The tribune. (Rich Hill, Mo.) 1900-1902, 1901-11-14

The Missouri State Republican
of Nov. Sth gives in full the State
Auditors report showing the receipts
and expenditures from January rst,
1865 to December 81, 1900, inclu-
sive, together with the governor 5
address to the people.
There are two things that espec-
tally attracted our attention in the
report and address. First, the n
tire absence of the old threadbare
charge that the state debt was foist-
ed on the people by the Republican
party. Second, the admission that
the outstanding debt Dec. 81, 1900,
was $6,aSo,S3o a., just what the
Republicans, during the last CAM
paign, said it was, and more than
$4,000 900 greater than the Demo-
cratic state platform claimed it was.
The report also shows the out
standing debt for the period begin
ming Jan. 1, 1865, (nOtice the word
ng) and ending Dec. 81, 1870,
was SS6,o9r,ooS
The addition to the debt
during this period was 1899 900
Total debt 1880, 9oS
Redemption during this
period 22,597.9oS
Outstanding debt Dec.
81, 1870, o,SSo.ooo
This period is the time covered
by the administration of Cover
nors Fletcher and McClurg, the only
Republican governors the state ever
had. We understand that the fig.
ures, $36,o9I,ooS represent the
debt at the beginning of the Repub,
lican control, and that during this
administration S7,3oz,ooo was add
ed to the debt, thus making the tota.
$43,4S6,o COS, as given above and If
the auditors report. The repor
therefore confirms what the Repub'
licans have always claimed, tina.
they paid all the debt they made
and more than $I4,ooo,o 900 of the
antl-war Democratic debt.
We want to call the attention o
THE TRIBUNE readers to these fig
ures because we have had good Re.
publicans to tell us that they havl
been led to believe that the stat'
debt was of Republican creation
We want our readers also to know
that in six years, under Republican
control, the state of Missouri reduc
ed her debt according to this Dem
ocratie auditors report, S1s,597,

Under President Cleyeland's Will
son German tariff law the Secre-
tary of the Treasury had to sell
bonds to get money into the treas
ury. Under President Mckinley
Roosevelt Dingley tariff law the
Secretary OF the Treasury has TO buy
bonds to get money out Of the treas
ury. Quite a difference, but it is
just the difference between Demo
cratic and Republican policy.

A Boston magistrate who had
before him an ex-alderman charged
with drunkenness turned to the Cen
tury Dictionary for a definition of
the term, the statutes of the Bay
State being woefully deficient on
this point This defines ''dunk''
as being overcome, stupefed Or
frenzied with liquor. The evidence
did not show that the accused was
as bad as that, and be was dis
charged. If the judge had desired
to be really explicit, he might have
quoted as an authority the late Pc
troleum V. Nasty, who once de-
fined drunkenness as that condition
of mind and body which prompted
a man when lying on the ground to
catch held Of the grass to prevent
his falling off the earth.

PHELPS, THE coLoRED HERO.

There are but few days in the passing of time in
which no new chapters are added to the agnas of
heroisnl. Probably it would be better to say that
there no days in which additions not
made; for the perfect record which is kept of hui
man action is not that which men keep of each
other but the which is not only daily but hour
ly inscribed in the secret presence of Him who
numbers the hairs of every head and who marks the
sparrows' fall
These thoughts are suggested by the story which
recites the in which William Phelps, col
ored laborer of Richmond, KY, met his death on
Sunday last.
Phelps and another colored man named James
Stansbury were engaged in the work of cleaning
out the interior of steam boiler. With careless
ness nothing short of criminal some one in the
building turned the steam The steam
scalding hot and as it came pouring into the inter-
or of the boiler both scrambled for the ladder
which led to man-hole and which was the only
means of escape from their perilous predicament.
Phelps was the first to reach the ladder, but
suddenly he stopped and told Stansbury to go first
ssYou go first Jim," shouted Phelps. ''You are
married" Stansbury sprang to the top and es-
capped with only the slightest injuries Phelps fol-
lowed as rapidly as he could, but when cnce out
side it was found that he had been fatally burned,
and death came within very short time. Among
his last words were these: sIt was inns right to 60
first. He is married."
The man who could forget self-preservation-
natures first law-and think of the safety of his
fellow man and those dependent upon him, and in
their behalf lay down his life receive too
glowing eulogy in this world His grave
never be marked by too glorious epitaph.

of this district for supreme judge His strength in
convention last year surprise to the delegates
from the east and south who had not thought the
young Judge from Greene much of factor in the
judicial contest. This year he will come to the
vention with many more friends and his chances
most favorable. The supreme bench is need
ing vigorous young and in Judge Church such
a man is found. His judicial district embracing as
it does counties in the Eleventh as we'll as Tenth
districts is most favorable to his candidacy. On
some nominations Crawford must be neutral but in
the case of supreme Judge our delegates work
with vigor for Judge Church.

