The Missouri Legislature is now
spending portion of it's valuable
time resOluting on its members using
railroad free passes. Referring to
this matter the Post-D Dispatch says:
The session OF the House opened
this mnrning with an animated dis
cussion preeipitated by q resolution
offered by Representative Killam of
Lincoln county, referring to articles
in several newspapers charging the
members with having accepted free
passes from the railroads. The res
olution called for the appointment
of an investigating committee with
full power to send for persons and
papers. A shower Of amendments
came from all parts of the hall with
the object OF loading it down and
killing off the proposed investiga-
ton. An hour was spent in wrangle
and confusion following which the
resolution was laid over until to-
morrow.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1893-03-09

We understand that some men,
bers of the Legislature refuse to re-
peal the law prohibiting the use OF
the history of Missouri as a text
book in the public schools of the
state on the ground that too much
money is now spent for school
books. The Legislature from this
standpoint might pass a law against
those who wish to buy Bibles for
their own use because they were
already spending too much money
for school books provided for them
by the text book commission. The
history of Missouri should be taught
in all our public schools. A law
prohibiting this is absurd, an out
rage, a disgrace to the state of Mis-
souri, and to the Legislature.

GOVERNOR STONE ROBBED.
The Missouri Executive Mansion Clean

JEFFERSON CRY, Mo-, March A.
Some time last night burglars broke
into the executive mansion and help
ed themselves to Governor stones
gold watch and chain, So in money
and three rings, the property of Miss
Turner, the niece of the Governor.
The burglars roamed through
the mansion at will. They over
looked considerable valuable per-
sonal property, but RECALLED them
selves with a bottle of wine found in
the dining-room.
Nothing was known of the robbery
until the family arose this morning
when the front and side doors of the
mansion were found open. This led
to an investigation and then the
loss of the property was found.

JEFFERSON CITY JOTTINGS.
A Lively Fight In the House Over the
Railway Pass Matter.
Correspondents of the Ledger

correspondence u tue LeuBer
JEFFERSON Cry, Mo-, March s.
A lively fight was brought on this
morning in the House by MIR. Kill
lam, of Lincoln county, who intro
duced a resolution instructing the
speaker to appoint a committee of
five with authority to send for per-
sons and papers to investigate and
learn how many members were rid
ing on railroad passes.
Moore, of Laclede, offered a
speech in which he declared the
resolution mere tomfoolery and
moved to lay it on the table. On a
roll call the motion was lost by a vote
of SO to 10.
Bond, of st. Louis, moved to
amend by adding all state officials.
Carried. Russell, of Crawford, offer
ed an amendment to include the
county officers, which was agreed to
by a vote of IS ayes to 40 noes. By
this time the friends of the original
resolution began to get angry for it
was evident that the opposition meant
to kill it by lacking on amendments.
Messrs. Hayes, Killam and Medley
asked that the members face the
music and show whether they were
riding on passes. Hayes moved to
amend by instructing the committee
to investigate members of the AS
sembly first and report within ten
days.
In the Senate the most important
measure passed was an act repeal
ing township organizations.
The House passed the Fireman's
bill, which gives cities authority to
pension disabled fireman if they SO
desire.
From this time on until the close
business will be pushed as rapidly
as possible. The Killam railroad
pass resolution that was up yester-
day went over until to-day on ac-
count of expiration Of morning hour.

