It. Loais stands Firm.

Among the notable Republican vic
tories of the week is that IN st. Louis
on Tuesday. The Republicans elec-
ted every member of the city council
and School Board and nineteen out
of the twenty-eight candidates for.
members of the House of Delegates.
The plurality of the council ticket is
over 10000. in a total vote of over
l.oO0. The Globe Democrat saws the
result was decided rebuke to the
Democratic state administration for
meddling in the affairs of the city.
and to the Democratic Legislature for
unnecessarily undertaking to unnec-
essarily burden the tax payers. The
Legislature has exhausted every de-
vice at its command to punish St.
Louis for being Republican, but the
city stands firm, and returns a more
emphatic Republican verdict than ever
before in local election. 1t is a pity
that the whole State of Missouri could
not follow the example of its chief
city. 1t would stand considera bly,
higher in the worlds esteem if it
would. ld.-Minneapolis Tribune.

should Consult a Surgeon

Champ Clark is soaring again. This
time he says he observes no indica.
tions of returning prosperity in this
country. Printing flaming advertise
Hlents in the metropolitan newspapers,

Champ, fails to prove the truth of the
statement to the men who, though
toiling industriously in summers S

izing to the utmost, still find them
selves sinking deeper and deeper into
debt as the years 60 by. What Champ

Dewey's observation-disclosures.

Admiral Dewey, in his political
talks, shows a sanity which army and
navy officers in the past have often
lacked. He says that a ''sailOr has
no politics, that 1.-THE administration
is his party, and, Republican or Dem
ocrat. it makes no difference and
that he could not and would not be
candidate for the presidency under
any conditions. This recalls a re-
mark made by Gen. Sherman few
years before death, that he ''weuld
not accept the presidency if chosen
by unanimous vote of the Electoral
College,
Yet successful military officers have
very seldom resisted political tempta-
tiOn when it came in any alluring
form. Many of them took especial
care 10 get in the way of the tempta-
ton. Naval officers have been skipped
by presidential nominating conven-
tions, but Commodore Stockton. who
won some reputation in the Mexican
war. tried to turn it to political ac-
count afterward. He was elected Sen
ator from New Jersey, but the presi-
Dental nomination which he sought
was never rendered to him. Scott,
one of the military heroes of that war
lobbied for the presidency for year.,
and when he got the nomination he
was one of the worst beaten candi-
dates whom the country has seen.
The ambition, of course, to get po-
litical office is not discreditable in a
professional sailor or soldier. Mill
tary reputation gave Jackson. w. II.
Harrison, Taylor and Grant the pres
iGencs, and it had much Influence in
securing the nomination and election
for Hayes, Garfield and Benja-in
Harrison. None of these, however,
except Taylor and Grant, were what
would be called professional soldiers. |

Garfield served in political station

dismiss the case for want OF jurisdic-

Knock shat Incidental Fee Out.

EpIroR OF THE DEMOCRAT:
For some years past / have had a
curiosity to know by what authority
OF law the Board of Regents or the
Faculty of our Normal School or any
other public institution of learning in
this State has the right to exact from
each student attending the school a
fee of three dollars per term or twelve
dollars per scholastic year. for the
privilege of attending these institu--
tions. If no legal right exists it.
should be stopped. Twelve dollars
per year means more than a months
board to many of the students and in
some instances might at least prevent
some from finishing an entire course.
If you cannot answer this question,
will you please submit it to some who
can. If it is right the people should
know it, and if it is wrong it should
be STOPPED. The Legislature has never,
within my knowledge, failed to make
ample appropriations for the support
of these schools and if it has not,
all we would have to do would be
to ask anything within reason and
our request would be granted, but
it certainly seems to me to be wrong
to conceal from the Legislature any
of our wants and to shift our necessi-
ties upon the very people to whom we
pretend to extend the privileges of
acquiring an education absolutely
free. At any rate you can easily find
out by making an inquiry of the
proper authorities and publishing
their reasons. and at the same time
satisfy the minds of those who are
patrons OF the institution.
Respectfully.

The Republicans may fairly claim
to have fulfilled most of the promises
made in the programme put forth by
their national convention at St. Louis.
They declared that their return to
power would be followed by prosper
ity, and whether it should be regar-
ded as the effect of their measures or
merely as a coincidence, it is certain
that prosperity is here In no twelve

many farm mortgages been paid off
