A BROAD MIND.

1t is well known to the NEwsBoY
readers that it is our opinion that b.
B. Cahoon, of Fredericktown, is only
stalking horse" of Boss Filley, in
order to split the vote of the South
east and nominate Webster Davis,
Filley's A. P. A. candidate for gov
ernor, of Kansas City.
So far nothing has transpired to
cause us to change our opinion. We
have no idea that Mr.. Cahoon knows
why he was urged to become a can
didate for such an exalted position.
However, he is honest, fearless and
outspoken. He appears to be too
frank and independent to expect any
thing from boss of any party.
1t seems that at Piedmont, Mr..
Cahoon is charged with being a Cath
olic. Mr.. Cahoon, in a letter, pub
lishcd in the Fredericktown Nens,
denies the charge and, among other
things, says: Il wish to emphat-
ically say that l stand where Wash
ington and Lincoln stood, ready to
take the hand of any worthy foreigner
who, in good faith, comes to join his
political and personal fortunes with
us, and neither rewarding or punish
ing a man on account of his reliojon
or on account of his lack of it; favor
ing, in short, the largest political
and religious liberation consistent
with the broadest Americanism.

al failure or success. l would rather
so stand than be the occupant of the

SO to stand is, in my judgment, to
ignore the best of the fundamental
principles for which our fathers died. :"

1T is DIFFERENT NOW.

Only Four years ago the Dem
ocrats all over the country were
making themselves hoarse shouting
the praise Of Grover Cleveland, and
declaring in very emphatic tones
that the politicians should be thwart-
ed in their endeavors to deny the
rank and file their choice of candi-
dates for the presidency. And the
people won. The politicians were
routed. We had made ourselves felt,
and the banner of the masses was
carried to victory. Over the un-
yielding protest of New York's solid
delegation, lead by sthef eloquent
Cochran, Cleveland was nominated.
The advice of that delegation was
not beeded and time has shown that
stupendous bluuder was then COM
mitted. At least on that occasion
the politicians were right. -
They knew Grover better than the
people did, and the dissensions that
have followed within the Democracy
have rent it almost in twain.
The people believed they had in
him a champion of their rights, but
now they can see back of it the SUBJ
tie hand of the money king. The
money power controlled the great
dailies, from which the country press
took its cue, all unaware that they
were playing into the very hands
from which they were seeking to be
free.
Time has made some change.
The country press has emancipated
itself, and does not now jump every
time the leading journals pull the
string, and will learn reform from
Wall Street no more. 1t must come
from a different head, and we must
know it's source.

EVERY taxpayer in Scott county
should be friend to the NEwsBoY.
1t is the only paper in the county
that has defied the money power and
bosses and stood squsrely by the til
lers of the soil. 1t recognizes no
classes. A rich man is just as good
as a poor man--so long as he behaves
himself. But he is. no better. We
stand for all the people against ring
rule and corruption. Stand by the
paper that stands by you.

1T MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

1t is strange that the strongest
argument.in favor of remonetization
of silver is hardly ever advanced by
Bimetallists-namely, that Congress
had no authority, either in the Con-
stitution or from the people, to de-
monetize it. Its power to coin money
merely authorizes it to adjust the
ratiO.-Southeast Gazette.
Then why don't the U. S. Supreme
court declare the act unconstitutional
but hold-a slip O the tongue
the Supreme Court of the United
States is not built that way. Had
the Act of 1873. demonetizing silver,
been, in any way, obnoxious to the
monied interests of this country or
England, it would have been declared
unconstitutional within six months
after its passage. No law is now
declared unconstitutional which tends
to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer. In fact. this seems to be the
policy, and an unwritten law of our
government. For example, let us
take up the Income tax law. This
law was intended to make bond hold
ers and large corporations bear a
part of the burden of the support of
this government. Bond holders pay
no tax on their investment, yet they
are American citizens and it was
only asked that they pay small per
cent on their income toward the
maintenance of the government.
Large corporations frequently at
tempt to Cypress labor and cause
strikes. At once these corporal tions
call upon the local, state and some
times national authorities for pro-
lection, and troops are ordered out.
For this protection Congress asked
that the corporations pay a small
per cent of their income, over 81, 900
per annum, to the support of the
government-but the Supreme court
says mo; let the hayseeds pay it. 1"
And so it goes.

WILL the Democracy of this nation
ever get forgiveness for the crime OF
electing Grover Cleveland President
of these United States? Really his
election is chargeable to the goldbug
element of both parties and his
treachery was not known-except to
his Eastern friends. However, he
was elected as Democrat, and the
Democratic party must bear the

MIMI hDOO IRO1 Ell 1lON. 4.
The United States Supreme court
has rendered decision declaring it
to be unconstitutional for village,
town or city governments to tax or
demand that q peddler, agent or
salesman pay license to do business
in any town or village. In other
words, any peddler may come among
us in competition with our merchants.
He need not be a naturalized citizen;
he need not be taxpayer; he need
not in any way, be connected with
the responsibilities of this govern
ment, yet he has the same rights as
he who has his all invested in this
great land.
But this is only another decision in
line with all Supreme court decisions.
Peddlers and statesmen are usually
sent out by and are the agents of,
large corporate bodies. They pass
through a country and work it for
all it is worth. They usually have
some catch or swindle by which to
deceive the people and the same
man seldom appears in the same
locality twice.
The robber tariff and protection
guaranteed the rich manufacturers
of the East is constitutional, but the
one or two dollars tax collected off
the peddlers or agents of those COR
porations, in order to protect the local
merchant, is unconstitutional. So
says the supreme court. -.

