GROVER CLEVELAND is going to
consult with the people of st. Louis
in reference to who shall be Survey
or OF the Port. A primary election
might be ordered so that the people
could have an opportunity to express
themselves on this matter. The pri-
mary election plan should not be
confined to postmasters. If it is to
be adopted at all let it cover all the
appointments.

CoNGREssMEN of the United States
should be happy when it is thorough
ly understood hat Cleveland is 60
ing to make the appointments. In
this way members of Congress can
devote their time to the duties of
their office, and by the way, a large
number of them will stand a great

if they had to fool with and farm

Missouri Press Al Association.

The members of the Missouri Press
Association held a most successful
meeting in the Office of the Columbia
Herald at Columbia, Mo-, last week.
This was a practical business meet
ing and those who were present re-
ceived and impaired ideas of great
benefit to the profession. There
were no set speeches, no longpapers,
but short talks on questions of prac-
teal Importance. Tie meeting was
held in the business office Of the
Columbia Herald building, one of
the most complete printing offices
in the United States. This building
was built especially for a model office
and is surely complete in every par
ticular and reflects great credit on
E. w. Stephens, owner ofthe plant.
On the evening of the last day Of
the meeting the members of the As
ISOLATION were, %banqusted in the bin
derry of the establishment, with Wal
ter Williams, editor of the Herald,
as POSTMASTER. The large room was
Hastily decorated and the spread was
one greatly enjoyed by all present,
caterers from st. Louis having it in
charge. The banquet was a fit clos
ing of such a successful meeting and
lasted from six p. m. to eleven p. m,
when a special train took the visi-
tors from Columbia to Centralia to
make railroad connections. Quite a
number of toasts were responded to
in an eloquent manner and the &C.
casion was truly a feast of reason
and a flow of soul. The newspaper
men of Columbia and its citizens
are among the most hospitable in
the country and make all who visit
that beautiful little eityfeel at home.
The members of this Association,
who have attended its meetings for
years, pronounce the one at Column
bia the most pleasant, practical and
successful ever held in its history.
During the meeting at the Herald
Office the machinery in every de-
partment of that perfectly equipped
establishment, together with nearly |
100 hands, were continuously at
work in the various departments,
presenting an eloquent object lesson,
viii always be remembered
by those present. Mesdames E. w.
and Walter Williams con-
tributed much toward the enjoyment
of all in attendance at the meeting.

THERE is no question but that
there should be a law against va
grancy but the law now on the stat
ute books of Missouri we think
ought to be reappealed. The idea of
''selling a man. for any length of
time is a relic of times which have
forever passed away in this country.
Migrants should be put upon the
streets or rock pile to work and not
sold to the highest bidder. The
enforcement of the law is proper
and correct. The best way to have
a bad law repealed is to enforce it..

WHEN asked by a Tacoma reporter
whether there would be any tariff legis-
lation this session, Vice President Ste
phenson replied, "A twelve pound tur-
key requires two hours and forty-live
minutes to roast properly" Perhaps
this diplomatic speech was caused by
force of habit, for the vice president is u
very shre~d politician and is accus-
toned to avoid the things which he
cannot state with absolute certainty,
We believe, however, that he would
have been entirely safe in saying that
there would be no tariff legislation I'M
til after tho discussion of silver which is
likely to consume all tho time of the ey-
ira session. At the regular session we
look for such tariff legislation as will
make twelve pound turkeys more fro
quent ~iuxuries in the homes of working
men.

TIRE convention Of tho bi-metallit
league Mt Chicago was n great
success. 1t was doubtless the
largest gathering w known IN any
country for the discussion OF II financial
policy. There was a little Of that sort
Of talk which goldbug newspapers call
'incendiarism," but a great deal oil
truth telling. Tho rights Of silver were
nailed with sledge hammer blows.
The great benefit Of this gathering will
be the awakening of the eastern mind
10 the strength of free coinage sentiment
outside the mining states, while con
gress, which meets next week, canno t
fail 10 be impressed by a movement
which called forth this remarkable gath
ering Of delegates from so many classes
and Industries. Mine owners miners,
agriculturists and Knights OF Labor
united allegiance to the cause through
eloquent representatives and the enthu-
siasm was such as to inspire every
friend Of the metal with the hope that
congress may furnish a solution to
present troubles by the passage Of a
free coinage bill. Whether this happens
or not, it is certain that the Sherman
bill cannot be repealed without a sub
stitute. Filabustering tactics, if neces-
sary, will be used to delay the repeal OF
this bill until congressman learn that
they are to vote according to the wishes
of their constituents and not of the
clique Of goldbug bankers. The Chi
cago% convention set the right pace, but
a great deal Of work Is to DO done at
Washington. Several distinguished
Montanians, including Gov. Richards,
are there now to lead the cause before
congress. 1t is going to be a long fight,
and it will be necessary to send other
representatives Of this state to relieve
those now at work. Funds will also be
needed, and for this and other work the
Free Coinage association of Montana is
expected to devote its best energies IN
til the end is reached,
