The Circuit JudgshIp.

IRONTON, Mo-, April 18th, 1898.
Dear Mr.. A6e-I dislike to appear so
often in print, especially in reference
to public affairs, since my tastes are
not to intrude. But my interest in the
integrity of our courts is great, (and
yet not more than that of every other
citizen hence beg to say a word.
In last weeks REGISTER l read
Judge Green's letter to the Democrats
of jefferson county with singular in
terest. knowing nothing of the fued
in that county, I was surprised that
any number of men could be found
these times TO make war on a Judge
for the reasons stated, viz: that he had
failed to decide certain election cases
in favor of his party friends. But if
was surprised at this, was the more
pleased at the manly honorable stand
taken by Judge Green in his letter.
Every honest impartial man will
heartily applaud these manly senti-
ments of Judge Green:
''Ihe law is no respector of persons,
and those whose duty it is to admins
ter and enforce it should neither be act
uated by malice nor favoritism. l
have always believed that Judge
should feel himself under equal obliga
ton to all citizens and special Obliga-
ton to none.
IF l should again be selected as
Judge of this Circuit, | will endeavor
faithfully to be guided by this rule.
do not believe that the Democratic
party of jefferson county desires to
declare as a tenet of its political faith,
that Judge of Court, nominated by
the party, shall degrade his manhood
and dishonor his office by rendering a
partisan decision when a political
question is involved
There never should be any question
amongst right-thinking men but that
the Judge on the Bench, in the admin
istratration of the law, should be abSo-
Iutely impartial, and 1lerer, in his iudg-
ments, indulge in any favoritism be-
tween parties or men. In other words,
that he should act at alt times, and I'M
der all circumstances, with absolute
inlpGrtidlity. and without bias. | ad-
mire Judge Green's determination to
maintain his Integrity on the Bench,
and to administer the law according to
the evidence and not according to par
ttSdn clamor, or personal influence.
That is the only course that will stand
the test of all time, and meet the ap-
prevail of every man who loves justice
and the institutions of his country.
Whatever the faction in Jefferson
county opposed to Judge Green for the
alleged reasons, may demand, | hope
the Democrats of the other counties
will have the courage and the man
hood to stamp jefferson county clamor
with disapproval, and stand by the
man Judge Green) who has dared to
rise above local clamor, and act i'm
partially on the Bench, according to
the lGaO and the eUidence.
Very truly yours,
j. w. EMERSON.

They Must Pay.

Fifty leading citizens of Frederick
town, Mo, will have to go down in
their pockets aud satisfy a judgment
o. 81, 900 with interest and costs rem
dered by the St. Louis Court o. Appeals
yesterday. They have been ordered
I'd pay the Madison County Bank that
amount on a promissOry note. The
peculiar feature of the case is that the
men who are mulcted did not receive
one cent of the proceeds of the note.
In 1894 the conference of the Meth
Odist Church for the southern part of
Missouri was seeking Q location for an
institution of learning. to be under the
control and patronage of that denomi-
nation. Many of the prominent citi-
zens and taxpayers of FredericktOwn
donated ten acres of land adjoining the
city limits to the church authorities
and promised to erect a $25, 900 build
ing. The college was erected, but the
building committee found that it need
ed about 81, 900 to complete the struct-
ure. A public meeting was called and
a committee was named to raise funds.
Arrangements were made whereby the
bank loaned the committee 81, 600 on
note ssgned by fifty citizens.
Suit was eventually filed against the
makers, but the defense was that no
consideration had passed between the
bank and the makers of the note.
Fraud was also alleged by the defend
ents, who claimed that misrepresenta-
lions were made to them as to the
amount of subscriptions still to be col
lected.
The Court of Appeals ruled that the
note was valid, the valuable considera-
ton being the expense, trouble and in
convenience experienced by the bank.
On the question of fraud the court
ruled that the defendants could not set
up that defense against the bank,
which had acted innocently and in
good faith in advancing the money at
the request of the fifty citizens.-St

Little Harry B. Webb, son Of James
w. and Nevada Z. Webb, born Deem
Der 18th, 1897, died March Goth, 1898.
The funeral was preached by the
writer at the home of James w. Webb
at Doe Run, Mo-, on March 2Sth, from
the following text: 'And God shall
wipe away all tears from their eyes,
and there shall be no more death
neither sorrow nor crying. Neither
shall there be any more pain for the
former things are passed away" Rev.
21:4. We would say to the bereaved
ones, Weep not, for little Harry has
gone to live with Jesus and the angels
throughout all eternity. Our Savior
said, Suffer little children to come
unto me and forbid them not for of
such is the kingdom of God!' Little
Harry knew nothing of the troubles of
this world. neither did he know any
sin, therefore we believe that he has
swept through the pearly gates into
that beautiful city whose builder and
maker is God, where he is wearing the
robe of righteousness and the crown Of
everlasting life. The remains were
laid to rest in the I. o. o. F. cemetery
at Doe Run, Mo.

