willie Farmers and Laborers Union, OF
the 18th ult.:
Whereas, The local option law is con
stantly and openly violated; and,
Whereas. Our present Prosecuting
Attorney has shown himself totally
unworthy and incompetent to dis
charge the duties of the office of Pros
ecuting Attorney; and,
Whereas, We deem it to the best in
ter,s of st. Francois county that said

county i'm asking Mr.. Abernsthy to re-
sign.
4th. That while we commend the
good ladies of Pennington in their eff
forts to suppress the liquor traffic as
carried on in open violation of law, we
cannot altogether approve the means
used, and would suggest the vigorous
application of the remedy afforded by
law in such cases.

a DisSraced Judge.

We heartily endorse every word of
insure in the following taken from
h. Pennington Times. If fudge Fox
won't resign he ought to be impeach-
ed AMI rem wed. His presence on the
bench is disgrace to the judiciary of
the State:
We regret that Judge j. ID. Fox of tn $
judicial Circuit has again forced upon us
the duty to chronicle another of his dis
graceful debauches, and that he has again
brought disgrace upon himself and the
bench. The latest e,capade of The Judge
occurred at Perryyile last week, while the
Court was in session and important cases up
for trial. lie got so drunk that member
of the bar had to be chosen to preside, and
the news also reaches us his conduct was SO
dis 0rdery that he had to be taken to jail,
where he was confined during the afternoon
of Thursday, leaving town the following
morning in ANYTHING but an orderly manner.
Judge FoX's frien have borne with him
long and patiently; they have pleaded with
him and condOned his offences; thew have
endeavored to hold up his hands, IN the
hope that po, sibly ne might overcome his
inordinate appetite, but all in vain. 1t APP
pears that he has not the VIII power to re-
>i>t his worst enemy, or if he has he does
not put forth his best efforts to exercise
that will, and in either event he cannot ex-
pect his friends to longer stand by him or to
make excuses for Il weakness that units him
for the important position with which he
has been entrusted. The people should de-
mand his resignation. 1t is more than
probable that the Grand Jury Of Perry
county will indict him for his latest debauch
at Perryville, it being his third or fourth Of
Tense while holding court at that place.

Hon. James z. Walker, of the 18th
district, has introduced into the lower
house of Congress bill to tax incomes,
as follows: Where the net income ex-
ceeds the sum of two thousand dollars,
a tax of five per centum on the excess
over two thousand dollars and not eX-
ceeding five thousand dollars, and
tax of seven and half per centum on
the excess over five thousand dollars
and not exceeding ten thousand dol
lars; and a tax of ten per centum on
the excess over ten thousand dollars.
1t is good and righteous bill, and
ought to have been enacted into law
long ago. We hope Mr.. Walker may
succeed in putting it through, and the
people of his district ought TO keep
him in Congress until he accomplishes
his object-which will be not long de-
layed. A Democratic House Will sue
coed the present Reed regime, and with
it's advent the cause of the people will
again have a hearing.

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Notable Features in the Trade of the
Country During the Last Week.
New York dispatch]
Br0datreefs State of Trade" SAYS:

BrGdstreets State of Trade" says:
Special kilograms corroborate pre-
viously reported indications that, while
the volume of general trade is heavy,
there has been a distinct check to the
movement of staples to retailers hands,
as compared with the distribution some
months ago. Overfows along the Lower
Mississippi Valley have checked trade at
New Orleans, and even at st. Louis a
similar influence has been felt. At New
York, while the quarters total of bank
earnings is 4 per cent. llrger than in
1889, for March the total this year is %
per cent. less than in March, 1889.
The bank cIearings at thiltv-sx cities
for March aggr egated $4, 533. $40, 800, a
gain over year ago of over per cent.
For the first quarter of 1890 the gain is
SO per cent. over the first quarter Of 1889.
The only assignable cause for the existing
depression in the iron and steel market
in the face of extraordinary consumption
and prospects for still heavier consump-
ton. is found in the fact that produc-
tive capacity has been developed in every
department to an extraordinary degree.
The increase in the production of crude
iron within the past six months amounts
to but little less than so, 600 tons per week
Wheat has not varied in price much,
tending upward toward to the close. Re-
duced stocks abroad and crop damage at
home are stimulating features. Exports
have declined visibly, notably from the
Pacific coast The total shipped this
week. both coasts (including -four as
wheat) is l,52l,e96 bushels. against
2,4Ol, l56 bushels the week before. From
July last to date the exports equal 81
2l4,675 bushels. against 5000, l2O bush
els in the like portion of lS5889. Drives
in spring dress goods are leading features
of the Eastern dry goods iobbing trade.
A considerable amount of business has
been effected at cut rates. Trade with
agents is only moderate.
Cotton and wool dress goods show a
most notable activity. Prices are as a
rule unchanged. Cotton is dull and I'M
changed, as is all raw wool.
Reports of failures throughout the
United States during the first quarter OF
the current year show total of 1926,
against 8, 569 in the first quarter of 1883.
The aggregate liabilities of failing traders
are $33, 814, 304, against $4l, 76l, $50. and
actual assets SIC, 0S2, 312, against $50, $780,