OIL FOR FUEL.

The discovery and utilization of vast oil fields as
in Texas and Russia is about to bring about a
change in the material used to generate steam and
heat. The Texas oil is best adapted for fuel, and
already many railroads planning to use oil in
their engines It is clean, handy, and can be made
economical. Manufacturing plants, electric light
and water plants will also be using oil in the near
future. The heat from the oil is intense and the
amount is readily regulated. Coal is slow acting
even with blower, but oil will generate heat in
stanty on being ignited, With oil there no
sparks tc set fire to the dry grass, cinders and
dense smoke darkening the air. Its use will solve
the smoke problem in large cities. Men looking
for cheap fuel will be on the lookout to utilize oil
wherever it is practicable

If Denison wishes to celebrate the Fourth of
July it is high time something were being done to-
ward that end. There is only about months time
in which to perfect arrangements and the celebra-
ton should be grand one big Fourth of July
celebration cannot be gotten up in day; it takes
weeks. Committees are to be appointed, attrac-.
tons to be looked after. speakers secured, and
altogether it's big job A meeting should be
called by the mayor and everybody attend and talk
the matter over. Denison to the surrounding
country celebration such as has not been heard of
in many year. With her increased railroad facil-
tiles, her beautiful park purest water and above
all, her most liberal business men, Denison can
we'll afford to celebrate.

AS the story goes there at one time man
who had formed the drink habit to such an extent
that he lost all control over his appetite and was
under the influence of liquor at all times About
this time someone came forward and started an in
stitute for the cure Of drunkards. Citizens immed-
irtey took steps to raise money to send this poor
man, with seeming y unquenchable thirst for liquor,
to the institute. He was sent, and in short time
came home man, started working and was
making money when one day he was offered a
drink by fellow man. The one drink was
enough it revived the old thirst the appetite once
appeased was again nstilled and the man started
on the down hill road again. 1t is indeed a pity
ing sight to see man we'll along in years again
made the victim of an old habit. The man who
will give whisky to who has tried to stop drink
ing is htted for the lower regions he is no better
than beast and should be treated as such by his
fellow man. When you man lead another
around the corner, especially one who has tried
every way to break the habit-and give him drink
not one, but many, you feel there is nothing too
bad for him.

church, who died recently, full of years and honors
left four widows, thirty three children and
specified number of grandchildren. Some of the
papers are now applying to the patriarch Cannon
what Tennyson said of the Light Brigade:
Cannons to right of him,
Cannons to left of him,
Cannons in front of him,

THE MEMORIAL ANNIVERSARY.


Up at Mason City plans are rapidly maturing for
large group of buildings for the of the great
memorial university which IS under the patronage
of the Sons of Veterans, Grand Army organizations
and the Women's Relief Corps. The buildings
will be grounds south of that city but in the
corporate limits. Ground has been broken and ex-
cavation made for the first building and the corner
stone will be laid on June 26 with imposing cere-
monies. The Womens Relief Corns will put up
magnificent building the tribute of the noble wo-
men of the land to the great enterprise. This will
contain the library and the office rooms for the Of
hcers of the university. The proposed university
is not to be second West Point, although it will
be conducted under military discipline. A special
ty will be made of military studies, patriotism will
be extolled and the many ways it can be shown by
labor for the upbuiding of the country pointed out
The deeds of the union heroes of the late civil war
will be reviewed and the memory of the men who
fought and died for the perpetuity of the union
kept green. 1t is expected that the university will
be literally endowed by wealthy old soldiers and
their sons. The undertaking is worthy of the sup
port Of the national government. The people of
Iowa fortunate that this great national univer-
sty is located in state. The location is trib-
ute to the recognized importance of the middle
west The three patriotic societies of Denison
have taken steps to assist in its beginnings. With
men of large ideas at the head the university will
in a few years take prominent rank as an educa-
tona institution.
THE WALL STREET STOCK EXcHANGE
Wall street and the country at large has again
seen the bad result of stock gambling. The rise
of Northern Pacific stock from below par to $1,000
for 500 worth of stock, and in few hours was
phenomenal. The stock had not this real value
but was up artihcially by men who cared moth.
ing for the consequence. An attempt made
to gain control of the Northern Pacific stock, TAX
ing it away from the Morgan Hill interests. This
failed but in this the public generally took little
interest Untold agony caused by the fearful
rise. Other stocks sold at a sacrifice to gain
money to the Northern Pacific advance 1t
is estimated that fully thirty millions of dollars
were lost and gained all in few hours. The out
of town men who had hand in the stocks that day
were the great losers. The whole affair can well
be warning not to gamble in stocks. Out of town
men who have no tips are helpless in the hands of
the great manipulators.

Little bendlngs are in progress all the

dew settles in the valleys between
them, they nod to one another So like

And in London, too. where earth
