He CaIled q HaIt.

At a recent wedding in Boston, a
young authoress who is still old
enough to be married, in response
to some playful taunt, turned to
the little eight-year-old son of q
friend standing near: Franz, dear, :
said the lady, "won't you marry
me9 Do say you'll have me and
I'll write you book every year. .
To everybody's surprise the little
fellow considered a moment, and
then replied: "There are plenty
of other books to read. and there
are too many men marrying women
older than themselves nowadays. y
The well-bred murmur of laughter
that greeted this rally was shared
by the merry young writer, as the
recent discussion regarding the
matrimonial ventures of two artists
had evidently made an impression
on the young man who proposed te
stop the thing right there.

MEXICO, MISSOURI THURSDAY, MAY Il 1885 8
We are not at all surprised to see

We are not at all surprised to see
reputable journals of the State
come out and accuse Morehouse
of not being perfect in his habits,
and s'poker player Of reputa-
ton. d. r. Francis is making the
canvass for Governor strictly on his
merits and the record he has made
as public servant and private
citizen, saying nothing against any
other candidate. Everywhere he
goes the Morehouse politicians fling
"grain gambler" at him. They
urge no reason why Morehouse
should be nominated, but claim
that D. r. Francis is "grain
gambler" This is untrue. Fran
els buys and sells the actual stuff
and is friend of the producer.
Morehouse is quoted as saying in a
st. Louis paper this week that one
of the candidates for Governor was
afraid to have his character dis
cussed and wanted early conven-
tions. If AL. Morehouse wants to
make this race for Governor de-
pend on character, he will get all
he wants of it. The Governor. of
Missouri making such a canvass of
the State for reelection is enough
to disgust decent people. AL.
Morehouse running around the
State preaching up prohibition"
and preaching down s'grain gam
bling" is a sight to make dog
sick. The Democratic party bet
ter put the fire out and move..when
such a high official makes such a
canvass of such State for such an
Office. To say the least, it is dirty,
disgusting, ,demoralizing and down.
right demagogery. D. R. Fran
cis' character, private and public,
is above reproach. Morehouse
casts the "first stone-let him look
out for his bay windows.

"That is one ofthe saddest cases
/ have ever known Of" said Capt.
Caldwell, the guardian of the
county Jail, to reporter, and the
old Indian fighter wiped away a
tear. "The young man was con-
victed a few days ago ofvagrancy, !"
he continued, "and is now serving
out sentence. He was a young
man who had every advantage in
his youth. His parents sent him
to school, but he was not stuck on
it and he went from bad to worse
as he grew older, and now be is
taken up as common vagrant.
ssIn this case l do not think
there is any chance of reform; he
is too fare gone. Boys don't seem
to know how to start right in life.
They should get up and dig for
themselves. Now I once knew
boy who was very industrious
while youth. His father was a
shoemaker. Instead of wasting
his time playing ball or other idle
sports after school, he would go to
his fathers shop and monkey with
the tools, until in few years he
got to be quite expert. One day
he told his father he would strike
out for himself. The old man told
his son he thought he was old
enough to speed alone, and it
would be a very good idea for the
youth to strike ext 1t fe- his fortune
Full of bright hopes and a square
meal, and with his kit of shoe
makers tools, he started out. Now
there's a boy for you. He never
hired a buggy on Sunday after
noon and blew in a weeks salary
in trying to cut a swell. This was
a plain, everyday young man who
never wore cuffs, except those his
father gave him. He did not wear
wide pants with crease down the
front, or stand around on the
street corners every evening. No,
sir. That boy had stuff in him.
"Well, I never heard of him

