Missouri Fruit Growers.

The Missouri State Horticultu-
raj society will begin its forty
third annual meeting at Farming
ton, st. Francis county, December
4th. Between that date and De-
cember the society will hold sew
en- sessions, at which nearly every
subject of interest to horticultur-
lists will be discussed by compe-
tent authorities. Prof. Herman
Won Schrenk, from the Depart
ment of Agriculture in Washing
ton, who has for some years been
making special study of the or
chards in this State and in other
parts of the West, will read pa
per on forestry, IA subject which,
by the way, has not received as
much attention in this State as it
deserves. The apple and other
small fruit industry will receive a
great deal of attention.
During the Paris exposition"
said l.. a. Goodman, secretary of
the State Horticultural society, the
other day, Missouri drew first
prize on every one of the eleven
displays, and on one of them two
first prizes, and we are now cx-
pecting a grand sweeping prize
for our exhibit as whole. We
sent over seventy-three barrels in
March and seventeen in October.
AT Buffalo we must again uphold
the record of our State, and for
that purpose we wish Missourians
to send as many specimens as pos
sible to the Pennington meeting"
hat are your plans to en-
courage the planting of trees, Mr..
Goodman"
Forestry will not receive as
much attention as | should like it
to have. The fruit interest is par
amount in Missouri. SO far as
trees are concerned, whether for
timber or shade, they are some
what neglected. There were at one
time, of course, many thousands
of acres of timber in Missouri, but
the greater part of it has been cut
down for lumber and shipped out =.
The only tree planting in this
State on a large scale has been
done by the Iron Mountain and
the Missouri Pacific railroads.
These roads set out catalpas and
white ash for use later as ties and
posts. The catalpa is better than
the white oak and almost equal to
cedar, and when II or - years
old are large enough for use as
telegraph poles. The people of
Missouri are interested in fruits,
not in trees. Not only is Missouri
far i'll the front with its apples,
but its peach industry has given
the State third place on the list of
fruit producing localities"

SOME have hoped if Bryan was
defeated for the Presidency he
might be sent to the United States
Senate from Nebraska. On this
point he said to the Evening Jour
nal, of Lincoln, the other day:
"You may say officially that under
no circumstances would | accept
the office of United States Senator,
even were it rendered me. | made
my fight for the Presidency and |
lost. | am not going to take other

Shoreditch Vcstry uondon) has fur
nished some interesting particulars of
the operations of its rubbish destruc-
tor. During the past twelve months
$4,000 tons Of rubbish were burned.
Of which 90 per cent was domestic
refuse, and from the process was de-
veloped 1,031,3iS board of trade units
of electricity for sale to consumers
for lighting purposes. In addition to
this there was sufficient electricity de-
veloped to work the electric fans, lifts
and truck Of the destructive house and
to light it. The clinkers from the fur
naces were sold to make concrete, and
the surplus steam was used at the pub
lie wash houses, and also to heat the
baths and free library.

REPRESENTATIVE SHARP, of
Miss, calls attention to the fac t
that if the gains made by Mr.. Bry-
an in the East could have been
transferred to some of the close
States the result would have been
different. The more the popular
vote is studied the palmer it be-
comes that there is no reason for
Democrats to become discouraged
over the future.

WE look for an attempt in the
coming session of the Missouri
Legislature to enact a law pre-
scribing either hanging or life i'm
prisonment for the crime of MUIR
der in the first degree. Such a
law, we believe, would assist the
ends of justice. When circum-
stantial evidence, to any degree,
enters into the proof of crime, let
it be left discretionary with the
jury which punishment to inflict.
There would be fewer hung juries
and fewer evasive verdicts. The
revulsion in the public mind a

rapid rate.

more glorious to fight for those

Nero, fiddle in hand, sat upon his

in royal tones, you have your choice
between hearing me play study in
cadenzas with the middle finger on

the matinee at the Coliseum" Bring

DemoCracy's Future.

