Will Not Close ANY Institutions.
The meeting of the representatives of

institutions was brought to a close yes
terday afternoon. The gathering WAS an
informal one from first to last, and no
definite action was taken by the men as
q body, but after q general discussion of
the matter from all sides, it was decided
that with care in expenditure none of the
institutions need be closed, but that all
OF them might be kept up with a little
less outlay all along the line. It is said
a number of the representatives were
disposed to consider the financial trouble
as overdrawn, and inclined to criticise
Attorney General Standish and Auditor
Porter, for their publications OF the
statement as to an altogether depleted
state treasury, as it was said to be un-
necessary, and harmful to the states
credit.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-It is

Judge Bradley has been the re-
cipient since the commencement of
this trial of an unusually large cor
respondence, all concerning the case.
Many letters come from religious
people, urging him in the interests
of the morals of the community to
exclude newspaper reporters from
the court, which he says is not in
his power to exercise. One missive
which has caused the Judge to
smile was signed by a woman mem
ber of the bar, and suggested that
since he had excluded all women
from the court when Miss Pollard
gave her testimony, the men should
be debarred aud the women admit
ted when Colonel Breckinridge takes
the stand.

TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION.
Proposition TO Increase the Discre'

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 21.-
The question of amending the Con.
stitution of the United States so as
to give the President the right to
veto items of appropriation bills has
long been one that many members
of Congress have given considerable
thought to. 1t is we'll known that
frequently the Chief Executive finds
provisions in these bills that are OBJ
jectionable to him, yet rather than
sacrifice the numerous items which
would result from a veto be signs the
bills and they become laws as a
whole. Fruitless efforts have been
made to remedy this unsatisfactory
condition of affairs, and in this Con-
gress another attempt will be made.
Representative DeArmond of Mis-
souri, has introduced in the House
a resolution amending the Constr
tuition so as to empower the Presi-
dent to veto any one or more items
of appropriations.

A New nepot Sure Enough.

The Mexico correspondent to the
Vandalia Leader says: l don't
know just how it will strike the
Mexico people, but she is almost
certain to have another depot. II
will be located in Highland and
owned by the G. & A. The com
pany proposes to straighten its track
by smoothing out the curves between
Littleby and point west of Mexico.
This would make the road run
through North Highland. By SO
doing, one mile is saved and that
means much to railroad in these
days of rapid transit. The C. & A.
has discovered that they are paying
the Wabash more rent than it would
cost to maintain depot of their
own; and another thing, they can't
preserve their individuality by being
dependent upon the Wabash.

" Ills True, Ills Plty.''


Almost every town in Missouri is
now worried over the election of city
officers. 1t so happens that city
government is the most unsatisfac-
tory known to our laws in this coun-
try. This is largely due TO the fact
that business men and citizens of
character, fearful lest their activity
at such times would make against
their business prospects, quietly re-
fuse to take any part in the selection
of officers and turn over this duty to
irresponsible voters and often to the
lawless rabble. 1t ought not to be
so. Such course is founded on a
false notion of a mans duty to his
own family and his own business.
1t is a species OF moral cowardice,
and unless men awake to the i'm
portance of their duty in such things,
twoeful result await their boys in
marx, cases.

TWO WORTHY OLD PEOPLE.
Baniei Enjoy Birthday
Dinner.
From the Wand ALA Leader

From the Vandaiia Leader.
Uncle Aaron McPike and Esquire
A. B. Daniel were rendered a birth
day dinner last Friday at the home
of Hon. c. G. Daniel in this city at
which many friends paid thei- re-
spects to this aged couple and sheir
wives. Uncle Aaron is now 70 years
old and Mr.. Daniel 81. Both are
comparatively hearty and hale in
health, ,and bid fair to celebrate many
more such occasions. Mr.. Daniel
has led an active life and has a
bright and shining record in well
doing. No man perhaps in this part
of the state has been more useful
than Uncle Aaron McPike. He has
been first in all the enterprises tend
ing to develop this part of the coun-
try, and in his old age has the
esteem and confidence of all who
know him. His purse has ever been
open to the calls of charity and many
widows and orphans-in this and
other communities-can testify that
he has been a stay to them at times
when the cold world seemed to have
forgotten them. Such men deserve
to live to good old age, as their
many acts of kindness to the deserv-
ing poor, is constant reminder to
the young of how the Christian
character is embellished and made
to shine as the years roll on.
This community joins the Leader
in the wish and hope that many
more occasions like this are in store
for these worthy old people ere the
Great Summons shall call them to
their reward,
