We have been busy yester-
day and today Strengthening
out the Christmas tangle.
Nobody had time to be care
full, and the consequence is
the remnants of the holiday
stocks are tossed and tumbled
unused and wrinkled. The
qualities aren't hurt-but there
is no place for such a tumble
in our regular stock.
Our method of merchandise
ing leaves only one remedy
the prices-and we fall upon
those with an earnestness that
proves Our desire to clear the
counters without delay. You
must be tempted because the
offerings include the practi-
cal sort of gift goods that you
can turn to your own per-
sonal use. with the same sue
cess that you selected of
them for presents to others.
Under the new prices it is
bargain-buying that will be
done.

An Editors Life.

One of the beauties and charms
of an cditor's life is in his dead head
ing it Oh all occasions. No one
who has ever tasted of the sweets
Of that bliss can begin to take in
its glory and it's happiness. He
does 5000 worth of advertising for
a railroad, gets a pass for year;
rides S25 worth; and then he is
looked upon as dcad-head or half
blown dead-beat. He ''puffs'' a
concert troupe $40 worth and gets
81 in''complimentaries' and is thus
passed ''free." If the hall is
crowded, he is begrudged the room
he occupies, for if his compliment
taries were paying tickets the
troupe would be so much in pocket.
He blows and puffs church festi-
val free, to any desired extent, and
does the poster printing at half
rates, and rarely gets a ''thank
you" for it. 1t goes as part of his
duty as an editor. He does more
work gratuitously for the town and
community than all the rest of the
population put together, and gets
cursed for it all, while in many
instances a man who donates few
dollars to Fourth of July, base
ball club, or a church, is gratefully
remembered. Oh, it is a sweet
thing to be an editor; he passes
''free," you know.-Ex.

Estate Auditor Seibert has an
nounced himself a candidate for a
third term. If he don't look out
Bates County's son will out-Pace
him in the'r Butler ''Times."
The Butler "Times'' seems to be
ignorant Of the political history Of
james M. Seibert, the present
auditor of the State Of Missouri.
Seibert is not a candidate for a
''third term;' he is a candidate for
the seventh term for a lucrative
fiscal office.
Cape Girardeau County is the
most populous and wealthy county
in southeast Missouri. For six
year Seibert was collector of that
county, and for four years sheriff,
before going to Jefferson City.
(See Lesueur's Manuel, page 472.)
In 1884, emerging from these lu-
crative positions, he was elected
treasurer of Missouri. Hedgcd
about by constitutional provision
which prevented his succeeding
himself as treasurer, he performed
the acrobatic feat of jumping from
the treasurer's office into the audi
tors Office, in the same department
of the state government. No addi-
tional honor was conferred by the
change. In the auditors Office,
however, there are no constitutional
restrictions as to length of office.
and being It's occupant once, Sci
bert proposes to stay.
/ His political preferments may be
summed up as follows: Sheriff o1
Cape Girardeau County, and col

souri,, four years; auditor of Mis-
souri,, eight years. Fourth tern

but shortcoming and misfortune
ever since the beginning of the
present Administration. One blum
der has succeeded another with
cumulated detriment to trade and
industry. In not a single instance
has any profit been derived from
the policies Or proceedings of the
party in power. So far as new de-
vices have been introduced for adj
justmcnt of important matters they
have merely increased the measure
of trouble and made mockery of
the promise of improvement. That
is why the people flock to the polls
and deposit Republican ballots in
expression of their anger and
disgust over the manner in which
they have betrayed. They have
had enough Of Democratic rule,
and are determined to restore the
situation that existed when the Re-
publican party controlled the Gov
ernment.

silver question viewed from a NOR

gave it as our opinion that the
adoption of free coinage by our

The Cause of 1t.
H0.xY THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT.

