Mr.. Edgar a Candidate.

Hon. w. X. Edgar is candidate for
Congress. The meeting last Saturday
settled that question. The proceedings
OF that body are published in full in
this paper, and even the cold, formal,
official report shows the unusual en-
thusiasm and unanimity prevailing.
1t was a big meeting-the largest mass
convention held in Iron county for
many years-a love-feast of the Democ-
racy. While there were other matters
Of interest before the convention. it
was apparent from the start to the fin
ish that the question of candidates for
the chief Office of the State and for
Congress from the 18th district domi-
mated all. The resolution calling upon
Mr.. Edgar to enter upon the contest
was heartily cheered and unanimously
adopted by rising vote. It was not
an endorsement cooked and prepared
to order, by selected henchmen who
seek to dominate conventions and run
them in Individual interest; it was the
expression of a meeting composed main
ly of farmers and laborers from the in
terror of the county-men who in Civ
ing voice to their demands and prefer
ences seek only the general good.
Coming from such a source, and in such
manner-from friends and acquaint-
ances of years standing, who know
him intimately and understand his abil-
ity and fitness-the call could not be
ignored, and Mr.. Edgar responded
promptly and fttingly. He is in the
race to the finish, and, we firmly be-
lieve, to win. He is the logical candi-
date for the Thirteenth District in the
year Of grace 1892: Democrat, clean,
straight and capable. With no entang-
ling alliances, and no animosities to-
ward other aspirants, Iron county pre-
sents him to the people of the District
for their sutfrages in full confidence of
their ultimate endorsement.

A Senseless Blunder.

THE Democratic Congressional Com
mittce of the new 18th Congressional
District met at De Soto, Saturday last,
June 18th, for the purpose of organic
ing and fixing the time and place of
holding the next Congressional Con-
vcntion. All the counties in the Dis
trict. except St. Francois, Ste. Gene
We've and Texas were represented.
The meeting was called to order at 10
o'clock by Committeeman Burns, of
Perry county, who stated the object of
the meeting and announced that nom
nations for chairman of the new com
mittee were in order Committeeman
ThOs ~ Horn, of Madison county, was
chosen chairman, and Harry Fyan, of
Webster county, was then selected as
secretary. Piedmont was selected as
the place, and September 9th as the
time for holding the Convention. The
base of representation was fixed at one
delegate for each $50 votes, and one
for each fraction of 80 or over, cast for
Cleveland in 1888. The Secretary was
instructed to furnish copy of the pro-
ceedings to each Democratic paper Of
the district, after which the Committee
adjourned.

ed that the money should be voted only
on the understanding that the show
was to be closed on Sundays. Another
stipulated that no Intoxicating liquors
should at any time be sold anywhere on
the Exposition grounds. The Hon.
Walt II. Buffers amendment affixed
the following condition:
PrOUided, That there shall not be ex-
hibited in the Art Gallery of the
Worlds Columbian Exposition. or in
either of the annexes thereof, any
painting which shall contain a nude or
partially nude figure or figures. Nor
shall there be permitted to be exhibit
ed in the said Art Gallery or its annexes
or in any part of the grounds of the
said Exposition any statute or group
which shall contain a nude or partially
nude figure or figures, but that all
such figures shall be properly and mod
estly draped in such manner as will
conform to the American standard of
purity in art, as petitioned for by a
large number of the people OF this
country"
This attempt to establish by legisla-
tion an American standard of purity in
art, and to put pantalettes on Venus
and trousers on Apollo. failed by a
vote which is not recorded. 1t is a
pity there was no roll call. 1t would

Night came, but no rest for me; the

out at the next station, have little

NOMINATE BLAINE.

