AuDRAIN COUNTY is in favor of a
liberal appropriation for the State
University, and we presume that
Hon. A. B. Medley, our member,
so understands the matter. We
heard this matter discussed quite
extensively to-day and as it has
been reported that Medley was op-
posed to any appropriation there
was a great deal of talk of asking
him to resign and let somebody.
who understands the desires of
Audrain represent the Co. in the
Legislature. As we understand
the matter, Mr.. Medley is not op-
posed to the appropriation but is
very anxious to represent the will
of his constituency. Audrain
County is in favor of education, is
in favor Of schools, is in favor oil
churches, is in favor of Universities !;
Audrain County, one of the banner
Democratic counties of Missouri
is in favor of enlightenment. We
are sure that Hon. A. B. Medley
in representing Audrain County in
the Legislature will vote for what
he thinks is for the best interests of
our people in this direction.

THE KINGDOM OF CALLaWAY.
How the Title Was Earned at the
Expense of John B. Henderson.
From the Chicago Herald.

The sage advice OF John B.Hen-
derson, formerly of Missouri, on the
question of war with Chilli" said a
guest of the Palmer House yester-
day, reminds me that he is per-
haps qualified, like the war horse of
Job, to talk of war. Back in the
early days of 81 matters and things
were somewhat dubious in old
Missouri. John B. Henderson was;
even then, a lawyer of great promi-
nence. Naturally being staunch
union man, he was appointed to a
command of volunteers. Fate SO
willed it that he became a hrigadier
general of militia, with headquarters
at Mexico, Audrain county, Mo.
He had under his immediate COM
mand about / 800 raw militia. Just
south of him lay the great county OF
Callaway-a county that still rolls
up its $500 Democratic majority
At that time its procliyities were dis
tinctly Southern General Hender-
son knowing these facts, conceived
the idea of marching south and sub
DUNG the recalcitrant Callawegians.
He mustered his forces and cut loose
from his base. Judge his surprise
when he had proceeded well into
Galloway to find opposed to him an
equal force. True it is that they
were armed with shotguns and
seythes, and true, also it is that GER
tain front wheels, with tongues at
tached, had been taken from farm
wagons and ominous black logs
mounted thereon, making verisim-
ilitude of cannon, especially as they
were carefully hid with studious
negligence in bush. But to General
Henderson they were bristling can
non. The enemy was under the
command of the illustrious JEFF
Jones. In the language of the wild
and woolly west, Henderson thought
he had ,'bit off more than he could
chaw,' so he showed a flag Of
truce and bespoke parley.
He and JEFF met midway be-
tween the hostile lines. The result
of the conference was that JEFF
agreed on his part, and in be-
half of the country of Galloway, that
said county would not wage war on
the United States, provided, how
ever, that the said United States
would solemnly covenant that it
would not invade the county OF
Galloway. In other words, the
county OF Galloway would remain
neutral in the impending fratricidal
strife if the United States would,
through their military representa-
tive, General Henderson, refrain
from armed invasion of the sacred
precincts of Galloway. To this our
military general solemnly agreed,
and the opposing force was at once
disbanded. During the remainder
of the civil war Galloway county
kept its compact, and so far as I
know the United States never in
vaded its sacred soil. The armistice
still subsists in full force and vigor.
Hence Galloway county is still
known to this day as the Kingdom
of Galloway" a title proudly earned
and proudly maintained

THE suicide last night at Hardin
College of a bright and beautiful
young lady is an event which casts
a gloom over our entire community
The causes which produced the
frame of mind resulting in the sui
eide, existed altogether outside of
Mexico. The editor of this paper
does not think it would be proper to
publish in full the letter left by the
young lady, as it was addressed to
her mother, and in main, should be
considered sacred. Suffice it to say
the young lady committed suicide
with generalization and aforethought
as the lawyers would say. She told
her mother Christmas that she would
never see her again. Only this week
she sent her sweetheart S letters and
trinkets home. The blame, if there
is any blame for this deplorable af-
fair, does not rest on any one resid-
ing in this city. 1t may and it may
not have been the result Of the love
affair.

IT Is literally true that the most
rapid progress that has ever been
made by the human race has been
made by the people of the United
States within the lifetime OF the
present generation. There is evil
dence of this in every direction OF
activity. The continued growth
alike of the great western cities, our
constantly increasing commerce and
manufactures, the new develop
ment Of the southern states, the ac-
emulation of wealth and the con-
tinued decrease in the rate of in
terest-all these things, as well as
the prodigious movement which ex-
presses itself by continual in
creasing patronage Of our oldest in
stitutions of learning, and in the
founding of new institutions alike
in the east and in the west, indicate
that the most important industrial
epoch perhaps in the whole history
of civilization is the epoch in which
we live. A broad view of American
progress during recent years brings
home to every thoughtful student
the conviction that we are living in
a time richer both in results and in
promise, in interesting subjects for
investigation and for public discus
sion, than any preceding time.

The Missouri Delegates to the
Convention in Chicago to nominate
the next President of the United
States should be men of influence
and high standing in the party. To
such a convention cheap men should
never be sent. Missouri voters
like to see delegates sent to Chicago,
whose character would preclude any
claim of working for personal mo-
tives. Men should be sent, who
represent the aggregate opinion Of
the State. Delegates selected from
Audrain County to the Convention
in 'Ieffeason City should be chosen
with this idea in view.

consist of Audrain, Howard, Boone,
Randolph, Montgomery, Galloway,
Lincoln and Pike. This bill has
been prepared with special refer
ence to railroad connections between
the county seats. This new bill
will also favor an increase of salary
from $4,000 paid to $4,000; but as
the number of Judges will be re-
duced and the amount of work
placed on each increased. the extra
expense to the State will amount to
only $4,000 per year.
