Tearing down notices put up by
order of the health board is just the
spirit which impels anarchists, and
those who advocate or justify such
methods are defying the law made
for their protection. It's especially
unseemly for an officer charged
with the duty of seeing that the law
is obeyed to encourage such viola
tions.

Hard on Negroes.

The board of safety of this
city Evansville, Ind has or
dered the police to arrest all
strange negroes and bring them
before the city police Judge. If
they cannot give any reason for
being here, they will be sen.
fenced to the rock pile. The
object of this order is to rid the
town of an obnoxious class of
negroes. 1t is estimated that
there are 1000 in this city who
absolutely refuse to work. They
spend their time in the saloons
and low dives of the city.
The board of safety was
prompted to this step by the
action of the Spencer county
grand jury in indicting 139 ne.
groes of Rockport for selling
their votes on last election day.
After all is said and done. it
seems as though the negro on
his heath in the Southland is
better off than in 4 Northern
state. AS long as he is peace
able and honest, his liberty, his
going and coming in the South
is respected.

Religious Liberty.

religious organization known
as the Know Nothings, was or.
gauized in the U. S. A.. but
died abornin'. Most of it's mem.

being connected with it. Some
ten years ago the A. P. AS fill

crets. According to the Kan
sas City Times they have brok-
en- out in fresh place and be-
come aggressive again. Their
sole object is a selfish one, e,
to control public offices. Fol

Palnyra's Fix.

In casting about for the cause
OF Palmyra's backward pro
gress in the last 10 years we
are forced regretfuIIy to the
conclusion that ii is the woeful
lack of capable business men
among our population that has
retarded our progress. The
few capable men among us
have worked hard, but We can
not be expected to accomplish
miracles. Already some of US
are holding four or five offices
aud in all reason We cannot be
asked to do more. PALMYRA

Murder In First Degree.

The jury in the case of Mrs.
Alice Nesenhener, charged with
poisoning her husband, Frank
Nesenheuer, in Hannibal found
the defendant guilty of murder
in the first degree. But the
verdict like many others that
destroy the force of the law and
cause mob law, was accompani-
ed by a petition for mercy.
Evidently it is the intention to
have their verdict (premediated
murder) changed to a lite i'm,
prisonment which very frequent
ly means pardon sooner or
later.

Congressional Looting.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t is a fresh case of astouish.
ment every two years to OBJ
serve the patience with which
the American people, having
elected a new congress, allow
the old congress to come to.
gether and loot the treasury.
That is what happens periodi-
caliy and what is going on just
now.
The Republican majority did
not dare to do before the cleo
tion what they are now doing
unblushingly. They then pre-.
tended to be economical; they
have cast away every such pre-
tense. They made no appropri-
ations for harbor improvements
at the last session; they are now
proposing appropriations of
over eighty millions. They
avoided committing themselves
to ship subsidies; they have
since made this party meas.
ure. They talked of reducing
taxation; they will be COMPEL.
ed to add new taxes or accept a
deficit. All the jobs that were
held back before the election
are now to be put through.
If the ruling majority were
directly answerable TO their
constituents they would not
venture upon this reckless
course. But some of them have
already been re elected and feel
secure for two years more, and
the others have been defeated
and have nothing to fear. Thus
the expiring congress is under
no restraint and it is acknowl-
edged that all records of past
extravaganza will pale before
the appropriations OF this ses-
sion.
Not many years ago the coun-
try made short work of a con-
gress that had run the expenses
of the government up to near a
billion of dollar in two years;
this congress will bring the
figures close to a billion and a
half, and the people can do
nothing but pay the bills. While
crops are large and business
booming they can stand it.
When the inevitable reaction
comes, there will be a different
story to tell.
