The Ironton Register denounces
the Ohio platform as ''as dirty a
piece of work-looking at it from
the standpoint of principle-as was
ever put together by scheming
bosses" Still the ticket which has
been nominated on that platform
has the endorsement of Mr.. Bryan.
We thus see the ''peerless" leader
of Democrats advocatingmen rath-
en- than the principles he is suppos-
ed to hold sacred above all things.
To US, who view the matter from a
disinterested standpoint, it seems
that even Mr.. Bryan has been Sc
duced by the idea that party sue
cess should be of paramount i'm
portance. The Register, in its
stern adherence to principle, should
also impale Mr.. Bryan upon its
editorial lance, and thus show its
consistency all round.

The "6oo.6oo" Wink.

The harmony of the democratic
party in Missouri is the subject of
common remark nowadays. 1t is
the old story of a certain class
falling out among themselves over
the division of their ill-gotten
spoils. The democracy of Benton
and his kind which adorned the
history of our state in the past
with illustrious story and great
deeds, has fallen to that of Scum
Shoe,'' ''cgg~sucking," ''goo-goo-
winker" statesmen of the Stone
and Dockery variety, which exists
but to reap the spoils of Office. To
the conservative democrat in Mis-
souri, that is becoming more and
more apparant. Murmurings and
threatenings are heard from more
quarters than one, and genuine
alarm is now being felt by the JEFF
ferson City machine. The follow
ing from the Brunswicker, a stall
wart democratic paper, published
at Brunswick, Mo-, furnishes a
fair sample of the sentiment which
prevails in many places. 1t says:
''The Brunswicker is democratic
if anything. 1t wants to see demo-
Gratis placed in Office. 1t wants to
see the democratic ticket elected in
1902, but unless there is change
in the sentiment of the people be-
fore next election in the state of
Missouri, the party is gone to
thunder, and that great goo-goo
winker will be responsible largely
for the defeat"
1t is the sound of the coming of
Blucher and fortells a Waterloo
for the old democrat machine in
Missouri.-Milan Republican.

1875 and 1898 the amount Of money
received for the payment of inter-
est and the reduction of the state
debt aggregates S35, ,941,131. This
sum includes the 81, 800, ,Ooos taken
from the school fund. The state
debt when the Republican party
was retired from. power amounted
to go, 1885, ,90s. At the present
time over six million dollars of
that debt, including the school
fund certificates of Indebtedness,
remains unpaid. An easy sum in
arithmetic will show that there is
a large discrepancy between the
amount received and, tie amount
paid; too large, altogether, to
have been absorbed in the pay
ment Of interest charges on the
principal. The Governor in his
letter also denies that any moneys
of the state have been improperly
diverted from one fund to another.
Here he conflicts with ex. Governor
Stephens, who has stated that
when he was treasurer of the state
it was necessary, on account of de-
fcits in certain funds, to divert
the moneys of other funds TO make
good the shortage. Stephens says
that not only was done while he
was treasurer, but that several of
his predecessors had to follow a
similar course. The state consti-
tuition also confronts Mr.. Dockery
on this point, since it clearly pro-
vides that the state school funds
shall be used for none other than
school purposes, and must be in
vested either in government or
state bonds. We do not believe
that the offer to have the books ex-
amined is entirely honest. During
a recent session of the Legislature
a proposition was made to have the
books thoroughly investigated, but
the proposal was voted down by
the Democrats by a straight party
vote. If the Democratic party
has been faithful to the people in
handling their money there should
be no hesitancy in producing the
figures to prove the truth of it.

Tragedy in Wayne County.

Last Friday at about 1890 a.
m. VIM. Boyer shot and killed
Charles Abrams, at r. Tindalps
mill, on Brushy Greek, says the
Piedmont Banner. The general
mlression seems to be that Boyer
was infatuated with Abrams wife
and a GOODNESS had sprung up be-
tween the men on this account.
Boyer is said to have threatened
the life of Abrams on several oc-
casions and tried to get up quar-
rel with him. On Friday MORN
ing Boyer came into the mill with
a pistol sticking out of his hip
pocket, and frequently got in
Abrams way, who was attending
to his work in the mill. Finally
Abrams ordered Boyer out of the
way, saying at the same, time eff
you don't stay away from here
with that revolver I'll take it away
from you,'' or something to that
effect. Boyer made some motion
towards his revolver and Abrams
picked up ia small stick, when
Boyer retreated some Is feet and
stood there. Abrams dropped his
stick and turned around to his
work, when Boyer drew his revol-
yer, pointed at Abrams and pulled
the trigger, but the weapon failed
to fire. The click drew the atten-
ton of Abrams and he turned partly
around to look at Boyer and as he
did so Boyer fred, the ball enter
ing one side passing through the
body at an upward angle and pass
ing out on the opposite side. Alb
rams stepped down from the car
riage walked out of the mill and
started to his home some 200 yards
distant, out before he got very far
fell, and was carried home, where
be died within 80 minutes after be-
ing shot. Boyer concluded that
he might as we'll escape and at
tempted to do so, but James Leecb
drew down on him with a Winches-
ter and told him that he could
either surrender or die, and as he
didn't want to die he surrendered.
Boyer is barely 81 years of age,
while the man he killed was about
23.

The tendency of the Democrats,
Bryanites and reorganizers, seems
to be to get back upon the old bat
tle-ground of the tariff issue.
There is nothing surprising in this;
in fact, the course seems the most
natural one to adopt. The only
success it has known in forty years
has come to the Democratic patry
when it fought its opponents on
the thrift issue, from which it only
receded after it had struck a blow
at the protected industries of the
country and laid them PROSTATE
for a period of several years. Our
Democratic friends evidently te-
lieve that we have again progressed
far enough under another period
of prosperity-due to Republican
tariff laws-that the people have
forgotten what they suffered from
the last effort of the tariff reform
ers and become careless of their
good fortune. 1t is not proposed
to make clean-cut free trade
fight; the assault upon tariff wall is
to made from behind the shield of
opposition to the trusts, but the
meaning of the issue is the same.
The American people must, indeed,
he of short memory and forgiving
spirit if they can soon forget the
troublous times of 1893-97.

took exceptions to the testimony OF

his objections by firing a shot at
the witness. The result was that
the prisoner soon had the court
room all to himself, Judge, con-

having departed in tumult. Duty
soon realized the ludicrous serious
ness of the scene, and invited the
court and others to come back,
passing his revolver to constable.
The witness then resumed his testi-

favorable to Duty than at first.
