OcCuItation of Jupiter.

The stars scintillated their bright
est last night about $50 o'clock, as
Jupiter crept up to Luna quite unbe-
known and slipped out of sight be-
meath the skirts of the bright-robed
queen of night. Star starers were
well rewarded for their observation.
The night was cloudless at that hour.
The moon was well assembled toward
the zenith. The air was clear and
vision unobscured, and as Jupiter
moved slowly after his mistress, grad
ually annihilating space until he
melted into indistinctness on the hem
of her garment and was lost to sight
in her luminosity, the sight was a
luxury to amateur astronomers. The
planet was invisible tor about an hour.
then reappeared and gradually drew
away from the moon as his sWifter
cOursers wheeled his chariot down
the western sky.

carrying Goals to Newcastle" is the
old expression used in England where
anything is carried where it is already
in abundance. There is deal of that
kind of operation in Missouri. What
an example is seen in Butler county
where good hay land may be be bought
for five dollars an acre and vet at the
county seat hundreds, probably
thousand tons of hay are annually
bought from the cities; where pota-
toes are easily raised and yet thous-
ands of bushels are every year brought
from the North. Is it not like "carry-
ing Goals to Newcastle" to carry wat
ermelons to Poplar Bluff or anv other
town in Southeast Missouri? When
region cannot produce any crop with
profit it should buy that crop from
where it is profitable, but no eff,rt
should DE spared by farmers to supply
the home market and merchants are
hut injnriEg themselves who fail to
patronize home produce and give them
reasonable prices. "-Popiar Bluff CHI

A Warning.

A meeting of the state wheel was
recently held in Arkansas, and from
reports it seems that the membership
has been dropping off rapidly. A dis
patch regarding the same says:
"Whep at the zenith of its prosperity two
years ago, the wheel bad 4 membership in
Arkansas of 5000. Since then, however, 1t
has been on q very rapid decline, until now
it has scarcely half that number. Its state
organ has suspended and many of Its subOr-
dinate lodges have been totally abandoned.
The attempt to drag the wheel into politics
accounts largely for its dlsintegration.
Coupled with this there has been disap
pointment among many farmers who had
locked to their order to make times better
ana accomplish results for individ lais."
This statement may not be correct,
but 1t is admitted that the organza-
ton has lost heavily in Arkansas on
account OF politics. The republicans
have persistently tried to use the wheel
not only in Arkansas but elsewhere.
and this has caused all the trouble.
The wheelers in Missouri should pr III
by the Arkansas blunder and very
promptly give the politicians to nm.
derstand that they cannot use the
organization to further political
schemes. Boss Filley and 9th er leaders
have an eye on the wheel now and
Just as certain as they gain a foothold
the order will sufter.-Jeferson City
Tribune.

The REGISTER last week published
the Perryville SUMS eul"gy on the
editor of the defunct Perryville Ctron-
icle. The late Chronicle man is now
publisher of the Bonnie Terre Register
and he replies to the Sun as follows:
Since we have left Perryville, where we
published newspaper for nearly fouryears,
the Democratic organ of that town has sud
denly grown amazingly brave, and has pub.
lished Il history of our career there, colorihg
it to SUIT his prejudices and the views of his
hackers of the chronic office seeking persua-
sion, who we believe are so thoroughly dead
that we can trust the good, honest people of
Perry county to bury them at the next cleo
ton. 1t may become necessary for us to
publish a review of our journalistic career
in Perryvlle, including history of the
county safe burglary trials, the mining op
erations, Southeast Missouri history litiga-
ton and sundry other matters, in which a
comparison of what people gained by follow
ing our advice with how they prospered
financially and otherwise by siding with the
ring politicians, will make very interesting
reading, and will also show that the court
house combine of Democratic bosses and
assistant Democrats who claim to be Repub.
licans, have ample cause to eXecrate us with
all their might. The fact is, that Perryville
is thickly strewn with dead and fatally
wounded Democratic politicians together
with 4 few sulking Republicans who train
with them, and it will require some time for
US to get rid of the foul odor with which the
decaying political cadavers and fostering
political wounds Of the crippled politicians
have poisoned the moral atmosphere of Per-
ryyille.

