Iron and Dent Counties, Missouri,
Compared.

Every mountain range has one slope
abrupt and the other gradual. The
southern slope of the Ozarks is steep,
the northwestern is easy. Iron county
has large amount of rocky and brok-
en- land. The surface of Dent county
is more smooth. Considering the
larger area of Dent county, its availa-
BILE surface is at least twice that of
Iron.
Iron county leads largely in noble
springs and fine timber. In Dent
county the question of the water sup
timber problem will be serious in the
near future. The people of Dent coun-
ty should now use wire and hedge for
fencing.
One popularity in the surface of
Dent county is a vast number of large
sink holes, especially on or near the
crest of the Ozarks. Cattle and horses
or mules sometimes fall into them and
are lost. In the matter of good roads,
Iron county leads easily, although it
would be much easier to make good
roads in Dent county than in Iron.
In the matter of common schools:
For twenty-five years at least Iron
county has been singularly fortunate
in having judiciously energetic School
Commissioners, who have give a large
amount of careful thought to their
work, and consequently her school
system is above the average. 1t is
certain that the present Commissioner
of Dent county is not a success. The
Teachers Institute is in bad snarl.

The Hole Kolb Fell Into.

The majority for Oates in the Ala
bama election is now said to be $4,000
at least, and the legislature is also
safely democratic. This result reveals
to Senator Hoar and the Home Market
Club the size of the hole into which they
put their contributions to Kolb's cause
and the foolishness of any attempt to
break the solid south by fostering the
ambition of such arrant demagogues.
Malone was a costly experiment, and
Kolb is another, though less SO. When
the solid south divides it will be with
out external aid. especially from north
eru Republicans. The effect of the
Home Market Club circular was to
solidify the Democrats Of Alabama
against Kolb and make his defeat even
surer than it was before.-Springfetd,
Mass, Republican.

The Corporations In It.

Judge Amos M. Thayer. of St. Louis.
has been appointed Circuit Judge of
the new Eighth Judicial district of the
United States, by President Cleveland.
Judge Thayer has been district Judge
for the eastern district of Missouri,
since Mr.. Cleveland's first presidency,
and he is an able and an accomplished
jurist. having given the utmost satis-
faction to the members of the bar prac-
ticing before him. H. S. Priest, of St.
Louis. has been appointed to the va
cancy made by Judge Thayer's ad-
vancement. Mr.. Priest is recognized
and acknowledged to be one of the
brightest lawyers in the state, with the
ability to fill any judicial position.
Notwithstanding his ability he has
been corporation lawyer all his life.
and is now, or was the general attor-
ney for the Missouri Pacific, or Gould
system of railroads. AS rule, men
who are educated In one line of the
profession, no difference how able or
conservative they may be, are prone
always to prejudice in their line of
thought on legal questions. especially
those affecting organizations with
which they have long been associated.
The Democratic party is not favorable
to the selection of men who belong to
corporations. in whole or part. 1t is
not a tenet of the party's creed. The
one thing that is bringing the Federal
judiciary into the contempt of the
people. and warning them of Thomas
Jefferson's caution against these
courts, is the fact tn at too many arbi-
trary men have been placed on the
bench by presidential appointment.

The Fate of the Cuckoo.

We congratulate Hon. Charles Bart
gressional district. Mr.. Bartlett is
radical and when he is right he is the
side. He is man of ability, full of
energy, and we predict for him a fu-
ture in National politics that will make
for the Sixth district National repu-
tation. He is unpurchasable, outspok-
en- and bold-a young man who is full
ly imbued with the needs and wants
of his state, with the strongest integ-
rity and ability to maintain it. If he
has any fault, and we like to be can
did, he sometimes lets his prejudices
sway him. But there is one thing
that can be said about this: He never
lets his prejudices sway him against
the will of the people. but as to indi-
viduals it is more marked. This much
we say in all candor about the new
congressman from the Sixth. His
nomination., which is now assured,
amounts 10 an election.
AS to the defeat of Mr.. Cabaniss we
have this to say: No man in the dis
trict could have defeated him but for
his vote on the silver question. In
war and in peace he was always an
II
young man that was the pride of his
regiment. We know no young man in
Georgia that had more compliments
paid to his gallantry and courage.
Since the war he has been compliment
ed by his people with high and respon-
sible offices, and he discharged the
duties with marked ability that always
elected the praise of his friends and
had the respect of his antagonists. 1t
is unprecedented to turn a congress
man down in this state after one term,
and but for his unfortunate position on
the silver question he would have
been the last man to fall in the Geor-
gia delegation. We trust the presi
dent will carry out his policy and take
care of MIR. Cabaniss. He is infinitely
a superior man to Mr.. Cliff Breckin-
ridge, who foundered on the same rock.
Mr.. Cabaniss carried his home county,
and that is more than Mr.. Breckin-
ridge could do. And whatever the
president does do we hope he will do
it at once, for when the fall elections
take place he will have an army of
unfortunates to take care of all over
the country. We don't approve of this
policy, but if it is to be, we want what
ever Georgia is entitled to on that line,
and We know the favor cannot be be-
slowed upon more worthy and hon
orable unfortunate than the Hon.

