policy of monopoly which enables its

out OF the rich tribute to hire Pirkerton

THE NEW MISSOURI.
Mr.. Chairman, j have read Maj. War

abounded in vague rhetorical fiourishcs
| about New Missouri widc-open,
progressive Missouri" He speaks of it
in glittcring metaphors as francis Orel-
| lana described his shining terra incog
nita, the fabulous Ell Dorado of the
| o!den time. How he is to transport us
! into this Promise Land, flowing with
the traditional milk and honey, he does
| not condescend to advise us. He does,
| indeed, declare a sanguinary purpose.
| firm. fixed and irrevocablc, to strike off
not one, but all the heads of that myth
| ical hydra he calls Bour5onism. what
ever that may be. But beyond this
butchers act of bloody decapitation he
does not deign to unfold to curious and
vulgar eyes his great designs. He
outlines no purpose, he indicates no
policy, he develops no system. He
swears there shall be a revelation some
day or some other day. and that in
all due time he will press his Alladin's
| ring and summon to his aid some oc-
cult influence, some superDal energy,
| some mighty, invisible force, which,
| under his august command. Will bear
| the state up bodily into the celestial
regions where all of us, rich ard poor,
black and white, enrapturcd and in
love. can lie down in cool and shady
places by prrling brooks. henceforth

course of his providence, moving mys-