The candidacy of Mayor Francis
is assuming many of the phases
which characterized that of Gov.
Marmaduke. His strength is chief
ly with the masses of the people.
He has incurred the bitter hostil-
ity of the machine politicians.
These self-constituted leaders of
the party, who divide their time
between railroad lobbying and run
ming the party, who are valuable to
the railroads because they are
Democrats, and are valuable Gin
the estimate of solne) to the De-
mocracy because they control rail-
road 'sinflooence," are dead against
him. The Mayor is as fortunate in
his opposition as he is in his sup
port. The people love him for the
enemies he has made. The nomi-
nation of Gov. Marrnaduke proved
that the masses can and viii nomi-
nate a Governor in spite of the
politicians. There has never been
a period where there was such a
deep-seated determination to put
in place pure and safe men and the
best guarantee of purity and safety
that can be furnished is the oppo-
sition of a certain class of politi-
cians.-Columbia Herald.

Gov. MoREHoUsE and his organs
are to blame for the kind of lit
erature now beginning to appear,
as follows, from the Rails County
Guide.
1t is little amusing and some
what humilating to hear people re-
fer to Gov. Morehouse as ga farmer
and farmers friend, "and to Mayor
Francis as antagonistic to the farm
er's interests, when in truth and
fairness Gov. Morehouse, since the
war, in which he made something
of "home guard" reputation, of
which he seems proud and men,
tions in his announcement, has
been practcing law at Maryville,
county seat of Nodaway county,
and knows as little about farmers
and the farming interests as the
average lawyer. On the other
hand Mayor Francis is business
man and is one of the largest ex-
porters of grain in the State, and
has done as much or more than any
other man to keep the price Of
grain upon shipping basis-that
of supply and demand. 1t is
charged by ''mud singers, and
without the semblance of fact or
proof, that he is a grain gambler.
To this charge Mayor Francis
pleads not guilty, and invites in
vestigation and refers those seeking
the truth to the better. classes of
business men in the State, and
particularly in St. Louis, for the
better element of society and of
politicians are supporting him,
while the saloons and hummer
element are fighting him. We
could offset this charge against the
Mayor by a counter charge of poker
playing and card gambling against
Merehouse, and could prove it too,
but this is neither decent or COM
mendable way of wois;;ag against
candidates in the same party, al
though the Morehouse men are
responsible for such of it as has
been indulged in. AS Democratic
journal, the Guide expects to sup
port the man who gets the nomi-
nation, and every Journalist who
has proper respect for his pro-
fession should refrain from making
lunwarranted and unnecessary
charges against candidates for high
places, so that after the nomina-
ton, and the contest begins be-
tween the standard-be of the
grand Democratic party and the
robber-tariff Republican party,
with all of its issue and frauds, he
will not be handicapped by any
personal filings he might have
made before the meeting of the
nominating convention

JOHN PuaH PULLED.
Another Member OF the Royal
Nine IN Duranoe-He is
Bound Over.

John Pugh was rearrested
Thursday for havinga q hand in some
of the raids of "The Royal Nine,
last winter. He was released q
few days ago. as no evidence was
introduced against him at the Ap-
gar inquest. Pugh is said to bear
a bad reputation in Glasgow, where
he lives, and since his release the
local officers have had an eye on
him. George Mortimer declared
yesterday that Pugh was the man
who accompanied the party Of
thieves on the night R. E. Hisey's
residence on South Jefferson street
was robbed. Pugh was according
ly arrested this morning and taken
before Squire Winscott for hear
ing. Judge Forrest was his lawyer.
George Mortimer was the first
witness sworn. Pugh's s lawyer OBJ
ljected to the character of the testi.
mony, on the ground that Mortim-
er, having served term in the
penitentiary, was not qualified to
testify. He withdrew his objec.
ton, however, and Mortimer pro.
ceeded to relate that he knew Pugh;
that he had seen him on several
occasions and that he was one OF
the party that robbed the residence
of R. E. Hisey several months ago.
Pugh was placed on the stand in
his own behalf. He testified thai
he knew Mortimer by sight only
had shot craps with him. He de.
MED having any knowledge of the
burglary in question.

oner over until the June term o.
