tons. Are you willing to set such a
a leader aside because the arch-dema-
gogue who sold Il state to the Republi-
cans in 1888 and accomplished his defeat
is there ready to do the same thing
over again?-Jdekoons Cash Book
We yield to no man in admiration
for Grover Cleveland, and consulting
our own desire only, no other man
should be the Democratic nominee for
President this year. Our remark
above quoted was drawn forth upon
reading the New York Sun, whose sole
idea is Hill and victory, regardless OF
principle: spoils, and spoils only, being
the consideration. For us, we would
rather fight the campaign on Demo
cratic principles and suffer temporary
defeat, than win upon the Suns condl-
tions. But we believe We can fight
upon principle, and win, too, with a
Western man, who is clear outside the
factional fights in New York, which we
are afraid will defeat us if Cleveland is
made the standard-bearer. Gov.
Boies is Democrat whose enuncia-
tions upon all the great questions of the
day have no uncertain sound; he is a
statesman, the peer of any man prom
inent in the politics of the day. With
him as our leader. we believe victory
will crown our efforts-a victory after
a contest fought upon Democratic
principles; and, as we before asserted,
we wouldn't give a thinkers d-n" for
success under other conditions. AS to
Gov. Boies being ..a recent convert
from Republicanism," we have this to
say: He has been a consistent Demo
crat for ten years at least, and cast his
fortunes with the party at time when
it was underneath-in his own State.
every Presidential year, s.snowed un-
der" a majority of eighty thousand.
He has labored earnestly for the sue
cess of the party, and in his own State
has brought it out of the wilderness
where it had wandered for many years,
beaten, forlorn, and almost without
hope. He became a Democrat when
the deadening of the glare of sectional
strife-put down by the efforts of such
men as he-permitted honest men to

did not hesitate an instant to sunder
his ties from the dominant party at a
time when in his State to do so was to
put beyond his reach all apparent
chance of political preferment. Such
a man is an honest man, with the cour-
age of his convictions land being an hon
est man and sound Democrat, he is "a
good enough Morgan for us.

DEXTER had an exciting time last
Saturday. At about five o'clock that
day, says a special to the Republic, as
City Marshal Sprinkle was conducting
a prisoner named Amos Miller from a
justices office, they were met by one of
Miller's pals, name unknown, who
.'got the DROP on the Marshal and de-
manded Miller's release. A. j. Cooper
and Thos. Toole heard loud voices, ran
out on the stair landing of the mill
with drawn revolvers and ordered the
unknown to drop his gun. Instead of
dropping it he turned the gun on them,
and general fusillade began. ToOle
had little finger shot off by the first
fire, and the second shot pierced Coop
er's heart. Sprinkle was shot three
times and will die. The unknown was
wounded in the hip. He ran into a
field and shot himself to prevent capt
ure. Miller was shot through the
wrist. He escaped and is still at liber-
ty. A large posse is in pursuit of him
and he will be lynched when captured.
He is feet tall, of light complexion
and has a weeks growth of brown
beard and had on no coat when last
seen. Cooper and Sprinkle are old set
lers here, and both were highly re-
spected by all. The town is terribly
excited.

The Ste Genevieve Herald is Jim
Hum" but his .'logic" is too tortuous
for ordinary understanding such as
can be found nowhere outside the ranks
of our friends the ProtectiOnists. To
him and to them the terms, imports
and exports, ingress and egress, are
synonymous and convertible at will.
For instance, a few weeks ago, Bro.
Ernst talked about Reciprocity s
Throwing open our pastures" to coun-
tries which might be thus induced to
open their meadows to our use. This
meant, if it meant anything, that the
United States wanted to open her ports
to countries which would reciprocate
by like action. In other words, that
Reciprocity meant free trade all around.
We called our brothers attention to the
fact that England was. under this rule,
entitled to our first consideration: that
opened wide for the entrance of our
surplus commodities, without tax or
duty. If we were going to abate the
tariff in favor of any nation, then the
English people were first entitled to be
given the benefit of the scheme. And
what does the reader suppose is Bro.
Ernst's response to the self-evident
justice of this proposition! Why, that
we exported more to England in No
vember this year than we ever did in
one month before; that the English
syndicates were coming here and buy
ing up our distilleries aud our brewer
les and our manufactures and our
lands-and in this way they were COM
gest that perhaps the fines which Pro-
lection mulcts from the consumer for
the benefit of the manufacturer would
better remain with the people who pay
them than be used to enrich the foreign
capitalists who come over to take ad-
vantage of the Home Market. But
what's the use? Bro. Ernst, with the
same breath, will swear that pauper
labor prices under free trade would
ruin our industries, and yell that Pro-
lection lowers prices and raises wages.
The fact is self-evident that the two
propositions are bound to contain at
least one falsehood; but what does Pro-
lection logic care for that? 1t proposes
to consistently stand by one rule only:
that a lie well stuck to, through thick
and thin-through good and evil report
must in the end have the virtue OF
truth.

