Firm Stand

President Cleveland has addressed
a special message to congress in
which he calls on congress to furnish

commission in the Venezuelan
controversy. In the presidents
message at the opening of congress,
he stated that as soon as the CORES.

Sedahs's Csojfst Bondss

The boldness Of the Sedaiia capi-
tai removal schemers increases as
the subject progresses. When the
concurrent resolution was passed
1t was with the understanding, as
stated In the act itself, "that a sum
of money or other thing of value"
or sufficient securities or nbliga-
tions to guarantee the erection of
such buildings" should be put up.
And now, to the amazement of the
people Of this state, Sedalia is asking
tie governor to do something that
they hadn't I'VE the courage to ask
the legislature to do. That is to
say,they want the governor to accept
a personal bond on which not q
cent could be realized and the ac-
ceptance Of which is not authorized
by law. In the act that authorizes
the governor to receive the securities
is the following language: "De.
post with the governor such securi.
ties, bonds, oil obligations as may be
deemed sufficient by him." IL the
Legislature had intended to accept a
personal" bond they would have
provided that such bond should be
approved by and filed with the gov
eTHO.. ~ -. -, 80 s--S ss--~ s.i
landsharks thought they would be
able to sell their fake bonds of fifty
dollars for ten dollars each, and in
that way raise the funds. Since they
have failed in that they have the
boldness to ask the governor to do
something that the law doesn't and
never has contemplated. The bold.
ness of these highwaymen is some
thing astounding.

THE DAKOTA HOT SPRINGS.

been thrown open to the people, and
because of their delightful situation and
great curative qualities, are becoming
more popular every day. Situated 1t
this resort Is, In the famous Black Hills
IN the midst Of beautiful mOuutain scen-
ely, possessing that peculiar balsamic
atmosphere which is In Itself health CIV

New Court Houses.

The year 1896 is going to be a
great year for new court houses in
Missouri. At least a half dozen
counties have voted f~avorably on
new court house propositions.
While Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska
have been suffering from bonded
Indebtedness, Missouri counties are
almost free from debt. There has
been very little bond issuing in Mis-.
souri, in the past twenty-five years.
Missouri has been conservative.
There have been a few windy towns
and counties in the state, but as a
rule conservatism has ruled the state.
The new court houses which have
been voted are necessary, and it is
gratifying 10 see that the people have
the courage to vote bonds for some
thing they need.

Hioh Water.

section Of Missouri. The Usage was
said to be higher than 1t has been
since 1874, at some points 1t being
fourteen miles wide. Warsaw, Mo-,
was Inundated. Tuscumbia and
Bagnell and other Usage river towns

river has been booming and the Mis-.
sissippl in consequence threatens a
big overflow. This is something
phenomenal for Christmas week.
No such a spectacle has been wit>

New Gold Fields.

The old adage that it is an " il wind
that blows nobody good" has again
been exempliied in Colorado. With
the depreciation of silver and the
appreciation of gold, silver mining
that state stopped. For three
years stagnatiop and inactivity re.
suited, But for the past year the
people have taken heart and have
gone to prospecting for gold. Their
ucces has been so great that the
production of gold this year will
probably double the Outppt in that
state for any previous years, The
prospects are indeed 80 Hatterino
that Colorado is coming to the front
as the great gold state of the nation.
The interest in gold mines has in
creased TO such an extent that silver
is entirely ignOrtd. What appeared
to be Colorado's misfortune is turn
ing out to be her greatest good luck.

The NJ. K. e. 7.

The merchants of jefferson City
in p~alronizing the railroads on the
north side of the river should re-
member that the NJ, X. and T., a
new competitor, is in the field for
business. The Chicago and Alton
has been completed to Cedar City
for twenty five years, and during all
that period of time if the Jefferson
City merchant has ever been favored
with competitive freight rates, we
have never heard it mentioned. Now,
since the completion of the NJ, X.
and T., the Chicago and Alton comes
in at the eleventh hour and pretends
to be the friend of the merchants
of jefferson City, and is actually
getting business upon that theory.
Has it ever occurred to the mer-
chants of Jefferson City that the
pretended friendship of the G.. and
A. comes a little late? The Chicago
and Alton railroad has had ample
time and opportunity to show lis
friendship to Jefferson, but it has
never seer fit to do so until now,
when the bridge is about to be com.
pleted ard an earnest competitor is
found on the north side asking fol-
the trade Of Jefferson City. Re.
member the NJ, X. and t. is entitled
to q share Of that business.