Scott County NeWSb0y: "Of course
the saloon men are not very jubilant
over the signing of the Newberry bill
by Gov. Francis, but how could he do
otherwise? The bill had passed both
houses by a large majority and there
was no reason why LIE should not sign
it. Besides the governor does not owe
the saloons of this state any part of his
election. The saloon element slipped
the halter over their own necks when
they used their combined efforts to de-
feat Democracy in Missouri. Accord
ing to the new law the saloons will not
be commonly used as resort for idle
men and chronic loungers. We have
many faults to find with the bill, one
of which is the prohibiting of music in
parks and gardens where people in the
cities go to drink their beer and spend
an evening i'm outdoor exercise, but
when we look at the 10, 900 Republican
majority in st. Louis last fall and then
the Democratic majority received by
Noonan this spring, there is no doubt
that the saloon is q political machine
and must be kept under by legisla-
sion."

ReciDrOcate.

For years and years the doctrine
has been preached that the cotton
planter should diversity his crops. and
| that it was a ruinous policy for him to
buy his bacon; and under existing
conditions that has been good teaching
and sound doctrine that should have
been needed much more than it has
been. But if the North and South, if
all the agriculturists of this country,
will cooperate and pull together there
| is better remedy. The true principle
of political economy may then be adj
vocated, and that is to say that If the
North can raise meat cheaper than
the South, it should be devoted to that,
and if the South can raise cotton cheap
er than the North, II should be devot-
ed to that. See how this would work
when evaporation bet tween the differ
ent sections has provided tor direct
exchange. The farmer of the South
has been getting an average of s cents
for his cotton, and the farmer of the
North has been paying an average of
about 81 cents per pound for his cot
ton goods. The farmer of the North
las been getting about cents for his
dressed pork, and the farmer of the
South has probably paid an average
of IA cents for his bacon. If the price
OF freight and manufacture be deduct
ed and the difference divided-that is
to say, if it cost cents pound for
freight and manufacture, the cotton is
selling for "a cents that was bought
at 8, and if the difference be divided
between the farmer North and South,
the latter would sell his cotton fer Is
cents and the former would buy at that
figure, plus freight and manufacture,
or % cents per pound; he would buy 8
cents, or about 25 per cent, cheaper
all of his cotton goods, while the COT
ton-raiser would sell for cents more
per pound, or all advance of 100 per
cent. on past prices. The same prin-
ciples affect the bacon, grain, and
every thing else raised by the one and
consumed by the other. If it cost 4
cents per pound for freight and man.
ufacture Of bacon, it would show the
difference in price from the producer
to the consumer TO be cents per pound;
this divided would give 81 cents to the
farmer for the dressed pork, and make
tie bacon cost the consumer 105 On an
average, or saving of 25 per cent. to
the latter and "a gain Of 100 nor cont

Says the Philadelphia Record: SIN
England the price of sugar is three
cents per pound less than in this coun-
try. Under the precious tariff system
the duty on refined sugar is so high
that the sugar trust can run the price
up at will without incurlng any risk
of foreign competition. A few years
ago there was large export trade in
refined sugar, and the sugar OF this
country was sold in considerable guam
titles in England in competition with
the beet-root products of the CONT
nent; but the members of the sugar
trust concluded to abandon the foreign
trade and compel American consum-
ers to pay more for a smaller quantity
OF production. This they are enabled
easily to do behind the tariff wall. In
order, therefore, 20 enjoy all other like
advantages and blessings of the tariff
system, American consumers must pay
for one of the commonest necessaries
of life just what the sugar trust may
choose to demand"

grain. carrying off wheat stacks, oats
and hay in the shocks in many places,
also injuring the corn crops in the bot
