knew. admired and loved him Brave,
affeciionate, proud, with something of
the patrician in his bearing. and yet al
abiding faith in the people in his heart,
he impressed himself upon all who
came IN contaCt with him. lie did his
duty arlessly. He served the state,
not self, the people, not party. All
that he has done OF good or i'll, In war
anu peace, is history now, a splendid
story and a precious one. He needs
no monument, tits true. Yet the state
OF Missouri, the great commonwealth
that loved him and was by him beloved,
owes il to herself to erect one TO his
memory and speedily. Let it be, as the
character OF the dead governor was,
strong and rugged, "tOur. square to the
winds of EARTH" severely simple and
most grandly plain"

Editor Ewing prints the following in
his Jefferson City Tribune:
"From every county in the state
comes murmur from farmers and
with il statements that their organza.
ton is extending until now il embraces
nearly all the best farmers i'm the state.
The organization is besieged by broken
down political hacks and scalawag pol
iticians, dead beats and demagogues
for help. Here is beggar who wants
to ride horseback; there q played out
politician who wants an office; in
another quarter tramp agitator who
wants to dictate; pushing tor the front
are the demagogues who try to head
every popular move, and the Doodle
politicians who are ready TO give money
for votes and influence. All are trying
to attach themselves In some way TO
the farmers, and the way they are
crowdlng and jostling each other about
TOR elbow room indicates that they are
not meeting with much success. For
the good OF the farmers we hope that
the entire flock of buzzards lowering
over the organization may be driven
beyond sight of their prey. The farm.
| ers' organization is nearing a critical
point. A year or less time will settle
the question of its life or death. 1t de.
serves TO live, and it will live, if the
doctrine of the order is observed"

Editor Payne talks aloud in the In
dependence Sentinel about new fash
ion, which he thus describes:
"If | hadn't recognized her face
would have sworn she was a pretty
boy-and about the prettiest eyer
saw, at that. She was driving across
the square, and her get-up was one of
the smartest have seen this spring. 1t
consisted of the new manniBh rig
white bosom, collar, cravat and jacket,
and jaunty Derby hat. IL was the
first instance of the late feminine craze
that have noticed In Independence
and | was filed with admiration.
am told that others of "our girls" are
shortly to appear in the same sort of q
costume. Which reminds me of that
old saying, "Since a girl can't be a
man she likes TO get as near TO one as
possible"
Editor Fisher has this practical para
graph i'm the latest issue of the Farm
lngtoD Times:
at is a isyorite deception of some oi
the republican advocates of the Nc
Kinley bill that the farmers OF the west
are in highly prosperous and indie
pendent condition, and therefore can
stand the increased tariff taxes pro.
posed by that measure in the interest
of eastern manufacturers, trusts and
capitalists. Our farmers ought to
know whether they are so prosperous
as the protectionists say they are, and
can afford TO be bled in this way.
How will they answer such insOlence
at the next electionr

Editor Wright, OF the Waynesvile
Democrat, strikes from the shoulder
and hits the bull's.eye when he says:
1T behooves every democrat, who
truly has the interest OF the party at
heart, to consider well the value and
necessity of unity and harmony within
the ranks. Without a united and har
momous effort the democrats Cal
accomplish but little, while with solid
aud undivided front we can march
grandly and triumphantly to victory in
November. We do not urge tho ad
vantage OF united action solely will
. the view of party success alone, bu
we urge II earnestly and conscientious
ly with the aim and hope of getting
, the party united on worthy and compe
/ tent men Tor office. In the selection o
: |
r the best qualified, the most available
and most honorable men must be pu
, forward. To be successful we mus
. have men that can command the sup
I port of the democratic party and th
people generally. This year is no tim
tor the scramble over the nominations
:. Let the honestly expressed will Of tn
