tended for an article on ostrich culture in

whose poems ave been returned or found

A DELINQUENT OFFICIAL.-For several
weeks past the coroner of this county has
imbibed SO freely that he has been entirely
untitled for private or official business,
and many complaints lave been made by
those brought In contact with him. While
1t was not for us to meddle with the case
we felt 1t our duty to give him a little ia
therly advice. A few days ago, when we
happened to find him sober enough to let
go of a redhot poker he had picked up in a
saloon, we set out to talk to him. While
we were off our guard the miserable critter
luggcd nut an old secondhand gun and
fired u shot which would nave pierced our
editorial heart had 1t not struck a well
filled editorial wallet and been DETECTED.
We tried to sober the mar up by knock
ing his head against the ceiling and his
heels against the foor, but it was no use.
We were waiting to have another talk
with him when he suddenly disappeared.
The last seen of him he was mounted on
his old white mule and headed in the di-
rcction of Lone Jack Yesterday we had a
look ut the coroner's books and found a
sad state of affairs. He was elected to Of
fee three years ago ON the ground that he
was a good fellow and owned a one eyed
fighting dog. Nobody thought to ascertain
whether he could read or write, and 1t has
transpired that it was almost impossible
for him to do either.
Last fall q weary pilgrim from Utah
stole a mule over on big A" ranch and
proceeded to give his tired feet a rest. The
cowboys got after him and left him hang
ing to q tree at the crossing Of Cinnamon
creek. We find by an examination of the
%coroner's books that the only record he
made of the case was, "Unknone; lynched;
no pop'ty." This was probably the man
a party was here looking for a few weeks
ago. and 1t was no wonder he could find
out nothing through the c%oroner's Office.

at a jack rabbit and killed q stranger who

money, but the only record In the %coroner's

says, "Francis is the coming man."
The Times is curious to known for
what. Haven't the people of this
State yet had enough of the political
ring of which Dave Francis is the ac-
credited prophet. with railroad mana
gers and attorneys as courselors and
snauipulators and Wall street as a
source of financial inspiration?
To this the Gazette rejoins, and calls
Francis a great leader. Even draws
the parallel of Francis and the great
and immortal Themistocles- Why,
bless your soul, Bro. Fisher, our phil
osopher is "a foolin' thee.'' He is not
in earnest. He has no ill will for the
noble old Greek hero. He did not
wish to harrass the soul of that fine old
| warrior, who doubtless is reaping the
| rewards of good deeds accomplished in
a good cause. II our philosopher had
| been in real earnest-cross-my-h ear1

els with Alcibiades, man whose chiei

friendships, but such as pay tribute to
an over-weening self-seeking; who re-
garded men as pawns on the ches:
board, to carry out his raging and CON
Stunning ambitlon. We regard ths
philosopher as one gifted with large
resources and unbounded humor.
As we contemplate the sign, ''Fran

The Philosophers Sarcasm,

The De Soto Gazette philosopher. in
his travels through Southeast Missouri,
finds much food for thought. He is a
veritable philosopher, and in the col
umns of his paper expresses himself
sagaciously and pleasantly. This
philosopher sometimes INDUCES in
humor, and so deity does he ''catch
the manners living as they rise" that
the unwary believe him in earnest.
Immediately after the election. APP
peared liz the Gazette in different
places. the following: FRANCIS is the
coming man." Now. everyone ia
miliar with State politics knows that
the State Central Committee is Fran
els Committee-thatt the last campaign
was Francis campaign. In fact, the
St. Louis Republic was so fearful that
this might not be understood. that
Francis and his wonderful speeches
and chivalric deeds were heralded on
every page of that great daily. The
appointments in this State, from Pres
idential offices to railroad berths. are
all the results of the Francis influence.
What was the result of this overdose
of Francis? 1t was very much like the
campaign results in 1888. So our
philosopher, with that grim humor o:
his. hung out the sign, "Francis is the
coming man."
We consider this stroke from our
friend at De Soto fully equal to some
of Washington Irvlng's best efforts in
his humorous II istory of New York.
Ike Marvel even could have received
points from our philosopher. Some
matter-of-fact. plain spoken people,
failed to observe the latent sarcasm in
this statement of our friend. Our
friend Fisher of the Pennington Times
considered the philosopher in earnest,
and wrote as follows:
