account of the great temperature,
Wednesday being the hottest, the

There was Harrison and Nor

by the Misses Owen misses Gatlin,

pole raising Capt. Davis OF Kir-
ksville, made very able speech to
a agoodly number who had collected
for that purpose. The Captains
speech was an exposition of the
tariff, mainly dwelling upon the
views, of the founders OF the
government, in reference to this
question showing that Washing
ton, Adams, Jefferson, Madison
and in fact all of the fathers be-
lieved in and advocated a tariff.
The speaker also showed that, at
those periods in our history when
we had protective tariff that the
country was much more prosper
GUS than at those periods when
the government had comparatively
free trade. Taking altogether it
was sound, concise and logical
discussion of the question that al
this time is Of greatest interest to
the American people. The Har.

Thirty Miles d isappear.

Thirty miles of country is big
thing to disappear, but this dis
tapce has been dropped out be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago.
How it happened is thus figured
out. The Chicago, Santa Fe Z Cal
ifornia Railway is completed be-
tween Kansas City and Chicago,
and the distance between the two
cities is only 45S miles measuring
from Union Depot. Kansas City,
to Dearborn Station, Chicago
This is exactly thirty miles less
than by any of the old lines, SO
you have.to travel thirty miles less,
your freight has to be hauled thir-
ty miles less, and practically the
Santa Fe has made thirty miles
disappear. A few years at this rate
and Kansas will be in New Eng
land.

JOHN A. BROOKS In TRUOBLE.

1t seems that the great temper
an,e apostle, John A. Brooks, Is
getting into deep water, and In adj
dition to doing the party, which
he is claiming to serve, E. great in
jury, he is likely to have the cold
wave Of distrust roll over him and
sweep him forever from sight.
A minister of Iowa and CO.
worker in the church with Brooks,
has written an open letter in which
he censures Brooks for the course
he is pursuing, accuses him of be-
ing unjust, and hints at the immor-
ality of his accusations, the want
of sense in his comparisons, and
the inconsistency of his position.
Of course the objections pointed
out in the ministers letter have
long been fully understood by Re-
publicans, who have ever given
any thought to the principles adj
vocated by the third party. But
this letter is not the only source
of complaint. He now asserts In
his speeches that he was in the
rebel army only short time and
then when he could not stay at
home. Contradicting this comes a
letter from Kansas City, stating
that the writer heard John A.
Brooks declare in the NJ. L. church
in Sedalia, that he fought through
| the war in the confederate army.
Perhaps he is ashamed of his
war record and recognizes the un-
paralleled amount Of cheek he dis
plays, in asking to be made Vice
President of country he tried tc
destroy. The Kansas City letter
further states that this same tenn.
perance apostle has been an or.
ganizer of A. o. L. W. lodges al,
over Missouri, and that no man il
the state has received greater hon.
ors and emoluments from this
noble order. Yet when requested
| to deliver a funeral Grafton ovel
father Upchurch, the founder OF
the order, he wanted S25 for thu
service.
Nor is this all. He subject!
himself to ridicule by comparing
the Prohibition to the Abolition
party. If there were any compari
son between the two, he shoult
: have learned long ago that an.
great reform, either political o.
t social, to be successful, must b.
t original.
: For years he has been a pro
t fessed preacher of the Gospel, al
[ humble instrument in the hand
of Divinity, to lead men to Sc
n and do the right. After years o
D this work he seems to have los
; faith in this method and be
0 comes one of the leaders of
e political party, asking men t
s bring about by Legislation what h
: has failed to accomplish by hi
e teachings and prayers.
S Whether the accusation that hi
sole incentive to action is the a
j. mighty dollar, is true or not, it
n quite evident that as a preacher h
: is by his own actions a self &C
l. knowledged failure.
