fond of peace. bgt had q coed deal OF

\ Victim OF the Lobby.

The case of JeI Storts. recently
sentenced to the penitcntiary by one
of the st. Louis courts. should DC a
lesson to young men. Stort> was Il
bright. smart. companioaablc young
man when tbs people Of shannon
County sent him to represent them in
the Legislature. and it is probable
that his first serious departure from
the paths of rectituda was when. as a
law-maker. he became acquainted with
the corrupt horde OF lobbyists who
buy men as they do cattle. The am
bilious young lawyer then cast his
lot in ST. Louis and progressed stead
lily downward in the moral scale until
he finally lands in the penitentiary.
Had he remained honest and true and
turned his back upon temptation, ne
would to-day be- filling an important
position in tie world. Sedalia DEM

PENDANTS will lose their homes under

get into debt, but so hard to get out.
One of the greatest curses of the times
has been the ability Of the people to

to try to accumulate more. 1t has
been tAs. great disease OF the country.
and tho Speople of this nation have
been reaping some OF the fruits OF the
system. The great cancerous burden
of interest is one of the main causes
of existing hard times throughout the
country. The demands of interest and
the tax gatherers have swallowed up
the production OF the country. Our
railroads are mortgaged in Europe.
and the expectation OF gold is to pay
interest and coupon demands. If there
had net been the ability to borrow the
development Of the country would have
been slower and ii would have been
surer. Borrowing 10 acquire more

How Shall We FIJI Our strong Box!
President Clevcland's last message
to Congress is not creating the cnthu-
siasm that his Venezuelan message
did. In fact the people are already
beginning to ask whether the Venezu-
elan document was not sprung for the
express purpose of making an oppor-
tunity for presenting the last one.
That the financial result of the Ven
ezuelan message would be just exactly
what il has been every one knew. and
Mr.. Cleveland. of course, knew it AS
well rs the rest. i war scare always
drives clown the price of railroad and
governmental securities. This scare.
! too. was bound to cause an additional
/ drain upon the gold reserve. and this
/ Mr.. Cleveland also knew. Therefore,
right on top OF the Venezuelan mes
sage, ito spring another message ask
ing Congress, in Il crisis. 10 indOrsc
his former policy. which has all along
been considered questionable. leads
to the belief that the whole plan was
/ figured out in Mr.. Clcvrland's mind
in advance.
Dispatches from Washington state
that Mr.. Cleveland pcnned the last
message to Congress under the press
ure of statcsmcnts that Il conspiracy
mad been formed to raid the gold re-
serve and completely exhaust it. The
conspiracy, it was allied. was informed
in England. Well, even this would
not be surprising. What did Mr..
Cleveland expect when he promulgated
the Venezuelan Message? %Did he ex-
pect England and English capitalists
to sit calmly down and do nothing?
Not much He knew that thtA would
use all their power to bring financial
pressure to bear to stop any chances
of war, Just as the "Star-Sayings
predicted. And it was brought, and
then, after Congress had passed the
Venezuelan. Commission bill asked
for by Mr.. Cleveland, he comes back
to it with the plea that he has no
money and asks that his former finan-
cial policy be indOrsed. He even goes
SO far as to ask that Congress does
not take the customary holiday recess, |
but does something at once to let him
out of the whole.
That two messages. taken together
r1ace Mr.. Cleveland in a rather ride |
ulous light. AS Senator Mills said !
''The first thing to be looked after
when We talk of going to war is our
But, either Mr.. Cleveland |
did not do this at all, or else he twist |
ed the matter so as to make the idea. |
81 will talk of war in order to get |
permission to fill my strong box"
And now the question arises: How |
shall the strong-box be filled? 1t was
no easy task when prosperity was seen
returning and peace reigned. Now
that war is threatened and the resour-
ces of the nation stand a chance Of be-
ing taxed to their utmost. the problem
is much more difficult OF solution.
The burden of the task fails upon a
Congress. That it will |
finally solve the problem there is 70
doubt But will take time. In the |
meantime the financial situation is
bound to remain gloomy and unsettled.

Charles =. Wear taken to New
Madrid.
The scene OF war in the case OF
Charles i. Wear has for the presen;
been transferred from ST. Louis 10
New Madrid. Mo. where Wear is
wanted TO answer to the charge OF
mU rder. Monday night. after the
victory OF the afternoon for the State
in the Court Of Appeals. Wear was
turncd over 10 Sheriff Tickcll, of New
Madrid county. who took him 10 that
haco. This action gives rise TO the
question OF whciher or not Chief Of
Police Harrigal is guilty OF contempt
Of Judge Murphy court. Attorneys
Martin and Bass say he IL. while
other attorneys say n" is not, provia-
ing the prisoner is produced in the
Court Of Criminal Correction the day
he is wanted. The way the ease now
stands it is more complicated than
ever. involving several dispu'ed
questions. which the Supreme Cour
Of the United States may finally be
called upon to settle. Several years
may elapse before /; can be definitely
learned whether or not Wear is being
legally held prisoner.
Late Monday afternoon in the Court
or Appeals Judge Bombaur requested
Attorney Bass To withdraw his ap-
plication for writ OF habeas corpus
for the release Of Charles Wear. He
ruled that only one writ could be on
tertained at one time The one pend
ing in Judge Murphy's court was in
force until after the Supreme Court
had passed on the application Of At
tOrney- General Walker TO the Su-
preme Court for a writ OF prohibition
restraining Judge Murphy from is
suing a writ Of hab-as corpus for the
release Of Wear on the ground that
the Court OF Criminal Correctio1 lid
not have the proper jurisdiction.
Attorney Bass withdrew mis- appli-
cation and ended the battle in the
Court Of Appeals.
Attorneys Martin and Bass say. the
contempt of Judge Murphy's court
comes in through Chief Harrigan' g
allowing the prisoner, Charles Wear,
TO be taken out of st. Louis before
January :, when the writ of prohibi-
tion arguments come up in the Su-
preme Court: that tho application for
a writ OF habeas corpus holds good
until then and requires the police to
keep Wear in St. Louis until the affair
is finally settled one way or the other
Attorneys Richard Johnson, VIII
liam Fitzgerald and others say that
Chief Harrigan is not guilty of con-
tempt at present and will not be if he
produces the prisoner in the Court of
Criminal Correction if the Supreme
Court decides in favor OF Judge Muir
ply he will produce Wear in his court.
Judge Murphy, ewing to the fact
that his hands are at present tied by
by the Supreme Court. has nothing TO
say-Star Sayings.
