"Remem ber your representative
from BolIinger coonty had five or
six clerks appointed. If any of
them were of any benefit to the
people of Missouri we have failed
to find it out".-Banncr.
Dear Editor BoIlinger county
has never been served in the house
Representatives by "a more upright
citizen or more painstaking servant
than George B. Myers Of the 10th
General Assembly. As this quota
tion does him and others great IN
justice may | be permitted through
your valuable paper to make plain
statement of facts; so that a good
mans record may not be mlsrepre-
sented before the people who gave
him their trust. The representative
from BolIinger, being second term
member, was selected as chairman
of the committee on education
this important committee has always
been assigned q clerk-under the
rules the chairman appoints. He
could have selected one from where
eyer he pleased, but he chose to ap-
point Mr., Charles Revelle, every
way fitted for the position and a
citizen of BolIinger county.
1t is needless for me to say that
any one who has sense enough to
attend district school meeting will
imagine that the clerk Of such u
committee will have something to
do.
The doorkeeper was permitted to
appoint two messenger boys and
they are treated like errand boys
are everywhere. He gave Vest
Myers one of these positions; and
as those boys were day|y under my
observation, | want to say that he
position was not altogether
Aowery bed of ease.
The writer was strongly recon-
mended by Mr.. Myers and many
others to the chief clerk and was
by him given a position of great
responsibility, the many visitors
from our county to the Capital,
during the session will all testify
that they found my Office a busy
place from morning until late at
night. These three not six clerks,
were all that the representative
from Bollinger was in any manner
connected with securing and his
influence went always for home
men.
| only ask you to publish this
that the record Of a good man may
not be misrepresented to the people
who honored him with their support
and who he honor ed as their repre-
sentative. AS to what the Banner
man has failed to find out about
the clerks services, it is as nothing
to what he will fail to know when
he gets some years older.

Mr.. Proctor's arraignment of the presi-
dent and his party associates in both
houses for their self-stultification and
yielding to The demands of the tobacco
and sugar trusts, for disregarding COM
mon honesty and breaking plighted
pledges, was severe and scathing But
the most telling argument in his speech
and the one that exposed the fllmsy
sophistry employed by such intellectual
pigmies as Henderson, Foraker and the
others, who have held up the constitu-
tion as piece of machinery to be moved
hither and yon, as the caprice of con-
gress sees fit, was supplied by one of the
greatest constitutional lawyers in or out
of public life, that has held membership
in the republican party in the last thirty
years. Senator Pro;tor read a letter,
received from former Senator George F.
Edmunds, bearing upon the Porto Rican
question, in which the latter said: "Any
such measure, if enacted, will, | believe
be unique in our whole history. 1t will
initiate and porallel the acts of the Bri-
tish parliment which forced our fathers
to Just resistance and revolution and led
them to establish a constitution, which
in studied and explicit terms forbade any
such discrimination. Congress is the
creature of the constitution and not the
reverse. The constitution, as such, is
not subject to the control OF congress,
either to enlarge or diminish, either to
expand or contract. 1t is not a movable
thing, like the ark of the covenant OF
the Israelites, to be set up and moved
here and there as the tribes might wa
der"
When the republican party is shatter-
ed, as it surely will be FORTS sins against
the people and its efforts to destroy the
rock on which our free institutions are
founded, it will go down to eternal death,
like it's whig and Enow-nothing prede-
cessors, unless it shall be resurrected
and reorganized by leaders like Proctor
and Edmunds, who command public
confidence in standing unchangeably
upon the constitution and the laws laid
down by the fathers Of the republic.

PiIkerton Won the Race.

At one of the regattas of the Nation
al Association of American OarsInen
during the early nineties James Pilker-
ton, for many years the champion soul
Ter of America, was matched to row
double against another team. He and
his mate were the champions, and the
general belief was that they would win
without effort. But the night before
the regatta public opinion suddenly
and mysteriously changed. Mr.. Pill
kerton knew that this was not caused
by any new development of strength
in his opponent or any loss of skill on
his own part. After making some quiet
inquiries he discovered that there was
talk of his rowing mate having been
bought up by the other side and Of an
arrangement to throw the race.
He didn't say anything about his sus-
piciol-l. but when the two men were
seated in the shell and were well out
into the deep water he leaned over to
his mate and said:
Look her, you blooming cutthroat!
You've got to swim, drown or win this
raceI You know mew He won.-Sat-
urday Evening Post.

silva AND DEW.
The Fearful Devil of the Hindoos
and His Principal Wife.

