A Touching Story.

From the Kansas City Star.
When it comes to a show down
between Mr.. Tennyson's Enoch
Arden and the following true story
from the Paris Mercury, it will be
seen that grand old Missouri is
still in il: "Oliver Smith left this
county in the spring of 1850 for
California during the gold excite
ment, and was not heard of here
until last spring. He worked in
mines there for a year, and upon
hearing that his wife was dead, he
drifted away to the gold fields of
Australia. He wrote several let
tiers back home, which miscarried
for some cause, and receiving no
answer, he gave up the idea of re-
turning, contenting himself to live
in his new home. He left four
children, all of whom are dead,
they leaving two children. His
wife is still living at the age of 81
years. He was rs years old when
he went away. MIR. Smith will re-
turn home next month, and no
doubt will meet a hearty welcome
from his wife and relatives, as we'll
as old friends, many OF whom have
long thought him dead"

Live Stock Market.

ST. LOUIS, August 19.-The sup
ply Of native cattle was small and
mainly of mixed butcher stuff, which
was slow OF disposal. Good steers
were steady. Texas cattle were
active enough, but prices had to
come down 10 to Is cents per 100
pounds on all grades.
Hoes--The supply was again
small, but the quality a little better.
Desirable hogs were stronger and
others slow and unchanged. The
butcher grades, $50 to 220 lbs, sold
mainly at $3.50, which is fully up
to previous quotations, and butcher
hogs could be better than those sold.
Good light hogs sold at 1925 to
$40 ; good mixed at S5.45. These
are top figures and the general run
Of fair, medium and common grades
sold with the usual irregularity and
%unevenness as exhibited by sales.
The standard is 1870 to 225 lbs.
strictly fat hogs and smooth.
SHEEp-The supply yesterday was
larger than for some days past, but
consisted mainly of Texas sheep
billed through. Good muttons were
in pretty fair request and at steady
figures. Other grades ruled dull
and lower.

THE TARIFF Is THE ISSUE.
Maxey Says the Silver Question is Not
to be Compared with 1t.

PARIS, Tex. Aug. lex United
States Senator S. B. Maxey of this
city, in an interview published this
morning in answer to queries in re-
gard to the silver question, Mr..
Cleveland's position on silver, and
as to what he considered the most
important, the tariff or silver said:
Chow much silver can we SAFE
ly coin ? This, OF course, is a mat
ter of judgment. My own judg-
ment is that we can safely coin
every dollar of silver produced
within territorial jurisdiction of the
United States. If this is what the
advocates of free coinage favor, l
am with them /; if they want to open
the minis to all the world, l I'M
not with them.
"You ask Nh. Cleveland's posi-
ton. I have never spoke to him
on the subject. Judging from his
public u%tterance, l believe he is not
opposed to silver coinage within
the limit of interchangeability, but
he believes unrestricted silver coin
age would be ruinous, for the rea-
son that, in his Judgment, it would
drive gold from the country. Mr..
Cleveland has publicly expressed
his views, which were we'll known
during his Presidency, and when
he was renominated at St. Louis
every man in that convention knew
his opinions, and yet he was nom.
mated enthusiastically by acclama.
ton. Why? Because his party
had perfect confidence in his hon
esty because he was perfectly
sound on the tariff and because they
then regarded that as a paramount
issue. j was for him then for the
above reasons and am yet. You
ask the relative Importance of these
issues. There is no comparison,
The tariff is infinitely the most i'm

U. $. HALL CALLS A MEETING.
He viii Further Repudiate the Sub
Treasury Scheme and DenOunce
the Opposition.

ST. Louis, August 18.-The exc
cutive committee appointed by the
Fort Worth Farmers Alliance con-
vention, with U. S. Hall, president
Of the Missouri Alliance, as chair
man, has issued a circular to the
members Of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, and Of. the
Farmers and Labors' Union of the
United States" calling aconvention
of the members of those bodies who
are in accord with the resolutions
passed at the Fort Worth meeting.
The convention will be held in St.
Louis September Is next, when the
fall festivities are in full blast-the
streets Illuminated, the exposition
wide open and the fair only a few
weeks distant. Nearly all the rail-
roads have agreed to make reduced
rates. The basis of representation
will be three delegates from each
county in the jurisdiction of the
National Alliance.
The Fort Worth resolutions refer
red to reject the sub-treasury plan
and appeal to the farmers to vote
against all schemes that would
make a loan establishment of the
United States treasury. The eircu-
lar concludes as follows : This
meeting will be a protest on the part
of the lovers Of the constitution of
the Alliance against seeing that
organization misused by a body of
men who have no interest in farm
ing and whose love for the organi-
zation is limited by the amount of
personal gain they can get out of it.
This effort on the part of the con-
sentative members and real farmers
of our order should emancipate the
Farmers Alliance from the control
Of scheming politicians and design
ing demagogues. That We will sue
coed in this effort we entertain nc
doubt"

THE St. Louis Chronicle, speak
ing of the encampment, which was
in session at st. Joe for a week,
says: The Missouri militia had
been in camp for one week under
the command of Adiutant-G eneral
Wickham, and the record of the
soldiers was brilliant enough to
make admirers of even their bitter
est enemies. The daily drill was a
school of practical training, and
the men learned many new and
valuable details that armory drill
does not furnish. Missouri has
been too %neglectiul of its State SOL
diery, and there has been too
much hypercritical opposition to
the maintenance of a State militia.
There is an urgent necessity for
the support of the militia. 1t is
simply a police factor and a peace
preserver, and when organized and
conducted in a proper manner, is
entitled to State aid and the sup
port of the people.

In referring to the third party
the Jefferson City Tribune says
"The weakness of the s%ub-treasury
scheme is proved by its defeat in
the hard-fought Mississippi CAM
paign, where it had been made an
open issue in all local conventions;
in its abandonment by the chief
alliance officers IN such a state as
Kansas, where its upholders, in
their deportation, are now demand
ing a special session of congress to
authorize the issue of fat money,
and in the general tendancy of
third party men to let it slide out
of sight. This result has been
brought about simply because the
sub-treasury scheme was a rattle
Drained idea, which could not hold
its own in the face of any serious
argument.
