Going Down.

The sixIf5eaat fact in Missouri
politics at present is that tie Dem
ocratic party of the state has en-
tered upon a decline. Republicans
may not have attached to this fact
the importance it deserves. 1t is
filed with significance. A party
reverse may not b eloquent Of par
ty decline nor may a party victory
BE eloquent Of party growth. Those
who understand the ebb and flow
of political tides pay but little at
tention to majorities and plurali-
ties as a means of ascertaining
whether a political party is rising
or falling in popular regard. They
know that it is possible for party
to poll a majority at a given elec-
tion, and still show the palpable
evidences of a decline in official
returns. That is just what hap
pened in Missouri last year, for
which the Democrats through
fraud and manipulation of the re.
turns in St. Louis. showed an ap-
parent majority ON the face of the
retutns, the same returns disclos-
ed the ominus fact that their total
vote in the state had fallen of more
than 10000.
On the other hand, while the
Republicans have failed 10 carry
the state they showed a large in
crease over their last previous vote
at a general election, and a very
large increase over the returns of
any previous election. Consult the
Missouri election returns for a gen.
Grafton and it is impossible to fiad
any evidenee Of 4 decline in the
voting strength of the Republican
party in the state. The party has
made continual gains, but so long
as the Democratic party made
gains also, there was no signs of q
political revolution. Last year,
for the first time, the Democrats
showed q decline against the Re-
publican gains, which was not only
maintained, but increased over the
percentages Of previous years.
Political students know the
meaning of such figures. The
first evidences of tho decline of q
party, in a state or o country, are
followed by more evidences Of de-
cay. Unless the Missouri Demo.
Gratis can defy fate, or the Missouri
Republicans are unequal to the op
portunity which has come to them
history will repeat itself here.-

Democratic Methods In Missouri.

Democratic Methods In Missouri.
Instead of cutting down expen-
ses, economizing in the admins
tration of the public affairs, and
adjusting salaries and expenses to
a legitimate tax income, the Dem
ocrats of Missouri have squandered
the money Of the people, in both
state and county expenditures; and
have turned to every possible
source to raise additional revenue.
Fearing to increase direct taxes
and meet the condemnation Of
farmers and property holders at
the polls, they have laid the bur
den of 4 large deficiency on one
class of citizens, and have sought
to seize from the liquor interests
what they were afraid to squeeze
from the taxpayers. Laying oil
of the burden on ono interest, they
haye tried to fool al others in the
boast that taxes are low. This
policy of deception and imposition
is in line with the desperate and
dishonest practices of the party in
Juggling the figures of the public
dsbt, and describing 4 liability q
an asset. The Republicans may
turn on the light now, and show
up the queer things which haye
l,een hidden in the Democratic
c,ruer.-POlitical Review.

Shortly after noon today about 20
feet of the north wall of the Hall Lith-

story building for Warren NJ. Crosby.
The excavations were made lower
than the foundation of the Hall build
ing, and the enormous weight Of sew

in the corner of the building caused
the sand to slip and the wall crumbled
away. The wall is cracked for at least
fifty feet more, and may fall No one

MORE CONCESSIONS.
Ice Trust Establishes Stations
For Sale of NeedFul.

The latest concession of the ice trust
is the announcement of the establish
ment of sub-stations over the city
where people may go to buy ice This
is in line with the demands being made
upon the ice company for better and
more liberal service to its patrons here
and more especially to the poorer class
es of people who were under the old
system Of conducting the ice business
almost excluded from using the COM
modify which is during these hot days
really a necessity.
The ice will be retailed to buyers in
any quantity at the rate of so cents per
hundred Those who are using coupon
books may also buy ice at the distrib
uting points if they choose.
We determined to adopt this
plan," said Mr.. Dickey of the Peoples
Ice company. simply because we want
to take care of the entire trade here.
We realize that the poor people want
ice and have adopted this plan to fur
nish it to them. You understand that
we dislike to retail to transient trade
from our wagons for the simple reason
that each driver has his territory and
If he is delayed in selling ice to tran
silent trade, the regular customers are

one Of our wagons stood on one corner
ice in small quantities
by establishing the distributing
points. we afford a plan whereby those
who want to buy a small piece of ice
may go and get it conveniently without
having to wait until the wagon makes
its appearance and at the same time
may supply our wagons from these
points.
We believe that this win be a very
satisfactory arrangement both to the
consumer and ourselves during this
spell of hot weather when we are being
taxed to the capacity almost in supply
ing ice We are distributing 25 tons peJ
day more ice than we did several weeks
ago"
