GoysRNoR FRANc1s. of Missouri

GOVERNOR FRANCIS, of Missouri,
paio tribute to local newspapers
as follows: each year the local
newspaper give from 500 to 5000
free lines TO the community in
which il is located. No other
agency can or will do this. The
editor, i'll proportion to his means,
does more for his town than any
other ten men, and in all fairness
with men he ought to be supported
not because YOU like him, or admire
his writings, but because the local
paper is the best investment a com
munity can make. 1t may not be
brilliantly edited or crowded with
thoughts, but financially it is of
more benefit to the community than
a teacher or preacher. Understand
me, | do not mean morally or intel.
lectually, but financially; and yet on
the moral question, you will find
that most of the local papers are on
the right side of the question. To,
day the editors Of the home papers
do the most for the least money Of
any men on earth"

The Growth or nn Orster.

The oyster at the commencement of
its career is so small that 1000, 900
would only occupy square inch. In
six months each individual oyster is
large enough to cover half a crown,
and in twelve months crown piece.
The oyster is its own architect, and
the shell grows as the fish inside
grows, being never too small.
1t also bears its age upon its back,
and it is as easy to tell the age of an
oyster by looking at its she'll MS it is
that of horses by looking at their
teeth. Everyone who has handled an
oyster she'll must have noticed the
successive layers overlapping each
other, These are technically termed
shots, and each one marks years
growth, 50 that by counting them the
age of the oyster can be determined.
Up TO the time of its maturity-that
is, when four years of age-the shots
are regular and successive, but after
that time they become irregular and
are piled one upon another, so that the
shell becomes bulky and thickened.
Fossil oysters have been seen of which
each shell was nine inches thick,
whence they may be guessed to be
more than 900 ears old.
One TO two million oysters are pro-
duced from a single parent, and their
scarcity is accounted tor by the fact
that man is not the only oyster-eating
animal. The artish loves the oyster
and preys upon it increasingly. A va
riety of whsik is also very fond of
young oysters, to get at which he bores
right through the she'll and sucks the
fish up through the hole thus made,

TUESDAY afternoon, July IL, as
Thomas Walker was crossing the
railroad track two miles east of his
home, Ireton, Iowa, the express on
the G. Il n. W. railroad struck his
wagon and killed one horse and
threw Mr. Walker a great distance,
breaking the back part of his skull
and his back and crushing his foot
badly. The train stopped and took
his body to Maurice. Mr.. Walker
never knew what hurt him. He was
almost instantly killed, only breath
ing few times after being taken
on the car. Mr.. Sherman, who lives
at Maurice, recognized Mr.. Walker
and fastened to bear the sad news
to his wife and three small boys.
The whole neighborhood was
stricken with sorrow. His remains
were inferred in the Lutheran GENE.
terry near his home. The funeral
services were conducted by Rev.
Gilchrist Thursday afternoon. His
family have 100 acres of land free
of debt. He was an industrious
Christian man, a regular attendant
of the U. p. church at Ireton and a
member of the Bible class.
Thomas Walker was well known
and highly respected in these parts,
having been born in Willow Springs
and grew to manhood; 10 years ago
last February he moved to Iowa
where he married Miss Lizzie
Chenall and has since resided there.
He leaves, besides his wife and
children, a mother, two sisters aud
three brothers to mourn his de-
parture, and hess of relatives and
friends who are saddened by the
news of his untimely death.
Dear friend thou hast left US,
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But it's God that has bereft us,
He can all our SORROWS heal. =

The corrupt blanket sheets of old
parties have had a great deal to say
lately about anarchy and anarchists.
They appear to have no other end in
view than to Justify howl to hear
themselves. Webster defines anarchy
as "absence of government; the
state of society where there is no
supreme law or government; politi-
cal confusion" and that of anarch.
list as an anarch; zone who advocates
anarchy or aims at the overthrow of
civil government" Now, take these
definitions of anarchist and anarchy,
and lay them alongside of the action
of Hughes, WEIGH, Douglass and his
co-laboring henchmen, Joe Hudson,
Clogston, Clevenger, and the other
leaders of Topeka and Wichita mobs
and the mutinous Kansas National
Guard and we ask, in all seriousness,
what are they? They attempted or
advised the overturning of the civil
government. They boldly attempted
or advised the bringing about of that
condition where there is can absence
of civil law" No amount of apol-
ogies or special pleadings will wash
from them the odium of severally
consorting with other anarchists to
overthrow the civil forces, and turn
loose on society blood-thirsty, ir-
responsible mob.

