100000 for Partisan Spftework.
AS was foreseen when the Goebel-
ties first proposed to appropriate
500, 900 to find the murderer of Goebel
the real programme is to use the
money for personal vengeance and to
besmirch those whom the Geebel
leaders most fear. All the funds they
can raise are to be scattered in star
chamber ISLANDERS and prosecutions.
Republicans are dragged to Jail be
cause the Goebelites want them there
| and to cut them off from bail or the
speedy trial to which they are entitled.
The Goebel revolutionists do not in
tend to find the one man who fired the
shot until they have wreaked their
mslignity upon fifty who had nothing
to do with the tragedy, but whom they
hate because they stand in their way
politically. 1t was for this venomous
scheme that an inquest was avoided.
Details of the autopsy are withheld.
Not until they send to dungeons the
maximum of innocent men, cutting
them off from the ordinary resources
of persons accused, will those plot
ters pause in their conspiracy of
malice.
Gov. Taylor calls attention to the
significant fact that the Goebelites
sent to New York for a lawyer ''whose
course in criminal practice in Cincin-
natl was SO odious as to cause a riot,
resulting in the destruction of the
court house and the loss Of over fifty
lives" That lawyer was known as a
jury fxer, and the court house was
burned by the infuriated citizens when
they believed that one lawyer was
more powerful to corrupt juries than
all the courts were to serve the ends
of justice Kentucky is plunged in a
similar and worse experience, involv-
ing the whole state and keeping alive
not only threats of ri0ting, but of
civil war. For it is inconceivable
that American citizens will elect state
officers by an unquestionable ajority
and then submit to see them pushed
aside by pretenders. Taylor was
elected Governor of Kentucky. His
credentials rest upon the honest bal
lots of freemen. His title can never
be assailed. though personally he has
already been deeply wronged. Poor
Kentucky is going through dark
period of political infamy--GIobe-

Does an Immense Business.

The branch house in this city of
the Western Poultry and Game Com
pany is great distributor of money
and great help to the farmers in this
section of country. Before the estab-
lishment of this house poultry was
sold by the dozen and twelve scrub
chickens brought as much as twelve
of the heavy stock. The opening of
the poultry house here put an end to
that way of marketing poultry and
now the farmer sells his poultry by
weight and gets more money for what
he has to sell. This has brought
about change in the raising of poul-
try. The farmers are getting rid of
the old scrub stock and replacing it
with the best stock to be had in the
country. A dozen hens of the i'm
proved stock will weight twice as
heavy as a dozen hens of the little
fiy-up-the-tree stock and of course
will bring twice the money in the
market because they are paid for by
the pound and not by the dozen.
Some idea may be formed as to the
business the Western Poultry and
Game Company does in this city when
it is known that the house here pays
out often as high as four thousand
dollars in a single month for poultry
and game.
Mr.. L. r. Gillian, the manager of
the house in this city, is the best post
ed man in the State as to poultry
raising and besides experimenting
the Company's house here he is do
ing much in the way of having our
farmers raise better breed OF poul-

We have already pointed out the
curious origin of the doctrine that
the constitution goes of itself into all
new territory acquired by the United
States. 1t was the device of Mr..
Calhoun. 1t was the temporary ex-
pedient of she pro-slavery statesmen
in their efforts to strengthen that in
stitutien politically by extending its
geographical limits.
Abraham Lincoln put an end for
evec 20 the usefulleess of that partic-
ulac doctrine in that particular direc
ton.

OF United States Senators whose
active political experience goes back

saign is Mr.. Teller, of Colorado
de is not with the Republican party
now at all points of agreement, but
with respect te the old pro-siavery
theory of automatic self-extension Of
'the constitution and its provisions,
he is as straight a Republican as the
party holds. A typographical error
in the Congressional Record repre-
sented him as saying that he was dis
posed to change his mind about the
powers of Congress in dealing with
new possessions. In correcting ;Sie
mistake Mr.. Teller made this interest,"
ing statement
I'm 1860 spent good part of the
summer in discussing political ques-
tions, and this was one of those dis
cussed, and it was very thoroughly
discussed. We as Republicans, sup
porters of Mr.. Lincoln, claimed that
the constitution did not go into the
territories That was everybody 8
position in those days except those
who wanted to force slavery into the
territories Now, from that time to
this. have had very positive views
on that subject, and in the last two
years | have given good deel of
care and attention to it. 1 don't want
to go down in history as having
changed my mind, and therefece l
make this correction
The opponents of expansion are
fond of exercising their imaginations
about the probable position ot Mr..
Lincoln on the great questions OF the
present. if he were alive to-day.
Here is un6isputable evidence as to
what would have been his position in
regard TO the doctrine which is the
king-pin OF their philosophy o. OBJ
struction.
Lincoln would have stood with his
REPUBLICAN successor, President Nc
Kinley, and with the Republican
majorities in the Senate and the
House, against the doctrine which the
eIpansionists of slavery invented for
the benefit of the obstructionists of
national expansion fifty years later

Look Out for Him.

