FOR CONGRESS:
HON. HENRY PAGE.

lr was a very great surprise
TO the people of this county
TO learn on Monday that a few
gentlemen had protested to
Governor Brown against the
re-appointment of the present
School Board of Worcester
County. The Governor says
they represented to him that
there was great deal of dis
satisfaction with these gentle
men as School Commissioners.
If there is we never knew it
before. We believe that a
large majority of the citizens
of this county recognize them
as painstaking and efficient
officers and all know them to
be honorable and honest men.
We have taken the trou-
bic to ask nearly every citi-
zen we have run across and
we have not yet found one
man who would say that he
believed there was any need
or demand for a change in the
School Board. We most earn
estly recommend the present
Board of School Commission.
ers for re-appointment BY
Governor Brown. not from a
political standpoint but be-
cause of their experience,
and their acceptable perform
ance in the past of their off
cial duties. We recognize it
as one of the best School
Boards this County ever had
and we think Governor
Brown should by all means
re-appoint them. They have
the endorsement of nearly if
not every one of the County
Officials from the highest to
the lowest and if the Cover
nor listens to the voice of
the masses as well as those
who placed Worcester County
first among the Democratic
Coanties of the Shore he. will
not hesitate long in reap
pointing the present Board.

TIE re nominating Of the
Hon. Henry Page by the con
gressional convention a t
Ocean City on Wednesday
last by acclamation was Just as
it should have been. and ex-
pressed the sentiment of the
Democracy of the First Con
gressional District in an un-
mistakable manner. A sec
ond term is generally conced-
ed as certain to follow the
election of a congressman in
this State but had this not
been the case we have no
doubt Col. Page would have
been thus honored. His re-
cord during his first two years
would have entitled him to
reelection even though his
predecessors had not been so
honored. He is pre- eminent
" endowed with all the requi-
sites of the worthy represen-
tativc he has proven himself
to be. and his position on all
questions of vital Importance
is in direct accord with the
principles OF the Democratic
party. His indomitabIc cour-
age, talent and good Judge
ment during his first two years
in office have won for him a
name that reflects great cred
it upon him and places him IN
a position to accomplish much
good during the remainder OF
his term in office. We be
lievc no better man or worthy
representative can be found
in the state, and bespeak for
him unprecedented success as
such.

The State Worlds Fair Commission has adopted a plan for the Mis-
souri, building at the Worlds Fair. The building will be of the Spanish
Renaissance style of architecture. 1t will be in full view of and directly
opposite the main art gallery. The first floor will contain the rooms de-
yoteG to the advertisement of the resources OF the State, supplemental to
exterior materials, and will also contain the administration parlors and
some store rooms for supplies for the State exhibit. The main entrance
is a triple II and will be finished in sandstone, terra Gotta and marble.
1t will open direct into a grand vestibule "a feetwide, laid in mosaic style
and thanked either side with inches for telegraph, telephone, local post
office and terminating in the main rotunda, which is 30x4O feet in size.
From this rotunda direct access is had to all the departments on the first
floor, and two grand stairways will lead to the second floor. The main
area of the second floor st o be occupied by the auditorium, which will
be 4OMSS feet. At either ends will be reception rooms for ladies and
gentlemen respectively. They will be connected by large folding doors,
by opening which the auditorium may be increased. A portable stage
will be provided, which will be used in representing stpopicon views of
scenes in the State. Opening from the auditorium by several exits
stretches the promenade, aHording a sweeping view of two avenues.
Owing to the height of the auditorium, two balconies ire provided, and
they open into three suits of domestic apartments. From the balcony an
entrance is made to the tower, which surmounts the building and which
ends in an observatory.
The building will be constructed of materials native to Missouri.
Not an inch of material that has not been raised, quaried, mined or
manufactured within the State will be permitted to enter into its con-
structon.
The four corners of the end pavilion will be surmounted by the her.
aldic emblem of the State executed in zinc taken from the mines of the
State. Assurances of liberal donations of every building material pro-
duced in the State have been received.

The Governor says he did not plan
the removal of DIR. Rodes to provide
a place COR DIR. Atwood. The truth
is, he says, that the Board he APP
pointed reelected DIR. Rodes for a
term of three years without consult
ing with him and elected anew stew
ard before he knew that any such a
change was contemplated. Other
changes in the institution were made
without any suggestions to the Gov
ernor or consultation by the Board
with him. When he was asked
if he did not want to suggest some
one for the place vacated by DIR.
Rodes he replied he did not; that
it was the duty of the board to select
the superintendent and that he
would not interfere in any way
| whatever. In May or June, 1891,
after balloting seven times, the board
unanimously elected Atwood. Il

THIS is the time of the year when
the tin horn politician who does not
even control his own vote attempts
to get a chance to secure, for so
much money or for SO much liquor,
the votes of his ward or precinct.
We are glad to be able to say that
this kind of work don't go in grand
old Audrain county. People who
follow the profession of politicians
and who attempt to make a living
out of politics in this part of the
country have very poor picking.
There may be two or three here who
manage to get a dollar OIL two once
every year at the city primaries and
once every two years at the county
primaries, but they stand a pretty
good chance of being sold on the

THE old colored woman who used
to carry love letters between Abra-
ham Lincoln and Miss Todd has
just passed away in Chicago. There
seems to be no doubt that her claim
to the distinction was well founded.
She had abundant proofs of it and
her dates were all right. What is
distressing about the matter is that
Mrs. Smith is likely to become the
forerunner of a long line of similar
claimants. George Washington's
body servant died every year for a
quarter of a century and in many
widely separated parts of the coun-
try. The negro servant of President
Lincoln will probably be dying for
the next hundred years.
