TEMPTING FOR M'KINLEl.
Pittsburg Will Contribute 5000, 900 TO
Campaign Fund Conditi0nally.

Washington. Jan. 15.-lf President
Mckinley will deliver the opening
speech of the campaign at Pittsburg
he will receive for his campaign fund
5000, 900 from that city which he
may not otherwise get. This offer.
it is said. was made TO Mr.. Mckinley
on Saturday last by a delegation
representing the Americas Club of
the Smoky City The membership of
the dub comprises most OF the heavy
iron manufacturers of Pittsburg,
who are the beneficiaries of the Nc
Kinley fiscal system. The Americas
Is preparing for a big celebration OF
Gen. Grant, birthday, April %, and
it is desired to utilize the occasion for
the formal opening of the republican
campaign. The president, it is re-
ported. was very favOrably impressed
by the liberal offer, but asked for
time to consider it.
Mark Hanna was out of the city at
the time, and it is understood that
in his absence Mr. Mckinley did not
feel authorized to make any agree
ment for campaign work or contri-
buttons. Ii is not doubted that Mr..
Hanna will advise the president TO
accept the offer. After his remark
able statement at Philadelphia Sat
urday on the condition of the repub-
lican campaign fund, Senator Hanna
is prepared to shake down the faith
full. 1t is not to be credited that he
would let the president refuse Pitts
burg's offer of 5000. 900 for the open
inc sppach of the campaign unless
some other city should offer more.

Let the ''inanciers" and their
dupes paste this prediction in their
hats: If Congress shall pass the gold
standard bill, it is signed by the presi-
dent, the effect will be very much like
that of the great ''Sound-money vic
tory" in 1896. Business of all kinds
will feel a serious set back, and next
summer the republicans will be de-
claiming that the lack of confidence
and hard times are due to fear OF
Bryan's election. In fact, the effect OF
the passage of the bill is already ap-

Woman Protects Her Home.

Warrensburg, Mo, Jan. 14.-Jerry
Calvin was shot near here yesterday
by Mrs Crowley. Calvin, in COM
pany with several Others, was drink
ing in the barn of Maurice Crowley,
several miles from this city. He
started toward the house. Mrs.
Crowley saw him coming and obtain
ed a shotgun. When Calvin came near
she ordered him to stop under penal
ty of being shot. Calvin told her to
shoot, and started toward her. Mrs
Crowley, without further arley, took
aim and fired, filling Galvin's head
with small shot. Calvin fell, and
Mrs. Crowley at once came to the city
and gave herself up, but the officers
released her upon hearing her story.
Physicians were summoned to attend
the wounded man, and it is thought
if blood poisoning does not set in he
will recover.

The Record made q slight mi

The Record made a slight miscalcu-
lation in it's last issue on the levy
question. A fifteen cents levy on the
hundred dollars valuation, on a ten
million dollars assessment would
yield $15, 900 instead of ST 800. This
would mean 100000 in four years,
the debt would be paid and the taxa
ton not prove burdensome. We be-
lieve direct levy the best method by
which to raise the money to build a
new court house However, if the
court and the representatives of the
people agree that a bond issue is the
best method, and there are some
good arguments to sustain that view,
then we will bow to their Judgment.

I'd instead.

NOT "PETTY POLITICS"

We differ somewhat from friend
Walters in reference to the rights OF a
state officer to take part in the coun-
ellis of his party. 1t is true that
James NJ Seibert has been a long
time in state office; it is also true that
the democrats of the state are re-
Q )onsible for this. There is no doubt
ing their ability to turn him down at
any time they saw fit, but they recog-
nized in him an honest, capable and
very accommodating official, strong
in his party and respected by all peo-
pie because of those qualities. His
counsel in the party management is
almost indispensable because of his
experience, superior Judgment and
splendid abilities as an organizer. He
spends his time, talents and money for
the success of the democratic party.
Is there any wonder that he is given
preferment. Is there any reason why
such a man should be deprived of Il
choice among candidates because he
has served the people faithfully and
well as an officer? Has not Mr. Sci
bert the same right to help an old
and tried employee, like Capt. Albert
0. Allen has been, as Col. Walters
has to help his favorite friend?
What has been said of Mr.. Seibert
applies with equal force to Governor
Ii it is fault to stand by
ones friends through evil as well as
good report, and give them what he
has to bestow, then Lon Stephens
has grievously sinned past all redemp-
ton. 1t is a great pity there are not
more sinners like him in public life to-
day. We are supposed to put our
strongest and best party workers to
the front. We expect them to do the |
party service and they undoubtedly |
nave a right to a voice in the selection
Of the party nominees.
We are heartily i'll sympathy with
he theory of rotation i'll office, but
when a man by his own merits
himself with the people.
20 that they are willing to retain
lim longer as q public servant, he
hould not be criticised on that
core nor his rights as voter and a
democrat taken away from him.

KEEP AN EYE ON DeARMOND.

AprOpOs of the discussion of q sue
cessor to Senator Vest, Occasioned
| by the reiteration of the Senator that
| it is his intention to retire at the eX-
piration of his term, we want to sug-
gest that the democrats keep an eye
on David A. DeArmond. He is the
peer intellectually of any man i'll the
state, William j. Stone not excepted.
He is practically the leader in the
house, while another by manipula-
ton wears that honor. He has been
before the public in an official capac-
lty for many years and no man i'll
public life in the United States has a
cleaner record No suspicion of a
stain has ever rested against his fair
name. He has come to be regarded
like Caesars wife-above suspicion
He lis the friend of the common people
and his voice and vote is always used
in their defense and to their advant-
age. The people of Missouri are
watching his course closely. We have
Travelled over a considerable portion
of the state in the past three months
and have taken pains to investigate
Judge DeArmond's standing, and
was very much gratified by the high
esteem in which he is held by the peo-
pie. 1t was the unanimous opinion
of those with whom We talked that
he is the coming man, and he is being
generally discussed by democrats all
over the state. Keep an eye on
David DeArmond.

General EDWARD c. Crow will stand
for denomination for Attorney Gen
eral. This is god news to democrats
the state over. So good and efficient
an attorney general as he has proved
can i'll h spared by the people
of the state. and especially in
the next two years when the test will
be made between the people and the
great corporations. Ed Grow has
shown that he not only has the abil-
ity to cope with the best legal talent
the money OF the trusts can CON-
mand, but has the courage to assail
them in their strongholds. In the
past year he has compelled the insur-
ance companies of this state to pay
into the treasury $4,000 with a
number of suits vet pending in the
supreme court. This for a violation
of the antitrust laws of the state.
His fight against the trusts has been
superb and it would be a reflection
upon our Ieople if We allowed this
powerful influence to encompass his
defeat. Ii the democrats of Missouri
allow the trusts TO beat Ed Crow
then they are not deserving of success
in their tight against that powerful
enemy.
