an S-column folio into a 6-column
quarto.

last week enlarged to six column
quarto: brim full of news: clean spicy
and bright. A first-class paper. put
ting on city airs.
DeSoto Facts: The Cape Girardeau
DEMOCRAT comes to us this week in a
much improved condition. as far as
appearance is concerned. 1t is now a
six column quarto. just the size of
the Facts. The Democrat is a staunch
Republican paper and We are pleased
to see it succeeding.
Dunklin County Democrat: That
misnomer. the Cape Girardeau DEMO
Graf, the official organ Of the Repub-
lican party of that county is out in
new and improved form, in pretty
dress OF new type, is printed on new
power press and it is understood that
the paper is backed up by the wealth
of the leading Republicans up there.
Poplar Bluff Republican: With a
complete new dress, changed in form
from an S-column folio to q 6-column
quarto and replete with good reading
matter, is the condition in which the
Cape Girardeau DEMOCRAT cohes to
us this week. This is the result of the
new outfit and press recently put in by
Editor Adams. The DEMOCRAT is now
one of the handsomest papers in the
State and is a credit to Bro. Adams
and the people of Cape Girardeau,
whose liberal patronage made its pro-
duction possible.

Who Got the doodle.

The Ironton Register" has caught
on" to the Wayne county sell out.
Here is what it says:
The law provides that if railroad
company refuses to erect and maintain
a depot building at the point of inter-
section by another railroad, it shall
be liable in s25 damages per day for
each day it fails to provide such depot
building. Down in Wayne county the
Iron Mountain road for years refused
TO comply with this law, and suit was
at length instituted against it. The
accrued damages amounted to S4S, 600:
it was plain case. it is alleged, and
victory was sure for the county: yet
Prosecuting Attorney Sheets last week
compromised it for SO. No wonder
an Indignation meeting of the citizens
scored him numerically. as we under
stand it did. s47.925 is rather big
sum. and Wayne county doesn't like to

INDIAN CORN.
II is Pre-Eninently the staff Of Life
in this Country.

in this Country.
! The sharp advance in the price OF
corn. owing TO the damage to the
growing crop. may serve 10 remind a
! good many people who seldom think
! of Indian corn at all that it is pre-
eminently the staff of life in this
| country.
When We speak of grain We generally
think of wheat. giving it an importance
which does not belong to it in the
economy of the United States. where
its total value is often hardly half that
of the corn crop. In 1892 the official
figures show that the total value of
our corn crop was almost exactly
double that of our wheat. that of the
corn crop being s642, OOO, 600 as against
only $3222. .OOO.OOO for wheat.
As the competition of India Russia
and the South American countries with
our wheat becomes more severe our
corn crop will increase still more
in Importance. In raising corn We
have no competition worthy of the
name. and are never likely to have it.
Our soil is generally favorable for its
production. but the Prairie States
Illinois. 1oway. Kansas. Missouri and
others of like soil-haye advantages
for corn-growing that are unequalled.
Undoubtedly corn is the cheapest
and best food for the masses of
Europe, for whom wheat is too dear.
and the way il is now being introduced
In Germany gives room for the hope
that their prejudice against it will dis
appear. On account Cf its bulk. how
ever. corn will always be most profit
ably marketed in the form of meats.
When the Chicogo monopoly of the
d,'esseG-beef trade Is broken by the en-
forcement OF the antitrust law there
Will be a greatly increased demand for
the cOrn-fed beeves ofthe Central West.
with better prices for the producer. and
with better beef for the consumer than
is now furnished by the trust. And
when all European restrictions against
Western pork are removed the increas-
ing value of corn and its secondary
products will add immensely to the
surplus wealth of the United States in
general. and incidentally to that of
New York as the port of exit and en-
try for large part of the trade de-
pendent on the corn crop.
Great is corn already. but it is to
be greater still when our immense re
sources are handled with fuller ap-
probation of their possibilities in the
future-New York World.

TAUGHT BY NATURE.
As Fast as One Lesson is Mastered
Another Rises to Perplex Us.

As Fast as One Lesson is Mastered
Another Rises to Perplex Us.
To men who knew only what had be-
fallen themselves and their dwelling
place during a few generations, it was
but natural to repeat: The thing
that hath been. it is that which shall
be: and that which is done, is that
which shall be done: and there is no
new thing under the sun" But We of
today are in different case. The
astronomer, joining camera to teles-
cope, expands the sphere of the
known universe a million fold: he dis
covers system after system in stages
of life such as our sun and its at
tendant orbs have passed through in
ages so distant as to refuse concep-
ton. The geologists deciphering the
birth register of our planets Oldest
rocks. gives them lifetime scarcely
to be distinguished from eternity.
The range of time. thus broadened.
permits to the smallest arc of change
a sweep wherein it becomes circle of
profoundest transformation. The
naturalist, his tasks of mere descrip-
tion almost at an end. finds their chief
value to lie in their furnishing data
for the new question. How did all
this diversity of life become what it
is? Ever the keynote of reply is
action and reaction, unending stimu-
lus and response. Permanence is only
a seeming. the truth behind it is uni
versal Elasticity and change. In the
organic world this passing from ap-
pearance to cause has restored soul
to body, and made Ineligible for the
first time both form and substance.
by referring them to the forces which
mold and inform every material frame
of life. In the inorganic world it will
be the same: the force which binds sun
to planet, pebble to seashore, will yet
be understood as part of the unbroken
round of all-comprehending notion