Gold and Farm Products.

The prospects held out to the south
ern farmers are not very attractive.
Gold is going out and cotton is going
down. The going out of gold contracts
the currency, makes money harder to
buy with cotton and other farm pro-
ducts. and reduces values all around.
If the farmer had only cheap cotton to
contend with, they could get along
comfortably enough, but the cause
that has produced cheap cotton has
brought about other unfavorable re-
suits. The land that produces cotton
that must be sold for or cents a
pound is not as valuable by one-half
as it was when the cotton grown on it
sold for I2 and Is cents pound.
The consequence is that land values
have shrunk to meet the increased
value of gold and the decreased value
of their product. The tax returns
made to the comptroller general will
tell more eloquent tale of shrinkage in
1894 than they told 1898, when super
fetal observers were wondering what
cyclone had struck land values in
Georgia. The cause of the shrinkage
in the value of real estate and of the
low price of farm products the cause
of all the financial and business troub-
les that have come upon the country
during the past years. to be found
in the fact that gold alone has heen
made the debt-paying money of Europe
and the United States. The rich and
powerful creditors-the bondholding
classes-have succeeded In taking
away from silver the power to pay
debts. This power rests in gold alone,
and the consequence is that the de-
mand for gold has more than quadru-
pied in the past few years. With the
demand for gold more than quadru-
pied, and with no appreciable increase
in the supply, the inevitable result
has been large increase in the value
of gold. We cannot measure this in
crease in the value of gold by compar-
ing gold with gold, but the moment
we change the terms of an ordinary

Dent county claims to have quite {
number of Academies and High
Schools, but their students are no,
taught to do their own thinking.
The great objective in all true teach
ing is to enable the pupil to think. cor
rectly, independently and promptly.
In Dent county the rural school
houses are generally in a ramshackie
condition. The school house at
Hughes mill is very good exception
to the general rule. Outside of Salem
[ do not know of church building.
In Salem the appearance of the
churches and their surroundings shows
that Churchianity has general flavor
| of mild decay which will after while
develop into moral senile gangrene.
Old Federal soldiers are very num-
erous in Dent county and the G. A. II.
is strong on paper. That organiza-
tion, like the Church and the political
parties, has got into ruts and fails to
meet existing conditions. In church
matters little is being done at Stone
Hill. 1t lately passed through a
small fasco in the shape of two
weeks protracted Methodist meeting.
So far as any good is concerned, it was
water-haul, but in developing the
depravity of the neighborhood it was
an alarming success.
AS the powers that be in the church
here do not approve of the methods of
the writer, he quietly stood from un-
der.
God exerts no positive influence IN
the punishment of the damned. He'll,
the worm that dieth not. and the fire
that is not quenched, are merely names
for human depravity carried out to its
legitimate results. Whilst writing this
I wish to say that there are in both
Iron and Dent counties strong class
of earnest, quiet, thinking people. who
love and do the truth, and who, like
him Of old, are waiting for the conso-
lation of Israel.
am very glad you copied my note
to the Salem Leader. My Iron county
friends can see that am right side up
and alive and kicking. Since 1 paid
my respects to him, the Leader man
got it from lady in Florida, formerly
a citizen of Salem, who can see me and
go ten better. The way to dispose of
the whiskey business is to indict the
intoxicator for maintaining nuisance
and attach the whipping-post to con-
viction. That would sweep away the
appearance of respectability which a
system of license throws around that
nefarious business. l believe in the
right of women to vote. preach, shave,
whistle and sing bass, if they choose.
Although the deep utters his vioce and
lifts up his hands on high, I have an
abiding faith in God that all will be
we'll for our nation, and have rap
idly growing faith in Grover Cleye-
land as au instructor who will educate
the American people up to the plane
of the issues that await US.
So mote it be! THOMAS CALLAHAN.

The Piper and the Dancer.

The St. Louis Republic is jubilant
over the appointment of H. S. Priest.
general attorney of the Missouri Pa
cific, to succeed Judge Thayer as Dis
trict Judge of the Eastern District OF
Missouri. That's because Dave Fran
els is mainly responsible for the ap-
pointment. The wisdom of appointing
a man presumably welded to the in
terests of great railroad system may
we'll be doubted in the light OF past
history. When Francis pipes. it seems
that the Republic must dance. how

A Female Crusader.

