We reprint an article from the Republic in
reference to the vote in the Senate against
the Hitler bill. While we do not believe that
corrupt means were used-that is, $50 much
in hand, the whilst"-to defeat the most
important bill before the legislature in be-
half of the wage Garner, there is no question
of the heavy pressure brought to bear by the
employers of labor to that end. What is
called legitimate lobbying in its intensest
mood was re>orted to, and Democratic Sen
ators gave away to it, more's the pity. Not
only was the Hitler bill defeated, but another,
legaiizing ''truck ORDERS" was enacted! the
Senator from this district voting for it. We
warn him now that his explanation for his
votes must be full, explicit, and convincing,
to satisfy his constituents. He and Burks are
honest men, and, as such, must render an
honest account of their stewardships.

GLOVER, Mo-, March %, 1881.
Ed. Register-Your Des Arc correspon-
dent, "Isaac," has his nerves worked up to
A considerable extent over the once -a-week
pay bill, known as the Hitler Bill. Now all
this talk about mill shutting down if this bill
is passed is "much ado about nothing"
Ten years. experience in the mill business
has convinced me that if mill men deal justly
with their employees they will have no
trouble along this line.
This law would have injured no one ex-
cept the men who expect to fleece aud gull
honest toll through the pluck-me store sys-
tem,n and understand it has been defeated
through the infuence Of Jasper Burks,
who's only claim to craftsmanship is that it
takes an acre of cloth to make him suit of
clothes.
Again, "Isaac" goes from Ironton to Des
Arc once IN twenty years, and in all this
twenty years finds the county court has been
neglecting its business in regard to this road.
Why should Isaac" work himself into a
ftful fever because this road is not as good
as the streets of incorporated cities like Des
Arc and St. Louis? Ifthe people who travel
the road every day are satisfied the county
court has done its duty in regard to the
road, "Isaac" has no reason to complain,
even if he travels it once more in the next
twenty years. Now, Mr.. Editor, the next
time your distinguished Des Arc correspon-
dent intends going over this road on tour
of inspection please let us know. We will
haye the pig pens all taken out Of the road
and send the pigs all out on the mountains
to hunt acorns.
But I suppose the only way to have "tbe
wheels of justice run on dead level'' is to
abolish the Missouri Legislature and the
county court, send the Governor home, and
make ''Isaac" "Lord High E xecutioner of
every thing"
''For the wonder is, and still it grows,
How one small head can carry all his nose?"

the president's recent tour: mo pubic

did through the line Of his travels.
There was not mistake made by him,
and he grew in the estimation OF the
public wherever he went and through hls

country at large. He can no longer be
called small by any one. he has proven
that he is great enough for his position,

doubts q to his future, no longer hold
them. He is certain to be ren0minsted.
Blaine will not oppose him. and when
the convention meets it will be found
practically unanimous for him. think
the democrats will nominate Cleveland.
It will be the old fight-Harrison

Hon. John w. Foster whose recent

sition, and it is probable that il he re-

for many months have been entirely too
hard for one man.
Secretary Foster spiked good many
democratic guns when he announced
that there would not be the slightest
difficulty in meeting the quarterly pen
siOn payments due in June. This is q
cad blow for the calamity walters who
have been predicting treasury col
lapse. Not only will the pension pay.
ments be promptly made, but the treas
ury will also have money to spare for
any exigency that may arise. One has
only to talk with Secretary Foster fOl
