We were asked the question this
week, "Why does Missouri have such a
hard name?" That is an easy one to an
swer. Chiefly because the virtuous don't
care to remain there and move to Kansas.
If it is necessary to bolster up this state
ment with an affidavit we can testify from
personal knowledge. We used to live in
Missouri. We have no doubt Hollister,
Mccoy and Osborn would corroborate this

itor, Thomas O'Toole. According to
the returns of the election boards in the
several precincts, the vote was tie, each
candidate receiving SO votes. The COM
missioners cast lots and Mr.. O'Toole was
the lucky man. Mr.. Neff claims that he
received more legal votes than Mr..
O'Toole, but that they were neither
counted nor returned by the election
boards, and this he purposes proving
OF course all will agree that the candidate
who received the highest number of legal

Neff. All that either side can ask is a
fair investigation. The office OF county

in English ships, and consequently is two hundred dollars better of. He thinks that 50 long as this country can send it's vast cotton, grain and other crops at such cheaper rates, our country is richer by em- ploying the cheapest carrier, as the Ameri- cans who would otherwise perform that service have meanwhile employed them selves to better advantage.
 To secure fair share of the trade of the world the first requisite Is to produce the articles for exchange ak the lowest possible price, or as cheaply AsGther nations can do. When our foreign guests have seen our country and enjoyed onr hospitality they will inquire what or which of the products which we have seen can we advantageously introduce into our ownf [
 Our cotton goods they find to be cheap and of good quality, and so of many other articles. Onr woolen goods they find too dear, and they say to us we cannot pay you a dollar and half per yard for cloth, when we can purchase equally as good for one dollar from England, France, or Germany.
 We reply that we cannot compete with those countries which have free wool, while. our tariff demands forty, fifty or seventy five per cent. duty on the raw ma- terials used.
 In articles manufactured from iron and steel the same trouble arises. They say to us you have our friendship, but we must buy where we can buy cheapest The problem for us to study is how to reduce the cost of many of our products to equality with Europe. It has no doubt happened to many merchants engaged in the South American trade (as well as the writer) that invoices of merchandise have been received for sale, with orders to sell the same in our markets, and remit the proceeds to Europe to pay for goods pur- chased there. This state of things must continue a long as their goods are cheap CT than ours, and European manufacturers continue to give long credits.
 l The comparison of ideas among the del egates when gathered in convention, will, it is to be hoped, lead to 8 solution of the present difficulties, and bring the repnb- lies of our continent into closer commercial and political union. D. K.
