their future home in St. Louis county.
The writer wishes them a long and
successful life. G..

THE Eldorado (Kansas) Republican.
heretofore a devoted follower of and
believer in Marcus who last year said,
There are no trusts" seems to have
latterly seen a great light. Harken
unto it:
When the cold wave comes-aud it
will come; when the financial distress
hits every business nan in the land
and it will hit; when the seven lean
kline are turned loose-and they will
be turned-all the blooming idiots who
have blown their millions and billions
into these balloon trusts will be ami
hilated as quickly as a doll paper house
in a Texas tornado; while the distress
to be brought upon the country will
cause-if not a revolutions, something
very nearly approaching one. Judg-
ment day will come to all these billion
dollar hot-air schemes, and it will
come with a force and power that will
shake the financial world from end to
end; and the fortunes that will be
swallowed up will be counted by the
billions. We have seen panics before,
but all of them combined will not be a
patching compared to the n hat is
bound to follow this criminal imitation
of everything On the earth; and it will
call out all the cold storage patriotism
in the country to save it from destruc-
ton.

WE condemn selfishness; we de-
nounce hardness of heart, and depre-
cate the cruel Indifference which iso-
lates men one from the other. Yet,
otherwise, this would an hundred-fold
the world of sorrow all men know.
Not a ray of the happy sunlight could
penetrate its shroud of eternal, yer
increasing darkness. Where lgno-
rance is not, forgetfulness often is the
nearest approach to bliss; but forget
fulness is unknown to acute suffering.
So it is we'll enough that we travel
along the uncertain way Of life with
our ears deadened to the walls of our
fellow-man and our hearts untouched
by his sufferings. We speak of our
relation to the broad world; not Of
that nearer tie which bounds in COM
mon feeling its integral fractions. But
even here forgetfulness soon soothes
all except the acutest hurts, and we
trudge along toward the happiness to-
morrow has in store-facing the bright
rainbow, u backs to the sombre
clouds. We voice in our hearts the
cry of the Burgundian man-at-arms:

JEFFERSON CITY Press: 1.-The Mis-
souri, Supreme Court has landed a
Knockout blow to the mortgage tax
amendment in declaring it unconstitu-
tional. In rendering the opinion the
court held that Secretary of State
Lesueur had complied with the law in
advertising the submission, and that
the other amendments thus passed at
the last fall election were not rendered
void. The taxing of mortgages was
held to be unconstitutional because it
opposed the 14th amendment to the
constitution, which gives all men equal
rights. Had not railroads and quasi
public corporations been exempted,
the amendment might have been de-
clared valid. At any rate the disputed
question which has been so prolific of
opinions from members o. the bar all
over the State of Missouri is now set
tied, and the county assessors seem to
have the greatest kick coming"

How the big city papers make the
most of opportunity! There was D
fsir-sized flood in one of the valleys of
West Virginia Sunday night, and con
siderable damage resulted, and ten
lives were lost-or are supposed to
have been lost. So moderate a calam-
ity, however, vas hardly worth the
chronicling, and behold! Mondays
papers had swelled the flood in the
narrow valley to a Noah's deluge with
thousands of watery graves to attest the
extent of the catastrophe. The coun-
try press, lacking long news facilities
and ministering to readers who know
something whereof they read, are
''cribbed, cabbin'd and confined" to a
semblance of respect for the truth.
And mayhap they are not up-to-date.

after convening this morning by the an
nouncement of the sudden death of
Judge jeremiah Wilson, senior counsel
for Admiral Schley. The announce
ment was made to the court by Isadore
Raynor, assistant counsel, in the fol-
lowing language:
Il have a very sad announcement to
make to the court. I have just heard
of the death of Judge Wilson. 1 left
him at 10 O'Clock this morning slightly
fndisposed. I was with him until late
last night I saw him this morning at
s o'clock and left him at 10. We have
confirmed the rumor through the tele-
phone that he has just died at the
Shoreharn hotel and 1 would respectful
" ask the court if it meets with the
approval of the court to adjourn for
today"
Admiral Dewey said:
I have to announce that owing to
the death of Judge Wilson of counsel,
the court will adjourn for today until
tomorrow morning"
Mr.. Raynor said that so far as he
could now see the counsel for Admiral
Schley would be able to proceed to-
morrow, but he added there would be
a desire to attend the funeral when it
occurred Admiral Dewey and Captain
1emley agreed that this detail could be
arranged later.
The announcement of Judge Wilson's
death created CONSERVATION not only
among the members of the court, but
among the spectators and some min
utes elapsed before people generally
would accept the report. The judge
had been present in the court all day
yesterday and while he had not partici-
pated to any great extent in the pro-
ceedings he had appeared physically
active, and wide awake to all that was
said and done.
