THE MCKINLEY BILL PASSED.

The most iniqnitous tariff legislation
yet devised by II republican congress,
the Mckinley bill, was cOnsum mated,
so far as the house was concerned, by
its passage under party spur aud lash,
at high noon Wednesday,. The meas
IRE received lG4 votes against l42.
The only republican voting against the
bill was Mr.. Coleman, OF Louisiana.
MIR. Featherstonc, the Arkansas
Wheeler, voted with the democrats
against it. The four republicans from
Missouri voted for the bill, and all the
democrats voted against it except
Messrs. Stone, Walker and Norton.
Mr.. Walker was present in the house
but did not vote. Messrs. Stone and
Norton were absent from the city.
Just before the final passage of he bill
Mr.. Carlisle fittingly closed his illustri-
Gus career in the house by Introducing
the following resolution, which was
defeated by a vote of 140 to 1864:
Resolved, That the pending bill be
re- committed TO the committee ON
WAYS and means, with instructions TO
report the same back to the house at
the earliest possible day so amended
by substitute or otherwise as to reduce
the revenues Of the government by re-
ducing the burdens of taxation on the

MAKE FOR YOURSELF A HOME.

: This is the commencement season
the end of school, but the beginning OF
life. To those who r about TO be
graduated from the various colleges OF
our beautiful little city we have a word
to say, only a word, and 1t is this:
Whatever your ambitions, whatever
your hopes, whatever your dreams,
whatever the goal you set for yourself
as the full measure of success in this
life, let all of these have as the central
idea the attainment OF a home. Not
merely the acquisition OF 9 house in
which to live - boards and plaDks,
bricks and mortar, marble and stone,
though some of these are essential, but
those subtler OF refinement.
tender solicitude, gentle words, laugh-
ter, the music of baby prattle, patience,
consideration, fortitude, love.
Every young man should, above all
material possessions, desire TO W his
home, to sit under his own vine and
fig tree. Every young woman should
keep In mind that she will be happier,
and more fully than In any other way
fulfill the purposes of her being by
reigning as the mistress of such a home.
The most beautiful picture IN life is
that of the virtuous and coDtented
home of q young man aud woman.
Full OF robust health and strength, in
spired with hope; if not with wealth.
enjoying a competency which philoso-
ply and religion conduce to render
sufficient, with the trailing vine and
blooming rose about the door step,
nth sufficient labor to render repose a
luxury, what more exguisitsIy beautiful
than the life OF the lover-wife and hus-
band, proud Of their home, prond of
each other, and prouder still of their
fair-hsired boy, or dark-eyed girl, that
pledge Of ibsir love, which in their
eyes Is the fairest of the fair? All, let
not ambition tempt You, or avarice
sway you, from 6rst OF all laying the
foundations for this home. Begin early.
Be self reliant, but self denying. too.
Save. plan, contriye. In your associa
ton with the other sex think not only
of beauty aud wit: set your ideal high.
For husband or wife ain at nothing
less than the best that Christian charac.
ter can give you. And whatever igneS
Ggtpi may tempt you sway after other
gods
''Cling to thy homet II there the meanss:

George Burnett. who was appointed
by Gov. Francis as street commissicn er
Of st Louis, was elected president OF
the board OF public improvements OF

THE ST. JOSEPH CONVENTION.

The democratic state convention
which will assemble at st. Joseph June
IL, promises to bring together a larger
body OF democrats than hes tor years
attended our conventions. IL is appar-
ent that there will not only be a full
representation of accredited delegates,
but that a very large number of the
rank and file of the party will be on
hand for the double purpose of watch
ing the work of the convention, and,
on the part of many of them, visiting
for the first time the beautiful city of
the northwest. And they will be well
repaid for going. 1t is tru the selec-
ton Of st. Joseph as the place for hold-
ing the convention was criticised as
being remote and not central; still il is
almost as central and as easy OF access
as st. Louis or Kansas City. Ii is
touched by all the great railway lines
aud railroad fares will be SO reasonable
that the expense of travel will be insig-
ni6cant. All the disadvantages OF the
selection will be more than counter
balanced by the opportunity hundreds
of citizens of Missouri will have see
ing one of the most beautiful cities west
of the Mississippi river, and for be-
holding for the first time the inconceiy-
able beauties and richness OF the famed
"Platte Purchase" They will traverse
q country which the Almighty has
blessed with His most benignant smile
They will find a city and q country
where wealth, prosperity, civilization
and content make their abode. The
rank luxuriance of the cornfields will
astonish them. The illimitable fields
OF wheat stretching before the vision
like the billowy sea will excite their
admiration. The vast area OF pasture
lands where the blue grass finds it's
home and herds of fat cattle revel in
it's luxurisnce, the perfect variation 81
woodland aud prairie, the beautiful
homes, the school-houses dotting every
hill, the pretty villages and prosperous
towns every where, will be revelations
to many who have only heard of-not
seen-this beautiful land of redeemed
promise. In the city OF st. Joseph they
will find miles upon miles of the most
perfectly paved streets in the state;
lines OF electric railways swiftly and
silently searching the heart and every
environ and suburb; manufactures the
extent of whose products few people
have dreamedl Public and private
buildings OF splendid architecture and
artistic adornment; adjacent lakes and
parks of exquisite beauty a Wholesale
trade outstripping YER Kansas City; a
city free from the clutches of the Bos-
ton mortgage and owned by its "
people. In a word, they will find a
prosperity almost unrivalled in the
west, the consequence of no ephemeral
"boom" but stable and "come to stay"
All this and much more, the visitors
at the convention will see. Besides the
city has organized itself into one vast
committee of reception and entertain
ment. On this occasion even the re-
publicans and greenbackers and prohi-
| bitionists will have become democrats
and the banners of welcome will all be
hanging ON the outer walls u The
latch-string will be dispensed with, for
the doors will be found wide open.
It will pay you to go to st. 10.

PROBATE J%UDGESHIP.

Is II a fair objection? Understanding
that some OF the opposition to the NOM
of Judge Nenophon Ryland for
Judge of probate is based on third
termism, | ask the above question.
His opponent, Judge William Young,
has occupied three offices, viz: Sheriff,
county Judge and prosecuting attorney,
and he is now in Office and has held the
Office of tax attorney for Lafayette
county, under Judge Harrison and also
under the present collector, Mr.. Worth
Mr.. Worthington no doubt
will re-appoint him. So Young is not
only in Office now, but has u certainty
of being retained in office for two years
longer. The people have given Judge
RyIand but II term and a hall in office,
and is il fair that~be should be displac-
cd by a fellow democrat nov holding Il
lucrative Office worth at least 5000 to
81 900 per year, when that democrat is
a thrce.ofice maj beside? Let rs be just
and consistent. JUSTICE.
