Washington's Opinion OF Trusts.
In l776. General Waahingtonia army


In 1878. General Washington's army
was not IN q very good condition. 1t
needed food and clothing, in fact the
soldiers were In rags, and with their
officers lived on the plainest Of food,
principally roots. Congress was ssrug-
Cling to supply him and his army
with the necessaries Of life, but ii had
trouble with those who had the sup
plies, because they controlled the mar
ket and were not disposed to let them
20 without being paid their own price.
II was then that Washington wrote
Joseph Reed, president Of congress, to
the following effect:
at gives me sincere pleasure 70 find
that the assembly Of Pennsylvania is so
we'll disposed TO second your endeavor in
bringing those murderers Of our cause,
the monopolizers, forestallers and en-
grossers, to condign punishment. 1t
Ia much to DO lsmented that each state
long ere this has not hunted them
down as pests to society and the great.
est enemies we have to the happiness
Of America.
al would to God that some one oil
the most atIocious In each state Va,
hung In gibbets upon q gallows FIVE
times as high as the q proposed b.
Hamau,
"No punishment, in my op,nion, il
too great for the man who builds hTs
greatness upon his couutry's ruin"

THR PRIMARY,

The primary has come and gone, aud
while We are sorry that there was not
room on the ticket for all the men
who sought places, We believe that the
democracy Of Lafayette county has
never offered = better list OF candi-
dates for the suffrage Of the people.
They are all tried and true democrats.
aud IN the campaign that has just
closed have proven themselves perfect
gentlemen and worthy any trust the
people can place in their hands.
1t is also q matter Of generalization
that the campaign that has just closed
was one in which each mar made the
race to win on his merits, and whether
he hAs me- defeat or Won q victory his
record Is untarnished and bis con-
science is clear. No cleaner campaign
has wei been conducted In this county,
and We sincerely hope it u an earnest
of the primary We may expect to End
o our county politics for the future.
Naturally those who met defeat were
more or less disappointed, but they
have shown themselves men and bow
grsciouSly to the will Of the people and
announce their intention Of working
for the success Of the ticket from now
until general election day,

Lieu.enant-G Governor Bolte, candi-
date for state treasurer, is o Of the
best men in Missouri politics and Is
gaining strength everywhere he goes.
He halls from Franklin county and
while 1t is strongly republican he car
ried it, for county Office, five times In
succession and the last time when the
rest Of the democratic ticket was de.
feated by more than a thousand votes.
Mr.. Bolte came neal being a citizen oil
this county at n time, having bought
a farm here but when he came TO pay

aud the trade was dropped. He is oil
German descent and the German demo.
Gratis over the state would certainly ap.

Last Monday evening a large audience
gathered at the opera house 10 response to
the announcement that Misses Perle Shale
and Gertrude Vest, Of the Central College
School OF Expression, would giyea Recital
on that evening. Both these young ladies
had appeared before audiences 10 our city
before aud their previous efforts were only
a i~oretaste OF the treat that was in store
for their friends on this occasion.
The first number on the program was
q humorous selection from Richard
Harding Davis and wat delivered In a
most entertaining manner by Miss Shale.
The second number was also humorous
and was presented by Miss Vest who i'm
~personated the IRISH woman describing the
ghost scene from Hamlet 10 a captivating
manner.
The third, nth and seventh numbers
were presented by Miss Shale and the
wide range Of subjects presented Illus.
trated her versatility In the art. The
scene from lugomar is worthy OF special
mention and ELECTED much applause from
the audieace, In this she unprecedented
the maid who refused the advances Of the
misery old wldower In a perhect manner.
The fourth, sixth and eighth numbers
were presented by Miss Vest aud she won
hearty applause at each appearance. In
the fourth number she gave four short
selections that showed her ability II
change from one character to another In q
moment and proved herself an accom-.
plished reader. Her heartiest applause
was at the close Of number six, In which
she described with telling effect the rescue
OF a child from the feet Of the horses OF
the race track. 1t WAS with difficulty
that she escaped a recall on this number
Both these young ladies are possessed o
wonderful talent In this line Of work AMI
we doubt II any entertainment eve
created a better impression on an au
dience than theirs.

when it came time to cast his vote that
It would be on the side OF right and
purity in politics.

moment that the vote would likely be

pended on bis vote be did not hesitate
for an instant. Voting as bis conscience
