Brace Up.

You are feeling depressed, your
appetite Is poor, you are bothered
with headache, you are fidgetty, ner-
vous, and generally out of sorts,
and want to brace up. Brace up,
not with stimulants, spring medi-
cines, or bitters, which have for
their basis very cheap, bad whisky,
and which stimulates you for an
hour, and then leaves you IN worse
condition than before. What you
want is an alternative that will purify
your blood, start a healthy action
of Liver and Kidneys, restore your
vitality, aud give renewed health
and strength. Such medicine you
will find in Electric Bitters, and only

WE have no objection to Brothe
vlfno2y2

WE have no objection to Brother
Brown, of the Charlton Democrat,
copying articles from the COURIER.
They will furnish his subscribers
good reading, but we hope he Will
not forget to give us credit for them
COURIER, Feb 10, 1888.
Be a little more explicit, Bro. Van
diver, and point out the article we
used without credit, because we do
not know of It and would not will
ingly do so. 1t looks too much like
stealing acorns from a hind hog
Democrat, Feb. %, 1888.
To satisfy Brother Brown we will
"be more explicit" In the issue of
the Democrat of Feb. 9th, 1888, at
the bottom of the first column on the
second page is found an article con-
tanning 22 lines which appeared in
the editorial columns of the COURIER
of Jan 26, 1888, except one word,
"choosen," which the COURIER had
'chosen. We may also add that
the Daily Mlssauri Republican, or
the Kansas City Times, we do not
recollect which, (perhaps both
thought the article of sufficient i'm
portance TO republish it and give the
COURIER due credit therefor. Com.
ment is unnecessary. Everyone can
see where the ''hlind hog" comes in.
We did not call you hog nor imply
that you are one, but, Brother Brown,
"thou sayest it."

territories to be organized into states
under this bill are Dakota, Montana,
New Mexico and Washington. They

SINCE the election of 1854 the
Democratic party has gained 376, 200
votes, as shown by the official figures
of the various state elections. The

Of the eight remaining states,
Florida, louisiana and West Virginia
have had no general election since
1884. Virginia has had no general
election since 1884. Virginia in
creased the plurality of 1884 from
6,1l1 to 1904 in 1885, and lost
some of the increase IN 1887. Indi-
ana at its last state election gave
Republican plurality, but California.
Oregon and Rhode Island, Republ-
can in 1884. have since given Demo
cratic pluralities. In these four
doubtful states the total of the Re-
publican pluraiities of 1884 is Is, ,311;
in the elections of 1867 the Demo-
Gratis overcame this total and had
556 votes over-a gain of 1857 in
the four states. This Democratic
gam and Republican loss added to
261 ,0l5, the Democratic gains in the
fifteen Democratic states, and 99,-
401, the Republican loss in the fif-
teen Republican states, make the
total gain of 376, 900 in Democratic
strength up to last fall. Since then
Mr.. ClevelaE1's message has been
published and the result is seen in
the fact that IN the only election
since held the Republicans lost 1000
in single congressional district
though 1t was one cf the strongest
districts in the United

The ByuHS1pcke,''s statement that
a U. S. senator is to be elected by
the next legislature of Missouri Is
certainly a mistake. Three years
ago this winter Senator Vest was
elected to succeed himself, and last
winter Senator Cockrell was re-elect-
ed. A senator is elected for SIX
years, hence the next general as
sembly Will not be called upon to
perform that duty.

WE still hear something occasion
ally of the Bohemian oats swindle.
A farmer in Michigan after learning
that he was swindled in his pur
chase of Bohemian oats, refused
to pay the note he had given IN the
trade. The lower court decided
against him. He appealed to the
supreme court which reversed the
decision of the lower court, on the
ground that the contract under which
the note was given was fraudulent,
and therefore not binding on the de-
fendant. If this decision of the
Michigan supreme court Is valid,
innoce mt purchasers that have here
tofore sustained the worst of frauds
will have to look little out" for
themselves.

AMONG other things concerning
cattle, we find the following in last
week Issue of the Rural World:
"What is the outlook then after all
this explanation and what has the
future IN store for breeders and
feeders, range men and farmers?
Much everyway. When things come
to the worst they must mend and 1t
is pretty sure they can get no worse
than they have been lately. The
range country is measuratly depict
ed and the men who engaged in the
business without knowledge pretty
well wecded out. There is very lit
ile surplus cattle to be found any
where indeed, for last summers
drouth compelled many farmers to
dispose OF what they had for want
of fodder; hence taken as a whole
there are fewer cattle, feeding or
breeding in the country to day, per
capita, than there were ten years
ago. 1t is apparent from this then,
that for some years to come breed
ing stock must be in demand and
command fairly good prices. We
do not look for these in so manifest
a degree the coming summer because
confidence is not fully restored or
the outcome clearly assured or defin-
ed. But the grading will begin, and,
it is predicted, will be followed by a
series of years of measurable pros
perIty. All thoroughbred stock will
be esteemed and valued on their
grade.''

THE Southwest Missourians held
a convention at Clinton last week
for the purpose o. encouraging
immigration. Governor Morehouse
was there and made a speech.
Among other good things ssid by
the governor we find the following:
Il have had considerable experience
in this immigration business, having
settled IN Northwest Missouri more
than thirty years ago. l have been
identified with the real estate busi-
ness most of the time and have given
considerable time and money to ad-
vertislng that portion of the state
and we have been successful in set
,ling our country with live, energet-
ic citizens who are a source of wealth
to the state, and you can, by judi
cious system of advertising, do as
much for Southwest Missouri. Many
persons have passed through Mis-
souri, and gone to Kansas, when, II
they had stopped with US they would
now have comfortable fortunes and
would not have been compelled to
return to their wives parents to
winter over. / have known many
experiences of this kind, and l trust
the results of this meeting will he to
1
bring to the notice of home seekers
that Southwest Missouri can offer
more inducements than any other
section of the west to live, energetic
people who want homes among as
hospitablc and Christian a people as
there is in any state in the union.

way l can in your undertaking, be-
Ieving thereby great good will be

The sugar trust has just given an
exhibition of itself which proves
that our greatest danger IS not the
organization of labor, but the pool
ing of capital. This sugar trust has
ordered one OF the largest and oldest
refining establishments in the coun-

tn shut down. The proprietors are
as docile as subject of the Car of
Russia would be. They close Their
doors with bang and throw hum
dreds of men out of work in the
