CHAMP CLARK AT sEDALIA.
Mfssouri'S Greatest Democratic Orr
ator EuIoEizes Democracy and
DenOunces RepubIicanism.

SEDALIA. MO-. Sept. 26.-(special) Con-
gressman Champ Clark spoke here to-
night to an audience that filled the GRIM
inal courtroom. There were no out-of-town
visitors and the overflow meeting that had
been hoped for was not necessary. Mr..
Clark was introduced by Chairman W. D.
Steele, as "Missouris greatest congress-
man, statesman and orator." and began
his remarks by reviewing the work of the
Fifty-fifth congress- by which. he said, the
Republican party must stand or fall at the
elections in November. He criticised the
Dingley tariff bill, holding it up to ridicule
and denounced the war revenue bill, which
he thanked God he had voted against. The
preliminary bill that led to the war with
Spain, he declared, was not passed by the
Republicans, but had been voted for by
Democrats and Republicans alike, only
three members of each party in congress
having voted in opposition, and they were
residents of New England coast cities, who
feared the Spaniards would shell their
homes. The Democratic party was eulo-
gized and the Chicago platform indorsed.
while everything that bordered on Repub-
licanism was denounced.

HOW TO GET FREE DELIVERY
Perry Heath Issues n Circular Letter
Outlining the Method of
Procedure,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-In replying to
numerous inquiries from all parts of the
country as to what steps are necessary to
secure rural free delivery. Perry S. Heath
first assistant postmaster general, has is
sued a circular letter as follows:
1.-THE first step usually is for the citizens
of the district to petition, through their
representatives in congress, for the estab-
lishment of rural free delivery. This peti-
ton should set out the nature of the coun-
try, whether it is thickly or sparsely popu,
lated. the leading vocations of the people
the character of the roads whether good
or bad and the distance which petitioner
has to travel or send. under existing cir
cumstances, to receive his mail. Ii the
member of congress representing that dis
trict, or the United States senator residing
therein-familiar with the local conditions
should forward the petition to the post
office department, with 2 favorable indorse-
look over the ground, TO map out suit
able route or routes, to select carriers for
appointment. and to recommend the estab-
.ishment of the service, if in his judgment,
it can be successfully and economically
carried ont. ~

SIGN OF GOOD TIMES.
Enormous Increase in Importation of
Precious Stones During
the Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-"Stick to me
and you will wear diamonds" is Il we'll
known form for promise of prosperity.
Judging by the great increase in the i'm
portation of these precious stones the Re
publican party could very appropriately
extend such a promise at this time to the
believers in protection.
The treasury bulletin shows greatly
enlarged Importation of diamonds. Here
are the figures for the two fiscal years
ending July 1, of 1887 and 1885, of diamond
importations into the United States: 1887.
portations of diamonds is, however, not
the only one in the line of decorative jew
,elry, SO to speak. The importations for the

that the importations of diamonds are in
dicatiye of the times, the demand being
large when times are good and small when
precious stones believe them m to % be the Very
best commercial barometer. If this be so.
the great demand for them at present must
prove that times are extraordinarily good
in the. United States at present.
The two chief foreign ports from which
diamonds are sent to this country are AM
sterdam and Antwerp. From Great Britain
ported to the United States, but much of it
comes from England in transit particular
ly from Switzerland, country having few
direct trade relations with the United
States. In the fiscal year of 1894. follow
ing the depression caused by the financial
disturbances of that year, the exports of
jewelry to the United States fell off one
half in amount. The expectations of
French jewelry fell off two-thirds and
from Holland four-fifths, but the losses
sustained in. the amount of exports have
been more than covered this year, as the
treasury department records show
The largest country of export of uncut
diamonds to the United States is Holland.
and England follows through the develop
ment of the diamond interests in Africa.
In importations of jewelry and precious
stones other than diamonds, France leads
and Holland follows.
The variances in the amount of business
done in diamonds and precious stones "a
trade peculiarly susceptible to trade condi-
t.ons) is shown in the case of Belgium. In
1924 its total expectations to the United
States were to the value of $4,000 in dia-
mords. iewelry and precious stones. The
year before they were $4,000, or three
times as much. The year after they Were
$4,000, or seven times greater.

STONE TO SPEAK TO-DAY.
dress to the Independence DEM
ocrats This Afternoon,

Ex-Governor William J. Stone will sneak
to the people of Independence this after
noon at 1 o'clock. The Democratic COM
mittee has done a great deal of hard work
trying to awaken some interest so that
there may be reasonable number of peo-
pie out to hear him. They put him down
for speech at Independence for two rea-
sons. One was that Governor Stone did not
want to speak in Kansas City; the other
was the committee believed ne would have
larger crowd and would do better work
there. Governor Stone knows much of the
local situation here because of the matters
brought to his attention during the cleo
ton fraud cases of 1894. He knows how
air tight the police machine was at that
time for the management of the city poll
tics and he has only to recall how with
such a combination now that all sorts of
jobs could be run through for the benefit
Of the gang that is now anxious for a
continuance of official life.
1t is not expected that county issues will
form any material portion of the address
this afternoon. Mr.. Stone is not worry
ing himself particularly about the sue
cess of some small fry politicians here, but
he is attending to the business of booming
national politics in general. and Colonel
William J. Stone in particular, with an
eve on the situation in 1900. He is using

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-The deputy

Kimban, to-day received orders from
Washington to move the remainder of the
troops at Camp Wikoff to their various
stations in the West and South. The First

The Ninth cavalry will arrive here to-
morrow on its way to stations in the de-

ment of Dakota will use the horses of the
regiment which has been guarding the In

LOCAL COMMITTEES TO BLAME
Explanation for the Failure
of POp MeettnrN.

TOPEKA, Sept. 26.-tSpeciaL) The Pop
ulist state committee has discovered at
last the cause of the 'frosts'' its cam
paigners are running up against in various
parts of the state. 1t claims that the local
county committees are to blame They are
taking no interest in politics, and won't
even bill their meetings. Superintendent
Stryker says that his meeting at Chero-
kee Saturday night had to be abandoned
there.
On account of the inactivity of the Pop
ulist county committees, the Pop state
committee is figuring on getting up a lot
of big posters and billing the meetings
itself. The posters will be printed with
blank spaces for the names of the speak
ers and the towns. These will be written
in as the meetings are arranged. The state
committee believes If it does this the local
committees will show enough interest at
least to post the bills.
