Suspicion Aroused.

The proud boast of the Missouri
Democracy of honest and economic
government is no longer taken
with confidence by the people.
Since they have seen a magnificent
school fund turned into a State
debt, and an infamous election law
put in use to maintain the party in
power, they have become suspi-
cious of the entire record of that
party, and want to see if the leaders
have been as dishonest with the
peoples money as they have been
with the rights of the voters and
the handling of a sacred fund.
They want a better certificate of
good, honest government than a
Democratic platform declaration.
As tho Democrats, by dishonest
politics and dishonest elections
have awakened the people to the
danger Of dishonest government,
they will never escape the demand
for an inspection of the books.
Either a Democratic or Q Republi-
can Legislature will have to make

The Efficacy of Prayer.

The past ten day have witnessed one Of
the greatest revival meetings at Sunlight
ever held in this community. The
meeting was peculiar one in two ways.
First. it has its beginning in the observ-
ance of the Governors proclamation for
the holding of day for prayer on Sunday
July z1st, and, second. that there was but
little preaching. The good people simply
met on the day appointed by the Governor
and prayed God to send us rain, if it be
his will. that our fields might be watered
and our stock perish not. and that the
earth might be refreshed.
We continued our prayer-meeting. and
several showers came and on Saturday
night fine rain fell. While we were thus
praying for rain we also prayed to be re-
lieved from spiritual drouth that seemed
to have befallen the community; that Sun
light might become as famous for right
eousness as it has been for sin and ungod-
illness. We worked and prayed the next
week still without ministerial aid, and ii
seemed as though God were, trying our
faith. We had said that God had sent us
rain in answer to our prayers, and pro-
claimed that the showers of spiritual bless.
ings would also come in answer to our
prayers. To give up would have meant
that our confidence in the efficacy oi
prayer had been shaken The scoffer.
we're saying that the rain would have come
anyway. and did not believe there wa:
power enough in prayer to cause an awak'
ening of the divine spirit.
We closed our stores, shop, mills. stop
ped the plows and had meetings at Il
o'clock in the morning. We prayed te
the God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob anc
of all the earth to send US the showers o
salvation. We clung to the alter of Coz
and our faith was answered. In the thirs
week of the meeting there was spiritua
awakening. Some seventy-three soul:
were added to the fold. Fathers, mother
sons and daughters were the recipients o
divine showers. Glory to God for tn
victory! The great captain of salvatio,
never lost battle. During the third weel
we had the ministerial aid of Brother Dol
Cole and that of Brother Gibson durinl
the fourth week. The latter has been do
ing the work of God for fifty years.
Sunday night last was the climax of tn
revival. One of the largest congregation
ever seen in Ramsey's Grove was present
The spirit of unity. meekness. forgiven
ness and brotherly love was there and up
on all the showers of the divine love seem
ed to fall and refresh the weary souls
Praises to God, halleluiahs and amens wer
heardon every side for the victory of faith
The good the meeting has done will las
unto eternity, for people came from ia,
and near and carried away a refreshe
spirit. We hope the spark of tie love o
Ged was kindled in every heart and tha
it may spread as FIRE in the stubble ant
reach into the surrounding communities
until all may know Him and have lifeev

for Joy oil because it had been IN
Bounced from jefferson City that
the State funding commissioners
had set aside the sum of $500, ,ON)
for further reduction of the state
debt. One would imagine from
their joyous accents that our
friends had conceived the notion
that this sum had been saved by
some great mud unusual feat OF
Democratic economy, and that it
was like finding 50 much money
for debt reduction. Tho truth of
tbs matter, however, lie that the
fund commissioners have done
nothipG mora than il required Of
them under the constitution, that
is, they are applying 5000, 900
raised from taxation on account of
the state interest tax to the pur.
pose for which it was levied.
There is neither any great feat Of
economy in the matter nor occa-
sion for rejoicing. When a party
finds it necessary to make so much
noise over the performance of an
actual duty it should bo regarded
with suspicion. Is the amount
above named ALL that the COM
missioners find has been realized in
the interest tax fund since the last
reduction on the state debt was
made? In the past thirty year s
the party in power has collected
three dollars for the reduction of
the state debt for every dollar that
the debt has been reduced. If the
same kind of financiering is still
going on at Jefferson City instead
of applying merely $500, 900 to the
debt there should have been three
times as much on hand for the pur-
pose.

essary in Missouri to put the Dem
ocratic label at the head of the
ticket and raise the old automatic
yell. and the voters referred to
tumble over each other blindly to
perform the work cut out by the

joice when the elections are stolen
in the large cities by partisan state
boards, and even look upon finan-
cial discrepancies as proof of party
smartness.
This element, ilnpenetrable to
argument, contemptuous of con-
sideration of right, bitter with old
political spites and ready to sacrl-
fee anything for a majority, real
Or fictitious, is the regular army
upon which the ringsters mainly
depend, and on which they rely
for future control and continued
immunity. A Democrat of this
kind will turn away from IL clenr
demonstration of financial dis
crepancy and accept cheap squib
abott some pointless detail AS a
satisfactory answer. But, again,
there are Democrats who are not
content with crooked government,
mysterious holes in the auditors

The Democratic ringsters in this
state claim that their financial man
