RENEWING COAL OPTIONS.
The Expert Examinations Of the Mon
0ngalia Field Result Satisfactorily.

The Index says that J. w. Hair.
working for j. NJ Guffey, the Pitts
burg oil operator, is busily engaged
in renewing the options on the coal
underlying large section of Marion
and Monongalia counties. Mr. CAT
fey has bought considerable amount
of coal and has negotiations pending
which will enable him to take up
quite large acreage additional. The
expert examinations Of the field have
been very satisfactory and no doubt
the whole acreage would have been
taken up before now, but owing to
the money stringency and the lack
of speculative disposition on the part
of capitalists, it has been very diff
cult within the past year to handle
any large enterprises of the charac-
ter Mr.. Guffey has undertaken. The
concern that is interested with Mr..
Gufey, is asking an extension of the
options on the coal field until about
the first of April next, and, as in
view of all the circumstance this ex-
tension seems very reasonable, and
as sale is almost certainly assured
by that time, most of the farmers
who desire to sell their coal are max
ing the desired extension OF options
20 Mr.. Hair. The preliminary work
OF examinations and reports having
been made by Mr.. Guffey's experts,
he is in much better situation to.
handle the field than any other one
could do without great deal of time
and expense. We, therefore, believe
that coal land owners who want to
sell will do better to extend their
options with Mr.. Guffey than to make
new contracts.

Why Missouri is Democratic.

Strangers and people who do not
study the matter closely no doubt
wonder frequently why it is that
Missouri is such solid Democratic
State. There is nothing strange
about this condition of affairs, when
the past and present history of the
State is examined Missouri is Dem
ocratic as matter of choice and
likewise as matter of protection.
Shortly after the commencement
of the Civil War the Republicans as
sumed bayonet rule over Missouri
and were not dislodged until 1870.
During this period nearly every
county III the State was swamped
with debts. Many of the County
Courts were presided over by free
hooters, who came into Office beg
gars on foot and went out On horse
back. They voted away the people S
money with impunity. To accuse
one of them of committing wrong
act was treason of the most daring
nature. Life and property were only
safe to those who were SO blind they
could see nothing wrong in the acts
of the freebooters.
But this condition of affairs could
not last always. Missouri possessed
men who were as fearless as they
were honest. Such Union soldiers
as Hon. Frank P. Blair, General
James Craig. Judge John Craig,
Judge John Philips, ex Governor
Crittenden. ex Governor John S.
Phelps and host OF others assailed
the freebooters from every stump in
tn State. They were threatened
and cursed alternately, but they
waxed stronger, and, finally. in 1870,
aided by such men as B. Gratz
Brown, Carl Schurz, Chas. P. John
son and the entire Democratic party,

why Missouri is Democratic, and
why she will continue so III the fu-
ture. This is why the majority is
large and continues to grow from
year to year. Is it any wcnder that
such is the case. Is it any wonder
that the old men, who were pro-
scribed and politically ostracised for
no other reason than because they
were Democrats. learn their sons to
never scratch ticket! Is it any
wonder that the majority continues
large when public debts are being
continually reduced aud taxes grow
ing less and less under Democratic
rule. 1t certainly appears to be no
wonder, and this fully explains why
Missouri is Democratic and why she
will remain SO long rs a remnant of
the Republican party is in existence
