Jefferson City Tribune: "a brief
review of the nominees for the lower
house of the Missouri legislature pre-
sents something entirely new in state
politics. The house will be composed
of 140 members and from present in
dications less than 20 of this number
will be experienced members. The
numerous tickets which have been
nominated is another striking feature
of the situation. Up to date nomina-
tions have been made by parties styl-
ing themselves: Democratic, republi-
can, union labor, farmers and union
labor, wheel, alliance, peoples prohi-
bition and independent. In one coun-
ty we find an alliance between half a
dozen factions, and in another, per-
haps adjoining, several of the parties
are singly in the contest for their
nominees. There is very little use to
speculate on the probable outcome of
so many parties. We must walt un-
til the legislature has been organized
and settled down to work. Then we
shall see what we shall see.

Census Frauds.

1.-The New work World of a recent
date published a special from its
Washington correspondent, in which
it claims to have discovered that gross
frauds were perpetrated by the officials
upon the census returns. Here are
some of the facts the World claims to
have dicovered:
l. That there is a deliberate purpose
on the part of the leaders of the dom
inant party to retain the COngression-
al majority now in its grasp.
INSCRIPTIONS men, with or without
the sanction of the leaders of their
party, have cOnnived and cOnspired
together to defraud many Of the states
of the Union out of their legitimate
Congressional representatives.
3. That secret office was fitted up
in Washington, at No. 206 d street,
n. w, where a gang of trusted clerks
were detailed to alter the true returns
by scaling down the totals or in
creasing the same-that the growth of
Democratic states should not be hon
estly reported.
t. That an order was given by an
official in the census office with or
without the connivance of men high
in authority in the government) to
scale down the population of New
York City One Hundred and Thirty
Three Thousand.
). That an order was given in the
census office, with or without the
knowledge and approval of high au-
thorities in this government, to reduce
the true census of New York State
three hundred thousand souls.
6. That the state of New Hampshire,
which has lost population, was to be
sealed up SO that its present quota of
Congressional representation should
not be chanded.
:. That Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin.
Maine and Minnesota were to be livery
literally counted, y and that the blum
ders at Minneapolis and St. Paul arose
from a stupid misinterpretrtion of in
structiOns.
s. That the Southern States were to
be Jumped upon," states that have
shown greatest growth were to suffer
to the extent of IA to Is per cent.
8. That this infamous job has, to a
large extent, been carried out, and that
when the researches of World fright
ened the conspirators they moved the
secret office from 206 D street, Wash
ington, to Cathedral street, Baltimore,
near the monument, where, for the
past six weeks, the dastardly work
has been in progress.
10. That enough evidence exists to
discredit the whole census, indepen-
dent of the exposure in New York
City"
Comment on the above is unneces-
sary. The World is pucuniarily re-
sponsible for every assertion it makes
and before it published these reports
t, doubtless, took every precautIon to
publish nothing which would lay it
liable to suit for libel. 1t is nice
lite scheme, and we'll worthy of those
who worked and are working.

Southeast Missouri Teachers AssOcla-
ton.

