Democracy's Peril.

The senatorial sugar scandal is one
of the inevitable consequences of mix
ing private BUSINESS with politics. 1t
is a lesson in the art of government
which the people of this country would
do we'll to heed.
AS soon as it is given out that the
Government is prepared to aid private
enterprises with its money or its tax
ing power a struggle begins among
those expecting or desiring favors, for
the control of legislation. Every con-
ceivable kind of pressure is prought to
bear to influence governmental policy
and political parties, in the interest of
this of that industry or business. The
object of government which, in this
country at least, is to serve all the peo-
pie without discrimination and to
guard the liberty and property of every
individual, Is lost sight of entirely or
mentioned only to ridicule it as bar
rem ideality unworthy the consideration
of sound, sensible men. In its practi-
cal workings the American Govern
ment, especially for the past thirty
years, has been used to further special
interests and procure valuable monop-
DIV privileges for few which are so
many abridgments of the rights of the
many.
1t is not possible to employ public
agencies for such purposes without
corrupting and finally destroying Delr-
ocratic institutions. The monopolies,
privileges or special advantages
granted at the inception of such pol
icy may be, as they were in this coun
try in the pursuance of an honest be-
lief that they will help the general
development and indirectly contribute
to the welfare of all. But in career
of immortality the first step is the
fatal one. The favored individual
tasting once of unearned advantages
is never satisfied short of guaranteed
privileges. vested rights. as they are
called. And to procure these he is
forced by stress of the unholy competi
tion to employ any means, fair or foul.
according to the extent to which his
cupidity has been cultivated. Per-
suasion. soon found inadequate, gives
way to bribery, which in turn yields to
the surer and more respectable method
of placing representatives of privileged
interests on the floor of legislative as
semblies.

tive feature. Mr.. Graves only capital
consisted of untiring energy. righteous
ambition, and thorough business abili-
lty, and with those he has accomplished
wonders, proving that .sfrom small
acorns great oaks grow He now owns
5000 acres of oak and pine in Butler
and Iron counties. He owns the vii
lage of Keener over in Butler County
and has attractive mercantile houses
in Des Arc and Keener carrying an ag-
gregate stock of $4,000. He had a
mill lately burned, but will rebuild,
and he takes the output of mills here
and there. At Keener, he has two
saw mills with capacity of 10000
feet of lumber per day, and plan
ing mill as we'll. At Keener, he has
about 100000 feet of lumber in
the yard, and over that amount at Des
Arc. He probably ships 100 cars a
month, and he employs not far from
800 men all around. His farm of 100
acres at Des Arc he devotes to timothy
and clover, and his home properties
show the excellent taste and progress
sive spirit of the man.
E. W. Graves was born in New York
State. In 1879 and 1880 he followed
railroading under General Joe Shelby,
and then decided to try the timber
business in this region, with the above
result. Mr.. Graves is an untiring
worker, and is hand and glove with all
that improves the country and the con-
dition of the people. He has put fer
ry on the Black River at Keener, and
there is no end to his good works.
He is in the prime of life, as genial
as the sun, and ranks with the best
business men along the line.
The first man to build mill in this
region, L. P. Fits, is still busy mill
man, and one of the most popular, by
reason Of his happy, social disposition
and gentlemanly qualities.
H. f. Homan, railway agent at Des
Arc, is another combination of excel
lent attributes. He was born in Ohio
and has been railroading about five
years, one year of which has made him
many friends in this country.
Des Arc is the home for two section
crews, and there is great deal more
to the place than one would first imag
ine
G. Tindell came five years ago to
Des Arc, and he says that before pan
icky times it was the best little town
he ever saw, and he would not change
it yet.
Mr.. Tindell has store here and
one on Black River, several miles from
and keeps two wagons roll
ing. He came to Missouri from Illi-
nois in 1865.
Samuel Weast, postmaster, black
smith and wagon maker, is equally sat
isfed, and, all in all, Des Arc is hap |
py place with a prosperous, kindly, |
and ever enterprising people.
This is good country for the seeker
of good home. He will have pleas
ant surroundings, a splendid climate, |
good soil, pure water, and as good a
class of people as ever lived In unity.

