he thought it would be within two
months.
Many persons have been wondering
when the building would be used. Com

Mr.. Ball will do himself no
good by going into the Globe
Democrat with his trade against
Dockery. Mr.. Dockery's record
as public servant is an open
book read aud approved by all
good Democrats Can Mr.. Balls
friends say any more for him.
Mr.. Dockery has not nor does
not desirelto retired the silver
question. He was not against
silver in 1896 nor at any other
time. He devotes as much time
to silver in his speeches as he
does to the trusts; and his being
against trusts is no new thing
as the Congressional Record
shows he began the fight against
trusts away back in 1888. AS
to the charge that Iic has abused
his franking privilege, there IS
not the scmblancc Of foundation
for such charge. He has never
in 4 single instance violated the
law in this particular. And now
about this lie tenure claim.
Mr.. Ball has held Office for ten
years or more and has been an
Office seeker much more of his
time. HOnOrs are about even
on this score. Mr.. DOcIery is Il
Democrat and citizen in whom
the Democrats Of, not only Mis-.
souri,, but the whole United
States have aud abiding faith
and confidence. We think it an
idle attempt in Mr.. Ball to try
to horn Mr.. Dockery off the
boat on the score Of his not be-
ing good Silver Democrat. -

WE SHOULD CONCEDE IT.

London, Aug. 2l.-The Ma
pie correspondent of the DAILY
News telegraphs the substance
of an interview he had with
Admiral Dewey there during
the admiral's recent visit.
Admiral Dewey said he be-
lieved the Philippine question
would shortly be solved. In
his judgement the inhabitants
were capable of self govern
ment, and the only way to set
tie the inSurreCtion and to in
sure prosperity was to concede
it to them. He declared tha
he was never in favor of viO-
leuce toward the Filipinos, and
rem arked that after autonomy
had been conceded annexation
might be talked of.
When asked whether Il con.
lict between Germany and the
United States over the Philip.
pines were possible Admiral
Dewey replied, according to
the correspondent; "Ir is i'm
possible to foresee the uufore,
Seeable,' -
