Jefferson CITY.

jefferson City is infinitely the most
cherished landmark in all our great
commonwealth. Nature made the
site upon which rests the capitol
, 49, "a passscu
natural beauty--is on the great river
in honor of which our state derives
its name, and almost exactly in the
geographical center of the common
wealth.
Patriotic associations and legends
and sentiment are associated with
Jefferson City as with no other place
in our commonwealth. The name of
the town is IN honor of the immortal
author of the Declaration of hide
pendence. 1t has been the place
for near a century where the great
men of the state--men like Benton.
Barton, Bates, Wright, Green, Polk,
and a crowd of others too numerous
to name-were wont to Congregate
and lay wido and deep and strong
the foundation of the superstructure
of Il great commonwcalth-men
whose sympathies were in the right
direction, whose efforts were Iii.
rected toward noble ends; men who
loved their state; men who had the
courage to take strong grounds for
its defense; men who did their full
measure of duty each in the sphere
in which he was most useful-all
contributing tC the great and grand
result for which they hoped and
struggled.
The people of Missouri today love
the memory of their great men of q
former generation, and the patriotic
sentiments and instincts of the vot-
ers at the November eiection-the
sacred associations connecting Jeffer.
son City with the past history of the
state-will impel them to stay the
destroying hand that is sought to be
laid upon the historic old city.
Inspiring to fervent love of our
commonwealth, Of stronger and
sweeter influence than melodious
song, are the recollections and re.
freshlng memories TO which the Mis-,
sourian, who is informed as respects
the history of his state and that OF
its great men in the past, loves tC
turn and linger DER, while our sister
town over in Pettis county has NJ
more charms for memory in this re
spect than would a similar area o
territory blocked out in the midst o.
our great western desert.-Marshal

The acceptance by Governor Stone
of the bond given by citizens of Sc
dalia puts the capital removal ques-
ton in. position for beino voted ""n~
W me people of the state next No.
yember.
While Sedalia is much nearer st.
Clair county than jefferson City, we
fail to see any good reason advanced
by the former City as to why the
capital should be removed, save that
Of aiding and abetting a lot of spec
ulators and real estate people. No
demand has ever been made by the
people of the state that the state gov
eminent vacate Jefferson City, and
the matter has not been referred to
except by Sedalia. State capitals
should not be junketed about at the
beck and call Of any city that may
be convinced that it should have the
seat Of government, and if the props
ositiod to accept Sedalia's PROPOSE
ton should prevail next November,
there is nc power under the sun to
prevent other cities securing the same
privilege and having a vote taken to
move to some other point.
Sedalia offers nothing superior to
Jefferson City in the way of location,
railroad facilities or buildings. She
claims to be centrally located, but is
not as central as jefferson City.
Sedalia claims high altitude ami
complete sewerage, but is not supe-
rior, to jefferson City. Sedalia
claims to be progressive and enter
prising, but shl was n Cf the first
towns in central-western Missouri to
be crossed at right angles by two
main lines of railroad and twenty
years after had but II, 900 inhabi-
tants. The recent building of the
bridge across the Missouri is a feat
Of enterprise accomplished by the
people of Jefferson City ncve.
equaled by Sedalia.
The estimated cost Of the state
buildings which Sedalia has guaran,
teed to put up without expense &c
the people Of Missouri is 1884, 204,
Sedalia herself states that $3.50, 0OC
have been spent on the buildings
now at Jefferson within the past ter
years. No sane person will .imagin,
for a moment that the sum cOntem,
plated will erect the necessary build
ings at Sedalia, and there would sooi
be inaugurated n scheme of jobber'
and corruption at each session of III
legislature TO secure additional ap
propriations, and the taxpayers O
the state would be contributing to th
deficiency. No modern capita
building has been built for thrice tn
proposed and guaranteed sum. TIL
voter will notice that Sedalia doe
not guarantee to erect suitable an,
complete buildings, but only bind
itself for a certain sum Of money.
For seventy years jefferson Cit,
has been the permanent seat of gov
ernment of Missouri. Among al
these years little objection has bee
made to the location, and today, d
the eve of a vote that may take tn
capital to another town, not on
point has been raised of importance
to the people in favor Of the remova
scheme. The taxpayer should seri
Ously consider the matter befor,
casting his ballot.
The capital should stay at Jeffer
son City.

No mystery about IL. When the
Shakers offered some time ago to
to give away q bottle of
their Digestive Cordial to any one
who might call at their New York
Office, there was a great rush and a
great many people thought they were
crazy.
Subsequent events prove it TO have
been a very clever advertising trans.
action, for although they gave away
thousands of bottles, 1t was in the
end profitable nearly every Ole that
took o free bottle came back for
more and paid for it with pleasure,
saying they had derived better rs-
suits from its-use than from any
other medicine they had aver used.
