THE ungraceful process Of turn
ing his coat has been successfully
accomplished by Israel King.
When he Yves in the Legislature he
pulled off his coat and challenged.
Catron to fight him. Now he is
pulling off his coat to fight on the
same side as the man he formerly
despised and wanted to thrash.
Hardly a reliable man that!

The value of the bullion shipped
from here by Wells, Fargo & Co.
during last month was given at
S18,540 in silver and $3.50 in
gold. The value given Of the
silver was probably about correct,
but the value given of the gold
was certainly not more thar half
the actual yaluo.

SENATOR VEST is one Of the
ableBt men in congress besides be-
ing a straight democrat and a
strong silver advocate. In q most
able and powerful speech at Kan
sas City the other day he said one
little thing that will ring in the
hearts Of democrats, not only in
Missouri, but everywhere through
out the Union. He said: "Con-
fronted by financial and business
depression for which they we're
not responsible, The democrats in
| congress have struggled amidst
unparalleled difficulties to redeem
the pledges made in our platform.
"Any coward can stay with the
ship in summer seas and under
cloudless skies, but brave men are
needed in cloud and storm.
"The hour Of battle is again
upon us. Our old enemy, the re-
publican party, is confident and
aggressive, They have the same
leaders, and if given power in
Missouri viii re-enact the same
outrages.
away with the false prophets
who predict continued depression
and disaster.
"The sunshine Of prosperity is
already beginning to flood our
land, and the croakers should hunt
the holes and corners Of chronic
discomfort. Your street viii soon
DO crowded with hurrying feet and
the hum Of industry be everywhere
heard.
Democrats Of Missouri close
up your ranks, send tho baggage
and towards to the rear, stop all
disscnsion, and we viii win an old
time victory"

The SOUTHWEST SENTINEL is
always glad to have its friends
drop into the editors Office and
make themselves at homo. 1t
gives the paper pleasure to have
them do 80. The only request the
SENTINEL makes is that its friends
will not in future select the red
ink pen to DIP in the black ink,
stick the mucilage brush in the
ink bottle, or cut an interesting
item from its files.

Col a. J. FOUNTAIN, the shrewd
schemer Of the republican ring in
Dona Ana county, will not lend
the &. O. D. hosts to victory down
there this year. Ho has forseen
the coming defeat Of his party and
has slipped away to Lincoln to ro-
main till after the election. Col.
Johnny Riley has been thrown
aside by his party like q wornout
glove aud feels justly indignant.
Col Llewellyn is no longer re-
cognized politically by the would
be powers Of the republican party
and sits sulking in his tent. AL
together it would seem as tho the
republican party had hopelessly
conceded the democracy Of Dona
Ana county, by giving up the fight
there and leaving such men as
Judge Nellie and A. L. Christy to
call themselves leaders.

THE Enterprise is simply a mass
of misstatements in its editorial
columns last week. Among other
things it says that Mr.. G. G.. Bell
drafted the ticket for the conven-
ton. He did nothing of the kind.
What good does the Enterprise
hope to do itself or its party by
pursuing 9 course Of this kind?
The only result will be to make
people believe hat everything up
pearing in its columns is false.

Mr. THEILMAKN poses rs n
school reformer. He had hardly
qualified as superintendent of pub
lie schools before he rushed into
the district court with a lot Of
imaginary grievances and reform
schemes. The court decided against
him time and time again, in fact
every time. The costs of all this
should have been paid by Mr..
Theilmann but he didn't pay a
cent and the expense of a lot of
useless and foolish litigation
amounting to several hundred dol
lars fell upon our public schools.
