Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1901-04-10

We note that some of our Demo
cratic exchanges seem to regret the
capture Of Agninaldo, and are
roasting Gen. Funston for the
methods he pursued in bringing
about the capture. Aguinaldo has
already accepted the situation and
has sworn allegiance to the United
States, and is using his influence to
establish complete and perma
nent peace in the Philippines.
Some Democrats would rather see
the rebel leader still at large that
he mi ght continue to advise his de-
luded followers to keep up their
guerrilla warfare, and kill our sol
diers to furnish Democratic edi-
tors with material for political
screcds against the government.
Potosi journal. (Potosi, Mo.) 1894-1929, 1901-04-10

Our Democratic friends here in
Missouri are laying JUNCTION to
their souls in the belief that they
have disposed Of the school fund
Issue for all time by making a per-
mancnt interest hearing debt Of the
certificates of Indebtedness, which
they substituted for what was once,
under Republican rule, an actual
cash fund, on which the state re-
ceived interest, instead of paying it..
They will discover their mistake
later, probably just after the next
general election. The school
fund issue is a live one, and the
people are studying it from all
sides. The large Republican gains
made throughout the state last fall
indicate that the people are not
only thinking that the school fund
question needs investigation, but
arc voting that way. They have
satisfied themselves that an actual
cash fund has been turned into a
permanent interest-bearing debt,
and now they want to know what
the party that handled the money
did with it. This desire for infor-
nation will keep the school fund
issue alive, especially since the
people will be reminded of it every
year by the S250,O0o they will
be called upon to pay in interest
charges on the Democratic ''invest
mcnt."

The Judge Was Equal to the
Emergency.

Judge Dearing had rather novel
experience in holding court at Rolla.
Mo. last week and the week before.
says the HllI>boro Democrat, and sew
era! officials there also an experience
that was probably new to them. The
circumstances are as follows:
Two young men Of that town had
been indicted for cruelty treating and
robbing an old German farmer, and
their attorney wore out the patience
of Judge Woudside until he refused to
grant any further contir uance: and
they evened up with him by taking
the case from him on an at1fdayit that
that lie was prejudiced He thereup-
on teleg raphed Judge bearing to come
and hear the case.
When The Judge got there he found
not only the Judge deposed, but the
sheriff and his deputy, the coroner of
the county aud the jury disqualified by
atlidavits charging them with predju-
dice. Judge bearing called the case
for trial and found that in addition
to the above facts none of the wit
! nesses were present, although having
been subpoenad. They thought theyhad
Judge Dearing up Il stump fo- good,
but he showed them a trick worth
several IF theirs. lie knew but one
man in the town and tlrat was the
clerk at the hotel at which lie was
stopping, he appointed that man to
act as sheriff and had attachments
issued for all the witnesses, but some
of the witnesses lived in St. Louis
and the sheriff Of that city, on advice
OF his attorney, refused to serve at
tachments because his fees were no.
paid in advance. Judge Dearing
thereupon locked up his Phelps county
witnesses aud sent his hotel clerk to
St. Louis with attachments for the
witnesses and also for Sheriff Dickman
! and his deputy, who had refused to
serve the papers. All this consumed
time, but the hotel clerk finally got
in with his ST Louis sheriff and wit
nesses, and the court proceeded to try
one of the defendants, who was found
guilty by the jury and sentenced to
five years in the Denitentiary. Sheriff
Dickman and his deputy made apollo
gies and pleas Of ignorance and were
let of on payment of cost of attach
ment, while the witnesses were fined
and the Judge left them in Jail. Not
having time to try the other prisoner,
his case was continued.

The Independent asserts that
two-thirds of the money spent by
Congress represents SO much loot.
We would come just as near the
truth, or perhaps nearer to it, by
asserting that two-thirds of the ap-
preparations made by the Demo
cratic Legislature of Missouri is SO
much Democratic graft. One thing
is commendable in Congress which
seems to be missing in the Missouri
Legislature, and that is, that the
former body has evinced some dis
position to reduce taxes.

pertle Springs and After.

At the Pertle Springs convention
of 1895 the late Richard p. Bland,
aided by his active lieutenant,
Gov. William J. Stone, turned
down ex-Gov. David II. Francis
and the rest Of the gold faction of
Missouri Democracy, and put the
control of the party machinery of
the state in the hands of the Bland
element. At the death of Bland
the leadership of the chiefta:n's
forces dcvolved ON Stone, who has
held it ever since. Francis and the
gold men, who were thrown out
side the breastworks in 1895, have
been outside to this day.
Will the victory for Wells, of
the Francis contingent, disturb
Stones supremacy, and put Fran
els again at the front of the Demo
cracy of the statea This is one of
the questions that must soon be
settled. 1t was, as seen by some
CT the keener observers in both the
Democratic and the Republican
party, one of the questions which
was involved in the St. Louis con
test. MIR. Bryan SAW this issue
very clearly. as is shown by his
assaults ON Wells. MIR. Stone rec
ognized it, and raised no hand to
aid Wells. The inner circle of the
Missouri Democratic chieftains of
1895 1900 were hostile to Wells.
They would not have put Grape on
their hats had Parker, Meriwether
or any other candidate than Wells
been elected. They are not light
ing honfres over the Wells Fran
els victory.
The question which Wells vic
tory, therefore. brings to the
front in Missouri Democratic poll
tics is whether Francis and the
gold men will regain the control of
the party machinery which they
lost five years agoa This is mat
ter of detail which has some inter-
est for the entire country. 1t was
the Pertle Springs convention in
1895 which shaped and gave direc-
ton to the forces which impelled the
Demoes~s of the West and South
to stop the shutting and straddIine
of their party on the free coinage
issue, and to declare in 1896 in
favor of throwing the mints wide
open to silver without waiting for
the aid or consent of any OTHER
nation. If Francis and the gold
men, on tho strength Of Wells
victory, gain control Of the party
machinery here the country will
know that BANDS party in Bland
state has abandoned Bland's policy.
