Ii is characteristic of Mlssourians TO
stand closer together whenever the
state is needIessly assailed, and the
man who undertakes to say "Poor old

prosperity must say it easy.
Talking of prosperity, the st. Charles
News has the following pertinent para.

"The farmers have this year tre-
mendous wheat crop for which they
will get European prices, less the cost
of transportation. But when they buy
sugar, lumber, clothing, salt, tools,

thousands of necessary things taxed in
the tariff schedules, they must pay
American prices. They sell in the
cheapest markets and buy in the dear

fled with this kind of trading there is
no reason why Harrison shouldn't be
president"
But they are not satisfied with it,
and the returns of 1892 will show how
thoroughly dissatisfied they really are.
The Hamilton Hamiltonian has the
following interesting paragraph:
"Judge Harlan and wife, who reside
at Waukeeny, Kan, celebrated their
golden wedding Tuesday with their
children, relatives and friends in atten.

Dakota pO itics, was speaker of the
house in the latter territory. From
1856 TO 1870 he was speaker of the
Missouri house of representatives.
The Judge and his estimable wife are

parents of Dave X. b. Harlan, repre-
sentative from Caldwell county in the
state assembly,"
The types are are not exactly correct
in this instance. Judge A. T. Har-
Ian, of Andrew county, was
speaker of the Missouri house of
representatives during 1865 and 1866
only. He was succeeded in 1867 by
Gen. John G. Orrick, for many years
the law partner of Gen. Noble.

Editor Robertson of the Gallatin
Democrat speaks his mind thus for
cibly:-
"Sorn43f fanner bas at last been

been made the Escape goat" tor the
whole crowd. 1t has been only two
months since, Secretary Noble in
All interview stated that Tanner
"suited the president and suits me-"
The entire administration was in
harmony with Tanner and his methods
until it was found that some one must
be made to bear the blame tor the
enormous increase in the public debt.
Then it was that Tauner was selected
as the victim, in the vain attempt to
stay the gathering wrath of the robbed
and outraged taxpayers. Tanner is
unquestionably guilty of wantor
extravaganza, if nothing else, but the
responsibility for his malieasance at
taches with equal right to the president
and secretary of the interior"
