MISSOURI EDITORS.
what They arc Saying in Their
Papers.


The Pennington Times has caught
on to an item that has been floating
ABOUT III the benighted eastern press TO
the effect that
EMILY Paxton, of Pike, county,
Missouri, has permission from the gov.
efnor OF .be state to wear a mans dress
anywhere in Missouri outside the cities
OF 10000 inhabitants.' She works on a
iarm and her favOrite occupation is
breaking horses to harness. of these
she herself owns three and has charge
OF thirteen"
Gov. Francis is just gallant enough
to do snch thing, but unfortunately
he can find no constitutional or stat
utory authority for such an unofficial
act. But, pshaw, Emily Paxton is not
the only woman who wears the
brooches, law or no law, and if the
Times will "fess up" will acknowledge
that in many cases they should wear
'em.
Brother Sewer, of the Neosbo Times,
is confident that
"Charley Morgan will have two
years TO serve in Col. Stones place
before the people assign him quarters
in the executive mansion at jefferson
City,"
And he also thinks that Hon. Ed.
O'Day is something of a mascott HIM
self, and predicts the defeat of Farmer
Wade in the Springfield district in the
following words:
"The young democracy are looking
TO Ed. ODay as the young Moses to
lead them from the late disgraceful de-
teats to glorious victory. With him rs
a candidate we are assured of al old
time Charley Morgan victory.

The Richmond Conservator says that
"Buck Kelly, of the Mobcrly Mon
itor, wants to sell the Monitor office.
Suppose he is getting tired of the news
paper business, as he has had some
pretty rough experience, ana he is get
ting too far advanced in years to take
the knocks he was once able to stand"
Which leads us to remark that Buck
will die game, if necessary. He is not
too old to give hard knocks when he
thinks them necessary. and generally
at the end of a scrimmage he is found
on top.
A writer in the Lebanon Rustic
keeps writing such letters as this to the
Hon. James t. Moore, the republican
protectionist representative OF Laclcde
county in the last general assembly:
TO Hon. James Il. Moore:-Dear
Sir - Harrison is pre- 'ident and we,
around Stoutiand, who heard your
speech here during the last campaign,
want to sell you our calves. You will
please call with your $l5 per head and |
get them, as we are only offered from !
81 TO So per head. Come, now, don't !
ego back" on us, for you know you |
said it."
The honorable Jim is too busy revis-
ing the laws of Missouri to answer such |
correspondence.
According to the Hamilton News
Graphic:
"iarrison county's local option lawhas
been declared void because the call for |
the election was not published in a |
as the law directs"
All of which goes to prove that as an |
advertising medium the country news
paper leads the hand bill.

Our friend of the Warremsburg Star
may not be a prophet or the son of a
prophet, but when he predicts that
"The hand on the dial of current |
politics steadily indicates that the ma
tional democratic ticket and platform |
in 1892 will read something like this |
For president, Grover Cleveland, of |
New York; Vice President, Jmo. NJ.
Palmer, of Illinois; platform, the tariff |
principles of 1883, ,ouly little more So" |
There are not many people who will
not wager good money that he is not |
an astrOlOger.
The Stockton journal says that the |
"Cruce Bros, of Eldorado, have |
offered prize of SO in gold to the
farmer furnishing them the best one |
dozen ears OF corn grown in any of the |
counties of Cedar, Vernon or st. Clair"
Which is all improvement on the
patent for obtaining a summers supply !
of watermclons.
On editors day at the St. 10 exposi-
lion last week, Col. Yves. Robinson. of
The Gallatim Democrat, was awarded
the premium for being the handsomest
editor present. Col. Wes. is just as
modest as he is handsome, and that is
no immoderate praise OF both OF his
distinctions.
Col e. W. Stephens, of the Colum-
Dia Herald, is suggested by the Nevada
Nail as a proper man for the pres
dency of the state university. No bet.
er selection could probably be made,
nut as an editor isn't he greater edu-
;atOr than simply az IL college president?

We find this modest article in the
columns of our esteemed contemporary,
