gone among them all testify
that they signed the papers
with a reservation, and that
they will revenge themselves
on election day, when they can
do SO without fear of discovery
by voting for Bryan. Here is
a point upon which the repub-
licans are deceiving them.
Their system of intimidation
renders their preliminary can
vases of the voters wholly UNI
trustworthy. The men believe
it is policy to say that they are
for Mckinley, but their en-
pioyers can not interfere with
with them on election day, can
not control their votes, nor
even know how they vote. The
democratic vote will be much
larger than at these pre- cleo
ton canvasses, because many
of the operatives are afraid to
speak out for fear of losing
their places.

FOR PRESIDENT IN 1900.
TIE LYNCHING.

The murder of the Winner family in
Ray county was n of the most brutal
in the history of the state. But the fact
that it was. and that it justly aroused
the Indignation of the citizens there,
does not controvert the fact that the
lynching by a mob Of Nelson and Win
ner was a crime against our institutions.
Nelson and Winner were perhaps guilty,
though the prosecuting attorney of Ray
county says he doubts it, but that fact
is not sufficient to justify the actions OF
a mob In lynching the two men. Ii
mob law is right then what use IS
there to maintain legislative, executive
and judicial branches of government.
Every immunity that we enjoy was
paid for by the blood of the heroes OF
'76. The right of protection and trial
by jury is the common heritage OF every
citizen, good or bad. When that right
is denied the blow is at the institutions
of our land. 1t is not a question as to
the guilt or innocence of the two men,
but d question of law and order.
Il Nelson and Winner were guilty,
they would have been given a
8 eedy trial and paid the penalty for the
crime. But the question of guilt or
Innocence does not enter the case.
The laws of the land punish crime,
and it is the duty of good citizens to
uphold the majesty of that law.

MESSAGE.

In the exercise of the functions of his
Office Grover Cleveland has forwarded to
congress his last annual message.
Among all of his state pauers, none of
which have been very able, this is the
weakest. IL is about the lightest affair
that our legislative department has ever
had to deal with.
In the first place there is nothing in it
but words. Written at a time when the
business of a country is s~tagnated, when
four million tramps are going from
door to door asking to exchange their
labor for bread, when Cuban patriots
are being slain like dogs in a battle for
liberty, when Armenian massacres are
reported every day; written at a time
when our relations abroad are in a
turmoil and our business at home is
being destroyed, the message contains
practically nothing that suggests an
alienation of domestic troubles or a
solution for action in foreign matters.
Representing a nation that wishes
assistance rendered the Cuban patriots,
Cleveland practically advocates the cause
OF Spain.
Representing a nation that suffers
from contraction of the currency Cleve-
land recommends the retirement of the
greenbacks.
Representing a nation upon which he
has fostered trusts and syndicates, lie
assumes the hypocritical position of
being their enemy.
The message is about az watery
affair as has v e been sent to congress.
1t contains neither originality of thought
nor Huency of expression.
1t would indicate that its author had
a severe case Of the Jim jams" or else
was dying of that political disease
known as the dry rot"

A LESSON FOR LAWMAKERS.

The lawmakers of Missouri can find
in the lynching of Nelson and Winner a
lesson that may be studied to the profit
Of the people.
Mobs are wrong, but Sc long as the
laws permit delays of trials from court
TO court, from year to year, they will
continue to exist. OF course the fact
that delays of justice are Sc numerous,
docs not excuse the mob, but it does not
take tie blame from the law or correct
tsc evil hat makes mobs SO frequent.
The criminal code of Missouri has
been so construed that one, two or three
years. delay in bringing criminals to
justice is very common.
1t has been three years since Deustrow
murdered his wife and child at st.
Louis. Deustrow is still alive.
1t has been ten years since the Still
well murder at Hannibal. The guilty
parties have never been punished.
1t has been three years since the muir
der of the Meeks family. Bill Taylor
was hung only recently, but Geo. Tay-
lor escaped the hangman's rope.
And so We could 60 on naming cases
wherein Justice has been thwarted or
the guilty allowed to live an ordinary
lifetime before they were called upon to
pay the penalty.
A screw is loose somewhere. The
evil is a serious one. 1t ought to be
righted. 1t must be righted, either by
the cOurtS or lawmakers. IF il iS mt
mob law will grow more popular.

