They Never Stop to Consider.

Two very simple propositions for
lahoring men to consider are these:
Whether their interests are better
promoted by paying a premium of
about 40 per cent in decreased
wages to enjoy the luxury of a
Democratic administration of ma
tional affairs, than by receiving
an equal amount III advance pay to
see the affairs Of state administer
ed intelligently and upon q sound
business sis!-Bonnc Tcrre Reg
lister.
Yes the above arc two very sim
pie propositions, but unfortunate
ly for St. Francois County, and
the State of Missouri as we'll, there
is a class of people, dependent up
on their daily wages. who are nev-
er guided in casting their ballot by
thoughtful consideration of how to
vote best in their own interest and
in the interest of the community in
which they live. They would rath-
cr vote the Democratic ticket and
pay the. premium on the luxury
of maintaining a Democratic gov
ernment than to be in the right if
right must come by other than the
Democratic party. They never
stop to consider. The voice of the
demagogue, who, for his party
interests, argues that white is
black, is accepted as divine in
spiration of the truth, regardless
of the fact that intelligence teaches
otherwise. 1t is because of this
class that the General Assembly of
Missouri is controlled by a part y
which is now making war upon the
corporatcd industries of the State.

Feeds Them Republican Leavings.

Lucion Stebbins, of Lincoln
County, Neb., member of the
Legislature in 1897, and known in
Western Nebraska as the father Of
Populism, has issued an address to
the members Of that party in the
state, in which he declares that the
time has come for the Populists to
cat loose from the Democrats and
fight their political battles heleaf-
ter alone. He charges that 20, 900
Populists refrained from voting at
the last election because of their
disgust with the policy of fusion as
run by VIM. }. Bryan, VIM. Y.
Allen and others. He says there
was trickery IN the National Pop
ulist conference at Omaha, in
which the true PopuIist conference
at Omaha, in which the true Popu-
lists were hoodwinked into fusion
declaration by the connivance of
Senator Marion Butler. Mr.. Steb-
bins concludes as follows:
Bryan says the Republicans do
not want free silver, and that is a
good reason why the Democrats
should want it. Bryan will soon
have you confusion Pops eating
junk, bottles and crindstoncs, be-
cause Republican won't cat them.
Bryan will take you to some Old
deserted Republican camp, and
point to some CID sartlino cans and
broken vessels and invitc you to
fill yourselves. Any old thing a
Republican won't have is good
enough for Democrat. And you
will eat it and stand with your
mouths open yawping for more.
Anything to beat the Republicans.
There never was any fusion in this
confusion business. From start to
finish it was conspiracy on the
part of the political pirate, Bryan.

assassin, Allen"

postmasters, Beware.

Alonzo Armstrong, Assistant
Postmaster at Linden. Mo-, was
fined $50 in Federal Court of Kan
sas City on the 18th inst, and Or
dered ousted from office for the in
nocent and petty violation of Il
postal law. Some time ago he
wished to buy some merchandise
by mail order. The stamps re-
quired amounted to 81. Is, and these
he purchased from himself and in
closed in the letter with his order.
He claims to have put the money
for the stamps in the cash drawer
at the time the stamps were taken
out. There is no discrepancy in
the post ofco accounts. But this
allegation and fact did not Get

They did not want any ''interna-
tional agrcement about free silver,
bnt would have it ''without wait
ing for the .aid or consent of any
"ther nation They repudiated
that plank Of their platform during
the canvass in whic! Cleveland was
elected, and they denounced Cleve-
land and all his works steadily
from the time Of his election on to
the meeting Of the national conven-
ton which broke loose from him
ard the teachings of all the repre-
sentative Democrats along to that
time. If a man who does not sup
port the platform of party is not
entitled to admission to the floor of
the convention Of the party which
framed it, and Stone and Bryan
say he is not, then both these in
teresting characters ought to have
been excluded from the convention
of 1896. Bryan, indeed, went
even further than Stone against his
party's teachings in 1892, for he
took the stump for Weaver in that
y ear, and cast his ballot for him.
If the doctrine which these two
worthless want to apply to other
Democrats h q 4 been invoked
against them at the time the CON
yention of 1896 WAS held, these
personagcs would have been shut
out of that gathering. Globe

j AT the antitrust dinner to ht
given in St. Louis in & few days
the ''unyielding principles" o1
Democracy are to be affirmed. \
glance back over the party's re-
cord, however. reveals the fact that
its ''unyieIding principles have
either been severely stretched or
have given away entirely on sever
al occasions. In 1892 the Demo
cratic platform declared, ''tIat az
adequate protection to American
industry is indispensable to the
prosperity of the. country" In
1887 the party declared its hosti|i-
ty to bank notes and paper money
as circulating medium. In 1876
it denounced the failure of the
government to make good the
promise Of legal tender notes; and
also denounced the tariff duties of
that time. In 1880 the party stood
for ''honest money, consisting Of
gold, silver and paper, controvcr-
tible into coin on demand: the
strict maintainance of public faith:
also a tariff ''for revenue only"
In 1888 it wanted a tariff in the
interest of American labor. In
1892 free trade in raw materials
and cheaper manufactured goods
was the party cry. In 1896 the
party declared for free coinage of
silver ut Is to l., and favored I'M
limited .recnbacks. 1t had also
gotten around to Il tariff for rev.
enue again. Consistency is jewel
which has never had Il great value
in the eyes of our Democratic
friends. The ''unyieIding princi-
PIES of the party have always
conveniently adjusted themselves
to the force of circumstances.

How Stone Hits Stone.

Ex-Gov. Stone, of Missouri, has
dealt a neat blow at himself,
Bryan, and the rest of the Bryan
ite party. In an interview in New
York he declared that ''the men
who voted for Mckinley Or for
Palmer and Buckner in 1896 are
not Democrats, and they are not
entitled to admission to the floor of
the convention of 1900, for, until a
new platform is adopted, the old
one stands as the creed of the
party"
If this doctrine had been rigidly
adopted let us see what it would
have done to Stone and his friend
Bryan. The Democratic platform
of 1892 declared that ''the dollar
unit of coinage of both metals must
be of equal intrinsic and exchange
able value, Or be adjusted through
inter national agreement, OF by such
safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the par
ity of the two metals, and the
equal power of every dollar at all
times in the markets and in the
payment of debts, and we demand
that all paper currency shall be
kept at par with and redeemable in
such coin."
Stone and Bryan repudiated that
utterance of their party platform
! of 1892 before the ink was, dry up

THE Indepcndcnt last week

The Independent last week, in
IN article abusive of the present
Republican county court, suggests
that fumigation of the room in
which the court sits is necessary
after each session. If there is any
truth in certain rumors now going
the rounds, we concur in the Inde-
pendcnt's opinion that the county
court room needs fumigation and
moral disinfection, not so much,
however, because Of the court ses-
sions, but because of certain alleged
executive sessions held there be-
hind closed doors. The editor of
the Independent should bear in
mind the fact that Democracy al
ways stinks as loudly as Republi-
canism smells, and there is no ex-
ception to this rule in the present
occupants of the court house.

CORK LEG BALkED SUICIDE.

New York Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch: A
man tried to drown himself in the North
river yesterday by jumping off a ferry
boat. Unfortunately for his purpose.
he wore a cork leg. and the leg not only
refused to sink, but kept the would-be
suicide so far out of the water that he
could not drown. He was very much
disguised, particularly when he found
himself under arrest in Jersey City on a
charge of disorderly conduct. Suicide is
not a punishable offense in Jersey City.
Had he tried to drown himself in New
York waters he would have found himself
in much worse plight as regards the law.
