Every mans sympathles must go out
to women fighting an evil that wounds
their affections and destroys 80 many of
their homes. This feeling gave the
Crusade its strength. They failed to
lift human nature by one grand effort
from the slough it has been wallow-
ing in since the beginning, as all such
efforts must fail. And it was pitiful
thing to see them beating with bare
hands helplessly and hopelessly against
the adamantine walls of heredity.
But the eternal laws governing human
passions and human appetite would
not be denied, and they resistlessly
flowed back into their old chan nels.
Each man must solve the temperance
question for himself. Temperance So

is personal question. From the
ashes of the Crusade arose the White
Ribbon society. 1t has extended a

brother, and in that way has benefited
those 1t has come in contract with. No

Then and Now!

Ed. Register-Years ago the present
editor of the Bonne Terre Democrat
Register became the editor of the Bonne
Terre Democrat, and, as before, the
latter paper continued to be issued as
Democratic - Tariff Reform sheet.
Recently, the Republican paper at that
point-the Rcgister-has been consoli-
dated with that paper, evolving the
Democrat Register, the Republican
editor retiring and. the Democrats out
fit moved to the Register Office.
Nor was this all of the change that
came over the spirit of Bro. Roy's
dream.
Whereas, in former campaigns the
Democrat was for Tariff Reform all
along the line, and being so was a
proper exponent of the Democracy of
St. Francois county, now and since its
joining the Register, 1t has become
more than half Republican, on the
the Bonne Terre Register was owned by
the St. Joe Lead Company, and as evil
dence of the charge pointed to its
editorials in favor of the tariff on lead,
and to charge that the Company officials
wrote the same.
Now, and since the consolidation of
the papers and the moving of the Dem.
ocrats office, it's readers are coming to
believe il has moved it's faith. Form
erly, it had small advertisements for
the st. Joe Lead Company; now they
are many and large; formerly the pa
per was for Tariff Reform all along the
line; now it is against it on lead-and,
inferentially, all along the line; form
erly it was paper of the people;
now it is paper for the ST. Joe Lead
Company; formerly, it circulated petit
tions for a reduction of the Tariff; now
it circulates petitions against Tariff re-
duction; formerly, the edito- wrote his
own editorials; now .
We judge these things from the utter
ances of this paper and its editor.
Verify! ga change has come DER the
spirit of his dream"

Against the Bond Issue.

General Master Workman Sovereign
of the Knights of Labor. before he left
Philadelphia for his home in Des
Moines, issued an address to Knights
throughout the country, appealing to
them to protest against the proposed
bond issue. The language used in the
address leaves no doubt as to the mas
ter workman's opinion in this matter.
He said:
1.-The sixteenth plank in the pream-
BILE of the Knights of Labor reads as
follows: That interest bearing bonds.
bills of credit and notes, shall never be
issued by the government, but that when
need arises, the emergency shall be
met by issue of legal tender noninter-
est-bearing money.
81 wish every local assembly of our
order in the United States wonld read
the plank above quoted, and discuss it
at their regular meeting in January.
The reason for asking new agitation on
this subject at this time is obvious.
The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr..
Carlisle, has asked Congress to grant
him authority to issue 5000, 900, 900 in
interest bearing bonds.
am also in receipt of letters from
cotton regions of the South and from
agricultural districts in the West de-
claring the issue of interest bearing
bonds by the national Government will
be considered sufficient to justify call
to arms. God forbid that we should

Injustice to Robbers.

Mr.. Geo. II. Nettleton, q railroad
manager of high reputation. plaintive-
ly remarks that lit is very seldom that
the Legislature of any State meets
without imposing some new burden
upon the railroads" This is very sad,
but he certainly had no reference to
Missouri whose Legislature is never
guilty of any legislation which the
corporations do not like. But there is
another side to the story. A railroad
debt created by fiat of the railroad
financiers without the expenditure OF q
dollar of capital is burden upon the
people who have some right in the
premises. So far as is known legisla-
tors have done nothing to prevent the
imposition of these burdens. The
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, for in
stance, is capitalized for $685., ZOO, 900
on a plant worth at the outside $60,-
100000. The difference is q bandit
claim upon the buyers of transporta-
ton and draft upon the resources Of
the country for which no equivalent is
given. Legislators permit this sort of
robbery and Federal Courts cooperate.
1t does not seem that the companies
have much to complain of. True, they
are asked now and then to strengthen
their bridges, keep up their rolling
stock and reduce their rates, but this
is only modest reminder that the bur-
heavier than can we'll be borne. Mr..
Nettleton should not be too sorrowful.
There is no necessity of hypocrisy when
fraud or highway robbery serves the
purpose. Disp dtch.
