REPUBLICAN

There has been much spoken anu
written about the discord in the demo-
cratic party in this state. In fact, the
differences among democrats have
monopollzed the editorials OF the
papers and the political conversations
of the voters. The democrats differed
on matters of principle, and these
have been settled in state convention.
In view of the great issue and the
aggressive campaign made over IT,
there was very little of personal AMI
mostly ~eneendered in its settlement
1t was settled in a democratic hghI
and IN a democratic way. The party
in Missouri today is in good shape tor
victory.
lin to and for a week after the
Sedalia convention the democrats held
down the grand stand. Their differ
ences were the subject of the criticisms
ieers and anathemas of the republican
press.
Rut II ,s different now. The time for
the republican conventions is at hand
Take a look at the situation. Behold
the great chunks of republican mar
mony as they have come to shore
Inhale the sweet aroma that arises
from the loving COMMUNICATION" OF
Col. Chauncey I. Filley and his cotton
socks following on the one hand, and
Dick Kerens and the silk stocking
outfit on the other.
In every hamlet, village and city IN
this commonwealth that ''beautlful'
harmony that waxeth so warmly
between mighty t~rojans, each bent OF
wearing the others scalp for a watch
charm, fills the air. The great repub'
loan farmer who votes his money int
the pockets of the manufacturers In
hales the perfume of this magnificent
article as 1t is waited on every breeze
The article of harmony now con
trolling republican politics is OF tina
variety that always carries an TX. Ii
the field aud shop, in the vale or oil
the mountain, its presence is as en-
chanting and its form so familiar ant
it's accomplishments so charming tina
democrats are led by still waters ant
made to lie down in green pastures.
The republican harmony of Missouri
is one OF the political items OF moderr
times, and it can only be had i. e., Thu
variety, here IN Missouri where o
Filley with an ak in one hand and ne
pie in the other, calls upon Boss
Kerens whose political fighting armorI
Is we'll stocked with knives, to LAY
down and be run over. Boss keren'
retorts IN language the mail service
won't deliver, and the fight is on. A
! Fillev cotton socks and a Kerens sill
stocking would not talk over a tele'
nbone unless both were we'll armed.
Beautiful harmony! 1t can be nae
in any kind of a dose, and Is being
delivered to republicans all over thu
state on s'open orders"
The garnet has been ransacked ano
the records are being looked up
Knives are being whetted and the
political gatlin guns are being loaded
The air il full of it. Democratic cam
paign material is growing.

MUSICALE.


On last Monday evening, at Walkers
Hall, in Higginsville. there waS given a
music recital by Misses Annie Mister
and Lillian Whiting. Miss Mister has
lust returned home from a winter spent
in Boston, where she enjoyed the superior
~yanta of the Boston Conservatory OF
Music. in addition to this, she received
instruction from eminent specialists in
the art of vocal and Instruments music
from resident professors of that cultured
seat of learning-men who are worldwide
in their reputation in the musical profess
sion.
Miss whiting has also enjoyed the
advantages of several years of study, and
plays well upon both the piano apd
violin.
Higginsville is indeed fortunate to have
such accomplished musicians, and should
give them and all other evidences of such
culture as these young ladies manifested,
strong encouragement, and thus build up
a musical atmosphere that will not be
confined to her eAterprisiag city.

MIR. James G. McGrew will build a
large mill at Coffeyville Kansas and
will move the largest of his machinery
from the mill here to that place within
the next few weeks. He announces his
mill here for sale in this paper. This
move is occasioned by extra induce
ments offered him by the citizens OF

will u a 400 barrel mill here. Mr.. A;

CoffeyYille, and will move his family

tinue to reside here. The INTELLIGEN-
GER greatly regrets that Lexington is to
lose this great enterprise. 1t is a great
loss to on city. We are happy however
to know that thu Messrs. McGrew VIII
not go with the mill. Lexington can
better afford t o lose the mill than It can

Therefore, If the evidence sought to be OBJ

FOR BETTER WATER.
The Senate District Committee Seek
ing for Information.

