Vest will Succeed Himself.

The Republican papers OF Missou-
ri seem to be worried a good deal
about the election of a successor to
Senator Vest. It is little early to
discuss the matter. especially as
dog days are upon US, but it will not
hurt anything to remind our friends
the enemy, that when the time comes
for the election of a Senator from
this great and glorious common
wealth they will not be consulted.
Who will succeed Vest? Why Vest
of course. All this talk about Gov.
Francis aspiring to that honor is
moonshine. The man does not live
who could make the least headway
against Vest; and unless he is far
more dull of comprehension than we
believe him to be, nobody knows
this better than Gov. Francis.
Senator Vest deserves the loyal
support of every Democrat in Mis-
souri,, and he will come SO near get
ting it that by the time the leg isla-
ture assemblies two years hence, the
corporal's guard of gentlemen who
imagine they are fighting him will be
glad to drop the subject and join in
the procession.-St. Joseph Gazett

The following document has been
received from the editor-postmaster
at Mount Carmal, ILL.,:
Mount Carmal, ILL.,, juno Z, 1889.
To Hon. B. Harrison, president,
Sir:-By the grace of God and
Grover Cleveland, I am postmaster
at Mount Carmal. My official term
will expire Jan 20, 1890. In addi-
ton to editing the mails Of this city
I am also editor OF the Mount Car
NAL Register, live local, Democrat
ic newspaper, established in 1889,
and published at $1,25 year, cash
in advance; a discount Of 20 per cent
to ministers and presidents.
While the Office has agreed with
me, and l have in the main agreed
with tho office, and while 1 might
reasonably entertain the hope of
holding on for eight months longer,
yet 1 feel it my duty to tender you
my resi- gnation.
Being Democrat, I have preach
ed that ''to the victors belong the
spoils." I feel disposed to practice
that which I preach.
Your immediate predecessor
hoped to build up his party by Keep
ing the opposition in Office. You
are probably aware. if you are at all
familiar With the vocabulary of true
and trite sayings, that his name is
now Dennis.
I am moved further to tender you
my resignation because Of the ankle
ty of a barnyard full of patriots to
succeed me. I believe that a tariff
is tax. They do not. Therefore
they are of your own kith and kin
dred, and he who provides not for
his own household is worse than an
1nfidel. I am told that you are not
built that way.
But to resume the thread of my
discourse: The boys who are anx-
lous to be my successors are very
hungry; they have been feeding on
shucks and icicles for four long,
weary years; the official calf is fat
and they yearn to taste it's tender
JOINTS. They fought (among them
selves), they bled (at the nose), and
are willing to die for the g. o. p.
When l asserted that you were the
Chinaman's candidate and ate rat
tail soup with chopsticks they swore
by Dudley and Foster that it was
a campaign canard and threatened
to detail blocks of five to fry the
fat out OF me. Fortunately for me
their threats were never carried in
to execution, They carried torches,
drank with the coons, sang Grand
pas hat will just fit Benny" and
did divers and many foolish things,
none of which would they have been
guilty of doing had they not scented
an aroma of Postoffice on the crisp
morning air. And the p@ans of
praise which they sounded when it
became evident that you had SCOT
there Eli" will never be a Sahara in
my memory.
For these and other reasons, un.
necessary to mention, tender my
resignation, with the hope that my
successor will be animated bv q
similar spirit in 1893. If he is, you,
Democratic successr will be spared
the painful necessity Of turning tn,
rascals out"

WEDNESDAY, JULY 81, 1889.
PAUSE AND CONSIDER.

Alderman ID. 1t. Newsom publish
cd . card in last weeks Democrat,
in which he incorporated an order
passed by the Board Of Aldermen of
the city of Butler on May 18th,
1889. We Gull the following clause
from that order:
"Ordersd that hereafter the clerk
shall issue warrants bearing interest
at 10 per cent. per annum, if not
paid ON demand, and that warrants
be issued to said Walton & Tucker
Investment Co., to pay interest on
their bonds, now due, and ono per
cent. additional be paid them to let
tho bonds run for another year,
making the amount ten per cent. in
stead of nine per cent. as hereto
fore"
The Board in making the above
order was certainly not advised as
to the law governing cities of the
4th class in reference to issuing
warrants, or we are satisfied this or
der never would have been made.
As bearing upon this question we
quote the following sections of the
revised statutes of Missouri, 1879,
which sections, We are reliably in
formed, have meyer been amended:
Sec. 4971. "No money shall be
paid out of the treasury except on a
warrant signed by the mayor; and
no warrant shall be drawn, nor no
ordinance appropriat;ng money shall
be passed unless there is an unex-
pended balance to the credit of the
city, to meet such warrant or ordi-
nance out of the revenue provided
for the current year" Sec. 5003.
"Any member or officer who shall,
IN his official capacity, or under
color of his Office knowingly,
or willfully, or corruptly vote for or
assent to or report in favor of or al
low, or certify for allowance, any
claim or demand against the city,
which claim or demand shall be on
account or under color of any con-
tract or agreement not authorized
by or in pursuance to the provisions
OF this article or ordinance of the
city, shall be deemed guilty of
misdemeanor and shall, upon con-
viction thereof be punished by inn
prisonment in Jail for not more than
one year orfine not exceeding $780,"
It there is any statute authorizing
the board of aldermen or any of it's
officers to pay interest on warrants
we are not advised as to where it is
to be found. If there is anv legal
authority for this manner of doing
business the columns of the TINES
are open to any one who can show
1t. We are satisfied that no mem
ber of the board of aldermen has
meant to willfully violate the law in
this matter, and, if it is a violation,
they will no doubt hasten to rectifv
the same since it is pointed out to
them.

