OPP-YEAR TRUTH.

The St. Joseph Herald is always
more or less malicious, and always re-
publican. In consequence, 1t tells lie
truth so seldom that we are pleasantly
surprised at the appearance OF the fol.
10 wing editorial paragraph in one of
Its recent issues:-
.'Tbe tax levy in Missouri is 3 mills.
Two mills of this is Tor state purposes,
aud the other mill Is tor the sinking
iuud and Tor the payment of the inter-
est on the state debt, aud one-third OF
Tie two mills for state purposes goes
| absolutely 10 the support of the free
public schools. The state has not in
lien it has been liquidaliDg il at the
rate Of about $3.50, 900 a year."
Mr.. Bittinger probably decided,
" hen he came to consider the above
paragraph, that an occasional truth
during an off-year would not be pref
ndicial 10 the aus which he repre-
sents. We cannot congratulate him,
however, for he has only told half the
truth.
The Herald should have reminded
its readers that Missouri had no appre-
ciable debt until the republican party
came into power.
That the debt which the democratic
party and people have been steadily
aud rapidly paying since 1874, was
accumulated wholly by the republican
party between 1861 and 1872.
That the school fund of Missouri,
which was robbed by Mr.. Bittinger's
| party, has under democratic govern
ment, become the largest fund for the
support of free public schools of any
state in the Union.
That Missouri, through its democ-
racy. annually sets aside more of its
revenue for public schools than any
other state and that it has provided a
system OF education equal to that es.
tablished any " here OH the earth.
If the Herald had thus addressed it's
readers, in a spirit of historical sccu-
racy, it would now be a fit subject for
popular respect. AS it is, the people
Tho know the Herald best can see
above the lions skin which 1t donned
for the paragraph quoted, the ears of
its party.

THE NEW STATES.

Elections were held on Tuesday for
State officers, the legislature aud con
gress in North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana and Washington and as was
predicted, the result has been in favor
of the republicans, except in Montana,
where the democrats made a gallan,
6ght and appear to have elected the
governor and legislature, insuring the
election of two democratic United
states senator's.
National politics entered very slight
IS into the contest in The two Dakotas
which have all along been conceded to
he Overwhelmingly republican. The
prohibition and capital location ques.
ions we're the paramount issues in the
south state. In North Dakota the con.
test was so close that the democrat,
are encouraged to expect success II
future contests, when local question:
do not dominate.
The meagre returns from Washing.

MASSACHUSETTS AND KANSAS.

The newspapers report that the re-
publicsns OF Kansas are very sore over
the appointment OF Charles f. Meservc
of Springfield, Mass, as superintendent,
of the Haskell Indian institute at Law
renee, Kas. Sore for no other reason
than that Meserve is u Massachusetts
man.
But why this tenderness of spirit
over the domination OF the wild repub-
lican Kansas by a section of the north
eastern corner which has always
welded supreme authority over that
state? Massachusetts "settled" Kan
sas; or, rather, peopled ii, with a fac.
ton which caused all the trouble
the state ever had. Massachu-
sets idiosyncracies have governed it,
controlled ii, managed its politics,
manipulated its churches, developed its
cranks, killed it with prohibition and
buried II with woman suffrage.
Having done this much for the state
VI hhudhr, what possloIe oUJcC'lOH
can there be now If Massachusetts
claims its own?
OF. course, the real Kansans, the
Kansans who emanated from Missouri
and Texas, are inclined TO resent the
impulation that the great prairies OF
their state are under The watcbful eye
and prsyerful guidance of the keen
eyed money LENDERS OF the east, but
the real Kansas will remember that
for more than fifty years they have
resented this sort OF thing in vain.
There is only u hope left them now.
They can come over to Missouri, W here
there is a government of Mlssourians,
by Missourians aud for Missourians.

ST. LOUIS WORKING WOMEN.

Commissioner Wright, of the ma
tional labor bureau, has stirred up a
hornets nest with bis report npon the
condition OF the working women OF
St. Louis. The report wrongfully
places the women at a rather low ebb
in the social scale, educationally and
morally. and reflects severely upon the
factory and mill owners.
An effort was made to connect Mr..
Lee Meriwether, commissioner of the
Missouri bureau of labor, with the
report, inasmuch as he was at that time
all agent of the national bureau. But
Mr.. Meriwether easily proved an
abb, and thereafter the critics fell
back upon Commissioner Wright.
The facts which present themselves
one by one should teach the owners OF
mills and factories that, since their IN
ployes have rights which they are
bound to respect, the government
searcher after fruitful statistics should
be given every opportunity to procure
those statistics officially. Statements
made by employers are sometimes
balanced when seen from the stand
point of the employee, and statements
by employees are frequently rendered
reasonable by contact with the IN
pl)yers. But when observed only from
the one standpoint, the unfeeling sta
tisiician is liable to absorb e prejudice
that unconsciously molds public opin-
ion in Il hurttul direction.
IT is probably true that the condition
of the working-women in st. Louis is
even better than the condition of the
working women of most large cities.
God knows it is bad enough at best.
But the time has come when great mu-
inequalities should not fear the truth,
if the truth be told. Humanity de-
mands the most patient and persistent
inquiry into the lives OF the working
people everywhere, to the end that
their condition may be ameliorated and
a helping hand extended them under
every adverse circumstance.
The st. Louis of to-day is not the st.
Louis OF thirty years ago. Much has
been accomplished during that period
tor the help of those who live by daily
labor. The hearts of emp overs have
sometimes sotlened with the develop
lnent of their business and it is of
national notOriety that many Of the
mercantile institutions of ST.
have admitted their employees TO.
A share in the profits of the concerns.
It is, therefore evident that Commits
'ioner Wright has made a serious mis-,
axe, which the factory and mil
should help him TO correct
when next he goes gathering statistics.
There is that much Of q lesson in his
Diuuder. |
