ABOUT THE CHlLDREN'S HOME
SOCIETY,".

A short time ago careless reporter
for one of the st. Louis papers put a
statement in one his papers to the EFF
feet that boy had been received from
Fredericktown by the Children's Home
Society for the taking of which the
county court of Madison county paid
the Society $25, and that said society,
because it was crowded with children,
turned the boy out on the street where
he was found in an epileptic fit by a
policeman and taken to the City Hos
pital. One of the Fredericktown pa
pers, without waiting to get the facts
from the Society, published this state
ment with some comments, and this
article was largely quoted by the local
papers of Southeastern Missouri. As
it is doing the Society great injustice
it feels that it ought to give the facts
that all may see them. They are these;
Sometime ago, the pastor of the
Baptist Church of Fredericktown asked
the superintendent of the Society if he
could take a teu-year-old boy which
the county had in charge, and whom
he described as "a regular vagabond,"
and whom the sheriff. afterwards called
"a Jim-Cracker." The superintend-
ent agreed to take the boy on trial,
without any promise to keep him, and
asked, as is always done when county
charges are taken. that the county pay
$50 to the Society to meet expenses.
He, however, in a private letter to the
minister wrote that the child would be
taken whether the county paid any
thing or not. Without any further
notice the sheriff brought the child
one Sunday when there was no one in
the Office By accident he met one of
the agents of the Society to whom he
gave $25, and said agent took the boy
at once to the Nursery and turned him
over to the matron.
The house was not crowded at all
and nothing was said about refusing
him. When the matron undertook to
battle the boy he feigned to have fit
of hydrophobia, and so frightened her
and the children at nursery that she
sent for policeman who thought it
best to take him to the hospital and
The next day the physician at the hos
pital was convinced that nothing allied
the boy and SO notified the society.
The boy, himself, confessed that his
fit was .'put on" so that he might get
away Before the child was returned
to the Nursery he escaped from the
hospital, was found by a policeman
and returned. The next day the boy
was taken back to the Nursery where
he remained for over week, when he
climbed out of window in the night
and escaped. The police were notified
but failed to find him. Since then he
has turned up near FredericktowD,
having beaten his way back, and the
$25 was returned to the county court
by the Society.

THE New franklin Fifth Reader is
one of the series of adopted by the
Missouri Textbook Commission for
the use of the public schools of the
State. 1t is published by New York
firm and filled to the brim with selec-
lions from writer's, orators and poets
of renown, and generally, selected
with good judgment and taste. But
by general preference given to New
England authors and orators, with a
marked paucity of selections outside
their pale, an insidious air of section
alism peryades the book. In one in
stance, at least, the plain truth is
made to give way to glori6cation oil
section and race. We allude to Mrs.
Hemans' Landing OF the Pilgrim
Fathers" The concluding stanza has
these lines:
cay, call it holy ground,
The soil where first they trodl
They haze left HNSfained zt'has there AtJ
found
Freedom TO 7Oorsbip God!''
The italics embrace the untruth con-
veyed to the young and impressionable
mind. If the Pilgrim Fathers pos.
sessed one determination above their
desire for freedom of conscience for
themselves, 1t was to deny that bless
ing to everybody else. After estab-
fishing themselves upon New England g
bleak and barren coast their first and
greatest care was to stamp out all 9TH
err faiths than their own. They "leave
what there they found
to worship God!" Great
Scottl! Was poetic license ever
pushed further toward its EXTREMIST

The syndicate of political self-seek-
ers, headed by the New York World
all of them boilers from the Chicago
platform-seem to think that the peo-
pie are q flock of feathered bipeds
ready to follow any red rag put before
them. They want Dewey as a candi-
date for President, and say, if he will
run, neither Bryan nor Mckinley will
have a show. This sort of s'guff"
makes us sick. As professed ad-
mirer of Mckinley, Admiral Dewey is
80 poor a Democrat that the party
would deservedly go to the devil if it
stultified itself by nominating him. In
NO expression that he has ever made,
politically, has he shown himself in
touch with the principles of Jefferson

The Porto Rican act of Congress is
a product of that lust Of power that is
forever mangling the letter and tear
ing at the spirit of the Constitution.
Yet it is but the foam on the crest of
the billow that tells of the fret of the
depths below. The presidential an
nouncements that ''forcible annexa-
ton" would be criminal aggression
one month and the issue of proclaim
alton in another so fraught with per-
fidy that the trusted general of the
army shrank from its publication; the
destinations proclamation of our mis-
sion of liberty and progress among the
nations in one breath and the sancti-
fication of polygamy and slavery in Jo-
10 and bond labor in Hawaii in another;
the substitution of secret and SIMS
ter diplomacy for the historic, candid
open good faith diplomacy of the re-
public, and the ill-concealed sympathy
with the march of British empire
oyer the liberties and independence of
the two South African republics, all
serve to illustrate how maleyolent is
the spirit once smitten by the lust Of
innovation and given up to the whims
and caprices of unbridled power.-Ron.

in Omaha and after a little rest will canvass the field for a business opening in Phoenix. MT. Jackson was in the United States naval service for eight years and was in Samoa on the Van dalia in 1889 during the memorable storm that was so disastrous to the shipping in the harbor a Apia. He re- marked yesterday that in the course of his career he had been in cooler eli
 mates than this during July, but Phoe- nix climate after all is not distressing On the way out he stopped d couple of weeks in St. Louis and though the mercury did not climb so high it was vastly more uncomfortable than it is here. Incidentally he remarked upon the jealousy of Phoenix, harbored by certain northern towns in the territory, and said that from the word painting of some who tried to dissuade him from coming here he was almost tempted at Ash Fork to buy tickets through to the coast. but he is glad now that he didn't. This is unkind on the part of residents of sister towns. Phoenix tries to labor for all Arizona. If a man wants to stop in Yavapai or Coconino or Mohave county and buy mine, Phoenix is glad of it. If he wants to come to the valley and raise pumpkins. northern Arizona ought not to interfere. In fact. it is Phoenix money that very largely keeps up the local circulation in the northern hills during the summer months.

R atifcation Meetings at City Hall
 Plaza Tonight.

A democratic ratification meeting will be held tonight at the city hall plaza for the purpose of stamping the pro- ceedings of the late democratic nation al convention with the approval of the members of the Jeffersonian and juve- nile organizations. or, as Fl Democrata put it on Monday night: "Manana en la noche tendra lubar en la plaza conocida DOT el City Hall una gran iunta democrata con el fin de ratificar la Lominacion hecha DOT la Conven- cion Nacional de Philadelphia elijiendo cahdidatos a la presidencia el Hon. w. J. Bryan para la vice -presidencia el Hon. A Stevenson. Grandes arreglos SC estan hacienda DOT el Comite, para que la ratification sea eNpIendida.'
 This. in English. means: Tomorrow in the evening will take place on the plaza known as the city hall, a big democratic meeting with the object of ratffying the nomination made by the national convention at Philadelphia electing candidates to the presidency the Hon. w. J. Bryan; for the vice. presidency the Hon. A. Stevenson. Big arrangements have been made by the committee for the ratification of said nomination."
 The handbills of the promoters say it is the Kansas City convention, so it appears there are to be two ratification meetings at the same time and place in which event lively time may be ex- pected.
 At the Kansas City ratification there will be considerable oratory, the prin- cipal perpetrators of which are Col. J. F. Wilson. T. F.. Parish. G. P. Bullard Frank Cox and Henry Willis. No pro- gramme of the Philadelphia perform ance has been announced. Both dis turbances will begin at o'clock. It is hoped tha.l the plaza will be wet down like it was at the time of the republican ratification meeting.
