The county affairs of Pettis county
under the present excellent admins
tration, have been conducted in such
a manner that one scarcely ever hear,
of a word of complaint. This may be
considered a. something novel, from
the fact that in almost every commu'
nifty there are a legion of kickers. ne
matter whether things are done RICH,
or wrong. The people of Pettis coun'
ty are to be congratulated under the
present state of affairs and hope con-
tinuance.

In the months of July and August
this year the exports Of breadstufis
from the United States fell off from
s45, 232, 8O1, the value sent abroad in
those months in 1891, to s33. 3Ol. 40.
This is only one of many straws
which go to show that the enactment
of the Mckinley bill is slowly running
the industries of the country. ItsprO-
visions, are intended particularly to
iniure the farmer.

crate prepared account of his arrest,
he writes: SIN March, 1866, was
indicted in Independence for preach
ing without taking the oath under the
new constitution. l was arrested by
the deputy sheriff, a man who before
the war would have never been thought
ofsin connection with any Office Of
trust. This man was D. Meadow and
his Endorsement now appears upon the
original warrant with which the indict-
ment is now on file in Independence"
The case against Mr.. Pugh was
called and continued by the state and
a new bond made. At the Septem-
Der term it was again continued and
in 1867 the supreme court Of the
United States decided that the law
was unconstitutional and the cause
was dismissed.
That is the way the republicans
stood up for Missouri in this county;
that is the way they stood up for Mis-
souri, all over the state.

Mr.. CLEVELAND TALKS.

Grover Cleveland has made many
speeches and written many letter.
since his appearance in public life,
and has never vet uttered or penned
sentence that did not breathe of the
highest order Of patriotism and states
manship. The purity Of his public
and private character is what makes
him to-day the most popular man in
all America-one in whom the people
have the most implicit confidence.
The other night there was quadren
NAL convention of democratic clubs
held at the Academy of Music. in
New York. On that occasion Mr..
Cleveland expressed these noble sen
timents:
at affords me special pleasure to
extend to you onthis0ccasion hearty
welcome. As citizen of this proud
municipality I am glad to assure you
our hospitality is always open and
generous. In behalf Of q community
distinguished for its Americanism and
federation in all matters of belief and
judgment, I know l may extend 9
cordial greeting to those who herr
represent political thoughtfuluess and
sincerity.
As an unyielding and consistent be
lever in democratic principles. 1 truss
l need not hesitate to pledge to thu
representatives of organized democ
racy the good will and fraternal sym
pathy of this democratic city.

Kansas City and jackson county
democrats, it seems are in fine feather,
and are determined that the reputa-
ton of the county shall be unvar-
nished-that although Maj. Warner
is resident of that section it shall
weigh not one iota in their convictions
Of political right. They know him to
be a rank enemy to their party princi-
piles. They know that he will stab
them with either the stilletto or put
his finger on the sledge hammer that
may attempt to destroy the demo-
cratic temple. The democrats of the
state have contempt for any person
or any community that will directly
or indirectly assist Maj. Warner in re-
ducing the democratic majority Of the
state. Hence, from the reports re-
ceived here it is a matter Of congratu-
lation to know that the democrats of
jackson county promise to be firm.

1t is announced and the places 10
Gated where Gov. Boies, of Iowa, will
deliver three speeches in this state.
Gov. Boies is popular in this state not
only from the fact that he has been
twice elected as the chief executive
from hitherto strongly republican
state, but from the fact that at all
times and under all circumstances he
has never failed in his devotion to
democratic principles. The republi.
cans month ago boasted that he
would speak no word in favor of the
national ticket. He has since not
only made pretty thorough canvass
of his own state, but has accepted in.
vitations in Missouri and other states.
There are giants in the democratic
party and among the number may be
mentioned such men as Boies and
Hill.

