STOP WRANGLING,

The lNTELLIGENCER insists that it is
high time for democratic wrangles to
cease. A national, state and county
campaign is IN the " of opening. 1t
will be useless for the party in Missouri
to go into the campaign in its present
condition. With democrats fighting
democrats on every hill top, defeat will
be certain. 1t will take all the old
time democrats and II number of new
ones to carry Missouri.
The differences in the State Central
Committee and among the leaders
must be settled. Mr.. Maffitt must
relegate his personal opinions and
listen to his party. MIR. Jones, of the
Post Dispatch, must cease interview
ing every fool that goes into st Louis.
and then treating these interviews as
expressions of the party sentiment of
the state. Mr.. Farris, of Laclede,
must be sent to the rear, where loud
mouthed demagogues belong. MIR.
Hall should be given to understand
that IN his righteousness and bonn
bast he has no sympathy from straight
democrats. Some of the gold bugs
must be taught the n. b. c.'s of democ-
racy. Sixteen to one advocates and
gold bugs must use some discretion.
Compromises, as much as we may
detest them, are better than demo-
cratic defeat,

More Election Cases.

From the Kansas City Journal.
The grand jury, now In session at
Independence, will take up election
frauds Monday. anda horde of witnesses
has been subpoensed with that end In
view. An attempt was made by the
grand jury to enter into election frauds
Wednesday, bot the much needed wit

1t was known yesterday that the grand
jury sent for papers In the possessio nof

enter into the investigation. awaiting
the outcome Of the trials at Lexington.
When the grand jury adjourned over
until Monday 1t was with this sole end
In view. and it was freely predicted ON
the streets Of Independence yesterday
that the grand jury had in hand the May
and Moran cases, together with a kindly
interest IN other North end prestidigita-
tors not yet caught In the meshes of the
law.
A member Of the grand jury said
yesterday: I'VE adjourned over until
Monday simply for the reaso that we
thought 1t better to wait until the Lex
ington trials were over" The juror
did not express himself further to the
reporter.
Just before the adjournment it was
learned from authentic sources nearly
all the witnesses at the Lexington trial
would be summoned during the earlier
portion Of next week, and that 1t was
the intention to 20 fully into the inves-

THE BRIDGE.

Before another issue of the INTELLI-
GENcER goes to press the Lexington
bridge question will, perhaps, be settled
forever. The story of success or failure
will have been told.
Lexington's future lies wrapped up
in the actions of her citizens within the
next week. II common sense, loyalty
to public duties, as we'll as just regard
for private interests, prevail, it will be
but q short time before the Missouri is
bridged and thousands of acres of fer
tile territory, dotted here and there
with as prosperous citizens as the sun
smiles on, Will be placed in easy access
Of a city of, perhaps, ten thousand
Inhabitants, located on two or more
grand trunk lines of railroad. and in
habited by = happy aud prosperous
people.
On the other hand, if Lexingtonians,
regardless of their interests, unmindful
of the future Of themselves and those
to whom they have been bound by ties
of lifelong association and friendship,
throw away the best efforts that have
ever peer made IN the interest of any
city, abandon the bridge and let 1t be
advertised to the world that they sue
cumbed after a long and difficult fight
before a visionary obstacle;
then they may be prepared for an
exit of the most prominent citizens; q
decrease in property values, and a
painful overpluss Of empty Offices, bust
ness houses and residences; for poorer

ers, poorer lawyers. inefficient physi-

SENSATION IN JOURNALISM,

Sensation in journalism has almost
run to seed. The average daily paper
Is breaking it, neck trying to "scoor"
its contemporaries on some sensation
that ought never appear in print or be
d,gniied enough for publication. The
ordinary daily newspaper Is not a fit
companion for children in the home.
Our ministers and ssreformists" are
eternally crying out against the dime
novel, cards, the dance hall, etc.
but It Is seldom We hear any
attention being paid to the sensa-
tional rot - Of suicides, murders,
rapes, scenes In houses of disrepute,
testimony in rape cases in full, and all
the obscene events Of the day-making
f~rlvolity Of crime, communicating the
consciences of youths, lending their
influence to corrupt virtue in every
form, that make their way into the
homes through the channel of the daily
paper.
The I~NTELLIGENCER Is proud of the
fact that It is published in q land Of
free speech and free press; but 1t
regrets that the great newspaper
makers Of today are communicating
society by creating and supplying q
taste for the sensational. Journalism
Of today is crying aloud for strong
men. men who will make papers that
. be read in every home, and which
will leave 81 impress for good upon
the minds of all who read them.
Clean newspapers will pay. Childs,
the greatest Of editors, demonstrated
this. What he did can be duplicated
by every editor in the known world,
I. g., to edit = clean, honest newspaper.
The public did not create the demand
for sensation; It raj created by the
papers. 'Tis true this demand has
become Of strong proportions. and it
looks like It is impossible TO stem the
tide with a clean paper, but this is moi
the case. There are o good people
than bad ones. There are thousands
Of people in Missouri who would
patronize q clean paper and who would
contribute generously to its support.
How much better off would have been
this country IL all the rot about Breck-
inridge had not been p%ublishedP Who
can answerp And this Is but one of the
Of cases Of its kind. The
newspapers ought not be prohibited by
law from publishing such matter, but
public sentiment should put an end
to It.
The weekly intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1891-1901, 1895-11-09

