The Lyceum Course.

The first of the Lyceum course,
the Boston Concert Company, will
be presented at the Opera House,
Wednesday, March q.
This course should have, and
think it will receive, the liberal
patronage of our people. 1t should
be patronized on its merits for
such high class entertainments as
these will be pleasant and profita-
BILE to attend. No one who enjoys
music can afford to miss the Bos-
tan Concert Co. The performance
of the famous Belgian violin solo,
list, Mr.. Walther, will furnish a
treat that Franklin will long re-
member. He is said to be a per-
feet master of the violin, probably
! the most expressive instrument
known. The accomplished vocal
ist Miss Roddy is a member of
this company and it is the testi-
mony of those who have heard
her that she never disappoints her
audience. The other members of
the Concert Co., are the pianist,
Miss Graysoe, and the reader and
impersonator, Mr.. Cyrus Brown
lee Newton. Taken together these
constitute a pleasing variety, with
each feature up to the best, SO that
the concert is worthy of liberal
patronage on its merits alone. We
have secured something that we
think will make the people feel
they have gotten their moneys
worth, when the Concert has come
and gone.
But the occasion Of this coming
to Franklin at this time, is as a
benefit for the High School. All

Lyceum course, will be devoted to

FOR PRIVATE INTERESTS.

Chairman Sheehan of the COMMITTEES
on Sanitary Affairs does not mistake
the situation when he insists that he
and his associates in the Council believe
that he best interests Of st. Louis de-
mand a short-term garbage contract. To
that end, the Council will decline the
amendment OF the House OF Delegates
calling for a seven-year contract.
Chairman Burke Of the House Com.
mittee had the amendment added simply
for the purpose of putting the city in
q worse plight than ii is In at present.
An insistence by the combine on a long
term contract means that st. Louis is
to be held up. Members who support
that amendment announce their Cpposi-
ton to a just contract.
Citizens will have another opportunity
to judge of the character of the combine
at the session this afternoon. IL the
Delegates composing that close corpora
ton feel In the slightest degree the senti-
ment Of the public, the garbage bill
will be passed without the addition of
the long-term amendi rent. If personal
interests still guide their actions, there
will open another prospect of long de-
lay. Whatever these members may do.
1t is a fact that they have done in the
past all that they could do to put the
city At the mercy of private interests.

CAUGHT IN TIL ACT.

While the Globe Democrat busies itself
preferring unyerified charges of Demo
cratic croOkedeness in the management
velOpments under the DOckery admins
tration Of M~issOuri's affairs continue
as steadily to prove the falsity OF the
Globes assertions.
This truth vas s~tr!kingly illustrated
when the State Board Of Fund Com
missioners issued Its instructions for the
calling In of State bonds to the amount
OF $3O0.OOO. this reduction of the debt
to be accomplished early in October. and
also announced that the entire bonded
Indebtedness OF the State would be e
tinguished by the end Of x year., not
w~ithstanding the fact that Missouri will
give from her revenues the sum Of ST.
100000 to the Worlds Fair. As a con-
yincing REPUTATION of the Globes
charges this showing Of Missourf's
financial integrity is not to be surpassed.
States whose finances are being
looted or ~dissipated by incapable
management cannO make such a show
ing. Such States do not pleasantly sur
prise taxpayers by an unexpectedly
ness, or by the complete extinguishment
of a bonded debt at an earlier period
than was anticipated. 1t was agreed
that Missouri's appropriation Of $1,0O0,-
600 to the Worlds Fair would Deces-
sarily retard the payment of the bonded
Indebtedness. Under wise Democratic
guidance, however, his is not the case.
The State debt win be wiped out ahead
of schedule time. Can 1t be hat the
Globe Democrat viii distort even this
achievement in its effort to fool the peO-
pie into believing that the State finances
are being looted" by democratic
crookedness?"
The truth Of the matter is. Of course,
that the Globe knows well how m
founded are fits own charges. II it were
not sure, It would gladly avail itself of
Governor Dockery's invitation to inspect
the State books. 1t would rejoice at such
an opportunity to gain credit for itself
and profit for its party by sustaining its
charges Of Democratic c~rOOkedness.
But it knows the truth OF Democratic
honesty and it knows that its charges
n be sustained. Therefore, It re-
fuses to be brought down to the facts in
the case. preferrfng to shout fraud and
c~rOokedeness and mishandling of funds,
on the slanderer's chance that its shouts
may carry conviction to the %Inthinking.
In the meantime the actual daily de-
velopments continue to convict the
Globe of bearing false witness.

JUSTIFIED.

Mayor Wells was elected on a plat
form that had for it's sole object the bet
terment Of st. Louis. With the promise
of n business administration, he as
sumed the Mayors chair amid the good
wishes of the best element Of citizen
ship.
In his efforts to fulfill the obligation,
he has found u one obstacle, the com.
bine in the House of Delegates. A
held up, a fender bill Is pigeOnholed,
the garbage contract is delayed by q
harmful amendment to the bill, and
open claims are made by the Delegates
in the combine that they are after
patronage.
1t is refreshing to note the stand that
Mayor Wells has taken on this plain is
sue. He has announced that he will
fight every attempt of the combine to
control this administration. If neces-
sary, he will bring every emplOye in
every department into harmony with the
promises made at the last city election.
IL this extreme measure must be taken
the friends of the Delegates will, OF
course, be the first and only ones to
suffer.
Mayor Wells lays no claim to being a
radical He does profess to be doing
his duty fearlessly. He is not trying to
build up a political machine. His one
purpose Is to give st. Louis the best adj
ministration it ever enjoyed. The record
OF the men in the City Council assures
the public that projects opposed to the
interests Of st. Louis will not be IA
vored in that body.
Members Of the combine, regardless
Of party, were elected on platforms that
pledged earnest support to the things
that are nov being held up in the House
of Delegates. Every member Of that
combine is fighting against the issues on
which he was elected. Mayor Wells will
be justified In taking extreme measures.

It is to be noticed that the Globe
Democrat IL In no hurry to explain how
it is that, testifying to the correctness
of the States accounts ON the one hand

ment Of State funds on the other, it yet
contends that there has been Demo

Democracy which is now made by the
