Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1900-03-22

jamie IL. Harrison was looked
up &C. by the Republican party
as the Quintessence of d Con-
stitrtional lawyer, but since
his criticism of the Mckinley
fiaacc of the Porto Rican troub-
lie 10 has fallen below par.
Thc;; right. bout face action
tOW@rd Harrison is from the re-
verse cause of McKinley's
change on the subject.
The Mirror is in ia vor of the
re election of Judge Rucker to
congress. He has taken as
high rank as any man could his
first term; we have been pleas
ed with the votes he has cast
on important measures; nothing
has been charged against him
with good ground that would
be sufficient for refusing to re-
turn him for a second term, and
those who supported him before
have good reason to redouble
their energy for his return.
The pernicious.practice of send
ing a new man to congress ev-
cry two years should stop some
where and now is good time
to make the change. The sec
ond district can never have
much influence in the affairs OF
the nation represented by an
experienced man all the time.
The Democrats of the district
should not be moved so much
by factional strife, and instead
of considering the ambitions OF
individuals study the, interests
of the people which should be
served. --Marceliue Mirror.

Movement on Foot to Induce Sign
ers of the Protest to Withdraw
the Instrument-AotuaI Measuse-
ment Eliminates the Seattle and
Senate Saloons From the Protest.

1t has been announced that the protests
to the granting OF liquor licenses to four
SkagWav saloons will not be heard until
after all the jury cases have been disposed
of. In the meantime there Is a we'll de-
fined movement on foot among the bus
mess men to induce The sgners to the pro-
test to withdraw that troublesome instru-
ment. 1t will probably take the form of a
petition to be presented to those who
caused the protest to be filed, The petition
will call attention to the fact that to en-
force such law will compel the saloons to
go into the residence portion of the city for
a location.
City Engineer Diers. at the request of
the proprletors of the Seattle and Senate
saloons, measured the distance between the
PRESBYTERIAN church and those houses. As
suggested by the DAILY ALASKAN, it
was found that the distance between the
front entrance of the church and the saloons
in question exceeded 900 feet To be exact
the distance was 4oo8 feet. This will
eliminate these houses from the protest I'M
less the backdoor to the building in which
the Senate is located be called an entrance.
At the time the license for the Fifth
Avenue hotel was granted last year, the
side door in the rear of the building was
called the saloon entrance, but since then
the bar has been removed, so that that
saloon and the Reception come we'll inside
the limit if it be applied.

Passenger Travel Increasing.

The passenger travel from the interior
is growing rapidly and will continue to
grow until the close of navigation, as
passengers, homeward bound, like some of
the freighters now here, learn nothing bv
experience and put it off to the last
moment. Last evenings train brought
about ninety passengers, and the express
company's messenger, Mr. Phelps, brought
down a small cargo of dust, amounting in
all to trille over S4I 5000,
OF this, S4os, 900 vas a consignment to
the Canadian Bank of Commerce from its
Dawson branch, making total of 81, $780,
900 the bank has sent out through this
express company since July, other large
sums having been brought out by the
banks own officers.
NJ Marks, Victoria merchant sent out
by the express company $4,000 in a buck
skin sack, which Mr. Whitehead of the
company pushed through the crowd with,
exposed on his shoulder, evidently with
out the very slightest misgiving as to its
safety.
OF the approximate amount carried out
by the Individual passengers it was inns

official, when the quantity of goods now
going into Dawson is taken into consider
alton to predict an increased traffic on the
river this winter, but there is no doubt but
that by the first of January shortages on
some articles will be discovered and from
that time until the break up again there
will be many things profitably carried in

statement of the freight situation when he

"We are rushing out ten steamers to

would still be sufficient business for our

Utica, n Y, Oct. Ex-Governor
Roosevelt's third day of campaigning
in New York state embraced several
features not heretofore marked in his
reception. At nearly every place at
which he stopped there were huge
crowds of people. In this city instead
of speech making. the days work
ended with n review of an immense
demonstration. This was entirely
agreeable to Governor Roosevelt, who
during the day had made nine
speeches while travelling through three
counties-Chenango Madison and
Oneida.
The second feature was the meeting
here of the vice presidential candidate
and Senator Depew and the grouping
together upon the stage in this city,
within period of three hours. of eX.
Comptroller of the Currency Eckels.
Senator Depcw and Governor Roose-

concerted attempt at Rome to compel
Governor Roosevelt to answer ques-

Van Wyck, the prosecution Of the ice
trust, the prosecution of the alleged
canal thieves and other questions.
That the attempt was preconcerted
was assured from the fact that men in
