like a broomstick had been run up through

shows, where it grows to height of six
teen feet and is very fond OF onions and
carrots, though its customary food is hay,
which it eats with gusto. Oft have I

From the State Capital.

JEFFERSON CITY, Feb. 2, 1901.
The Republican members of the
House showed just how much faith they
put in the big blow made by their par
ty last fall about the looting of the
school and seminary fund. With a
single exception they voted for an act
to appropriate money to pay interest
on the certificates of Indebtedness is
sued and held in trust for the State
school and seminary funds. One Re-
publican in the Senate also staid with
the party platform and went on record
as voting mo" In view of the great
and loud declarations made by the Re-
publicans that a yawning cavity, a
zero quality existed where United
States bonds had formerly held sway
that the only asset to the credit of the
school fund was a liability-the action
of the Republicans vas significant OF
the fact that they knew they had mis-
represented facts. They didn't believe
what they had endeavored to get the
people believe. But such action is
characteristic.
A strange thing indeed for a memo
rial service in honor of royalty to .be
held in Republican America. But such
a thing actually occurred in Jefferson
City last Sunday-and there was moth
ing wrong about it either. A service
was held, at which Lieutenant Govern
4. lice aud other members of the Gen
eral Assembly spoke. in honor of Eng
lands dead Queen. The service did
not do honor to royalty however, but
memorialized Victoria as a woman, a
mother, a noble ruler. A thought of
the evenings service was that Ameri-
cas- women are all queens. Here ev-
cry wife, mother, sister and sweetheart
was somebody's queen aud on their
brows could rest crowns of grace and
beauty which could shine as brightly
as any jewel in the British crown.
We need not express sympathy for the
English in the unholy acts of that gov
ernment against the Irish, the Beers,
and in regard to the policy in India
when we did honor to Victoria, for
these dastardly deeds were the actions
of her ministers done against her ex-
press desire for universal peace.
Bills to reduce passenger and freight
rates have been introduced in both
branches. The former may pass the
House and the latter may become a
law. Still, forcasting the actions of a
legislature is like betting on a slow
mule race-mighty uncertain.
Senator Clay has introduced a bill
providing for the setting aside of $5, 900
for the erection of a monument to the
memory of that noble statesman, Thorn
as II. Benton. This State could do
nothing more fitting the memory of
the true manliness. unalloyed truth,
and unsullied reputation as a states
man of that noble Missouri son than to
erect the monument. j. H.

The contest for School Commissioner
In Stoddard county has grown beyond
the perfunctory stage, and the several
candidates are a-workin'. We clip
from the Democrat:
The following are some quotations
from a campaign letter written recent
~ by Prof. Isaac II. Hughes, candidate
for School Commissioner. to a promi
nent citizen of this place. He says:
sin my life I've been solicited to be.
come a bartender. but never did
yield" 81 was reared right" ..My
father was a minister (ocaI) for years
before his death" 81 thank God
had a devoted Christian mother"
While we don't dispute any of the
above assertions, what a be the OBJ
ject in Mr.. Hughes making any such
statements? Does he wish to convey
the idea to the pnblic mind hat his
opponent is a tippler, that he was not
reared right, or does he do it through
a fear that some such charges will be
bright out against hinP Let this be
as il may. the people will decide who
they want for School Commissioner. /:

A SPECIAL FROM Marble Hill, Mo-, to
the Republic on Tuesday of last week
asserted that Bro. Finney of the Times
had been horsewhipped by ar official
of Bollinger county. In reply to the
especial" Bro. F. has this to say:
As base a lie as was eyer belched
from the darkest recesses of hades vas
sent from here and published in the
st. Louis Republic of last Tuesday.
Sent by a man who processes to be a
Christian, but who did not repeat it in
his own organ. He'll is full of such
Christians. Suffice it to say here that
we we're unwarningly attacked from
behind by a beast with foul curses in
his speech, a pointed revolver in one
hand and a CAD in the other, just as
we were entering an Office. Twice he
assayed to strike with the CAD, which
we partially warded off. We were en-
tirely unarmed. This is enough here.
The rest will be made known in the
courts. Old ..1S0S" will be called
upon to prove her cowardly libel. If
any of the fraternity has been led
astray by the false telegram to the Re
pablo, we trust they will extend us the
benefit of a correction.
