THE ONLY EYIL LEFT.

The democratic party IL getting In
mighty good shape for victory in Mis-
souri,. The differences as to party
policies, the authority Of the Fertile
Springs convention and other matters
OF Importance have been satisfactorily
settled. The central committee and
the leaders of party thought and action
have done all they can do. but there Is
one matter yet left to the voters. There
are q few ..big guns yet left to be
exploded. About a half dozen men In
high pla ,es continue to lay their per
soual grievances on the democratic
altar. They are keeping some dissen-
ton in the ranks not for the purpose Of
defeating the party, bnt to defeat par
tisans. They have no other reason than
their personal dislike. They have no
other cause TO serve than that Of personal
gain over personal enemies. And to
carry out their ends they are fighting
their battles under the guise OF demo-
cratic differences. The fighter for per.
sonal revenge is the only thing left to
eradicate In order to carry Missouri by
an old time majority.
The party cares nothing for the per-
sonal differences between Jones and
Francis, or Francis and Stone, the
Republic or Stone, or between any
other two men, and they have no right
TO foster them upon the party. The
party leaders must keep their psrsRpsl
quarrels out of the party. They should
tell their troubles to the policeman and
not to their democratic followers, OF
else the people will lay hold upon
them

THE COURT HOUSE.

The county court has been asked to
improve the court house. That body
recognizes tho need Of improvement,
but it has suspended action until it
hears from the taxpayers. Therefore
petitions asking that an appropriation
from the county funds be made for this
purpose are being circulated.
The necessary improvements can be
made without increasing the taxation
q dollar.
1t will cost about S12 900 to make a
modern building, and n sufficiently
large and commodions for the holding
OF courts and the transaction of the
county business.
Lafayette is the best county IN the
state; her court house one Of the poor
est. The court honse belongs to the
county, and county pride should
demand that it be n IN accord with
the wealth and Of Lafayette.
The tax levy this year is less than It
has been in thirty years, and yet there
will not be a raise Of one cent made to
improve the court house.
Lexington township, which pays a
good share Of the taxes, has %petitioned
for the improvements, but action will
not be.taken until the county is heard
from.
In the last year Lexington has con-
tracted for nearly $500. 900 worth OF
city improvements. The taxes on this
alone would build a fine court house in
a few years.
Lexington has contracted for the
bridge, and that without asking con-
tributions outside Of tive townships.
This will enhance the value of every
piece Of property in the county. The
court house does. not belong 10 Lex
ington, and no sensible mar will say
that it is Lexington's duty to repair it.
We lay these facts before u read
ers, asking for them consideration.
We are opposed to high taxes. We
would oppose issuing bonds or going
in debt to improve the court house at
this time, but as the funds are in the
treasury or are forthcoming, we don't
think the taxpayers could make q
better investment than to make q mod
ern court house and one in accord with
with the greatness Of the county.
The matter goes to the Taxpayers
for final adjudication. No snap judg-
ment will he or has been taken. But
We have no fear Of the result. We
believe that the taxpayers will treat
the question fairly, and that they will
agree with the IHrELLIGENcER that
Lafayette ought to have a better court
house even than the proposed improve
ments contemplate. LAFAYETTE has
very few citizens who are not pro-
gressive.
