Weather for June.

IrI r. Hicks, in his storm chart
for 1880, has been remarkably accu-
rate IN his forecasts, especially for
the month of May. Here IS what he
says about June:
1.-The first two or three days OF
June will be clear and COOL. On en-
.cring the first storm period about
the 3rd it will turn very warm and
culminate IN some very hard storms
abnut the tth, 9TH ani Oh. Ga or
near the 10Th and 1Ith there will be
hard re- rc.ac:Ionary storms, with much
rain, IN all probability continuing
into the storm perud from the lftlf
TO the 18Th. THIS is the summer
solstice period and much continued
rain with whole nights Of continuous
lightning and thunder, Is very prob
allie. DO not be alarmed, II it oc-
ours it will be more grand than dan
gerous. Mercury on tie 18th Will
prolong the re-actionary tendency
from abon. the 2lst, so that eo3-
slnued ''wpt spell' msy fill Inc gap
ap to the last period, -tieginning the
30.h. Upon the whole we calculate
that June will he verv wet month

The StGte Tnkef.

Following Is a bI sef sketch OF the
men nominated by the Democracy
of Missouri, in convention, at st.
Joseph:
THE NEXT SUPREME JUDGE,
Judge James B. CAN'T, of Henry
county, the Successful candidate in
the long drawn out deadlock for SUI
preme judge and who only succeed
ed after twelve hours of balloting,
was born in Putnam county, Ca, in
October, 1915. He worked on his
fathers farm until he was 16 years
of age when he enlisted in the
Twelfth Georgia regiment, c. S. A.,
and served through the war IN
StonewaIl Jaukson's brigade. AT the
battle of Gettysburg he was shot in
the knee while ,heltcrlDg wounded
federal soldier in the retreat after
Plckett's famou, d clarge. This
wound was what rendered him q
cripple for life. In the battle Of the
Wilderness he was shot through the
left hand and was again disabled at
the battle of Cedar Creek, October
10, 1864. After the close of hostili-
ties he began the study OF law at
Macon, Ca, and after his prepara-
tory studies entered the university
of Virginia, and was graduated frcm
that institution in 1868, when he re-
moved to st. Louis and began the
active practice of his profession. In
1869, he moved to Clinton, Henry
county, from whence he removed
short time after to Sedalia. At the
latter place he entered the law firm
of Vest & Phillips, the firm name
becoming Vest, Phillips & CAN'T.
He practiced law at Sedalia for sew
eral years, bat early becoming sat-
isfied that Sedalia would never be
able to get the capital removed from
Jefferson City to its gates he retired
from the firm and again took up his
residence In Clinton, Henry county,
where he has since resided. In 1880
he was elected judge of the Twenty.
second circuit. He served one term
and declined a denomination. Since
that time he has been practicing his
profession in the courts of the state.

lands now held for speculative pur-
poses should be taxed at its just val
ue. We favor the forfeiture of all
land grants TO corporations not ac-
tually earned, and that measures be
taken to prevent aliens from holding
or acquiring title to land in the
United States and territories of
America.
The Democracy of Missouri favors
the purity of the ballot, the passage
aud enforcement of all laws which
insure honest election and the amend
ment of the election law known as
the Australian ballot system, passed
by the lest general assembly of the
state, so that it may apply to all the
counties and permit any political
party or any individual to place q
ticket IN the field without having
given previous expression at the
polls.
The Democratic party founded, in
Missouri, and has ever favored q sys-
tenn of free education, and we point
with pride to the magnificent and
literally sustained public school sys
tenn of this state which 1t has inaug-
urated and fostered. We denounce
the combinations and trusts by which
the price of school books is largely
increased above a reasonable cost
and we favor such legislation as will
free the people from their grasp and
give school books to the children of
the state at reasonable cost.
We are justly proud of the splen-
did record made by our Democratic
senators and representative in the
present congress, and we point with
especial pleasure to the able and
courageous stand taken by the Hon.
George q. Vest in the United States
senate, in behalf of human liberty
and equal rights, by which he has
endeared himself to the Democracy
Of the entire union.
The Democratic party In Missouri
believes that public office is pub
lie trust, and it demands and will
require of every officer strict account
ability, honesty and efficiency, and
when in any case public officer has
proven recreant, it demands his re-
moval and punishment.
We refer with pride to the
prompt action of Governor Francis
in protecting the interests of the
state when a recent state officer
proved unfaithful as a guarantee,
that the interests of the state of
Missouri are in safe hands, and IN
striking contrast to the course of the
Republican party il shielding public
officials or promoting them to high
positions,
