MISSOURI BANKERS,
They Declare Against Going it Alone
on Silver at Sixteen to One.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, June 19.--The
second days session of the State
Bankers Association convened mt 10
O'Clock this morning. The attendance
was augmented to about 40. From z
to 10 O'Clock the visitors were taken
in carriages over the CITY.
Everyone was disappointed because
there was no discussion over the sill
yer question. The matter was called
up by the president, and after a wait
of 10 minutes, and no signs of oratory,
the Committee on Resolutions were
allowed to report. This committee
was composed of De Lacey Chandler
of st. Louis, William T. Baird of
KirksviIle, DIR. w. 8. Wood of Kansas
City, @. w. Harris of Auxyasse and
G. w. Bullen of St. Louis, and it unan-
imously reported the following,
which was adopted:
"IVhercas, The bankers of the State
have their interests indissolubly con-
nected with the financial prosperity
of the people of the State, whether
they be farmers, manufacturers or
wage-earners.
RESOLVED, That we believe it to
the interests of the people of this
State to use in their business as good
money as any other people in the
world have, and that it is against their
interests to use any deprecated dol
lar, whether it be gold, silver or
paper; that we are opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of Is to 1 unless the other
leading nations of the earth adopt the
same ratio; that we favor limiting the
coinage of silver so that the Govern
ment which issues it as money and re-
ceives it for public dues may be able
at all times to maintain its parity or
exchangeability with gold; that we
favor the preservation of the existing
standard of values, with such use of
full legal tender silver. coins and
paper, convertible into coin on de-
mand, as can be maintained without
impairing or endangering the credit of
the Government or diminishing the
purchasing or debt paying power of
the money in the hands of the people.
The vote on the resolution was AZ
yeas, against s nays. Quite a number
of the bankers were out of the hall
preparing for a steamboat excursion
when the vote was taken, but had
been present the result
would have been the same. In fact,
it was rather a surprise that eight
bankers voted against the resolution.
There was no debate

A Railroad Mans PRAYER.

From the st. Louis Christian Advocate.
An old railroad man vas converted,
the story goes, and was asked to
lead in prayer. This is the way he
worded it: go Lord, now that have
tagged Thee, lift up my feet from the
rough road of life and plant them safe
ly on the deck Of the train of saliva
ton. Let me use the safety-lamp,
known as prudence. Make all the
couplings in the train with a strong
link of Thy love, and let my hand
lamp be the Bible. And, Heavenly
Father, keep all switches closed that
lead off on the sidings, especially
those with n blind end. o Lord, If 1t
be Thy pleasure, have every semaph-
ore block along the line show the
white light of hope, that / may make
the III of life without stopping. And,
Lord, give us the ten commandments
for a schedule: and when / have fin
ished the schedule time, pulled into
the great dark station of Death, may
Thou, the Superintendent Of the Uni
verse, say: "Well done, thou good and
faithful servant; come and sign the
pay roll and receive your check for
eternal happiness"

ANNUAL LOG ROLLING.
The Modern Woodmen of America
Meet at Mexico, Mo-, July 8 and 4.
From the Mnberlv Monitor

from the moDefly monitor.
The Northeast Division of the Mod
ern Woodmen meet this year at Mex
leo to enjoy their annual festivities
combined with business. The Wabash
will grant their usual reduced rates for
the occasion and a glorious time is
anticipated at the Log Rolling. We
are informed that quite a number
from Moberly Camp 21O9 will attend.
A meeting was held last night at their
hall and before adjournment it was
decided to meet again next Tuesday
night to perfect all necessary arrange
ments. Judging from the grand ap-
pearance made by the local camp of
Woodmen in the parade one year ago
Fourth of July in this city, Northeast
Missouri will make a grand showing at
Mexico on the 3rd and 4th of July.
Moberly might have secured the Log
Rolling this year, with probably 500
Woodmen in line, but the lack of con-
cert of action Mexico carried off the

TO OPEN THE GREAT CANAL.
Influx of Visitors at Kiel to Witness
the Grand Spectacle.

HAMBURG, June 17.-There has been
an enormous influx of visitors here to
view the ceremonies and spectacles
incident to the opening of the Baltic
North Sea canal at Kiel. Great prep
arations are now in hand upon the
eve of the event, and the decorations
are being placed on every hand and
Nominations made ready for the
nights. According to orders by the
navy department at Washington the
American men-of-war at Kiel will be
illuminated by electricity every night
during their stay at thatport. 1t is in
tended that the cruiser New York
shall be provided with a,ooo mean
descent lights, and each of the three
remaining ships will have about 1900,
besides the usual powerful search
lights.
The canal will be opened by Prince
Hohenzollern breaking a thread across
the entrance of the canal. The royal
reception rooms in the Kiel station,
in which Emperor William will re-
ceive the German nations guests, have
been decorated and fitted out after
the style of the state rooms in the
Imperial yacht H~ohenzollern. The
waterway opened by the new canal
has been navigable for small vessels
for over 100 years.

