good Is to be gained by democrats dis
cussing the question Of free and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver at tho ratio OF l6
to Up We arc more than anxious to
know, as the question Of finances will
be managed and controlled exclusively
by the republican party during the
next session of congress. Why worry
and fret ourselves to death over a ques-
ton we cannot possibly get in reach
of.-Richmond Conservator.
Why, Of course, Brother Trigg, 1t
should not be discussed while the
republicans r In control, for the
same eason that the tariff, the vene-
zuelian question, the bond issue and
all the questions that come up should
not be discussed. For the same reason
that from 1889 to 1898, when the
republicans were in power, and when
the democrats were divided on the
tariff, that that question should not have
been discussed by democrats. Oh,
there are a hundred reasons for 1t,
Brother Trigg. But don't you think
IL we did not discusss this question
now. that when we did "get In reach
of 1t" we wonld not have it in reach of

The case OF State of Missouri against
Frank Scholl vas reversed and remand
ed for a new trial by the supreme court
last Tuesday. Scholl was convicted of
an assault with intent to commit rape
at the October term, 1898, OF the criminal
court, and sentenced for a term of two
years in the p~enitentiary. There was
twelve grounds OH which counsel asked
for a reversal of the Judgment. One
ground was that there was 10 evidence
to support the verdict and no evidence
on WHICH to predicate a conviction for
an assault with Intent to commit rape.
The supreme court said: From all the
facts disclosed, we do not think defen-
dant intended tn have sexualintercourse
with Mrs. IIupman at all hazards and
against her will. In fact the evidence
was to the contrary" The case will DO
for trial at the next term of our criminal
court. John S. Blackwell Il Son and
John Welborn were the attorneys for
Scholl In the criminal court and In the

A COnditiOn-NOt q Theory.

There are all sorts of theories in
finance and all sorts of opinions as to
their practicabilitv, a y the Mexico
Intelligencer. The wisest men may
and do differ as to theories but the
unlearnedmay comprehend a condition.
The advocates of '.sound money
have persistently insisted for The three
past years that the restoration OF con-
fidence would bring a revival OF
business-that there was an abundance
of currency in the country and that
all that was needed To put 1t into
circulation in the agricultural states
was Il good crop.
lyon can get money unless you
have something TO SELL" has been the
plausible argument of the men who
insist that the policy of currency con-
traction was not detrimental to the
producing and labOring classes.
s.When you have something to sell or
good security to offer you wilr always
find some one with money to buy"
has peer told the people over and
over again.

plenty there Is no relief from The
financial distress which hangs like u
pail over the producing state.
Even at prices which are below the
actual cost of production there are
practically no buyers for the surplus
products of the farm.
Whatever may be your theories, this
is the condition. Every farmer, trader
merchant, business man of whatever
calling. every laborer knows it.
There is such a thing as making a
dollar too good. giving It a purchasing
value that cheapens to a ruinous point
labor and the products of labor. There
NAV be an abundan e of none in the
financial centers, but Its investment is
not in directions which helm or relieve
the people.

ANTI
Petition the State Committee
to Set Aside the Instruc-
tons in the Fertile
Springs Platform.
THEY ASK A LATE CONVENTION
Because They Want Time for Dis
cussing the Question of Free
Silver" So They Say.

