STRAIGHT TRUTH.

From the Jefferson City Trlbuns.i
Considering the volume of matter
which has been published by faultfind
ing democrats and enemies of the party
about the losses sustained in 1883, il is
u little strange that they have all sig
nally failed to indicate the real causes
which were corruption and intimida
ton. Every element of ignorance and
vice was appealed TO which promised q
vote against democracy. The an
archists and socialists were even taken
into confidence in St. Louis and othe,
large cities while hired calummators
and characterless liar were sent into
the country districts to make the far
mers believe that Gov. Francis was n
dangerous man and only sought the
goyernorship in order to fasten a sys.
lem OF laws upon the state which would

class. There is not al Intelligent reader

Jefferson CITY, Mo-, Jan. 1.-The
report Of Jasper Burks, chief inspector

| of railroad and warehouse commis-
siOners yesterdsy. Ii covers the trans
actions of the department for the
months of November and December.
Inspector Burks says, In the document.
| that while the receipts OF grain have
been heavy during the past few weeks
and the capacity of the department has
been tested TO its utmost, general salts
faction has prevailed among shippers
and dealers. There have been a few
exceptions, but investigation has shown
that the dissatisfaction arises generally
from lack of information regarding
The system. it's objects, methods and
results. aud he has every reason 10 be-
lieve, from abundant evidence at hand,
that enemies of the system have pur-
posely created false impressions con-
cerning II for the accomplishment of
their own selfish ends. In applying
the established rules to the work OF
inspection, IL Is the universal rule with
The department TO give the benefit OF

to The shipper, and he asks no one to
judge OF the merits of the work from
statements aud assertions made by
other parties. He says 1t shall be his
aim aud purpose 10 carry out, In an
impartial manner, the object for which
the grain department was established,
ana ~ his efforts 10 do so asks no
quarter from public criticism; except
TO the extent Of fair play and reason
able allowance tor the Imperiectious
of human Judgment.
The report shows that duriug the
| month OF November there were In
| specied IN st. Louis 2,77O cars ard
zl, los sacks OF grain OF all kinds, and
III December 1859 cars and 1876 sacks.
This was inspected on arrival and on
out-inspection the total was 267 900

MISSOURI FINANCES.
lFrsm the Kansas City Star |

Tue Kansas civ Star
A balauce OF $685., ,7S9 has been trans
ferred by the state auditor OF Missouri
from the state interest fund to the state
sinking fund, after paying all interests
on the bonded debt and the interest on
ihe certificates of Indebtedness held In
trust by the state tor the benefit of the
school and seminary funds. Tbis bal.
ance 10 now available forreuripg bonds
not due aud will be used for that pur.
pose
The state debt OF Missouri on Jan. l.
1889, was $9, ,525 900. The amount Of
taxable realty AZ assessed was S55I,-
GAG 900, and the assessment of personal
property was s2s9, ,097 200. The
amount raised by taxation on this valu.
alton, at the rate OF ionr mills on the
dollar, was S2,SS9, ,b2S. 1t will thus be
seen that the taxes raised in Missouri
in 1889 aggregated nearly one-tbird
OF the entire debt of the state. With
the economy which Is pracficed In the
expenditure OF the public funds in Mis-
souri, II will not require many years, at
that rate, to wipe out the debt.
By comparing Missouri with Illinois.
where the valuation of taxable prom
erty Is about the same, il is shown that
IN Illinois. which has no siats debt at
all, the rate of taxation is ~ cents on
the 500, and the amount OF taxes
raised in 1883 was $3,004,95l, which
exceeds the taxes In Missouri for the
same period by $l65, ,42S. This is
strongly indicative of the care which
is exercised In the administration of the
public affairs in Missouri and Of the
healthy condition Of its finances.
In the meantime, the various elee-
mosynary institutions of the state have
not been stinied and the liberal appro.
priatlons have been made for worthy

Estimates Of the Cost of Construction
of the New Naval Vessels.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Bids were opened
at the navy department to-day for the con-
struction of three coast line-of- battle ships
and one protected triple screw cruiser pro-
vided for by act of congress approved June
30, $780, There were two classes of bids
for the battle ships, one for their construc-
tion according to the departments
plans and the other according to the
bidders plans. Bids were as
adelphia offered to build one Of the battle
ships according to the departments plans
for &, $50, 900, and two of them for S. 7S0,-
600; or, using their own plans, will build one
for 50, 100, 900 and two for SC, ,040, ,0OO This
firm offered to build the protected cruiser on
the departments plans for 81, ,725, 600
The Union Iron Works of San Francisco
offered to build one of the battle ships ac-
cording to the departments plans for So
240, 900, and two of them for So. 400 600.
Their bid for cruiser was $3025, 90
The Bath Iron Works of Bath Me, offered
to build one of the batole ships in accordance
with the departments plans for SO, ,149 coo:
and the Risdon Iron Works of San Fran
cisco offered TO build one of that class of
vessels for 1925, 900.
There were no other bidders, and in view
of the provision of the law that one of the
battle ships shall be built on the Pacific coast.
1t is likely that the Union Iron Works will get
the contract for one of the battle ships, and
the Cramps will probably get the contracts
for the other two ships and the protected
cruiser

EDMUNDs ON TEE FORCE BILL.
He Says that 1t Will Be Passed at the
Next Session.

WASHINGTON, Oct. LIN the course of
an interview on the work of the session
with Star reporter to-day. Senator Ed
munds was asked if the republicans would
pass the federal election bill next session.
"WiIl we pass the bill next sesslonY'
repeated the Vermont senator "Yes, it
should have been, and could have
been passed this session. More
than that. it would have been, had there
not been an agreement ito which was not
a party between some of my republican
brethren and the democratic senators. It
may be that the rules of the Senate
will need to be amended before the bill can
pass, but l am of the opinion thai
we have rules enough. Parliamentary
practice long approved provides that when
there is evident intention on the part of the
minority to wilfully obstruct legislation, it
is perfectly legitimate and only right that
the majority assert its power and come to
conclusion. That is my belief. There are
those of my own party who disagree with
me, and it may be that new rules will be
brought forth TO meet and defeat the cap
tious minority opposition. | am willing
that such rule be adopted. if it is absolutely
necessary. Rule or no rule, the federal
election bill will beco lav before the ad-
journment of the Fifty-irst conc -ess."
