The southern Democrats i'm the
House are making u determined
fight to secure the repeal of the tax
on State Bank notes. The debate
has been going on all this week
aud will probably continue for a
week or ten days longer, the uu-
acted upon appropriation bills hav-
ing been temporarily laid aside.
The result is in doubt, depending,
many believe, on the attendance
when the vote is taken. If the at.
tendance exceeds $50 the probabili.
ties are that repeal will he defeated
as the largest claim made by the
friends OF repeal is 40 votes. But
inasmuch as those who favor tho
repeal Of the tax are more interest
ed in securing it than those whC
oppose 1t are in preventing it, tn,
chances are in favor Of the repealerl
mastering their full strength or
the floor Of the House when tn,
time comes TO vote and winning, il
they can get the 140 votes claimed
Some very interesting and instruc
tive speeches have been made by
Democrats both for and against re-
peal. The Republicans have no
up TO this time taken a consplcuou,
part in the debate, although they
are solidly opposed to repeal. Rep
lescntative Black, OF Georgia, made
strong and bold speech in favor
Of repeal, in which he took the
ground that the general government
had no right under the Constitu-
ton TO impose such a tax, and sta
ted his belief that the U. S. Su-
preme Court had no more right tC
bind the action Of the House thar
the House had to bind the Supreme
Court.

and to the United States. She dis
trusted the attitude of European pow
ers during the late insurrection, more
especially as Mello's cause was asso-
ciated, in popular surmise, with the
revival of monarchy. She was prompt
to recognize the jealous vigilance OF
the American people in that crisis Of
her fate, and her reliance on the Mon
roe doctrine as a source of protection
against possible dangers was frankly
expressed. Summer is not season in

Senator Vest Mad.

| In answer to communication from
Joseph Speyer of Kansas City in re.
gard to the latter's application for a
consulate, Senator Vest is reported to
have replied by letter and made the
following, among other statements:
After the president gave me distinct
ly to understand that he did not desire
my advice in regard to appointments
in Missouri. it was simply impossible
for me, without forfeiting Ey self-re-
spect, to approach him upon that sub
ject. l have no apologies to make to
anyone for declining to ask favors from
this administration, and if you or any
one else chooses to ascribe motives to
me which do not exist, have no re-
course except to leave the matter where
it is. When Mr.. Cleveland deliberate
ly made appointments at Kansas City
which no one in our delegation had
recommended, and did SO in the most
offensive manner, ! made up my mind
to leave public life rather than to sac
rifice my self-respect by approaching
him upon the subject of patronage.
No one will feel disposed to criticise
Senator Vest for not offering his advice
when it is wanted, and it is matter of
regret that Mr.. Cleveland pursued the
policy referred to in regard to the
Kansas City appointments. While
constantly discrediting politicians and
ofice-seekers generally, Mr.. Cleveland
seems to forget that he is himself a
politician and has been a constant Of
fice-seeker since 1866. A fair inquiry
ought to satisfy Mr.. Cleveland that he
has been quite as persistent an Office
seekers himself as any prominent man
in the country, and if such men are to
be discredited he must be counted in
with the rest.
Every genuine Democrat in Missouri
believes that the federal Offices should
be in the hands of deserving Democrats
and not distributed to political eunuchs
and men who consider themselves too
good to work for the Democratic party
This doctrine applies just as much to
the employment of deputy postmasters,
deputy marshals, ETC., as to more i'm
portant offices to be filled by the pres
ident. Men who are too good to stand
with the rank and Ele of the Demo-
cratic party election days have no
business Occupvinp room at the ME
counter when Democratic lunch is be- |
ing distributed. Senator Vest is right |
about this matter. - Jefferson City

"Let's go fishin'."
Uest the very thing, you see,
Fer which I'd been a-wishin'!)
So, got my tackle up
Bait enough fer twenty;
Hand in hand, acrost the land,
Went where fish was plenty.
But the huneysuckles dangled,
An we heard tbe blossoms fall;
An somehow, the lines got tangled
An we couldn't fish at all!
An so, we let the tackle go
Fergot about the bait;
An l told her that / loved her
An that all the fish could wait!
An there l won her for my wife
