During the road conven-
tion in Chilicothe there will be an
exhibition of road construction by
skilled workmen. This will be
given as an object lesson, and is
in the right direction. Good roads
are the most urgent need of Mis-
souri's rural districts whose gen.
eral enterprise fully entities them
to the best highways. The bad
ness of Missouri roads is proverb-
ial. The pecuniary loss inflicted
upon the state by bad roads is
very great. People in cities and
towns may think this does not
concern them, but they are mis-
taken. The marked check upon
trade each spring, owing to well
nigh impossible roads in some
sections, is significant evidence of
the extent of the actual loss by
the maintenance Of highways that
ought not be tolerated in any civ
ilized country. This road making
exhibit, if rightly managed, will
serve a valuable educational pur-
pose.
The county court at its July
session appointed Stephen Hall as
agent to purchase fifty feet off the
north side of lot Z, block %, old
town of Kirksville, said purchase
te be used as site for court
house. The Graphic does not
question the honesty of the motive
which induced the county court to
take this step, but as business
proposition it is exceedingly bad.
Again the county court is posi-
lively without authority to pur-
chase court house site SO long as
the ! county is already in posses
sion of one. The park is now the
property of the county, decided to
the county tor public use, and un-
til it is disposed of the county
court is without any authority
whatever to purchase another site.
If the county court persists in
making the deal as contemplated,
it is possible that the restrain
Ing hand of mandamus will be
placed upon that honorable body.
The better and safer way would
be to first dispose of the old site,
and then proceed legally In the
purchase of new one.

- The Republican county
convention did excellent work in
nominating a ticket last Saturday
afternoon.
Capt. Hatch denounces the
country press as nuisance. In
his denunciation he refers only to
the papers that have fearlessly
denounced him as a demagogue
and political trickster
The people of Knox County
hsye come to the conclusion that
twelve years is long enough to hold
one Office. The Peoples party
will have candidate for the Office
of circuit Judge in Turner's dis
trict.
1t would be difficult to get
a better ticket than the one nomi-
mated by the Republicans last Sat
urday afternoon. Every man on
the ticket is entitled to, and can
command the support of every
Republican in the county.
According to Dun's COM
merclal report, the failures for the
first SIX months of the year num-
bered 55O3 as against 67O4 during
the same period in 1891, showing
a decrease of 57l. The total liza
bilities were S62,273,6S0 as CON-
pared with S92,416, 267 for the first
half of 1891, showing a decrease
of about S30,000,0O0.
The demagogues would set
tie all differences between capital
and labor, and industrial disturb
snces of every kind by abolishing
the protective tariff. They would
throw down every protective bar
rier between the well paid, pros
porous American working man and |
the foreign laborer who produces
the same goods, but receives one
third to one-half the American
wages. They would abolish strikes
byabolishlng American industry.
"A campaign may be said to
open with the calling of the con-
vantion to order that makes the
nominations. A fatal mistake is
often made in the selection of the
chairman, for it is extremely diff
cult to correct a blunder made at
the beginning. The chairman
should have sufficient knowledge
to conduct the business of a con-
vention with dispatch, and sense
of honor. 30 high that personal
motives could not induce him tol
attempt to thwsrt the will of the
body over which he presides.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Among the pas
sengers who landed last evening from the

wsll-built, broad shouldered man in fash
ionsble attire whose peculiarly upright

fitting fall overcoat He was taken into
the examination ROOM and despite his in
diguant protests was obliged 10 remove his
clothing. II was then found that ne wore
about his body something that was cross
between q woman's corset and life pre-
server, and In it were pockets which con-
tanned sixty eight valuable gold watches.
The watches were seized and the man
locked up in Ludlow street jail.
His name is Louis Marke, and he IS a
resident OF some town Ia Washington,
where it is believed he keeps iewelry
store. The watches found on him were
valued at $4,000. The prisoner when ar
rRigned before the United States Commits
sioner Shields said his name was Louis
Marbet, and that be was a baker and lived
for several years in Seattle. He went to
Switzerland in July last and bought the
watches there, he said, for $780, He is
held for examination on default Of s., 500

A telegram from Seattle says: Louis
Marble, arrested in New YORK today for
watch smuggling, was employed here by
Piper & Preussen, bakers, up to about six
months ago, when he left suddenly without
giving any explanation other Than that be
was going TO Europe. He was very steady
fellow and had no known vices. He always

CAPTAIN WHEAToN's MONEY.
Burglars Walk on With Thirty Five Thou.
sand Dollars.

SEA ISLE C1TI, N. J., Nov. 14.-The
whole county of Cape May is greatly ex-
cited over the robbery of the residence of
Captain Elijah Wheaton at 1uckahoa.
Captain Wheaton and family left home
Tuesday for 3 short visit with friends.
Upon their return il was discovered that
money TO the amount of SIS, 0OO which had
been kept In bureau drawer, was missing,
but other sums in the house were left un-
fouchsd, the theft evidently being satisfied
with the first haul. Detectives have thus
far failed to md the slightest clue to the
ro5ber or the money. Captain Wheaton is
the owner Of large shipping interests and
very wealthy.