DEs ARC, IRON COUNTY, MO.
A Good Lumber Point, Backed By a
Rich Farming and Cattle Country.

| Twenty eight miles south of Ironton,
on the Iron Mountain Railway, is Des
Arc, not far from the Wayne County
line The village gained its birth
nearly quarter of century ago, and
its prosperity has depended upon the
| timber industry which is still main
factor in it's trade, but agriculture is
| making impress rapidly. From tweI-
ty to twenty-five cars of lumber are
| frequently shipped from here in a week,
and crossties are produced extensively
and barrel hoops in season.
From fifty to seventy cars are util-
lied annually for the forwarding of
cattle, and the monthly receipts for in-
coming freight approximate $3.50,
while ticket sales show the people
travel, as from $3.50 to 5000 are added
to the railroad exchecquer every four
weeks therefor.
The business men of Des Arc also ship
lumber from many other points. so the
foregoing gives no proper estimate as
to the extent of their tran sactions.
Des Arc has three substantial mer-
camille houses, hotel, restaurant and
barber shop, blacksmith and wagon
shops, two fine churches, M. E. and
Baptist respectively. and a good school
with two competent teachers.
The fact that farming land, near the
village, is worth $50 an acre shows
that some attention has been paid to
improvement and cultivation, and
along the Big Creek Valley. which
nearly joins this place, there are splen-
did farms and the agricultural acreage
is every year becoming more extern
sive.
Lands in this region are at all kinds
of prices from dollar up. Corn, oats,
wheat, timothy, clover. and miilet, all
grow grandly, and as for fruit it has
all the advantages of soil and climate.
Des Arc nestles between the hills
protected from any storm, and it is
margined by an ever-dowing crystal
like stream, and it is so healthy that it
is without a physician.
The veteran business man of Des Arc
is John M. Morris who located in 1879.
His handsome mercantile house carries
about $4,000 worth of goods and he
disposes of a dozen car loads of -four a
year.
He buys the lumber product from
numerous mills, and ships from Des
Arc, Gad's ill, Benson, and Vulcan, to
the tune of so cars a month. He sup
plies the milling settlements and pays
off at Des Arc every month. John NJ.
Morris was born in Louisa County, Vir-
ginia, and raised on a farm. He
served under Stonewall Jackson, and
Lee, and for four years did gallant SER
vice, although wounded, in many severe
battles and engagements.
In 1866 he came to Washington
County, Missouri and for dozen years
was with James L. Clarkson in the
lumber and timber business. He then
entered mercantile life with H. N.
at Williamsville for a time,
succeeding which he came to Des Arc
and has been of inestimable benefit to
this belt of country. Mr.. Morris has |
never been officially ambitious, prefer
ring to aid the public veal through |
other avenues, and is an upright, re-
fined gentleman, and a worthy son of
the mother of States

favorite candidate for United States
senator, says the Chicago Post, re-
publican leaders are casting about
for better man upon whom they can
concentrate their efforts during the
remainder Of the campaign. The
prominence given to .'Truckbill''
Cullom has already driven away a
myriad Of working men, and the
movement is rapidly assuming the
proportions Of landslide. The
stern necessity of repudiating the
Jonah confronts the party managers.
Among the names already dis
cussed n likely to win popular favor
and possibly recover the ground lost
by the killing prominence Of Mr.. Gull
lon. are Representative X. K. Hit,
Mount Morris, and Luther Latin
Mills, John M. Smyth, Colonel
George X. Davis and William T.. Ma
son. OF the gentlemen named, MIR.
Hit is clearly n favorite. Mr..
Mills is in the dark-horse
list. Colonel Davis and Mr.
Smyth are strongly and decidedly
within the vision Of practical posi-
bilities. Mr.. Smyth's friends in Chi
cago are legion and they include men
OF the greatest power in the party
councils. The mantle may yet fall
upon his shoulders.
Incredible as it may seem, and in
