State Issues.

Much of the Republican state
platform adopted at Kansas City
properly deals with state questions.
Missouri is the fifth state in pop
ulation, but politically it is far in
the rear. 1t was the tail end of
the whole procession in the recent
vote on the Nicaragua Canal. and
the country is asking What is the
matter with Missouri" The Re
publican platform points out some
of the numerous biemiShcs and dis
eases. There is the Nesbit law,
patterned after the Goebcl law.
and similarly intended to destroy
the power Of the ballot. The I'M
constitutional use of public funds
by the standing ring at jefferson
City is referred to. This ring as
sulnes that Missouri is alternately
Democratic and that all forms Of
responsibility to voters are played
out. Home rule has been violated,
or rather blottcd out, by the Legis-
lature. There are shameful abuses
in franchise taxation, prison labor,
building associations, school text
book regulations and road legis
lation. The present state admins
tration has been feeble, ludicrous
in some respects and deficient in all.
In almost every state institution a
scandal of some kind has occurred.
To this hopeless condition has the
state been brought by continuous
Democratic rule for twenty-five
years.
Truly the time has come for a
change. for complete overhaul
inc of the books. for new men and
new policies. 1t is not in the
power of Il party so utterly demoral-
lied. so thoroughly intrenched in
ringster methods, to bring about
any better administration. Long
indulgence and licence have con-
verted the Democratic managers in
this state into gang which perpe-
tuates itself from decade to decade
and which every man who goes to
it for favors must blindly serve. A
Democrat in Office at the capital
who undertakes to stem the tide of
selfshness and crookedness counts
for as much as mummy tucked a.
way in the desert ruins Of Egypt.
No house cleaning in Missouri is
possible until Republicans superin-
tend the job, and every interest in
the state will suffer. going from
bad to worse, until voters wake up
and give the opport,inity.-Giobe-
| Democrat.

The farmers of the country are
endeavoring to form a national
organization to uphold prices of
farm products, in other words,
build up a farmers trust. So far
we have failed to notice that any
of our Bryanite exchanges are Of
fering their opposition to this off
spring in embryo of the octopus.
lnasmuch as the farmer himself is
the smallest consumer Of what he
produces, his proposed trust should
be placed conspicuously in the

The Republicans in congress
have Just proposed a general and
specific remedy for the trust evil
by asking for an amendment Of
the federal constitution that will
give congress power to ''define,
regulate, control, prohibit or dis
solve trusts, monopolics OF corpor-
ations.' This plan marks out a
definite line of action against the
trust abuses with distinctneSs
that makes it unequivocable. 1t
is Enthusiastically Republican in
the fulIness of it's meaning. The fed
cral government is to be given full
power to regulate or dissolve any
and all trusts. The resolution
passed the House by a strictly
partisan vote. The Democrats
lined up solidly against it, giving
another display of their obstruc-
tive and negative policy. The
Democratic press has been quick
to see that the Republicans are on
the ri ght track of the octopus and
if permitted to come up with it its
finish will be quick and permanent.
The opposition papers are below
ing that the whole thing is only an
ante election trick to make Repub-
lican votes; that it will not be car

this simply to draw comparison

The Democrats are, of course,
endeavor:ne tc make much poIiti-
cal capital ont of the Cuban post
office steals. One or two rascally
Republicans in Office does not
make the whole party corrupt,
however, and in this instance the
malefactors were promptly re-
moved from office and will be vi
gorously prosecuted. Our Demo
cratic friends need not be putting
on such virtuous and holier- than
thou expression over the disclos-
ures in Havana, anyway. Such
things happen among Democratic
office holders with greater frcquen-
cy than they do among Republican
office holders. 1t isn't so very
many years ago that the Demo
cratic treasurer of the State of
Missouri was caught pecuiating
from the public funds. In an adj
joining county high official, also
a Democrat, is now under indict-
mcnt for a similar offence, but
who, nevertheless, is permitted to
still hold his office by the grace of
a Democratic governor. We don't
offer these things in extenuatiou of
criminalities committed by Repub-
licans, but to show that the Demo
cratic party is also composed of
rascals and honest men.

The anti-Bryan Democrats are
trying to work up presidential
boom for Senator Cockrell, of Mis-
souri,. The hitch here, however,
is that the Senator is too big a
Democrat to suit the faction which
ran Democracy into Populism.

The lattcr-d day Democracy seems
to be made up largely of political
turncoats. Bryan bolted Cleye-
land in 1892 and voted the Popu-
list ticket, and in 1896 turned into
a peculiar species Of Democrat
again. Towne, who was named
by the fusion Populists us Bryan's
running-mate this year and whom
the Democrats will be asked to
accept at their national convention,
is a turncoat Republican. 1t is
evident from these things that the
poor old Democracy is out of all
straight and seasoned timber.

THE COTTON MARKET.

In their daily letter published yes

Bros, gave the, history Of Thursdays
operations in cotton as follows:
Liverpool did not fully respond to the
advance here yesterday, closing quiet
at q decline on the immediate deliver
les and to 3 points advance on the
late positions. The opening here was
quiet and prices gradually receded
some IL points. Rumors Of frost In
Texas became current, advancing the
market quickly some is points. AS
this rumor was not confirmed by the
government indications, prices became
easier on the large receipts at New Or
leans and Houston. The market re-
mains in, an excitingly nervous state
with the traders all working for the
long side and meeting with little Of
fering except the selling by exporters
against their purchases in the South.
Foreign markets are expected to re-
spond sharply tomorrow to the firm
ness here.
