He Mourns for Buster.

Maj. Charles G. Gonter. veteran
Democratic politician and deer hunter.
wore an expression OF melancholy
when he put in an appearances at the
Laclede Hotel yesterday. He was
gloomy, and scarcely felt disposed to
shake hands even with his oldest
friends.
whats the matter, Major?n asked
Col Joe Griswold.
..Matter enough, confound IL" re-
torted the veteran. Every dog in
Reynolds County except my deer dog
Buster has been shot. and poor Buster
has been sold into the land of Egypt,
an Illinois farmer in the lower bottoms
getting him for a song"
Explanations were called for, and
the Major produced letter from his
friend, Col. Beyersdorff, OF Centrevsl,e,
the county seat of Reynolds County,
the Mecca of the Missouri deer hunters.
The letter stated that a mad dog in
that county had created a big scare by
running for miles and biting every
brute he met. Much alarm resulted,
and every dog in the county was killed
Buster, who was quarantined and kept
in close quarters for month by his
protector, Col. January. Fearing that
when he liberated Buster the people,
still alarmed over the mad dog Incl
dent, would shoot him, Col. January
sold him to Southern Illinois farmer.
Buster had the record of being the fin
est deer hunter in Sotheast Missouri,
and he rendered Maj. Gonter service
in killing several fine bucks.
Maj. Gonter declared that he would
recover Buster before he started on
his next hunting trip in the Southeast
if he had to dispose of his ST. Louis
County farm to pay the ransom

Imitation Nonsense.

| OF all the absurdities exhibited by
the opponents of free silver coinage,
their imitation cry is the most ridicu-
lous. Imitation applies to representa-
bank notes, treasury notes, warrants,
scrip and other forms of paper curren-
cy which may be redeemaole in coin,
and may not be-never to gold Or sill
yer.
| The worlds record of the two metals
goes back to the time of Abraham; but
never in any country. of any age, was
silver imitation heard of, except in the
United States, and about twenty years
ago.
Initiation means an excess of paper
promises to pay money. 1t does Lot
and cannot mean an excess of real
| money, for the simple reason that such
thing cannot be. History records
many strange and interesting facts
about nations, peoples and countries.
but it does not mention single case Of
a nation or country that suffered
from ar excessive supply of either. gold
Or silver money. For ages and ages,
peoples and nations have labored to in
crease their stock of metal money, sill
yer as well as gold, without ever sus-
pecting that they might overdo the
business. 1t was reserved for certain
.'financiers'' in the United States of
America in the nineteenth century OF
the Christian era to mrke the amazing
discovery. It is mentioned as one OF
the tokens of prosperity and splendor
of Solomon's reign over Isreal that
'.the King made silver in Jerusalem
as without exposing himself
to the charge of being an infationist.
There never was too much silver
money in any country, nor in the
pockets of any people-and there new
will be. For ages past it has been con-
sidered that every addition to the
stock of silver money in country, no
matter how large-the larger the bet
ter-was an advantage. And this is
as true to-day as it was in the days of
Solomon.
Silver is not thing to be redeemed
in something else. 1t is itself ulti-
mate or redemption money. II our
mints were to begin tomorrow coming
silver to their full capacity, aud keep
it up indefinitely, every field of enter
prise, every department of production
and consumption, and every effort for
the comfort of the people would instant
" and permanently reveal the benign
effects of the policy.-Post-Dispatch.

Whittier Are We Drifting,

From the following figures it would
seem that the sEr;t of intolerance is
not only alive but increasing. Thus
far in the year 1895, &c arrests and 10
imprisoments have been made. in the
United States, of Christian men whose
offense was that of exercising their
right to labor for the support OF them
selves and fanatics upon the tirst day
of the week. A remarkable part OF
this matter is that these men observe
the seventh day as the Sabbath.
Within the past year, the following
States haye used the police power
against this class of citizens: Mary
land, Tennessee, Georgia. Mississippi.
Florida, Massachusetts,, and Illinois.
By the men thus apprehended, 27O
days have been spent in prison this
present year. Have not these States
enough voluntary idlers, without en-
forcing idleness upon Industrious,
peaceable citizens?
The case of j. F. Rothrock. of West
Salem, ILL.,, whose arrest occurred May
90, has been appealed. j. @. Allison,
of whose case many papers have
spoken, was released while on the way
to Atlanta. Ca. to be sold to a chain
gang contractor for one year, his fine
having been paid by some unknown
friend.
Robert Whaley is now in a felon's
cell ir Centerville, Md, on 80 days
sentence from May %. for setting out
tomato plants on Sunday, having been
complaiaed of by church member
who regards that day as the Sabbath.
These men hold that the payment OF
their fine would be an acknowledge
ment that the fine was just, and also
the law which made it possible, and
for that reason refuse to pay the fines.

The Tobacco War.

the present war existing between the big
plug tobacco manufacturers is proving very
interesting for the consumers, they being the
only ones who are proflting by this war. The
manufacturers are unquestionably losing a
great deal of money, and and, as far as we
can see, the whole cause of the war is on
account of II brand Of plug tobacco called
"Battle AK which appears to be as power
full a weapon as its name implies. The man
ufacturers of Battle Ak claim it to be the
largest piece of high-grade goods ever sold
for the money. And the success Of the brand,
the enormous quantity which is being sold,
clearly demonstrates that the consumers have
not been slow detecting the fact that
they have a bargain. This has caused the
demand for other heretofore popular brands
to be greatly diminished. Hence the present
great tobacco war.