The Home Newspaper Should Be Clean.

IpLA me GCHoPaPCI manu-
We wonder sometimes, says the lola
(Kas.l Register, how many parents
realize to how great an extent the
moral character and the habits of
thought as well as the opinions of
their children are influenced by the
home newspaper which comes into
the family and is read from beginning
to end by every member of it.
Those who do not realize this can
certainly not be too careful of the
newspaper that they admit to their
homes.
A greater misfortune a hardly be
imagined for a young man or woman
than to be brought up under the in
tiuence of a newspaper that sneer at
everything, holding neither religion
o morality nor private character sa-
cred; that complains in every issue
about the injustice of the laws or the
venality of the courts; which declares
that the only possible fate for a man
who starts out poor i'll this country is
to keep on growing poorer; which
teaches in effect that the Government
of the United States is something
apart from the independence of and
hostile to the people; which fills it's
columns with slangy expressions, with
vulgar jokes and personal abuse of
political or business rivals.
How can a child, reading such a
newspaper week after week, fail to
grow up into low-bred, impure minded,
scoffing, discontinued and unpatriotic
manhood or womanhood?
The test to apply to a newspaper is
the test you would apply to a man.
Would you want q man to come into
your family circle and crack doubt
full jokes and pour out continuous and
vile abuse upon men who are your
friends, and denounce the laws of
your country as "conspiracies" against
the people, and demand that the chill
dren of a poor man had no chance to
better their condition, and criticise
and complain and find fault from one
weeks end to another?
Would you want such a man to be
your child's most intimate and infiu-
entail friend?
If not, then you don't want the pa
per that has his counterpart.
No child should be allowed to read
a paper that is not clean and cour-
apeous and hOpeful and patriotic.

HENRY CLEWS ON SILVER.
Opposes Free Coinage for Ten Reasons
Here Set Forth.

NEW YORK, June 19.-The Chamber
of Commerce has asked a number of
representative men in various pro-
fessional lines to say why they oppose
free silver coinage.
Henry Clews sent ten reasons, which
are: Because it would debase a large
and ultimately controlling portion of
our circulating medium, drive out gold,
contract the volume of our money, re-
duce the bullion value of silver, make
paper money faI to the same value as
the silver dollar, create the most
sweeping monetary revolution in his
tory, depress prices and wages, dimin-
ish the means of debtors to pay debts,
break up our foreign commerce and
ruin the credit and the reputation of
the United States, and because no eff
fective restraints could be enforced to
confine coinage to the home product.

SHADY" M'CLANAHAN DEAD.
An Eccentric Character OF Independ-
ence-Once Lived in Mexico, Mo.
From the Kansas City Star =.

AAoLA SAC iAoA4oao >lb9 sSAdts
Ben McClanahan, a well known
character of independence Mo, where
he was familiarly known as "Shady,"
died this morning of congestion of
the lungs. He was halfwitted, about
40 years of age, and until seven years
ago was a confirmed drunkard. About
that time "Shady," while intoxicated,
fell out of a second story window to
the stone sidewalk and broke nearly
every bone in his body, and when he
recovered with the aid of DR.. Bed
he joined a church and took the
pledge. He kept his promise OF
teetotalism, and was a conspicuous
character on the court square with
his temperance ribbon floating in the
air. He was a pauper and n of his
eccentricities was the levying of dues
on his acquaintance. He was in the
habit of collecting five cents a week
from twenty or thirty of his friends,
and on that he lived. He was a son
of Judge James McClanahan, n of
the pioneers of Jackson County, and
very prominent in ante bellum days.
His uncle, Port McClanahan, was
postmaster at Independence some
years ago, and his cousin, Dave Nc
Clanahan, is Deputy Circuit Clerk.

Round 10 BE a Success.

