Too Many Youthful Convicrs

from Tue Laffata Fr"SS.
While in jefferson City last week
we visited the penitentiary, and
saw more than 1900 men and boys
marched out in solemn and silent
column to the supper table. Eight
cen hundred men in striped clothes
and deprived of the blessings of
communication n to another (!
Alas, for such a state of thing. But
the saddest feature of the whole
Scene was the thousand boyish faces.
There were more than 1000 of the
number under 20 years of age and
several hundred of them below II
years. 1t is a sickening sight to
see the prevalence of boys within
the walls of the penitentiary. 1t
was conclusive argument to US that
something was wrong. Who is to
blame? Parents, If it. is you it is
high time you were turning your
attention to the rearing of your
children and less attention to the
welfare of the outside world. Begin
at home. Go the penitentiary and
see the little boys there and you
will be constrained to do as did
the sinners on P%entecost, exclaim {:
"What shall We dor" 1t is appal-
ling and should be checked. The
check is at the home hearthstone.

IF a Irvine Trust Exists, 1T VIII do
no Harm-Talks With TWlne
Dealers.

A Irvine trust may exist some
where in this country, but if there
is such a thing, it can do little harm
this year. Nearly ali binder Irvine
dealers have bought their stocks
and are even now quoting prices
within a cent as low as in former
years. One firm in this city has
81, 800 invested in Irvine which IL
already here. They will sell some
ofit-a cheap grade-at Il IL cents.
which is lower than ii sold for last
year. A number Of dealers were
seen this morning and they nearly
all expressed themselves as dlshe-
~lieviug that a trust exists at all.
Mr.. G., Leslie Ferris, proprietor
of the well known Ferris hardware
house, was among those t Mr..
Ferris said: Il have an immense
stock of Irvine on hand and | will
be compelled to sell it at a cent or
two in advance OF last years price.
The reason for this Is Il good one.
There has been no illegitimate ad-
vance and no fictitious price will
be reached. | do not think there
is Il corner in Irvine at all. The
crop is short and the demand much
greater than in former years, hence
the slight advance. The Irvine |
got ID cents for last year, will be
sold at about 10 cents this year."
Mr.. Hill, of the firm Of Clacher
Il Hill, explairad hat there need
he no fear of a corner in twIne, I'M
less the demand proves far larger
than dealers anticipate. He says
that ali the cordage companies
bought enough Irvine for the trade
long before the trust was formed.
They are selling at the regular
market price and unit; it is all used
up, the trust will not be called up
on. Mr.. Hill thinks there is enough
Irvine on the market to supply the
demand until Il new crop is raised.
Clacher 4 Hill will sell Irvine to
Mccormick customers at from II IL
to 16 cents.
Mr.. Jas. Garrett said: "There
is no trust. Irvine will be slightly
higher than last year, but from nat
ural causes"
W. s. Hathaway: II think the
Irvine trust will go the way of the
copper combine-to pieces. will
sell twine this year at a low price"

A NASTY FLING.

Governor Francis yesterday ap-
pointed Col. Robert A. Campbell to
succeed Judge Noonan on the GRIM
inal bench. The appointment may
be considered a good one from the
standpoint of fitness, but there will
be a feeling of general regret that
the compliment did not go to Col.
Claiborne, whose preferment the
Democracy of the State confidently
anticipated.-Mexieo I~atcIiigencer.
The Democracy of Missouri did
not anticipate anything of the
kind. Why should it? Col. Bob
Claiborne has a good office. If he
had been appointed, our contempo-
rary and other journals, which are
trying to keep up strife in the
party and break down the admins
t~ration, would have raised a dismal
howl and said he had one office and
should be left to serve his time out,
and our contemporary in the above
almost says it would have ''hol-
iered' murder and claimed that
"Unele Bob was not as fit" for the
place as Campbell. We consider
the above a nasty screed, intended
solely to break down the admins
tration and injure the party, and
all because its writer can't name
the appointees. Fitness" as re-
ferred to by the editor ofour worthy

SHIPPERS IN CONFERENCE.
They Want Local Inspection, But
Did Not Endorse the Pending
Bills.
From the Ietrer on CITY Tribune.

~'l ftb
The stock shippers who were
here to confer with the freight
managers also held a meeting of
conference among themselves, de-
batting the question of local inspec-
ton.
Mr.. [. J. Sims, of Mexico, was
opposed to any such legislation.
He thought it was only a question
of time If local inspection was
adopted, when geese, ducks and
chickens would have to be inspected
on hoof, and soon thereafter there
would arise a cry for the inspection
of vegetables. He thought the sani-
tary clauses of the bill we're to it's
real intention what the sugar coat
ing Is to a quinine pill. 1t was only
a blind to make the measure pal
pable to the supreme court. In his
opinion the object ofthe bill was to
tear down the meat-packing indus
tries Of the State.
Senator Clay thought the pending
local inspection bills were not good
measures. The one pending in the
house had an amendment exempt
ing farmers from having the stock
butchered by them inspected, and
in his opinion that provision open
ed the doors wide enough to annul
the whole bill.
A resolution was finally agreed
upon which urged the enactment of
a local inspection law, but did not
endorse any of the pending bills.
