THE RRANCH COURT Bill.

While the INTELLIGENCER has BIT
terly opposed the branch court scheme,
iJ has not done so because it is a Lex
ington publication and has fears OF any
injury to this town. The court might
result in taking away about fifty dollars
from Lexington and giving that mucn
to the town over at the cross roads, and
that would possibly be the maximum OIL
loss to one and profit to the other. ms
small amount is not worth considering.
But there are features that are worthy
of consideration.
Parties are still stalking over the
county securing names to a petition
praying for the establishment Of the
branch court and wilfully misrepre-
senting the facts in the case.
One of these Misrepresentation is
that there will be no additional expense
to be met by the taxpayers, Higgins
vile, they say, will give bond that it
will pay rentals and other expenses.
This is absurd. Higginsville cannot
give any such bond. There is no au-
thority in its charter for any such pro-
ceeding, and any pretended action in
this direction would be illegal and of no
effect whatever. Such a bond wouldn't
be worth the paper it was written upon.
Moreover the state of Missouri has no
authority under its constitution to make
u compact with any town corporation,
by which said corporation can be COM
PEELED to pay rents on county court
houses. That part of the bill in which
IIigginsville agrees to pay for a court
room, offices, etc, is clearly a nullity
and will prove non-etfective.
While it might be that the people over
there might even for several years pay
this rent, they could not be compelled to
do 50 if,an objection was raised, and any
taxpayer could refuse to pay his tax if
levied for an unlawful purpose.
The bill having passed the lower
house, which is composed largely of
unthinking logrollers, has gone to the
senate. Here it is hoped there will be a
common sense examination of the bill.
This will of coarse be fatal to it and tine
taxpayers of this county already yer
burdened will be saved an additional
load 70 carry.

R0ARn 0F TRADE.

The Lexington Board of Trade is at
work in earnest, and, as was said;months
ago, since it has got down to business
finds much earnest work to do.
Every day it becomes more evident
that the work that is to make Lexington
what it should be is of that persistent,
earnest kind that is not only evolving
new ideas, incubating new plans, but
putting them into active execution.
just now a score OF things are claim
ing attention and knocking at the door
of the city's future and demanding adj
mittance.
First among all our needs, and not
unattainable, is a railroad and wagon
bridge across the Missouri rivera
wagon bridge that we may be connected
with the people of Ray county by
means Of a free highway; a railroad
bridge that we may have railroad con-
nection with all the countries and cities
beyond the river, and not be dependent
on the uncertainties of ferry boats, row
boats and ice gorges.
Then we want a change Of time of the
trains on the Boonvlle branch. A
change that will bring people here in
the morning instead of late in the after
noon.
We want a railroad to MAYHEM and
one to Odessa, that people living in
those sections may have easy access to
the county seat.I
Then there lis the new Kansas City
and st. Louis short line, o to be
built, and to run through this county.
Bring it to Lexington.
A serious question is our system of
public highways. How badly we need
good wagon roads leading into Lexing-
ton. Every one of these should have
leading considerations little money,
yes m~oney-hard cash-the god of the
rich-the idol of the middle classes and
the necessity of the poor-should be
subscribed to each of these roads and
their Improvement secured.
More life, vigor, more thrift and en-
terprise must be infused into all, The
result will be magical. The Board of
Trade is working to this end, get up and
help it work. 1t meets every Friday
evening. 1t is doing the best it can, at
tend its meetings, help it along with
money and advice.

There has been and still is a serious
defect in public spiritedness among bus
mess men in Lexington. While a few
business firms advertise literally, and
always keep their names and their goods
prominently before the people, the ma
jorIty are never heard Of. Out Of a hall
score or more grocery houses only N OF
two is represented in the advertising
columns Of the paper. There are -four
banks. All big Institutions, but only
two advertise to announce that they are
here. There are factories, clothing
stores, mills, coal companies, meat
shops, laundry and scores Of businesses
here that never are advertised or talked
about. All to their own detriment and
that of the town. The great majority

HONOLULU. THE CROSSROADS OF THE
NORTH PACIFIC.

The essential public interest attaching
to Hawaii grows put of its central position
in the of the Pacific ocean.
Honolulu is exactly in the track OF all
steamers sailing to Australasia from San
Francisco or Puget Sound. The trade on
this line is between kindred peoples now
only in the gristle, but already includes
one Isne of monthly steamers, with other
lines in the early prospect. What will
this traffic become when the two or three
millions of English speaking on either
coast shall have multiplied many fold?
Even more precisely is Honolulu in the
direct route of n part of that enormous
traffic from Atlantic to Pacific ports
which eagerly awaits the cutting of the
Nicaragua Ship Canal, to burst in an inn
petous tide through the Isthmus. All the
trade with China and Japan from Ameri-
can ports on the Atlantic must take the
Nicaragua route. 1t is this large move
ment of ocean m impending in
in the immediate future, which lends the
most seriouf importance to the political
relations of the Hawaiian kingdom.
Every ship from the Atlantic crossing the
Pacific to Asia will naturally sight the
Hawaiian Islands, and every steamer will
be likely to replenish her coal bunkers at
Honolulu. This fact will render the po-
litical condition and international rela-
tions of Hawaii of Experimentation

view of Reviews.