FhtA fHG oIOo6 OEHOCHSf'
The Democratic papers are pre-
scnting various and ingenious thco-
ries to account for the catastrophe
which overlook their party last
Tuesday. These theories answer
a certain spacc-tilling purpose, and
may be useful as exercises in men
tai gymnastics; but they count for
nothing as practical and satisfac
tory explanations. 1t is very easy
to understands why the Republi-
cans won the victory. The con-
trolling cause Of this result is not
at all obscure or uncertain. As a
matter of simple manifest fact, the
people are sorely dissatisfied with
Democratic rule. and anxious to
get rid of it as soon as possible.
They voted the Democratic party
into power in 1892 as an expert
mcnt, and the experiment has
proven to be miserable failure.
The change that they hoped would
bring them certain general advan-
tages has had the effect, on the con-
trary, of dcranging their affairs,
damaging their interests, and re-
tarding their prosperity. In every
respect, it has turned out to be a
Disappointment, and the proof is
plain and complete that they made
monstrous big mistake when they
discarded Republican doctrines,
methods and purposes. They pro-
pose to rectify that mistake, and
they seize every opportunity to
express their hostility to the party
by which they have been SO shame
fully deceived and SO seriously
injured. That is the whole story,
and all other theories are fancifu
and inadequate.
| 1t is true that a lack of harmony
has prevailed in the Democrat,
ranks in most of the States, bu
these dissensions are really a par
Of the general state Of dissatisfac
ton, and serve to illustrate tn
folly and mischief by which tn
the country has been aroused
There would have been no dissen
sions if the party had been equa
to the work of conducting the busi
ness of the Government in safe
prudent and successful way. Thes
sources of weakness are expIana
tions only in the sense of shown;
that a party which is incapable il
the use of public authority is ais
incapable of so mangeing its ow
concerns as to maintain its ow
:. strength and promote its own we
fare. The glaring and conclusiv
+ truth is that there has been nothin

gives us credit for believing W,
are sincere in our views. In view
of the fact that the results Of tht
recent elections show that a large
majority of our people entertain
the same views, leads us to believe
that we are not altogether wrong.
The Register asks us string
of questions that it may be enlight-
ened as to the morality of the gold
unit Of value. The questions are
too many to be answered in detail, g,
however. l. is our belief that the
gold unit has morality on its side be-
cause it places both creditor and
debtor on equal footing, which
gives neither chance to fleece the
other. Under the single gold
standard loans will be made and
debts will be paid in the one money
of the land-the coin of the realm.
The argument that gold appre-
ciates in value because there is no
legislative ratio of, value establish
cd between gold and silver is mis-
leading-a fallacy, in fact. Gold
maintains an cquable purchasing
power because Of its rarity; the use
of gold as money for ages, where
actual value is demanded has prov
en- this to be'a fact. On the other
hand, silver, when left to stand on
its own basis or intl insic value,
as purchasing power, depreciates
of its own volition because of its
profusion.
The American people contracted
foreign debts payable in money of
our country when the debts fall due,
but some of these were made at a
time when the intrinsic value of sill
yer was nearly double, in its rela-
ton to gold, to what it now is.
This brings up the question Of the
morality. Under free coinage we
secure a dollar for Just about half
what it was worth at the time
the Indebtedness was incurred and
thus relieve ourselves of half the
obligation we are morally bound to
pay in full. If we thought this
was honest, would the creditor
also think it honest! We don't be-
lieve it. When he comes to rein
vest the money we have returned
to him and finds it has deprecated
so per cent, he will arrive at the
natural conclusion that he is the vic
tim of confidence game, and that
he has been swindled. This applies
to the native as we'll as the foreign
creditor.
We know the editor of the reg
lister" to be an extremist, and as
such his moral perceptions have
become somewhat blunted. Conse-
quently he would liquidate the gov
ernment's obligations at fifty cents
on the dollar at the cost of a little
national self-respect.

In the 18th congressional district
of Illinois the free silver question
was put to a fair and square test be-
fore the people, and the result
shows that there is a preponder-
ance of popular sentiment against
the adoption of free coinage of sill
yer. The district is normally a
Democratic one, but in 1894 it gave
Republican majority of 1000 in
conformity with the general land
slide of that year. Death made
vacancy in the district; hence the
election this year. Lane, the free
silver Democrat, was the man who
was defeated last year, but receiv-
ed the nomination a second time.
Hadley, the Republican candidate,
was for sound-money, as matter
Of course. All general issues were
dropped and the coinage question
was the sole issue Of the campaign.
The free silver men put their best
orators on the stump, even Mr.
Bland went over and made severa
speeches in the district. Whe1
the vote was counted Lane fount
himself defeated by 3Oeg majority
greater by 1000 than his defeat O.
1894. Such result is conclusive
and final that the people are not ii
favor Of free coinage.

IT is certainly amusing to hear
the different factions Of the Demo-
cracy preaching the necessity of
harmony in the party, yet neither
has the slightest intention of giving
in to the other. Each faction is
blaming the other for the recent
crushing defeat at the polls, and
instead of harmony growing apace,
the breach in the party is continu-
ally widening.
