rations already in existence gives
them no more power than they
had before-in fact it curtails their
power IN one very important par
ticular, namely, the clause prohibit
ing the building of road on any
street without the consent of the
owners of a majority of front feet
on that particular street. Hereto
fore the street railway corporations
have ruthlessly disregarded this
plain right of the people. The new
law places this important feature in
the hands of the people themselves,
and removes it from the domain of
municipal Doodle.
In no sense of the word is the
new law trust breeder. Trusts
are organized to increase prices to
consumers. This law not only es-
pecially prohibits any increase of
price, but it provides for an exten-
sive system of transfers, not hereto
fore enjoyed by the people of this
city, and which virtually amounts
to big reduction in the cost of
street railway travel. This one ex-
cellent feature, in the absence of
any positively bad ones, should
have been sufficient to induce the
Governor to sign the bill. We
quote the language of his message
in this connection:
"A system of transfers is of small
profit to those who own their own
vehicles, or who have fixed places
of residence and of business, but
it is of incalcuabIe benefit to the
workman, the mechanic, the stone
mason, the bricklayer, or the artisan
whose residence is not fixed, but
must move from one locality to an
other as he can find work to do.
This class of our people is the hard
est worked, the poorest paid and
the least able to protect itself of
any body Of our fellow.citizsns,
and the benefit this bill confers
upon them strongly appeals in favor
of the bill, and was potent infu-
enee upon my action in approving
it.n

TO Jim WINDY OF LEOPOLD.

I read, Jeems. in Bollinger coun-
ty's most valuable paper, your gush
about the discovery of a gold mine.
Let me tell you that when the out
put is assayed in the federal court
you will find it a very poor quality
of brass. But if you have been in.
fringing on my patent, as | suspect,
you will need q gold mine about
next September.
About that time such suckers as
you will be falling over yourselves
to get up to the Office and settle.
Bluffs, you will find, won't go, and
the few you speak of7who have set
tied up have acted wisely. There
can be no shadow cast upon my
claim, and propose to enforce it
until the patent expires.
So you had better be digging for
the gold or greenbacks instead Of
shooting your mouth off.
And now your running mates
proposition has beer cbeerfully ac
cepted, Mr.. Windy Jim, and you
want to talk less until you know
more. You can meet around and
have your dinners and talk about
your fence, but be sure to save up
d lunch--you will need in ST. Louis
next September. So says John o.
Wygant.

Coming State Elections.

Elections for state officers will
be held in November of this year
in eleven states, as follows:
Iowa-Governor, state officers and
legislature.
Kentucky-Governor and other state
officers.
Maryland-Governor and both houses
of the Legislature.
Massachusetts, Governor, state officers
and both houses of the legislature.
Mississippi-Governor, state officers
and legislature.
Nebraska-Justices of the Supreme
court and two members of the board of
regents of the state university.
New Jersey-Eight state senators and
sixty members of the assembly.
New York-Two justices of the Su-
preme court in the 1st judicial district.
one justice in the 9th district, three
justices in the 9th district and 150 mem
bers of the general assembly,
Ohio---Geveruor and all state officers.
Pennsylvania-State treasurer, two
judges of the Supreme court and one
judge of the Superior court.
Virginia of state, treasurer
and minor state officers and legislature.
Governors, it will be seen are TO
be elected in Iowa, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississip-
pi and Ohio. Legislatures which
will elect United States senator's
are to be chosen in Iowa, Virginia
and Mississippi. The state senator's
elected next fall in New Jersey will
have a voice in the selection of a
United States senator to be chosen
at the succeeding session of the
legislature.
Ofthese elections, interest will be
keenest In the contests in Ohio,
Nebraska and Maryland. Ohio is
the presidents state aud the repub.
lican ticket recently nominated is
an administration ticket. The ont
come of the election there will be
taken, therefore, as an expression
of opinion on national issues. In
Mr.. Bryan's state, Nebraska, the
contest will be primarily test of
party strength and as such will be
watched with interest by the en- be
country. Maryland, long con.
,sidered a reliable democratic state,
is now in the hands of the republi-
cans. At the recent municipal
election 10 Baltimore the democrats
succeeded in regaining control of
that city from the republicans, and
they are looking forward to the fall
electio ns with hope of securing
control in the state.
The elections of next fall, though
comparatively few in number, are
sufficiently we'll distributed to
afford fair index of national sen
timent. For that reason they may
be expected 10 exercise an import
ant influence upon the presidential
campaign Of 1900.

