MISSOURI MUST BE II.

While the cold figures of 1888 gave
the state to the democrats by some
$1,000 plurality, and in 1890 by 81, 00O
il is not good politics to he laying
claims to such maiOrties this fall rs will
cause the party to think there is no
need of exertion.
In 1888, the democracy of Missouri
was surer of nothing than of Francis's
election. His opponent was compar-
atively unknown, and supposed to be a
personally weak candidate. But little
attention was given the gu~bernatorial
campaign by the republicans for they
were not inspired by the hope of win
ming.
The surprise that came over the dem
ocrats when Francis majority began to
fall below 5000 and then fell clear
Of sight, leaving him in a minority of
the whole vote, was a veritable chill
along the party's spinal column.
The INTELLIGENCER does-not know
that Col. Stone Is any more popular
as a candidate than was David Il. Fran
els, but it believes that Major Warner
is capable of making a much more Wig
orous and effective campaign than
did MI. Kimball four years ago. 1t
has reasons for believing that the re-
publican party is making a much more
strenuous effort than it did then, and
they are inspired with a hope that a.
far as the g%overnorship is concerned
they are going TO win.
That hope must be disappointed.
Their efforts must be defeated. William
Warner must be beaten, not because he
is William Warner but because he stands
for the republican party of Missouri.
The INTELLIGENCER does not care to
go unnecessarily into ancient history,
but to the republican party of Missouri,
clings the stencil of a record that is
odious. The party again in power
might not repeat that record, but as
the burned child breads the fire, so do
an intelligent people avoid that which
has ever put their interest and their
liberties in danger. The republican
party of Missouri can only be
tried and judged upon its record and
that record is essentially a part of the
who led the p arty in making it.
To beatthe party it necessary to bead
the leader.

FERTILE SPRINGS.
As Seen by u LexingtOnian-A Lady
Visitor to Pertle Springs this
Week Writes thus to the Intel
ligenceP of that Highly
Popular Resort.

"When nature found the spring and its
surroundings here she seemed satisfied to
rest from her labors and leave the rest to
man. God only knows how long ago that
was, but the man who took up the work
where nature left off was j. IL. Christie
pher.
For one to appreciate how well that
labor has been carried on one must visit
this lovely place named by Mr.. Christie
pher Pertle Springs.
1t is here the combined efforts of nature
and art have accomplished so much, each
succeeding in it's W way in working
out the design with masterful hand.
The attractions are numerous. The
lakes, five in number, with their fairy
like boats; the pools that are so inviting
to the swimmers, the long, slender bridges
that span the distance of one hundred
feet or more, and over which one, oftener
two alone, like to stroll; besides the
shades OF the grand old forest trees n
grassy knobs, andi many, many more
beauties OF the handiwork of the Aforesaid
co"ioIne make ones resiIcn"e here ever
pleasant and healthful.
The hotel. with the new additions,
will accommodate four or five hun
dred people. The facilities for climbing
hills are equal to any ones desire. One
can climb the hills or walK round them

A JUDICIAL

On the morning of July 9Th, the
Homestead strikers, having been reused
out Of their beds before daylight by
pickets whom they had stationed to
warn them of the coming of men en-
ployed by the Carnegie steel company
to protes 1t their mill, assembled in force,
ran swiftly to the mill yard, broke
through the fence that surrounded it,
and engaged in a battle with the Com
panys' men, in which a number were
killed on both sides. The next day
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, delivered
a speech in the U. S. Senate in which
he said.
81 MAINTAIN that at the time of the
assault upon these people, the strikers
at Homestead, they were there where
they had a right to be; they were upon
ground they had a right to defend. Do
you ask me if these men may by force
take possession of the property of an
otherp No. They were conducting them
selves IN the lines of their rights as /
understand them. Business was sus-
pended, and these men were simply
awaiting the settlement of the disputed
question between them and their en-
ployers"
Encouraged by this u~tterance, and
by others like it in many leading news
papers, The strikers had the hardihood
to charge with murder the and
managers of the mill who had procured
men to guard their property, and fore
ed them into court. AS a matter of
technical form, the arrested men were
compelled TO give bail, but how little
likely they are to be punished, appears
from the remarks of Judge Ewing of
the Pittsburg court of common pleas,
before whom they were brought for
sslimitment The Judge said.
no begin With, / want to say that
4 do not think you need make a charge
of murder against any of those who
were not actually present at the fight,
because it would be simply wasting the
time of the court 10 try any of those
cases. The charges cannot possibly be
sustained unless it is proved positively
that the men were on the barges OF
boats at the time of this fight. l think
if the stories published in the news
papers are true, none of the men against
whom information has been made
can be held for murder in the first de-
gree. The parties in the mill property
were there without the shadow of &
right . The men on the barge had the
right to use all necessaryforce to retain
rightful possession OF this property
tits not very material who began the
shooting. If there is a case here, l will
hear it but unless you are prepared tc
show a deliberate killing, preconsidere'
and wilful, there is no use in trying t.

at is an injury to the men in tryin.
to argue the matter. The newspaper
and some lawyers should not undertak
to make an equality in the rights o
the two parties. The men on the BAN
had no right to be there"
After this severe and pointed ar
/ raignment OF the strikers and SO sharp
a statement of the law, it is Difficult
to see how any laws obiding citizen car
+ longer express sympathy for so clear
, violation of laws as was the riot a

And as for the bread-crusts, Oh, myl

There was never a piece of cold pie.
One angel in white brought a doughnut,
Another of chicken a thigh,

But marry a one a cold pie.

With a slice of white cake lying by,
But with all the good things we

We turned away sadly from hashes,
At chicken and CAKE heayed a sigh,
For in all the vast heaps OF refreshments
There was not, not a bit of cold pie.