To the Teachers Of Southeast Missouri
The Southeast Teachers AS sociatior
will be held at De Soto, as voted at the
meeting in BoDne Terre, on the 30th
and 3lst of December, 1890, and Janu.
ary, 1891.
The change from summer to Win
| ter meeting shortens the interval in
| which to perfect arrangements for the
meeting; but it is hoped that all who
feel an interest in the educa tional pro-
gress of this section of our great State
will unite in the effort to make the
coming meeting at De Soto one to be
remembered. The three other District
Associations of the State will be held
during the Holidays, and 1t is for the
Teachers of our section to say whether
we are to be surpassed by them in point
of numbers or in the excellence of the
work accomplished.
The place of meeting, De Soto, is a
convenient and very desirable place in
every respect, being easily reached by
rail from all parts of the southeas and
st. Louis.
The citizens assure us that there will
be ample accommodation TOR all who
may attend.
L
attend ,and to make them feel that they
have personal interest i'm the success
of the meeting. Let every County
Commissioner, Superintendent, Prin-
cipal or other person, who values pro-
gress and abhors stagnation, exert his
or her influence to induce others to at
tend.
But let US not rest content with mere
ly securing large representation. Let
us provide something to repay them
for their visit-somethirg that will be
OF value to them after they have gone
back to their work in the schooI-room.
May it not be said of the meeting that
the papers We're not different from those
of previous meetings, but may they
contain the crystalized thought Of those
who speak their convictions on subjects
that confronts US to-day.
Schools are earnestly requested to
make exhibits of Drawing, Penman-
ship, Map-drawing, Examination Pa
Ders, Essays, dc. A few schools made
Interesting displays at the last meet
ing. and it is hoped that much larger
number will be represented at the COM
ing meeting.
Commence at once to prepare wcrk,
and let US make this an interesting
feature of the Association. The inn
provement in the pupils VIII amply re-
pay you for any extra effort.
One evening of the Association will
be devoted to an Evolutionary Contest,
to be participated in by teachers and
puniIs of Southeast Missouri schools.
Suitable prizes will be offered. Those
who desire to enter the contest will
please notify the President at least
three weeks before the meeting.
In conclusion, let me urge upon
Teachers the Importance of attending
--of coming in contact with others, of
exchanging ideas and of receiving fresh
inspiration and encouragement. Do
not allow yourself to be detained away,
but make arrangements to have your
Holidays extend beyond January LIST,

The Silver Law a SWIndle.

In the following it seems to US that
Mr. Murat Halstead is not nearly ss
| honest as he can well afford to be:
| The st. Louis Republic has the audacity to
! speak of the silver law as "the bullion swim. J..
die" But the Republic has much trouble in
finding objections to the law. What, If spec
| lnatlons are in order, is the swIndle?
There never was palmer law. 1t con-
verts silver into gold and gold into green
backs, upholds the public credit. expands
| the currency in a healthy way, and provides
the conditions of prosperity to confront the
Democratic party.
The bill is a sTindle because:
Flrst-lt pretends to be bill to in
crease the currency, while it is really n
bill to restrict it and govern it as in
fiexibly as possible by the supply of
gold. AS Mr.. Halstead knows
Second-Because it demonetizes sill
Yer and provides for the cessation of
silver AS Mr.. Halstead knows.
Third-Because it enables the Secre-
tary of the Treasury to control the
money supply, the value of money,
and the price of silver bullion at his
discretion as far as it is possible to do
so by an abuse of government powers.
AS Mr.. Halstead knows.
Fourlh-It is swindle because it
perpetuates the control OF money in the
hands of the corporations in the Pluto
cratic States, in whose interest the
Treasury is managed. AS Mr.. Hal
stead knows.
Fiftb-Itis a swindle because it helps
the Northeast to take S1.1O and up
wards back for every 81 it allows to
come West AS Mr.. Halstead knows.
Sixth-It is an outrageous and in
famous swindle because it corners sill
xyn htIi ny,1rp u -
it at the expense of the people by using
their money to buy it at higher prices
fixed at the discretion of the Secretary
of the Treasury; and because when it
is thus purchased, it provides for stor-
ing it in the Treasury; and keeping
it cornered, while gold received Oh th
81 900 certificates of deposit issued to
spectators can be reinvested by them
IN bullion, which can be by them re-
sold to the Treasury at the expense of
the people whenever the Treasury
makes further advance of price. AS
Mr.. Halstead shows.
If we suppose that Mr.. Halstead has
already bought 900 ounces of silver
bullion and sold them for gold at the
Treasury, all he has to do Is to rein
vest in silver bullion when the Treas
ury depresses the price and sell it for
gold again When the treasury raises
the prices. We have only to suppose
him doing this little while with 1.-The
tip from the inside" to sup
pose him presently in the possession |
of more money than he could make
writing newspaper editorials in five
centuries. He could afford to give
enough money to the campaign fund
to buy Cabinet place.
We do not suppose anything of the
kiad about Mr.. Halstead, because we
have seen him caring his living by |
good hard work during his whole life.
But we do suppose that he knows men
who are doing it and who will go on
doing it. And so, Mr.. Halstead, we
have called the bill a swindle because it
is swindle. If you want more specifi-
cations we can give them to you when
you have digested these e.-~Rep06lac.

