TIRE CONFEDERATE HOME.
A Good Report OF the Condition and
Management OF the Institution.
From the Nevada Mail


Mayor Davis has returned from
Higginsviile where he went to attend
a special meeting of the board of
control for the ex- Confederate home.
He reports the home in good con-
dition and its inmates, as arule well
satisfied with the degree of comfort
which it affords. One or two OF them
however, are inclined to grow dis
contented and restless and give the
managers some trouble. The local
board is made up of four good busi-
ness men and the direction of affairs
is largely entrusted to them. Capt.
Castle, the superintendent, is show
ing himself adapted to the position.
He was an orderly sergeant in the
company of Treasurer Bryan of this
county.
About $4,000 per annum is re-
quired for the ordinary expenditures
of the home.
There are now about 100 inmates
including the women and children.
"Quite a prosperous air relgns
over the home," said Mr.. Davis.
every thing about the house is
neat, and the farm is kept in good
condition. They have large herd
of cows and about fifty hogs ready
to be converted into pork.
Among the inmates are two men
who have become insane since their
arrival at the home. One is from
st. Louis and the other from New
ton county. An attempt was made
to induce the Lafayette county court
to send these men to the asylum,
but they declined the responsibility.
Mr.. Davis, the member of the board
from this district was requested to
correspond with the Newton coun-
ty court and have that body take
charge of their former fellow citizen.
The farm attached to the home
naturally very fine piece Of land,
but it has been very persistently
titled, and will be put down in clo-
yer until its fertility is restored.

This human sponsorship is one of
the strongest arguments for infant
baptism. One generation refuses
the religious truth which it has in
herited into the coming generation.
Upon the fidelity of the power of
continuity we. must absolutely de-
pend. The scriptures are of no val
ue unless this succession of apostles
has been honest in handing down
the past. THEY contain the most
important truths, but these truths
are only valuable as we can trace
them to Christ A religious body
that begun fifty years ago cannot
carry back the chain of continuity
and must be utterly worthless for
authority except as it can learn on
what it borrews from somebody
more ancient than itself. Here is a
church which traces its historical
succession back to the apostles. The
most implicit reliance must be
placed upon it as a transmitter of
the scriptures, yet tits charged with
being corrupt in all other testimony
which it has handed down.
This discourse was very atten-
lively listened to and excited much
discussion

Good Money With Two SOws.

at 5 cents per pound would be
$12S.75. No. 1 farrowed nine pigs
the last of July. At 10 weeks old

which was $3.50 each, making
$44.SO. No. 2 farrowed seven pigs

Americans Not Anarchists.

1t behooves the labor unions to be
particularly careful not to harbor
anarchists after they have once be-
come known as such and not permit
any anarchistic orators to address
them. Anarchism IN this country
is entirely imported. The majority
of Americans who work with their
hands are by no means disposed as
yet to regard themselves as a class,
much less as "poletariat.' Ger
tainly they do not mean to be re-
garded as enemies of society. but,
considering what has come out of
some of the labor organizations in
Europe, American members of such
organizations ought TO be particular
ly careful not to do anything that
! will justify anybody in confounding
them with anarchists.

THE Columbia (Mo.) Herald in
an extended editorial shows clearly
that those who favor the land loan
scheme and that class of legislation
must swallow the entire Populist,
national and socialist plans of gov
eminent and then adds. $50 back
to Thomas Jefferson's teachings and
read that equality before the law is
the foundation of the republic. Lets
read also Jefferson's reply to a
French minister: ''1ou treat your
people as though they were infants
to be nursed by the government, we
regard our citizens as free men able
to care for themselves. The Her
aid does not desire to see our farm
ers reduced to the character of in
fants nursed by the federal govern
ment and looking to it always for
aid. We suffer too much now from
paternalism.
We agree with our neighbor as to
the deplorable condition of the agri-
| cuitual states. We are in sympathy
| with its wish to relieve them. But
the most certain relief will come
from wiping out all class legislation
now on the statute books not from
| adding to it."