A YANKEE SHARPER.
Rakes i'm the Wealth by
the Car Load.
He Robs Ihe Scott County Melon
Raisers.

He Robs The scott County Melon
Raisers.
4 sharper from Cleveland. Ohio.
representing himself as the agent of
a Cleveland commission house. has
been in Scott county buying melons.
He induced the melon raisers to allow
him to ship their melons to his house
and he got about fifty car loads turned
over to him. He shipped the melons
in his own name and then departed
and the melons and the slicker have
never been heard of since. He got one
car load from poor widow who had
worked hard to raise one car load,
and that was all she had to depend on
for her winter supplies.
The man is slick Yankee whose
business is to rob the poor unsuspect-
ing farmer and he found his suckers in
Scott county ready to receive him.
We have very little sympathy for his
victims. but the scoundrel who robbed
them deserves hanging.
4 slick Dutchman once worked the
same kind of a trick on Nicholas
Wichterich and Henry Stratman in
this city. He was here purchasing
corn for a commission house in New
Orleans and he got on the good side
of the gentlemen mentioned and got
them to endorse for him in the Sturdi-
want Bank for three or four thousand
dollaas for money to pay for corn.
When he had purchased all the corn
he could get he shipped it in his own
name and left the city. This was the
last ever heard of the man and the
corn. but Messrs. Wichterich and
Stratman We're notified later on that
their names showed up on some paper
in the bank and they had to step up
to the Captains Office and settle.

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
Poor Democratic Chill.

Big COlored Person in the
Wood Pile.

The law suit of Wayne county
against the Iron Mountain for forty
thousand dollars for the benefit of the
School Fund of that county has been
settled for twenty-five dollars. This
suit was instituted by Wayne county
against the Iron Mountain Railroad
Company for the recovery of forty
thousand dollars because of the fail
ure of the Iron Mountain Railroad
Company to build depot at the
junction of the St. Louis, Cape Girar-
deau Il Fort Smith Railroad at Will
Evansville. and the penalty for failing
to do this amounted to twenty-five dol:
lars day since April, 1889. And al
though the law is very plain that the
money was due and belonged to the
poor Democratic school children of
Wayne county-and the Lord knows
they need tit is gone from them for
ever. The intelligent attorneys of the
county gave away thirty-nine thous-
and nine hundred and seventy-tiye
dollars TO the railroad company
which. it is supposed. the railroad
company also needed.
How much Doodle was dished out in
this dicker of course will never be
known. but this depriving the poor
children of Wayne county of money
that is justly due them shows that
nothing goes il that county with
out Doodle. For His goodness we
thank the Lord from the whole sur
rounding of our heart that We are not
a resident OF Wayne county. and if
we are a sinner and have 10 go to that
dreaded place the preachers warn us
about we will protest against going
through Wayne county For this the
Lord may cali lis kicker. That's all
right. We had rather be called
kicker at every station on the road to
the brim stone regions than to be
caught in company with the people of
a county where the money the law sets
aside TO educate the poor children is
stolen from them and divided up be-
tween Doodle lawyers and greedy rail
road corporations.
To the poor Democratic taxpayers
of Wayne county We extend our heart
felt sympathy. This is all it is in our
power TO do for them.
1t does seem to us that the Judge of
the Circuit Court of Wayne county
ought to have acted as guardian for
the poor children of that county and
sat down hard on that damnable rail-
road fraud when he was asked to
enter this shameful so-called cOmpro-
mise on his records.

Looking on the bright side.

There is bright side" even to
these dark days of strikes, Democratic
administration and financial distress.
Our old ''ship of state" was ''Out on

of opposition. boats filled with anar-
chists and Objectional foreigners:
boats loaded with trusts and
weighted with capitalists. long before
we took our seats in it. She is just as
strong and trustworthy to-day as she
was then. The French have 4 proverb
that The present is for those who en-
joy: the future for those who suffer.
We should in every possible way seek
to enjoy the presen: 70 the fullest ex-
tent. and not waste its golden hours
in gloomy forebodings, living in con-
slant dread of We know not what. To
be sure our portion may not equal our
