REDIsTRIOTING MISSOURI.
From the Columbia Herald. 4

From The Columbia Herald.I
The new census, which will show
Missouri TO have population OF at
least 100000, will necessitate q re-
districting of the state for congression-
al and legislative districts. Boone
county though showing gain in popu-
lation, will not have sufficient to give
her another representative In the
lower house. The senatorial district,
composed now of Howard and Boone.
will probably remain unaltered. No
change in the judicial district Is antici-
pated.
The congressional districts will be
remodeled. however, by the next legis-
lature. The sOlons will have Q merry
old time ut the work. Each prominent
statesman will want to be placed In o
district that will send him to congress,
and as there are q great many more
prominent statesmen than districts
clashing may be expected.
The sixth district will probably be
chopped up again. Senator Major will
make fight to have Howard and Boone
put In district north of the river. If
this be done, Lafayette, Henry, or some
other strong democratic county, must
be added to the old sixth district or
the republicans will capture It. The
counties near Boone, north Of the
river, are all largely democratic,
Howard, Galloway, Monroe, Randolph
and Andrain. Some republican coun-
ties ought to be thrown In 10 even
things up. ~
The woods are full of prospective
candidates and the politicians have
opportunity tor q great deal Of guess
ing not only as TO the complexion Of
the new districts but as to the probable
nominees.

DAVITT ON PARNELL.
He Says the Irish Party Has Gone to
Splinters. aud Parnell Did it.
The Grand Old Man, Gladstone, Replies to
Parnelps Manifesto, and Polntadly
Brands Certain Statements as False.
Michael Dayi,t interviewed.

LONDON, Nov. 29.-Mr. Davitt was
interviewed to-day regarding the present
political crisis. He said: ''It is all ter
rihly sad and sickenng. If the Irish
party mud been aware of the circum-
stances and acted with courage at first
all would have been well. They wers
bswi!dered, and no wonder. Here all
are now in spliniers. Parneli g mani
festo is the last desperate move. / do
not see how he could have struck Ireland
such a blow. He is furious against the
ejority of his party, and, in his anger
against them and Gladstone letter, he
runs nmurk. According to him num-
ber of members of his own party are
fnlse, and Gladstone aud English Lib
eral wire-pullerS are scheininX against
him. The bome-ruie proposals outlined
ut Haawar6eD were entirely inadequate.
The last OF these is the most important,
in Parneil's opinion, but he forgets that
he agreed to
SIMILAR PROPOSALS
in the bill of 1888. He now declares
against the cutting down of Irish repre-
sentstioD ut Westminster, but in 1886 he
agreed TO clause p of the bill which ex-
Guided Irish representation, and further
agreed to clauses retaining for time
imperial control of police and judiciary.
1.-The land bill proposed by Gladstone
was quite apart from the home-rule
question and finally abandoned. Parnell
there convicts himself. Why did he not
make this appeal before? These Haawar-
den proposals were as bad then rs now.
Besides - continued Davitt, 1--WE have
yet TO know whether Paraell did not
agree to them. Gladstone, Morley and
l believe William O'Brien and party
were parties TO the company. They are
now called upon to speak out. Mean
while, no matter what the manifesto
may do for ParHell's own position, he
has
SHATTERED ALL HOPE
of home rule Tor years, and that, too,
for personal ends and revenge. just as in
1882 he shattered the land league to get
out of the Kiimainham jail, and was
prepared in 1888 TO smash his party and
debauoh the institutions of his country to
thrust O'Shea in Galway on the election.
Dillon, O'Brien and Sexton ought to de-
pose him from the leadership. He has
brought a terrible disaster, but not COM
plete ruin to home rule.

defendants who had not answered, but
refused 10 read his plradings or iHafs0s
duce any evidence as to the other de-
Pendants. The court thereupon ren-
dered judgment upon the merits for all
the defendants who had answered.
Held; Under these circumstances the
only order the court could properly have
made was one Diminishing appellants

defendants who answered. For the
error of the court In rendering judgment
on the merits instead of disrn issins the

from Travis. l. Appellant as tax col
lector OF Bexar county sold certain lands
for taxes which were purchased by the
state. This state did not nay the colleo-
tor his costs or commissions. Suisse
quently the owner redeemed the lands
by paying to the collector double the
amount for which they were sold. The
tax collector paid to the state the amount
received after deducting the amount of
his own costs and commissions. The
state contends that he was entitled to re-
tain no more than the original amount of
costs and commissions due him. and in
stituted this suit and recovered the ex-
cess Held: No provision is made for a
tax collector to receive interest or double
costs and fees in a case OF this character.
This case strongly suggests the propriety
of some legislation upon the subject
making an equitable provision with
reference to the fees and costs due the
officer in such cases. Affirmed. Henry,
