to bankers and brokers for what
ever they were willing to advance.
Why was the state hard up! That
is the chief consideration. Mr..
Doekery dodges it, and claims,
with an air of trump. that not 8

was ''only" the pay accounts that
had to be hawked around at soc OF
Csc ON the dollar, and the banks
finally shut down on them alto
gethcr.
The embarrassment of the state
treasury was due to the refusal OF
the Treasurer to juggle money
from one fund to another, as had
been previously done by Demo
cratic administrations for many
years. A hole in one fund was
temporarily filed by making hole
in another. How far this pro-
gressive crookedncss has gone no.
body knows except the ringsters
at the capital. At all events, they
were scared last year and the is
sue of state warrants was suspen-
ded for weeks. During the session
Gov. Stephens said in an interview
published in the Republic: ''For
many years the various State
Treasnrers, including Chapel,
Seibert and myself, have at times
been guilty, perhaps, of technical
violations by meeting aud paying
warrants on the revenue fund when
the fund was exhausted and by
carrying the warrants as cash. "
That IS the point for Dockery to
explain. The operation confessed
by Gov. Stephens has only to be
carried far enough to result in a
smash-up and great scandal. Turn
on the light at Jefferson. The
shaved pay account is an unmis-
taxable symptom of rottenness. II
would be foolish to wait until state
warrants are protested, for that
will not happen until the jugglers
are at the last gasp.-Globs- Dem.

The Democrats are out to 'ssave''
the country again this year. They
did a little of this saying business
after the election of 1892. They
saved the farmer the trouble of
hauling bis wheat to market by
making the price so low that he
preferred to feed the good grain to
his hogs; they saved our lead miners
the trouble of digging, because
mineral at nine dollars a thousand
did not make it worth while: they
saved the teamster's horses and
wagon, because in the saving pro-
cess there was nothing to haul;
they saved the laboring man the
necessity of going to work by max
ing it impossible for him to secure
a job. The country was saved,
on true Democratic principle in
1892; we have al! paid the cost.
This year they present another
true principle, bnt the people are
not praying for more Democratic
saivation-not just now.

How They 'Reduced" the Taxes

Hon. Richard Dalton, i'll a speech
made at De Soto recently, shows
the voters of Missouri how the
Democrats have ''reduced> the
taxes in this state:
''Some time ago." said MIR. Dal-
ton, "Mr. Seibert. Chairman OF
the State Central Committee, sent
out a manifesto in which he said
the Democratic party had been re-
ducing taxation, and had been re-
ducing the debt of the State. Mr..
Seibert instances that they had re-
duced taxation from so cents on the
hundred dollars to 25 cents. And on
that state of facts MIR. Seibert ap-
peals to the people of the State for
the continuance of power for this
gang that had plundered the far
mers of the State without stint OF
limit. In answer to Mr.. Seibert
said the rate was reduced. l was
a member of the legislature and
voted for the reduction. But fel
low citizens, does Mr.. Seiber1
suppose that the men of this State
are foolish enough to accept thi:
statement that because the rate O.
taxation was reduced, the burder
of taxation was reduced. l ask
any man Of ordinary observation
if that proposition be true. They
reduced the rate of taxation. but
they raised the value.
Iput the question to MIR. Sci
bert: Do you say you reduced th'
taxation in Missouri simply because
you reduced the rate! Mr.. Sci
bert is silent ON that subject.
challenge him to answer. They
raised the value of farm lands il
this State since 1892 Al milliol
dollars. Was it denied? Doe
any lobbyist in the State of Mis-
souri, dare to deny its l nave ap
pealed to these people to stop thi
injustice. / went before the boar,

excursion boat, upon every variety or
river craft that could be secured for
the purpose. The crowd upon the
banks of the river was almost as great
as that which formed to witness the.
triumphant return Of Admiral Dewey.
SCENE UPON THE RIVER.
Looking up the river toward the
burning ship and piers, the scene was
wonderful and tragic one OF gran
deur. The steamship Saale had been
towed down the river until 1t was just
off Fort Liberty, where she had gather
ed about her ring of fire boats and
tugs, all fighting to save at least the
hull of the doomed steamer. Flames
still were leaping from her port holes
and rushing out of her cabins and
holes.
At varying distances about the burn
ing ship lay coal and cotton barges, all
ablaze each one or more tugs playing
streams of water upon it. Some Of these
barges and lighters were loaded with
very infammable stuff and the flames
leaped high in the air while the heat
was SO terrific that it was not possible
to use effectively the small hose of the
tugs So one by one these affairs of
fire slowly consumed, most of them
burning down to the waters edge.
Along the Jersey shore small fires
were blazing, started by the wreckage
from the great steamships.
Over on this side of the river. the
fire caused the greatest excitement as
the drifting steamships and barges
floated, all afiame, to the New York
shore and brushed against the piers
from Canal to Murray street. The fire
department was called out at various
points along the threatened sections
and the spectacle was presented of the
firemen on shore trying to fight fires
at every minute changing their sftua-
ton

Boxers, and sending secret orders
to the viceroys to disobey the
commands" to suppress the out
break.
Shanghai notes increasing signs
of a general spread of the rebel
lion in the southern provinces, but
the local feeling of alarm is SUBJ
siding. That city also reports that
a serious rising confronts the jap
anese troops in the island of For
mosa. Japan is satisfied it has been
organized from China.
A naval brigade of about 900
bluejackets and marines left Ports
mouth this morning for China. AS
it is intended to use them as a land

cially exercised in field work. They
took a wireless telegraphing ap-
paratus with them.
Russia continues to dispatch
