but are attempting to force them into
the schools with white children. This
the whites are resisting, but the blacks
are unyieldiug In their demands, and
as they have the law on their side,i il
uncertain how the difficulty will end.
The persons loudest in their protests
against "mixed schools are hiaIant
white republicans, and they are using
the same arguments against the pro-
posed new order, as white democrats
are usipg In the south. We are glad
to see the "man and brother asserting
his rights under the law as made and

he does so the hollowness OF republican
love for the negro is immediately
exposed"
Hon. w. .. l.. Jewett, editor of the
Shelblna Democrat, not in his paper
but In an interview with a ST. Louis
Republic reporter:-
"Speaking abcut politics in north
Missouri, Mr.. Jewett said the country
democracy WAS IN good condition for
the coming campaign. The tariff ques
ton was better understood among the
farmers than il was two years ago and
many republican farmers had made up
their minds to support the democratic
state aud congressional ticket this year.
Asked if he would be candidate for
the legislature again, Mr.. Jewett
replied that he would not. He said he
was for Vest for senator and that who
ever succeeded him in the assembly
from Shelby county would also be for
Vest. Nobody but Vest supporter
could be elected in Shelby county,"

Judgment of the editors OF the metro

at is extremely seldom that the
political ideas of a country newspaper
find an echo, with credit, In the edito-
rial columns OF the metropolitan
dailies. Therefore, Il was with a de-
gree of satisfaction that the Democrat
last week reprinted from the st. Louis
Republic an article of this sort"
