FRIDAY. APRIL i7.lSI.
The future of the Republi

can party depends on the educs-
tion of the voters.
Give every encouragement
to the Young Mems Business As
socistion.
The Farmers Alliance is
rapidly coming to the conclusion
that it must get rid Of {. S. Hall.
The unsettled condition of
the weather has had no depressing
influence on the real estate boom
in kirksville.
The canning factory will
receive the consideration of the
Young Mems Business Assoeia-
ton.
--Ierry Simpson wants State
Senates abolished. 1t is the Jerry
Simpson schemes that should be
abolished rather than the State
Senates.
Tile people are opposed to
an extra session of the legislature.
Let the opposition be put in the
shape of resolutions and sent to
the Governor.
Tile reciprocity issue,
which was at first not bigger
than a mans hand, is growing In
way that promises shipwreck TO
Democratic hopes.
The Farmers Alliance Of
Putnam county, according to the
Unionville Democrat, endorses
the Land Tax idea. In Schuyler
county the organization wants
everything taxed.
In Putnam county the Farm
ers' Alliance IS blindly following H.
Martin Williams, and in Schuyler
county it is blind follower of
the firm of Shelton q Fogle.
The leadership of either will soon
drive the organization to ruin.
Certificate of election to the
Office of school commissioner was
issued to L. B. Smith, Wednesday,
he having received plurality of
233 votes. The vote stood: Smith
S99; Miss Dodson, 666; Miss
Dawson, 560.
H. Martin Williams claims
that the defeat of the Weekly
Payment bill will cost the Dem
ocratic party 10000 votes in
Missouri. This claim is the first
evidence of sanity II. Martin
has shown since he was struck
by the Land Tax mania.
Two city elections of last
week have an important bearing
on the future of the Republican
party and the possibilities of 1892
They are the local elections OF
Chicago and Cincinnati. These
two cities are pivotal points of po'
litical contests in Illinois and
Ohio, and the present political SIT
ustions in these states are largely
due to the cities of Chicago and
Cincinnati, where the shifting
population of anarchists, socialists,
kickers and mugwumps have done
SO much to make State results an
uncertainty. The election of Re-
publican mayors in these two
cities will place them in control of
Republican authority thereby
insuring honest elections in 1892,
and making both states certain for
the National Republican ticket.
Had the party been united in st.
Louis the same results could have
been easily obtained, and would
have gone tar toward placing Mis-
souri, in the Republican column.
The announcement from
Berlin that the German Govern
ment has definitely decided to re-
move it's embargo on American
hog products is gratifying result
of diplomatic negotiations direct
ed from Washington by Secretary
Blaine, through the United States
Minister, Hon. William Walter
Phelps. The original prohibition
on American pork was laid on ac-
count of its alleged unhealthy
character-or rather because there
was no adequate inspection to
demonstrate that ii WAS sound and
pure meat. Since the passage OF
the Meat Inspection bill in August
1890, Germ any's excuse forthe en-
barge has been untenable, and il
