In the campaign just closed the
Globe Democrat charged that the State
school fund had been ''looted" by the
Democrats. The charge was reiterated
by every Republican campaign speaker
in the State. 1t was published by
numerous Republican papers outside
the State and the finger of scorn was
pointed at Democratic Encouragement
Inc thievery in Missouri by bigOted
scoundrels and holier-than-thou Puri-
tans all through the East. Either the
charge thus promulgated was a base
less SANDER too wicked for fit denuncia-
ton. or it vas true. 1t, therefore, is
incumbent upon the party which gov
ems this great State to show to the
world the truth in such a manner that
it cannot be gainsaid by the dirtiest
partisan that breathes. Let the Gen
eral Assembly, when it convenes next
January. by resolution appoint a COM
mittee to investigate the condition of
the State School fund from 1872 down
to the present date. Let thai commit
tee be composed of two Democrats and
two Republicans of unblemished party
standing, and give them due power for
the fullest investigation. Let the re-
suit obtained be published and the
world will know whom to denounce
and whom to commend. The REGIS
TER, which has in feeble way investi-
gated the matter for itself. does not
fear the outcome.

A GOOD many political idiocies went
down on Tuesday with the smashing
of Organism. The country will hear
no more of Alexander Hamilton as an
Issue in current politics. Every feath-
erhead paper in the country has been
pretending that Hamilton has been
running for some Office or other, and
that it was necessary for the safety of
the country that he should be scratched
by every patriotic voter. This imbe-
cility now vanishes.-GlObe- Democrat.
just stick a pin here, partner. and
wait and see. Hamiltonianism is the
basic rock upon which the Republican
party rests to-day, and the leaders,
grown bold by impunity, will soon give
such evidence of the fact, that nc one
can refuse to see the truth. The
American people may endorse Hamil-
toms idea of government as they have
endorsed the imperialistic colonial poll
cy of the Mckinley administration
but that endorsement will sound the
end of the political policies founded
upon the Revolution.

Redistricting the State.

Upon the Forty-irst general Assem-
bly, will fall the duty of redistricting
the State of Missouri into congression-
al, senatorial, representative and judi
cial districts. The new census gives
Missouri a population sufficient, under
the expected ratio of apportionmeut,
to entitle the state to an additional
member of the house of representa-
tives. While this member could be
elected from the state at large, as has
been done in some states, it is more in
accord with ordinary usage and prece-
dent to elect all from districts. Iu or
der to do this there will be a change
in all the districts of the state. At the
same time all other political divisions
of the state will receive attention. The
growth in population of certain sec
tions of the state will add to their rep
resentation in the general assembly.
This will be equalIzed by a correspond
ing reduction in the representation
from other sections.
III there was no other work before it
the next session of the general assem-
bly, would be important as we'll as
highly interesting because of its redis-
tricting duties. There will be abund-
ant room for aspiring politicians to dis
play their skill in adjusting distric,
boundaries for personal and party in
terest.-State Tribune.

The REGISTER fully endorses the
sentiment contained 10 the following
item taken from the Bloomfield Vindi-
Gator; 1.-The thanks of Missouri Demo
Gratis are due to Hon. j. M. SeIbert
and his able ~lieutenants for their eff
cient conduct of the Democratic cam
paign in Missouri; their management
has been clean, competent and success
full; Bryan Dockery and the State ticket
have secured sound majorities and no
Democratic congressman has fallen by
the way side. The Legislature will be
Democratic so that in Missouri, at
least, we shall be free from the evils of
Hannaism in State affairs. To Mr..
Seibert the Democrats are indebted
for a large share of their success, and
we feel certain hat when an oppor-
tunity occurs they will testify their
appreciation of his services in a SUBJ
stantial manner"

great citation, but opened my eyes to
the real merits of the new propaganda.
Iuasmuch as God has deputized US
Anglo-Saxons to rule creation, with, all

tai to our a~scendency, l am in favor of
DISTINGUISHING the Dutch, Italians, Jews

foreign birth or extraction, are not
capable of self-government. They may
resist, tits true, but we can easily
knock them in the head for their
trouble, and in the end the stupid
creatures will realize that we were
only comforting a favor on them in so
doing. We must have a larger army
to keep these turbulent and ignorant
folk in subsection for fear they may
become a menace to the new order, and
as a member o: the aristocracy, l favor
it most heartily. II no volunteers re-
spond, a draft will do the work. am

could not leave my business, but there
are several likely young fellows in

any more rot about relics like the con-
stitution and the Declaration of indie

He appealed to their sense of patriot
ism and bade them to stand up for their
birthright of freedom. No appeal was
made by him or through him to their
selfish instincts. That he met defeat
that the cause he espoused has been,
for the time being, overthrown-does
not detract from it's righteousness uor
his ability and worth. The REGISTER
confesses surprise at the peanut vim
dictiveness shown in the foregoing
paragraph. 1t expected better things
from the Republican editor-especially

ry. It will not descend to a defense of
Mr.. Jones by comparison with Mr..

