DUTY OF NEWSPAPER MEN.

From the Sedalia Gazette.
The papers of Missouri have shown
their Interest in the subject of a
chair Of journalism in the university
of Missouri; md are slowing marlssd
favor to the Gdzette's advocacy oi
the proposal. This recognition OF
journalism in the educational sys
TEN OF our state can be secured this
winter if the newspapers will vigor-
ously agitate the matter, direct the
attention of the various representa-
tives of the people to the subject,
and organize for an appeal to the
legislature.
One effective means of impressing
the matter upon the law making
powers would be the official action
of the executive committee of the
Missouri Press Association. 1t would
encourage the friends of the move
ment who are members of the legis-
lature, and would aid in arousing
enthusiasm for the cause. Moreover,
great influence would thereby be ex-
erted in the interest of the enter
prise.
When it is made clear that a chair
of journalism will cost the tax pay
ers almost nothing, while it will add
materially to the attraction of the
university for young men seeking a
liberal education, thereby adding
each year to the roster of the insti-
tuition, there will be no objection
raised to the step. Journalism will
be dignified by the creation of such
a chair, and but short time will
elapse until this school will vie with
the schools of law and medicine in
Missouri's great university.
For a general, liberal and we'll
rounded education the course of
journalism could be made to sup
plant all other courses for the use of
young men whose future had not
been specifically decided upon. In
letters and business the man properly
prepared for journalism would be
equipped to enter any other walk of
life with possibly less special train
ing than any other general course
would give; and the ambition to thus
prepare it's students for life wouldE
laudable in any great educationa' I"
stitrtion of general learning. nd,
as before earnestly urged, it would
dignity journalism in such degree
that the charlatan would be fright
{ med from its path.

ADVERTISE THE TRUTH.

Charles Austin Bates.
Some way or other, it always
happens that the iudicious advertiser
succeeds.
Judicious means many things.
~, Some men better neves advertise
Some things better never be adver-
tised. Men who are not honest
who do not keep their promises
whose advertisement mislead and
whose stores disappoint-they had
better let advertising alone.
There is a man in New York-a
furniture dealer-who says that he
never expects to sell to the same
man twice. He uses all means to
get the best of the deal the first
time. Makes all the profit he can on
the one sale, because he knows thai
the buyer will never come back
that he will discover the cheat.
Now it wouldn't pay that man to
advertise and he knows it and he
doesn't advertise.
But fairly honest business, con-
Quoted by man who keeps pretty
close to the letter of truth, it will
always pay to advertise.
Most business men are careless in
their statements. They have be-
come 30 used to writing "biggest,"
"grandest," "greatest,n "best,"
that they can only think in superla-
tives.
They mean to be honest-probably
are. They are merely careless, and
failure is the price of carelessness in
advertising. Maybe not absolute
failure, but something very short of
success.
Every advertisement should have
careful consideration. All the dis
crepancies should be elminated-no
careless statements allowed.
If you can't take time to attend to
your advertising carefully, better cut
it down. Cut off the parasites. Cut
off novelties-programs. Out off the
paper to whom you "give a hun
dred just to get rid of ito keep it
quiet" Cut off the paper that is
too cheap to be good.
A good advertisement in the best
paper will do more good-more in
proportion TO price-than anything
else you can do. A good advertise
ment of good goods in good paper
will always pay.
Always.

ALL TOGETHER.

From the Paris Appeal.
"Behold how good and pleasant it
is for brethren to dwell to gether in
unity" At a Methodist revival at
Fulton last week music was rem
dered by choir from all the
churches, prayer was offered by the
pastor of the Christian church, the
text was read by another minister,
the sermon was preached by the
Methodist minister, and most stir
ring and eloquent invitation was
given by the pastor of the Baptist
church. Nine persons went forward
and their confessions were taken by
a Presbyterian and Baptist minister.
The meeting was held in the Pres
byterian church and SO it has been
there for month, with result of
nearly 400 additions to the various
churches. 1t pays for Christian peo-
pie to pull together. Why can't we
have such an earnest, united and
aggressive effort on the part of our
churches here in ParisY The harvest
Is truly ripe enough forit.

TAKE PART IN Politics.

