property In Missouri Is $2O4, ,223, $50,
there only being four states which
make a better shOwing-New York
fennsylvania.O OHIO, and Massac chusetts.
The largest item, SOL 1856 ,32O, includes
money, notes and bonds, though the
great bulk of the personal property in
Missouri represents different classes of
live stock. an interest which has shown
marvellous growth in the state within
the last ten years.

ciated with Mr.. Reed, who has made
himself personally offensive to the
gentleman from Texas. MIR. Reed is a
brutal, overbearing man to all who
presume TO ditter from him, and Mr..

pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift may follow fawning.

artistically dressed servants who care
Tor her every desire. She is beautiful,

Richmond Democrat:-In mention
ing defaultlng state treasurers our
republican exchanges, for some reason,
omit, the name of Matthew STANLEY
Quay, who looted the treasury of
Pennsylvania for $500 900. 1t is true
Mr.. Quay is now an honored United
States senator and the official head of
the republican party in the nation, but
that does not hide the fact that he stole
$3.50, 900 from the state OF Pennsy lvania.
Our republican friends should not over
look matter like that.
When the Mckinley bill (O becomes
law and the republican party goes to
the country with it next November,
then will come the time for shaking up
the dry bones. The republican party
has claimed that the country decided
two years ago in favor of protection.
The country did not. BY popular
majority of over 1OO, 900 the country
decided in favor of tariff reform, but a
popular majority and congressional
majority do not always 90 together The
people will probably see at the next
election that they do.
The new Oklahoma terrii orial off,
cials demonstrate that they do not pro.

Acting under the advice of Gov. Steel
aud Attorney General Cox, the mar.

Ellis. the lot-jumper. and his tent
which he had erected during the inter-
val OF the removal of one building and
tho commencement of the erection OF
another upon the lot. Gov. Steel isgo-

visit the various county seats aud ap-
point the county officers.

nominee of Its party in st. Louis. II
Mr.. Filley controls the state convention
the CD. will treat its nominee as il
did Mr.. Joyce. II Mr.. Filley is sat upon
the hoodlum republicans will follow
the recent example of the silks and stay
at home. Truly the republican party
OF M Missouri is i'm bad way.
New York Sun:-New York is hor.
ritied over the sale Of Chinese girl by
her husband, who had gambled away
all his substance. When the police
were notified they promptly arrested
the purchaser and had him committed
for trial. Thousands of Caucasian girls
are lost at the gaming tables of this
city every year by their husbands or
fathers, and the misery and degreda
ton of their slavery is worse hundred
fold than that OF her Mongolian sister.

form of 1888 on the tariff is insisted on
it may be said that there is now no re-
publican party. More than half the
republican farmers of Kansas, Me-

free traders-not tariff retormers; they
have gone beyond that but free traders
The ablest republican new spapers of
the northwest, the Chicago Tribune
and st. Paul Free Press, are fighting
the Mckinley bill more ssvsgely than
could any democratic paper. They see
the handwriting on the wall.