or discouraged because Democracy
met defeat in the recent election.
1t is not the first time the party
has met such a fate to rise again,
keen and earnest for another fray.
But gold standard Democrats are
bobbing up and would have the
voters believe that the party is
gone, forever, without Il reorganiz-
alton, and the amusing part Of it
is they want to take the lead in
the matter of reorganization them
selves.
Not much. If there is any re-
organizations we do not see
any call for tit will be by those
already in the organization, the
regular constituted authority, and
not by the party's enemies, those
who voted against the party four
years ago and those who did what
they could for Mckinley this year.
The reorganization is proposed
to change or drop principles. But
principles are eternal. The party's
principles were not changed when
jefferson and Jackson and Others
were defeated and they will not be
because Mr.. Bryan was defeated.
Seems to us the st. Louis Re-
public has been encouraging this
reorganization idea. 1t publishes
interviews with j. Sterling Morton,
Horace Boise, HOke Smith, John
G. Carlisle, Don NJ. Dickinson,
Grover Observation-Disclosures that
be great crowd to surrender TOT
OF course they dwell on Bryan's
vagaries and lunacies, one even
ringing in a condemnation of the
initiative and referendum. Of
course that person would condemn
the popular idea of the election of
United States Senators by direct
vote. Bryan's vagaries caused de-
feats Well, 100000 voters en-
dorsed those vagaries, and we be-
lieve they would stand up for them
just as quickly tomorrow rs they
did last week.
The Kansas City platform was
good enough for the Missouri
Democracy, aud the evidence is
forthcoming. We don't want any
reorganization out this way. The
Republican party has won victo-
ry, but it is in the wrong. The
Democratic party may have com
mitted some wrongs, too, in its
day, but its members are the liber-
ty loving people of this country.
AS to what caused Democracy's
defeat is debatable, in some in
stances, but in the labor centers
of the country Bryan's vote was
no doubt cut by intimidation and
the influence of money.
Outside the gold standard Dem
ocrats, moneyed aristocrats and
corporationists the st. Louis Re-
public happens to interview one
man who is not in that ring.
What that one man says is to the
point right here:
"The result simply demonstrates
that money can carry the election
in this country. If we had taken
the same position on the money
question and the Philippine Ques-
ton that the Republican party did
the defeat would have been still
greater. We would have lost all
we had and gained nothing. Syn
dicates would have debauched the
election just the same. We do
not want to win if the Democratic
party must be mortgaged to Wall |

WAGERS TO AVOID.
Bets That Are Sure Things to One Side
as Indicated Here.


as Indicated Here.
Bets to be avoided by those who are
cock-sure they can do all things are
those relating to athletic feats. 1t
would seem that a good runner could
easily give fifty yards in hundred to
a man who was doing the fifty by
hopping on one leg. But few runners,
if any, can afford to give that amount
of start to any man who is at all
strong on his legs. For the first five
yards or so they go at practically the
same pace, so that to run ninety-five
yards while his opponent is hopping
forty-five he has to go more than
twice as fast, and it is weak man in
deed who cannot hop fifty yards in ten
seconds. An ordinary wooden match
is easily broken in the fingers, but al
though there are many who will bet
they can do it, none succeed in accom-
plishing the task IL the match is laid
across the nail of the middle finger Of
either hand and pressed upon the first
and third fingers Of that hand, despite
it's seeming so easy at first sight No
one can crush an egg placed length
wise between his clasped hands-that
is. II the egg be sound, and has the
safe to bet a man that he cannot get
out Of chair without bending his
body forward or putting his feet I'M
der it, if he is sitting on it, not at the
edge of it. Another equally certain
wager is that man cannot stand at
the side Of q room with both his feet
touching the wainscoting lengthwise.
1t is safe to bet any man, save one
who is blind, that he cannot stand for
five minutes without moving II he is
blindfolded.-New York Times.

about the attempts of the majority and

together. The majority held a caucus

present would tell what occurred. There
are straws however, which show the
direction of the wind. for ]. p. Cooke.
and some others Of me minority found
reason to labor with j. a. Gilman TO
induce him to drop William Haywood
and thereby secure for the minority a
representation of six. 1t is to be sup
posed that this proposition brought
about the majority caucus.
Gilman. however. sticks by Haywood,
and the result of the scheme of har-
seems to be entirely willing to make
six vacancies on the conditions named,
though what heads would be sacrificed
Is an open question. The native dele
gates have been sounded. but they say
that they have no intention of making
way for anybody. So it is up to the
whites and the minority would be glad
To have the privilege of picking them