A Hard Case and Bad Law.

1t is familiar legal aphorism that
| sshard cases. make bad law. When
the sympathies of judges sway their
| judgment, decisions are rendered which,
though satisfactory in the particular
case, make dangerous precedents. The
recent lottery decision of the United
States Supreme Court is an instance in
point.
Congress having declared that news
papers containing lottery advertise
ments should be unavailable, news
paper publisher, prosecuted for mailing
newspapers in violation of the law,
| carried his case to the Supreme Court,
and attacked the law as demonstrations
al, insisting that, inasmuch as the Fed
eral Government had received and ac-
copied from the States exclusive postal
authority, it was bound to perform
postal duties without discrimination.
Had the case presented a question of
prosecution for mailing papers contain
ing orthodox sermons or political
speeches, it is not probable that the
law would have been sustained. 1t
would have been plain in such case
Congress to carry letters and papers
regardless of the character of the in
for,no +ior oop+oipo6 II, tbo,p 1aayiou /
to the States by local laws to punish
for the publication of such as were
immoral; and the weakness of the arg
ument that by carrying immoral mail
matter the Federal Government makes
itself party to the offence, and of the
other argument that the exclusion of
Objectionable ideas from the mail is
analogous to the exclusion of reptiles
and dangerous compounds, would have
been equally plain.
But the case before the Court was, in
the meaning of the aphorism, char
case" The Louisiana Lottery was a
dangerous institution. 1t must be sup
pressed. To deny the use of the mail
to it, and to all newspapers containing
it's advertisements, was most effective
means of suppression; and to annul the
law that did this would have been to
fly in the face of popular sentiment.
So, for the sake of quickly destroying
an evil which was already dying. a
lasting precedent has been established,
which invests Congress with absolute
power over the expression of public
opinion, so far as its expression is de-
pendent upon the post Office.
Had this precedent existed forty
years ago, all the abolition literature
of that period would have been exclud-
ed from the mails. An effort to pass a
law for its exclusion was made in the
Senate, but the Senators of that day,
more mindful of constitutional limit
ations than the Supreme Court judges
of this, withheld their assent. They
were as firm in the opinion that aboli-
ton literature was pernicious as were
these judges that lottery advertise
ments are pernicious, and they were
disposed to go any length to suppress
| it; but they saw that it was subject
over which the United States Govern
ment had no more jurisdiction Indirect
ly through the postal function than it

Drs. Behring and Wernicke, as sistants and pupils of Dr. Koch, made some important statements in a medical journal here relating to the treatment of diphtheria. Dr. Behring years ago found that the blood of rats, which are never sub- ject to anthrax, possesses proper ties which, if it be introduced into the system of other animals, con- veys to them a similar immunity from the disease. This led Dr. Beh- ring to the general conclusion that the blood and serum of animals not susceptible to infectious diseases, when transfused into the bodies of other animals, renders the latter non-susceptible also. The two doc tors now say that provided there is similarity of organism between men and animals, they believe them selves to be in a position to treat diphtheria successfully by the above meth hod.-London News.

The subject of warning colors in butterflies and moths has been dis cussed by a Russian naturalist, Pootchinsky, in a treatise on Bright Marks and Ocellated Spots, and their Development" He shows the distinct manner in which the colors which attend inedibility or unpalatability are displayed by the insect when is is disturbed. He thus explains some of the cases of "shamming death," which are so we'll known to entomologists (the other cases being explained by the necessity for concealment). The fe- male of Spilosoma mendica posses ses black and yell ow legs, and when disturbed, it folds it's limbs and drops to the ground, generally tall- ing on it's back so that the contrast ed colors are displayed.-New York Independent.

At comparatively insignificant cost to the government we have learned more of Alaska's geography and topography, it's people and it's resources, in twenty-five years than Russia learned or tried to learn in one hundred and twenty-six years of possession. Our people have drawn more money and products out of the country than the Rus sian people did, and our Govern ment has received more revenue from the country than the Czar's treasury ever derived from the same source. For the twenty years pre- ceding the year 1860 the gross re- ceipts of the Russian American Company from all sources in Alas ka were about $11,00O.O0O, out of which dividends were paid amount ing to $1 100000 and $2,250,OOO to the Imperial Government in the shape of import duties on Chinese teas purchased with Alaskan turs. During the twenty years from 1870 to 1890, we drew from Alaska pro- ducts of various kinds to the value of over s6O,OOO,OOO, while the Uni ted States Government received a cash revenue of over $6,OOO,OOO.- North American Review.