DR.. Parkhurst is likely to be set
aside by Mrs. Sallade, strong-mind-
ed woman, who has undertaken to
show the police of New York how TO
do their duty
Mrs. Sallade is woman, of fifty-five,
and the mother of an interesting
daughter. The block upon which she
lives 10 New York city is also dotted
with several disreputable houses. FL
nally the situation became such that
the mother had to send her daughter
away, in order to be free from the
sights of the neighborhood.
1t was then that Mrs. Sallade fell
into brown study. Was it right that,
in city of law and order, a reputable
person should be compelled to abandon
home and property to the antics of the
wicked and the law breaking? Having
satisfied herself that it was rather the
law breaker that should go, she ap-
pealed to the big policeman on her
beat. Chucking her familiarly under
the chin, the man with the club said,
in whisper: ''Sissy, if you don't like
the way things are, you had better
call on his nibs, DR.. Parkhurst."
Forthwith she organized crusade of
her own. With a male companion she
applied TO one of the houses and Sc
cured room. She then ordered beer
and wine, and was prepared for what
the Frenchman might call ..ze grand
time" With the evidence thus gain
ed she had the manager of the house
into court and bound over. She then
informed the police of several other
places of similar character. They
refused to move unless she would
gather up the evidence and swear out
the warrants. '.And what are you all
paid for?" she asked in amazement.
1t is easy to see that woman of
Mrs. Sallade's determination and grit
will work out reform in the end. II
have determined that my daughter
shall live at home," she says modestly,
land it is these others who will have
to move. am here to stay"

the fact becomes apparent.
Ordinarily, we say that a farmer
brings his cotton to town to sell it
As a matter of fact the farmer brings
his cotton to town to buy money. He
can exchange his cotton for money,
but he cannot profitably exchange il
for other articles that he may need,
nor can he conveniently pay his debts
with it. He therefore brings it TO mar
ket to buy money. Twenty years ago.
he could buy 800 of debt-paying mon
ey with one bale of cotton. To-day,
he can buy little more than $50 in
debt-paying money. He concludes
from this-ie his reasoning faculties
are not benumbed- the value of
gold, as compared with the product of
his labor. has increased at a tremend-
Gus rate; and he is justified in this con-
clusion by the fact that the rate of in
crease holds good whether he brings
cotton, wheat. corn or oats to market.
He finds, also. that the value of his
cattle, his horses and his lands has de-
clined as compared with the value of
money.
But if the debt-paying power of sill
yer. which it possessed from the be-
ginning of the government down to
the day when John Sherman and a
to be demonetized, was restored, there
would be no hard times and no starva-
alton prices. The people would be
prosperous and contented even if ev-
cry dollar of gold should take wings
and disappear. Constitution.

Not a Democrat.

Emerson Claims TO De a DemOcra
! because he has always voted the ticket
| 1t is a puzzle to know how any man
fifty years old could have voted nc
| other than the Democratic ticket and
. have always been Democrat; for the
party has sometimes made such Undem-
ocratic platforms; but when Mr. f.
argues that the President had the
right to interfere with State affairs. as
Cleveland lately did, because the Con-
stitution did not prohibit such action
his Democracy: for the constitution
declares that all powers not erpressly
States and the people. Where is there
any power delegated to the President
of the United States to interfere in
what is matter of local and State
government. without the request of the
State legislature, or the governor?
Again Mr.. Z. says that no one has a
right to prevent another from working
when and where he wishes. Why our
laws are shaped to this very end; and
any man rich enough to own a natural
opportunity. whether it be a town lot,
field, a mine, or forest, can play
dog-in-the-manger with it and prevent
any one from working upon it though
be does not use it himself. Indeed,
were it not for the monopoly of natur-
al opportunities involved in landlord
ism we should have no strikes and no
lockouts, no boycotts; for there would,
in such case, always be two jobs hunt
ing for one man, instead of two men
hunting for one job.
The basic trouble is that our theory
of government is one thing. and our
practice another. and very different
thing. In theory we claim that every
man is endowed by his Creator with a
right to life, liberty, &C.; but our
practice is that the Almighty Dollar
does this endowing. So long as we
stultify ourselves by such a practice
the strong tendency will be toward
anarchy, from which the strong arm
of the Federal government cannot long
save us.
We cannot much longer ignore the
simple truths of economic law and live
Folly will destroy any form of govern
ment; and by permitting natural op-
portunities to become, aud to remain,
things of barter, sale, and speculation,
we have been, and are yet. guilty of a
folly that amounts to imbecility. When
we talk about law and order we mean:
for economic law is one thing and law
yers' law is very different thing; and
the order that tolerates a system of
legalized robbery is very different from
the order that secures every man in
his natural rights.
If we have any real Democracy in US
this travesty of government must give
place to real government. Saying we
are Democrats and voting what is call
ed the Democratic ticket won't save US.
We must be real Democrats. and so
Democratic that we shall refuse to
tolerate system of robbery for reve-
nues, and so Obvlate the necessity and
the excuses for Federal interferences
in local government. FARMER.
