WARMERS CLAPTRAP.

He Should Not "Stand Up For Missouri
BY sIanderfng Her People
In Warmers claptrap Missouri speech
at Sedalia there was something hideouS
and repulsive.
Even in political times the slanderin8
of a commonwealth is fortunately rare
Mai Warner describes a Missouri
which never did exist-a land of intol-
erance. poverty, ignorance and retro
erosion
He describes the regeneration re-
publican Office holders would effect
if they were put into the capitol build
ing.
Missouri has the two largest and most
rapidly growing cities between Chicago
and the Pacific. The state increased
in population 500, 900 between 1850 and
1890. 1t spends money literally upon
public schools and colleges are numer-
Gus in every section
Missouri not only invites immigration
but takes good care of all the people
who come. The citizens of no other
state get as much for the money they
pay in taxes.
To paint this fortunate and growing
commonwealth as pining for the minis
trations of William Warner and his po-
litical staff is piece of clown business.
There is enough of seriousness to give
it a tone of offensiveness which will
awaken a resentment at the polls in
November.
All Missouri needs is the overthrow
of the tariff system which interferes
with the industries of her people
If William Warner wishes to stand up
for Missouri let him take the right side
of the tariff question City

WHY THE CHANCE2

The Kansas City Journal Has UndergonO
Wonderful Change Of Heart rs to Maj.
Warmers Methods.
The Kansas City Times is at present
searching back files of the Kansas City
Journal in regard to the career of one
William Warner, and is daily producing
some very interesting reading matter,
all the more so because it is a republic
an opinion of a republican. During the
city campaign of 1876 Maj. Warner was
a candidate for Office and Col. r T. Van
Horn, editor of the Journal for thirty
six years, was chairman of the repub-
lican state committee, and in a position
to know all the maneuvers of the tric<y
politician, whom he denounced as q
counterfeit republican. The Journal
handled the major without gloves and
no stronger denunciation of his meth
DDS can be found than in its columns OF
that date. If the Journal has any re-
gard for consistency it should come for
ward and let the public know its rear
sons for changing its former and sim
cere phillippics to sychophantic lula
bies.
When the slush fund is distributed
the major should remember the Journal
and reward its noble crow-eating effort

The Muscular Strength of a Trout.

about a four-inch volume of water
pouring over il. The trout ranged ii
size from ten 10 eighteen inches, and
during the time we sat there al least
twenty managed to get over. In many
instances first attempt failed. owing.
however. more to an apparent want OF
Judgment or perhaps of experience,
than from lack Of physical ability in
the fish to accomplish the feat, the
smaller fish, as a rule, failing to get
over in the first effort But few of the
larger fish made a clean jump into the
smooth water above the apron of the
dam: most of them passed perpendicu-
larry up the falling waters and with
apparent ease. These fish were en-
abled to swim straight up this down

Why did the republicans thus give away s5.-

found in the report OF the committee appointed
by the board OF directors Of the Pacific Rail-
road Co TO lobby the act Of March 81 1865
through the legislature That report was fled
as an exhibit in the suit CT James Lamb ct al
