HON. CHAMP CLARK, member OF
Congress from this district, in nm able
and effectual manner fought the bill to
retire the officers of the revenue
marine service ON half pay. Referring
to this matter, the st. Louis Republic
says:
Missouri is to be congratulated, and
may congratulate herself that it was
county, too, who defeated the bill To
retire the superannuated officials of the
revenue marine service on half pay.
This was the third time the strong
hand of Champ Clark restrained this
effort to make a precedent which
would result in the creation of a class
of official pensioners.
The Republic has frequently urged
hat a necessary and logical part OF
any system of life tenure in public Of
fee must be a retirement OH pension at
the age of approximation. II is a part
of the design of those who insist upon
the creation of an official class in this
country that when an oficeholder has
held a lucrative post 80 long that he
has become incapable of duty he shall
be billeted upon the country for life.
In other words, after occupying a
valuable post to the exclusion Of other
equally deserving citizens during all
the active years of his life, he shall,
after years spent in a routine of duty
which has. incapacitated him for all
other work, be kept on the pay roll OF
the Government as a pensioner.
The Democratic and American idea
of rotation i'm Office cannot contem-
plate the creation OF an official class
with a monopoly of public Office dur
ing their active years and afterward
to be maintained at public expense.
The Democratic and American idea is
to make all men self-sustaining and to
discourage in all men any hope OF ex-
~pectation of Government bounty.
That is the sentiment of Missouri.
And Congressman Clark has express
ed it ably and e~ffectually.

Curious.
A

To the Editor of the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, March 13.-A curious
feature of the silver question is a con-
slant desire on the part of the So
called silver men that some one else
shall have silver and no anxiety on
their part to possess themselves of it.
No Congressman ever drew his sal
AIRY in silver but some are anxious
that others should have silver.
California in Congress is DESTROYS
that all the other States shall have sill
yer, but hat State is and always has
been on a gold basis. All contracts
are payable in gold. National bank
bills have always been redeemable in
gold. They refused greenbacks in
1861 to 1876 except on a gold basis.
Nevada and Senator Stewart wish
all of us to have silver dollars, but all
mining assessments and all of Senator
Stewards mortgages are payable in
United States gold coin.
Idaho is for silver for the rest If us,
but their bonds are made payable,
principal and interest, in gold, because
il saves them interest.
Nebraska is extremely anxious that
others shall have silver dollars, but
the Omaha banks boarded -, COO. 900
during the late panic.
Arizona is for silver, but their bonds
are payable in gold. II W them
money.
When Secretary Carlisle asked the
banks to help maintain the gold re-
serve the silver advocates held gold
and made no effort 10 obtain silver
that was offered them. They also
wanted others to have silver. Califor-
mia and Colorado could have furnished
all the go;,t needed but they kept il at
home. HONEST MONEY.

The Great
Equitable Life
INSURANCE COMPANY.

Such achievements Is these during a period of general financial depres-
sion and uncertainty are certainly remarkable and unprecedented.
The growth of no financial institution in the world can equal this. The
company shows a n increase in assets Of over s16O 900 during the financial
panic of 1894. Every dollar of the Equitable's assets belongs to its policy
holders, of whom all get their share of interest and dividends. The Eauit-
able has the largest amount of insurance in force, writes the largest annual
world. They also placed more business IN Audrain County last yea" than the
combined amounts of all other companies. The payments of death claims,
endowmenh, annuites, etc, aggregate $19,4733529 81, which represents the
savings of many thousands of prudent people, multiplied in the hands of the
s390o0OO Of insurance applied for and which the company did not consider
desirable risks. This goes to show that it's management is conservative and
only issues policies o first class risks Truly the greatest company is the
company that does the most good and the Equitable Life answers that descrip-
etc, apply to

INCOME TAX DECISION.
The Case Before the Supreme Court
Will Be Pushed to a Final
Decision Before the
Full Ranch

New YORK, April 9.-John c. Moore,
who brought the original suit cOnteSting
the validity of the income tax law, said
last night:
Il am advised by counsel that the court
divides equally on the question of the
validity of the tax so far as the $4,000 eX-
emption is concerned. There is a strong
expression of opinion by Justice Field
that the entire law is unconstitutional.
This, however, can not be decided until
there is full hench. The question as to
the validity o:the law on accounts Of the
1000 ption can be raised by mo-
tion for reheariDg before the full bench,
or by making payment under protest
and suing the collectors to recover the
money. l intend to continue the contest
against the law, and If necessary, TO do
so, will make my returns, pay the taxes,
then institute suit to recover. | adhere
TO my original opinion that the law is. not
only odiouS to a great majority OF the
American people, but is in violation to
the constitution and | propose to press
the contest to finish.

ROCHESTER, n. Y A Oril 9.-There was
an exciting scene at the lecture OF Miss
Ida b. Wells, last evening, in which a
theological student from Texas and Miss
Susan b. Anthony participated.
Miss Wells said that Negro lynchingS
had increased in the south in marked
degree: that between 1882 and 1892 one
thousand people were lynched on slight
preteXtS and N many cases when they
were known to be Innocent she gave a
number Of illustrations bearing upon her
conclusions when the theological student.
who said he hailed from Texas arose and
said:
do you assume that all Negroes that
have been lynched since the war have
been innOcent?"
Il never said that" replied Miss Wells.
Il simply assert that they were innocent
in the eyes Of the law"
Miss Wells then resumed her lecture.
She said it was considered a crime for
Negroes TO inter marry with whites. She
insisted that If it was illegal for white
men to marry cOlOred women ii should be
illegal for them to form alliances with
them. A white man might live with
colOred woman with IMMUNITY, but II he
should marry her 1t would he crime.
The student, then iu evident excitement
arose and said do the Negroes want to
marry white folks. If the Negroes are so
badly treated In the south why do they
not come north or go west, or to some
more congenial placer"
They are pot able to emigrate," re-
sponded MISS Wells, because they are
always in debt to their landlords, being
paid in checks for provisions on y good at
plantation stores. | would remain in the
south myself had | not been forbidden to
come back on the penalty of losing my
life
Miss Anthony could restrain herself no
longer. She jumped to her feet and with
fire in her eyes said:
The colored people receive no better
treatment in the north than they DO in
the South. That is why they do not come
here. | will relate an incident that oc
Cured in our city only last week. A dance
was to be given for the benefit Of the
children of the seventh grade and tickets
we're issued TO children for ten cents.
Now, it happened that there was col
ored girl in that grade who paid the
money. But when she went to the teach
er. Miss Stewart, she was told that If
she insisted on attending, none OF the
wL:.e children would 60, and the affair
would be given up. so the poor child was
turned away / consider that the outrage
on the feeling of the cOlored gin was the
result of the same spirit that inspired the
lynchlngS of the south"
Miss AnthOny'S drnunciatiOHS of these
distinctions were dramatic.

further urging puts it on. He
stands convicted upon his own tes-
timony. He says l prefer to wrap
myself in the American flag. |
Judge that he is angry because |

will wager that he can not be re-

Mr.. Altgeld is an odd mixture.
He is worth three or four million

assertion Of the people with whom
he associates is that no man ac-

do not need to work out the prob
lem any further. Alleged owns the
biggest house in Chicago. His
cry is always for a division Of
property. He knows very well
that the rest of the people will not
allow it and he gets all the credit
of being a reformer without en-
| tangling his feet. If he would
practice his preachings he would
divide his property first and then
after setting the example call on
the rest of the country to follow
his lead"
