CHIEF JUSTICE BARCLAY of the
Supreme court of Missouri rendered
his resignation to Gov. Stephens
Jan. 20. The governor has ap-
pointed NJ. W. Williams of Boon
vile to the vacancy. The resigna-
toin of Judge Barclay will be re,
gretted by his friends in all parts OF
the state, but their hearty good
wishes for his happiness and pr os,
perity will always follow him.
Mr.. Williams, the newly appointed
judge, has attained an enviable rep

no doubt will be Il candidate before
the people at the November election
for the ensuing term.

Mr.. BRYAN has contributed TO
the New York World very inter-
esting account of his visit to Mex
leo, which he undertook both for
pleasure and. information. He
goes over the whole ground of his
tour in his article, but that portion
which relates to the financial and
industrial condition of Mexico is of
more timeliness and importance
than the rest.
Mr.. Bryan found that the free
coinage of silver, in spite of the
fluctuations of exchange, as marked
by the rise and fall Of the premium
on gold, is entirely satisfactory to
the people of Mexico. They have
had ample opportunity to test the
system and to compare It's results
with those of the gold standard in
Europe and tho United States, and
they arc altogether satisfied with
the situation SO far as they arc con-
cerned. This satisfaction extends
40 the government officials, who
show no disposition TO favor tho
gold standard.

WE notice some intimatiOn that a
dark horse is likely to show up in
the race for the nomination in the
democratic congressional conven-
tion in this district. The year 1898
will not be good year for dark
horses in the Fourteenth district.
W. d. Vandiver is q bright mem
Der in Missouri's democratic dele
cation in congress, who is serving
his constituents we'll and honorably,
and they will not permit the ever
present clark horses" to cast it's
shadow across his pathway to keep
him from becoming his own success
or. If there is to be a contest for
o nomination it will be between
men who are willing to let their
ambitions be known to the people,
and the Micawber, waiting for
something to turn up, will be per.
mitted to sit in the shadow of his
darkness unnoticed.
The foregoing warning IS from
the Poplar Bluff Citizen, and is not
only true but timely and appropri,
ate. Let us have no skulduggery
in the matter, but an open, fair, day,
light fight and Mr.. Vandiver will
win hands down. Every day,
since his nomination two years age,
he has grown in strength with the
people and we don't believe any
fairly organized convention will
defeat him for another nomination,

For THE PRESS.
This and That.


Can hog cholera be prevented?
The wise men in the agricultural
department think that it can. For
nearly year experiments have
been carried on in Iowa and Ne
braska, under the supervision of
the department, in the incubation
of hogs with serum obtained in q
similar manner to thatus in vacci-
nation for smallpox and diphtheria.
Horses have been used for the pur,
pose, being inocculated with the
cholera germs day after day until
no effect is apparent. The serum
from their blood is then used to in
ocnlate healthy hogs, and also those
already seized by the disease in its
early stages. ALI the healthy hogs
so inoculated have been exempt
from contagion, though exposed to
it constantly; and IS per cent Of
the diseased have been cured. The
Importance Of this discovery, if it
proves to be practically available,
can hardly be exaggerated. The
annual loss from hog cholera in the
United States is estimated at more
than $90,000,000. The loss in Iowa
alone is $l5,000,000. IF this can be
saved by the small expense of inoc-
ulation, it will be so much clear
gain to the farmers. The secretary
Of agriculture will ask congress for
large appropriations to enable him
to produce the serum on a large
scale and distribute 1t to farmers
with instructions for its use.
A queer resolution was intro
duced in the Iowa legislature last
week. IT provided for the appoint
ment Of committee to inquire into
the expediency of having the text
books for use in the schools printed
and bound in the state penitentiary,
and to be sold by the state at actual
cost. While it is not likely that
prison labor will actually invade
,he publishing trade, the resolution
indicates a feeling that if the state