silva is both typical Of destruction
and Of reproduction. But the latter at
tribute was doubtless a later addition
to the sum of his qualities. The orig
inal conception Of this deity was that
Of a power delighting in obstruction,
in the achievement Of physical evil and
wrong and in hurting death and devas-
tation upon the people and their land.
He is represented in the sacred books
Of the Hindoos as "the terrible destroy
en-" 1.-The one who delights in the de-
struction of men" But in all this there
is no whisper as yet Of any moral quail
titles of evil. The conception is entirely
one Of physical power, used with the
utmost maleyolence and injustice
against men.
Along with his principal wife, who
Is variously called Devi,, Durga, Una
and Kali, he is portrayed as the incar-
nation Of physical evil, wrong, injus-
tice or misfortune. In the 'Puranas"
silva is described as wandering about
surrounded by ghosts and COLLINS, in
ebriated, naked and with. disheveled
hair, covered with the ashes of a fu-
neral pile, ornamented with human
skulls and bones, sometimes laughing
and sometimes crying. Dew, his con-
sort. is represented with hideous and
a terrible countenance streaming with
blood, encircled with snakes, hung
round with skulls and human heads
and in all respects resembling a fury
rather than goddess. The only pleas
ure which silva and Dew feel is when
their affairs are drenched with blood,
which. of course, could not be shed
without the destruction of some form
Of life.-Westminste Review.

THE HARDY GOAT.
II Can BE Made Valuable ms a Dairy
Animal.


The usefulness of the goat in clearing
foul lands and the profitableness of the
animal for its hair, skin and even car
eass are becoming pretty well UNDER
stood. But the goat is valuable as O
dairy animal. Ii the cows, for in
stance, are being used for supplying q
city milk trade, the keeping Of goats
for the home milk supply would be an
excellent policy. The goat will live
where cow would starve, and, while
it, like every domestic animal, will do
best on good pasture, it will live and
yield milk on astonishingiy little food.
The animal and its milk are almost
entirely exempt from disease The
milk is more nutritious than that of the
COW and agrees with stomachs that
cows milk frequently offends. The
animal requires only the cheapest kind
of shelter, but it needs shelter from the
storms and in winter. If by reason Of
drought soiling Is necessary. leaves,
vegetable refuse, Feelings of the apple
or potato, bread crusts or stale bread,
if they are sweet and clean, will be all
the feed that is needed.
All goats, however, will not eat the
same food, and the feeder will have to
study the appetites of the individual
animal. Frequent feeding and a va
riety of food in winter will be found
beneficial Roots, oilmeal, oats, corn
(of the latter in the whole state the
goat is very fondl are proper feed, es-
pecially for the milking goat. Rock
salt is greatly relished. The flavor Of
goats milk cannot be distinguished
from that Of cows milk if it is proper
ly cared for. From three to four pints
n day is the average yield of good
mixer. The milk is so rich and Of
such character that in making pastry
il will take the place Of eggs.-Epito-
mist.

! Watch Springs.

The watch carried by the average
man is composed Of 90 pieces, and its
manufacture embraces more than 1900
distinct and separate operations.
Hairspring wire weighs one-twen-
tieth of a grain to the inch. One mile
Of wire weighs less than half a pound.
The balance gives five vibrations
every second. 800 every minute, $4,000
every hour, 49,, 900 every day and 157,-
$4,000 every year.
The value Of springs when finished
and placed in watches is enormous in
proportion to the material from which
they are made. A ton Of steel made
ND into hairsprings when in watches
lis worth more than 121a times the
value Of the same weight in pure
gold.

be completed as eXpeditiously as pos
slbe. He ordered the establishment Of
patent and copyright laws. that the
military examinations should be chang
ed so ds to conform to the proposed
new order of things, and he promised
rewards to all those who distinguished
themselves as authors or inventors.
He ordered the officials to do all in
their power to encourage trade and as
sist the merchants. School boards were
established in every city in the empire;
a bureau of mines was formed; journ
alsts were encouraged to write on all
political subjects, Jung Lu and Liu
Kuni were ordered to consult on the
establishment of naval academies anu
training ships; schools were ordered
opened in connection with all the for
e.gn legations for the benefit of the
sons of Chinese living in foreign coun-
tries; commercial bureaus were or
dered established for the encourage
ment of trade at Shanghai and Han
kow, and in addition to all this, the
officials throughout the Empire were
ordered to assist the young Emperor
in his work of reform.
ANY one who is interested in the
work of reform for China may look
over his edicts in the most critical way
they win and they will not find single
one which would have been anything
but benefit to the country. lie did
more than issue edicts, for the funds
for the establishment of the university
at Pekin were at once set apart and the
university was established, and in spite
of the anti-foreign feeling in the pal
ace and the school since his dethrone-
ment, they have not been able to divert
the funds to any other channel how
ever much they have tried to do so.
But 1t was his surgical operations
that caused him trouble. So long as he
confined himself to the making of new
Offices there was no trouble, but as
soon as he began to abolish old ones
and dismiss Viceroys and Governors,
there arose q howl which reached the
ears of the Empress Dowager, and the
palace and the throne of the young
man was ruthlessly taken from him,
and he was confined to an island in the
palace grounds under strict guard.
1T is certain that when the history
of China comes to be written the at
tempted reforms of Kuang Hsu will be
classed among those of the best emper-
ors of The past. and either he viii be
restored to his throne to carry out his
reforms lor he will be looked upon as
the first martyr for liberty and prog
ress among the emperors of the Mid
die Kingdom"
