which the names of the candidates for

not so named, shall be counted"
Under this rule anyone a become

The word ''not" does not appear in
the last line of rule 8, in the original
copy. / am sorry the error occurred
in setting up the rules, etc. The Off
cial rule will read as enclosed.
Yours, Truly. HENRY c. BELL.
Chairman Cong. Com.
This is remarkable, and against all
precedent. To this, as in other prima-
ry elections. it is properly provided
that the expense thereof shall be borne
by the candidates, and if the assess
ment levied against any candidate be
not paid by a certain date fixed by the
committee his name will not be put on
the ballot nor shall any votes he may
receive be counted. This is a necessa-
~ rule, else the means required for the
conducting of such election would be
lacking, or a part of the candidates be
made to bear the burden for all. In
this county. for instance, a fee of $40,
each, was assessed and paid before the
names of the candidates for Congress
ional Committeeman were printed on
the ticket. Would it have been just to
them If votes had been counted for
candidates who had not paid the fee?
Tush! II the word s'not" in the clause
Mr.. Bell seeks to correct is omitted, it
renders the rule sui generis, SO to say,
in more ways than one, and against all
rule.
But the question of counting is not
the REGISTERS objection to Rule 8. 1t
is that that rule makes a ''close corpo-
ration" of the Congressional candidates
and the present committemen-giving
solely to them the power to name the
person or persons who shall have the
right to get their names printed on the
ballot. The naming of these candid
ates belongs of right to the people they
are intended to represent, and it is I'M
Democratic and heretical for any Que,
two or three persons to be endowed
with that sacred prerogative, whether
by rule or otherwise.
No! The only way to correct Rule
s is to .scut its tail off close behind the

SAYS the jefferson Democrat: ''Some
OF our newspaper brethren are getting
excited over the race for congress in
this district; and some of them are
saying things that they will regret
having said. 1t seems that Edward
Robb and Jasper Burks are contestants
for nomination by the Democratic
primary. and friends of each are trying
to help their ~favorite by abusing the
other man. The nomination of either
will leave a dish of crow for some of
these newspaper men; and crow has
the reputation of being a very ~unsavory
mess. On the 18th of next month the
Democrats of this district will name
the candidate OF the Jefferson DEM
ocrat, and up to that date we have no
favorite."

were not the ways of the Christian; he
did not spend his earnings in riotous
living: he kept himself to himself and
looked forward to the day when he
should return to the land of his birth
just as the trading Christian in China
longed for the time when he should
go back to end has days among friends
and kindred. Aud it is fair to assume
that the clink of the American dollar
was no more offensive to the Coufu-
clan joss than was the jingle of Chi
nese coin to the ears of the Christian
God. Erstwhile the Christian had
grievous anxiety as to the Chinaman's
soul; but behold! when the dollar
doomed up-when by reason of COM
mercial intercourse extended into our
domain, it went to the heather and
came not to us-then his evangelical
ton became fiat, stale and Improbable.
The sand-lotters harried his new-found
home and killed him; the great Ameri-
a Congress barred him from our
ports. From the sinners view of JUS
tice he ought to have come over and
opened our gates at the lannon's mouth
as we had opened his; but that, per-
haps, would have been wicked, since
everybody knows that his guns could
not have been properly blessed and
sanctifed. That he is unregenerate Is
evidenced by his recent killing of the
representatives of the nations which
are planning the dismem6erment of
his country in order that he may be
saved from his own unrighteousness.

NICARAGUA must he the richest coun-
try on earth. Dispatches tell how the
people down there have put a tariff IN
American goods that will make them
all wealthy. The duty On whisky is
$40 a gallon; on a SIG enameled bed
stead it is $3.50; on a 81 ice box it is
$4S; on butter. 40 cents. AS the for
eigners pay the tariff in this country,
so the foreigners must pay the Nicarag-
uan tariff, and such a tariff will soon
make all the people down there rich

enough goods! That is what the Re-

DUNKLIN Democrat; 'sAs will be seen
by a tabular statement, published in
this issue. that part of Dunklin county
adjacent to the St. Louis, Kennett and
Southern railroad, is raising 1872
acres of water-melons. This is but
half the acreage in the same territory
last year; but it is enough. The yield
should at least be 600 car loads of
marketable melons. Now if the rails
ers do not make the mistake of former
years and rush to market unripe, I'M
classified melons, they will make some
money, but if they do ship green mel
ons they will ruin the market the first
week and do the county a damage that
1t will not ecover from during the
season. Where one farmer can not
cut a full car load of prime. ripe mel
ons, he would better combine his good
ones with those of his neighbor, and
each will realize more money than
they would to ship mixed cars, indi-
vidually. The crop is at least a week
late this year and 1t is not probable
that any really good melons will be
shipped before July 20.
