\ FEW would-he Republican
leaders. who have an overwhelm-
ing opinion of their own political
prominence. assisted by Democrats,
are trying to work up an anti-FiI-
lev sentiment and thus create dis
sension in the Republican party of
MiSsouri; but so far the scheme
has failed, nor is it likely to sue
cced in the future. The party in
Missouri was never more harmo-
nious than it is today. and it stands
united almost to Il man on Filley
As the foremost leader Of the party.
The rank and file recognizes the
fact that the party has everything
to lose and nothing to gain through
dissensions and. therefore. Is not
likely to participate III any move
ment in opposition to Filley's lead
ership. With harmony in The
ranks, a few diseruntled would-bs
leaders will not accomplish mucl
damage beyond falling down an'
getting themselves hurt.

right for the debtor to borrow
good money. but wrong for him to
repay the e.creditor in the same coin.
He would have him pay his debt i'll

money in which the loan was made.
and thus relieving the debtor of
half his obligation to the creditor

but positively dishonest.
We do not know how near the
the above figures are correct. but
il is likely they arc somewhat over

Suming. however. that our debt to
foreign creditors amounts to the
sum given in those figures. we fai!
to see why any portion Of it should
be repudiatcd. The people of the
United States solicited these foreign
investments and they were made in
good faith with good money. They
have done much to dcvclope our

WHAT we would like to get at
is this: will the Ironton ''Register
and the Pennington ''Herald'' sev-
er their allegiance to the Democratic
party if it should not declare itself
irreyocablc in favor of free and un-
limited coinage of silver at a ratio
of Is to 1, regardless of interna-
tional agreement, when the party
resolves, upon its next national and

One of the incongruitics of Dem
ocratic legislation is shown in the
attempt to Tighten the burden Of
taxation by reducing import duties
and putting the load on again by
means of an internal tax. Having
found that the new tariff law is not
sufficient revenue producer, our
Democratic friends are now advo-
eating IN increase in internal taxa
ton as means of raising more
revenue. Shovcling off the load
with one shovel and throwing il
back with another will not lighter
the burden much. but will rather
have the tendency to make the
team balky.

AS the November elections draw
nigh. our Democratic friends are
becoming more and more pertnrbed
over the possible result of the elec
tions to be held in various States.
In Kentucky they have about con-
cedcd the defeat of their guberna-
torial candidate, Hardin, which
is attributed to his fanatic policy
on the money question. They are
still figuring on the success of they
balance of the ticket. In Mary
land they admit the result to be in
doubt, and when such admissions
emanatc from a Maryland Demo-
crat there must be something in
the wind. In the various northern
States that hold elections this fall.
there is only a doubt as to the size
of Republican majorities.

Missouri Needs to be Advertised.

Over in Illinois and up in Iowa
land sell for 800 an acre. So it
does in Indiana and Ohio and many
other States. Even in Kansas it
sells for $50. In Missouri it rare
ly sells for over $50. Why is this.
Missouri has better soil than any
Of them. 1t produces greater
variety and a larger amount of pro-
ducts to the acre, and has vaster
scope Of resources. 1t has besides
its fertile soil. mineral timber. and
water in excess of any Of these
States. 1t is the best located State
in the Union.

more money.

Native Country OF Indian Corn.

We believe that both the Japanese
and Chinese claims to have known our
so-called Indian corn for a thousand
.lears or more, but this does not IN
any way invalidate the story of its
American origin. 1t may have been
carried from this country to Japan
either by some person or in an aban-
doned canoe and, in fact, there are
various ways in which an ear or a few
grains of corn might have reached the
Eastern Nations. 1t was certainly cul-
tivated here and used for food by the
prehistoric races of this country more
than one or two thousand years ago,
because the charred and dried grains
of Indian corn, beans and pumpkin
seeds are found in many of the ancient
ruins of the homes of people who
lived here long before the Indians ap-
peared, or what we call the "red
men" began to roam over the Western
plains. New York Sun.

Creeping of Iron Rails.

It is a well-understood fact that
railroad rails, under certain condi-
tions, will move lengthwise for con.
siderable distance. This is due partly
to gravitation and partly to the jar
and push of the wheels of passing
trains. Where the travel is all in one
direction, the rails may move back
ward, unless there are frequent stops,
when the great strain on the wheels
from the brakes counteracts the back
ward tendency. On roads where there
are many up and down grades, the
wheels may pull so strongly upon the
rails as to cause them to creep up.
ward; and when the top of the grade
is reached, and the descent begins,
the tremendous grip of the heavy 10.
comotive is able to throw the rails be-
hind it, as it were, thus making them
creep upward from both sides of the
grade. 1t has been said that one rail
creeps faster than the other, and that
there are magnetic or other sientifio
reasons for the fact Unquestionably,
one rail does sometimes creep ahead,
but this is owing entirely to the fash.
ion of handling. The line.rail, as it is
called, receives the most attention and
is, as rule, much more securely fas-
tened than the gauge-rail, consequent
iy the latter is more likely to get out
OF bonds.-New York Ledger.