Az ora.r-outane,s swing.

Chief Orang-Outang, the chief OBJ
gect of interest at the Zoo, has devel-
oped a wonderful penchant for swing
ing. He amuses himself for hours at a
time hanging head downward from the
chain suspended in his cage and swing
ing to and fro like happy child. Head
Keeper Manly conceived the idea of
putting genuine rope swing in the
cage and showing the chief how to
swing in it the same as they do at
Sunday school picnic. The old fellow
didn't take kindly to the innovation,
for he insisted on swinging in the new
swing with his hind quarters high in
the air and his head hanging near the
floor of his cage. AS he laziIy swings
to and fro the chief sometimes lifts
up a straw and picks his teeth care
fully.-PhiladeIphia Record.

NINA VAN ZANDT AGAIN.

The Woman Who Married August Spies
the Anarchist, viii Lecture.
CHICAGO. Jan. 11.-Mrs. S. s. Malato.
who as Miss Nina Van Zandt achieved
worldwide notoriety nine years ago by
her marriage to August Spies, the an
archist, is shortly to appear before
the public as lectuaer. It was
anarchists that Miss Van Zandt married
scion of one of the oldest and most
aristocratic families of Sicily. She re-
turned with him to his native town of
Palermo Mr. and Mrs. Malato returned
to Chicago in 1892.
She is not living happily with her
husband, and. as she puts it, is going "to
lecture for my bread and butter"
In speaking of her marriage to Spies
Mrs Malato said: "That was the act of a
foolish school girl. William P. Black
who was attorney for the anarchists, was
the cause of it. He told me that by do
ing as he wished I would save the life of
Mr.. Spies; that no jury of American citi-
zens would send to the gallows a man
with loving young brides arms around
his neck.
II had been engaged to Mr.. Spies for
some time. and after much urging and
pleading by Mr. Black l consented to the
ceremony he wished me TO go through
We were not married by proxy, as the
newspapers alleged. I simply signed a
paper before a justice of the peace in
the presence of witnesses. acknowledge
ing that l accepted Mr.. Spies as my hus-
band He did the same. acknowledging
me az his wife.
Il believe it was legal marriage, but
it was our intention all the time to be
remarked in the regular way when he
was liberated. When Mr.. Black found
that his plan would not accomplish the
freedom of Mr.. Spies, he turned his back
on US and disavowed anyconnection with
the ceremony we had gone through. 1t
never would have been known to the
public but for him, and l shall never for
give him for the great wrong he did to
me. then only an innocent girl not out of

BIG GAME IN NEWFOUNDLAND.
Great Herds of Caribou Still Found in
the Unsettled Portions.

! GEeaI Aeros or CARIBOU Still round In
| the Unsettled Portions.
Quebec letter in New York Sun: No
such enormous herds of reindeer are
anywhere to be found except in the
barren lands of Canada as those that
roam the interior of Newfoundland.
Tie new railroad has made their haunts
much more accessible, as it runs
through the best portion of the caribou
country. A number of American sports
men have lately passed through Canada
on their way home from the sport of
deer stalking in the old island colony,
and they declare that with the COM
pletion of the road to Port-au-Basque
next year there will be an ever-in
creasing stream of sportsmen into the
island, both from Canada and the
United States. Several of this years
American visitors have purchased
large tracts of land in the interior for
game preserves and whereon to erect
summer residences, among them being
D. Parker of Brooklyn and a number
of his friends. They have selected the
country just north of the Humber river,
and expect that in a few years the
American contingent will form no in
considerable part of the summer popu-i
lation. Such multitudes of the caribou
are now slaughtered by the settlers,
who send the meat for sale to St. John s,
that there is reason to fear that this
noble animal, like the bison, may be-
come exterminated. The islanders are
alive to the danger, and the govern
ment will probably soon do as it is
urged, and enact proper protective
measures, under which no possible in
crease in the number of sportsmen will
cause any marked diminution in the
supply. There are immense regions in
the interior to which the deer now re-
sort, where the soil Is barren and can
never be reclaimed and the trees are
covered with hanging moss, the natural
food of the reindeer. With proper pro-
tective laws, this could be readily con-
verified into the finest deer park in the
world, though some action will be nee
cssary for the determination OF the
wolves, which at present prey to
great extent upon the deer. When the
deer go south, hundreds of these SPLEEN
did animals can be met with in herds,
though the law limits each sportsman
to eight in the course of the season
