AFTER the smoke of battle clears
away all will admit that President
Harrison made no mistake in the APP
p%ointncnt Of a postmaster for this

the fitness and high standing of the
unsuccessful applicants, when We say
that Judge Starnpli had elements Of
strength mt possessed ty any Of the
othc!s. That tic party is strength
cned Ivy HE appointment is just as
potent as the fact That he will make
a most excellent postmaster which is

1t is susceptible OF demonstration
that the republicans can carry Mis-
souri, al the next election and secure
a majority in the Legislature. With
even 4 less ratio of gain than made
in the past eight years the republi-
cans would obtain a plurality in the
safe at large, ard overcome the
small democratic mHj0ritics in the
closely contested counties. The sit
uation is therefore sufficiently en-.
conraging to call out the hopeful en-
ergy of the party in ali parts Of the
Missouri ought to be a re.
publican state. Her prosperity de-
Ponds wholly upon the maintenance

The democratic party might as
well look out for its laurels for it has
q hard time ahead of it. The farm.
crs propose to have something to say
in the politics of the west, and they
see nothing in the d,mocratic party
to admire. The Farmers Alliance
in Cole county is growing a little too
fast for the old wal horse, but the
world do move, and it will move Vest
out Of the senate if he don't watch

RUINED BY DRUGS.
A Horrible Example of the Effects
Mnruhine and Cocaine,

A Horrible Example OF the Effects of
Morphine and Cocaine.
A man with more than 1000 scars on his
body lies on cot at the County Hospital
He is victim Of the use of morphine, CO.
caine and other powerful drugs. His story
is an interesting one, and, as DR.. Mcnamara
says, che is an excellent subject for novel
ist'' When an attendant removed the
clothing OF the patient yesterday the skin of
his enIaciated torn looked like that OF
tatto oed man. he was black and blue from
neck to ankles, The result Uf i've years use
OF hypodermIc syringe.
The mans name Is George Moyneaux, or
MaynearI, French physician of 80, learned
in his profession, speaking four languages,
and a graduate OF Inc University OF Heluel-
berg, Germany.
He was picked up Sunday night at Hal
sted and jackson streets. His clothing WAS
old and torn, and he looked Ike a tramp.
He had taken Il dose OF atr0pla, one of tue
deadliest OF poisOns, and in one Vi his peck
cts were found Two Walls, one containing
enough afro la to Kill fifty men, and about
fifteen grains OF cocaine in the other. AT
the hospital MoyneauX at first refused to
give his name, but alter some persuasion
DR.. Mcnamara secured II and portion of
the uniortunate's history.
After graduating at Heidelberg Moyneaux
went to Paris, where he built up ncra-
tive practice. Several yeaIS after estab-
fishing himself In the French capital MOy-
neauX began 10 experiment with the use OF
morphine and cocaine He chose himself 10
practice upon. He took the drugs i'll mod
crate injections, and one day ha thought he
had made grand discovery. lie found lie
could take cocaine with IMMUNITY, and couu-
,eract its effects by taking atropia. This
theory has long ago been exploded by medl-
cal men, except that atropla taken with
morphine or COCAINE will kill the effects of
either OF the drugs and leave the patient in
the condition he was before he took the
poison.
However, Moyneaux's experiments ended
'disaStTously, and lie fell a victim to cocaine
and morphine. Shortly before lie fell into
the street Saturday night lie had injected
ten grains OF cocaine into his body, and,
still believing in hi, old theory, had taken a
dose of atrOpia. He evidently took too
much, as it rendered him unconscious. This
was the sad end of his former splendid Ca
reer in Paris, where he lost his practice and
came to America. Here he sunk lower and
lower, every cent he could procure going to-
ward the purchase of the only poison that
could give him temporary bliss.
MOyneauX suffered untold agony yesIer-
day. He was given an injection of two
grains of morphine, but this was not one
twentieth OF the amount sufficient for him,
and he begged aud pleaded in tour different
languages to be gwen the injector and q
bottle of cocaine. The man. writhed and
twisted about Ill a frightful manner, and
stared like wild man at those about him.
Finally DR.. Mcnamara had to take extreme
bed. HE will die, said the doctor, land
there is no help for him, he is so far gone. |
never before saw such desperate CASE
