Legislative Work.

The Republican majority in the
Missouri Legislature have Il great
opportunity before them. The man
agement of the state for the noxt
two years will be in their keeping.
BY u pains taking, careful, business
like session much good can be done
the state and great party advantage
gained. Conservatism should be the
motto all along the line. Much
more can he accomplished by that
method than by any other. OF
course, the Republican members of
the legislature elect realize that the
Senate is still democratic and that
the governor, who has the veto power
also belongs TO that party. Good,
wholesome Legislation not adopted
purely for party gain, with merit
written ON its " pages, will win
the ual Tor the ltepuDllcans, regard
less of the action of the Senate or
the governor. The Congressional

securing parry advantage, but in an

if it hopes to hold the advantages
gained in this election, must put the
very best men it has forward-men
whose names will guarantee a con.
servative, business.lik administra-
ton of affairs in the Legislature.
The people are tired of ire -brands
and calamity howlers and men who
have brought about depression and
ruin to every business in the land.
They now want u conservative, bust
ness-like administration of the affairs
of Missouri, and il the Republicans
give such they will have every reason
to ask for a continuation of the trust
that has been given to them this year.
We hope that the talk Of factions
that has been injected into the
speakership contest by the Demo
Gratis will be thrust aside by the Re-
publicans and not permitted to side.

the Republicans a duty, and that is

The Official Count.

The official count of the vote in
Missouri sustains the Democratic
theory that the election of the Re-
publican state ticket was due to the
stay at. home Democrat. The same
AUS explains the election of a
number of Republicans to congress.
The Republican party should, there
fore, so conduct itself in the next
two years that many of these stay
at home Democrats will be able to
say, " well done, good and faithful
servants" With such a feeliug
many of them will favor making the
change more complete and emphatic
two years hence. This was done in
Iowa, Kansas, Colorado and other
states when the Republicans were
turned out of power, and why the
same results should not follow in
Missouri where the Democrats have
been turned out we do not see. We
believe that the Legislature has the
power to make a record that will es.
tablish such confidence in the party
that it will he able to go into the
next campaign with excellent pros
poets Of electiug the entire stat'
ticket.

Speakers Up Contest

The Democratic party, and Il few
busybodies in the Republican party,
are trying to make Il IilIey and an
anti Filley fight out OF tue contest fox
speaker Of the house of representa-
tives. We can, Of course. under
stand why Democrats should desire
= factional fight among Missouri Re
publicans, but why Republicans
should be willing to lend them all
and support, we don't understand
The fact that the Republican, part!
unanimously elected Mr., Filley chair
man of the State central c6LlAittee
last summer and the fact that under
his management the Republicans
have elected ten members Of con
gress, a Republican state ticket, and
a majority in the lower branch Of the
legislature, should at least permit
him to express his opinion as to the
men who are best qualified to fill
the position of speaker in the Mis-.
souri, legislature.
In 1888 the Republicans wou a
great victory in the cougrcssiona
fight in this state, which gave the La
tional house Of congress TO the Re.
publicans. This was done undei
Mr., Filley's management. The
great victory of this year is the iirsr
that the party has achieved since thar
memorable contest. This was ulsC
done under Mr.. Filley's manage
ment. 1t would, therefore, appea.
that no one has stood up for tho
party any more successfully than
Mr.. Filley, and common courtes,
should permit him to at least express
m opinion.
To fight Filley means to fight

Washington Notes.

In the Senate, Friday, Kyle, Populist,
spoke in favor OF q graduated income tax;
Vest, for tho the Finance Committee, pre-
sented substitute for the amendment
heretofore offered in relation to insurance
and mutual benefit associations; also, an
amendment reducing the exemption from
"a, 900 to %, 900 year, also. an amend
ment for the reduction In the assessment
OF banks, railroads and other corporations
of the "actual operating expenses, interest
on bonded debt and losses"
Sherman spoke against the income tax;
as did also Hill; Of New York, but the sub
stituted reported by the Finance Commit
tee was adopted.
In the House, that day. the an.i-option
bill passed by vote Of $50 to 81. 1t Is
aimed at stock gambling.
In the Senate, Saturday, Mr.. Vest with
drew the Finance Committee amendment
10 reduce the exemption in the income tax
from "a, 900 to 5000. Its withdrawal was
followed by four successive amendm enta
offered by Mr.. Hill to reduce the eIemp.
ton to o., 900, $1,000, $500 and $4,000.
These were oil slaughtered by majoritiei
ranging from "a 10 9. An amendment by

Punxsufawney.

A correspondent of the Oil City Derrick,
writing from the camp Of the 5th and 18th
regiments near Punxsutawney says:
The camp itself In most beautiful place,
but ID overlooks tough country, indeed.
AS your correspondent writes he can zee
hundreds Of Dagos and Huns houses and
the mouths OF three coal mines. The
houses In which the strikers live oil belong
to the company owning the mines and they
are OF good appearance, but each one La oc-
supied by four or five families, who throw
in together and pay eight dollars month
rent.
Our victorious entry into Walston is
worthy Of description. We reached PUNK
sutawney and while stationed there hearo
reports that would raise the hair on dog !
back, and we were feeling rather excited
when we received the command TO march
TO scene Of the trouble. On our way down
each man had been given 20 rounds Of am
munition, but on our arrival ut "Punxy,"
m everybody calls it here. we were
handed 20 more rounds and told not TO
waste bit OF II.
We had marched about mile when we
received orders to halt, and when we dis
covered the cause mighty cheer went up
from all. IL was the Sheridan troop OF
cavalry, going TO the front. We went on
then, preceded by the cavalry, until with
I'm sight Of Watson, with General Wiley,
Sheriff Gourley and Colonel Hulings at our
head.
Hating just outside Of Walston, Compa-
ny II was called to the front and led the
way into the town. Stopping at the post
office, Company II, led by Sheriff Gourley,
Col Hulings and Captain Crawford, was
marched ont to the residences Of the lead
ing strikers, where we were ordered to
search every residence for dynamite bombs
and other warlike implements. A thorough
search was instituted, but TO no avail, ~
nothing was found. In marching into the
town skirmish line was formed over q
half mile in length. and It certainly pre-
sented an appearance to the strikers that
awed them, al after they saw we meant
business, instead Of presenting sullen ap-
psarance they began TO salute our officers,
and to-day nothing In too good for MS, but
they do hate the "Pinkertons."
