SINCE Boss Filley kicked out of
the republican party traces the hoot-
ings Of the little fellows in their
country papers are amusing. Just
to show how quick they are to re
pudiate man whose bidding was
law twelve months ago, we copy
from few of them. The Perry
County Republican says: "Old Man
Filley has finally realized that he
cuts but little ice in the republican
party of Missouri, and the fact that
he no longer rules the party has
made the old gentleman sore; yes,
very sore. He has lately given his
views in several democratic papers
he could not get any republican
paper TO publish them-in which
he denounces the Mckinley admin
istration, roasts Mark Hanna and
Webster Davis. Why all this?
Simply because dc ole man had
no say IN dispensing the public pat
ronage of the state, and it makes
him mad. His talk is anti-republi,
can and steps should be taken to re-
move him from the chairmanship
of the republican state committee.
The sooner it is done the better for
the party"
If a dem ocratic paper had said as
much few months ago the Repub-
lican would have raised a fearful
howl But Ben Adams, in his Cape
Democrat, is worse than any of
them. He prods ode ole man" af-
ter this fashion:
"Old man FilIey is furnishing
thunder for the democratic papers.
Ola age is telling on the Old De-
mandor."
"The Filley men in this county
are not as numerous as they were Il
few weeks ago. Patriotic republi-
cans have no use for traitor"
"The members of the republican
state committee are protesting
against Chauncey |. Filley, chair
man of that committee. De Ole
Man has got his foot in it this time.
As leader of the republican party
in Missouri Mr.. Pilloy's days are
about numbered"
And, with these filings from pa
pers that blindIy follow the party
leaders glancing off his broad should
ers every hour, ode ole man" con-
tinues to do business at the same
place and delights in denouncing
Mark Hanna and machine politics.

In lecture in Atlanta the other
evening Sam Jones touched up the
Georgia Legislature in great shape.
He said, among other good things:
1.-TWO thirds of the members Of the
Georgia Legislature are Christian
gentlemen and members of the
church, and the other day when the
anti-barroom bill was up before
them two-thirds of them voted
against it. l want to tell you right
here, bud, that you are member
of the church and voted against the
anti.barroom bill, when you go
home to die you had better tell
your wife to bury you in the thin,
nest suit of clothes you've got, for
you are going to a mighty warm
climate" He said that he was not
there working for any prohibition
legislation, for he had too much
sense to come to the gang now in
tho legislature for any such thing
"Why," he said, Il had as soor
think of going to Alaska for pine
apples or to hell for water as tc
that gang at the statehouse trying
to get any legislation against the
barrooms." As the concluding
touch he said: "If there are any ot
you in the audience now you neec
rot say 'ifyou reflect on my honor
l will kill you,' for how in th'
world can l reflect on something
that you have not got"

SENATOR JONES of Arkansas, one
of the soundest and most conserva-
tive democrats in the United States,
gave his views upon the Hawaiian
annexation scheme in clear and un-
equivocal language the other day.
He said:
81 am opposed to it.
uFirst, because [ am unalterably
opposed to extending our territor-
ial limits beyond the continent.
"Second, because the Hawaiian
Islands are so remote from our
coast line their defense in the event
of war would be enormously ex-
pensive and troublesome.
"Third, because they do not com.
prise sufficient area to makea state,
and their maintenance as terrific
nv would violate the intent Of the
constitution.
"Fourth, because it would be al
most impossible for congress to de-
wise a government for them that
would not result in confusion and
failure.
"Fifth, because of the unfit and
undesirable character of the popu
lation. No matter how favorable
surroundings for improvements
might be made, the large percent
are of the population would remain
unfit for citizenship"
Any ono of these reasons woult
be more than sufficient to preven
annexation II there were not biz

ROBERT Il. LEWIS, the man Lon
V. Stephens run all around for gov
ernor in '96, and who is regarded
by the intelligent portion of his
party as q thorough "skate," has
his fling at Filley. Speaking of
the letters from Mr.. Filley, recent
ly published in democratic newspa-
pers, Mr.. Lewis said that he posi-
lively and nnreservedly denounced
them as slanderous and uncalled
for, and unrepublican from every
standpoint, and declared that they
simply gave aid and comfort to the
enemy, and were clearly traitorous.
Mr.. Filley deserved to forfeit the
respect and support Of republicans
by allowing himself to be guilty of
snch conduct.

