ute TO a noble order:
"The Kings Daughters were Or
Sanizcd less than four years ago ito do
good in Ills name,' and to- day there
are 1888 little silver crosses worn by
yonng women in this country as a
badge OF the order, while other thou
sands wear only the little white ribbon.
No organization has grow SO rapidly,
and none has done more good work
with less pretence than the Kings
Daughters. Their mission is to do
good and help the needy wherever
they are fonnd.
Editor Wright. of the New Madrid
Record, may be way down the river,
but he is clearly with his state. lie
says:
"Grand Old Missouri Trusts and
combines for robbing the people by
limiting supply aud appreciating prices,
are falling before the anti trust law
like leaves before autumn winds, and
those which persistently hang on will
be blighied by the iros,s of the charter
forfeiting clause of the law"
FRANK N. SOsey Ill the Palmyra
Spectator:
"Tbe December returns OF the prices
of farm products to the agricultural
department at Washington show that
the averages are lower than ever before
known. AS a further evidence of the
| unprOtitableness and decline of farm
| ing the report of the lecturer to the
| MARYLAND state grange declares that
farming in that section is lost cause
that farm lands have undergone al
shrinkage in value of from 25 to 80 per
cent, and that the farmers of the best
counties in Maryland were not looking
Tor profits int were struggling TO make
both ends meet. While the prices OF
farm products are declining, the pro.
| tected iron manufacturers are rel orted
to be preparing TO raise the prices of
iron. 0nd thereby still add to the bur-
dens of the farmer. What justice eau
| there be in law under which the
prices of faIm products reach their
lowest limits and the iron iDanuiac-
l'rrers are enabled to combine and raise
/ prices OF iron2 II the farmer is
p, ,Ntected equally with the manuiac-
tGrer, why this difference in the prices
OF the different prodncts?"

makes the following cal! upon demo-
Gratis throughout the state:
.'The democratic central committee
met in ST. Louis last week and elected
Frank Walker secretary and took steps
Tor more thorough organization of the

will arouse from their lethargy and
prepare themselves for the coming

Editor Sam Cook, of the Mexico
Ledger, claims that Audrain county Is
the greatest fowl raiser in the west,
aud thus quotes tho St. LOUIS Republic
TO prove Il.
"Thcre is no market in all this broad
land that can boast of any finer turkeys
than are sold in st. Louis. Raising
turkeys for the st. Louis market is al
industry that has become very reInu-
neratIve aud in certain parts of this |
state and Illinois farmers are making a
specially of il. For instance, Boone
aud Audrain counties, In Missouri, and |
Perry county, Illinois have become |
taimous, not alone hC re, but also in the |
eastern markets as well, for the supe. |
rior quality Of the turkeys they provide. |
Buyers never object to paying All extra
price Tor the above mentioned fowls :"

Editor Williams, of the Columbia |
Herald, struck wildly when he penned |
he following:
, candidate for United States senator il |
will place State Senator Norton B.
Anderson in an awkward position
That gentleman Is pledged to vote for
Vests reelection"
Judge Norton will not be 10 the race
tor senator, and Senator Anderson is a
gentleman who always knows what he
is doing when ne makes pledges.
Editor bradshaw, of the Lebanon
Rustic, thus seconds Mr.. Geo. Wilson's
nomination of Hon. X. p Bland for
president:
There can he no question but that
with Mr.. Bland at the head OF the dem.
ocraIic ticket he could carry the states
of Colorado, Nevada, Montana and
California on his well known silver
record. His nomination without a
single uttcrauce on the silver question
would mean free coinage and those
states would vote for him-ignoring all
other questions lie would carry New
York and the other democratic states
and thus secure a majority of the cleo
toral college. There is not another
prominent democrat who could hope
10 carry Colorado aud Nevada, aud the
democrats will lose Montana with a
doubtful silver policy in their platform
The party can lose the Empire state
| again by nominating a factional candi-
daie - IA any New York candidate
would be. Then why will party lead
crs bllndIy-through prejudice or per-
sonal favoritism-Iead the party to de.
feat when victory is so certain7 For
President of the United States, Richard
L. Bland"
Editor Tetwilcr, speaking through the
columns OF the Charleston Democrat,
fires the following broad-ide:
"ln recent years, beyond doubt
many democrats have remained away
from the polls under the belief tnat
their help was in nowisc required to
keep the state right. Their position,
while correct, has an element of danger
in il that can no longer be overlooked
or ignored. The enemy, flushed with
the proximity of victory, aud the goal
| apparently just IN sight, are even now
| forming Il campaign upon which its
| very existence in this state Is staked,
and with hearts bounding with hope
republicans will be making even more
strenuous efforts than ever heretofore
to rout the democracy. That these ef-
forts will prove futile we verify be-
lieve, but, at the same time, the duty
n every democrat ia plain. No longer
can he afford to stand idly by while his
! comrades win the battle. lie must
| throw himself in the midst OF the fight.
No longer can he tlirt with the svrens,
independents so called, but repuhli-
cans disguised to fleece him, in what
ever gait may their msidinus and
tempting approach be cast. He mus
