HANDSOME TRIBUTES
To the Memory of Our Deceased
Friends.

On Saturday last J. E. Watts & Co.
completed two orders for granite and
marble work that are splendid speci-
mems of their skill. The first is a
tablet of Scotch granite to the men,
DRY of Dale Grant who died from the
effects of service in the Spanish war.
The tablet is very beautiful piece of
work; and it is delicately and deeply
lettered, Is of very rich color and
polished in the best manner known to
granite workers 1t will be good a
thousand years from now. The other
is very splendid little marble monu-
ment to be erected 30 the memory OF
Jacob Jarrett, of Laurel Iron Works.
Mr.. Jarrett was a veteran of the civil
war and was an excellent man. These
two offerings are fitting tributes to
the,memory of two men who though
widely differing in age showed the
same spirit in giving their efforts to
the preservation and honor of their
country.

: The County Court of Mercer cou n
ty went off half cooked not long ago

Mr.. Shott is editor of the Tele

rule on the editor to appear before
that august body to answer same.
The editor applied to the Judge
of the Circuit Court who awarded
him writ of prohibition; and now
the County Court is required to an

its illegal and non Judicial acts in
the premises, and has-until the Feb
ruary term, 1900, to do so.

A few questions Col. Bryan
ought to cndeavor to answer. He
said during the campaign Of 1896
that if Mckinley was elected the
price of wheat, corn and other
articles which the farmer has to sell
would drop in price. The prices
have gone up from 10 to so per
cent instead Of dropping. What
does Bryan think of that prophe-
cy now! Immediately after his
defeat it was noticed that an in
crease began in the amount Of farm
mortgages which were being paid
off. The increase affected Nebras-
ka as we'll as the other agricultural
states from which any returns have
been had. Was this simultaneous
occurrence of Bryan's overthrow
and the resumption of prosperity
for the farmer mere casual coin
cidence, or did the prosperity bear
to the overthrow the relation OF
effect to cause? Here is another
query which good many men ir
Missouri who voted for Bryan in
! 1896. and who have been benefited
by his defeat, would be glad for
him to answer.
| More than l, 200, 900 wage work
ers throughout the United States
who were idle when Bryan wa
crying calamity along the high
ways and .byways Of the country
in 1896 are now employed at goot
wages. The wages of most O
those who were at work at tha
time have been advanced since. L
was seen that the resumption O
work began shortly after the de
feat Of Bryan and the entrance in
to power of the party which over
threw him. Nearly every da,
when Bryan takes up paper hi
ewes fall on an account of an ad
vance of wages somewhere O.
ether in the United States. Ere

quently the acc 'ant states that this
was the second or third advance
which these worker. have received
in the past twelve or fifteen
months. These accounts, moreov-
yer, are in Bryanite papers US well
AS in all other sorts of Journals
which print the news of the day.
They are among the commonest of
all the items of news which appear
ed in the papers in the past twelve
months. VIII Bryan tell how it
happened that wages were going
down and mills were being closed
all over the country at the time
that he was On his raid through
the West and East in the summer
and fall of 1896, and that the
wages started upward and mills
hegac to reopen shortly after his
defeat:
BRYAN has. gooj deal to say,
also about scramble between the
nations for gold. He declared
that the output of gold in the mines
Of the world was falling off. The
money circulation Of the United
States, too, was being contracted.
ho declared. The amount OF the
per capita circulation of the country
was S21.10 in 1896. at the time
that he was declaring there would
be an immediate and immense con-
traction if he was defeated. The
per capita circulation Of TIE coun
try now is $25.45. The popula
ton Of the country has grown rap
idly since the date Of Bryan's over
throw. The circulating medium
has grown far more rapidly, how
ever, as these figures show. The
gold production of the world was
S2O2 coo, 900 in 1896, when he was
making his lamentations through
out the land. The production was
1927, 100000 in 1897, and 5000,
900, 900 in 1898. What is bis opin-
ion in 1899, Of his forecasts of
1896! Does the Bryan of 1S9?
think that the demagogue and fall
sifier Bryan Of 1896 was a fit man
for the American people to vote
for for president: Here are few
little matters upon which a good
many Of Bryan's fellow-citizens
would like to have his honest
opinion. Globe Democrat.

THE Post-Dispatch is still M.

THE Post Dispatch is still nag
ging the late legislature of Mis-
souri, for It's apparent subscrylency
to corrupt lobby influence. 1; is
the evident intention Of the Post
Dispatch that the legislature must
be made to shoulder tho whole op-
probrium Of the ubiquitous session
inst closed. instead of letting the
responsibility rest with the Democ-
cratic party. What guarantee
have the people Of Missouri that
the Democrats could elect legis-
laturc in 1900 which would be any
less susceptible to the influence Of
the lobby than the Democratic leg
islature elected in 1898 has proven
to be! The party papers pointed
out the evils Of the lobby prior to
the campaign of 1898, they were
fully diIated upon before the ses-
sion met, and while they were in
session the legislators were contin-
ually warned against the lobby.
Yet the lobby influence prevailed
at Jefferson City. It involved not
only the legislature, but the entire
state administration as we'll; and
when the secretary of the Demo
cratic State Committee is found
working with the lobbyists it is
clear that the evil permeates the
party's organization to the core.
With each successive meeting of
Missouri's General Assembly it
has been demonstrated that the
Democlatic party Of the state is
body and soul in the power Of the
lobby, from whose grasp, notwith-
standing the newspaper efforts, it
cannot shake itself loose. The
lobby knows too much Of the par
tvs internal affairs und the party
bends its knee to the master. Why
then should the legislature suffer
individually the whole contumely
which must rightfully be heaped
upon the party that elected it, we
ask the Post Dispatch! Turn the
rascally party out, and let us see
what the effect will be upon the
lobby.

to make its political policy effective
for the good of the country when
ever the people raised it up to the
occasion. On the tariff question it
was loud, but so weak that the
people lost confidence utterly in
its noisy declarations on that
subject. When tariff discussion
gave way to that of coinage. the
thunder Of the Democracy rolled
territicaIly, but it was pa!pably too
STACEY for real effect. Now that
the antitrust policy of the party

so noisy that they cannot even
think lucidly on that subject.