The Lords PRAYER.

Thou TO the mercy seat our souls doth
gather.
To do our duty unto thee-OUR FATHER,
To whom all praises, all honor, should be
given,
For thou art the great God WHO ART IN
HEAVEN;
Thou, by thy wisdom, rul'st the worlds whole
frame,
Forever, therefore, HALLOWED BE THY
NAME.
Let never more delay divide US from
Thy glorious grace, but let THY KINGDOM
COME;
Let thy commands opposed be by none,
But thy good pleasure and THY WILL BE
DONE
And let our promptness to obey be even
The very same IN EARTH, AS 1T IS IN
HEAVEN.
Then for our souls, 0 Lord, we also pray
Thou wouldst be pleased to GIVE US THIS
DAY
The food Of life, wherewith our souls are fed,
Sufficient raiment, and OUR DAILY
BREAD;
With every needful thing do thou relieve us,
And of thy mercy pity AND FORGIVE US
All our misdeeds, for Him who thou didst
please
To make an offering for OUR TRES
PASSES;
And forasmuch, 0 Lord, as we believe
That thou wilt pardon us AS WE FOR
GIVE.
Let that love teach, wherewih thou GN0st &C.
quaiit us,
To pardon all THOSE WHO TpESPASS
AGAINST US;
And though sometimes, thou hndst we have
forgot
This love for thee, yet help, AND LEAD US
NOT
Through soul or bodJ's want to desperation.
Nor let earlh's gain drive us INTO TEMP
TArION;
Let not the soul Of any true believer
Fall in The time of trial, BUT DELIVER
Yea, save them from The malice of the deYil,
And beth in life and death keep US FROM
EVIL.
Thus pray we, Lord, for that Of thee, from
whom
This may be had, FOR THINE IS TIE
KINGDOM,
This world is of thy work, its wondrous
story,
TO thee belongs THE POWER AND THE
GLORY,
And all thy wondrous works have ended
never,
But will remain for ever and FOREVER.
Thus we poor creatures would confess
again,
And would say eternally, AMEN.

ception of the offer OF 50, 500, 900 received
soma time ago from the Union Pacific re-
organization committee for the Govern
ment's interest il the Kansas Pacific
which was promptly declined, the Govern
ment has received no intim alton as to the
purposes OF the committee with respect to
the sale set for Dece m Der 16. The Govern
ment Is now in a position 10 bid at the
sale, and but for the resolution adopted
by the Senate to-day asking the PresiG en- t
to apply to the court for po3tpon ament,
there is no doubt that it woIld have done
so, had the committee failed 10 make an
acceptable offer The Senate resolution,
however, changes the situation. Attorney
General McKenna will soon be in the pre-
paratlon OF the necessary papers in the
case, and Will a once ask the court 10 set
a date for the hearing in the argument in
support of a motion for postponement.
The attorney has had no doubt that the
motion will be granted upon the showing
that he Will be able to make. The Sem
ate resolution directs the Attornev-Gen-
eral TO send TO the Senate a full statement
Of his proceedings concerning the lien of
the Government upon the Kansas Pacific
Railroad, striking out that portion of the
resolution ca ling for a staten ent in re-
gard to the agreements concerning the
sale OF the road. 1t is understood that
the passage of the resolution, as amended,
is agreeable 10 The Attorney-General, and
the opinion was given at the meeting that
its passage would preclude any action
upon the bill introduced sterday by
Senator Gear, providing means for fore
closing the Kansas Pacific mortgage.
