Three men have been arrested in ST.
Louis who where caught in the act of
engineering Il dynamite explosion on
one of the lines of the st. Louis Tran
sit Company. There is nothing
particularly strange about the fact of
the arrest for this d~ynamiting business
has been going on for some time and
officers have been making strong
efforts 10 capture the guilty parties.
The range part is that these three
men are striking street Il employees
and are members of the street car
mems union. While this d~ynamitin"
and deviitry has been going on the
Union ha- Gisclaimed all connection
with ii. and has insisted that its mem
beers were too good. too pure. noble
and holy to resort 10 any violence 10
obtain their ends. The public is now
in Il position to form its " concluS-
ions, based on evidence.

With each day that passes ii becomes
more plain that IN view of the serious
problems now confronting the govern
ment. we should exercise the greatest
care this fall in the selection OF u man
who will preside at the helm of gov
ernment. The situation demands Il
clear-headed, patriotic. just statesman.
and il will not he wise to select an
untried mar Just because he happens
to possess an eloquent tongue. IN
the present stage of the nations affairs
We need a man uf action rather than
one Of mere words. Mckinley has
shown himself equal to all the de-
mandS which have been made upon
ham. and it will be no experiment 10
elect him. We cannot afford at this
time to take any chances and to try
experiments. Another thing, Mckinley
will be elected. and il is highly I'M
portant that VT select members OF
Congress who are known TO III in
sympathy with the objects and pur-
poses of the administration. y grave
responsibility confronts the American
people in these matters, and the DEM
oCRAT believes they will prove equel
to them.

We are told that an all wise Provi-
dence looks after people in this world
and saves them much trouble. There
may have been something providential
in the ~dislocating of Mr.. WOOlley ;
shoulder in Chicago the other day.
It i more profitable to be laid up
with an injury of this kind than to
make an expensive campaign as Il
candidate for president, on the Prohi-
bition ticket when there is no proba-
bility OF any returns. Mr.. Woolley
is not really a candidate for anything,
h. only thinks he il.

1t is astonishing how great "A man
can become in the estimation of the
Democratic papers by merely leaving

hardly men to be found who had

now that they have come W to the
IL to l side they are noble men, heroes,
highminded. able statesmen. and IA

People Will generally regret the con-
dition of Ex-senator John j. ingalls,
of Kansas. who is rapidly nearing
death. While ~there.were some object
ionable traits OF character connected
with Mr.. Ingalls,. he was nevertheless
one of the most prominent and unique
of the public men of his time. He was
a MAJ of great intellect. OF undOubted
ability and possessed the most biting.
sarcastic and cutting manner of speech
of any of our statesmen of the.present
generation.

Personally Mr.. Nandiver is Il most
estimable gentleman, but this Is no
reason why he should be sent back to
congress. There are a number OF
other estimablc gentlemen in this con-
gr~essional district who will not be

ton satisfactorily a man must have
certain qualifications. and y. y.
Motley possesses them in full. round
ed measure. He is the man who will
represent this district in the next ON

The best evidences of educational
prorress in Missouri are found in the
following: Increased aPportionment of

ion of better school houses, equipped
and furnished so as TO provide Tor
..he comfort. health and culture OF the
,.o5ldrep: larger terms and better
salaries thus increasing the demand
for teachers of better disciplined
minds ana more general culture: d
desire on the part of the teachers,
directors and patrons to artieulate the
entire school system from the small
rural school to our great olave
University.

Mr.. Bryan on his way to Indian
apolis remarked at one of his stop
ping places hat he could not make Il
speech as a presidential candidate
because he had not yet been officially
informed of his nomination. The
gentleman may turn himself loose now
and be a. eloquent a he knows how
to be. for he has been notified. 1t is
well to remember however that notiti-
cation does not mean election in his
case.

MISSOURI CROP CONDITIONS.
Reported that Corr Has Been Much
Injured by Drouth.

From the crop report of the L. 5.
Department of Agriculture, Missouri
section:
In a few counties corn has not yet
been injured by the drouth and is in
good condition, but over the greater
portion of the state the crop is re-
ported shortened one-tenth to one
third. and in some localities the loss
is estimated at one-half. Late corn
has been been damaged much more
than early. In many counties it now
promises little more than half a crop.
and in Il few it has been practically
ruined. some having been cut to save
the fodder. Fortunately in most See
tions there is much less late corn than
usual. y large part of the early corr
is made and some is so far matured
"a to be out of all danger. but much
of it may yet be injured ii dried out
too rapidly.
In the southeastern counties cotton
is generally doing well, except in por-
tions of Butler where it is suffering
from drouth and is shedding.
Pastures have dried up rapidly ana
considerable feeding is necessary in ii
number of the northern and western
counties. Water is becoming very
scarce in some localities. Over the
greater portion of the state the ground
has become too dry for blowing.

A preacher in Houston, Texas, has
built himself an ark and urges the

storm ragged along the Texas coast

would not have been out of place.
