How The Governor Did it.

FROM the springfield Leader Democrat.
The Ash Grove Commonwealth, no.
ticing many kind words in the state
newspapers concerning Gov. Stephens
"latest financial TRIUMPH" asks:
"What has Governor Stephens done
that entities him to so much praise for
protecting the states credit" etc,
and wants to know further, Gin what
way he has done SOP"
The Leader Democrat has some re-
liable information upon these points,
which our good friend of the Common
aoealh perhaps has not, and now for
the first time gives it publicity.
When u present governor was
treasurer of Missouri during the latter
days of his administration, the de-
mands upon the treasury were greater
than the supply of cash on hand. The
legitimate receipts and expenditures
could not be made to connect. But
rather than have the warrants of the
state go to protest during his adj
ministration and the credit of the
state impaired, Treasurer Stephens
advanced from his own means $780,
600, a sufficient amount to enable the
state to meet promptly every demand.
He has never allowed it mentioned,
and possibly but few know it, and we
hope we violate no confidence in now
referring to 1t, since the Common
aoealh and a few other papers, which
apparently are unfriendly to the ad-
ministration, seem indisposed to give
the governor that credit to which he
is justly entitled.
Again. When the legislature ad-
journed last winter, a deficit of per-
haps $500, 600 was staring the admin
~istration in the face. The Governor
was urged by prominent M%issourians
from every quarter of the State to call
an extra session of the general assem-
bly,, that revenue legislation might be
enacted to avert what seemed to be an
inevitable calamity, and to prevent
our State credit from being damaged.
But Governor Stephens, who was q
master of the situation at the time,
stubbornly refused and said to all that
no extra session would be called dur
ing his administration If it could be
prevented and he thought he could
prevent it. He personally made ar
rangements with the American Ma
tional bank of New York City to Sc
cure all the money necessary upon his
own responsibility to meet every war;
rant. Governor Stephens vas not
ssampeded. No warrant has gone to
protest and no extra session has been
called. By refusing to call an extra
session, if no other good was accomp-
lished, he saved to the tax payers of
Missouri at least 100000 of their
money.
The Commonwealth is edited by q
gentleman who loves his State, his
party, who is proud of the States credit
at home and abroad, and by one who
believes also in fair play. He will,
therefore, as will every other Missou-
rian whether Republican or Democrat,
award Governor Stephens that praise,
sympathy and encouragement he has
justly merited, by giving to our peo-
pie an economic and q practical, bust
ness administration.

Using:
Here Is a case in point. Some time
ago when Bruton was advertising in
the appeal and giving prices on his
goods, one of our merchants told us
that he knew of several families near
Florida who dubbed together and sent
a wagon over to Sturgeon, about 40
miles distant, for a big lot of the goods
advertised. "We were selling the
same goods at about the same prices,
some of them at less" this merchant
said, and he could not understand
why these people passed his store and
went about 80 miles further to buy
their goods. The reason was simple.
Bruton pushed his goods and publish
cd his prices. The merchant in ques-
ton did not.

and by Gregory to his mother, and
though dated about one week apart,
reached here at the same time. They
stated they had reached Sheep Camp
with their stuff, about 1900 pounds,
and had 500 pounds carried on about
FIVE miles further. They were doing
their own packing. as the Indians
wanted to charge them SIC a pound to
do the work. Tom See, after reach
ing Sheep Camp, decided he could
not go further and was left there,
while the other three determined to
go over Chilkoot or 'sdie-a-trying.'
Each of the three men was carrying
rs pounds at the time, making five
mile stations, camping and returning
till the 1000 pounds were moved the
five miles. They expected to reach
Lake Lindeman in about two weeks.

These four men were selected by

that See gave up the trip. The men
are all under contract to stay out
FIVE years, unless ordered home by
the company.
