| Dared Tor big days work. There h,
remained aleadily until late at night
when he took the train for topeka
Nan, and, rs the head of the delega
tloh from Missouri, he attended anC
partlclpated in the deep water conven.
tion during all OF Wednesday and Wed
hesday night. On Thursday morning
at 1929 O'Clock he arrived at St .Josepi
ana hve minutes later was delivering

Fair convention of the Mississippi val
ley. On Friday morning the governor

during the afternoon aud until midnight

bureau of geology and mines. Two
hours past midnight he was Oh his way
TO st. Louis, where he yesterday at
tended another important meeting
truly, there are no back-logs under the
Francis administration"
Editor White, of the Mexico Ledger
publishes the following in reply to
those democratic papers who have been
discussing the subject:
''Il the first place, Walter Williams
could not have been discharged fol
writing letter favoring Vests re-eIec.
ton, as no such letter was written by
him. In the second place, Gov. Francis
was in New York and knew nothing
OF Walters resignation until after he
returned. Only last week Gov Francis
appointed Williams delegate to the
deep-water convention at Topeka,
showing clearly that he was not trying
to "down" him. Williams has several
better positions offered him, and in q
letter now before us he says, among
other thing: Bob: Francis had NO
more to do with my resignation than
the man in the moon. He did not even
know of it until after his return from
New York."
Editor Tom Lingle thus informs his
constituents upon an interesting topic
"Some OF the republicans of Clinton
are becoming very much interested i'm
the tariff reform campaign now raging
over the country. They don't seem to
understand why in the midst of busy
season and rushing business, the peo-
pie are taking so much interest i'm this
matter. They offer all sorts of explana.
ton, but lose sight of the main point.
which IS that the people have conclud- :
ed that they have farned out their in
teresls to the wrong fellows, and want
to put a stop to the highway robbery
of an excessive war tariff that has been
so long inflicted upon them, and they
intend to do it,"
Editor Dan. Kennedy. in facctious
mood, prints the following in his
Springfield Leader:
"Hon. w. j. Stone has officially an.
nounced that he is too poor to serve
longer In congress and this will be his
last term. Hon. Chas. Ill. Morgan and
many others, although not millionaires,
recognize the fact that they belong to
their country first, and are willing to
live the hard and unhappy life of con.
gressman. The friends of Mr.. Stone,
however,annOunce that his finances are
in such shape that he could possibly
to become governor; never
theless, the people should not take this
as settled"
The Charleston Democrat arguing i'm
favor of the enforcement of the game
laws, and yet admitting that public
sentiment does not seem TO favor such
says:
"Dcer and turkey, two prime favo-
rites of the forest huntsmen, ARE becom-
ing scarcer and more difficult to find
each year, even in southeast: Missouri.
where, few years ago, their number
was large and their capture compare
lively easy to bring about. The sale IN
the cities especially of these delicacies
out of season is forbidden and the law
is respected fairly well, but it is to be
noticed that call at restaurant for
game, no matter at what season, is
seldom met with refusal. An indica-
ton OF the fact that the extinction of
the deer is being gradually brought
about in spite of law to prevent such
catastrophe is the eagerness with which
the antlers OF the majestic aud tooth
some animals are sought and the care
bestowed upon the prize when found.
Taken all in all there are few better
laws on our statute books than those
designed to preserve to posterity speci
mems of the best of the animal kingdom;
and few that fall so short of accom-
the desired results"

Editor Murray, OF the Liberty
Advance. moves the previous question
on the senatOrship, thus:
"The staunch and intelligent Demo-
cracy of Missouri is not Of the hero
worshipping stripe, nor the servile
Wearer OF any mans collar; but it be-
lleves that the perpetulty of the true
cardinal principles of democracy as
enunciated and taught by Calhoun, def
terson and Jackson rests not with any
individual, no" can or ought any maj,
simply by reason of party service
obtain for all future time an unyielding
cllnch upon his party. Yet the yeomen
OF Missouri, the rank and file of demo-
cracy, know true merit when they meet
it, and believe in rendering honor to
whom honor is due. With such, at
This time, the fact is self-evident from
the peculiar political situation, aside
from other considerations, that George
Graham Vest, the little giant of Mis-
souri,, should succeed himself.
