Popular Feeling Abroad That the
Time Has Come For the
Citizens to Act.
NOMINATE STRONG CANDIDATES.
Will Try and lsduce Mayor Gottschalk to
Eater the Field as Candidate for Senator
This Spring-Live Locals.

This evening there will be meeting of
the Democratic Club for the purpose Of
getting into line for the spring campaign.
The outlook for Democratic success this
spring never looked brighter, and with
any reasonable amount of solid work put
in by the leaders there is no reason why
the next representatives from this city
should not be Of the Democratic faith.
There has been growing feeling that the
present representatives are more orna-
mental than useful, and II the city wishes
to attain the prominence which Is Justly
its due, men of different calibre must be
elected. What the city needs are pro-
gressive men, who are in touch with the
reform elements throughout the State.
It will be the aim Of the Democratic
club to foster a sentiment which will rally
to the party's standard all the best ele-
ments in the city. The time has come
when a superhuman effort must be put
forth TO make break in the ranks of the
people who believe that they have life
mortgage on the public offices of the city.
II the Democrats do nothing more than
force the enemy to place good, clean men
upon the Republican ticket they will have
gained signal victory. The average Dem
ocrat and the better element in the party
are not Office grabbers, but are content
and satisfied il the the opposition will put
forth their best men for these offices.
An illustration of this happened during
the last municipal campaign. Another
he
Republican ticket, but the record made
by the present executive forced the Re
publicans, or to speak more accurately,
forced the ring to put forth one OF the
cleanest men in the party for the nomina-
tion. The same thing can be accomplished
during the spring campaign If the proper
methods are pursued. Place strong, clean
and progressive men on the ticket, men
who will command the respect Of the
thinking voters, and the opposition will
have to match them with candidates Of
like calibre.
1t is the common opinion among certain
Democrats and the Citizens Committee,
that both wings ought to combine for the
public good and nominate a ticket that
will be sure to command the same forces
which gave such a splendid endorsement
to Mayor Gottschalk. At conference
held quite recently the Mayors name was
brought up for the position. 1t is we'll
known fact that Mayor Gottschalk is much
averse to accepting the nomination, as he
believes that the party can find other men
within their ranks who would poll as
many votes as himself. However, il the
pressure becomes too strong he may for
the party's sake be compelled to accept the
nomination for Senator. Every member
of the Democratic Club are requested to be
present this evening, as important matters
will be discussed.

TAKEN At HIS WORD.
A Story About Joseph B. McCullagh and
. Rival Editor.

When William Hyde, who afterward be
came postmaster of st. Louis during Cleve-
lands first term, was managing editor of
The Republican In that city, he threw
down the gantlet in an editorial on some
question of local Importance. 1t was i'm
mediately accepted by Editor McCullagh
of The Globe-Democrat, and warm de-
bate was prccipitated between the two able
editors. The intensity Of feeling grew
apace, and, as ofxen happens in controver-
sizes Of that kind, drifted into one of scath-
ing abuse between the editors. 1t was fun
for the readers of the rival papers, but dis
agreeable to the friends of the participants,
who expected that serious trouble would
result, both men being courageous and
daring.
Finally the vitriolic paragraphs of Edi-
tor McCullagh stung the other editor with
such force that he dispatched personal
communication to McCullagh, telling the
latter that the city of st. Louis was not
large enough for both of them to live in
ut the same time, and that one or the 9th
er had to leave the city Immediately, and
since he himself did not contemplate ar
early departure McCullagh should govern
himself accordingly.
The cool and calculating editor of The
Globe Democrat replied by the same mes.
|; niger that he would answer the commu-
nication the next morning in the editorial
columns Of his paper. And, true to his
word, the editorial appeared over the sig
nature of Mack, his war nom de plume.
The editorial, which was double loaded,
declared that he had received a communi.
cation from Mr.. Hyde the day previous,
in which the latter had stated that the city
was not large enough to hold them both at
the same time, and that Hyde or McCul
lagh must leave town. Following this
came lavish expression of deep regret on
the part of The Globe-Democrat in having
to announce the sudden and untimely de.
parture of Elitor Hyde of The Republican,
that Mr.. Hyde was man who in his long
residence in St. Louis had earned the
esteem and respect of all who knew him,
and that in his leave taking the city would
suffer distinct and irreparable loss. The
editorial then concluded with a long bio
graphical sketch of Editor Hyde, as If h,
had died on the previous day. The satire
was even more pungent than had been the
editorial paragraphs previously published.
1t was effective, too, for it ended the con
troversy, and both editors pursued the even
tenor of their way within stones throw
of each other without further trouble

Olive schreiner's Opinion of Cecil Rhodes.


This is what Olive Schreiner thinks
Of Cecil Rhodes: He is Napoleon over
again, but Napoleon in a financial, in
dustrial and political world. He has all
Napoleon's greatness, not little of Ma
poleon pettiness, and he will fall some
day, overwhelmed, az was Napoleon, by
the corruption Of his own tools. What
Napoleon did with steel Cecil does with
gold. Around him there is court of
creatures who only live to minister to
his will, but who would turn and rend
him tomorrow IL he were tripped up by
fate. AS Napoleon thought Providence
was always on the safe side of the heavy
battalions, so Cecil is convinced there is
no god 30 omnipotent as that Of the full
purse"

BELT LINE TO CONTINUE
Receiver Schoepf's Plan Accept

NEW TEMPORARY SCHEDULE
The Ele yenth Street Cars to Run Not
Less Than Seven Minutes Apart.
But on the Other Branch There

The Belt Line troubles have been patched

until a purchaser for the road can be Sc

AT the hearing of the case before Judge
Cox tlis morning Mr. Ridout said that he
had a proposition from Mr.. Schoepf, the
receiver, which, ought possibly meet the
approval OF the bondholders and the court
He said that there were three possible
courses with regard to the read. 1t mignt

run it themselves; and it might be run
under the present arrangement by the re-
ceievr on q much modified schedule.
Mr.. Ridout said Mr.. Schoepf was willing
to drop out entirely II the ebondhOlders desired
to operate the road ItwJild be impossible
tocontinae without some change.
Mr.. schoepf's plan proved To be ex-
actly what the bondholders had to pro
pose. The matter was thus agreed upon
immedia tely. Judge Cox agr eed To
grant leave to the road to violate its char
ter to this extent. The order will he
drawn up Tomorrow.
Mr.. Schuepr's letter proposed to run the
line on much-abbreviated schedule.
This he pointed out could not be done
without violating the charter, however,
which provides that cars be run at inter
walls Of not greater than ten minutes. The
Belt Line is now run on a seven and ten
minute schedule, and any material saving
would require longer intervals between the
cars than ten minutes.
His plan was to run the present sched-
ule On the Eleventh street iine-cars every
seven minutes, with others at busy hours
with forty-fiye-tuinute interval on the
remainder Of the line. This would only
require two cars on this end Of the
route. Mr.. schoepf also proposed that
he be allowed to run these two cars with
out conductors
This arrangement, he said, would allow
him to sell the poorest OF the horses. which
would in Itself be great saving, as many
of them are now ouly able 70 do . very
