THE statement being published in
the papers throughout the country
that Henry Woolwine would have
been mobbed last week except for
interference is without foundation.
The people of Audrain county are
law abiding citizens. They do not
believe in mobs but in the enforce
ment of the law. The laws of this
country are very specific for such
crimes as Woolwine is charged
with and if found guilty he will re-
ceive such punishment as he de-
serves. Mobs, as a usual thing,
only flourish where the laws r not
enforced as they should be.

The Kansas City Star says: They
are laughing in Mexico over the
strategy OF an old gentleman who
believes in having his family in bed
in good season. Not long ago a
young man called upon this old
mans daughter and remained very
late. The parent grew restless at
this audacity and resolved upon
harsh measures. Crawling out Of
bed and then down the stairs he
crept out under a window opening
into the room where the victims
were. Here he paused a moment
for breath and then slapping his
thighs he blared out a hearty crow.
The hint was sufficient.

Is 1t an AMBUSH
From the Chicago News.

For some reason the Republican
managers r exceedingly quiet.
They are not exhibiting any great
degree of confidence and only a
moderate amount of hope.
In sharp contrast with the Re-
publicans the Democrats are vocifer-
ously claiming everything that is
claimable.
1t is not to be assumed that the
apparent attitude of the two parties
reveals the real conditioned things.
If it does do SO, then it may be set
down that the contest is ended and
that the election of Nov. s viii be a
mere legal formality.
But it is very certain that the Re-
publicans have not lost hope in the
midst of the battle. 1t is easier to
believe that this quiet is an artifce
alluring and deluding the vain
glorious Democrats into an am
bush that has been prepared for
them.
The silence in the Republican
camp bodies no good for the Dem
ocrats.

The Iallitr of Youth and Age.

Hawthorne says: Externally, the
jollity of aged men has much in
common with the mirth of children;
the intellect, any more than a deep
sense Of humor, has little to do with
the matter; it is, with both, a gleam
that plays upon the surface and inn
parts a sunny and CHEEKY aspect
alike to the green branch and gray,
Wondering trunk. In one case,
however, it is real sunshine; in the
other, it more resembles the phos-
phorsscent glow Of decaying wood.

The Constitutional Amendment.

The Missouri State Firemen's AS
ISOLATION has issued a circular call
ing attention to the vote on a con
stitutional amendment. This
amendment authorizes the General
Assembly to provide by law for the
creation and maintenance of a fund
for the pensioning of crippled and
disabled firemen, and for the relief
of the widows and minor children of
deceased iremen, by such cities,
villages or incorporated towns as
may have an organized fire depart
ment, said funds to be taken from
the municipal revenue of such cities,
villages Or Incorporated towns
AS the Constitution now stands it
prohibits any city or town making
provision of the kind contemplated
and thereby prevents needed relief
to a class of citizens who by their
jealous labors have merited the
good wishes and support OF the peo-
pie of the State. The proposed law
will not increase taxation; it will
not add to the debt of the State or
that Of any municipal government;
it will not tax the farmer or the citi-
zens or a town or city where no fire
department exists. But it will en-
able those cities which so desire to
provide for the relief of the men who
have risked their lives, and in many
cases given them up, for the pre-
servation of the lives and property
of their fellowmen.
In nearly every state in the I'M
ion laws of this nature have been in
operation for several years, and at
its last session the Missouri Legis-
lature recognized the business of the
demand for such a law and passed
a resolution submitting an amend
ment to the Constitution.
The Sturgeon Leader is eminently
correct in the following: 1t is al
most every mans privilege and it
becomes his duty to live within his
means-not up to but within them.
Wealth don't make the man, and
should never be taken into account
in our judgment of men; but COM
petenee should always be secured
when it can by the practice of econo-
my and self-denial to only a toler-
able extent. 1t should be secured, |
not SO much for others, as to secure
to us the consciousness of indie
pendence, and the constant salts
faction which is received from its
requirement and possession.

What the Democrats Really Promise.
From the Brooklyn Citizen.


Speaker Crisp, in the curse Of
his speech in New York yesterday,
said among the other wise and nota-
able things: "The democrats do
not say they will increase wages.
They say if you will give them an
opportunity they will pass a law
that will increase the purchasing
power of wages" This, without
any demagogery, is the truth con-
corning the bearing of the democratic
policy on the condition of the wage
earners of the land. By tariff re-
form it is possible without de-
creasing wages IN any quarter to
add 25 per cent to the purchasing
power of the money received by the
people in compensation for
their toll. In the matter of wool
alone the democratic policy would
be equivalent to a gift of 5000, QO0,-
600 per annum to the people.
