The farmers have captured tho
Democratic party in Missouri. They
have complete control of the I.cgis
lature. Consequently great itcrcs,
is aroused as to their action in regard
to the election of United States
Senator. Many who are well inform.
cd III politics see in this nothing mimi.
cal to the chances of Senator Vest 70,
reelection. There are many, how
ever, who see in the farmers move
mcnt the fine work and splendid
gcncralship of Governor David r.
Francis. Committeeman Tolson,
speaking on this subject, said it was
true that the farmers were getting a
great number Of nominations, but
than Vests chances would not suf-
fer. "Fhc strongest supporters of
Vcst," he said, care in the agricul.
tural districts. The farmers will
make good legislators, as they will
demonstrate in the next Assembly,"

OcOncc's Congressional Campaign
Meeting,

Was held Tuesday in the Court

good attendance of the citizens of
the county, and the best Of attention
was PAID to the remarks OF all the

who was absent "a attendance on tic
State Convention, We regret that
we cannot give, as first intended, Il
synopsis of each speech separately,
but owing to the crowded condition
OF our columns this week it is impos-
sihIc to do so.
All the candidates were present,
and spoke in the following order: II.
f.. Bowen, w. u. Calhoun, w. G.
5cnct, ID. X. Norris, f.. b. Murray
and George Johnstonc. They all
expressed themselves freely and
frankly on the issues raised in the
present campaign, to the great
delight and instruction Of their near
crs. The burden of their discourse
was answering the questions pro-
pounded in what is now known as
the "Alliancc CatcchiSm.' All,
except Col. Norris, were opposed to
the Sub-Trcasury Bill rs it now
stands, but are in favor of whatever
Legislation may he necessary to relieve
the agriculture of the country from
the domination of the money power
in the way of trusts, corners and
combines. Col. Norris, however,
endorses the Sub-Trcasury scheme,
and is prepared to stand for the bill,
even independently Of the party
caucus, if necessary. All agreed in
their opposition to the government
buying up and operating the railroad,
steamboat and telegraph lines OF the
country. These two topics engaged
the greater part Of the discussions,
the other six questions being answered
generally in the Affirmative. All,
except Col. Norris, would stand by
the party caucus. The six speeches
occupied five hours, and were listened
to with unabatrd interest. At L.
NJ. the meeting adjourned.

mated that they own alittlc less than

To the individual farmer this
should be matter rather of oon-
graduation than of regret. 1t shows
Enthusiastically to him that there must
ever be homo market, at least, for
tho products Of his farm, even though
tariff laws should shut off foreign
markets. 1t is to the interest of
cvcry man engaged in agriculture
to have as little competition as posi-
bic in the products of his farm, just
as it is of every other profession to
have as little competition as posi-
bic in it's specific line of business.
The last half century has witnessed
in the United States marvellous
development in all the arts, sciences,
and inventions, which have to do
with the material development of
this wonderful land of haustlcss
resources MiIliol upon millions
have been invested il oilroads, tclc-
graph and telephone !. $, tho min
ing Of coal, iron, copper, silver and
gold manufacturing, and t. build
ing of towns and cities. I'd all
this is now only the beginning OF that
natural development. of our great
country along all the lines of human
activity, which happily find here Il
field for profitable employment. And
SC far from the greater proportionatc
increase of brains and money being
found along these lines being q
matter of discouragcmcnt to tic
farmer, it should Grc him with fresh
courage in his honest and honorable
avocation of making the earth to
yield her increase. Reverse this
order of things and put all the men
and money of the nation into agri-
culture, and what would be the value
of each mans crop in dollars and
cents? There would be absolutely
no demand for the products of the
farm, and the farmer would surely
enough have cause to bcmoan his
condition. 1t must, therefore, be
sclf-cvidcnt to every farmer that his
individual interest is enhanced by
the greater number engaged in other
avOcatiOns.
We freely admit, that in the many
changes that have taken place in the
last fifty years, the farmer has
suffered by the concentration of
capital and the creation of trusts
and combines. All Of these evils
that can be reached should be struck
down by law, and we arc glad to
learn that Congress now has these
various important matters under con-
sidcration.
The very fact that the farmer
feeds and clothes the world insurcs
him Il market for his products, and
the quickest sale ut Il reasonable
price is the best as n rule. What he
wants, therefore, rs his best guar
antee of prosperity, is free and
open market with aS little legislative
interference as possible with the
operations of the universal law Of
supply and demand.
The great and Imperative need of
the farming masses is more education,
both liberal and technical. The
head, the hand, and the heart must
be educated, as the only safety of Il
free people. There must.bc cduca-
ton such as is furnished by our pub
lie and literary schools, also technical
or professional education, such as
Clemson College proposes to give.

