There is probably no one department
of educational work more important
than that represented on Monday and
Tuesday evenings by the exercises of
the Ciceronian and Parthenian literary
societies. The power TO express ones
thoughts clearly and forcibly, or, as in
the case of declarations and readings,
to give to an audience the thoughts of
another in an interesting and impress
Sive manner, is a power for which it is
well worth the while Of everyone to
strive. In this line of work. the two
societies, which meet every Friday af-
ternoon, are occupied.
The boys society, the Ciceronian, be-
gan the week on Monday evening with
an excellent program. After song,

merit of being so condensed as to be not

On Sunday night the baccalaureate
address was delivered by Rev. {. IL.
Rockey in the Lutheran Church All
of the graduating class and most OF the
students of the school. accompanied by
the faculty, occupied a part of the church
that had been reserved for them, and II
large congregation filed the balance of
the room. Rev. Mr.. Rocky delivered
an earnest and eloquent address, filled
with practical advice and ennobling
ideas. urging upon his hearers the all
important duty of standing well in the
sight of God rather than in the eyes of
the world. He closed his sermon with
these words:
MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS
You now 90 down into the world My
closing appeal, and most important, is.
do not attempt to go down without
Christ BE Christians, giving the world
the benefit and yourselves the happiness
of "a life thoroughly cOnsecrated and an
mated by the spirit of the world 5 ideal,
the worlds hottest man. Remember
that the divine law of the highest is :
He is greatest who serves best both God
and man, who lives the nobleSt, most
Christ-like life You are not, therefore,
TO think SO much of what you are going
TO make of yourSelveS-to what emf
nences YOU are going to reach-as SIM
ply to live Alright the life that God has
allotted for you, and that is the highest
possible for any man. This will bring
YOU at the end where you ought to stand.
DO not be afraid of self-denial. The
earth has nothing good for men that
comes not by struggle and sacrifice. The
upward movement of life comes only to
brave hearts and strained nerves. Prov
idence may throw upon you important
and conspicuous service. But. however
large it may be, giving it the consecra-
ton of truly Christian manhood and
womanhood, God will diadem you in ii
by and by Then, however far you may
be scattered as you go forth into the
world, through whatever scenes you may
find your onward way, in whatever call
ingS YOU may labor, whatever trials you
NAV suffer. you will let every step be
moving more and more into what God S
love has provided for you; and at the
very end of the days, you will not only
have the Joy of standing in your lot, but
the more Christ-like JOY of having helped
others to stand in theirs. In all your
life. May the Lord bless thee and keep
thee; the Lord smile upon thee and be
gracious upto thee the Lord lift up the
light of his countenance upon thee. and
give thee peace. Amen

The Globe Democrat of the 14th
inst, in a well written article, calls
attention to the fact that the larg-
es territory in the state unoccupied
by railroads lies Immediately south
west of Washington County, which
is included therein. The article
also points out the unexcelled ad-
vantages this territory presents to
the railroad builder-the unoccu-
pied field, the vast timber and min
eral wealth that lies dormant be-
cause of its isolation; the stock
raising facilities; the fine fruit lands
which are now attracting SO much
attention. The northern, the west
ern and the southeast sections of
Missouri are fairly covered with
railroads, and in the future rail-
road builders must seek an unde-
veloped field, and will naturally
turn their eyes to this section.
immigration is rapidly filling up
the Ozark country and the need of
more railroad facilities is bccom-
ing imperative. We hope to see
the movement inaugurated by the
Globe Democrat vigorously carried
on until the vacant spot on Mis-
souri's railroad map has been cross
ed and recrossed with new lines.

1--WE substituted Clevelandism
for Democracy, and now Republi-
canism fifty supplements the whole.
-Ironton Register.
The Registers conclusion is apt
ly drawn, but biased by extreme
politics. Clevelandism means mug
wumpery, mugwumpery means
Democracy in a diluted form. True
Democracy has never stood any
show since the days of Buchanan,
and probably never will again, but
under the name of Clcvelan<lisln

the people were lead to accept
the diluted theories and doctrines
on trial. We have the result be-
fore us-Democracy no matter how
much alloyed or under what name
it is presented smells just as bad a<
the real article, and had to be re
jected after Il short trial us an unti,
and dangerous element for our peo
pie to deal with. Thus the return
to Republicanism was the only ant

A Move For Better FARMING.

We are in receipt of a pamphlet
describing the free winter course
in agriculture, horticulture and
veterinary science, beginning Janu-
ary 9, 1896, and continuing twelve
weeks, offered by the College of
Agriculture of the Safe University
at Columbia.
1t is the aim to give the student
the largest amount of thorough,
practical information about farm
ing, dairying, gardening, fruit
growing, veterinary science, carpen-
tering, blacksmithing and farm
bookkeeping possible in the twelve
weeks covered by the course.
No special preparation is requir-
ed for admission, and any one over
sixteen years of age is admitted
free of charge.
If such a course of study will
enable the farmer to conduct his
operations more economically, tc
to avoid costly wastes, and, in short,
farm more profitably-and there
seems to be no reason why it should
not-thcn this is matter of the
greatest importance to all who en-
gage in this industry.
Write to H. j. Waters, Dean, at
Columbia, Mo-, for full particu-
lars.

