The issue of the democratic
campaign book has been long de-
layed, and the reason has just
leaked out. The experts charged
with furnishing statistics for cam
palRn matter, have been sorely
pressed to find anything that is
detrimental to the republican par
ty. So complete has been the
work of the republican party in
congress, that nothing has been
left for these experts to find fault
with. The democrats are in des-
pair.
Missouri's Democratic state
treasurer who stole S3?, 900 of the
peoples money, may b, prosecute d
and he may not. 1t is quite safe
to say, however, that he will only
be prosecuted to the extent that
the safety of the democratic party
demands. But the exit easurer Is
not the only democratic official
that ought to be prosecuted. Ev-
cry one who engaged in tho steal
of $4,000 of the peoples money
during the last session of the leg
islature and then voted against an
investigation, should be prosecuted
and their acts shown up to the
people.
In the platform of one of the
recently organized political par
ties, is plank which demands
that all railroads shall be owned
and operated by the government
Such demand is i'll advised, and
could only have been made by
| men who have never given the
| subject any thought. In Austria
liza the government builds and op
| crates the railroads. There the
combination of labor is more wide
ly spread and effective than in th'
| United States. 1t is so effective
| in fact, that the Government il
compelled to regard the dictate
of the organizations in the man
lagement of the railways. A strik
would be quite as likely to happel
under government control as un
der private control, and its conse
quences would be more serious be
cause of the political force at tn
disposal of the strikers. No
could thorough civil service re
form system alleviate the dificul
ty Or any Of the many difficulte
that would arise under the contro
! and operation Of transportatio
by the government. Universe
suffrage and civil service reforr
have never yet been brought int
harmony, and probably never wi
be until man has reached tbs
higher development when civ
service reform will be Unnecessary
1t is now almost impossible to &C
! here to the regulations goyernin
: appointments, and when an arm
| of voters, numbering hundreds {
t thousands, come to be dealt wit
in connection with the railwa
: systems, the task would be utterl
l hopeless and vain. A law to pr
the railroads under governmer
: control would be fatal to the bes
, interests of our country, and me
:, who row favor it would be mos
clamorous for its repeal with
. ha If a decade.

Azure For Diphtherla.

Diphtheria is a disease which
springs from the growth of real
fungus on some of the mucus
surfaces of the throat. From the
local parts affected it spreads to
the whole body. affecting the mus
cular and nervous systems, vitiat-
ing the lymph and nutrient fluids,
and producing paralysis. AS soon
as the bacterium or fungus ap-
pears in white patches ON the
throat, it should no moro be neg
lected than a bleeding cash or a
broken arm, and there is almost
as little need of a fatal telmina-
ton of one incident as the other.
It has been found by actual ex-
pertinent, both in and out OF the
human system that the bacterium
is killed by several drugs, the
safest and most certain of which
is chlorine water, diluted with the
addition of from two to four times
the volume of water. This wash
is harmless even when swallowed,
and is pretty certain to avert the
disease. A well-known physician in
this city, who has pursued this
treatment for fifteen years, found
it effective almost without excep-
ton, and has in that period often
broken up the dlssssein localities
where it had ragged violently and
had defed treatment. Prior to its
use he lost three cases out Of six,
but has since used it with scarce
Iy failure. The recent great cy-
clopedia of Tiemessen On the
practice of medicine gives the
highest place to this method of
treatment. To keep the patient
we'll housed and warm, with ad-
ditional flannel clothing if neces-
sary, and to keep the system we'll
nourished and the bowels open,
are matters of nursing often neg
lected; but with care in these re-
spects, and early application of
the remedies above su ygested,
there is no need of the disease
proceeding to a fatal termination,
or even to the debilitating illness
and painful cauterizations which
go together in it's latter stages

