WHAT DEMOCRATIC ORAlUkS ANOiO.
It is time to show us the books in Mis-
souri,.
State affairs in Missouri are delightful.
Hard to exhaust?.
Remember Stephens, as we remembered
the Maine.
The Democratic argument for reelection
in Missouri is she did it first" twill be
) boo-hoo after Nov. g., reasoning along the
same line.
Remember the immense amount the Re-
publicans turned over to the school fund in
the form of United States bonds, when they
were in power.
What is the difference between a school
fund supported by current taxation and a
school fund yielding an income from invest
ment.
We once got $4,000 per annum from
the school fund. Now we get what the tax
payer pays.
Every time that school fund was manipu-
lated / it cost the Taxpayers just 100000.
Now the question is, who got the money?
Talk about Mark Hanna's money! Won
der how much of Bryan's campaign fand
came out of the school fund?
A most unusual thing about Certificates
Of indebtedness is that the constitution Of
Missouri has never met them.
The mystic maze of democratic economy
has become a labrynth of deceit.
Why should the school funds be used to
cancel the bonded debt of Missouri?
Thank God the Missouri Democrat has
more manhood than the Jefferson City
gang.
A Deniccrat came to town the other - day
and a Republican asked him to vote for
Mckinley. He said, ''No, the Democratic
orators told me four years ago that if would
only vote for Bryan ! would see good times.
l voted for him and / saw good times and !
am going to vote for him this year and con-
tinue those good times.' Such is the logi-
cal CONCLUSION of a good many of the Mis-
souri, democracy.

To- MISSOURI DEMOCRATS.

Remember Stephensi Remember the
Fulton Insane Asylum scandal! Remember
the Excise Commissioners scandal! Re
member the Police Board scandals in St.
Louis! Remember the Nesbit election law
iniquity! Remember the passage and sig
nature of the Street Railway Consolidation
law Remember the failure to suppress
disorder in st. Louis during the strike !
Remember that Stephens allied himself
openly with the Trust Lobbyist in a fight to
go as a delegate-at-large to the National
Democratic Convention! Remember that
Phelps showed up Stone as a lobbyist who
'ssucked eggs, but hid the shells" Re-
member that Democratic administration has,
as Col. Richard Dalton shows, put up the
tax on farmers while keeping down the tax
on corporations! Remember that Stone,
Stephens, Phelps and Dockery sat dow on
Mr.. Bland at Springfield in 1898! Remem-
Der that the triumph of Dockery represents
the triumph of the same old gang that has
dominated Democracy for twenty-five years
and that has excluded from honors all young
men who would not be tools If the decent
democrats remember all these things wher
they go to the polls on election day the,
will vote for the Democratic Presidential
electors and scratch Mr.. Dockery, candidate
for Governor. Missouri Democracy admit
the evils of Stephenson, Stoneism an'
Phelpsism. If it thinks at all, Missouri
democracy must know that the election o
Dockery will mean all those things owe
y again and worse. The defeat of Dockery b.
decent democrats, remembering att thes
things, would be a democratic victory.

Feast Fit For Kings,
In Bryan'S Honor.

New York, Oct. 16.-The dinner ten
dered Mr.. Bryan at the Hoffman House at
5 30 O'Clock this afternoon, was not held in
the Moorish room, as at first intended, but
in the Saloon, Louis Quinze. Fifty covers
were laid, an increase from what was first
intended. The rooms were beautifully deco
rated with laurel leaves, palms and ever-
greens. Col. Bryan's portrait framed in a
silk American flag, was just behind the
chair res rived for Mayor Van Wyck, the
presiding officer. 1t was discovered, during
the afternoon, that the decorator had, in ar
ranging the portrait of Col. Bryan, enter
'twined the Filipino and American colors
about the picture. This was believed to be
an error, and at dinner time the colors of
Aguinaldo were conspicuouslysabsent.
Fifteen persons sat ut the table reservd for
the guest of honor and more distinguished
persons. The remaining guests sat at smaller
tables. All the tables were decorated with
roses predominatlng.
The service was the best the house could
linens of the most costly sort, the
cut glass and the best of china.
Although Col. Bryan did not drink his wine,
glasses were provided just the SANE as for
the other guests.
The much disputed cost of the dinner
was settled by the Hoffman House manage
ment, who said that the cost vas So. per
plate, exclusive of the wines. 1t took from
5 :45 to Z p. m. to dispose of the many
and soon after the party got iuto
carriages and were driven to the Madison
Square Garden. Mr.. Bryan is a candidate
of the poor!!!

THE MINISTERIAL DEAD LINE

logical studsntf

logical studsntf
There ZONES a time when a man can
neither stay in the ministry nor get
out Of 1t, says the Forum. He cannot
stay In 1t, because, at the age OF 4b or
so. he has reached the ministerial dead
line. Churches prefer youthful preach
ers. They like the young face. the
erect figure. the spirited delivery, and
the vivacious thought OF a boy. An
other paradox! They ought to prefer
the learning, the experience. the In
sight, the ripened character. and hi
ehastened spirituality Of a man past
middle life. for only he can bes. min
lister to their real needs. Yet we ara
confronted with Ian Maclaren's pa

take. A mere STRIPPING succeeds to
his pulpit, while he himself remains
unemployed. But 1t must not be i'm
agined that this unemployed clergy
man has left the ministry. The min
istry cannot be left. 1t sticks to a man
whether he will or not. He is regard
ed as a monarch who has ignominious-

who has ~profanely discarded his cowl.
as q soldier who has disloyally repu-

become a layman. He cannot enter
any other calling ave that to which
he has given his life, because the cleri-
cal routine has unified him for sue

that are English, such as Sampson,

Bellamy thinks that congress ought

A statistician skilled In figures has
evolved an interesting schedule which
accounts for the four and twenty
hours that have daily escaped your no.
tice. He can tell you more about your
life than you yourself know. His
schedule does not apply to the man
of leisure nor to the laboring man,
but 1t is an accurate computation OF
the average American business mans
time. In the sum total OF sixty years
account has been kept OF the years OF
infancy and childhood. Here are the
results Of the hard thinking done by
the statistician: Twenty years in
sleep. Three years in eating. Nine
months In waiting to be served al
table. Seventeen years six months In
working. Seven years six months Il
pursuit OF pleasure. Six years three
months In walking and otherwise ex-
ercising. Two years six months at
making ones toilet. Two years six
months doing nothing at all. The two
and a half years OF toilet may be sub
divided as follows: Eleven months
