Not SO In Dixie.

"I have had men offer me seat in q way
that made the act little short of an insult.
A Southern gentleman would not do that. 1
never knew a lady to be compelled to stand
mp in public conveyance in the South.
More than that, any kind OF woman would
not be allowed to hang on to a strap while
robust man remained seated. Greater con-
sideration is shown respectable colored
women in a Southern street car than is

There is much justice in the criticism that
.he New Yorker of the best type is not the
gentleman" known to the South. The
most conspicuous difference is probably in
the lack in the former of that kind courtli-
ness of manner which has distinguished the
Southern gentleman from the earliest period.
But am informed by q we'll known South
erner that this difference is growing pre-
ceptibly less, to the discredit OF the South.
"The social conditions OF the South are
slowly but surely changing" said he.
"Much of it is the natural growth ofthe new
order of things, the business energy and
habits of personal industry being now culti-
waited.

"a Southerner in business in New York,
he added, ''soon becomes New Yorker. and
even the habitual courtesy to women soon
gets worn threadbare. This, however, is as
much the fault of womankind as it is the
social condition Of the metropolis. The
New York woman is creature of self-asser-

of the place. The fountain of all social
culture lies in women and the stream will
not rise higher than its source. So the New
York gentleman must not be expected to
average any better than his mother, his sis
tiers and his cousins and his aunts."
The New York women of society I have

THE NEW YORK CENTRAL STRIKE.

operations in the United States
The strikers on the New York
Central are among the poorest
class of our laboring citizens.
Newspaper sympathy is usually on
the side of the money power. The
laboring mamie who builds and
runs railroads at bare living, has
only the sympathy of those as
poor and powerless to aid as him
self. He who sits upon a stone
pile in the broiling hot sun at
noon to eat his poor dinner out Of

crushed to death by the million

more than passing comment as
"a sad and painful accident" in
which no one was to blame. His
poor little half starved, barefoot
children may be crushed beneath
the wheels of the millionaire g car

and if he complains heis branded,
as an anarchist. The laboring

has been done one of their men,
bers, his brothers at the peril of
life, wives and children, strike. At
the first hint of striking the police
are called upon to watch them as a
suspicious set of rascals and
thieves. No chance is given them
to prove themselves honest, but
menaced with weapons they are
threatened with death or arrest.
Then with the picture of the poor
wife and starving children at
home, no wonder the striker grows
desperate, and as one dying man
exclaimed: ooh God is there no
justice for the poor" The New

Hatch's Slaves or What Chance has
a Democrat.

We would like to ask our Dem
ocratic friends what chance q
Democrat has in the First Con-
gressional District. The Demo-
cracy does not control the First
Congressional District, nor is the
Democracy free to say who shall
represent the district in Congress.
Think Democrats, any of you who
have the laudable ambition to rep
resent your district in Congress,
aud there are many of you; could
you do it! No you know that
though you might have two-thirds
of the Democrats in the whole
district favoring you, it would be
utterly impossible for you to Sc
cure the nomination. 1t is not
the Democracy but William FL.
Hatch who has the First Congress
slonal District by the throat, and
you throw up your hats and shout
for Hatch, just because you can't
help yourselves. You don't love
him and you know it. He has
been long enough in Congress to
demonstrate the fact to every one,
that he has no ability beyond that
of a shrewd wire puller and, what
the Democratic Legislature of
years ago charged him with being,
a lobbyist. He has not, and never
will acquire National reputation
FOR he has not the ability to earn
it. Yet election after election you
must go and swallow the pill.
Hatch must be sent again and
again and again, not because you
want him, but because you are his
slave. You don't dare vote against
him. You don't dare speak in
public what your hearts in secret
dictate. Your young talented
Democrats seek homes in other
localities where one man will not
control everything. Soil becomes
richer by frequent changing and
turning, and SO does political at
mosphere. But the Democracy of
Missouri is in the hands of ma
chine, and cannot free itself from
the vampires which have seized on !
it and are sucking away it's life |
blood. Everybody says Hatch |
will be nominated Of course, its no
use for for anybody else to try,
but where is the burst of enthusi-
asm. Silently the poor slave does
as he IS told, but it Is not a sweet
labor of love. Poor Democrat of /

poor miserable slaye, how we pity
you. Foolish fellows you are tying
yourselves hand and foot, and
Know it not. How soon will
some young Napolean rise up, and
swear in his might, that the Dem
'cracy of the First Congressional
District shall be free. "Come Oh
leliverer come" is the silent
prayer of all, but no one is brave
enough to lead.

HON. F. M. HARRINGTON FOR CON-
GRESS.