ing organizations of the second grand DIVISION
from passing
Col. William Dickson, chief marshal of the
division and the members of his stan. were
disoreanized by the mob and for q while IL
looked as II the forces would trample down
some of the too curious soldiers. Fortunately.
however, the police succeeded in clearing she
line OF march, and In so doing arrested a sol
der for alleged disorderly conduct. The po-
iicemen started with their prisoner on a run
for a neighboring potrol wagon, When the
comrades of the arrested mar saw him in the
custody Of the officers they made q rush as II
to attempt Il rescue. II looked for a few
minutes as though q formidable riot was fmmf-
neut, but the determined action of q number of
policemen in keeping back the crowd and the
intervening lines OF organizations that were
passing. prevented any serious consequences
and the prisoner was whisked on to the station.
Gen. Josiah Porter, adiutant general Of the
national guard of the state of New York, with
O mounted stan, rode OF the head of the second
grand division. One of the features OF the pa
rade was the Tammany hall society of New
York. Gov. Flower and stan, who rode in car.
riages, were enthusiastically cheered all along
the line. When the governor reached the press
stand he responded 10 the applause which
greeted him by rising in his carriage, lifting
his hat and bowling a number of times. Again,
as he passed the presidential stand, he stood
erect in his carriage and bowed to the presf-
dent.
Then came the assembly district organiza-
tions headed by their respective chiefs. No
one who witnessed the marching Of the power
full Tammany society In review before Presf-
dent Cleveland yesterday could entertain any
reasonable doubts of the sincerity of their re.
~spective greetings. When the last Of the district
organizations had passed they turned about
and made a rush for the presidential stand.
A thousand more crowded around it, and with
the greatest enthusiasm eheered him roundly.
A squad of mounted police, however, soon had
the way clear and the procession again moved
forward
Chicago was represented by the Iroquois club
and the County Democratic Marching club.
The I~roQuois had with them the famous Pull,
man band.
The shadows of night were beginning to fall
when the Cleveland Democratic club of Buffalo
passed the stand. Marching proud and erect,
with their uniform black top coats and silk
hats, they made an appearance that did credit
to the presidents home. Every head was barred
rs the contingent went by to the strains of
Annie Laurie"
TIL members of the Duckworth club of Gin.
of regulars, and the members of the Young
Mems Democratic club of New York brought
their umbrellas to military attention and sa.
luted the president as they went by the stand.
An express cart bearing a nfe-stZed repre-.
sentation in wax of the starred goddess, then
passed.
1t was exactly 7 O'Clock when the last rank
went by, and disbanded in front OF the army
department. so that the parade had occupied
but ten minutes short of five hours in passing
the reviewing stand.

FRANCIS In WASHINGTON.
Missouri's Ex-Governor Doesn't Want
Anything-He Has Not Been
Sent for.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March g.
Gov. David R. Francis arrived this
morning from St. Louis. He
breakfasted at the Willard with Col.
J. Grit Prather. Mr.. Francis said i:
81 see by the newspapers that
there has been some inquiry as to
what I wanted You can say l
don't want anything. I am here on
my way to New York; shall leave
tomorrow. If there is opportunity
I shall see Mr.. Cleveland, but 1 have
not been sent for, and am not ask
ing for anything"
Something was suggested about
the talk of a diplomatic place in
connection with his name. Francis
replied:
"Well, l am not declining any
thing, for nothing has been offered
me. l haven't any desire to go out
of the country, and don't expect to
CO."
Mr.. Francis pleads entire ignor-
ance of the matter, but from all
sources it is learned that he will be
asked to take one of the best places
in the diplomatic service, probably,
as previously mentioned, the French
mission. There is a difference of
opinion among Mr.. Francis friends
as to whether he will accept. Some
think he will ; others say his varied
interests will forbid. One thing is
certain, and that is the ext Governor
is not seeking anything, and is not
countenancing any movement on
the part of his friends. II The is ask
ed to become a foreign Minister the
suggestion win be entirely that Of
President Cleveland.

a wind that sent ehills into the crowds. But no

The wait for the dfgnitaries to arrive and the
ceremonies to begin was long and tedious. The
inclemeney of the weather delayed the pro.
ceedings of the day to a great extent and
caused the entire omission Of small parts OF
the programme. But finally the patience
of the crowd was rewarded. Not long
before noon the murmer of expectation
that passed through the crowd increased as
the party approached the capitol The murrnur
increased as the first men of the land drew
nearer. and grew and swelled at last into a
mighty uproar as they stopped before the plat
form. With a heroism characteristic of the
man. Mr.. Cleveland had determined to be in.
