JEFFERSON CITY, No, Mar.
IN. J. Jenkis, member Of the
House from jasper County, who is
beth farmer and a preacher, has
made statements to the committee
appointed. to adjust the clerical
force tanole, which indicate that
inc influence of Col. William II.
Phelps with certain heads Of de-
I1artments in the House is greater
than that of a member.
Jenkins is asking the committee
to reinstate G. w. Lewis Of Joplin
County, who was dismissed immed-
lately after the Delzeli reduction
resolution was adopted. The com
ulittee consulted the record and
found that jenkins had endorsed
.hree men for clerkships. They
were Lewis who served on the
force of Chief Clerk Newman,
Frank Lame, on the engroSsing
force and +. W. Reed on the en-
rolling force. The engrossing
force is under the charge of Joseph
Toll and Robert W. Morrow has
charge of the enrolling force. The
record also showed that in tcchni
cal compliance with the DelzclI res
oiution two of Mr.. jenkins clerks
lad been left in positions. They
we're Reed and Lamb.
When Mr.. jenkins was CON
fronted with these facts, he told
the committee it was true he had
stood sponsor for the three. but
that he was not at all concerned
about Lamb and Reed. He said
Lewis was his personal friend and
the only one of the three whose ap-
pointmcnt he had taken the trouble
to request. He told the committee
that Lamb was an cmployc of Col.
Phelps and that Reed was also one
of the lobby's agents. Both came
from Jasper County, which is also
the home of Col. Phelps. Mr..
Jenkins said when the House was
organized, Lamb and Reed were
given places without consulting
him, and that he did not ask that
he did not ask that they be appoint
ed. Afterward he was told that
bis recommendation of them was
wanted merely for the sake Of
form. On that representation, he
said, he allowed his name to be
used as sponsor for them.

The Democracy's Dark Days.

That robustly Democratic paper.
the New Orleans Pirayunc, paints
the future Of its patty in dark, but
correct, colors. 1t calls attention
to the fact that in the next Senate
tie Democracy will have no repre-
sertatives except from the South
ern states and from Utah. Gorman.
Turpic, Murphy, Smith, Faulkner,
and a large number Of other Dem
Ocratic Senators retiring with the
present Congress, and remarks,
"and yet the Democracy, without
leaders, without men Of experience
and wisdom, is talking about or
ganizing victory in 1900. The
prospect, to Democrats who be-
lieve in principals and leadership,
is discoura.inc in the extreme.
This picture is black, bnt it is
true to life. Outside of the old
slave region the Democrats will
not have single member in the
Senate which is about to begin, ex-
cept from Utah. No parallel to
this condition Of things has been
seen in all the previous 100 years
of the history of the Democratic
party. Moreover, the intellectual
barrenncss of the Democracy will be
as marked rs its numerical poverty.
Aside from Morgan. Vest and
Jones Of Arkansas, there will not
be single Democrat in the next
Senate Of respectable ability and
character, and Morgan is hostile to
his party on the paramount qucs-
ton of expansion, while the princi-
pie for which Vest and Jones dis
tinctively stand in recent politics,
that Of monetary debasement and
national disaster and dishonor, is
one that makes these two states
men the most unsafe sort of ad-
visers.
1t is no wonder that intelligent
Democratic papers like the Picay-
une declare that the prospect fol-
the Democracy is "diScouraging III
the extreme" In ability and char
acter, indeed, the Democratic par
ty in the Senate which is about tc
come into being will be weaker

Prosperity based upon the larger
tendencies Of the worlds commerce
is the most promising and lasting
kind. Foreign countries are stead
lily cnlarging their orders for artic-
les made in this country. Our
manufactures. artisans and inyen-
tors are becoming better known cv-
cry year and widening the tcrrito-
ry in which they can count upon y
market. The demand for our ag-
ricultural productions varies ac-
cording to the size Of crops u, home
and abroad, but Il growth in tie
exports of manufactures is Il dis
tinct and permanent gain. During
seven months of the present fiscal
the exports of manufactures footed
np S1S2. $50, SOB. an increase Of
S2J, 900. 900 over the correspond
ing period of a year before. At
the same time there is Il cain over
foreign goods in the home market.
The imports of foreign manufuc
lures for the seven months are
S35. 900. 900 less than the exports.
\ balance of manufactures in our
favor in foreign trade is 4 rev
commercial development.
1t is by taking the figures Of the
last decade that the large and con
stant expansion in the exports of
American manufactures can be
gaugcd. The exports in seven
months of 1880 were SIS, 151 I33:3,
The increase in 1899 is 13l per
cent. In the last five years the
leap forward has been especially
noticeable In 1895 the aggregate
for seven months was $1U4, COZ

il Is found that, while it 1889 the
balance against us was 147 per

favor is 2c per cent. These are not
merely surface indications of pros
perity. They signify a rapidly
broadening field for American hand

country have the best reasons to

How Missouri is MiSgoverned.

Before the election last Noyem-
Der the Democratic papers of the
state directed attention especially
to the financial management of the
long succession of Democratic ad
ministrations. The claim was made
that continued Democratic success
would insure for the state the high
est economy, an ample treasury
balance and decrease of the state
debt. Now the truth is coming out.
The Governor was the first to
break the unpleasant intelligence,
though careful not to do it before
the election. In his message to the
new Legislature he said: "Thc
legitimate demands against the
state in 1899 and 1900 can not be
met by the revenue under existing
laws, and it is impcrativcly neccs-
sary that provision be made by the
Fortieth General Assembly to in
crease the revenue, OF decrease the
expenditures, and we are compelled
now to find some other sources Of
revenue or suffer serious cmhar-

David ]. S. Brown, master mechanic
of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western machine shops in this city,
resigned his position yesterdly, after
thirty-eight years service with the
company. The resignation was tend
cred some time ago, and took effect
yesterday.
Mr.. Brown has been master m acha lic
for the past nine years, but previous
to that time served III various Canar-
tiles with the company. Inquiry at the
shops yesterday failed to reve1I the
cause of Mr.. Browns resignation.
1t is understood, however, that the
office will be abolished. He could not
be found at the shops yesterday after
noon, and Superintendent FitzGibbon
was not in the city.
Mr.. Brown has the reputation Of
turning out some of the best engines
on the Lackawanna road, and has
superintended the construction of all
the locomotives turned out from the
shops during his administration as
master mechanic.
1t was rumored yesterday that he
would identify himself with the Dick
son Manufacturing company, but he
has intimated that he intends resting
during the winter.