There are some a~nti-snappers in La
fayette county, too. They want the
Pertle Spring platform ignored, in part
at least, and they are trying to get this
done by petition. The large majority of
the men who signed the petition are
friends of this paper. They are demo-
Gratis of good type and the most of them
will vote the ticket straight ever at 16
to l.. The petition which these gentle
men signed is as follows:
Hon. c. G. Mafit. Chairman State
Central Committee-Sir: The under
signed Democrats believe there is neither
necessity, occasion or place for two
Democratic organizations in State OF
Missouri.
To secure the success of the party
rather than'the triumph of any faction,
full and fair opportunity should be &C
corded for discussing the question of
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
at a ratio Of Is to 1, and to that end We
respectfully request that your honorable
committee call the State Convention for
the election of delegates to the National
Democratic Convention of 1896 at a time
and for a date that will permit a full
presentation Of this important question
to the Democratic voters of Missouri.
We do not believe q State Convention
for the election of delegates to q national
| convention should be called before that
national convention is called by the
National Democratic Committee. Such
q course would be irregular, in violation
of the unwritten laws of the party, and
undemOcratic.
For 20 years past no Democratic con-
veDtiOn for the election of delegates to a
national convention has been held in
| Missouri at a date earlier than May IL.
The convention of 1884 was held June
mOcracy achieved its first victory in %
years.
For 20 years past the State Democratic
national delegate convention at a date
call was issued April IL.
There is every reason why the prece-
dents and usages of the party in this
respect should be observed at this time.
The Democratic party in Missouri Is
now divided on the monetary question;
the longer 1t is permitted to confer and
deliberate the more likely it is to become
| unified.
We believe that time will enable the
d%iscOrdant elements of our party in the
state to become harmonious, and that
mutual consideration and f~Orbearance
or the part of democrats will empower
them to save Missouri from the fate
which has followed upon party distrac-
tons In Kentucky, Maryland and other
Democratic strOn0hOlds.

OPENING OF THE NEW GRAND"


On Monday evening December 9th,
1895, the prettiest and most modern
little opera house in the state of Mis-
souri, will he formally opened in the
city of Lexington. The celebrated
LOUIS James, in Othello, will open the
''New Grand" and there ought not to
be a aca seal in the house.
Tickets will soon be on sale at Leroy
Farmers drug store, and no ticket will
he sold ut less than five dollars.
Louis James does no appear in
places OF this size except on IN extra
ordinary occasion. This is an extra
ordinary attraction, and an extraordi-
nary occasion and should be witnessed
by an extraordinary audience. Kansas
City will not have a better attraction
this season. Many Lexingtonians 60
to that city often to see the attractions.
To see Louis James in Kansas City 1t
would cost an individual $3.50 for
railroad and street car fare, $50 for
a ticket and $3.50 for hotel expenses,
making a total of &C. 80 outside of
other expenses usually incurred on
such trips. From this it must appear
that for this occasion $500 Is reason
able for a ticket to II large number of
our people who have been attending
Kansas City theatres. But it is not q
question as to whether this one attrac-
ton is worth the price Of the tickets SO
much as it IS whether or not Lexington
appreciates its new opera house, and
will on Monday night. Dec. 9Th, show
that appreciation by its patronage.
Messrs. Chanslor and Waddell have
spent $40, 900 in remodeling the opera
house. They have agreed to pay Louis
James $4,000 to open it. While this
Is in its strictest sense q private enter
prise 1t nevertheless IS q public bene-
faction. Unless there is q large num-
Der Of seats sold on the opening night
the builders of the house are going to
lose some money. Every opera house
builder depends on the opening enter
tainment for q part of the capital in
vested. This is right. A fine opera
house in many respects is a public IN
slitption and they are always built
q view of realizing q goodly
lint on the first entertainment.
Eington has long needed q good
opera house. The most hopeful of us
did not anticipate such q n IS 4
being erected. We will loon have q
fine one, and let's show our apprecia-
ton of it. We who have taken our
friends to the old barn on commence
ment day and had our cheeks mantled
with bushes because it was s'our best''
ought not to refuse to buy tickets for
the opening entertainment. We who
have answered the question, "What
kind Of an opera house have you In
Lexingtonp" should buy tickets. We
who have heard the jeers and slurs
that have been slung at our old opera
house should buy them, and lastly,
those of us who have any recollection
Of the uncomfortable seats and dingy
old surroundings at the old house will
buy tickets. These four classes embrace
enough of our citizens to make .
respectable showing at the opening of
the '.New Grand Opera House" at
Lexington, Mo-, in the year Of grace,
1895.
