ments to Missouri's chief executive,

respective of party, would rejoice at
such a consummation. OF course
our talented, bold, aggressive and
patriotic governor would make a
good president, a most excellent
president for this great union of
states. Nor is Missouri confined to
one man alone competent and we'll
qualified TO fill that high station.
Among her gifted sons there are
many that are available, but none
more SO that he who is mentioned.
His sixteen years training ia the
national congress. the greater part
of which time he stood as bulwark
against republican extravaganza and
at all times represented the conser-
vative element that contended for
economy in public expenditures, his
advocacy of expansion, but not in
the sense of aggressive and forcible
acquisition of foreign territory; but

rine, that our people may enjoy
the trade of the whole world, with a
navy strong enough to protect our
rights and make the stars and stripes
by all nations, peculiarly
fit him for that Office. There need be
no fear of foreign complications with

arose to insist upon an increase of
price of at least 20 per cent. The

of life. They will demand more
wages before long. and We should
prepare for that demand.

ed and we intend to maintain toward
that island the regulation of guar
dian to a ward. Cuba cannot enter
into any agreement with any ma
ton on the globe without the con.
sent of the United States. To make
sure of our control in this respect, and
also to facilitate the discharge of our
duty in the possible contingency oil
domestic strife, we hold on to naval
stations on the island. In brief, we
are responsible to all nations for this
ward of the great republic. This fact
ought not be overlooked in arranging

Catarrh has become such n common

a simple inflammation of the nose and

very dangerous disease; if not at first, Il
very soon becomes so.
