G. E. BUCKLE,
EDITOR OF THE LONDON TIMES.

Charges brought by the London
Times against the leaders of the Irish
party have resulted in two inquiries
of commanding Importance. The first
of these is an action against the news
paper, brought by Mr.. Parnell in the
Scotch courts, of which more will be
heard shortly; and the second, the
appoin tment, by parliament. of what
is known as the Parnell commission,
the business of which is to investigate
the charges. The point of the inquiry
in both instances is, whether or not
Mr.. Parnell was the writer of certain
letters, fac-similes of which were
printed in the Times, and which are
believed to express approval OF the
Phoenix Park murder. Mr.. Parnell
was at first, and for long time, con-
tent with denying the charge brought
against him. His friends and his
enemies alike eagerly await the result
of the inquiries instituted.
Mr.. Parnell is now applying him
self to preparation for the next sitting
of the commission, over which Mr..
Justice Hammer will preside and the
Times is energetically devotlng Its
ltSOuICCo vi LiViiS.f ohNt
ability to make out its case. Mean
while it is interesting to note how OPP
posite are the expectations of what
will happen on the part of those who
love and who do not love Mr.. Parnell
and his cause. The Times makes its
allegations against the Irish party,
and sixty-tive Irish members of par
lament have filed atfidavits of an
swer. 1t is doubted whether enlarg-
ing the scope of the inquiry thus far
will be permitted by the commission.
Mr.. Buckle, the editor of the Times,
is the gentleman who has brought
about this ado. There is no doubt that
he hates Parnellism, and there is no
doubt also that his paper has lost
something Of its old time dignity by
reason of the strength of this feeling
AS editor of the most influential news
paper in the world, Mr.. Buckle can
hardly afford, one thinks, to weaken
it by displays of petulance.

talked with them. The party also
took carriages and visited the mis-

We Poets Lament That He CouI6
Not Wear That Harri-
son Hat.
Some time ago we'll known citizen
was under an obligation to another,
and, in a grateful mood, said to the
latter "What sized hat do you
wear?" "Seven and one-fourth" was
the reply; "but why?" "Well, I'm
going to give you Harrison hat in
return for your services to me-" The
proffer was modestly accepted though
not expected. Next day the gentle
man called and regretted that he
couldn't get what he wanted in the
city, but had ordered hat for his
kind friend. Time passed enough TO
make and dispatch car load of hats.
but the hat came not to him, who had
expected it.
This morning the proposed donor
received a post card on which was
written:
Once on time grateful man.
Sat down aud had n chat.
And .rbmi-ed one, who d service done.
Harrison hlgh hat
The yra rfur man went ON his way
The others cow del eyed.
For ne doesn't rhink nell wear that hat
TIL Harrisnn'S elected?
A d perhaps not then
Now the proposed donor is a gentle
man in every way, one of your most
popular citizens. He had, like many
others, forgotten the promise, but you
can bet your sweet life that true to his
word, we poet will soon sport that
Harrison hat.

OOO-An Increase Since the Last Assess

ing Facts and Figures-Tabulated State
ment of Wealth, Increase and Decrease
by Counties.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Feb. 29.-The fol-
lowing is a tabulated statement of the
abstract of the assessment returns of 1887
for the taxes of 1888, as copied from the
returns now on file in the State Auditors
Office and also table showing the in
crease or decrease of valuation OF the
several count ties, as compared with the
assessments of 1886 for its taxes of
1897 No returns have been re-
ceived from Adair, Cape G1rardeau,
Scotland, Stone, Vernon and Wright
counties and the City of st. Louis. AS
Stunning that they will at least return
as great an assessment as in 1856. the
total taxable wealth of the State will
reach 1871, 1914, 730. or an increase over the
previous assessment of $S1, 45o, 4S4. But
the city of st. Louis will likely increase
her returns by many millions in which
event the total wealth of Missouri will
probably reach in round numbers $780,.
10000, to which should be added the
assessment of railroad bridges and tele
graphs, estimated at $50, 900. 900, swelling
the aggregate valuation to $780, 100000
In the following it will be seen that
thirty-six counties show a falling off from
1856 of nearly $s,000,O00. These are Atch-
ison, Bates, Benton, Bollinger, Caldwell,

THE PROPHETS AGAIN.

The European War Prophets Now Sc,
the Time When the Dogs Will BE Let
Slip at May OF June-The Gar Mean
while Engaged in Considering II Gigantic
Scheme in Connection with Syndicate
of Money Kings.
LONDON, Feb. 29.-The disappointed
prophets who confidently ann bounced
bloody winter now assure US that war is
certain in May or June at the latest. The
suggestions of Prince Bismarck to the
Gar in regard to Bul gara, it is stated by
these far-sighted individuals. are mere
snares to catch the Russian bear if he is
deluded int o forcing Prince Ferdinand, out
of his newly adopted country. The as.
sumption that Germany really wishes
war with Russia is but a probable
one, and it is not unlikely that
the former would be glad tc
see Russ las attention diverted to any
direction but the German frontiers. There
is a growing belief III high quarters that
Prince Bismarck is sincere in his Ipro-
claimed desire for a prolonged peace,
and if he can convinces the Gar of the
honesty of his protestations the northern
potentate may seriously consider a prof.
sct, the magnitude of which will COM
mand respect, even in this day of gigantic
undertakings. The scheme in question
consists primarily in the naturalization
0I q tract OF tranS-IaucaSlan territory
extending from the Caspian to the
Euxine seas, including the oil-fields
Of Baku and the railway between the two
waters. Under a guarantee from Russia,
Endorsed by Germany and Austria, the
strip is to be leased to a syndicate con-
sisting of several Eurapoean capitalists
Of world wide renown, one very wealthy
American resident in Europe and another
fabulously rich one who is investigating
the scheme in question. The petroleum
Of the Baku district is to be produced by
me thods more economical than those now
in vogue, and will be placed upon the
European markets at price which will
defy American competition and seriously
affect existing interests. The bare msn-
ton of the project has caused much un-
aasiness in Antwerp. were the handlers OF
the American product see themselves
threatened still more seriously than ever,
if, as anticipated, the products of the
American refineries are to be equaled by
better methods. The infiammable gas of
the peninsula at Apsheron has been
reverenced by the Parsees for
generations, and it Is but now
that the possibility of it's practical
use has been conceived. The supply Is
illimit able, and the ores of the Ural can
be easily and cheaply transported to the
required locality. The cost of the plant,
the doubtful security of the tenure and
other considerations, may well make the
oldest capitalists pause before investing
the enormous amount of money necessary
to secure success, but that success would
probably mean ruin to the iron masters of
England and Belgium.
