LAST TUESDAY.

There has hardly ever been an cleo
ton in this country that excited SO in
tense an interest as hat of last Tues
day, that was so barren Of results.
Summed up it means that it is not
a hard thing to carry New York in a
gubernatorial election. Yet there was
so great a falling off of votes, hat no
safe predicate can be made for 1892.
It @ that Ohio is still the trick
mule of our politics, as liable to throw
a good rider as a bad one.
1t means that that great army of
converts the democrats thought they
had made from the republican camp
Aknnot be depended on to rally around
re democratic flag, when the thunder
battle is rolling. In fact the cleo
lion Tuesday demonstrates that all
those converts instead of being con-
verted had only gone fishing last fall.
1t means that in the only states
where national issue came to the front
except the good young state of Iowa,
each party held doggedly to its own
side, regardless of stump speeches,
brass bands and torch light professions.
New York gave Flower a handsome
plurality, but the entire vote is so short
of the full that the future is yelled as a
river fog wells the snags and sand bars.
Massachusetts, gave Russell II small
plurality, but one might as well expect
to see the waters of Sparkling Moose
toemaguntic surge over the intervening
hills and empty themselves into the
ripping Chamquasabanticcok, as to
see Massachusetts cast its electoral
vote for a democratic candidate for the
presidency.
Pennsylvania has gone back, as might
have been expected. Pennsylvania has
her idols. They are made of pig iron,
and Carnegian mothers nurse them.
There's no hope for Pennsylvania.
OF course Maryland went democratic.
The people in Maryland paint their
houses, use soap, and whitewash their
front fcnces-and apple trees. Mary
lands all right.

MCCOY SENTENCED.
Judge Ryland Fixes December 4 as
the Date of His Execution.

At 10 O'Clock Saturday morning Judge
Ryland, of the Lafayette County Criminal
Court, sentenced William Mccoy, the con-
victed murderer of his mistress, Mollie
McGruder, to be hanged in the Jail yard
here on Friday, December 4, 1891. When
asked what he had to say why sentence OF
death should not be pronounced, he made
no reply, and remained with his eyes
fixed on the floor
Judge Ryland overruled the motions in
arrest of judgment and for a new trial,
but granted an appeal to the supreme
court, and McCoy's attorneys, Messrs.
Myers, of Kansas City, and Hicklin &
Welborn, of Lexington, are now busy
preparing the case for presentation 10
that tribunal.

TIVE CHURCH.

'The baby, the squalling baby" receives
some pretty rough treatment at the hands
of the preacher sometimes, and the IN
TELLIaENcER intends putting in a plea for
| the Door, abused little sufferer.
What is a baby any how but the tender
pulp out of which we make boys and
girls,-boys and girls who become men
women?
Baby doesn't come into the world from
| choice. 1t has nothing whatever to do
| with it's coming here. For this reason,
and because it is SO helpless, so weak, 80
puny in its little strength, so sweet in its
baby ways, it appeals irresistibly to
oar nobler feelings, deserves all our ten
derness and care.
Baby has rights. These u be re-
spected.
Baby never goes to church Of its W
accord. 1t is carried there. and because it
1 does not ut once protest is no sign that it
wants to go and stay, listen to sounds
that are strange, and wink its little eyes
at sights that are e to 1t.
Baby is accustomed to home. 1t is used
| to the old rocking chair, and to mammals
! gentle cuddling-if mamma is fit to have a
baby-and there it is the "tweetest little
sing in re world" But mamma wants to
go to church. She cannot go unless she
takes baby along. How unusual the sight
to baby's eyes. How strange the scene.
The organ and music, rich toned and
sweet, may soothe its little senses to rest,
and it is lulled to sleep.
Then the preacher gets up, and his great
strong voice awakens the echoes as with
| eloquent indignation and the holy fire OF
oratory he pitches into the wicked sinners.
Baby is awakened. It never heard any
one preach before, and it doesn't under
stand what it is all about. Its little mind
knows nothing If the original sin. 1t has
no opinion to express of total depravity.
1t has done no harm. It's little heart is
pure, and there is no more stain on its
little soul han there is upon the virgin
snow. The preaching, the unusual sights,
the great throng Of strange people dis
turb it. All the familiar things of home
are missed. Mamma can't hug 1t to her
warm breast, rock 1t to and fro N sing
it's accustomed lullaby. Baby may have
the collie too. A naughty pin may be
worrying it, and under the circumstance,
knowing nothing of that consoling verse
in the bible which instructs us to "grin
and bear" it Ii the most natural thing in
the world for it to cry. Its crying may
disturb the good man who is pummelling
sin and sinners at the other end of the
church, but baby is the more disturbed OF
| the two, It ought to be carried to q COM
Portable room and not be spanked, but
lovingly and tenderly cared for. Jesus
didn't tell his disciples to spank the
babies that were brought to his meeting,
but in the sweetest tones in the world
said:
"Suffer the little ones to come unto me,
For OF such is the kingdom of heaven"

DIED OLE HIS INLuRIES,

Early one morning last week Will
O'Malley, a young man residing with his
mother on West Third street, was found
lying unconscious at his mothers door,
with one side of his face badly bruised
and bleeding. He was taken in and put
to bed, and slept until a. m, when he
awoke for a short time, telling his mother
that he had been thrown from a porch in
the rear of a two-story building on Ninth
street, opposite the engine house. He
hen lapsed into a comatose condition,
from which he did not recover, dying
Monday evening, at z o'clock. There was
some talk that he had been struck with a
sandbag, but the attending physician
could find nothing in his condition to
substantiate this rumor.

TOM / AYE

The case Of the state against ex-County
Court Judge John P. Higgins, of Pettis
county, was called in the criminal court
at Sedalia Monday. Higgins is charged
with the killing of Col. Thomas B. Price,
of Sweet Springs, on a Lexington branch
passenger train, in September, 1890. The
two men quarreled, Price slapping3Hig-
gins, when the latter shot Price with a
pistol hidden in his %overcoat pocket.
George P. B. Jackson, one of the attor-
neys for the defendant, stated that it was
the understanding to try the case at a
special term. Judge Ryland denied this
and urged them to proceed. Mr.. Lamm
for the defense and Prosecuting Attorney
Longan both claimed that they were not
ready for trial. The Judge told them to
be ready for trial next Monday. This was
dissented to and the court fixed December
IA, 1891, as the day of trial and released
Higgins under a $25, 900 bond.