Lifting by Arithmetic.

Civil engineers are mostly common

ally turns. up among them, says the st.
Louis Globe Dsm0cyat One of the oldest
| ever met lives here in st. Louis He is
IN old man, thoroughly educated in his
business and Il paragon of cxactness, even
for mathematician
Not many months ago nc was called to
East 81. Louis to make new survey of
an old line originally run by himself. On
the first survey he had driven certain
corner stake deep in the ground and COW
cred it up with large stone. When he
came to the spot he got spade and
cleared the soil away from around the
stone, and then cleaned it OFF nicely with
some dry leaves, top and sides.
Next he look out his rule and made n
careful measurement of the stone, which
he used moment later on the basis of
calculation to determine its weight.
When he saw the product his face lighted
up with joy, for the number of pounds,
ounces and drains represented therein
was within the limit of his lifting power.
lie made no attempt to lift the stone as n
means of testing his ability to handle it,
but relied on his mathematical knowledge
to settle that point for him. This is the
only case | ever knew where man de-
monstrated his own lifting power by the
use Of arithmetic.

Axtell. tho sloa 600 Coli.

Since the great Dexter excitement OF
more than twenty years ago. no event
has occurred in the horse world which
has created SO much interest rs the
achievements and sale Of the young
stallion AXtcll. In fact, the hitter event
so far surpassed the former that com.
parison Of the two forcibly illustrates
the great advance of the American road
horse during the period of little more
than twenty years. When Dexter made
his record Of II mile in 2 IN, he was
of mature age, and nj the summit of his
powers. Yet this speed was so fnr in
advance of previous performances that
the gclding was sold soon after for
$33, 900. In the more recent event
Axtcll is only three years old, yet he
goes II mile in ZIP, and is sold for II
price nearly three and II quarter times
greater than was paid for Dexter.
The history Of Axtell is as brief MS sen.
sational. lie WAS foalcd in 1886, bred
raised, trained, and driven by Charles H.
Williams, II young man, Of Independence,
Iowa. His first victory was 1T KcolSuk,
Iowa, August D, 1889, where he won in
three straight heats, in2:50i, PAIN, and
2:31l. AS it was n race for three yenr-
Odds, he was protested, and the protest
sustained. But this though il deprived
his owner of the Immediate results of the
victory, made it the more remarkable.
During the same year the colt was tr0ttcd
Mt Chicago, Minneapolis, Dcs Moincs,
Cedar Rapids, and Lexington, Ky, re-
firing with the uncxampIcd record, for IL
two ycar-old, of 2 :23.
On the opening of the season Of 1889,
Axtcll was IN object of eagcr interest and
great expectations which he has more
than fulfilled. lie began by winning a
stallion race at Chicago III 2:19, PA,
and 2:20. This left him the cham
pion of three yenr-olds. He wore
this honor but few weeks, however,
when the California lilly Sunol trottcd in
2:13l. But her triumph was short lived
for Mt indianapolis, October II, Axtcll
trotted n mile in PIP, beating his own
time by two seconds, the three year old
record by one and three quarter seconds,
the stallion record by one and one -q,ar-
ter seconds, and making him the most
famous horse in the world. Soon after
the race Axtcl was sold for S105, 900 to
Col. j. w. Conlcy, of Chicago, who rep
resented IL syndicate, which included
Col. Conlcy, w. p. Ijams, Of Tcrrc
