Mr.. billiard is seriously contemplating

No MIssOURIAN is better known or
more thought of han Miss Phoebe
Couzens. She has the misfortune, on
general principles but the good fortune
so far as her aspirations now are con-
cerned, TO be a republican.M Miss Couzens
is a la yer, and she is now an applicant
for a position on the Utah commission.
She argues that the Mormon question
involves the interests of thousands of
women, and that no man can so thor
oughly enter into their side OF the
controversy as she an. There are
| five members of the commission, and
they each draw a salary of $4,000 a
year. They don't have a very hard
time of it, either, as their principal
duty is to make occasional trips ont to
Utah, to enjoy the saIubrious climate,
and to formulate ideas for Legislation.
This column believes the gray matter
in Phebe's brain would produce as
good suggestions as are likely to
originate in the pate of any male
republican that is apt to be sent out
there, and more novel and unique
ideas of reform. and it is, therefore, for
Miss Phoebe Couzens, first, last and all
the time.
JUDGE THEODORE BRACE, of the
state supreme bench, was recently
elected Grand Master of Masons OF
Missouri. Judge Brace is more than a
bright Mason; he is what might be
called all all-around bright man. AS u
lawyer he vas easily among the lead
ers at the bar of his section of the
state, and as a circuit Judge stood so
high that he was promoted to the su-
preme bench by the ardor for him OF
northeast Missouri, over such men as
JudgeHenry and Alexander Martin The
Judge is not only a lawyer, but he is
an orator, and before the judicial
ermine claimed him for its reserve and
dignity, as well as beauty, he used to
electrify the boys with eloquent per-
o%rations on the merits of democracy.
The judge always had the happiest
way of saying things. Fol- instance,
being a tobacco chewer, he recently
went to a dentist to have his teeth
scraped and polished. Going to the
! glass afterward he exclaimed :-"By
George, doctor, those are my wedding
teeth. | haven't seen them before for
twenty years" Judge Brace is Il
graceful and ready worker in the beau
tiful rites and mysteries of Masonry,
an art that none but the pure in heart
can love enough to cultivate; and
which, we may add, parentheiicdlly,
were more favOrably looked upon by
the Roman Catholic councils at Balti-
more, recently, than ever before in the
history of that church. Judge Brace
is as mode-t as he il learned, and is
such an American as all may love for
his own warm affection, and reverence
for his high sense of honor.

THE revolution in Brazil cannot fail
to haye a marked effect in Spain, where
the republican feeling is very general
and strong. The situation is in the
hands of Mr.. CASTELAR,, who has but to
say the word in order to put an end to
monarchy in that country. AS it stands
now the government is a compromise
of the monarchy with E,nelio CASTELAR,,
as the representative of the democratic
sentiment OF the people.

Mr.. GLADSTONE made all address at

trasted the English workman's position
to-day with that of fifty years ago,
showing that during the half century
there has been an increase of 80 per
cent. in wages, while the cheap food
and clothing now %obteinabIe are better
than heretofore. In conclusion he urged
English workmen to study the history
of the American revolution. The sys-
tenn of government in America ccm-
bined that love of freedom, respect for
law, and desire for order which formed
the surest elements of national excel
lence and greatness. 1t was no extra
vagance to say that, although there
were only two millions OF people III the

luton, the group of the statesmen that
proceeded from them were a match for
any in the whole history of the world,
and were superior to those of any one

TARIFF REFORM FORGING TO THE
FRONT.

The fact should not be lost sight OF
that the tariff reform ideas advanced
by Grover Cleveland were the issue OF
the recent canvass which resulted so
disaslrously to the republican party.
The farmers are getting their eyes open
to the i~niquities of a system which
taxes them an average of AZ per cent.
upon everything they have to buy,
while they are forced to sell all that
they produce in competition with the
world.
1t is becoming harder and harder 10
work the prejudices of the war in lieu
OF arguments of living questiOns; and
whenever the monstrousness Of the rob-
berry of the tariff becomes understood,
as it finally must be wherever there is
intelligence at all, it will be impossible
for the money of the barons to bny
elections from the poverty stricken
wretches, whom it has in the past de-
bauched.