DOWN IN TEXAS.
Oscar Andreen Tells the Way They
Churn Down in the Lone Star
State.

From the Jefferson City Tribune.
Oscar Andreen, the well-known repre-
sentative of the st. Louis Paper Co., was
in the city yesterday. He has just re-
turned from a trip down in Texas. At
Galveston he enjoyed a bath in the surf,
and plucked bananas from the trees while
his friends in Missouri were shivering in
their winter clothes.
Near Houston Oscar visited a dairy
ranch, n was interested in the way IN
which the Texans churn. He says that
on the ranch he visited, the churn was an
alright vessel made of rawhide, which
when filled with cream, was attached to a
long rope A cowboy, mounted on a
swift pony, tied one end of this rope to
his saddle and started out. After gallop-
ing around a forty-acre lot with the churn
humping along behind, the churning was
done. 1t beats the Missouri way, Oscar
says, and is lots of fun besides.
Mr.. Andreen stopped a day or two at
Hot Springs and saw Gov-elect Stephens
and Auditor Seibert. Both gentlemen
are getting along nicely.
At Galveston the people are making
great preparations for entertaining the
National Editorial Association in Feb

A %BENEFACTOR WANTED.

Stephen G.. Wentworth founded the
Wentworth academy, and it will stand
as a monument to his memory us long
rs time lasts. Elizabeth Aull inscribed
her name forever upon the hearts of
our people when she founded the
Elizabeth Aull Seminary. Thus, with
out the institutions organized by the
combined efforts of our citizens, the
boys and girls of Lexington would
have at their doors the advantages of
higher education.
Another benefactor is wanted. To
the list which contains the names of
Stephen G.. Wentworth and Elizabeth
Aull the INTELLIGENCER wants to see
another added.
Lexington needs a public library.
The good that such an institution
would do in ~elevating the morals,
strengthening the characters and equip
ping for the battle of life, the young
men and women of our city cannot be
estimated.
Lexington has many young men who
are out of employment. There will
always be young men and old ones
here who cannot get employment.
These ssloaf'' around town. The young
men come down town after supper.
They have no place to go. Loaf around
ofnrnc until fhau orn olOond than
perhaps some go to the saloon, and
perhaps some to the gambling "hell,'
from there the road to the prison cell is
all down hill and easily travelled.
Lexington has no place where at all
times it a invite the boys to go,
where their surroundings will be eleva-
ting and where the air they breathe,
the books they read, and the company
they keep would inspire them to higher,
loftier ambitions and lead them to
follow paths of great usefulness to
their fellow men. A public library
would fill the bill. The good that it
would do would reflect upon the morals
of this city for all future ages.
A suitable building could be secured
for S5 5000. This building is what the
INTELLIGENCER wants some one to
give, and it wants 1t TO zeal the name
of him or her who gives it. If some
public benefactor will provide the
library hall, the INTELLIGENCER is
that the citizens of Lexington
would furnish it handsomely and fill it
with fine books.
The opportunity to eDdow the citizens
of Lexington with a public library
young men and young women
could go and be bettered, exalted and
ennobled, and where the older ones
could while away to their profit their
leisure hours, is open. 1t would be to
he man or woman who builds it ga
more lasting than brass and
than pure water"

One of the most pleasant events that has
trapapired in college circles this year was
the recital given by the music department
of Elizabeth AulI Seminary, last Monday
evening. This department of the Semi
nary is especially strong this year, and it's
recital bore abundant evidence of his
fact. The friends and patrons of the de-
partment assembled In the college chapel
and composed a highly cultured and APP
preciative audience. The program was
we'll executed, every number OF which
demonstrated musical talent of the most
superior order and training of the most
superior kind. 1t would be useless to par
ticularize, and comments upon each num-
Der is not necessary, for no one reads the
INTELLIaENCER who does not know the
TACT that anything rendered at q recital at
Il. A.. s. is evidence sufficient that it is in
every way worthy OF high praise.
After the entertainment President Nor
ton and his faculty were the recipients of
many congratulations. President Morton
is meeting with richly meriied success at
the Seminary, as all who are acquainted
with the workings at the school will bear
testimony.
