Dingley Smashed.

The smash of the Dingley
woollen mills would be consid-
cred queer under any circum-
stances but the ones under
whice the failure occurred The
mills had all the protection
that was asked for and the
people were paying the freight
and money was made hand over
first until it took a large gov.
ernment contract. The con-
tract and prices was OK but
the goods (blankets) were as
rotten as Algers "emba lined"
beef therefore some one more
honest than a good partisan aud

that is what "busted" a con.

A Result Of Good Roads.

From the Mexico Mo. Intelligencer.
The merchants of Mexico are
now appreciating what good
roads will do for them. One of
them said to the Intelligencer
this afternoon: 1--WE have en-.
joyed the biggest trade this
season of any winter since we
have been in business and it is
due to the good roads. 1t has
been demonstrated that good
roads ma Ike good business. -
The DEMOCRAT, merchants,
and farmers of this vicinity
have been working for good
roads and building good roads
for the past five years. Any
thing that will enable the farm
er TO bring his stock and pro-
duce to market when the prices
suit him means that he is direct
" money ahead and the mer-
chant is indirectly money to
the good. Then there is another
phrase of the question. Good
roads makes farm lands more
salable and enhance their
value.

There has been hot time on

scholars were dismissed, he was
severity chastised by the teach

him to revoke the teachers GER

Vanity the Greatest Danger.

To the Editor OF the Post Dispatch.
To your questions you have
published replies as to dangers
of the twentieth century from
oracl IS in theology, politics, lit.
erature, art, ethics, romance
and science but 1 fail to read a
reply from any of the great ora
cles of philosophy, like Spencer
or the disciples Of Voltaire,
Paine, Hugo and Tyndall. Per.
haps this lapse is owing to the
fact that most of the prominent
lights in logic expired with the
last century. Emerson, Darwin
Carlyle, Leewes, Hugo-these
might blaze the new highways
of the incoming times to some
effect were their lips not sealed
in death. But they yet speak
in their printed words.
What would the great Hugo
say to Christianized England
butchering the Dutch farmers
in Africa in the frenzled chase
after the glitter of gold and
diamonds? Christian England,
with Christian America looking
on complacently, butchering
Christian Dutchmen, inspired
by a frantic lust for gold and
jewels-what a picture! And
the mocking Voltaire, would
he Aot ask: lis this a specta-
Gle of the sweet brotherhood of
mankind enjoined by the young
man of Nazareth?" Christian
Spain murdered a million Azte cs
what for? That princes
might strut in glitter, with
their millions of stolen gold. Is
England a whit more decent
than Spain, in the murder OF
the Dutch, that princes ol
Britain with American wives
may again stlut in glitter, to
the envy of fools; through this
twentieth century?
That serpent of vanity, whose
infinity of length and inca!cula,
BILE fecuudity coils throughout
a great na tion, enthralling re
ligion and politics into its serv
ice to satiate it's enormous greed
what will the new century dc
to overcome it?
What else, except vanity fires
the blood of a million Tommy
| Atkinses to kill Christian
Dutchmen for a shilling a day
Were Jesus the teacher of hu
man brotherhood, on earth nov
what would he say of the pres
ent bloody parade of nations un
der the banner OF God anc
IChrist? j. w. EvARTS.

NO. Al
Foley.

Rev. w. II. Foley departed
this life on Saturday Jan. 18th,
1901 at 7:22 p m. His death
had been almost daily expected
for some weeks, as he was
sufferer from consumption; yet
when it came, although calm
and peaceful, it was a blow
hard to be borne by his loved
ones and friends. AS he lived
so he died. His life was as
gentle as the flowing of a
stream. His death like the
gliding of the waters of river
into calm bosom of the tran.
quill lake. He was ever fear
less in the cause of right.
faithful to his church, earnest
in his plea with man and loving
in the discharge of duty.
1t is needless to eulogize the
life of one whose works are be-
fore us. These speak louder
than words and put the efforts
of pen to shame.
ITO live in hearts we leave
behind is not to die" sang the
poet. Bro. Foley still lives.
He lives in the hearts of those
whom he has labored as pas
tor. Time can not obliterate
him from the minds and hearts
of his many warm friends.
Eternity alone, will reveal the
ever widening influence of his
life. Like the pebble. which
passing from sight when drop
ped into the water, sends a
wave to the distant shore; so
Bro. Foley having passed from
our view, has set in motion a
wave OF influence that will
reach the further shores IF
eternity.
We too soon must follow.
May our hearts be as pure and
our lives as sublime. May it
be said of US as it may be said
of Bro. Foley, ''he lives to bless
man kind"
Bro. Foley was born in Rus
sci County. KY, June 81, 1851.
He was converted at the age
thirteen. uniting with a Baptist
Church. He was ordained
Baptist preacher in 1882. since
which time he has given his
life exclusively to the ministry
lin Kentucky and Missouri. AT
the time of his death he was a
much beloved and esteemed
member OF Grace Baptist
Church of this city.
He leaves a wife and nine
children to await the summons:
Come up higher" The fami-
ly have the sympathy of their
many friends in their bereave-
ment.

conducted Monday by Rev. j.

Church in this city, The pail
bearers being six of his co work
ers in the ministry
His remains were laid away
under the auspices of the Court
of Honor of which he was a
member.

Mrs Mabel L. Conklin, of
Brooklin. N. Y. a most talent
ed, cultured and purest repre-
sentative of the purity depart
ment, of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union
will lecture at the First Baptist
Church Tuesday Jan. 22nd. AT.
ternoon to ladies and evening
to general audience. The raw
ages of vice aud the alarming
conditions that exist in the
cities and towns of our country
by reason of the growth in the
will and life of the people is a
matter of deep concerns to the
lovers of home, state and ma
ton. These lectures along that
line presented by Mrs. Couklin
will be full of valuable informa.
tion, interest and fact and in
handling this vital question it
will be done in an inoffensive
and entertaining manner. The
good people of Monroe City
should by all means give Mrs.
Conklin good hearing.
The following ought to lay in
its grave the Republican vam
pires, "cheap foreign labor and
high tariff" That party went
! before the American people and
coal miners and told them that
it was absolutely necessary to
have a prohibitive tariff on coal
to keep the cheaply produced
coal from Halifax, N. S.. st.
Johns, N. F. and st. Perre M.
l., from running the industry in
this country and bringing
the coal miners to starvation.
The Barons through their party
have brought the miners to the
verge of starvation and at the
same time placed sne value of
the tariff and a profit also in
their pocket. Now here is the
proof.
Philadelphia, Jan. 12.-
What is believed to be the
largest contract for coal ever
awarded to an American firm
by the Canadian government
was given a firm in this city.
The contract calls for delivery
by April next of 100000 tons
of Pennsylvania bituminous
product at ST. John, N. B.,