Ell PERKINS and Missouri Demo
crafts.

ELI PERKINS has a national rep
utation as picturesque liar, but
sometimes he gives us a some
simon-pure specimens of the truth;
whether he does it knowingly or
does it while he thinks he is lying,
we are not prepared to say. The
following interview with Eli was
printed in the Globe Democrat of
last Thursday.
Passed through St. Louis yester-
day, Eli Perkins, bound for Ken
lucky. As Mr.. Perkins had been
hobnobbing with the Democracy at
jeff City, Troy and st. 10, he was
asked how the Democrats felt about
losing Kentucky and Maryland.
'They feel pretty solemn" said
Eli. ''They feel that at the next
election Missouri will 90 over the
dam, too. When | asked Col.
Monson, of Sedalia, how the Dem
ocrats stood, he said:
"'We arc not altogether salts
fed, Eli, with the status. I'm
afraid we Democrats have not been
altogether right. I'm afraid Grov-
er has drawn our party into hole.
'How!' l asked.
We'll, he's done everything
wrong. The dogon Republicans
seem to be lucky, while Grover is
unfortunate. We kussed the Re-
publicans, but we have to confess
that they made prosperity for thir-
ty-thrce years and paid off $2,OOO,-
OOO, 900 of the national debt. And
what have we Democrats done?
Why, we've made bad times and
run the country into debt $500, 600,
600. While the dogon Republicans
had plenty of money to run the
government and keep the treasury
loaded with gold, we Democrats
are borrowing money from the
Jews of England at 4 per cent, and
national bankruptcy is staring us
| in the face"
"'What else are we Democrats
wrong about!' l asked.
| "'Well, we were wrong and
Grover was wrong in trying to
sink the Republic of Hawaii and
put a nigger on the throne. We
are off on Cuba. Spain granted
belligerent rights to jeff Davis,
and tried to kill us. If those dog
on Republicans were back in power
now | believe they'd pay Spain
back by granting belligerent rights
to Cuba. What a popular move it
would be! But we've got Grover
hanging around our neck. He is
dragging us Democrats down and
making us fight our own Demo
cratic Monroe doctrine. He keeps
US Democrats mad all the time
'''Yes,' said a member of the
Legislature, 'and we Democrats
have made hard times. Corn is
down to 15c and wool to 12c, and
we have paid $50, ,OOO, 900 in gold te

WE don't believe that Cleveland
deserves all the opprobrium that
is being heapcd upon him by the
Democratic papers which arc not
in line with the Presidents policy
on the financial question. The late
Democratic defeat cannot possibly
be attributed to the acts of any one
man; but must rather be attributed
to a continuation of party errors,
and consequent distrust on part of
the people of the party in power.
To make Cleveland the scapegoat
for the party's faults comes in bad
grace from men who a few years
ago held him up as the embodiment
Of all the virtues in pure politics.

No Surplus In Sight.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Novem-
Der misunderstanding the pre-
dictions of the Treasury Statisti-
clan, Worthington G. Ford, the
deficiency continues to grow. The
Government expenditures for July,
August, September and October
of this year exceeded the receipts
S16, 1876, ,335. November is going
to make still worse showing.
The deficiency is now $21, ,Ooo,o 900.
Mr.. Ford bases his expectation
that the Government will come out
even or nearly even this year on
the expectation of increased rev.
enues. There is no prospect
of curtailment of expenses. Not
many of the experts in the Govern
mcnt finance agree with MIR. Ford.
The most of them believe that re-
ccipts will decrease.
Imports will have to reach $685.
OOO,OO this fiscal year if the pres
ent rate is to be kept. Last year
the total of imports was 1871, 900, :
600 and the preceding year it was
$655, 100000. 1t seen.s unnatural
to count ON imports to the amount
of 1925, 900, 900 this year. The
imports for July, August, Septem-
Der and October were almost 20
per cent larger than for the cor
responding four months of the for
mer year, and yet the deficit for
those months reached $16, 4S6, 1886.
There was an encouraging increase
of receipts in July and August, but
it has not been maintained. The
fact is that each successive issue
of bonds has given a stimulus to
imports, which lasted short time
and left things in worse condition
than before. The United States
sold $5o,OoO,OoO of per cent
bonds in February, 1884, Fol-
November and December, 1898,
and January and February, 1894.
imports averaged scarcely $50, ,O0O,.
600, and in February were down
to $4s, 725, ,O94, but in March, the
month following the first bond
issue, imports jumped to $66. OIL :.

in December imports reached $62,

of the second bond issue wore off
