Loyal Black Men.

The sentiments entertained toward
the administration of President Nc
Kinley by the colored people of the
United States are indicated by the res
olutions adopted by the Iowa confer
ence of the African Methodist church,
in session at chicago, Sept. IL. With
much enthusiasm the conference placed
on record its Endorsement of the Gov
ernment's policy regarding the Philip
pines, Cuba and Porto Rico. On the
subject of economic policy the resolu-
tions declare:
1--WE would congratulate the country
upon the fact that the present wise and
economical administration Of national
affairs has brought return of pros
perity.
millions Of wheels of industry, which
two years ago were idle and still, are
now rapidly revolving, the stream of
commerce is once more flowing through
out the land, and future prospects are
bright for increased prosperity In all
lines Of industry,
Free traders, mugwumps and copper
heads are scarce articles among the col
ored men of this country.

crime charged to the Republican party.
In st. Paul contractors are charging
each other with stealing men In order
to secure needed help to finish con-
tracts. This is very different from the
conditions that existed under the Cleve-

ers who held positions could not be in
duced to leave them for single day In
fear that they might lose them and
never again secure employment.-Liv

A number of construction concerns
have had to close their works Temporal
rily because the iron and steel mills of
the country are unable to keep up with
their orders. If 1t wasn't for the pres
ent administration, the Chicago Post
says, this never would have happened.
The iron and steel mills would have
more material on hand than they could
conveniently dispose of, and, incident
ally, most of them would be shut down.
Thus 1t Is plain that this man McKin-
ley must be defeated at the next cleo
ton.

Would Benefit the Country.

a.
The nomination Of Bryan next year
now being accepted as foregone con-
clusion, there rs no doubt that many of
the sound money Democrats will wei
come sutf action by the National Com
vention as a final disposition OF the sill
yer Issue and its chief champion.
Men WHO deSlga the reorganization OF
the Democratic party on old Demo
cratic lines realize that they can never
accomplish their purpose until silver Is
dead and Bryan Is out Of the way, and
they are beginndng to realize that the
surest method tg'brfhg about the destr-
ed result Is to hep the Republicans ad-
minister another defeat to the cause Of
Reputation next year. aa
One thing certain is that If Brayn is
nominated next year ON the Chicago
platform the silver ISSUE will be brought
to the front, and every man who voted
against him three years ago will have
as good cause to oppose his election
then as he did IN 1896. Every voter who
opposed Bryanth will be against him
next year, with the possible exception
Of the mug*unips, who are bound to
oppose President Mckinley ON the ex-
pansion issue, and the silver champion
win go down I'd defeat again. Thus it
appears that Bryan nomination would
be beneficial to, the country.-Cleviand

The Missouri Statutes.

| State Senator Farris and Burkhead
of the Legislative Revision Committee
broke away from their arduous work
at Jefferson City long enough to come
to St. Louis and see the horse show.
Representative Pope of Cole county has
resigned from the commission, and
Senator Dowell OF Lewis has been at
| home for some weeks. This has left
the commission short two men. and
has probably retarded the work. 1t is
the understanding that Senator Dowen
will return and be in on the finish of
the work. which may yet require an
other month.
The first volume is now complete,
and the second and last volume is
about ready to turn oyer to the printer.
The first volume contains LILA pages
of text, composed of sixty-five chapters,
and 4,6S5 sections. Senator HAYNES
of st. Joseph who was generally re-
garded as the best lawyer in the Senate,
is credited with having rendered very
valuable work on the commission. and
at no inconsiderable sacrifice to his law
practice, which he was forced to aban-
don for the time being.
All the members of the commission
are credited with good deal of pa
triotism for remaining at jefferson
City for the past five months and de-
voting their entire time TO a revision
Of the laws. They only receive $5
apiece day, and while this is probab-
y more than the average member of
he Legislature could earn at home,
yet in selecting the commission the
legislature was careful to pick good
awers, most of whom had to give up
/ good practice at home.
1t is said that the indexing and cita-
ion OF the new statutes will be The
most complete in every detail that
areful and intelligent work could
'roduce. Citations from decisions of
he Supreme Court will include report
AS. which is practically down to date