Il Is the turning point in her history.
Down goes the bridge; down goes
Lexington. Up goes the bridge; up
goes Lexington.
We do not pretend to know the exact
status of the bridge affair; we do not
believe any one else In Lexington
knows except the bridge directory. For
reasons sufficient the meetings Of the
board have been held behind closed
doors and the deliberations Of that
body not repeated to any one.
Next Tuesday, at 2 O'Clock, there
will be a mass meeting at the court
house of all the subscribers and citi-
zens lof Lexington, at which time, the
bridge directors will relieve themselves
Of all their secrets; make the eaffair
plain to all who hear. We have talked
to several members Of the board, but
have been refused a program for that
occasion. The board has set that time
and place to do its talking, and It will
not talk before that.
In our opinion, though this opinion
may prove incorrect, only q matter Of
a few thousand dollars now stands
between Lexington and actual work on
the bridge. This. amount will not
exceed S1O,0 O0. In other words, 8140,-
900 in solvent subscriptions has been
raised, and it will take $4,000 more
to meet the demand. When Lexington
shall hsve subscribed this amount Of
money, the actual construction Of the
bridge will begin, and not before. 1t
is a business proposition to business
men. 1t must be answered by business
men. Shall we, who In the heart Of q
panic were brave enough to Obligate
ourselves for Sl40, 900. now tremble
before a subscription Of $4,000 that
will save our past work and will inure
greatly to Lexington's future prosperity.
We are not unmindful Of the fact
that our people have subscribed liber-
ally and we'll. No other town Of this
size could have measured up TO the task.
But Lexington a do more, Lexington
is q better town now than it was before
the bridge project was put on foot.
This bridge boom has stirred this town
up and made q place out Of 1t that we
will all be proud Of.
The INTELLIGENcER believes that the
darkest day that could over come to
Lexington would be the day when her
citizens gave up the project. 1t would
be indeed a dark blot upon the escutch-
o Of this town for it to 60 on record
as having surrendered to retrogression
and decay because it would not give up
$4,000.
Lexingtonians have no more idea Of
surrendering to the devouring demon
of decay than they have Of the world
coming 10 an end tomorrow. Lexing-
tonians fight with their faces to the
enemy and they don't mean to let .
meagre amount Of money drive them
into a deserted village of q few hundred
inhabitants.
If the citizens of Lexington do their
duty we will have raised that money
before another week, and the citizens
of this town never break q pledge nor
shirk a duty.

THE CAUSE-

The result of the election was bad
enough, but not too bad il it will teach
us all an object lesson. Every one has
a reason for the result and but few
democrats will agre~ On these reasons.
But it is not so much question now as
to what caused it, as it is what will
prevent it next year. Local causes had
much to do with the result, but as the
victory was general, the cause must
have been national.
The election last Tuesday was q
reputation of undemocratic policies.
Nothing more can be made of it.
Mr.. Cleveland and his followers,
though honest they may be, have dis
rupted the party. They have caused a
spirit Of apathy in the ranks from
ocean to ocean.
1t was not a free coinage defeat.
There we're no free coinage platforms
except in Illinois and Mississippi But
the causes must be eradicated. II Mr..
Cleveland will not make concessions
for party harmony and unity of action,
those of his followers, who love the party
better than its members, should.
Let gold stadasd advocates read the
the lesson that comes from the election.
Read and reread their parties platform
and get back where they belong. II
the democratic party Is ever again vic
torious it must be on its principles.
1t has no statesmen great enough to be
elected on a republican platform.
