PARTY ORGANIZATION.


We take pleasure In placing be-
fore the readers Of the Review the
ably and timely speech of Norman
A Motley, of Bloomfield, Mo.
the fact that he is prominent
candidate for Supreme Court
Judge will give increased interest
in what he says. We heartily
commcnc his sbeech, delivered at
the Young Republicans banquet
In Kansas City In response to the
toast "Party Organization"
$50 far as the growth and de-
velopmcnt OF our country have de-
pended upon the application of
sound principles and expedicnt
policies to the conduct of its af-
fairs, II has drawn its strength
from the doctrines of Republican,
ism. The opposition has offered
nothing of substantial character
which has met with any degree OF
favor at the hands OF the people,
but has satisfied itself for the most
part with rcsorting to such meas
ures OF demagogcry and obstruc-
ton as blind prejudice aud un-
bridled partisanship usually die
tate.
"Party organization should, at
this time, be the theme closest
to the heart Of every loyal Re
publican In the State. Upon US
now rests the greatest responsibility
which. perhaps, will ever confront
us-that Of rcdeeming imperial
Missouri from the hands OF ring
rule, rottenncss and ruin which
have so long despoiled its Affairs.
Thorough party organization
is the means by which this great
good Is to be accomplished; II Is
the leverage by which we will lift
the ringsters who nave so long ro-
tated among the offices Of the
State from those cosy apartments
maintained by public taxation,
and set them down. Nat, where
they belong, In that shorclcss and
silent oblivion from which, when
shorn of their prestige and power,
they will never emerge.
al do not claim that the Rcpub-
lican party is perfect, but tits no
nearly so when compared with the
dominant party in the State
that you can't tell the difference.
1t Is true that our organization has
not, at all times, been what It
should have been, and 1t Is not
now what it should be. We have,
upon more occasions than one, en-
couraged or at least permitted, un-
due disscnsion and unnecessary
bitterness in the party ranks and,
at several periods in our history,
we have maintained, | think, one
or two bosses more than was ac-
tually necessary to the well-being
of the party and the proper con-
duct of its affairs. We have grown
ii is true, not on account of these
things. but in spite of them. In
the last quarter of century we
have grown from pigmy to gi-
ant. We have developed from dis.
organized and scattered bands
throughout the various counties
composing the State into n mag
nificent army of 3i4,000 loyal Re-
publican. Since 1862 we have
made a net gain of $1,000 votes,
and the most gratifying feature of
this phenominal party expansion
Is that we are all the time getting
closer together; we have more
earnest party workers and UNDER
stand more clearly our power,
have a profounder appreciation of
our rights and are more determin.

II, as our Democratic friends say,
the state certificates of indebted
ness constitute a 'judicious in
vestment," why do they not advo-
cate the issuing of certificates of
indebtedness to take the place Of
the county school fund and instead
OF loaning the school funds to in
N~,;iduals who are willing to pay
interest for the use of the money,
use 1t to pay oil the county's out
Indebtedness, issue certificates of
indebtedness In lieu of 1t and tax
the people to pay interest on the
certificates--same as is done with
regard to the state school fund.-

THE CONDITION OF INDIA.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: May be permitted to express establishment
at reading in your issue of the 18th inst that ac-
coroing to Lord George Hamilton. India is increas-
insly prosperous? That is puzzing statement in
view of the famine record and the record of dinin-
ishing Incomes OF the Indian people. According
10 William Digby, who gives data for his state
ments { prosperous British India''). in the first
quarter OF the last century there We're five famnes
with (estirnated) 100000 deaths; in the second
quarter there were two faHines with (estirated)
0t0UVt deathS in the third quarter there were six
famines. with Cecorded) 100000 deaths and In
with testtmatedl 100000 deaths Surely this does
not mean increasing prosperity
From the same authority it appears that the
estimated daily income OF the Indian people in 1856
I'd a head. in 1880 it was I'D a head and in
1860 it I'd head. This seems more consistent
with increased famine mortality than with In
creased property. I fear that the uncomfortable
