Ex-Governor T. T. CRITTENDEN
made a rousing speech to a fine au-
dience at the Court House Monday
night and was listened to with close
attention by a large audience. Gov
ernor Crittenden handled Warner
without gloves and referring to his
past record says:
l desire to ask Major Warner a
few specific questions, to which
categorical answers are demanded
by the people whose votes he is
soliciting upon his campaign
promises of a complete regenera-
ton and publication of Missouri
politics.
First-Is it true, as generally be-
lieved by your neighbors, that at the
election in 1885, when you were a
candidate for Congress against John
f. Phillips, the returns were falsiied
and ballots bearing the name of
Phillips stolen from the ballot box
and others bearing your name sub
stituted therefor in the Second Ward
of KansasCit by your friends if not
by your relatives, and without which
corrupt manipulation of the ballots
the returns would have shown Judge
Phillips election?
Seconds it true, us is generally
believed, that the same crime was
praeticed by your friends at the same
election, in your interest, in both
the Sixth and Seventh wards?
Thirds it true that those
crimes we're purchased in your in
terest by a large sum of money,
raised by certain parties who would
profit by your election, after the
polls had been closed and after
it was publicly believed and con-
coded that Judge Phillips was
elected2
Fourth-Did you for two years
occupy the office and receive the
emoluments of a member of Con-
gress from the Fifth Missouri Dis
trict when you knew, OF ought to
have knoAu by the exercise of ordi-
nary judgment, that the people of
the district had repudiated you and
elected Judge Phillips to represent
them?
Fifth-If you are personally inno-
cent of the truth of the matters here
specifically referred to, do you not
know they are matters of common
fame, common talk and common be-
lief in Kansas City, and that (the
statute OF limitations having super
yened1 the parties who were the in
struments in the consummation of
the crime now openly confess it,

FROM this distance, and with all the lights so far thrown on the shocking tragedy, it appears that the arrest oi Miss Lillie Johnson as an accessory to the murder of Miss Freda Ward in Memphis Monday was another instance of oyer-zeal on the part of the Shelby county authorities. Subsequent deyel- Opments may demonstrate her guilt, but we will believe her innocent until direct and positive evidence is adduced to prove the contrary. We are not in it'' particularly, but our mind revolts nt the spectacle of a refined and mod est young girl being dragged of to jail because she ehanced to occupy the same buggy with an insane murderess. Why not arrest the six-year- r-old boy who was also in the buggy? Miss Johnson was probably no more guilty than he.

Deafness Can't be curaa

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in1amed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustaehian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a ruInbling sound or imperfect hearing. and when II is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and the tube restored to its normal condition. hearing will be de- stroyed forever Nine cases out of ten are caused by cartarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces We wilt give One Hundred Dollars for any ease Of Deafness tcaused by eatarThl that we cannot cure by taking Halls Cartarh Cure.

THE Nashville American, in the course Of a somewhat hyperbolical summing up of its reasons for aivocat- ing the candidacy of Henry Wstterson for the democratic nomination for the presidency, and enumerating the things he would do in case of election, concludes as follows:
 But he would do even more. High above the goddess of liberty. which rises from the magnificent capitol of the nation. up even to an altitude above the snowy crest of the monument erected to the glory of the father of his country, he would place the sub lime statue of his own star-eyed god dess of reform. Her shining face. all bright with the roses of dawniRg tri- nmph, should be the first t0 greet the rising sun of national progress. and her beautiful arms would be stretched out in benedictions upon her millions of happy and worshippiDg yotaries.

A LAW providing for the working of county convicts on the pablic roads ill., stead of farming them out to the highest bidder would be d blessing to Arkansas. Under this arrangement every county in the state would, at a mparatiyely small cost, i'll ten years have system of splendid macadam- ized roads. which would be worth hun- dreds of thousands of dollars to the people, Something like this must be done before We can hope to have good roads. If the problem is to be solved at all. this will approach as nearly a satisfactory solution as anything we know of.