From the Perry Enterprise.
The writer believes in partisan
ship, in the sense of adhering to and
working to promote the righteous
principles of ones party; we believe
in partisanship which will override
any personal differences or dislikes;
but we do not believe in the dog like
servility which makes a man violate
his own consciousness of right, and
aid in the election of men to posi-
tions of public trust whose lives,
coupled with their political success,
says to the youth of the country
"Moral rottenness is no barrier to

with 1898 is as follows: Horses, 96 pei
cent; cattle, 81 per cent; hogs, 9S pei
cent; breeding sows, 1O2 per cent. and
sheep 80 per cent. All stock have been

paratively free from contagious or in

and early winter there has been some
loss OF horses and cattle from indigestion.
This trouble was confined to no locality
but was well distributed over the state

too liberal use of corn fodder that for
some reason is not so digestible this

NEW NATIONAL PARK.
The bill creating a ma tional military
park out of the battlefield OF Shiloh
has passed both houses, and only
awaits the presidents signature to
become a law.
The bill appropriates $75 900. and
provides for a park OF 5000 aeres.
1t authorizes the Secretary Of War
to acquire possession of the land
either by condemnation or otherwise,
but provides that present occupants
may, under an arrangement with
the secretary, remain upon the pre-
misses, in which case they are to pro-
tect all landmarks either now exist
ing or to be hereafter created, The
park is to be in charge of three
commissioners, one of whom shall
have served in the Army of the
Tennessee under General Grant,
another in the Army of Ohio, under
General Buell., and the third in ihe
Army of the Mississippi, under Gen
eral A. s. Johnston. The general
purpose of the bill is set forth in
the first section and is declared to
be the preservation, on the ground
where was fought the history of
one of the most memorable battles
of the southwest, as has been done
for the armies of the east at Gettys-
burg and for those of the central
west at Chickamaugua.

MISSOURI RIVER BRIDGE.

MISSOURI RIVER BRIDGE.
In the house of representatives the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce made a report on Mr..
Bland's bill to amend the act author
izing the construction of a bridge
across the Missouri river at some
point within one mile below and one
mile above the limits of Jefferson
City. The committee makes the
letter OF the chief engineer of the
army a part of its report. He de-
clares that in his opinion there is no
objection, SO far as the interests of
navigation are concerned, to the
passage of the bill by congress.
The committee knows of no other
objection to its passage, but makes
an amendment changing the title so
as to read: "To amend an act en-
titled an act to authorize the con-
struction of bridge across the
Missouri river, at some point within
one mile below and one mile above
the present limits of the City Of
Jefferson, Mo-, approved May 2s,
1884," and with this change recon-
mends the passage Of the measure.

GENERAL SUMMARY.

iho ProBress VI events IN congress-
during the first two weeks of tn,
session affords some indication of
the probable action of the two houses
during the next. two months. The
house has thus for belied the proph
ecy that it would let the weeks drag
away without attempting to do much
except pass the appropriation bills.
The important railroad pooling bill
has been passed, and the Carlisle
Ienrreney bill is already before the
fs6tte for discnssion.' The present
prospect Is that the fate or the
currency bill may not be unlike that
of the Wilson bill. That is, there is
fair probability that the house will
pass bill substantially as desired by
the administration. Then the SEN
ate will make radical changes in it
or substitute another bill, leaving
the house and the president the
option of the senate bill or nothing.
lu the senate, apparently decisive
action has been taken upon the
"popgun" tariff bills, including the
proposition to repeal the differential
and discriminating sugar duties, and
also upon the resolution to adopt
closure rule. The Nicaragua Canal
bill is now under discussion.
The railroad pooling bill passed by
the house is accepted generally by
the country as choice of evils, a
doubtful experiment worth trying
because no less Objectionable remedy
has been suggested. In this bill, as
in the interstate commerce act, the
attitude of the country is that of
feeling its way along toward such a
measure of government control of
railways as will provide satisfactory
transportation upon terms fair to all
parties concerned. More or less
failure is to be expected during this
experimental process.
The annual meeting of civil service
reformers at Chicago last week
brought together a large and dis
tinguished gathering from all parts
of the country, and number of able
addresses were made. The most
important Of these was the long and
exhaustive report by Carl Scburz as
president of the league. President
Cleveland's greeting to the league
took the form of an order extending
the mantle of reform to cover some
1900 places in the internal revenue
servfce, heretofore treated as legiti-
mate spoils for the victors. Another
notable gathering was the conven-
tion of the Municipal Government
Reform League at Minneapolis, an
organization that is making it's
influence felt in the field of the city
In the labor world the two events
of the week were the conviction and |
sentence of Debs and his associates
at Chicago, and the convention of
the American Federation of Labor at |
Denver. The newspapers that
strongly condemned the strike and |
upheld the civil and military author
tiles in their efforts to suppress dis
order, generally approve the pro-
posed. punishment of the strike
leaders, while the newspapers and
the labor organizations that sym
pathized with the strikers condemn
the action of Judge Woods. The
Denver convention, after heated
debate, rejected the proposed politi-
cal platform modelled after that of
the English labor party. and in the
election of president put aside
Samuel Gompers for John Mcbride,
president of the united mine
workers.
