Without one plea;
And was always chairman
OF some smelling committee.
Though never could smell
While he could see
A check for D.

Where many would pass,
And erected above it,

Engraved upon it's side,
And set under glass,

Sprinq Election.

The political machine for the Spring

its suppleness in all joints. Local
aspirants for political preferment are
ready TO dive into the uncertainties
of political warfare. Those offices
that have salaries attached to them
are the ones that are not going beg.

men to run for mayor and for alder.

run on the republican ticket, regard.
less Of results, some good men will
be found who will make the a c for
these places.
The republican mass meeting for
the city has been called, and evi.
dences Of life are exhibited in all the
wards. The democrats are a little
backward in coming to the front,
but as there are always ten pegs for
every hole in the democratic party,
there will no doubt be many called
eve If none are chosen.
AT present the postoflce contest Is
occupying the time, the energy and
ambition of the local democracy.
The important inquiry is: What
will an election serve me if l fail t..
get Bland?" But next to.the- middle.

A RriGda.

The building Of the wagon and
electric street bridge across the Mis-
souri, river at this place is meeting
with universal favor in this communi.
ty. 1t is believed that everybody
will interest themselves in promoting
this great enterprise. 1t means more
for Jefferson City than any thing
else could possibly mean, and this
fact seems to be generally recognized
on all sides. With a bridge and an
electric street railway across the Mis-.
souri, river at this place, the future
OF this town is assured, and no man
will thereafter hesitate to boast of the
future prosperity and greatness of
the capital of Missouri.

The ice and The Ferry.

On Sunday the weather b. mod.
e an extent that the ice
...uge began to move, but the greater
part of it re-loeged after moving a
few hundred yards down the river.
The ferry boat that had been laid up
all winter was very seriously dam.
aged by the ice. 1t was showed on
the bank and II large hole broken in
it caused by the heavy ice crushing
against it, which so disabled it that
it afterwards slid back into the river
and is now partly under wateS. Mr..
Moore at once began to remove the
machinery and will abandon the boat.
Everything of value that can be used
hereafter will be taken off and very
likely a new boat purchased. Mr..
Moore's loss is very considerable and
this misfortune indicates the unproft-
ableness OF the boat business.
The ferry was bull. about 1875 and
was purchased by Captain Joseph
Fisher and put in service at this
place. I'm 1873 it was purchased by
Mr.. Moore, who has since operated
it,. 1t WAS one OF the best boats on
the Missouri river, very large but a
little too large for the river at this
point, drawing more water than the
low stage of The river justified dur
ing the greater part of the year.
AL present passengers are taken
across the river in skiffs, to their
great discomfort. Mr.. Moore hopes
and perhaps will have by the end of
the week a small steamer, possibly
the Frederick, to do the ferrying un-
til he gets Il new boat.

CITY Politics..

Considerable interest is being mani.
tessed in the spring election. A good
board of aldermen is desired by both
parties and each side will probably
induce its best men to become can.
didates for the positions. In the
fourth ward the demand of the peo-
pie is for Adam Deeg, who seems to
be the choice of all. Adam is q
good citizen and will worthily fill the
position, If elected, and it is believ-
ed that he can be elected without
doubt. Mr.. Geo. Forth will, no doubt,
he re-nominated from the third ward.
Ii he will accept the nomination his
election is assured.
In the second ward strong pressure
is being brought upon Mr.. Julius
ConraLh to make the race. Mr..
Conrath would make an efficient coun-
Gilman, but up to date has refused to
permit the use Of his name.
The party seems to be united on
the denomination of Mayor Grim
shaw. who persistently refuses to ac-
cept the nomination, but the party
seems to heed it not and he will un.
d%oubtedly receive the unanimous
nomination Which means an endorse
ment of his stewardship for the past
two years.
There is no opposition to Mr..
Bauer for collector or w. A. Dali
meyer for treasurer.
We understand that several gen
tlenen desire to be marshal and there
is likely to be a contest over this
Office. .

A Great Big Failure.

Perhaps the greatest failure since
the j. Cook catastrophe in 1873, took
place in Philadelphia on February
the Goth. 1t was the failure of the
great Reading Railroad company.
which Las been placed in the hands
of n receiver by order of the Judge
OF the United States Supreme court.
The failure was caused by a suit In
equity filed by Senator Platt, of New
York, for failure to pay interest
on third income bonds, which were
due February the LIST. The r~eceiv-
ers appointed by the court are chief
justice of the supreme court of that
state, Judge Paxson, Mr.. McLloyd,
the former president Of the Recalling
Railroad company, and Elisha Will
bur under a bond of $500, 900. The
Reading Railroad company was the
greatest railroad corporation east of
the Mississippi river and controlled
nearly all Of the coal business Of the
east. The great consolidation oc.
Cured about a year ago and was at
that time backed by the leading
financial institution OF the United
States, j. Pierpoint Morgan syndi-
cate.
The scene In the Now York stock
exchange when the bonds went down
In value at the rate of a dollar a min.
ute, was one Of the most exciting
that has been witnessed in many
years. Five hundred brokers. each
attempting 10 be heard in the mael-
strom OF excitement was a scene long
to be remembered by the spectators
in the galleries. Fortunes wore swept
away in the short space of a few
minutes and the anxiety and desire
Of those brokers who had sold stock
10 buy, WAS not surpassed by the
great panic Of 1873. The fact that
the president Of the Reading com.
pany has been made a receiver and
that the judge of the supreme court
OF the stale, who Immediately re-
signed his position as such, Is also
one of the receivers restored conf
dence to u certain extent, but the
collapse is complete. The interest
on the third income bonds alone in
wolves over twenty-five million dol
lars OF bonds. The entire liabilities Of
The company are probably over

The Chase for PostoMce.

The democratic candidates for post.
master have been reduced to five,
The following gentlemen have given
in their names to the judges and are
now writing letters and personally
heseeching democratic support: Geo.
j. Vaughan, John f. Heinrichs, "SeqN
Ferguson, Meredith Moore and JOHN
Brakeman. Every one of them i'm.
AGNES ne is the man of destiny. As
a matter of fact, the support of the
various candidates is go divided that
it is difficult to tell who will get the
largest vote.
The fact that Mr.. Bland has not
indicated his position on the question
has in nowise lessened the interest
and the perseverance of the aspir-
ants. They are all building upon
the idea that the one who gets the
largest vote will be able to coutrol
Mr.. Bland. The result of the cleo.
ton is being watched with consider.
able interest by the republicans as
well as the democrats. The result,
let it be what it may, can not pro-
mote the interest Of the den oc ltic
party locally.