On last Wednesday Republican
Congressional Convention which
met at Macon City, nominated
Hon. T. NJ. Harringing, Of this
city, for Congress for the First
Congressional District. Mr.. Har-
rington needs no introduction to
the people Of North Missouri. He
has lived for twenty five years in
Adair county. As citizen he is
unimpeachable, as lawyer he
has no superior, as an official he
is incorruptable, and his ability
as statesman was proven by his
being returned again and again to
the legislature from this county
until he refused longer to be a
candidate. Adair county will give
Harrington one thousand majority
Putnam will give him thirteen
hundred. Marion promises him
a majority, and in Macon it will
be stand off. This means Mr..
Hatch's defeat. Let every true
Republican and every true man
who wants to down bossism in the
First District vote for Harring-
ton.

The Country Girl.

A country girl always has an idea
that the advantages of a city girl are
not hers-that she suffers from lack
of sOmething-she doesn't exactly
know what. She is convinced that
the girl in the city avails herself OF
every opportunity to look at fine pic
lures, read choice books and cultivate
her mind. Now, when she generalizes
in this way she is simply showing her
self to be narrow and ignorant. The
girl in the country to-day can get ex-
actly the same papers and books that
come to the girl in the city. Her
thinking hours are longer, and very
often she sees more of real, sweet home
life. She is apt to learn that most
beautiful industry, how to be a good
housewife, and over the bread-pau or
the churn she can think as great
thoughts rs she would over the elabo-
rate fancy work or in the picture gal

From 1860 to 1868 the Republican
party vote showed no change from the
ebb and flow of profound peace be-
tween 1870 and 1880, or 1880 and
1890. 1t fell off the same percentages
in off years, and increased the same
percentage in Presidential years in
each decade. Its voters were happy,
pursuing the avocations of peace and
running no extra risk OF life.
But the Democratic vote from 1860
to 1865 shows that there had been a
great war. At the elections in 1868
every Republican answers TO his name
at the polls, but 100000 Democratic
voters are missing, and must be either
dead or in the field fighting. That all
are not dead we know, for 1000 re-
turn again in 1866.
Study this table. The loss at the
mid-presidential elections is well
known and a matter of unvarying per-
centage. The Republicans lost in
1866 as usual. The Republican voters
who mustered out in 1865 were not
enough to make good the places of the
stay-at-homes.
But there was no Democratic loss in
the offyear election OF 1866. The
Democratic voters who had been mus
tered out of the Union armies in 1865
were voting again, and their total vote
was greater than at the preceding
Presidential election-something with
out precedent in the history of the
country.
A Republican President "fought
the war" for the Union with Demo-
cratic armies commanded by Demo-
cratic generals. The Republican party
had no more to do with fighting the
civil war than it had with fighting
King Philips war. The Republican of
1850 wanted "our wayward sisters to
depart in peace" He hated the flag
as ga Haunting lie," a polluted rag"
To him, the constitution was cove
nant with death, and league with

Some Surprises OF the Census.

A Washington special says: The
Dakotas have undergone a shrinkage
process since they were admitted. In
the report of the house in March, 1888,
upon the admission of the States the
of Dakota was put at $780,
600, and this was regarded as rather
within the mark than beyond it. The
figures of the inter-decennial census Of
the Dakotas, taken in June, 1885,
were nearer the truth and have not
greatly improved, while a great many
persons have been going to the Da-
kotas, a great many. discouraged by a
succession of adverse seasons, have
gone away to Washington and Oregon.
A comparison of population of the
two States according to the inter-de-
cennial census of 1886 and rough
count of the census OF 1890, make the
following showing: North Dakota,
1885, 152,1S9; 1890, 1S1,16O. South
Dakota, 1885, 263, ,465; 1890, 336,942 ;
totals, 415,664, and 5l7, ,543. 1t will
be observed that the population of the
State of South Dakota is equal to the
full ratios of the congressional
schemes, so that the State will retain
its two representatives ON this count.
There is disappointment in store for
Montana. In the report upon the ad-
mission of this State the population
was estimated at 174 900 in 1888. The
vote indicated a population in 1886 of
151,4 ,472. Mr.. Porter's rough count
gives the State only 12S,163. As
Helena has been deprived by the GEN.
sus of about half the population that
it had the outcome ought not to be
surprising. 1t is heard at the census
office that the States of Minnesota
and Nebraska show q phenomenal in
crease In population. The returns in
dicate that the increase in each State
will approximate 100000. The popu-
lation of Colorado is estimated at 4OO,-
600. 1t was 1882 in 1880, thus
showing that it has doubled during
the past ten years. Washington will
probably show population of $50, 900.
In 1880 the Territory had 75,116 in
habitants, so that the population has
more than quadrupled since the census
of that year. 1t is now considered a
settled fact that Illinois will take
Ohio's place as the third State in
point OF population. The enormous
increase in Chicago, nearly 100000 in
ten years, has contributed greatly to
this result.
