1t is now thought that
Blaine will be Secretary of State;
Allison Secretary of the Inferior,
and Alger Secretary of War.
Gov. Francis has been noti-
fed by Speaker Carlisle that the
death OF Congressman Burnes Gre
ates a vacancy in both Congresses
and that he can order an election
for both at once.
a French periodical has
made tie very rank suggestion
that, in the event of war between
the United States and Germany,
our harbors would be bombarded
with Krupp guns loaded with
Limburgher.
The special election held
in the Evansville, Ind district,
Tuesday to elect q Congressman
to fill out the unexpired term of
Gov. A. P. Hovey, resulted in
the election of F. B. Posey, re-
publican.
As some doubt has been
expressed that the Republican
Senators and Representatives, in
caucus at Jefferson City, unani-
mously indorsed, Mr.. Filley, we
publish in this issue the original
resolutions, as introduced by Mr..
McGinnis.
"A church at Paris, Mo-,
has adopted the plan of not allow
ing its members to sign dram
shop petitions and remain in good
standing. This is move in the
right direction. When all church
members cease to give counte.
nance and support to the whisky
traffic, there will be no need of O
law restricting the sale, use OF
abase of intoxicants.
Secretary Bayard disclaims

country under treaty obligations
and that Germany, in its present
attitude, has the sympathy OF
Great Britain.

the Republican party of the state.
The Samoan trouble has

respondence has been going on be-
tween Germany, Great Britain.
and the State Department at
Washington that the public knows
nothing about. 1t is now beyond
a doubt that Germany has insult
ed our flag, and like Spain has no
respect for the United States