The Senate committee resolutions in
reference to Cuba, submitted yesterday,
are as follows:
''First-That the people of the Isl
and of Cuba are and of right out to be
Independent.
'SecOnd-That the war Spain is
waging against Cuba is so destructive
of the commercial and property inter
ests of the United States, and so cruel,
barbarous and inhuman in its charac-
ter as to make it the duty of the United
States to demand, and the Government
of the United States hereby does de-
mand, that she at once withdraw her
land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters.
.'Third-That the President of the
United be and he hereby is empower
ed and directed to use the entire land
and naval forces of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect.
''Fourth-That the President is au-
thorized to call out the militia Of the
different States to such an extent as
may be necessary to carry these reso-
lutions into effect"
The House committees resolutions
are practically the same, and their
adoption means war with Spain. De-
cisive action will probably be had
within forty-eight hours.
P. S.-The Republican House, by a
vote of 100 to 147, refused to grant
belligerent rights to the Cubans, but
voted for armed Intervention.

j. &. Carly of Wayne county an
nounces in this weeks issue of the
REGISTER as a candidate for Circuit
Judge. Josh Carly needs no introduce
tion to the people of Iron county. He
is generally recognized as one of the
brightest young lawyers in Southern
Missouri and possesses qualifications
that peculiarly fit him for the Bench.
Should he be the successful candidate
there is no question but that he would
make a record, which would fully jus
tify the predictions of his most ardent
supporters and admirers.

The REGISTER this week publishes
the announcement of Edward L. Ever
sole of Washington county as candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for Circuit Judge in this Judicial Cir
cult. Mr.. Eversole is lawyer of
recognized ability, and his standing
as a man and citizen are all that could
be desired in one seeking the honora-
BILE and responsible position of Circuit
Judge. His claims are entitled to,
and will doubtless receive, the careful
consideration of the voters of the
Circuit.

Against the Text Book Law.

The following was unanimous adopt
ed at School Meeting District No. /,
Township 80, Range east, Iron coun-
ty, Mo-:
Be it resolved by this meeting that
we oppose the Textbook Law chang
ing all our books every five years. 1t
is robbing the poor and favoring the
publishing houses and book sellers,
taking thousands of dollars out of the
homes of the country people and plac-
ing it in the hands of the trade. 1t is
hard for many to get money to buy
books, and last year patrons could not
get the old nor the new books.
Be it further resolved that this be
sent to the IRON COUNTY REGISTER for
publication.

THE Supreme Court of Illinois, en-
banc, last Saturday handed down a de-
cision declaring unconstitutional, null
and void the butterine law passed by
the late legislature of that State. The
judges declare that the manufacturers
of butterine have God-given right TO
color their product to suit themselves
Missouri also has fool statute similar
in its provisions to the Illinois law.
1t has been in effect since 1895. and
has been consistently and honorably
ignored. 1t is no more dishonest to
color butterine than butter; if the one
act is fraud, so is the other. But the
idea of the average legislator setting
himself up as an arbiter of color-taste
in the ''spreadin' we use!

GEN. LEE left Havana Saturday and
landed on American soil early Sunday
morning. He was the last American
to leave Cuba under the protection of
the American flag. When he hauled
down the Star and Stripes and went on
board the Government steamer Fern,
intercourse between the
United States and the representatives
of the Spanish Government in Cuba
ceased. Before boarding the Fern,
General Lee called at the Palace to
say farewell to Captain General Blan-
co. He was CURLY told that General
Blanco did not care to see him. When
he left the Palace he was ieered at by
soldiers and citizens. Thousand of
citizens, who lined the shores of the
harbor. reYiled the Consul General
and all Americans as the ships carry
ing the refugees sailed out of the
harbor. 1t seems the Spaniards are
determined to have their lesson, and
they Will get it. But the tuition fee
will be high.

Plants Which Give Light.

There are a number of plants and
flowers which give out a phosphorcs-
cent light in the dark. Linnaeus first
noticed this phenomenon in the com.
mon nasturtium, whose flowers seemed
to him to have a faint i%ridescence at
night. Later observations by others
showed that the light was stronger af-
ter very sunny days. Among other
plants which possess this singular prop
crty are the marsh lily and the fraxin.

oil which oozes out during hot weather,
spreads in a thin layer over the flowers,
