Missouri's FlIipinos

The big Democratic majority in
the new Legislature just assembled
in Missouri sends to Agninaldo an
ardent expression of its sympathy.
Missouri Democrats have offered
their keynote for the next party

The Great Modern Newspaper.

When all that portion of the
United States west of the Missouri
and Kaw rivers was trackless
wilderness, nearly half a century
ago, the first issue of one of the
worlds greatest newspapers APP
peared. St. Louis, which was
then ii mere overgrown town on
the western frontier of civilization,
has developed into great COM
mercial metropolis, and that great
modern newsgatherer, the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, has kept
pace with the progress of its city
and section. 1t has been, from
its first issue to the present time,

If Gov. Dockery is going to re-
form Missouri's Bourbon Demo-
cracy to a point where it will
recognize the principles on which
political fairness and government
by the people are based he will
have an overwhelming and lone
some task. Missouri Bourbons
have no conception of the meaning
public rights and justice; their
simple duty, as they conceive it,
extends no farther than to protect
and promote partisan interests
through their advantage of party
power, and Gov. Dockery cannot
hope to control an nnbridled
partisanship rampant and reckless
in its efforts to sustain itself at the
public crib.

At 1t Again.

The removed lease of power Civ
en- to the Democratic party at the
late elections by people Of Mis-
souri,, has evidently inspired the
Democratic majority in the Forty
first General Assembly with the
idea that it means an endorsement
of the clerical force scandal perpe-
trated by the last Legislature, and
an equivalent to consent to- repeat
the dose at the present session.
The development of the last few
days at Jefferson City indicates
that the Democratic members of
both House and Senate will insti-
tute another raid upon the state
treasury through the appointment
of clerks. In the Senate there are
25 Democrats and g. Republicans;
the House stands 8S Democrats
and 81 Republicans. The Senate
clerical force will he 124, of which
the nine Republican members will
be allowed only one, the twenty
FIVE Democratic members appro-
priatlng the other 1913, or about
FIVE employees to each senator. The
situation in the House is almost as
bad. There the Democrats have
decided that 112 clerks and en-
ployes will he necessary, but that
the tifty-one Republican members
can get along with one clerk. Each
Democratic member, however,
is to have his own clerk. Most of
these clerks and employees draw a
salary of So. so per day, not from
the time they are appointed, but
for the whole term of seventy days,
Sundays included.
1t would appear that if one en-
ploye is sufficient to discharge the
clerical duties for the fifty-one Re
publican members two clerks ought
to be enough for the lightweight
Democratic members, thus leaving
a useless superfuity of eighty six
appointees, whose only task will
be to draw an aggregate Of S301
each day from the state treasury.
A raid that will net them $21. .O0O
for the session.

BUTLER HAS LEFT
ARMY OF BRITAIN
Indiscreet Speech Of General lr.
mediate Cause Of His
Dismissal.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-The War Office
announces that after a consideration of
all the circumstances of General Bull
ler's speech of October 10 and the ex-
plantations thereof furnished by General
Butler. he has been relieved of his COM
mand and placed on half pay. The King
has approved the appointment Of Gen
eral French to succeed Butler as COM
mander of the First Army Corps, the
appointment to become effective when
French'S services are no longer required
in South Africa. Pending his return,
General Hildyard Will assume com
mand.
General Buffers supercession was not
unexpected, but the manner of it has
caused a sensation. 1t is understood
that the Government endeavored 10
break the fall by giving him the option
of resigning, but that Butler declined
to give way. The morning papers all
express sympathy for the unfortunate
ending of a brilliant career. but they
are unanimous that no other course was
open after his indiscreet speech, and
they express the greatest approval of
the selection of General French to sue
coed him.
The Daily Chronicle and the Daily
News attack the Government for weak
ness and lack of courage in ever APP
pointing General Butler to the command
of army corps.
The Times, confirming the report that
General Blller preferred dismissal to
resignation, expresses establishment at
his :'amazing defects of Judgment and
sense of military discipline and says
{ it hopes the change is the beginning of
an era of real army reform.

Some Varieties of Stock Feed
Grasses Planted TO Supply
Heavy Demands,

In the corner of the Capitol grounds
at the junction of Hotel and Likelike
streets, which has long been unused and
neglected, except for depositing rub
bish and collecting dirt heaps, the Com
missioner of Agriculture has begun the
propagation OF various kinds of forage
grasses for stock feed, vines and plants,
which are to form reserve depot to the
Government nursery for supplies of this
character. Since the Rapid Transit
cars have been running on Hotel street
and have made it as important a thor
oughfare as many of the larger streets,
the unused corner has also become an
important part of the Capitol grounds,
and it VIII soon be transformed from a
neglected spot into one teeming with
sturdy grasses; the dirt heaps will be
levelled, the refuse carted away, and
the old bungalow used by the National
Guard viii soon be covered over with
vines.
Commissioner TIA ylor is now expert
menting with Buffalo. Guinea. blue and
panicum grasses. Four cen beds each
twenty feet long and six feet wide have
been made and tire number will soon
be increased to twenty-five. The beds
will be made the depot for supplying
these varieties of grass instead of send
ing to the other islands for them as
heretofore. The grass spreads very
rapidly and only a few roots are neces-
sary for a person to start large area
of it on his premises. These are all
forage grasses, intended as feed for
horses and cattle. He will also put in
the Kentucky, or blue grass, intended
for lawns Palms have been set in,
musk and water melons are growing,
and in a short time the appearance of
the corner will be much altered. The
vines of the melons have been attacked
by insects and are not thriving as they
should, but an experiment is being
made with a straw covering.
Alfalfa, wheat, sorghum, red and
Japan clover, jute, Egyptian cotton. dry
land rice. white lupin, velvet beans and
a few more specimens will also be
planted for experimental purposes.
These enrich the soil and the expert
the entire proposition is in the nature
of an experiment.
A station has also been started in
Nuuanu valley about three-quarters Of
a mile below the Pail, near the for
ester's residence. The laborers are en-
gagged in putting in trees on the left
side Of the road, two men doing nothing
but clear the ground of weeds and grass
that their growth may not be retarded.
For rainy seasons a house has been
provided in which the men will work
on the seeds and shoots. Thousands OF
forest trees are being propagated, and
new varieties are about to make their
appearance. These are the poplar elm.
hickory, pecan, catalpa, acacia, or for
eign koa. The latter is very much like
the native koa, but is not so susceptt-
BILE to the attacks of insects.
The Commissioner has sent away for
twenty-five bushels of cow peas, a
splendid food for stock. He sent to
North Carolina, practically the home OF
the COW pea. He is also trying to get