than our gold dollar. Mr.. Bryan
goes somewhat into the wage ques'
ton, showing that there are differ
ences in wages in the same EN-
ployent in different sections.
There are different conditions, diff
ferent energies and different eli
mates, and in Mexico the poems can
actually live on almost as little
money as the mill workers IN New
England.
This latter statement is ours and
not Mr.. Bryan's. In the issue of
the World in which his article ap-
pears, there is q candid report of
the condition Of affairs in New
Bedford, Mass. Omitting the ex-
amples of starvation, we mention
the case of "a woman who has been
supporting herself and two others
by working in the mills. The re-
cent reduction would give her
$3.50 q week. Out Of this must
come the weekly rent Of $l.25.
THIS leaves the three persons 25
cents day with which to feed and
clothe themselves!
Can the Mxican poems hcat that
record? Is there any such con-
dition in Mexico? No, brethren,
you'll have to so TO India to match
it. And it is only one case out of
thousands in this country today.
Think of that, advocates of the
gold standard, when next year you
begin to compare the condition of
American wage-earners with those
of Mexico! That is the condition
to which the gold standard is bring
ing the great mass of wage, earners
in this country.-Atlanta Constitu-

about "Civic Success and Failure" The prin-

restricted immigration, which prevented the
cities Of this country from attaining n proper
individuality. The presence of a great foreign
element in the population could not but affect
the civic characteristics. e The tendency of this
was best illustrated by tho actions of Ameri-

PHILADELPHIA. March 3.-It has been known
for several weeks that John Wanamaker does
not desire to enter a contest for Governor Of
Pennsylvania. That fact is no longer q secret.
As indicated In q despatch to The SUN on Feb.
Is. all things point to an understanding that
David Martin in this city is committed to the
candidacy OF Peter A. B. .Widener for Governor.
Certain other signs in the political at
mosphere go to confirm the opinion that
the Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay will DO
not for William A.. Stone of Allegheny,
but for Widener, also. There Is a deal in this
State to-day to make Widener the candidate, OF
a harmonious State organization, and the in
dependent element which started a boom In, the
early part of February for MIR, Wanamaker.
who as then returning from abroad, are bo-
ginning to SEQ 1t. Knowing the condition OF the
sentiment in the interior Of Pennsylvania. and
the volcanic aspect OF anti.Quayism In certain
districts, the managing politicians have given
no publicity TO their plans.
Mr.. Quay would not undertake another Della
mater canvass, which might be tho case with
William A. Stone on the ticket, to please Boss
William ii. Andrews, formerly of Gre WORD
county. Against stone. Wanamaker as an indie
pendent candidate, would attract hundreds OF
thousands of votes. No Republican candidate
can hope to carry every Republican county In
the state next fall except the candidate OF a
united Republican party.

Newspaper bill. Mr.. Danforth said:
Yes, I have no hesitation in saying that 1 am
opposed to the Ellsworth bill. l fail TO discover
the wisdom of the Democrats pulling Republic
can chestnuts out of the fire. The Democrats as
a rule have no grievance against the press of
the State, and it has been their traditional
policy to always defend the freedom of the
press whenever it has been attacked. If the
Republicans have any grievances against
any or all OF the newspapers and want
to curtail their powers and privileges.
their legislation without any help from
us. The support OF the Ellsworth bill by
Democrats in the Legislature is rs unwise and
impolitic as was the opposition to the Biennial
Sessions bill ten days ago. That policy has been
reversed. and any policy which now favors the
Ellsworth bill should DO reversed also. But
aside from political consideration, which ought
to have some weight among Democrats. the bill
is objectionable on higher grounds. 1t attempts
unreasonHbly ana improperly to .curtail that
freedom Of the press which. has always existed
and which. in my opinion, should still be main.
tanned. | regret to differ with some party
friends upon this question, but a great oppor-
tunity win DO lost 4 the Democrats do not limo
UP against the bill"
