SEDAILA, Mo-, Jan. 4.-Several citi-

Mayor Hastain denying that floods
have caused any suffering at that
point. They denounce as unjust and
unfounded the reports circulated in the
press that restitution demanding re-
lief was caused bv the floods. In the
press reports the situation is absurdly
exaggerated, they say. There is not a
destitute family in or near town and
no possibility of suffering.

dictate an additional shortage in the
city treasury, which unless counter
balanced items are found, will reach
over SIT, 900 alone.

Artificial Memory.

An old Welsh blacksmith, who was
also a dealer in groceries and various
other trif1es, was unable to read or write,
but had a system of his own, and kept
his accounts in an original kind of hero
glyph in which rude presentation of
anything he sold on credit did duty for
written symbols. At Christmas time he
got his friend, the schoolmaster, to
make out his bills, as he dictated. Once
he sent a bill for shoeing, etc, to old
Sir Robert Vaughan, who presently
came down in a. great fiuster. Griffith
Jones, you old villain, you have me
charged with cheese, and I never had
one from you in my life!' stop a bit"
cried Griffith, while I look in the
book" And there, sure enough, was a
big round o, which in Griffith's script
represented a cheese. Then ensued a
wordy war between blacksmith and
baronet, in which it was difficult to say
who had the best of it. Sir Robert was
riding off in a rage, when the old black
smith called him back: stop; / re-
member-the cheese was all right, but I
forgot to put a hole in 1T. 1t was a
grindstone. ."-Household Words.

bly, way in which the United States can
prosper under free coinage is by having
the enlightened nations Of the world
agree on the unit value. The Republi-
can party favors free coinage under this
condition.
LOOKS THAT WAY.
Oakland Enquirer: 1t is too soon yet
to say Mckinley will be the next Presi-
dent of the United States. But that is
the way it looks now, and that is the
way we think it ought to be for the
nations best interests. It does not seem
possible for the Democratic party to
swallow the Poulists. Teller ano his fol-
lowers and Bentley and his brigade.
The differences between these frag-
ments are so wide that no ordinary man
can hope to unity them into one party
capable of winning majority of the
electoral votes Of the States.
CALIFORNIA IN LINE.
Santa Barbara Press: All California
is in line for Mckinley and Hobart,
chosen to head the Republican ticket
this fall. The ratification meetings
throughout the State Saturday night
went a long way in showing that the
popular vote will be cast in November
for the man who stands for the protec-
ton of home industries and the benefit
of American laborers. Mckinley and pro-
lection is the watchword.
BALLOT MACHINES.
Kern Echo: Are you in favor of using
ballot machines in general elections?
II so, you should vote for one of the
constitutional amendments this fall.
The amendment Is brief and simply
empowers the Legislature to provide
some other than the present paper
ballot method of voting, but expressly
enjoins secrecy as a prerequisite IN any
plan that may be proposed. Ii the
amendment be adopted, it will make the
Constitution in this State conform in
language on this point to the Constitu-
ton of New York.
NO GROW.
Kern Echo: What are you going to
do about it? The free coinage Republl-
cans in California are going to take
their crow like gentlemen. They have
been preparing their stomachs for a
good mess of delectable crow for sew
eral weeks and they are now smacking
their chops over the repast.-Tulare
Register.
This is not a fair way of stating the
case To have ones party convention
take a different view of case from
what one holds is not to spread a pan
quet of crow. The Republican party
is a party Of broad enough ideas to
admit men of different views, and we
do not feel that we have been humili-
ated when all Of our notions or Things
are not resolved about just to our Tx
ing. There are several subjects besides
silver coinage where the convention
declaration isn't in exact accord with
our views, silver being one Of them, but
each and all do not occasion hurn1lla-
ton and chagrin.

Armenia's Pitiable Plight.

To those who still hesitate to credit
the accommodating charges against the
Ottoman rule, suggest the present de-
plorable condition of Armenia. Though
one of the fairest lands under the sun,
and inhabited by a hardy, Industrious,
faithful, and frugal people, Armenia Is
to- day what California was under Mexi-
can rule-the home of banditti and cut
throats. From the southern shores of
the Euxine to the ancient Ararat, and
from the snow-capped mountains which
feed the Euphrates and the Tigris and
the Aras, to that undulating sweep to-
ward Western Asia which the Armenian
calls his native land, the bosom of ia
naticism has swept within the past few
years more than $4,000 men, women,
and children to the most agonizing
death; crowded the mountain fastnesses
and caves with fugitives, and left in the
villages and cities only fragments of
what was once proud and independ-
ent nation.-Dr. NJ NJ. Mangasarian, in
the Forum.
