How She Got Even.
BY JESSIE HOWELL.

Our birthday we stood at the gate.
And hushed was our lively talk,
AS with red hair a pretty maid
Came tripping along the walk.
For Just behind her on the road,
There trotted u pure white horse,
And, as We thought of the joke,
We smiled, as u matter of course.
She saw US smile, then glanced behind,
And her cheeks with anger burned,
She gave her head a scornful toss,
As around to us she turned.
A naughty look she gave. then said:
81 always make IL a rule,
Whenever . white horse / see,
To look around for q fool"

The auction sale of the Sedalia Dem
ocrat, which suspended publication just
before the election, took place last
Saturday. The material, machinery
and associated press franchise were all
knocked down to Mr.. A. G. Baldwin,
for the insignificant sum of $1,000.
Thinking the field o good n Messrs.
Jas. y. Payne and D. A. Allen, OF
independence, started an afternoon
daily named the Herald, a few days
before the sale of the Democrat.
Messrs. Baldwin, Payne and Allen are
all good democrats, reliable and care
full business men and practical news
paper men. Mr.. Baldwin has been
very successful as editor of the Mar
shall, Mo-, News; Mr.. PAYNE Is well
known from his long and able control
of the Independence Sentinel, and Mr.,
Allen has been connected with the
Progress of the same place. There Ii
no room In Sedalia for two democratic
daily newspapers. There is room, and
a profitable field, for one such paper
properly managed. Knowing the gen
tlemen as we 10 we are glad to see thai
there is a prospect of their Joining
forces, and giving to Sedalia and cen
trial Missouri, a live newspaper, demo-
cratic in politics, reliable as a news
gatherer and from a business stand
point. We wish the new venture grea'
success.

Unlike the present &. A. II. the new
order in Indiana openly its
purpose to be political as well as social.
A constitution has been adopted tor the
organization to be composed exclusively
of democratic soldiers, the keynote
OF which is "to foster and maintain
democratic principles in the admins
tration of the affairs of the government,
both state and national; to make con-
slant and u%nceasing war OIL corruption;
to work Tor purity, simplicity and
efficiency in all the departments of
government: to use our influence and
to oppose with all our might the
encroachments of political and money
ed m%onopolies upon the liberties and
freedom of the people" The preamble
thereto, under which each post will be
organized, is as iollows:-'The under
signed, believing that It is the duty of
every good citizen to take not only a
deep interest but also all active part in
the political affairs OF the country and
the continual prosperity of its institu-
tions, require for their preservation
that the policy and character of the
government shall be determined and
guided by the principles of the demo-
cratic party, and in order to add to the
organized strength of the democratic
party have formed themselves into a
Democratic Union Soldiers aud Sail
ors' Veteran Association of Indiana"
Gen. koontz says with reference there
to that the republicans have attempted
to belittle the strength of the movement,
but the democrats understand the stu
alton. There have already been a
number of Withdrawals from the Grand
Army. 81 shall withdraw from my
post this week. All the democratic
Grand Army men will not withdraw at
once, but they will gradually leave the
order and enroll themselves with the
democrats. II anv n thinks that he
can stay in the Grand Army and also
be a member of the democratic organ-
ization no objection will be offered,
but the two orders cannot work in har.
mony, and separation, absolute and
permanent, will finally result. The
new ASSOCIATION will be beneficial, but
the main idea is to advance the interests
of the democratic party, state and
national"

that Mr.. Warner, the commander-in-

Thursday, voted against Mr.. Payson's
amendment to the Oklahoma bill, that
union soldiers should have homesteads
there free. Now, how much better was
that than Mr. Cleveland's vetOes OF
special pension bills that did the pro-
pesed beneficiaries injury rather than
service? In Nr. Cleveland's case an
t~agOnizing at all a claim for an ex-
soldier, whether properly or improper
ly. was held to be a political crime, for
which he was insulted and ridiculed by
the TuttIes, F%airchilds. Forakers and
Shermans. In Mr.. Warmers case it
will be all right, we suppose. To us
the entire proceeding smacks of the
.sniveling hypocrisy of a crystalyzed
