Papers.

Papers.
Editor Burnett in the Paris Mercury
ulters n sensible sentiment in this;-
"Petty iealousies and chickering's
should be hushed in the democratic
party in Missouri. and the issues
should be made up, "cleau cut and
well rounded" and the republican
party and its high tariff, trust loving
policy be buried ont OF sight"
-
Editor Bittinger in the st. Joseph
Herald ssys:-
"What is known as the Newberry
law Is practically a dead letter in Kan
sas City. Games at cards and dice
throwing have been resumed in nearly
all the saloons, and are played nearly
ss openly as before the law took
effect"
Well, why don't the republican
mayor, Mr.. Davenport, enforce the
law?
Brother McMullin, of the Jefferson
"ho "dlb I6V6I
head, punctures bladder ihus:-
"a fellow, who signs himself "La-
borer," has published an article In the
Bonne Terre Register in which he
states that if democratic policies were
toprevsil and the tariff on lead reduced,
such companies as the ST. Joe Lead Co.
would have to shut up their works and
throw their hosts of employees out Of
work. We have seen a statement pub
lished that The profits aud dividends of
this company the past year reached
over iorty per cent, notwithstanding
the fact that during that time they
have built railroad from Bonne Terre
| to Peyely and made other valuable and
permanent improvements. The asser
tion that reduction in duties, pro-
posed by the democratic party, would
close up or seriously injure such al
enterprise Is simply "rOt;" but il 10
just such stuff that the people are fed
on during political SlnI asses by rep
resentatiyes of the republican party"
."
Editor Muntord in the Times says
| "In the table of the increase and
total wealth OF the state published by
the New York World, Missouri no,
only retains fifth place but she shows q
ratio OF Increase greater than that OF
any OF the states which lead her. iii
nOis showed almost no increase in ter
years, while the total valuation oI
wealth in Missouri almost doubled
Missouri, In the variety aud richness
OF her resources OF wealth, il excelled
by no state in the union, and at the
present rate of develo pinent il will mo-
oe long before she will pass Illinois
and Ohio"
Editor j. Guinney in the Pierce Cit,

ton is pensioning the Indiana troops

lug and great mortality In next year.

like robbery, bnt il is no worse thar

Democrat philosophers:
"Thst man is most unhappy who's

governed by his revenges"

3 Editor Murray, OF the Liberty Ad
vance, looks at the matter this way =
1.-THE democrats will not heed lh
advice given by the Marysville Herald
, to "not carry mans indiyiduslit
into canvass for election 10 the legis
ature." The democrats of Missouri
want Senator Vest to succeed himself
and each democratic county shoul,
, send a Vest man TO the Legislature
There should be no scattering vote
tor Tom, Dick and Harry, but a soli'
delegation for Vest. i'crchance Carve
has in his mind a possible northwes
candidate for Vests seat. 1t won

George Graham Vest"

And the Marshall Democrat News i
somewhat the same vein ssys:-
; "The Kansas CITY Times reports ex

= The Pennington Times, Theo. Flshe
editor, hits the nail squarely on tn
head in "these few lines":-
