MISSOURI REPUBLICANS.

Missouri occupies a peculiar po-
sition geographically when compared
with. her sister states of democratic
proclivity. And owing to that pecu-
liarity she is unlike her southern sis
ters in her allegiance TO democracy.
In Mississippi, Georgia and other
southern states there is no repub-
lican hope. The democratic majority
in most Of them is az safe as the rock
of ages and almost as unyarying,
bit not so in the grand old State of
Missouri. Here the majority for the
dominant party has varied from Co..
600 to a plurality of $4,000. That
does not indicate hide bound and un.
reasonable allegiance to party prin-
ciples. 1t shows a f~exibility that
might, if properly managed, result
in the election of a republican adj
ministration in the state. And right
here the thought occurs to us why is
it that our party is never in q po-
sition to advance its interests in the
state. Why are we cursed with in
ternal strife that sacrifices all hope
of %redeeming the state and placing it
in line with the true principles of
republican sc vernment. Bounded on
the north by Iowa, on the west by
Kansas, on the east by Illinois, Mis-
souri, should be in line with them on
the great political issues Of the day.
She does not belong to the south,
and would not be in the democr ratio
column if the republicans had main.
tanned good feelings within the
party. A house divided against
itself cannot stand, SO with the min.
GRITTY party in Missouri. 1t is impos-
sible TO fight bourbonism with party
leaders who have arms, eyes and legs
bandaged up from wounds inflicted
by party men a~nd.Fparty press. 1t
seems that the present only Is in the
minds Of men who are never satisfied
with party leaders. They would
rather gain a little self satisfaction
now than bless the whole state with
victory n few years hence.
We are at n loss to account for
such innate s~ellishness. Rule or ruin
has been their motto for years and
st. Louis their place of abode. I'm.
able to manage a campaign them
selves they refuse to let those whose
qualifications are admitted by all, do
SO. There are some republicans
throughout the state vino join in the
crusade against the party leaders. If

This is pretty Good.

Mr.. John G. Goodwin, a carpenter o,
Danville, ILL.,, writes: e'About two
weeks ago a heavy saw log fell upon my
foot very badly crushing 1t so that l was
unable to walk at all. l sent for a bottle
Of Billiards. Snow Liniment and kept my
foot well saturated with it. 1t is now
two weeks since this happened, and my
foot is nearly web and ! au at work.
Had l not used Snow Liniment I should
V be II laid up at least two months.
For healing wounds, sprains, sores and
bruises 1t has no equal. No inflamma-
ton can exist where Snow Llniment is
used. "You can use this letter."
Beware of all white liniments substi-
tuted for Snow Liniment, There is no
other liniment like Billiards. Snow Lini.

MISSOURI RIVER IMPROVE.
MEWT CONVENTION.

We have heretofore called the at.
tention of our readers to the great
necessity for q general system of
river improvements that will enable
the great west to utalize its natural
highways for the transportation of
its products to the markets of the
world. Thousands of dollars have
been wasted by the general govern,
ment in local improvements of the
river, that have in the end proven
detrimental to general navigation.
We are glad to note that the public
is at last realizing the fact that the
river should be improved in the
right way, and We hope it will put
an end to local Improvements. The
Commercial Club of Kansas City has
called q convention for Dec. Is and
16 for the purpose of putting the i'm
provements of our water ways on
business like footing and secure its
speedy completeness. Delegates will
be sent from all cities in the state,
and we hope Jefferson City will be
represented.

The Pictures on the Wall.

The following poem was composed by
R. E. Nc Farland and read by his wife
for the benefit of the Ladies AiC
Society, at their residence in Centralia
July 1st, 1891:
While travelling through life's rugged road
By grief and care oppressed,
To ease me of my weary load
And give the spirit rest;
There is no greater blessing
That TO my lot can fall
Than read the wholesome lesson
From the Pictures on the Wall.
Their are some among that number
We have parted with in pain,
Their lives were torn asunder,
Oh! shall we meet again?
As we gaze upon their faces
What scenes 1t doth recall,
Of other times and places
Those Pictures on the Wall
Deep in my heart each finds place
Those friends and kindred dear:
Each as my memory backwards trace
Draws from the fount tear;
But there is one among the rest
prize it more than all,
My mother, who her children best
Her Picture is on the Wall.