KEEPING FRIENDS.
The Art Lies In Judging Not From One
Act But From the knowledge OF Years.

The Art Lies In Judging Not From One
Act But From the knowledge OF Years.
The art of making friends, like the
art of making money, is a common gift
distributed by the fairies with liber-
atty to the children of men. But the
art of keeping friends, like the art of
keeping money, is a very rare gift. To
keep friends is a fine art To be able
to hold the ideal while perceiving the
humanity of a friend; to be patient with
the mistakes Of to-day because of the
wisdom Of yesterday, which forecasts
wisdom for Tomorrow; to tolerate
moods; to sink ones very love out of
sight for the moment rather than have
it shocked or disturbed by surface cor
ditions, requires rare self-controL Yet
the one who possesses the art of
keeping friends does all this. The
cause of the severance of friendship is
sometimes so superficial as to be child
ish. The action of the moment often
obliterates, even when it ~contradicts,
the knowledge of years. Impatience
and selfishness are responsible for much
of the loss of happiness that necessarily
results where friendly relations have
been disturbed.
Too often there Is a surface appear
ance of intimacy, where a foundation is
lacking TO justify this appearance.
Words of endearment are utoo often
counterfeit coins. A nature of integrity
is very apt to lose faith when once con-
fidence has been shaken. and the result
is that from observing deceitful atti-

gins to doubt the integrity of those
whom he holds dear.
Friendship is a dear and precious gift
the one that most ministers to life;
without it life is barren. Two condi-
tions are necessary for its preservation
Truth and Faith. Very often a little
forbearance would preserve that which
is often held too lightly. Said a wise
woman one morning, discussing the
cloud nc larger than a mans hand that
had arisen between herself and her
friend, 81 tell you the trouble is that
the doing of n wrong thing often
wipes out the record of the ninety-and
nine right ones. That is the difference
between God and man. What we should
do is. not to draw our conclusions from
the one act, but from the knowledge of
years. That would not only be right
eous but natural" 1t is not the sudden
freak of nature that scientists accept
as natural; they draw their conclusions
from governing laws; and so it is with
human beings-all move in obedience
to the law of their being, and that
which arouses the a~ntagonism of the
moment is not the result of those laws,
but the result of q sudden disturbance
which a little patience would enable us
to understand and often ~forget-Chris-

RUGBY OR ASSOCIATION.

Football as 1t Is Played In England and
Scotland.
Pluck, dash, and resolution are all
essentials to successful play, and in no
other game are these desirable quail
ties to be more readily acquired. There
is also a spice of danger such as is to be
found in almost every British sport,
old or new. 1t is a matter of frequent
question as to which of the two great
codes-Rugby or Associations the
rougher and the cause of the greater
number of accidents. The votaries of
the one will be found, as a rule, to pro-
nouncea against each other, while those
who have never had an active share in
either generally assume the dribbling
game to be the less violent, q decision
which in many cases is due to the fact
that Rugby football was in times past a
decidedly barbarous pastime, with its
hacking over, shining, and tripping,
whereof the tradition has survived the
prohibition.
OF the two games, however, there can
be little question that Association lends
itself the more readily to intentional
rough play. Now such i'll behavior is
oCPiOidplC, IL oniy beCduSc IL Is entlTGly
contrary to the spirit of the game, but
unfortunately it is not unknown, ever
at schools. An unpopular player will
often be marked and gone for"
without sufficient occasion, and in the
event of brutality, thus introduced, is
certain to spread unless properly
checked
In school football this faint is usual.
ly confined to such events as house
matches, where party spirit runs high,
and the players are urged on by the
shouts of excited spectators. 1t also
not uncommonly shows itself in the an
nual encounters between two rival
schools among the professional clubs ia
the north of England and the Midlands
this Objectionable form of roughness-
which is entirely the fault of the play
or, and in no way countenanced, much
less encouraged, by the game-has
gradually attained formidable dimen-
sions.
The magnitude of league and cup
competitions has so increased that an
ordinary match (which has come to be
known as q friendly game") is almost
a rare occurrence. Spectators assemble
in tens of thousands to howl them
selves hoarse over their respective
champions, and as much money changes
hands over the result as over a local
race meeting. The players themselves
are mostly professionals, whose salary
and bonuses" depend entirely on their
prowess, and though in Scotland pro-
f~essionalism is still nominally forbid
den, the conditions there are very little
different from those that prevail in Eng
land. The same is also the case with
Rugby football in the north, where
professionalism can not remain much
longer unveiled. Even in the south of
England. where amateurism is still
prevalent, the large majority of the
players belong to the rougher classes,
and are on occasions sadly deficient in
sportsmanlike behavior. Saturday Re-
view.

tract Of an address by Mr.. ii. S.Foxwell

others.
Mr.. Foxwell called attention to the
fact that up to 1873 when a general de-
monetization of silver took place there
had never been any difficulty in MAIN
tanning q parity Of values between silver
and gold. Also, that since that time
there had been a depressing stringency
in the money supply, that products and
wages had steadily fallen and the value
of money increased. The fall in value
ma said, had been 50 per cent, the in