The calamity speeches of
Roger O. Mills, are not arousing
any enthusiasm In the Democratic
party.
Samuel Freeman Miller,
associate justice of the Supreme
court, died Monday night from
paralysis.
NO wonder the democratic
leaders in Missouri are trembling.
The robbery of the people to the
extent of $4,000 is coming out on
them.
Mr.. Hatch will not engage
in public discussion with Mr..
Harrington. He knows that
every such discussion would cost
him a large number of votes.
Farmers are realizing hand
somely on their crops, and prices
generally are advancing. All
signs point to q prosperous busi-
ness year in the United States.
The work of the Fifty-frst
Congress should be indorsed by q
full vote Novemher,4. The apathy
Of an off year should not prevail
in single congressional district
in the United States.
---Genl. Belknsp, ex-secretary
Of war, was found dead in his room
in the Evans building, Washing
ton, d. c., Monday morning. He
was appointed secretary Of war by
Genl. Grant, in 1869, and held the
Office up to March, 1878, when he
resigned on account of charges OF
official corruption. When at the
head of the war department he was
a very popular official.
1t is now given up by In
diana democrats that the state will
go republican this year, and that
it ls almost certain to gain two OF
three congressman. Senator Voor-
hees is not able to arouse any
more enthusiasm in Indiana than
Vest is in Missouri. The people
have been studying these great
democratic chieftains. They have
been weighed in the balance and
found wanting.
&C. G. Fogle is going about
Schuyler county beseeching the
people to elect him to the legisla-
ture. and thus give him an oppor-
tunity to vote for Vest. It is said
that he actually sheds tears dur.
ing his sympathetic pleadings.
Perhaps, though, these tears are
caused by feelings of remorse
when he thinks of the $40, 900 steal
which was perpetrated en- the tax
payers of Missouri at the last ses.
sion OF q democratic legislature.
The cry has been raised that
the McKinly bill will increase the
cost of all necessaries of life. Now
let us be candid about thu matter
How many of our readers keeI
book and know the cost of living:
all that do should sit down some
evening after the winters supplies
have been purchased, and com
pare prices of last year with thu
prices Of the present. Do thi'
and you will see that the cost O
living is less this year than it wa
last, while you are getting bettel
prices for everything you have t.
sell. By this method you will b.
able to figure out to your own sat
isfaction that the cry of increased
cost of the necessaries of life ii
the merest bosh.

The Sugar Trade.

Messrs. Willett & Gray, in their weekly
circular on the statistical position of
sugar for the we elk ending February 81.
says:
Raws unchanged. Refined 1-16o
higher. The spot market has shown g
firmness and strength during the week
that Is indicative OF better prices. The
absences of stock in importers hands in
the United States and speculative de-
mand which has begun in the island of
Cuba on account of the short crop
there, put refiuers at a disadvantage
in obtaining necessary sup. ,lies. The
lenst demand also in European markets
strengthens holders views there, not
withstanding that stocks are enormous,
and Mr.. LIGHT has again raised his esti-
mate of the last beet crop by 20 900 tons.
Europe holds the surplus of raw sugar tor
this year, and evidently means to use
that fact to the best advantage. With
the sowing for new beet crop, row
ever, during the coming months they
may be more free sellers of the old crop,
unless sowings should be largely reduced,
which is not likely. AS regards refined,
the entire absence of low grade raw sugar
for refining purposes makes all adequate
supply Of soft refined an impossibility,
and throws the demand on TO
hard sugars. Necessity may teach
consumers that the graduated sugar is
the cheapest sugar for use in the family.
Cost and freight business is more active
at an advance Of l-l6c. for centrifugals,
with sale of SO per cent. at 8 5-l6c.
Sugar trust certificates are unfavorably
affected by the report that the receiver
a
sugar refinery OF San Francisco has
taken possession and closed the refinery,
and that the arguments before the court
of appeals at Albany, n. Y, will be
heard on March II. Also that the COM
petitive policy now pursued by the trust
does away with the large profits of 1888
and 1889,

The people of this city have been re-
called with a variety of interesting ad-

passages of invective and denunciation
against all who dared to reject his as

and the prelimlnRries OF the encamp-

PILOT POINT, TEX, March 3.-The
late cold snap was quite disastrous to gar
dens. All the early gardens were killed
outright. Fruit, while seriously injured !,
is not believed to be a total loss. The
most advanced, such as Leeonti pears,
plums, apricots and early blooming
peaches, are killed, but most pears and
peaches are yet safe, in the judgment Of
conservative fruit growers here.
Many farmers express the Opinion that
oats that had appeared above ground are
killed.

a RumOr That the sta'e Treasurer of Missouri

Rumor That the Sta'e Treasurer of Missouri
is Short In HIS Accounts.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-. March 3.-The local
papers this morning contained statements
that several of the bondsmen of State
Treasurer Ed T. holland and other gem
tlemen prominent in state politics had q
secret conference at the Lindell hotel in
this city Saturday and yesterday, and
vague rumors gained circulation that the
meetings were IN some way connected
with lhe treasurer IS accounts. 1t was
intimated that a shortage existed, but
none of the gentlemen attending the
meetings would admit this. In fact they
decline 10 talk about the matter
at all. To-day denials are plenty
that there are any irregularities
III the treasurer account, and some
say that the treasurer was not the SUBJ
ject Of discussion at the meeting. 1t is
evident, however, that the consultations
had direct connection with the affairs OF
the treasurer office, and dispatches
from Jefferson City report that while Mr.
holland is at his office and transacting
business as usual, there is something of
sensation in the city, and that Governor
Francis, Is one of the board of fund
commissioners, is examining the treas
urer's books. It is expected that the
facts in the case will be Developed during
the day.
