organiza-
ton pOlled 100000 votes. Every one
of these ballots was al arraignment of
protection.
OF Streeter's supporters fully 1O0.-
600 voted against Cleveland because, in
their opinion, he did not cOncede enough
to free trade.
Upon this showing the Herald can
say to its readers that there are in the
country $780, 600 voters who demand
lower taxation. A plurality of nearly
half a million believe that whisky and
tobacco are luxuries; that sugar and
wool are necessities.
The Herald is glad TO stand on the
side of the 200, 600.

"The Charlton Courier thinks that
there should be a criminal court in all
counties Of 20, 900 inhabitants aud over,
and that judges should be- appointed by
the supreme court. A constitu =
tional amendment will be required
before such a change can be affected"
A better way would be to give probate
judges criminal jurisdiction, and have
all but capital cases triab!e by inform
alton. This would reduce criminal
costs immensely, as it would secure
speedy trials, do away with the big
board bills to county ~jailers, and cave
greatly upon " illness anu other costs.

The idea that Hon. Norman ). Cole
man, the commissioner of agriculture,
desired to have his department made
all executive one, SO that he might he a
cabinet officer, seems 10 be a mistake.
The bill to put a new cabinet officer by
the title of secretary OF agriculture at
the head of a new executive department
of agriculture passed the house with u
clause providing Tor the transferring of
the signal Office from the war depart
ment to The new department thus to be
created. The senate struck out The
signal service clause, and, thus amend
ed, passed the bill. The house will
probably adopt the senate's amend.
ment and the bill will become a law.
81 do not belleve," said Commissioner
Coleman, a few days ago, "that the
department of agriculture should be
made u cabinet department. 1t is
entirely a scientific department and
should be held altogether aloof from
politics. | have al W avs been opposed to
the pending bill, whether In its original
or its amended shape. The department
would be much better, | think, as it is.
At present it is of the best organ
lied departments of the government,
and more Independent, even of the
president, than any of the other de-
partmeDts." Now, if there was the
least intention of civil service reform
on the part of Mr.. Harrison, here would
be an excellent place to demonstrate it.
Mr.. Colman is the most practical and
useful commissioner of agriculture that
the country has ever had, and the pur-
poses of the office would be greatly
furthered by his retention. This is a
good place for q test. If Mr.. Colman
10 removed then the following plank of
the republican party should be solemnlY
and decorously burned:-"The reform
OF the civil service, auspiciously begun
under the republican administration,
should be completed by the further
extension of the reform system already
established by law to all the grades of
the service to which it is applicable; the
spirit and purpose Of the reform should
be observed in all executive appoint
ments, and all laws at variance with the
object Of existing reform legislation
should be repealed, to the end that the
dangers to tree institutions which lurk
in the power of official patronage may
be wisely and effectively avoided"