Osceola isn't the only town that was
"taken in" by this sharper. A few
days ago a man drove into Waynes-
vile with a pony, blind in both eyes
and a very ordinary looking animal,
hitched to primitive road cart with
a pine box for body and the wheels
patched, wired and braced in every
conceivable manner. The harness
consisted of wooden names with ropes
for tugs and lines and the balance of
the makeup in proportion. The boys
guyed him considerably, making
mucf sport of his horse and rig;
when the time came the stranger
sprung what the crowd considered a
bluff by offering to run his blind
pony against any of the ordinary
stock of the town. A race was soon
made with horse belonging to col
ored man, and after all the bets the
boys wanted on even money had been
taken the stranger took what he could
get at two to one. The result can be
easily guessed, as the blind pony was
any easy winner. After several hours
spent in enjoying the chagrin of the
boys who had ridiculed him in the
morning, he hitched up to his dilapi-
dated vehicle and went on in search
of more suckers.-St. Clair County

Trade in st. Louis.

We take the following from Dunn's
Review of March 10:
All records of buying have been
beaten during the past three weeks in
several jobbing lines, and buyers
cover a wider section of country than
ever before. The increase is largest
in the Southeast, though there is gain
in all quarters. The largest increase
has been in millinery, closely follow
ed by dry goods and shoes, ayerag-
ing 30 per cent. for the three, and in
groceries the increase is 20 per cent. =,
in hardware and hats 25, and in other
lines above 10 per cent Collections
are above average in all lines, with
some inclination to discount new bills.
Most manufacturing concerns are
working with orders ahead for thirty
days or more. Outside of corn the
grain movement is small, and the
bulk of the freight movement is in
merchandise. Retail trade is.improv-
ing, and the only unsettling feature is
the threatened street railway strike
which will probably be bridged over.

JACKSON, Mo-, MARCH 10, 1890.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT.-Yrur notice
regarding the funding OF the COM
promise bonds is incorrect so far as
the taker of the bonds is concerned,
but. however, right as to the rate of
interest. Will give you a brief his
tory in regard to this matter.
At the February term the Court took
up the matter, made An order that
bids be received by the Court on
March 4, 1890. at the lowest rate of
interest that could be obtained for
bonds at par value and payment of
all expenses. The Clerk was instruct
sd to address eotters to banking
houses in ST. Louis. Chicago. New
York and other cities. In compliance
with this order the Clerk sent out
about 30 letters to various banking
houses in the above and other cities.
In response to this, however, but two
bids were presented: .ene from n. w.
Harris & Co, of Chicago. and one
from the Mississippi Valley Trust Co
and the Little & Hays Investment Co.
OF st. Louis. The former house bio
to fund the bonds.st ~ per cent and
pey all expenses -of registering bonds
and printing same-aud a bonus OF
$1,000. The other two concerns CON-
bined offered Also TO pay all expenses
and give bonus of $50. n. VI.
Harris 4 Co. also had in proposi-
Ztion to fund the debt at per cent,
but in that case would charge a CON-
mission OF S., Geo The question WIS
argued in Court at considerable length
and it was decided by the Court that
the 4 per cent proposition was not in
accordance wi3l the order of the
Courts nor with the State law, which
provides that funding bonds be rot
sold at less than par. A payment OF
bonus or commission would reGlsce
the par value of the bonds about 3
per cent The Court thereupOn decid-
ed that the proposition OF the Missis-
sippi Val2ey Trust Co. and the Little
& Hays Investment Co. was the best
one, and accordingly awarded the
funding bends to them.
The amount of debt to be funded is
s10S, ZOO, divided into go, IC-20 and
1920 year oBSion bonds; oDe-fourth,
or s27 900, Of each of the two first and
S., 200 OK the latter. 200 of the
old compromise bonds will remain, so
that that the Court can redeem same
in the coming five years. An order is
,-now on record for the redemption OF
$1,000 of these on the first day of
May next The refunding of the
above amount will save upward OF
$500 annually in interest for the next
seven or eight years. After that time
the saving will be lessened, aut SO
much more ca1 be paid on principal.
1t is hoped hat when the life Of these
funding bonds has expired, tha. the
last one of them will be paid.

D1sregarded Laws.

The pistol-carrying habit has be-
come such a prevailing evil even in
the staid old commonwealth of Vir-
ginia special legislation is urged to
suppress it. A bill has been intro
duced by Senator Bruce of Wise
county which provides for graded
punishments. For the nrst otferse
a small fine is to be imposed and a
bond of 1000 exacted, to be forfeited
upon conviction of the person for a
second offense. The bill also calls
for the prohibition of the sale OF
pistols and pistol cartridges in the
state.
This bill or any other bill for the
suppression of the pistol evil will
prove ineffective unless the law is
vigorously enforced. We have law
in Tennessee against the sale OF
pistols, but somehow everyone who
wants pistol and has money enough
to buy it manages to get it. We have
laws against pistol-carrying, hut
these laws when applied by the courts
are often nullifed by executive elem
ency- The pistol habit is a great evil
and a fruitful cause of crime, but the
greatest evil that aff1icts this and
other states is the failure to resolutely
enforce and vindicate the law in this
and many other respects.-Nashville