The Senate District Committee Seek
ing for Information.
There is reason to hope that the city will
at some time in the future be supplied with
an abundant supply Of water free from
sediment during all times of the year. At
least an effort will be made to bring about
this result by the Senate committee the
District of Columbia, and an investigation
into the existing conditions and best means
for supplying filtered water will shortly De
begun.
IF had known" said Senator Mcmillan,
chairman of the committee on the District
of Columbia, that The Star would desig-
nate my views on needs of the District for
legislation as my platform / would have
included another item. 1 think we are in
great need here of a more abundant supply
of water, which will not be of a muddy
hue during a considerable portion of the
year. 1t seems to me We should be able to
have our water filtered or relieved from
sediment by some other means, and it shall
be my endeavor to bring about such a re-
suit"
In accordance with this wish of Senator
Mcmillan, Mr.. Charles Moore, clerk to the
committee, will at once confer with Major
Charles E. L. B. Davis. in charge of the
Washington aqueduet, in order to get a
definite statement of conditions affecting
the water supply of Washington and rec
concentrations of means for purifying the
water. The problem before the engineers
will not be merely one of relieving the
water of sediment that could be gotten rid
of by settling reservoirs, but also of re-
lievins IL of the muddy appearance which
Is caused by a substance which does not
readily settle ard which even passes
through ordinary sand filters. 1t is the in
tention of the committee to secure data
that will enable it to make definite rec
onimendatiOn to the Senate in the form of
bill to increase the quantity and improve
the qualify of the water delivered to the
citizens here.

RATHER WARM LANGUAGE
Judge Bradley and Mr. Maurice Smith
Disagree
Scenes In Court Today Trial of
Brooks Damage Suit Affords q
Scnsation-Judge's Charge.

The usual orderly state of affairs In Cir
cult Court No. 1 was disturbed this morn
ing for few minutes by slight oral al
tercation between Ju1ge Bradley and At
torney C. Maurice Smith. during which Mr.
Smith told the Judge tina: each disliked
the other, and the result Of which was
that Mr.. Smith abruptly abandoned his
connection with the case on trial and left
the court room. Mr.. Smith did not leave,
however, until after the court had directed
him to take his seat or stand punished for
contempt of court
Together with MFR. Edwin Forrest Mr.
Smith was prosecuting the suit for 5000
damages brought by Frederick W. Brooks
young colored man, against Policeman
John Boland. The policeman arrested
Brooks at Benning in September, 1892, for
disorderly conduct. Brooks resisted arrest
the officer cortended. and he struck his
prisoner on the head with his club several
times, 1t Is said, in order to maintain the
arrest. Brooks claimed to have suffered q
broken jaw bone as the result of the blows,
and also an attack of lockjaw, he contend
ed, for wiir he claimed the damages.
War of Words.
In addressing the jury this morning, Mr..
Smith severely reflected upon the conduct
of the officer, remarking that unless the jury
sustained his client, the community, shot
guns in hands, would make targets of the
members of the local police force. Here he
was interrupted by Judge Bradley, who told
him to confine himself to the facts in the
case, intimating that Mr.. Smiths remarks
were neither proper nor justified.
Mr.. Smith became visibly excited, and
hotly remarked tina. ne was embarrassed
because of the alleged unfortunate feeling
existing between the court and himself.
II do not like you," he exclaimed to Judge
Bradley. 1.and I know you dislike me, and
] do Eot mind telling you so'
Judge Bradley calmly remarked that Mr..
Smith was mistaken, but when the latter
reasserted his statement the judge ordered
him to take his seat, remarking that If he
continued he had he would punish him
for contempt of court
Mr.. Smith took his seat. and, picking up
his hat and oveTcoat, hastily left the court
room, remarking that he abandoned the
case to the court, " no could do the rest of
the talking.
Judge Bradley made no further comment
upon the matter, and in the presence of a
great throng. attracted to the court room
by the affair. instructed the jury. In
charging them, however, the court referred
TO the incident, saying Mr.. Smith had
abused the privileges accorded him by the
court.
The jury retired to consider their verdict
at II o'clock, and, not having agreed at a
late hour this afternoon, Judge Bradley d.
rected them, il they agreed before then, to
return sealed verdict Monday morning.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, January 10.-Irregularity
and extreme dulIness were the most prom
inent features Of today's stock market.
The insignificant operations of room trad
ers were largely responsible for the frac-
tional changes in values.
Several prominent financial interests have
undertaken to dispose Of the suspense in
cident to the new bond issue by fixing, as
accurately as possible, the identity Of the
probable purchaser. These efforts. how
ever. while successful to a considerable
extent, merely confirm the chances of Mr..
Morgan and his associates.
nEough gold has beel pledged to the
syndicate to take up the entire amount
provided for in the recent government cir
cular. Considering thlt the gentlemen
composing the syndicate were not consult
ed in the matter they are wonderfully well
equipped for the present emergency. There
has PROBABLY never been any serious doubt
as to the final outcome Of the bond issue,
but with memories of he recent panic still
fresh all sorts of absurd stories are yield
ed to by tbs. weaklings at present dominat-
Ing the tendency of prices.
All concessions attract an encouraging
volume OF the right kind of buying, how
ever. and interests strong enough to dis
regard daily fluctuations are confident Of
future results.
An engagement Of $4,000 gold was an
7ounced during the morning, and special
causes are reported which will necessitate
shipments during the coming week. For
e.gn houses are quoted as attributing the
small outflow to the extreme narrowness
or the exchange market. The demand from
remitters has been light and the supply Of
bills small. Commercial drawings, while in
somewhat better supply. are by no means
Of sufficient volume to influence exchange
rates.
st. Paufs earnings for the first week in
January show an increase of $4,000. very

