Were ever 50 many burdens put
upon any party as is fastened on to
the Democracy this year? But no
matter, Democracy is right, per Sc,
and the people know it and will
vote that ticket in spite of these
burdens. The people will not be
quick TO make the grand old party
of Jefferson, Madison, Jackson and
Cleveland suffer for the sins OF in
dividuals. No they will only re.
tire the individuals and put new
blood upon the track and give the
party another chance. Truth
crushed to earth shall rise again,
and as Democracy is truth and
right and justice, SO will she arise

liantly than tver.-12-Pole Mon

 The first session of tho Transmissis- sippi congress was held in 1890 at Gal weston, the second six months later at Denver, the third at Omaha. the fourth at New Orleans in February, 1892, the fifth at Ogden in April, 1893, and the sixth in San Francisco last February It is the aim of those who direct its dis cussions to consider every subject that is of special interest from q commercial and business point of view to the states ill tho western half 0f the Mississippi valley, in the Rockies and on the Pa cific slope, but the following questions are likely tO receive most attention: The rcmonetlZatiun of silver. the admission of territories la statehood. irrigation, the improvement nf western rivers and harbors, mining laws. antioption l, giS- latlon. the Nicaragua canal. the di>po- sition of Indian public lands. national bankrupt law and the railroads

 The president incumbent Is Henry R. Whitmorc of St. Louis, one of the best known and most influential men of his city.

 Good roads don't grow. They ars made There are few spots on the sur. lace of the earth where the shearinr process of moving wheel does moi make the passage of other wheels more difficult.
 On the great American desert tho roads arc merely tracks in the sand, which are cut down deeper and deeper. Another travelled way is started parallel to the first, then others. until sometimes there are a dozen tracks across the sandy plain. equally slow and discour- aging, with the usual fringe of horses bones The eastern ends of these roads are over the fertile prairies of the mid do states At rare times they are easily travelled. but there are long seasons when the mud is mp to the hubs of the wheels.
 The poorest roads ever saw wcro in Illinois, where tho fertile black soil is of great depth There is usually no ma terial by the roadside for good road making. and so the roadmakers scrapl the lo1m up in the center in the vain hope that the water will drain out of it. When the mud is at its worst, yay- ons are abandoned in the middle of the road, and in small cities have seen boats dragged through the street in- stead of trucks or express wagons
 After a January thaw the mud some times frcezeS as II is cut up. Then the roads are abandoned. except in cases of greatest necessity. which make the rack ing of wagons and the laming of horSss of little importance
 Hundreds of leads of gravel are spread upon Illinois reads. only to sink into the mud and vanish forever. The richest farms il the country border these roads. but pOOrCr farms cn better roads would give moro prCfit--COr Good Roads.

long ago as 1876. his desire barely missed consummation at the time Colo rado camo in. Bills for the admission of the two territories were introduced to- gether as sister propositions-one Dem- ocratic and one Republican-to suit the temperament of the two branches of congress, the house being Democratic and the senate Republican. Both bills went through the E1use and to the sen- ate calendar. but some formal amend ment was thought desirable by the sen- ate committee on territories. This amendment was accordingly made to both bills and then both passed by the senate. The Colorado bill was returned to the house for concurrence n little in advance of the other and was promptly put through.
 some pension measure came up next. and while it was being discussed Rep. resentative Conger. from Michigan. made n speech in which he displayed some bitterness toward the south. to tbe great offense of some of the southern men on the other side. Stephen B. Elkins was then delegate from New Mexico. Although then, as now, n Re publican, his personal popularity enabled him to represent n close Democratic con stituency, and it was his ambition to be one of the senators of the new state. It was Elkins' custom always to shake hands with speaker who had made n hit immediately after the conclusion of his remarks, and, if possible, before the applause had died away. He saw that Conger had met with great favor in the eyes of the Republicans, and. as usual. rushed to his side Then, his face beam ing with good fellowship. Elllins shook Conger's hand right heartily.
 The Democrats had already been made very angry by the words which CongCr had uttered, and when they saw Elkins virtually place himself on record as indorsing them their anger speedily extended to'him. As they had n major ity of eighty odd votes in the house. they were quite able to punish him for his thoughtlrssneSS, and they did so by showing under the bill for the admis- sion of New Mexico. That was IS years ago, and New Mexico has not yet been admitted, so that Mir. Elkins' hand shake was n very costly ono not only to himself, who thereby missed the scna- torship, but to the people of New Mcxi. co as well.

In his official capacity during the !as: three decades he has uf necessity cOiTcSpundrd with men holding similar positions in every other great city of the world. Mir. Morgan is now 5G years of age. He k a native of Plattsburc. V. N., and went tu St. Louis in ISGO. The he began life a< boukkccpcr and cashier for one of the largest and best known commission firms of the city. Five years later. iu 1865. he was chosen secretary of the Merchants Exchange and has continued tu fill that office sat iSfactorily to all concerned ever since. During that time his duties have in- creased in proportion to the growth of the exchange. which in 1865 had a membership of between GOO and zoo, and now has considerably more than 5000. Since 1872 there has been no opposition candidate. and therefore for 22 consecutive years he has received the unanimous vote of all the members This is record of which very few sim ilar executive officers of commercial cx. changes miyw here can lrast. and it is Creditablc alike tu the exchange and to Mir. Morgan.
 As irrigation will, of course, be ono of the chief topics discussed, the Hon. FL wood Meade, state engineer of wyom- ing and also president of the national irrigation congress. whose most recent session was lately held in Denver. will certainly be present. Mir. Meade, as a supporter of measures looking to the most effective method nf rCclaiming the fertile lands now arid through tho lack of water. will bc earnestly backed hy brainy men from every part of the ''rainless district.
 A feature of the last congress, held in San Francisco, was the presence of many state governors, and this will un- doubtedly be repeated at St. Louis Gov ernor w. !. Mcconnell of Idaho was president of the last congress. and Gov ernor Pennoycr of Oregon, who made himself famous by his message to Pres ident Harrison to the effect that if the chief executive of the nation desired to see the chief executive of Oregon it would he the nation chief and not that of the state who would do the travelling, was present and very active Hewill also probably be present at St. Louis, and SO will ex-Governor Hauser, him. self an ex-presilcnt of the congress.