ALL THE RETURNS IN.

Nearly Two Thousand Applicants for Liquor
Liceuses-sDeculatiOn SIN Rife ne to
the Judges Who VIII sIt-Fhe Bonds
Not All Filed Yet.
One thousand nine hundred and sixty
people have filed applications in the Clerk
of Courts Office to be allowed to administer
tonic to their fellow men in this county.
They seem to be getting accustomed to the
terrors of the Brooks law. Two years ago
there were 1858 applicants and last year
but 800, but the Supreme Court decision
in the cases of Pollard ct al. nerVed the
fsint-hearted this year. Yesterday was the
last day for the filing Of applications and all
day long the Clerks Office was thronged,
over 400 applications being received. The
Office was kept open until 7:3O last night in
order to give tardy applicants chance,
The exact number of applicants for whole
sale and for retail licenses could not be
given last night, as the clerks did not have
time TO sort them out. 1t is estimated, how
ever, that between 900 and ZOO of the applica-
tions are for wholesale licenses. The coun-
try districts came in heavy on the wholesale
list, and great many have filed double
applications for both wholesale and retail.
1t was also noticed that several colored
men made applications for license. From
two to three was the highest number Of col
ored men applying in previous years.
Clerk McGunnegle states that it will be
fully two weeks before the list is published,
as it will take some time to prepare it,
The bonds have not all been filed as ap-
plicants have been allowed to put in their
papers and file bonds subsequently. The
Court will hold its first session on St.
Patrick's Day.
Some applicants were quite sanguine Of
success, while others didn't feel altogether
easy in their minds on that head. Some
people think there will not be many more
licenses granted than were last year, but
they expect the distribution will be more
general, which would result in knocking
out some applicants and letting others in.
There is a prevalent impression that
Judge White will absolutely refuse to sit
this year under any circumstances that may
arise, and some people think that Judge
Ewing may 60 it alone, while others say
Judge Msgee will sit with him.

A Little Boy at the Central Station Whose

A Little Boy At the Central Station Whose
Case Will be Investigated.
Early last evening Harry Kigger, who
works for the Union Switch and Signal
Company and lives at Williamsburg, brought
to the Central station 7-year-old boy who
gave his name as John Hefty. Mr.. Kigger
said that he found the boy wandering about
Williamsburg cold and hungry.
The little fellow had in his possession a
letter addressed to Samuel Keppel, Crabtree
P. o., Westmoreland county, and signed
by Mrs. A. G. Wragg. The letter was
on one Of the letter heads of the
Children's Aid Society, of this city, and
was dated February 8. The contents told
what kind of boy the bearer was and how
to treat him. When asked for an explana-
tion the boy stated that his parents were
dead and that he had been taken in charge
by the Children's Aid Society and given
over to q Mrs. Lynch, who lived at
Hoboken. Yesterday he was brought
to town by Mrs. Lynch and given
over to one of the ladies OF the
society, who in turn gave him the
letter and took him to the Union depot,
where she gave him ticket and placed him
on the Johnstown accommodation. The boy
states that he gave the ticket to the con-
ductor, who put him off the train at Will
kinsburg, telling him that he could ride no
further, as that was the point the ticket
called for. The case will be Investigated
BY Inspector McAleese.
