This country is in more danger Of
an armed despotism today than it was
Ia 1865; for the people are demoralized,
inundated. already slaves in spirit.
These various aggressions Of the
United States Supreme Court are
simply "feelers," thrown out to ascer-
tain how far Plutocracy can 20 with
safety. And certainly the patience
with which the people submit to each
new deprivation of their ancient
rights is enough to encourage them to

among the farmers and mechanics:

THOSE INSURANCE COMPA MES
We get great many letters like the
following:
TRIUMPH, Mimi, June II, '95.
Hon. l. Donnelly, Dear Sir: Please
let me know how it is with the Mime
sofa State Farmers Insurance Com
pany, whether or not it is vet in ex-
istence. Some of my neighbors gave
notes for hail insurance some four
years ago, and have never heard Of the
notes until now. Are they still in your
hands? Trusting to hear from you by
return Of mail, remain yours frater-
nally. JOHN T1LLMAN.
We have already stated that the
Fire Insurance Company referred to
has been for some months in the
hands of a receiver. The members
did not pay up their assessments
partly in consequence Of the hard
times. Those who are insured in the
company should at once insure else
where, as in case of fire it is doubtful
il anything could be collected.
The Hail Insurance company died
of too much hail, three or four years
ago. 1t ought TO be in the hands OF a
receiver also; and we doubt the right
of anybody to collect the mutual notes
given, unless it was made to appear
that the proceeds would be applied pro
rata on all the debts of the company.
We would advise the giyers of the
notes not to pay, but demand a receiv-
err.
Neither The REPRESENTATIVE nor
its editor has anything to do with
either company. and has not had for
several years past.
These mutual enterprises are we'll
enough il all hands honorably stand
together; but ii they do not it is up
hill work.

Every plutocratic paper in the land
has had dozen or more notices Of the
raise Of 10 per cent in wages in the
Carnegie iron mills. But the cuts
have been several times ID per cent,

stand in and pay part Of the raise, SO
it will enable them to pull the wool

Yes; and when they put up the

THE COMMITTEES DUTY,
The old members of the State


The old members of the State
cratic Central, Committee have aeted
exceedingly wise in accepting as Official
the actions of the Pertle Springs con-
vention. But they must not make it
appear thai they have made any sacri-
fee. They have only done what good
democrats in their position are duty
bound TO do, i. e., needed the party's
mandates. But be this as Il may,
there is no longer two wings of our
State Committee. Harmony should
from this Time characterize its actions,
and harmony can easily exist ii the
committee does Its duty.
The committee will find its instruc-
lions for its years work in fine Fertile
Springs platform, the last authorita-
tive document issued by the Missouri
democracy. The party gave the COM
mands ut Pertle Springs, and it ex-
poets its generals TO execute them. 1t
gave all of the factions to understand
that it expects to hold its convention to
nominate delegates to the national
convention on or before April 10, 1896.
II our gold friends think that
EIGHT MONTHS NOTICE IS snap judg-
ment, they will have to make the most
of it. If they want to make a cam
paign of Missouri, they have an album
DANCE of time. There has been no
undue advantage taken.
II the Pertle Springs convention had
desired to take snap judgment, II
would have elected nineteen new men,
bers Of the committee pledged to an
early convention, left out its instruc-
tions, and then with this nineteen-a
majority Of the conimittee-it could
have had the convention called, with
simply enough notice to have adver-
tised the date and gwen the counties
time to elect delegates. But the con-
vention served notice eight months in
advance of the time it expected the
convention held-enough time for the
gold men to campaign the state three
times over.
The cry about snap Judgment is
made out Of the whole cloth, and such
melo-dramatic clap-trap won't fool
anybody. Let the Democratic State
Central Committee pin its faith to the
Pertie Springs Instructions, and then
carry them out without condition.
The democracy Of Missouri spoke at
Pertle Springs not to be heard, but TO
be needed.

bride He has made sixteen out of thirty
Of his herones under twenty years of
age, and but three of them over twenty.
To-day the consp icuous character in
the modern novel is not allowed to come
into the presence of the public until after
she has left the twentieth birthday well be-
hind and in many cases has had season
or two of married life to help form her
character.
The caustie dean of st. Patrick's
wondered in print: How angels look at
thirty six" and in his day and generation
was hugely enjoyed because of that same
smart query. The time has long since gone
by when a woman over twenty is classed
as passe in Washingtonsociety as elsewhere
in the large cities of the world. George
Lewes wrote in his life of Goethe that a
woman of thirty-three has reached the
fascinating period OF her life when the
full development OF mind and body are
attained. This fact, true of the women
who ruled the destiny line of Goethe's
life, is equally true of those women of
today who, still remaining unmarried
are classed among the girls of society"
In the ma jority OF cases the fact that a
woman has not made an early marriage re-
suits in adding to her charm of manner the
sayoir faire that is so great an addition
to the woman of the world. The fact that
she has been spared the cares and annoy
ances OF bringing up family and the at
tendant train of household worries en-
ables her to make the most of herself, to
develop her talents, and round ont TO per
fection the graces of manner that are
natural or acquired.
She has learned the art OF listening in
telligently and of making herself in every
way q charming companion. Whether
or not her cup OF happiness has been as full
as that of the woman who has acquired
some undesira BILE wrinkles thinking for
the welfare of her home full OF little ones
, is quite another side of the question,
that does not come within the scope of this
article At all events the shyness and
gaucheries of extreme youth are her por-
ton no longer, and the average society
girl OF to-day is a vastly better tutored
creature in a worldly sense than her sis
ters of long ago, who swooned at the sight
of mouse, went into mysteries whenever
their royal wills Were crossed, could
hardly write a properly spelled letter,
had never heard OF the higher education OF
woman, the right of franchise, or defined
the scope of woman's Kingdom.
Washington to-day undou btedly leads the
world of America in tie matter of society
since the traces of provincialism, so ap-
parent even in New York's blue tblooded
set, has been eliminated 10 a great degree
| by the cosmopolitan population of the in
ter season. 1t is therefore of the wealthy
| young women of Washington that the world
