h ELECTIONS.

Let monarchies their armies mass In
glittering array,
And show OF strength appall each
others souls;
The old Republic leads them all,
when on election day
Her fourteen million voters reach the
polls
It's the grandest picture possible for
human eyes 10 see,
It's the knell Of Empires cruel creed
Of might,
For II means the old Republic shall be
kept forever free .
To lead the world to freedom and the
right.
The freest blood Of every land runs
proudly in the veins
OF the men who vote on our election
day;
It's blood that flowed in protest
against imperial chains,
And Its hate Of Empire never dies
away.
They are fourteen million strong, and
the stand for freedoms cause,
And they love the old Republic in
their souls,
And they shape the nations policies
and make the nations laws,
And they'll keep 1t to freedom at the
polls

Writes the Ledger His Opinion on the
Political Outlook.

To the Editor Of the Ledger.
VANDALIA, Mo-, Nov. l9.-The YER
dict made on the 9Th Of November by
the Republican party says that the
Constitution can be violated at will
and the sacred teachings OF faith
ers are no longer regarded as essen
tial TO American liberties. Our de-
feat as ! seei 1t is; First, THAT the peo-
pie did not recognize the dangerous
conditions confronting them Second,
Intimidation, federal patronage and
the Illegal use Of money were potent
factors and the dinner pail racket was
in II to a finish.n AS the people, es-
pecially the farmers, had Just emerged
out of the effects of the Cleveland pam
ic Of 1893 and the slight ripple OF pros
perity that we have had under the
Mckinley administration, has, for the
time being, "flled the dinner pail"
they have not considered the factors
that have brought the seeming pros
perity about, and they will not see 1t
until it has vanished and they find
themselves looking deep down in the
empty dinner pail; as famines
abroad and wars in our own country
and all over the world, will not last in
order to keep up any political party
long. There are many suggestion as
to what course the Democratic party
should pursue. Men who call them
selves Democrats, who a1ilated with
the Republicans in the late campaign,
are calling for a reorganization of the
old Democracy. To these men l
would say that a gold standard Demo
crat TO me is very close to a Republi-
can, in fact, l would just as o 0 sup
port one As the other. No, we will
not reorganize nov. Seven millions
of patriots have entered their protest
against gold standard trusts and mill
tarism. No, no reorganization for us.
AS soon as the people see the true
state Of affairs and the feeble show Of
prosperity has passed, the principles
advocated by Mr.. Bryan will loom up
before the hoodwinked people and
the doctrines OF Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln will be the battle cry all over
the land. Our financial system must
be changed before We will have any
permanent prosperity In this country.
The silver dollar is the poor mans
money; 1t is the business dollar in
everyday affairs and must and will be
reinstated. SO we must keep tab on
McKinley's prolgacy and stick TO
every line ana word Of the Kansas
Kansas City platform. We are only
temporarily defeated, but not in the
east discouraged. The issues did not
iefeat US: it vas a peculiar comblna-
nation Of circumstances which, In the
very nature Of things, must pass away
md the people will flock TO our stan
lard as the only refuge from Republi-
misrule, and Mr.. Bryan, the
man in America, will be
Ound on the side Of the people.
Yours truly,
s. E. KENDALL.

At the meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen Thursday night of last
week, steps were taken which, it is
hoped, will lead to the ultimate relief
and protection of the citizens of Co
lumbia, in regard to the impositions of
the L. &: N. Railroad and the Columbia
Water and Light Company.
After the transaction Of the routine
business, the question of the poor SCI vice
now being given by the Light COMPANY
was brought up, and a resolution was
adopted instructing the Light Com
mittee to take legal advice on the
matter, to ascertain the city's rights and
wherein the Light Company is failing to
comply with its contract, so that proper
action may be taken
The complaints against the railroad
were then bIo lght before the Board, and
Alderman Brownlcw introduced resolu-
ton, which was passed, instructlng the
City Attorney to prepare an ordinance to
be presented at the next meeting of the
Board, requiring the Railroad to give
proper protection to the travelling public
at the crossings at South High, South
Garden and South Main Streets. and
also to remove the obstruction caused by
the N, G st. T.. trains backing in
between the depot and the steps to the
platform. This ordinance, it is under
stood, will require the placing of gates
at the crossings mentioned and also
the repeating of the ordinance allow
ing the trains to blockade the High
Street crossing for five minutes at q
time. Several Aldermen spoke ir
regard to the matter, and seemed
anxious that it should be pushed
Alderman White was one Of the mos
earnest advocates of the measure. anC
spoke of the general demand from thu
public that something should be done
and the necessity for the Board taking
immediate action. Gentlemen" h
said, 1--WE must do something. This is

Chairman Fleming, of the Relief Com
mittee, in conversation with HERALD
reporter Monday morning, stated that
the actual collections of the committee
to date amount to "a, 678 63, leaving sew
eral hundr d dollars subscribed unpaid.
The committee has expended in supply
ing the immediate wants of the suffer
ers, in the way of food, clothing and
furniture, besides the expense of bur
rying the dead, about S3,400. This,
together with the amount to be spent
on the thirteen houses which they have
undertaken to replace, will make the
total expenditures out S5,2l2. So, it
will be seen, other funds are needed at
once, and it is urged that those who
have not yet paid their subscriptions
will do so Immediately.
The committee has concluded not to
attempt any thing further until the col
lection are completed and everything is
in, unless additional contributions are
made. although there is much in the
way of repairing damaged houses of the
very needy that might be done if the
! means were at hand.
The committee believes that all the
parties Who needed assistance in the
way of the necessaries of life, as a result
Of the storm, have been supplied, ano

: The Committee has relieved about
seventy families, averaging about fiv'

burial expenses, this makes an average
expenditure Of about $50 to family.