The Horse Revietp of Chicago, the
leading harness horse journal in the
United States, says:
With such splendid officers as are In
charge for 1895, the Mexico, Mo-, Fair
Association cannot fail of success, and
the meeting to be held July So-August
5, over the fast kite track should de-
velop some of the greatest racing
the west ever had. The people OF
Mexico and vicinity have always sup
ported a fair in an admirable man
ner, and made the town n OF the
best racing points in the country,
even in the days when the only track
was a slow half-mile course. The
purses offered this year are liberal,
the classes are well balanced, the a
ISOLATION has excellent financial back
ing and everything pertaining to the
coming meeting has a bright, business
like appearance.

j. E. SIMS LETTER.
The Chairman of the Audrain County
Central Committee Joins in the
Issue of q Call. .

The following letter was mailed last
week to the Chairman of the Demo-
cratic County Committees in Missouri:
DEAR SIR-The perilous situation
confronting the Democratic party in
Missouri demands the thoughtful and
unselfsh consideration of every man
who has been entrusted with party
leadership. This letter is addressed
you in hope that steps may be taken
to avert serious party rupture and
possible party defeat.
AS chairmen of the County Com
mittees of Audrain, Boone and Gala
way, we ask you to meet with us at
the Planters House in st. Louis on
Thursday, June 20, at s O'Clock p. M,
to consider the best plans for securing
a state convention through the rcgu~
lar party method. The purpose is to
secure a conference of the Chairmen
of the Committees from twenty-five
of the largest Democratic counties and
endeavor to have the State Committee
reconsider its recent action and per-
nit the people to assemble in state
convention, as they didin Illinois, and
voice in a regular and binding way
their sentiments on the financial ques-
ton. AS friends of silver coinage we
feel that whatever action is taken
must be regular to be effective.
You will please consider this letter
confidential until the meeting in st.
Louis on the Goth. Our idea is to meet
at s O'Clock Thursday evening and
conclude the conference that night SO
that those who desire may return
home on the morning trains. Please
advise Mr.. s. B. Cook, member of the
Democratic State Committee, at once
at Mexico if you can be at the con-
ference.
Hoping that we may be able to take
such action as will prevent party dis
aster, we are sincerely,

ty.

Last summer III of our grandchil-
dren was sick with q severe bowel
trouble. Our DOCTORS remedies had
failed, then we tried Chamberlain's

which gave very speedy relief. We
regard it as the best medicine ever put

cine ever put on the market for dysen-

ABSOLUTELY pURE

- A@A4S
The st. Joe (Mo.) News, says: Fer
those conservative silver men who
want to Bee a restoration oil silver
coinage, but upon a ratio established
by international agreement, the New
York World has some comforting
news. 1t reports that the emperor of
Germany stoutly adheres to his pur-
pose of bringing about an information
al monetery conference. That his
people are with him the recent votes
in the imperial parliament and the
Prussian diet leave no room for doubt.
1t reports that in England the growth
or bimetaliic sentiment Is continuous,
and it includes some of the most in
huential financial experts of the king
dom. The Bimetallic League has al
ready collected over $3.50, 900 for it's
propaganda. Among the subscribers
are two directors of the Bank of Eng
land. In Great Britain the monomet-
allists are frightened and organizing.
these circumstances the World
asks;
Now, what ought Americans to do
under UGH circumstances? The time
is manifestly ripe or ripening when
European nations, with England at
their head, will be ready to join with
us in an effort to restore silver as a
money metal under an international
agreement which shall rob the resto-
ration of all elements of danger.
Is it the part of wisdom at such a
time for us to undertake independent
free coinage? Is it wise for us on the
other hand now to determine upon a
policy of gold monometallism? Is it
prudent for us to institute a political
between two monometal-
lisms at a time when the international
that We have been so long
seeking is SO nearly within our grasp?
Is it not rather our policy and our
duty to wait and to encourage In every
possible way the new international
conference which Germany wants and
for which England is SO manifestly

ALTGELD's COSTLY ERROR.
The Governor Forgot to Provide for
Extra Session Expenses in
His Call.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, June 19.-Mem-
bers of the Legislature have already
begun to return for the extra session,
called by Governor Altgeld, but a SER
ious contingency has arisen. 1t APP
pears that the Governor omitted from
the list of subjects for consideration
any mention of an appropriation to
pay the expenses of an extra session.
AS the matter now stands, neither the
House nor Senate Ear employ any
clerks, doorkeepers, policemen, jan
itors or other essential attaches.
Representative Berry said to-day
that he could see no way out of the
muddle except for Governor Aitgeld
to prorogue the general assembly and
issue a new call. To do this may cost
the state S15, 1000. AS every member
is entitled to mileage, this will average
about s25 per member and make a
total of over 5000. Then each mem
Der is allowed $50 a session fcss STA