Marble HILL Missouri. Thursday June 20, $780,


cluded in the territory of Marion,
butin December, 1882, Hon. Charles
II. Allen, known by the sobriquet,
"Old Horse;'' introduced a bill into
the Legislature for the organization
of Lewis county, which as previous
ly stated was originally a part of
Marion. The bill passed without
opposition and was approved by
Gov. Dunklin in January, 1888.
From 1922 till 1861 various other
counties were organized from time
to time until the present number
were organized.-Compiled for the

few years later as directors in great
financial institutions, or as million.
aires, says the Atlanta Constitution,
that the spectacle of man who for
over twenty years was prominent
in public life, dying poor, seems to
be preposterous. ALI who are ac-
quainted with Washington life are
we'll aware that the salary of a
congressman is not one which can
bring competence. If the congress
man be lawyer, he may try a case
or two in the United States supreme
court; but beyond that his field is
limited. Still it remains that we
see these gentlemen too often in
possession of wealth which cannot
be accounted for under ordinary
circumstances.
The highest compliment, there
fore, which could have been paid to
Mr.. Bland was the statement that
"he died poor" He entered con-
gress in 1873, when the civil war
syndicates were trying to realize
upon their investments in patriotism
for the thirteen years preceding.
These men were anxious to have
their bonds declared TO be of gold
value, and it was through them that
silver was demonetized. The price
which would have been paid, there
fore, for the silence of such a man
as Mr.. Bland may readily be i'm
agined. He became the leader of
the people and voloed their wishes
with such eloquence and pertinacity
that not all the forces of the money
ed power could silence. He forced
to the frontln 1878, and in the hour
of the peoples darkest peril, when
the democratic convention Of 1892
was captured, he still held aloft the
flag of popular demands. II was a
supreme moment in 1896 when one
of the great parties of the nation
was rallied against its own old lead
ers as we'll as against the money
power, and took place as the rep
resentative of the people. During
all of this time Mr.. Bland might
have secured wealth by simply in
dicating his willingness to accept
it. He might have become rich and
remained in his home town Of Leb-
anon, Mo-; or he might have moved
to New Jersey, New York or Bos,
ton, and enjoyed the usufruct of his
trade; but Mr.. Bland was not that
sort of a man. He was one ofthose
rare men who are found upon oc-
caslon to become the tribunes of the
people, and it is due to his lncorrup-
tible nature that the statement
could be made after his death that
che died DOor!n

The war in the Philippines has
already cost the American people
twelve million dollars. In addition
TO the money expended we have
practically destroyed the health of
at least twenty thousand soldiers
to whom pensions must be paid in
the future. Hundreds of our brave
boys have been killed upon the
battle field and have died of disease.
To offset all this loss we can only
boast of having killed few thous-
and Filipinos, and succeeded in
making the people of those islands
our permanent enemies; inflicted
great moral injury upon our own
people and forfeited our good name
among the civilized and Christian
nations of the earth. What are

Some Missouri History,

Lafayette visited st. Louis in
1926.
The first session of the Legisla-
ture met at Jefferson City in 1926.
Daniel Dunklin, fourth governor
of Missouri was born in South Caro-
lima.
In 1850 the population Of Mis-.
souri, was $4,000; in 1890 2,679,1S4.
The first Encouragement of Mis-
souri, WAS Edward Bates of 81. Louis
county.
The judges of the Supreme Court
were appointed by the governor
until 1851.
Alexander McNair, the first gov.
ernor of Missouri, was a Pennsylvan-
ian by birth.
John Scott was Missouri's first
congressman. At the time of the
admission of Missouri as a state our
commonwealth was entitled to but
one congressman.
The Asiatic cholera, in an ex-
treme epidemical form, broke out
in st. Louis in 1882 and spread TO

violent epidemic.
The original state house was
