erman or Buzzard's Bay has
heard of the bread riot in New
York.
One of the worst features
of the present industrial condi-
ton of The country Is the fact that
an intelligent people voted it upon
themselves.
ALL the people want and all
hey clamor for is plenty of money
to do the business of the country,
and every dollar of it to be worth
100 cents.
Cleveland is at Buzzard's
Bay fishing for carp, but he left
Carlisle, Voorhees, and others at
Washington, to fish for suckers on
the silver question.
The Cherokee Outlet will
he opened to settlement at noon
September l6. 1t is estimated
that $4,000 people will be present
and attempt to secure either a
town lot or homestead.
The city council has done
good thing in continuing city IN
provements wherever possible or
practical. Employment for la
borers has been short this season,
Ind they haye not been able to
make any preparation for winter.
"A year ago when you saw
man out of employment, you
knew at once that he was q worth
less loafer. Now many of the most
Industrious men of the country
are compelled to bear the hu-
initiation of idleness.
ALI eyes were turned upon
Cleveland as the financial Moses
who would suggest a way out of
financial difficulties. Hepublish-
ed his message and then slipped
off to Buzzard's Bay to escape the
whitening gaze of disappointed
people.
IF National Banks were per-
mitted to issue notes Of circule-
ton to the full amount of their
bonds, it would add $4,000, 900 to
the money of the conntry at once,
and within three months perhaps
as much more. The bill should
become a law without delay.
Mr.. Carlisle has written al
letter showing that the free coin
age of silver at ratio Of 20 to l
is impracticable. Once upon q
time, when he was senator, he
made an able speech in favor Of
free coinage. How the flesh pots
of federal patronage do change
the minds Of great and national !
characters.
MIR. Cockrall's objection to
the bill allowing national banks
to issue currency to the full |
amount of their bonds, shows !
that he is out of his element |
when he undertakes to do any |
thing that requires more thought
than the distribution of garden
seeds. 1t IS time for Missouri to
keep truck-patch managers at
home,
The building Of the big
sewer north to the .. K. track has
been abandoned. for the present
because the bids were too high.
This is well as the sewer contem-
plated was not half large enough
to do the work assigned to it. Cheap
sewerage that is being done now
will cost Kirksville a large sum of
money some time in the future
The number of cords Of
wood consumed in kirksville this
winter will run up into the thous-
ands. This wood should all be
sawed by hand. A SAW that is
run by steam or horse power
should be discarded for the day
Iaborers. Every possible oppor-
tunity should be given the day Ia
borer from now on, to prepare for e
winter.
The events of last week did S
lot bring much cheer into the '
financial situation, but this week !
Indications are more favorable. 6
The large imports of gold, and I
he increased circulation OF '
rational banks are beginning to be
elt in the channels of trade. We d