Your meeting is the council Of war
which precedes a decisive battle, and
your deliberations should be the pre-
paration for stormy conflict. All your
weapons and all your equipments are
soon to be tested. You have organ.
lied and labored and you have watched
and planned to insure your readiness
for the final engagement now near at
hand.
This then is no holiday assemblage,
but an impressive convocation in
furtherance Of the designs and pur-
poses for the accomplishment of which
you and those you represent are
banded together.
These designs and purposes as de-
clared by your association are: The
preservation of the constitution of the
United States; the autonomy Of the
states; the selfgovernment and free
dom Of elections; opposition to the
imposition Of taxes beyond the nee
essities of the government, economi-
cally administered and the promotion
of economy in all branches of the
public service
These professions embody the purest
patriotism and the loftiest aspirations
of American citizenship. though at all
times they should suggest to us the
strongest obligation to political effort,
their motive force rs incentives to pO-
litical activity and watchfulness should
be irresistible at time when the Con-
stitution is held in light esteem rs
the accomplishment ofselfish purposes,
when state boundaries are hardly
barrier to centralized power, and when
local self-government and freedom of
elections are the scott of partisanship.
Those who subscribe to the creed of
this association and make any claim to
sincerity, can hardly excuse them
selves for lack of effort, at time when
the necessities ofthe government econ
omically administered have but little
relation to taxation of the people, and
when extravaganza in the public SER
vice has become a contagious plague.
To those who hope for better things
this convention of democratic clubs is
a bright promise of reform. UnOr-
ganized good intentions, and idle and
patriotic aspirations cannot success
fully contend for mastery with the
compact forces of private interests and
greed, nor is the organization always
the most useful which has the widest
extent. The real benefit of political
organization is found in its nearness
to the people and in the directness Of
its action. Of course harmony and
unity of purpose are absolutely essen
tial.
In this view, your assembling to-
gether is most important, in 80 far as
it promotes this harmony and unity
by conference and consideration Of
methods, and in so far as it inspires
that zeal and enthusiasm which will
make more effective your work at
home.
Therefore, / am sure that can say
nothing better in taking my leave Of
you, than to wish that your cOnven-
ton may be most profitable and en-
couraging one, and that at its conclu-
sion you may resume your places in
your home organizations, newly in
spired to determined and Jealous effort
in the cause of true democracy

to Mr.. Harrison, with the possible ex'

REPUBLICAN OPPRESSION.
Rev. NJ. NJ. Pugh, Presiding
Elder Of the Clinton District
Tells How it was Done.

Bishop Hogan's published account
of his arrest by the radicals when they
ruled Missouri, for the crime Of
preaching the word of God. has
brought out from all parts Of Missouri
narratives of similar instances Of the
bene6cence of republican leaders. The
men whose protege and profitable as
sistant Warner was, did not confine
their cruel attention to the ministers
of any particular religion. Men of
all creeds, so that they did not give
the republican party precedence over
the Creator, met in q comman goal
and suffered q common punishment.
Bishop Hogan was not the only fol-
lower Of Christ who was refused the
right to teach and preach according
to his confidence.
Rev. NJ. NJ. Pugh, D. D., now pre-
siding elder of the Clinton district of
the Methodist Episcopal church
(south) was minister in charge Of the
Methodist church in Independence in
the years 1865 and 1866. During the
year the church house had been seized
as was the Independence Female Col
lege, which was the property Of that
denomination. The buildings had
been taken possession of by officials
acting under orders from the state
government.
In March, 1886, the grand jury of
jackson county, in session at indie
pendence returned an indictment
Charging Rev. Mr.. Pugh with having
preached without first taking the test
oath. The minister of God was ar
rested, taken from his home and fami-
ly into open court. There the minis-
ter gave bonds for his appearance in
the sum Of $500. The indictment
read az follows:
State Of Missouri, county Of Jack
son-in the circuit court Of said
county, March term, A. d. 1866.
The grand jurors for the state of Mis-
souri, for the body of the county Of
jackson aforesaid, upon their oaths
present that Manson NJ. Pugh, late Of
the county aforesaid, on the 4th day
of February, in the year of our Lord,
1866, was then and there q minister
and as minister az aforesaid with force
and arms at the county aforesaid un-
lawfully did preach the gospel to q
church or congregation Of people then
and there being, without him, the
said Manson NJ. Pugh, having first
taken, subscribed or fled the oath of
loyalty, he, the said Manson N. Pugh,
was then and there by the nineteenth
section of the second article of the
constitution of the state of Missouri
required to take, subscribe and file
before he, the said Manson NJ. Pugh
was competent a. q minister to preach
the gospel a. aforesaid. Contrary to
the form Of the constitution and
