The BAzoo feels grateful to its
many friends among the newspapers
of the state for the kindly words it has
received from them relative to its en-
terprise in presenting such an array
of advertisements before its readers.
A newspaper man, who thoroughly
understands his business, can tell at a
glance, whether newspaper is at the
front or otherwise and it is Indicative
of a fraternal and cemmendable
spirit when such an one, frankly and
without jealousy, acknowledges the
fact. Not for years has
any Sedalia publication shown the
amount of advertisements which
graced the BAzoo during fair
week and certainly the BAzeo
appreciates the compliment which its
patrons thus paid to its circulation
and influence. An influence which
has not been brought about by boast
full and vain glorious assertions as to
its imaginary resources, or the COM
mon circus claptrap of statements
concerning its superiority over its riv-
ais as a regulator of the public veal,
but a steady growth, born of enter
prise, which paused at nothing which
was meant for the good of Sedalia and
her people and which has borne fruit
of kind which is tangible and real.

Postmaster Wells.

Amongs batch OF appointments made
by President Harrison late yesterday af-
ternoon was that of Howard Wells. to be
postmaster at Rock Island. While the
ADMINISTRATIONS disregard for civil service
reform has been matter OF public CONS
ment for some time, its abuse OF both the
spirit and letter of the law could not be
more forcibly illustrated than in the re-
movM of Postmaster Huesing. What
ever criticism might be made by local
republicans Of ex President Cleveland's
observance of the civil service law dur
ing bis term Of Office. IL was only neces-
sary to point to the case of Maj Halves
to silence them. Under Cleveland Maj.
Halves served three years and a half as
postmaster. while Mr. Huesing Is allowed
TO serve only six months under Harrison.
Both parties In their platforms claim al
legiance TO civil service reform. but how
wofully deficient in fulfilling its pledges
is the republican psrty'
OF course Wells appointment is due to
Congressman Gest's influence, and If that
gentleman could hear all the uncompli-
mentary remarks made by disgruntled re-
publicsns he would quickly realize that
his days Of political sfflnence are num-
bered. In his recommendation Mr.. Gest
was evidently influenced by the loud
clamorings and noise made by Wells and
his adherents. The "boss" was the only
one to get up a petition and he hardly
waited for confirmation of news of Har-
risons election before he WAS ont hust-
ling for names. The other applicants
were notified by Gest that a petition
would have no weight with him and so
nothing was done by them in that direc>
ton. Now. however. Gest is said to cite
the fact that he made the appointment
because Wells had the heaviest backing.
Nevertheless. the congressman will prob
ably realize by the time the next con-
gressional election rolls around that

one dreaded disease that science has
been able cure in all its stages. and that
is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti-
tutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucus surfaces of the sys-
TEN, thereby destroying the foundation
OF the disease. and giving the patient

A Senator Asks the Question.
The Evening Capital quotes "a prominent

saw the president the other day, and in the
course of conversation / said: Mr.. President
don't wish TO be impertinent, but | would
like to know If you are going to call an extra
session. | want to know so l can perfect my
arrangements.
The president smiled as he said: THE men,
bers and senators from the new states could
not get here before the 10th OF November and
think IL would be very foolish to call on
gress TO meet just two weeks in advance of
the time for the regu or session. ! am still in
doubt about the extra session, as the cabinet
has not yet discussed the question in meet