Astoria Silk Mills at Long Island
City, was until recently coachlnan
for Mr.. Van Den Esch, the super
intendent Of the mills. MIR. Van
Den Esch has a lovely daughter,
Mary. Siller fell in love with her
dark hair and large eyes, and his
martial bearing and handsome face
won her heart. One day Siller
plucked up couragc and asked the
superintendent for his daughters
hand. Van Den Esch said mo"
ald forbade the young lover ever
to come near his house again on
any pretext. Last Saturday even
ing Mary. uniformed her mother that
she was going to call on a friend
and would not be home until late
She took a street car to Thirty
fourth street ferry, where Siller met
her. They went over to New York
and were married. On their return
home her father forgave her, but
her mother refused to do so, and,
opening the door, ordered the couple
out of the house. Tears and pray
ers failed to move her. The young
couple left the house, Mary weep
ing, Siller defiant. He took his
bride to his furnished rooms, where
they are at present living. On
Monday morning, when Siller pre-
sented himself at the mills for work,
his father-in-law installed him in a
better place than be had before oc-
cupied, and very sensibly showed
that now it was done, he proposed
to accept the situation and make
the best of it. Later in the day
Mary went to her father and asked
for work in the mills. She said she
wanted to help her husband. Her
wish was complied with and she
bravely went to work. The proba-
bilities now are that the mother
will soon relent and all will be
serene, and in the language of the
fairy-tales, "they will live happy
forever after"

THIS has been an extremely mil

THIS has been an extremely mild
winter all over the country, but
Dakota has not escaped scenes of
suffering in spite of it. News comes
that near Hitchcock two school
children persisted in a storm last
week, and a third was not expected
to survive the exposure. The chill
dren were Of the same family and
had been taken to school in the
morning by an older brother, who
told them to remain until he came
for them. The children of other
families were taken to their homes
and assistance was proffered these
three, but they were so sure their
brother would come that they re-
fused to leave the school house. 1t
seems the brother did start but
could not make the team face the
storm, and so gave it up. The chill
dren waited till dusk and then
started home, but lost the road and
wandered in the deep snow until
exhausted. When found in the
morning, the two little boys were
dead, and their sister, who was the
oldest, SO badly frozen that if she
lives she will lose her lower limbs.

4 MEMORIAL has been presented
to the Senate protesting against the
admission of New Mexico as state
OF the Union, representing that
1t will not be to the business inter
ests Of the residents of the territory
nor is 1t the desire of a majority OF
their people really engaged in com
inercial pursuits that they should
at the present time be admitted as
a state. The memorialists further
say that New Mexico is at present
totally untitled for the responsible
i:y Of statehood, because the greater
part of the population are unfamil-
lar with the English language, and
though honest and of good charac-
ter, are as a class people over

the resulting code would be a dis
grace to the state.

IT is said that the committee ap.
pointed by the lower branch Of the
Idaho Legislature to investigate the
bribery charges against those inter
ested in the division Of Alturas
county last session, will probably
delay matters so that it will be too
late to get any measure relating to
the division question through this
session, so that Alturas will be safe
for another two years. The special
committee sit with closed doors,
but it is understood that they are
combining the examination TO the
acts of members two years ago, and
are not worrying themselves about
the doings of the members of the
present session. This looks like
an sex post facto" proceeding.

a Bugie Note From the North.

A meeting of the citizens of Lew
lston was held in that city last
week for the purpose of exchanging
views III reference to the adoption
OF measures pertaining to statehood
for Idaho. The people of Lewiston,
with the exception of a small mi
noTlty. have for years strongly ad-
yocated the scheme Of annexing the
panhandle Of Idaho to Washington
territory. 1t is gratifying, however,
TO learn that the first move for
state government originates with
the citizens Of the oldest town in
the territory, and their testimonial
of loyalty 10 the whole of Idaho
thus presented is duly appreciated
by their fellow citizens of the south.
The resolutions adopted fayoring a
speedy admission of Idaho as a
state are indicative Of the fact that
our friends in the north have cast
aside their long cherished banker
ing for becoming part of Washing
ton, and by this, the firing of the

COLORADO HAS EXPERIENCED

A genuine earthquake. The shocks
commenced on the afternoon of the
10Th ult., and at 4 O'Clock there
was very violent one at Routt
and through that portion of the
state. Small buildings were rocked,
large masses of rock were detached
from the mountains, and people
and animals were greatly frightened.
Cattle were especially terrorized,
and ran frantically back and forth.
Thunder preceded the shocks, but
there was no rain. A peculiar phe-
nomenon was observed at Hot
Springs. There the shock was pro-
ductive Of great gushes of water
and gas. Fully three times as much
water and gus as usual were thrown
out and accompanying it was a
most sulphurous stencil that made
people sick, and caused birds to
drop to the ground. When the con-
vulsion ceased the water receded
and there was sound like the rush
ing OF great river. The course Of
the shock waa from south north

SECRETARY WHITNEY,

SECRETARY WHITNEY,
According to a report from Wash
ington, shows very small spirit
with reference to the inauguration
of President-elect Harrison. The
famous Marine Band which is in
his control, have been awarded the
contract to furnish the promenade
music for the Inauguration ball.
This contract called for fifty must
clans, and as the band consists OF
only 40 men, it would become nec-
essary to employ 10 additional mu-
sicians. This coming to the ears
of Secretary Whitney, he Issued an
order prohibiting the engagement
of musicians other than those reg
ularly enlisted in the service. He
followed this up with another or
der requiring the band to be pres
ent at guard mount each day. Mil
itary men are laughing at the spec
tacle of 20 marines performing duty
with a full band of 40 pieces in
attendance.
