SEVERAL years ago certain coun-
ties in Southwestern Missouri were
bonded for the construction of rail
road. The road was never built, but
the bonds had been floated and sold.
When they became due most Of them
were in the hands of innocent par
ties. Payment was refused by the
counties on the ground that they
could not be made to settle for some
thing they had never received. The
courts, however, decided the bonds
had been purchased in good faith by
those holding them, and that there
fore were valid obligation, even If
the projectors of the road had de.
frauded the counties Further liti-
cation followed, but finally the judges
of the counties were commanded by
the United States District Court to
levy assessments for payment of the
bonds. The judges of st. Clair Coun-
ty refused to make the levy, and were
thereupon sent to Jail fof>contempt.
Their successors also refused to obey
the court and were imprisoned. The
other day Judge Lyons became in
sane Judge Copenhaven, his prede-
cessor, is dying, and the wife and
daughter of the latter have become
insane from the shock of his impris-
onment. Although the innocent
holders of the bonds in question
should not lose their money, still the
case of the offending judges is assum-
ing such tragic features that some
way should be devised for their re-
lief If they could be released and
the projectors of the railroad impris-
oned in their stead, there would be
more of equity In sight than there is
at present. 1t would seem that some
sort of compromise should be ar
ranged between the counties and
bondholders: otherwise Imprisonment
may follow imprisonment, as it is
certain no judge elected in St. Clair
County will ever levy any assessments
! of the proportions they are now.

for expenses, but they were not al

for weeks. Eventually, In reply to
many dispatches sent out to ask how
he was getting on, letter arrived.
"As expenses are not allowed. Mr..

Why Gold Goes.

The greatest gold importing pc. riod that this country has enjoyed in many years was during the two and half years beginning August 1, 1879. In that time we import ed s212,000,000 in gold.
 What was the secret of this i'm portation of the precious metal? It was very simple. The Bland Allison act was adding each month two millions of coined sl- yer dollars to our stock of primary money. This addition, small as it was, raised the prices of com. moditios in this country slightly above the European level, and IS Il consequence, gold came over to pay for the surplus that constitul- ed the balance of trade.
 This condition of affairs lasted until the demonctization of silver in June. 1893, which largely in creased the value of gold for mon etary purposes ana knocked prices and values down to the Europe an level. The consequence Is that although we are now exporting more commodities than we import, falling prices represent vacuum in international settlements that must be filed with our gold.
 The way, and the only way, to stop gold exports is to raise prices here above the European level. cnd the best way to do that is to restore silver to its old place in our financial system. We have got to get rid of the single gold standard before the business men and producers of this country can have anything like the prosperity they should enjuy.-Constitution.

The P ain Facts.

The trouble over the Tennes- see gabernasorial election IS due to one cause, which is easily per cePtible. Some people outside the State labor under misappre- heusion oi the facts of the case. It is well that the truth should be plainly and simply stated. A few years ago q poll tax law was adopted in Tennessee as reintor- cement of the Australian ballot law. The reform in the election laws was the outg1owth of a pub lic protest againt the inadequacy ot the laws then existing to insure lair elections. It so happens that the Republicans and Democrats of Tennessee are massed in differ ent parts of the State-the Rcpub- licans in East Tennessee, and the Democrats in Middle and West Tennessee. The line of demarka. ton IS very definite. From the moment the poll tax bill was en- acted until today the Republicans have denounced It, and the Repub- nf I,ct made special protest against the law and demanded It's repeal. It was the most important plank of the platform, When the Republ- can speakers came to the stump they were very ferce in their in- vectives against the law. They declared il infamous" "a method of bribery, 7 'a violation of sacred rights and in other phrases con demned the law. They used all their powers to convince the peo- pie that the law was wrong. and to incite voters to violate it. What was the result in all-Rcpub- lican East Tennessee? Election officers, yielding to sentiment in which they shared, and compass ed by their party friends and neighbors who na4 been targht 70 despise the law. permitted men to vote without poll tax receipts, and felt themselves secure in the neighborhood sympathy. In Democratic Middle and West Ten nessee he law was carefully ob- served, the result being, of course, that many hundreds of Democrats, who had failed to pay their poll taxes, because it was not convent ent at the time to do so, remained at home or were refused the privi-

election in 1897 of a Republican to succeed John Nj.

Per haI II might, but the State didn't stnp T, 50,000. It ran away from every body, Tanner included. So let not Tanner grow wise in his own conceit. Let him not ex- alt himself as one that is anointed to sit among the prophets.

A great principle is, there tore, involved in the question which will presently come before the general assembly,.

The advice which the spokcsmen of Evans during the campaign gave the Republicans of East Tennessee was of exactly the same order and spirit which have marked the infammatory appeals of Herr Most and Lucy Parsons to their followers in New Yol k and Chicago. There is no differ ence whatever, except in the choice of phrases. They dwelt upon the alleged injustice of the law and reused their hearers so that they were willing to go out ana seek redress by ignoring the law altogether. Yet it is serious. ly proposed that the general as sembly shall waive all eonsidera. ton and recognition of this an