verse weather conditions and the unsettled
state OF the grain markets. The buying

The short interest in the market was
largely responsible for a majority of the
gains recorded elsewhere.
The market continues to be extremely
sensitive. and no movement is likely to
continue long uninterrupted. There Is no
season for supposing that the lowest level

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, January TO-
State Mine Inspector Clute has just re-
turned from the Nelson mines at Dayton,
the scene OF the recent disaster, where
twenty-nine men lest their lives. 1.-THE
cause of the explosion" said he, was
nothing but carelessness on the part of a
miner. This man walked over the danger
line and isnited a small amount Of gas.
This created stir of coal dust 1t was set
afire and a general explosion occurred.
Perhaps but half of the men were killed
by the explosion, the others dying of after

that the committee had merely gone back
to the rule Of the Fifty-flrst Congress and
left It unaltered.
Daazell. loudly declaring: you have taken
this committee to the door and kicked IL
out, and l would like to know the reason.
1 would Hike to ask If there is a single COM
miltee IN this House to which the country
Is looking more anxiously. and If any could
report more important matters, and ask
II In any other way the Treasury Depart
nent can be relieved from the redemption
or every dollar Of greenbacks with gold

Mr.; Payne N.Y) began to speak. when
Mr. Walker said: Now, have asked the
gentlemen from Pennsylvania and Iowa
ttis question. and 1 will see IL they will
nave the courage to answer it."
Mr.. Henderson's Explanation.
Mr. Henderson interposed to answer the
question, and explained that the committees
On ways and means. on appropriations and
elections and the others included in the LIST
dealt with questions that often demanded
consideration at once and that the matters
which the committee on public lands and
others in the list could bring forward under
the rule were limited He said that 1t was
the desire of the committee to keep down
the business which could be brought for
ward at any time
MI Magulre (CaLp SAID the committee on
rules represented what 1t considered the
best interests of the republican party in the
rext campaign, and ii desired to restrict
the committee from reporting anything"
Mr.. Hartman MOI characterized the rules
as step backward and an attempt to pre-
vent currency legislation, which, he said,
the committee on rules desired should end
with the two revenue bills which had passed
the House.
Mr.. Crfsp,s Delfverance.
Mr.. Crisp (Ga) addressed himself to the
republicans. saying: do not deceive your
selves. When this Congress has proceeded
further you will ascertain that there Is no
better graveyard for a measure reported
to this House. however good. than the
calendar.
THE committee might work day and
night upon bill and have it's labors in
vain. If Mr.. Walkers amendment was
adopted the House might decide for itself
whether it would consider any currency
measure. Otherwise IL three-fourths Of the
House desired to do so 1T could not be done
except by a report from the committee on
rules" He concluded: when this session
adjourns and your constituents ask what
did you do with the currency question:
you will tell them that you had no chance
to vote upon IL. But tell them that with
full knowledge that you bound your
hands"
