The story of the play is of exciting Interest,
and appeals strongly to the sympsthIes ana

ture. The self sacrificing love of a mother
FOR her child, the sutferiGgs of . wfonged

among the poor ccrttssted with its hard
ships and gloomy surroundings, are a
phases of life which are treated naturally.

Mr.. Arthur H. Forrest.

pablican boss, 30 w. r. Kitchens,
another Republican. dated Oct. 18Th.
The following extracts are. mighty in
teressing reading, as Horace Greely
used to say:
Yours Of the 18th here. i do not suppose
you think OF trading of votes against Hick-
man, the Wheeler candidate for State Sena-
tor. This would be manifestly a mistake.
You ought to stand by all organizations that
BY Implication are allies and certainly the
Wheeler organization is fighting our COM
mon enemy, and / should not do any swap-
ing that would lose a vote to Mr.. Hickman,
the Wheeler candidate. Do
not be alarmed about Kimball and all our
State Ticket. That is out of the .ooods. All
of the people are helping it and we ought to
recognize their work as necessary to it.
Stand by Hickman. Very truly yours,
JAS. T. BEACH.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Kimbal was and
is not tout of the woods,u notwith.
standing the Republican compact with
all the factions, the dives, and the dis
reputable city liqnor elements. A
pretty God-aBd-morality party, truly!

For brazen '.cheek," )" for utter poIit-
ical mendaclty. and recklessness of as
sertion, the Poplar Bluff Republic
beats the world in the following para
graph:
The recent election was terrible blow to
troll of the trusts know full we'll. The sugar
trust wasted vast sum of money to sustain
party that has been badly defeated. The
whiskey trust is now threatened with early
destruction. The standard oil trust will
soon no longer be represented in the cabinet
of the president. The salt trust of Europe
and America is defeated in its plans. The
next thing in order is to stamp the trusts
out, not only by national but by state legis-
lation. 1t can and should be done.
The first sentence is false, the second
is false, the third is platformic but also
false, the fourth is false, and the fifth
is false. The sixth is true, but accord
ing to Jim Blaine, the Republican "un-
crowned king" who is the power be-
hind the throne, "trusts are private
affairs" with which the citizen has
nothing to do. The last sentence is
the only truth-absolute truth-in the
paragraph, and even it is not true so
long as money and monopoly rule the
country through their creature, the
Republican party. On which side,
pray, were the trusts and monopolies
during the late contest? How much
"fat" was fried out of them for the
Democratic party, and to whom did
Chairman Quay appeal for funds to run
the campaign? Was it not to the mo.
nopolies who form the trusts? Your
party abolish trusts? Why it created
them, and fostered them, until noY
they are greater and stronger thar
their creator. Republican ascendancy
destructive to trusts! You tax publ.

| Republic.

"To the victor belongs the hespoils." Which
leads us to remark that on or after March

which leads to fame and fortune. Bro.

Ihe Government PTIntlnS OInce at w ASH
ington City is one of the largest and most
expensive humbugs connected with the
government machinery. 1t is said by some
of the best informed practical printers in
the country that the cost of printing is from
100 to 200 per cent. ABOVE what it would cost
to have the work done by contract, in priv
ate establishments. Why the Government
of the United States should go into the print.
ing business at all, any more than into max
ing brick or lumber or iron, or building cars
and running railroads and shops is conun-
drum that is hard to find out.-Bonne Terre
Register.
Our contemporary is right, and in
this connection we have an additional
complaint. Not only does the govern
ment printing-office do the government
work, but it encroaches directly on
private enterprise in pointing for pri-
vate individuals. A gentleman came
into this Office q few weeks aago and
showed ms box OF stamped envelopes
with his business card printed thereon,
at rate per thousand that no private
establishment could compete with. 1t
struck us as rather unjust that we
should be taxed to support a competit-
or in business. The Government Print
ing Office ought to go.

The following paragraph could have
been written, after the election, only
by.a person so STEPPED in partisan pref
udice as is the editor of the Poplar
Bluff Republic. It is about on par
with his defence of the stealing OF the
Presidency in 1875:
What particularly aggravates the Britons,
is that they tamely submitted to direct
snub to their minister to avoid iniurtng the
party they wished to have win and hoped to
use for their own benefit, only to see that
party overwhelmed. 1t is now too late to
complain. They have never admired Cleve-
lands administration, however subservient
to their interests. Now they will despise it.,
Perhaps. then, it is Grover Cleveland,
and not Levi P. Morton, who Is one OF
a British banking firm in London, and
& director of q Canadian railway. These
are about the only british Interests"
that any American citizen wishes to
aubserve, that we know of. Blame it
all, Geo. 81. Crumb, quit talking rot!

feeling Of the people, / copy herewith from
faded and torn clipping of brown paper,
that looks as if ii had been boiled in coffee
pot, the following extract from the Rich
mond Examiner:
Never since the humiliation Of the Doge and
Senate OF Genoa before the foofstoo of Louis XIV,
has any nation consented TO degradation so deep.
III Lincoln and Seward intended to give them up
why did they capture our AnbassadorsE why the
exultaut hurFsh over the event that went up frcn1

RentleInen, their close confinement and the blood
Thirsty acts of Congress in their regard? But most
cfan why did the Government of Lincoln indulgea q
full Cabinet with an unanimous resolution, should
the United States surrender Messrs. Mason and
SlideIl s.? Why did they at the first grow of the
British Lion. take back the assertion that the
United States Government and the people had
sworn great oath to stand on the ground they had
taken"
Tie American Eagle was brought out; he
eoreeched bis londest scteech Of despair, then

The universal Yankee Nation are known the
world over the suckers Of creation, and we VIII

When the news of
THE CAPTURE OF MASON AND sLIDELL
reached Richmond there was a general re-
joicing, as it was assumed that 1t would, as
q matter of course, lead to war with Eng
land. Their hopes Of recognition were
blasted. however, by Mr.. Stewards diplo-
macy, and that hurt the Examiner badly.
There were no earthworks about Rich
mond of any Importance whatever during
the year 1851. This is q fact which is not gem
erally known. Some months after the date
