1t may be true that the Nesbit
election law is 95 per cent like the
law it repealed and 5 per cent i'm
provement over it, as the Demo-
Gratis are asserting in the case, but
what avails it, no matter how hon
est and fair an election law may be,
when one party Is given entire con-
troll Of the elections under the pro-
lection of a partisan police force,
which stands by and sees to it that
all sorts of Democratic frauds are
permitted, while protesting Re
publicans are assaulted and thrown
out of the polling places by Demo-
cratic thugs. No one ever heard
that the Nesbit law protected Re-
publican voters at the polls, it was
shaped solely to give the Demo
Gratis an advantage.

The statement printed in our
last issue to the effect that under
the amended road law the district
road commissioners would be al
lowed salary, was erroneous.
We were lead into the mistake by
seeing it in other papers. The
new law makes no such provision,
but, on the other hand, it aboIisbes
the district board of commission
ers altogether, and reinstitutes the
old road overseer system. The
county is divided up into load dis
tricts which will comprise the same
territory as the present school dis
tricts. The overseers will here
after be elected at the annual
school meetings by the resident
taxpayers. The overseers shall
receive for each day he may be
actually employed in the work Or
business of overseeing, the sum of
$3.50 per day. The county courts
are authorized to fill by appoint
ment any vacancy that may occur
in overseerships.

alright, but Dave does not seem

BRYAN NOT RECONILED.

W. j. Bryan is not yet able to
reconcile himself to the election of
Rolla Wells as Mayor of St. Louis.
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner of last
week contains the following brief
but vigorous slap: ''The St. Louis
Chronicle is charging that Mayor
Wells was elected by fraud. This
is adding insult to injury. To run
seventeen thousand votes behind the
national ticket, and then owe his
election to Republican votes, is bad
enough, without having a suspicion
cast on his title. The election of
MIR. Wells in St. Lous has served
at least one useful purpose. 1t has
brought out the fact that the great
daiIies which bolted the Democratic
national ticket in 1896 and 1900
are unanimous in the opinion that
it is an objectionable to oppose the
election of candidate M Il mum.
cipal ticket especially when that
candidate refuses to accept the
principles of the party which NOM
mated him."

WE BUY FARM PRODUCE.

The importations Of foreign ag-
ricuItural products into the United
States in 1900 exceeded the grain
exports, including wheat -four by
S17O,00O,0 During the year
ending June 80, 1900 the total
value of the principal agricultural
products imported was 1920, $780,
2S6. For the same period the ex-
ports of cotton and cereals were
valued at S4s3, ,OOO,OOO The total
value of all of our agricultural
products was $S44,6l6, $50. Thus
it appears that the American peo-
pie buy half as much farm products
as they sell, a fact which will sur
prise most readers.

Good Politics and Good Business.

A striking illustration Of the tie
between sound government policies
and business prosperity is found,
for one example, in the improved
condition Of railway property~in
this country. A majority of the
great army of railroad men stood
up for the gold standard and are
reaping the reward by a remark
able expansion in their business.
In fact, the advance in the value
of railroad property, with full en-
ployment for all connected with the
interest. has gone far heyond the
most confident expectations. 1t is
needless to refer to- the state of
affairs during the last Democratic
administration. Those were dark

fresh in the mind to need descrip-
ton. The quarterly interest and
dividend disbursement for the

was S62, $50, 900, which is $l1 ,OOO,-
900 more than such payments in

In the April of 1894, year of
general depression, the par value
of stocks paying dividends was
S579, 200, 900 and the amount paid
was S11, 100000. In the present

time bonds paying interest have
increased from $69S. 600, 900 to ST.

dividends are $63, ,62S, 600, against
$50, 500, 900, or over 100 per cent
more. So the railroads, by virtue
of the gold standard. have more
than doubled the productive value
of their securities in gold. What
would have been the result Of a
silver dispersion can only he guess
ed. The facts as they stand are a
sufficient vindication Of good poll

Winter in Reality.

The snow storm which held full
SWAY here from Tuesday morning un-
til Wednesday night, with North
east gale blowing continually, was the
severest storm that we experienced in
this section this winter. The snow
was piled SO high that travelling was
at disadvantage, and business was
at q stand-still. BY the way this
month is progressing, it looks as if
all the storms of the winter had wait
ed to come this month.
1t was a good stroke Of luck for the
ground hog that he returned to his
hole in time, for had be waited until
now he would hardly have been able
to find his way back. No damage has
been reported in this section 80 far,
and we can think ourselves lucky, as
the damage done by the storms this
month throughout the Southern part
of the state, will amount up to con-
siderable. If predictions prove true,
we will receive few more storms be-
fore this month is ended.