Is IT not about time to stop and
inquire if the American people have
any further use for Legislative
bodies {? Is not the making of laws
all farce, since laws and consti-
tutions have to be passed upon by
the courts? A constitution is not
binding until the courts have in
terpreted it. A law may mean two
or three things under court de-
cisions, the decisions usually being
rendered under political or other
kinds of bias, and made to conform
to that bias. A lawyer who would
go into court nowadays with only a
copy of the statutes would be laugh
ed at for a fool, because the statutes
are not law-Or, at least, not neces-
sarily law. Court decisions are
law or, a law is not law until the
courts have said that it is law, and
have also defined the meaning of
the law ; and perhaps it would not
be an exaggeration to say that,
after the courts have passed upon
law, the author of the law would
not be able to recognize it from the
Interpretation given it by the courts.
Is our whole system of government
likely to fail when the test of an en-.
lightened and growing civilization
is applied? Yea, verify! Consti-
tutions, Statutes, Courts-al!, are
proving so defective that, without
charge, the people can easily lose
their liberty under their present ad-
ministration.

The Republican anarchists are do
ing great deal of moralizing these
days about the duty of Americans
how sacredly they should obey the
laws and the edicts of courts how
they should labor for peace and har-
mony-how any attempt to secure,
by force, RIGHTS wREsTED FROM THE
PEOPLE BY FRAUD AND FORCE should
be resented-how they should meek
ly submit, for the time being, and
peaceably try again, ETC., ETC., etc.
Now, this is all very fine, and sounds
nice, but when courts go out of line
of all precedents to make ruling
to suit anarchists, it is certainly
time to call the courts. Govern.
ments are intended t. secure
"life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness," and when courts overthrow
these, the time has arrived to over
throw the courts and nullify laws
that rob the people of their liberty
liberty in the abstract, not license
to commit wrongs, but exemption
from injustice. We never cease
eulogizing our forefathers for disre-
gardlng English laws which robbed
and oppressed them. That resist
ance led to the declaration that
"when governments become destruc-
tive of the ends for which they
were created, the people have
right to alter or abolish them" Be-
ginning with Roger B. fancy, of
infamous memory, close scrutiny
of the PARTISAN decisions of the
courts determine that if the people
do not destroy these partisan courts,
the courts will destroy the people
Courts are presumed to protect and
preserve the liberties of the people,
but, under rulings similar to Horton
Johnson's, liberty, ere long, will be
nothing but memory.

HUDsON's MARES NEST.

Joe Hudson, OF the Topeka Capl'
tai, the champion all-around liar and
anarchist, undertook to make the
people believe that Gov. Lewelling,
his private secretary, Fred Close,
AttorneyGeneral Little and Jas. F.
Legate were mixed up with the pol
icy shops lotteries of Kansas City,
Kansas. Hudson claimed that the
above-named men had received the
sum of 800 from the manager of
the policy shops as bride to allow
the shops to run undisturbed But
the lie has been nailed by Legate,
who wrote denial to Hudson, ex-
onerating Gov. Lewelling, Fred
Close and Acknowledgement Little /;
but Hudson (dirty, sneaking cur
that he isl would not publish the
denial. Among other things, Leg
ate says:
"To ease your troubled mind, let
me say to you that that statement
is an open, plain falsehood. l re
ceived draft from P. w. Kline for
$4,000 before the Legislature met,
and l did receive 81, 500 from him
since, and if any man on earth knew
of it, they were good mind-readels
The money was spent just as de-
signed, and accomplished It's mis-
sion; but that any person, high or
low, whether he be state official or
lawyer, had any part in that trans
action, is an absolute lie. The
money was not spent as corrupt
ing influence to any official, in or
out of the state of Kansas. | never
asked the Governor or any one else
to appoint any one as commissioner
for Kansas City, Kas., except the
senator and the two Populist mem
bers from that county, whom did
ask to recommend Geo. Fl. Miller,
who is too we'll known in the state
to be charged with any collision
with gamblers or whisky rings.
81 have known Attorney-General
Little for years, and know him too
well to approach him with a sugges-
ton of corrupt influence, and never
did, directly or indirectly. And
the same is equally true of the Gov
ernor and Mr.. Close, or with any
other official of the state. If the
legislature or you desire an investi-
CATION, | will be present at any time;
but desire that investigation shall
be broad enough to cover expendi-
lures of money upon the legislature.
Then l think you will have bitten
off more than You can 'chaw'."
