MEETING OF SENATE.
Members Heard the Reading of the Pres.
ident's Message and Then Adj
journed For the Day.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-The president s
message was read in the senate today.
Senators express q determination to
take up the work of the session v1gor.
ously in the beginning, with the hope
of having it well advanced before the
holidays, and they are counting upon
taking up the appropriation bills at a
very early date for the purpose of pre-.
venting an extra session, due to any
failure of part of the national budget.
1t is expected that the army deficiency
bill will reach the senate during the
present week, the understanding at the
north end of the capitol peing that the
house will dispose of it within very
few days after assembling. The COM
mittee on appropriations will bring it in
early for the double purpose of having
it passed quickly and of testing the feel
ing OF senator's on questions connected
with the war
During the closing days of the last
session Senator Morgan gave notice of
his intention to call up the Nicaragua
canal bill at the beginning of the pres
emit session. He unquestionably will
redeem this promise, and would doubt
aooo oooh ZIG AiSt opportunity DuG Tor
the possibility of change of sentiment
in favor of having the government I'M
dertake the entire responsibility of
building the canal. All the indications
are that this question will be one of
the most prominent subjects under con-
sideration during the session.
Opposition is developing to the bill
which the Hawaiian commission will
bring in and for which early considera-
ton will be asked. There is a consid-
cradle contingent in the senate opposed
to constituting the islands into terri
tory because of the apprehension that
they may be converted into state. and
de Iberate consideration of the subject
will be asked. @ r
While it is quite too early to reach a
definite conclusion there are decided in.
dicarions of disposition on the part of
the senate to confne the sessions work
to routine measures and the appropria.
ton bills, and it need surprise no one if
the close Of the session would demon.
strate that this general policy had been
pursued. e'if s@

PATIENT OLD AGE,
1t Always Finds Friends and s5:s,pn-


Truly there are trials belonging TO old
age which are hard to bear. The loss Of
faculties is the hardest, writes Mrs.
Lynn Linton. So long as one can en-
ploy oneself, not asking help from any
person-so long as one can read, write,
work, ilnit-what you will in the way
of independent occupation, old age has
lost one of its worst Infections
When blindness and deafness and in
ability 10 use the hands, and such boti-
lily weakness as makes movement i'm
p0ssibie--when all these have over
taken TIE CID, then the dregs are indeed
bitter. And then there is nothing for
il but the grand, brave dignity of pa
tience---tile noble resignation which ac-
cepts the inevitable and makes the best
OF bad conditions.
Patient old age always finds friends
and syn?pathizers. where the peeyish
and the gruublcr, like camphor atoms,
rerel all with whom they come in con-
tact. When old age is selfish and re-
pininr-tllinhing only of it's past joys
or It's present pains, the young, to whom
patience is q natural virtue, and the
shrinking frcm annoyance is natural
instinct, these young shrink from the
poor, souletl old creature, whose talk is
threaody and whose daily life is an
unwilling nartyrdom.
T.ey cannot console, and they feel
.he jealousy which denies them synpa-
thy and gives them instead an angry
kind Of reprobation. They suffer in the
cold ana shadow of a loveless and un-
syn1pat hetic, a selfish and grasping age.
They would give love if they had love
TO give them; but when they know that
the glory of their young days serves as
q text for untindly comments and un-
sympathetic :; feeling. then they with
draw, and shrink. and al TO shcw those
59seet. d attentio4s which the young love
10 she's. 1!1e o.I--if So he those dregs are

THE local Democratic candidates

in favor Of the Democratic nomi
nces. Their arguments consist
chiefly Of lies against the Repnbii-
can nominees and fnIsonie tllttery
Of the voters they arc cndeayorin~
to mis!ead. They are also very
ready with their offers To swap
votes, bat these offers are only to
lead tie Republican voter to scratch
his ticket, who, if he doess crutch it
will only find himself sold when the
votes are counted. The election of
1895 should be Il lesson to the Re
publican voters O. this county. In
that year the opposition induced
them to scratch through offers 10
swap votes, with the result that aIl
the scratching was done by the Re
pCblicans, the Democrats voted
their ticket straight. They are
trying the same scheme this year.

will the facts please tell the
miners Of Jefferson County why
lead has fallen from 50. 90 to
>'33. 20. DE Soto Press.
The only cause for the fall of
lead in the last few days that we
can surmisc is the raid Senator
CoclSrell, Stone and AItgcld have
made lately through the mining
Districts oi southwest and south
east Missouri, making speeches in
which they predicted the success of
Organism in 1898 and 1900. Of
course. this prediction will not be
verified, but the threat of these
men and their cohorts has had its
effect. The only way to have good
times permanently is to kill the
proposition to dcbasc our money
so dead it will never kick again,
and there is no better time to do
this than this fall. But notwith-
standing this slight drop in lead it
Is still 20 per cent higher than it
was in 1896. There has been for
two years 4 regular boom in lead
and lands in southeast Missouri.
DO the people want TO Kill that: If
so, vote the Democratic ticket. Do
they want this boom to continue.
Then vote the Republican ticket.
There Is the issilc. Let the people
choose which side they will take
