MAILING A LIE.
From the Col, mbia Herald |


The Globe Democrat is paper with
IJots OF brains but little conscience.
Among other lies I'm an editorial In
Mopdsy's issue is this: "The business,
educational and religious interests OF
Missouri are all controlled by the
republicans. Such a reckless state
ment Is easy to make but difficult TO
d.sprnve. But that 1t is false every
lair minded man knows and will admit.
There is no way of ascertaining exactly
how much of the business and religious
interests of Missouri are controlled by
this party or by that. The same ss
true TO some extent of the educational
interests. II is little singular, how!
ever. that those counties that give the
largest democratic majoriiies arc az q
rule the most largely blessed with
schools. Boone, Galloway, Andrain,
Howard, Saline, Lafayette, Henry,
Johnson, Vernon, Clay, Ray and many
| Others are examples. These are the
counties In which are situated the
colleges aud seminaries of the state,
built mp almost entirely by private
subscriptions, and every one OF these
counties is overwhelmingly democratic.
While politics has cut no figure In the
management of these schools, aud
would MT. II may be remarked that
every great institution of learning In
the state, with scarcely an exception,
from the university down, is ."cOn-
trolled by the" democrats.
AS for the business and religious
interests there are no statistics upon
which TO base an opinion. We are
confident, however, that great major.
ity Of Missouri's clergy as we'll 40 of
tile communicates of the various
churches, ARE democrats. Most certain
ly the towns which are the most enter
prising and business like, are detpo.
cratic. Such as Springfield, Sedalia.
st. Joseph, IisRnibal, c Clinton, Nevada,
Butler, Mexico, Fsyette, Fulton.
The counties controlled by republican
are, with few exceptions, comparatively
+. poor aud unsnppiied with schools and
social advantages. Miller county Ia

lately, II now. q single church at its
county seat. Tame, ,onnty the poorest
in Missouri, is republican and so art

A PAIR OF FEET.

From the st. Louis Globe DemocIat.l
IL may be stated without fear Oi dis

possessOr OF bigger feet than any other
woman in the country. The young lady
who is now but Is years Ot age, order

they are now very nearly finished. Tho
shoes are thu largest ever turned out In
st. Louis. The last over which they
we're constructed measures l5a inches
in length and Al inches In width st the
ball OF the foot. There is enough leather
| In one OF the heels to build I've pairs OF
ordinary ladies' shoes, and the leather
| in each shoe would be- sufficient, II 1t all
could be utilized, to make thirty pairs
of ordinary shoes. A. w. Foote. who
! made the last, states that within the
period Of his eighteen years experience
in the shoe business, he has never seen

HOW 1T GAME ABOUT.
From the Harrison County Jourpal.I

From the h8FrisOn Couuty SOuTuhi.l
The Republican last week published
an article from the Maysville Republi.
can Pilot containing the following val
liable information: ''
"In 1865, when the republicans took
charge of the state, the debt was $780,.
O94 ,9O8. In 1871 It had been reduced
10 20,8S9 900. The republicans de-
creased the state debt Sl5, ,205 ,90S in
six years, or about 81, SOC, 900 per an
mum. The democrats haye decreased
the state debt 80, ,581 900 in seventeen
years, or about $500 900 per annum "
When the republicans came into con-
troll of the state they found large
stale Indebtedness, but 1t was mostly
for bonds given to aid the construction
of railroads, for which the state he'll a
first mortgage lien on the railroads.
The republicans pretended to sell the
mortgaged property, -but 1t was 80
bunplingly and fraudulently done that
they hardly realized half what the Sc
curiu,s were worth, and they were
generally sold to political fsvoriiies
who were the lowest and least respon
sible bidders. The frauds and jobs
were so glaring that Gov. Fletcher
was generally called the biggest rail
roadthief the country ever produced, ,anC
that fame C0nliuues even until this day
Therefore the republicans are entitled
to no credit whatever, for reducing the
state debt. but should be charged io

squandering the securities. Ii is gen

MR.. TILDEN DESCRIBES REED.
lFrom the New York Sun.

That issue is the same as when
Samuel j. Tildcn summoned united
democracy TO its historic post OF duty
as the guardian OF the institutions
which the fathers Of the republic found
ed and the defender of the constitution
of the United States:
1.-The democracy advances 10 fight
anew the battle against centralism and
corruption, to which it was first led by
Thomas jefferson in the nation aud By
George Clinton In the state of New
York.
"The equilibrium of our whole pOlit
ical system is in danger of being over.
thrown and despOtic and corrupt
centralism established.
"The creed of the democratic party
is comprised in two ideas: First, tc
limit as much as possible all govern
mental power, enlarging always ant
@, erywhere the domain OF individual
Judgment aud action; secondly, t.
throw back the governmental power
necessary to be exercised as much a
possible upon the states and the local.
ties, approaching in every case tn
individuals to be affected.
"These ideas dominate over tn
democratic party and find in 1t thei

HE KICKED THE DOOR OPEN.

Washington, Sept. 1S-There was
scene of excitement on the republican
side of the house this afternoon. The
Virginia election case was the unfinisb
ed business, but the house Itself was
engaged i'm the technical proceeding OF
trying TO approve yesterdays journal.
The democratic members were endeav-
0ring in every way to prevent the con-
sideration of the election case aud in
pursuance of this policy almost all of
them lett the hall,to break a quorum on
the question OF approving the journal.
A call was ordered, which brought In y
number of democrats, and yea aud
nay vote was being taken on motion
to dispense with further proceedings
under the call, when the democratic
members again began 10 decamp.
MIR. Burrows called the attention OF
the speaker to the fact and asked il the
members present could not be obliged
to remain. The speaker replied tina,
the rules were Intended u secure this
eud. He added that he did not see why
they were not observed. Accordingly
the assistant doorkeeper, Mr.. IiOnk

The Grand Canyon Route.

The St. Louis Republic of the 18th inst. contains an account of meet at Denver, of the directors of the Col Crldo River Canyon railroad. The ob- .ect of the meeting was to hear the preliminary report of Colonel Stan ton on his journey down the liver. Il consisted of short account of what was almost an unknown country and was taken almost entirely from the letters of Colonel Stanton previously published. There was also an approx innate preliminary statement of the expense of building the road that was not made public, being intended for the use of the president of the com pany in interesting capitalists in the enterprise. The report was extremely favorable to the building of the rail road, notwithstanding reports made by J. w. Powell to the effect that it was an impossibility. The proposed line is from Grand Junction down the Grand river, down the Colorado, with a seaport and terminus at San Diego, the estimated distance being 1,200 miles. Colonel Stanton has left for the Needles to complete the survey to the Gulf of California. Returning he will devote his attention to compiling full report and anticipates six months work on it. He has upwards of 2,0OO notes and 1000 photographs to in- corporate Tn the report. The volume will be finely illustrated and contain d map of the country with continu- ous photographs presenting a pam orama of the canyon throughout it's entire length.
 Late ad,ices received are to the el- feet that the mineral resources of the canyon are vast and very rich.