Cleveland World.
The people want Blaine. There is no
mistaking this fact. Go East, go West,
and as you go ask the men you meet
whom they prefer for the Presidency,
and if they are Republicans they will,
nine out of every ten, say that they
want Blaine. What the people want
they should have. They have had a
long time to carefully consider this
matter and they have arrived at de-
liberate conclusion.
If Mr.. Blaine is not nominated at
Minneapolis the people will be dlsap-
pointed and it is not well to enter upon
campaign with the voters in that
frame of mind. Mr.. Blaine as the Re-
publican candidate would sweep the
country. Nothing can stand before the
enthusiasm that his name and fame
would create. He is the greatest. He
is the strongest. Why not select the
strongest? Is the greatest and strongest
any too great or any too strong?

TIE SOUTHERN QUESTION.

OF the Education of the Negro, says
Dr. VIM. T. Harris, in an article under
that title, in the June Atlantic:
With the colored people all educated
in schools and becoming a reading peo-
pie interested in the daily newspaper;
with all forms of industrial training ac
cessible to them, and the opportunity so
improved that every form of mechani-
cal and manufacturing skill has its its
quota of colOred working men and wom-
en-; with colored ministry educated in
Christian theology interpreted in the
missionary spirit, and finding its auxili-
aries in modern literature-with these
educational essentials, the negro prob
lem for the South will be solved with
out recourse to violent measures of any
kind, whether migration, or disfran-
chisement, or ostracism. Mutual respect
for moral and intellectual character, for
useful talents and industry, will surely
not lead to miscegenation, but only to
what is desirable, namely, to civil and
political recognition.

was vociferonsly cheered when he de.
clared that "protectionist America was
passing free trade England in the
worlds commercial race in a canter.'
Sir Charles Tupper said that free trade
might once have been excellent, but as
it was proving fatal tn Canada policy
of incidental protection was strongly
conducive to the maintenance of its ties
with Great Britain" He said that
Cobden's prediction that all nations
would follow England in adopting free
trade had proved fallacious, and he be-
lieved that if Golden were alive to-day
he would not be a free trader. Lord
Salisbury, the British Premier, says that
free trade is leading England to com
mercial and industrial ruin, or words to
that effect.
The reaction against free trade in
Great Britain has set in with great force
and it may be expected to grow until
the policy inaugurated in 1916 is over
thrown. Lord Salisbury favors protec-
tion and reciprocity-the American sys-
tenn. The most advanced public men
in England now recognize and admit
the wisdom of the policy followed in
this country. They declare that it has
made us the foremost manufacturing
notion in the world, and they believe it.
In their hearts they admire the perse-
verance and the pluck and intelligence
of the Republican party, which is the
author of al this prosperity, and they
must look with contempt upon the
Democratic party, which has fought and
is still fighting the benefcicnt protective
policy.

New york Mail aud Express.
There is nc reason in sight to doubt
that President Harrison will be re-nOm-
mated either by acclamation or on the

believe that no man can be nominated
against him, unloss the nomination of
a "dark horse" comes on the first ballot.
President Harrison's friends will be for
him on the first ballot and on the last
ballot, unless he shall take himself out
of the contest. 1t must be clear tu any
one gifted with common sense that
those who have stuck to President Har-
rison thus far mean to stick to him to
the end. And it must be evident that
those who are opposed to President
Harrison, and who have been call at sea"
as to their Presidential choice, will in
all probability contidue to drift with the
tide. Nothing can prevent the re-nom-
ination of President Harrison except

AN IMPORTANT POSTSCRIPT.

Youths Companion.
A French gentleman engaged upon a
profound scientific work rang for his val
ct. Then he sat down at his table and
wrote note: kindly send some one
to arrest the cook. She has stolen my
purse" This he directed to the chief of
police.
The valet appeared, and while wait
ing for his master to finish writing he
picked up something that was lying un-
der the table. AS he took the note he
said: "Monsier, here is your purse. L
found it under the table,"
"Ah, just in time. Give me the note,
Jean"
He added this postscript: 81 have
found my purse. 1t is unnecessary to
send any one," and handed the letter to
the valet, saying: "Deliver this at once.
1t is important" Then he went back to
his work.
