The Democratic theory is never
correct in practice, and the disas-
trous administration of Cleveland
from 1898 to 1897 will never be
forgotten. It was then that the
Democratic party, for thefrst time
since the close of the civil war,
had full control of the govern
ment; and everybody knows what
a mess it made of business. The
United States is just now progress
ing most favorably and there is nc
reason why we should not still
further increase our export trade
The business men are reaching
out for foreign trade and they are
getting it.

result Is the same. There !. is every
reason to believe that the farmers
of the West arefuly alive to this
fact and that neither MI. Bryan
nor any other eloquent free
trader can draw them from the
pathway Of righteousness, which is
the pathway of protection to
American interests, industrial and
agricultural.

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH
OUR ROADS,.
am unreasonable

This is probably the most
serious local problem which our
communities have to meet. For
years our townships have spent
fortunes in money and labor in
making and patching roads and
there has been but little improve
ment,. Our bitches also have been
entirely inadequate to the demands
of the country, and have proved
not only an inconvenience but a
source of financial loss. Perhaps
the sole reason for the. wretched
condition of our roads and bitches
is that our townships still employ
the old and generally discarded
methods of road building by plows
and sometimes ~1scrapers. These
methods should long ago have
been discarded and special road
machinery should be used for road
work. This is the age of machin-
cry and we must keep abreast of
the times. Roads and bitches can
be built for one-fifth what they
cost us at present by the use Of
the large road grading and ditch.
ing machines SO generally used in
the southern counties. There is
no longer any excuse for back.
wardness in this respect. The
Legislature at its last session passed
a law requiring the township
supervisors, upon petition of {
majority of the free holders of 6
township, to purchase large roao
grading and ditching machines
upon five annual payments, an,
the introduction of these machine'
will mean the building up of per
manent roads and bitches which
will be a credit to our county an
a great saving to the rate payers
There is no question Of more i'm
portance to our people and non
which SO pressingly requires thei
attention.

MURpHY,s METHOD.

Francis Murphy, the great tenn
perance apostle, is holding q series
of meetings in Duluth. Before
opening the meetings he said to a.
reporter:
'"I'm not here to wage any war
on saloonkeepers. There are good
men in that business, as in any
other business, and if they r in
the wrong trade it is because other
men demand that they shall sell
them their goods. I'm going
around to call on the saloonkeep-
ers of this city, have a talk with
them, and assure them hat I
haven't come here to denounce,
them. I am here to get every mai1
to close his own saloon, not to
close it, for him. ]
"Men that drink should give
their families the preference before
they crafty their appetites. But
we can't drive these men to quit
we must win them. The way a
man gets his wife is by winning
her. So we must win back these
unfortunates. The Redeemer came
to win men. He never denounced
%publicans and sinners. He had
mercy on them. They had been
denounced, and He, knowing the
weakness of this humanity of ours,
extended His warm sympathy.
We've got to do it today. This is
an age of reason and education, of
humanity, sympathy and self-res-
pect. When you come to legistats
what men shall eat and drink and
wear, you undertake too much.
That is a kingdom governed only
by self-respect. When man does
not respect himself, he cannot
expect much from other people.
Now, that's my platform, and I
don't think people will consider I
am unreasonable"

THE SIG FAIR.
II was Success beyond all Expec-

The second annual fair OF the Cape
Girardeau County Fair and Park
Association that took place last week
was the best fair ever held on the fair
grounds. The attendance on Friday
and Saturday was the largest gather.
ing of people that ever rot together
in this county. and By far the largest
that ever attended a iair in this
county.

see and that was q drawing card
The premiums too were better dis

than ever before. The races did not
include the whole fair as heretofore,
but the purses offered We're fair and
liberal and attracted some good
horses.
The exhibits in all departments were
good and people who attended one
day returned the next day. and the
crowd swelled till on Saturday the
attendance numbered over six thous-

The management cannot be too
highly praised for their good work
this year and We hone that the stock

The Democrats and Aguinnrdo.

Senator Hauna's assertion OF Dem
Ccratic completely in the rebellion Of
Aguinaido extends ev5n farther than
the Ohio leader mentions or iGtimates.
According to the Senator. Aguinaldo' )
agent in the United States, Agoncillo,
knew of the ratification of the treaty
of Paris last February by the Senate
before it was known to the President.
The Democratic politicians and Agon-
clio had been in correspondence AZ
that time. the Senator says. and Il =
fair to presume that Agoncillo knew
the situation early last winter regard
ing the treaty, from tine Democratic
side. better than it was knOwa 10 the
country. There were reports at the
time that Agoncillo had been closcted
with some of the Democratic magnateS
lust in advance of the taking of final
action on the treaty by the Senate.
The country had n right to believe
there was some truth in those stories.
1t believes still that the stories had
some foundation.
Aside from everything which Scna-
tor Hanna says or intimates there Is
the best of evidence to show that there
was some actual or quasi connection
between the Democratic leaders in
Washington and the Filipino chief.
In his recent proclamation Aguina'do
made this fact plain. He told his
supporters that there is great party
in the United States working in theIl
interest, and he prayed that that party
would win. He did not mention
Bryan, Bailey, Vest, Jones, Chamr
Clark, John r. Mclean and the resi-
of the American Tagals by name, bu'
everybody. particularly the Iaga
aforesaid, knew that these perSonagp,
and their confreres were meant
Every one knows that il The pclG0-
, Gratis should capture one 0r two state.
, in the coming elections which they dc
not now hold that great encourage
ment would be given to Aguinaldo
and that many additional American
soldiers would lose their lives before
he would be crushed. All this is
plain enough to every reasonable
person in the United States, Demo
crat as well as Republican.-Globe

helping o1r people to b'lild house,,
and for its stockholders also both
those WHO have borrowed and these
who have not borrowed. With the
