GIFTS TO PRESIDENT.

The st, Louis POst-Dispatch en-
bodies a lot of sound sense in the
following;
Even before his inauguration Mr..
Mckinley is made recipient of valu-
able gifts from the Hannaites.
Hanna's brother has given the
President-elect a splendid summer
home on the New England coast.
A weakness of Gen. Grant was
his acceptance of favors at the
hands of men with favors to ask of
his administration. The results OF
that policy were written in the his
tory of Black Fridays, whisky rings,
Belknap steals, Mullett frauds and
the high tide of corruption in the
Navy Department under Robson.
1t is not charged that Gen. Grant
touched a dollar stolen from the
people. Neither will Mr.. Mckinley.
But the money will be stolen just as
certainly under the one as it was
under the other, and by the men
who bring gifts to the White House
doors.
The public conscience condemns
the taking of gifts by the Presi-
dent. And the public conscience
is always right.

The Cotton Belt railroad brought
in over a hundred emigrants yes
terday, who are on their way to
DeLeon, Texas, to settle. This re-
minds us that if our land owners
would cut up their property into
small farms and place comfortable
buildings on the same, they could
induce many families to come here
and settle and add to our wealth
and population. A good agent in
the older southern states could go
and bring out many good farmers
who would take the land at good
prices and make our land blossom
as the rose. Let us work up boom
of this kind and see what it will
bring us. We do not mean by this
to hire a $35 man, who has kin folks
he wants to visit, and send him out
with niggardly sum of money and
no literature of a descriptive ma
ture of our country, but make up
money-one or two thousand dollars
and put a good genteel man IN
the field and let him stay there or
ganizing colonies and see to ship
ping, ETC., and when they arrive
here, have a welcoming committee
to meet them and give them direc-
tions as to how to get to the place
sold to them. Heretofore emigrants
coming here had to run the gaunt-
let of bunco men and sharpers, and
generally become disgusted with
our city and county before they got
the dust of travel from out of their
ears. We had a board of trade
once, and we hope they will come
together, and instead of making up
money to induce some cheap fac
tory or railroad to come there, put
the money in emigrants, and settle
up our vacant lands.

BLACK TRILBY.

McCabe & Young's "Black
Trilby" was given here last night,
to a small house and much smaller
gallery.
The troupe consists of some eight
or ten octoroon females and a like
number Of colored males. The play
can be put down as an extrava-
ganza of negro idiosYncracies, with
a medly of songs and dances.
There were some creditable
things said and acted during the
play.
The cake walk, ooh Mama" was
out of sight, and the members
showed some graceful attitudes in
grace as they walked before the
Judges for a decision. There were
six couples contesting, represent
ing Galveston, New Orleans, Louis
vile, Chicago, Memphis, Philadel-
phia and the state of Arkansas.
After the walk, which was the finale,
the Judge announced that he would
leave it to the audience to decide
as to who should have the cake,
asking for applause from the
audience to decide it, as he called
off the couples, Each couple re-
ceived some applause and when
Arkansas" was called the applause
grew hilarious and the "cake" fell
to our state.
We rather liked the show, but
have heard several say they thought
it rocky" We must say that it
was as clean and chaste an enter
talnment as we have ever witness
ed, for a minstrel show.

Get Down to It.

Let's all buckle down to work
now, and exemplfy in our actions
what we read in the Good Book, 4"
that no man iveth to himself and
no man dieth to himself; but we
must all be help to one another.
The hard times will give us all a
chance to see if "we love our neigh
bors as ourselves" If you hold a
mortgage on his possessions, don't
squeeze the life out of him. Re
member, his crops have failed, and
perhaps he has had sickness in his
family. Just bear and forbear.
Let us go forward with the hope
that another year will bring us
bountiful crops, and an abundance
with which to pay up back dues,
and something over for the neces-
sites of another year.-Ex.

The very idea of taxing each in,
habitant of this country nearly two
dollars (the average family $l0) for
the one thing of pensions alone, is
awful to contemplate. Because the
tax is collected indirectly it is none
the less a burden, as it comes out
of the pockets of the people while
buying or selling goods. If we had
free trade and direct taxation, the
pension fraud would disappear al
most as quickly as a SNOWFALL in
hades. Give us free trade.

When any part of the body isn't
doing the work that nature intend
it to do, it puts the whole system
out of tune-out of harmony. Sick

over the system. That makes slug