THE Carthage Morning Democrat re-
joices over Jasper county and Missou-
ri as follows: I'VE are proud of Jasper

The greatest on earth. Her 1900

tise her and make her greater. Sa-
line, Pettis, Monroe, Galloway, etc.,

pared with Jasper. Having gone re-
liably democratic for the third sue
cessIve time is ample assurance that
republican vagaries will never more
interfere with the progress of grand old
Jasper. Populists, free silver repub-
licans, democrats, let US be happy and
rejoice. The world is not ours. bat
Jasper and Missouri are. Time will
vindicate your doctrine, re-establish
your principles and prove the wisdom
of your political belief. Let your

burning, and We yourselves like unto
men that wait for their lord: that

may open unto him Immediately"

From Itt-Bfts
Or. McTavish Of Edinburgh was some
thing of a ventriloquist, and it befell that
he wanted a lad to assist in the surgery,
who must necessarily be of strong nerves
He received several applications. and when
telling lad what the duties We're in order
to test his nerves, he would say. while
pointing TO a grinning skeleton standing up
right in a corner:
Part of your work would be to feed the
skeleton there, and while you are here you
may as well have try to do So"
A few lads would consent TO a trial, and
receive basin of hot Cruel and spoon.
While they were pouring hot mass into
the skull the doctor would throw his voice
so as 10 make 1t appear to proceed from the
jaws of the bOny customer, and gurgle
out:
'Gr-r-r-gr-h-uh, That's hot.'
This was too much, and. without excep-
ton. the lads dropped the basin and bolted.
The doctor began to despair of ever get
ting suitable helpmate until a small boy
came and was given the basin and spoon
After the first spoonful the skeleton ap-
peared 10 say:
"Gr-r-r-uh-r-hr, That's hotr'
Shoveling in the scalding Cruel as fast as
ever, the boy raped the skull and impa-
tienjly retorted:

back and opening in front to disclose a
white satin petticoat The bodice is laced
at the back, perfectly plain in front. the
whole costume being after period of Louis
XVI. In this gown, as well as in all of the
other gowns she wears the first thing to at
tract attention Is the enormous length of
the tails as they call the train in Eng
land. They sweep for yards behind and re-
qu1re no small effort to handle successfully.
The second dress is marvellous creation Of
pale green satin brocaded with huge clusters
of Easter lilies in pink The skirt Is cut in
plain. straight lines, with one wide box plat
at the back. The bodice Is low, of the same
material as the skirt, and is decorated with
pearls and diamonds and bunch of Easter
lilies at the shoulder The third dress is
exquisite and has been declared to be the
best of the lot. 1t Is of ciel blue satin, bro
caded all over in darker shade with stars
and about the feet in a paler shade with
moons. The bodice has a deep V front and
back. which is filed in with beautiful
Youghal Irish lace. Aside from the fabric
and the cut, this gown attracts from the
fact that it is closely embroidered with
gems that it is perfect blaze of light. On
every five inches square of the gown from
the waist to the end of the train, is carat
diamond The value of this gown, which is
said in lines to be perfect, is $4,000. There
Is another gown of biscuit color brOca1ei
satin trimmed with profusion of spanSied
diamante lace. with waistband and Shout
der straps of turquoise and diamonds. With
this she wears a rich miror velvet cloak
Of blazing orange color, shot with gray and
crusted with ecru lace, lined with mauve,
shot with gray and softened with chinchila
trimming. A long jabot of mauve chiffon,
meeting in a bow, falls in long sweeps to
her feet in front. The last act gown is
perhaps. so far as the gown itself goes, the
most expensive and beautiful of all, being
the famous ermine dress which first saw
the light at Clandyce's war fund entertain
ment in London. and was worn the second
time at the celebrated tea concert in New
York. 1t is a superb creation Of ermine and
old Venetian point lace, and Mrs. Langtry
will wear it during her engagement in this
city. The jewels worn by Mrs. Langtry
are no less wonderful than her gowns. They
represent in value a quarter of n million of
money in diamonds alone. to say nothing
of her magnificent turquoise which We're
given her by her husband The most nota-
BILE of all her jewels, perhaps, is the Won
derful diamond rope, with a pearl pendant,
which she wears in the first act. The pearl
itself weighs 100 carats. The chain is made
up of diamonds of two carats weight each.
set five to the inch in platinum. This chain
reaches around her neck and down to the
bottom of her gown, the pearl pendant
swinging against her feet when she moves.
