aud his jealous friends will see to it,
when his present term of office expires,
that he is called up hig her and mark
our prediction, the next governor OF
grand old Missouri will be Hon. Alex.
A. Lesueur.
The handsomest man at the state
capitol is Hon. James NJ Seibert, who
presides over the duties of the state
auditors office with genuineC Chesterfield
ian grace. He halls from Cape Girar-
deau county and is one of the safest
and most popular democrats in
Missouri politics. He has served thu
people for a number of years at the
capitol building and as reward for
his efficient services as an official and
democrat he was returned for n third
time 10 the auditors office. Missouri
has no better, brainier nor handsomer
democrat than Hon. James NJ. Seibert.
Afternoon, when our business duties
were concluded, we, in company with
Senator Vandiyer, visited the penitcn-
tiary. This was our first visit to That
institution and from the various descrip-
tions we had heard of 1t from random
sources we were of the opinion that it
was rather ''hell on earth," but one
visit TO the institution will convince The
most skeptical that all the prisoners
are humanely cared for. Each inmate
is given an opportunity to learn a trade
that he may be able to earn an honest
living when his term of sentence shall
expire; the prison rules are not vicious
but are so constructed as 10 make each
inmate better, morally, mentally aud
physically. The warden, Col. Pace,
who is soon to be succeeded by Col.
Jack Starke, has made an excellent
record as an official and has inangur-
ated reforms and made improvements
in the prison that will ever remain as
a memento to bis official record His
successor, Col. Jack Starke, who will
enter upon the duties of his Office next
Tuesday, is one of the most widely
known democrats in central Missouri
and his administration of the Office will
be as equally successful as that of his
predecessor, Col. Pace.

THAT TREATY WITH ENGLAND.
Hon. George Wilson Says 1t is Rotten
to the Core.
Editor INrELLIaENCER:

Editor INTELLIGENCER:
The so-called arbitration treaty be-
tween this country and England has
been hailed by some good people as
bringing in the era of peace. Alas, it
was diplomat who said, s'Speech was
given to man to enable him to hide his
thoughts ~ So far from being in the
interest of peace, it is part of Eng
lands preparation for that tremendous
storm of war that has for years been
altering on the eastern horizon of
Europe, and that no power can turn
aside unless the disposition of the
superstitious, fanatical and bloody
minded Turk can be changed. The
Turks are following the greatest and
highest example in the world-that of
Mahomet-for such he is to them, and
have determined that the Aryan Chris
tian Armenians shall become MOslems
in faith, or die to the last woman and
child. England has Mohammedan
population of forty millions in India
greater than her own population-aud
If she does not stand by Turkey these
will revolt. The Russian people are
crowding their Car to stop the massa-
cres and prevent the extinction of the
Armenians. Russia would stop it IN u
little while but for England. England
is helpless in the hands of money-lend-
ers. The same interest holds Turkeys
debt and England's. 1t is to the
money-lender II very simple problem:
(Which shall we lose, our money! or
the Armenians their lives, or turn
MoslemP" Let Russia and England
go to war, and in year the firm of
Rothschild would be loser of all its
Turkish bonds and half the value of
their English properties. 1t is not
their business 10 increase the number
of Christians in the world, especially
at the expense of more than half their
fortune. So they cabled their entire
approval of the treaty; and that the
treaty Is deception warrants the
belief that they got it up. The same
papers that brought the news that this
treaty had been negotiated also told us
That the Sultan is preparing for another
massacre. If in the interest of peace,
why were not the nations against which
England is always armed invited TO
take part in it? Did England ever offer
TO arbitrate with weak country? If
in the interest of peace. why were not
Germany and France invited to make
it general love-fcastP The reason
that Germany was not, is that England
would have now been the master of the
free republic of Transvaal but for the
determined stand of Germany in its
favor, compelling England TO back

The shooting by deputies of strikers
in Tennessee stands in striking con-
trast to that in Pennsylvania if VIC
are to form opinions from the reports
sent out. In Tennessee the strikers are
said to have been on the company's
property and there with intent to de-
stroy the company's store. When Or
dered to leave they refused and fire
was opened on them. They were armed
and fired back. If these statements
are correct the officers did no more
than their plain duty. If the Luzerne
sheriff had attempted to interfere when
the strikers were trespassing and en-
deavoring to destroy property and with
arms in hand were defying him, the
cases would have been parallel, which
they certainly do not appear to be now.

The Extremes and The Mean.

At the outset very few newspapers
assumed that the sheriff and deputies
who fired into the marching strikers
on the Lattimer highway were almost
if not quite murderers. A few news
papers on the contrary assumed that
they did right, that the strikers de-
served to be shot and that it was the
duty of good citizens not to question
the act of the officers. AS might be
expected, in this country where free
speech has taught conservatism in it's
use, the general opinion was that the
first reports indicated blunder on the
part of the officers and that whatever
the strikers might be guilty of before
at the time of the shooting they were
not deserving of such harsh measures.
Since that time, and Notwithstanding
later reports have been confirmatory
rather than otherwise of the suspicious
excited by the first, few are disposed to
charge the officers with murder but the
otHeT eAtIcHllSlS Cllilso " lileli lucti lila L
the sheriffs were only doing their duty
beyond question. They go farther and
declare that those who expressed the
opinion that the sheriffs committed j
blunder and should be brought into
court for investigation are doing more
mischief than are those of the Debs
stripe who call for retaliation by torch
and bullet. The Public Ledger, than
which there is not more conservative
newspaper published in Pennsylvania,
takes the ground that it is for the
courts to determine whether the strik-
ers when marching along that high
way were really rioting. This will
shock those who hold the Luzerne
sheriff above criticism, and who along
with the Debs gang would settle the
matter outside of the courts. The
former of these radicals assume that
only the strikers have exceeded their
rights; the latter that only the officers
are guilty. Both apparently conclude,
as did the Indiana lynchers, that it ism t
necessary to wait for a trial. And
strangely enough both assume that
those who want strikers and shooters
tried alike are enemies of law and Or
der.

this talk about the judiciary becoming

to say the least. In too many COM

functions on the mob and it would do
no good if it did. But officers of the
law and judges can do one thing, they
can bring lynchers to justice and not

who assists in the unlawful killing OF
another is punished the same as any
murderer will lynching cease and the
courts command the respect they
should.
