ply of these squares have sought various
methods to utilize them. One woman
turned her fine pair of hemstitched linen
and embroidered covers into tea cloths
by adding some gay little buds and pan
sizes i'm natural colors. She might easily
have left them all white, since such tea
cloths are equally used for the permanent
s o'clock tea table as for the occasional one.
Another woman converted some of her
pretty ones into show pillow slips by add

SEIBERT EXPOSES HIMSELF

Mr.. SEIBERr, the present Demo-
cratic State Auditor of Missouri, and
candidate for reelection, has issued
q book entitled "Facts and Figures
for the Voters Of Missouri" In this
book he says: 1.-THE railroad debt
of Missouri has become n leading
topic for discussion among the PEG.
pie. The property of
thcsc corporations on which the state
had a first lien " = was yari.
ously estimated in lSGj.G.7-S, at from
$50, 0O0 600 to SO ,000, 000."
Atthis time the total railroad mile.
age in this state was 925 miles. 1t
must be remembered that this value
was right after the civil war, when
every railroad in the state had been
torn up by the soldiers of both arm.
les when bridges had been burned
when the rolling stock was of the
poorest kind and when the roads had
one engine where they now have 200
and when they had one car where
they now have 800. As n matter of
fact Seiherl's estimate is only for 10
miles of railroad, because he refers
10 the railroads sold by the Republi.
cans, and the II. & St. Joe was not
II of them, but we give him the
benefit of every mile of railroad in
the state, 925 miles, which he says
were worth S45, 1000, 900.
If 1925 miles were worth Sal, OO0,-
900, that would mean $751; 900 per
mile, and at the rate of $4,000 per
mile the present railroads, 1853
miles, would be worth 1921, 900, 600.
Now let's see what Mr.. Seibert.
who is one of the members of the
Board Of Equalization to assess rail-
road property, says when under oath,
for the purposes Of taxation. Ac.
cording TO the Auditors report of
1890. he assesses 1868 miles of rail.
roads at Sj7,273, 9ll.G4. In other
words he says 925 miles of broken
down railroads was worth $4,000.
600 in 1866, and under his oath of
Office says 5,SG3 miles in 1890 are
worth only 57,273,9ll.Gl.
If these 925 miles of broken down
railroads we're wocth SIS, 900 per
mile in 1866, why ,re not the 1858
miles Of fine roads in 1890, worth the
same? And if worth the same why
arc they assessed at only s57, 600.

WHAT U-iS TIE TARIFF?

"When it was proposed to take
the tax off of matches the claim was
made that American manufacturers
would be compelled TO quit business,
but the tax was taken off and now
there are ten factories in operation
in place of two when the tax was
maintained and matches are 200 or
800 per cent cheaper TO consumers"

WILL the Tribune please refresh
IL memory. What was the import
duty on matches! We remember
that there was an internal revenue
tax of two cents on matches but do
not know there was an import duty
levied.

He says the intolerance did not come

He says the intolerance did not come
from the old confederate element but
from young democrats who we're
urged on by others belonging to
officc.holding rings. This seems TO
be q democratic trait. While Major
Warner was speaking in this city, q
democratic ruffian, who it lis said
was put up to it by others, insultcd
Warner, and now the small editor of
the Boonville advertiser wants him
rewarded by having him elected to
the position of doorkeepcr of the
House of Representatives. These
acts explain why Missouri has not
kept up with Illinois, Kansas. and
Iowa. When the candidate for pre-
s.dent on the Farmers Alliance ticket
is rotten eggcd in Georgia and the
republican candidate for governor of
Missouri is insulted at the Capital Of
the state, for which insult he is to be
rewarded, is it necessary to ask why
people from the East hasten through
Missouri in order to locate in Kansas?
These things taken with Stones
bloody shirt speeches and the stig-
%matization of Warner, who has lived
in Missouri three years longer than
Mr.. Stone, with the epithet of
"carpet baggcr," gives evidence of
an intolerant spirit that we did not
believe existed in Missouri in 1892,
% years after the close Of the civil
war. The young mar who believes
in free speech, n free ballot and q
fair count, should ponder over these
acts when he casts his first vote.