WHAT we need in this country at
this time are more fearless, honest
party leaders. Men who will con-
scientiously favor a measure be-
cause they think it right and for the
best interests of the country and not
from personal motives or for reasons
that will advance their own private
interests. We need party leaders
like physicians who will examine a
case thoroughly and then prescribe
an honest remedy. Quacks in poll

WHOLESALE HORSE STEALING
Sheriff stephens Was Hot on the Trail
But Did Not Get the Thief.

Last Tuesday night "Buck"
Walker, living east of this city, had
a fine mare stolen and could find no
elew to the perpetrator of the deed.
Last night Marshal Brown, of Cen
tralia, telephoned Sheriff Stephens
that he had arrested a man who
gave his name as Homer Diggs, on
the strength of telegram from the
sheriff of Howard county, in which
Diggs was accused of stealing two
horses in Howard county about two
weeks ago. AS Diggs was being tax
en- to Jail in Columbia he confessed
stealing the horse he had in his pos
session when arrested and said it
belonged to Walker. Marshal Brown
asked if such a horse had been
stolen and Sheriff Stephens an.
swered eyes; l will be after him to-
morrow" To day Sheriff Stephens,
armed with a warrant and A
Smith e. Wesson and carrying
all the dignity of his office up
on his broad shoulders, hied HIM
self to Columbia to/get the horse
thief. But the authorities in CO.
lumbia were 10th to turn the pris-
oner over to the mercies of the Au-
drain officers on account of what
they called the prior claim of the
Howard county officials. But Sher-
if Stephens was determined to have
him, however, and applied for a
writ of habeas corpus. While the
papers were being fixed, the illus
trious Homer confessed to having
stolen a horse in Boone county last
fall. The Boone county officials
gave :Diggs hearing; he pleaded
guilty and was sent to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury, all
inside of five minutes. Sheriff
Stephens came nome to-day, but
says he will get Diggs the moment
he pokes his head outside of the
penitentiary.

The Panic of 1898.

The panic of 1898 will excite the
keenest interest of the student of
political economy for century to
come. 1t was not the result of a
failure Of crops or of a war or con-
vulsion of nature or conhagration of
any other destruction of real wealth.
1t was caused by the defiance or
plain economic laws. The new
year holds out better things. The
currency is now on a sound basis,
and rational revision of the tariff
promises to stimulate our industries
and equalize the burdens of taxation.
Bubbles have been pricked and
business is on bedrock basis. Wall
street mas had such "house. clean
ing" as was never before known and
the ground everywhere has been
cleared for new enterprises. The
great natural resources of the coun-
try are unimpaired, the indomitable
energy of its people remains undi-
minished and nothing but a revival
of confidence is needed to inaugu-
rate period of new and lasting pros
perity.

Clearly Denounced,
From tha Centralia Guard.

The f. & L. Z. of the Ninth Con-
gressional District recently held a
meeting atWellsville, Missouri, and
among other things adopted reso-
lutions demanding the immediate
passage of a stay Law, the purpose
of which is to stop the payment
of taxes and debts for at least a
year. They also wanted the gov
ernment to loan money at two per
cent. Neither of these measures
are practicable. and are visionary
and chimerical schemes. How could
the government loan money when
it is millions of dollars in debt and
trying to adopt some measure for
relief, besides the poor farmer,
whose lands are already mortgaged
would not be benefited, because he
could not give the necessary securi-
ty. and as a consequence wealthy
land owners wenld get the two per
cent money and re-loan it at s per
cent or over. AS for the stay law,
this is nonsense. Such a law would
demoralize business and break up
almost every business man, mer-
chant, stock and produce buyer in
the State, and bring certain ruin
upon the farmers, because when
you stop the payment Of taxes and
debts you naturally stop business
and PROSTATE every enterprise and
the poor farmer who is to be bene-
fited would be the greatest suffer
er. People who intend to pay their
honest debts want no stay law.
