Governmental Folly.

EDITOR lNTELuGEEcER; The Chi
cago Post, in commenting on the Hill
proposal to make silver dollars re-
deemable in gold, remarks that "al
the world knows that our silver dollar
is merely metallic greenback. T" There
never has been greenback except
those which we're made redeemable.
The silver dollar is not redeemable: if
1t were, this bill to make it redeemabe
would be superiluous. Should the bill
pass 1t will then 0e true that the silver
dollar is "metailc greenback. y
Now what must be thought of nation
that writes its promissory notes on a
material costing in the open market
fifty cents for every portion on winch
a promise 20 pay dollar is writtenP ?
What would be thought OF an in
dvidual who would give his note for
81 Ut5 OF naiefIai costing him
SCOOP And who habitually gave his
note IN the same wayP Is it not the
very acme of asininlly in nation?
Would not such an individual be con.
sidered lunaIicP But we need not
wait for the passage of this bill tc
ndict the gold tiatists OF this folly.
We already write promissory notes for
fifty, twenty five and len cents each on
this same costly material. Is 1t not
utterly asinine to write redeemable
promissory notes amounting 10 the
aggregate TO hundreds Of millions on
so costly a material? Why not use
paper for writing all the governments
promissory notes onP Thus il is seen
that the anti-silver logic and practice
means that silver must be done away
with entirely, not even used for change
1t is a case OF proving too much. This
example alone wins the case for the
advocates of a return to constitutional
coinage. GEORGE WILSON.

him flowers and otherwise befriended
him; one to a negress in the jail who
washed his clothes for him, and others
whom he felt were his friends.
Garth sat by the bars of his cell
smoking and chatting with those who
had come in during the early hours Of
the night, and was by far the most
cheerful of the little group. From the
big cell on the east came the laughter
aud an occasional oath of the several
white women who are confined there.
But he did not seem to hear them.
Down stairs, where the negro women
were confined, all was still save the
occasional singing Of hymn. The
blacks stood more 10 awe of death
than the whites, and they had more
consideration for the condemned
mans feelings After Garth had
chatted awhile with the reporter, he
went over by his bunk and began to
write his letters. He said that he
had no written statement to make,
and probably would have nothing to
say on the gallows.

the people, and | believe in the wis
dom of that policy; but until the law
shall be changed senators can be
elected only by the legislature.
"For about eighty years each
county and senatorial district Of this
state has exercised the right Of ex-
pressing its own independent choice
for senator, and having its preference
voiced by its own representative. The
people have always steadfastly de-
Tended the principal of local indepen-
dence and self government, and ON
many occasions have been quick to
resent any interference with it. Not
withstanding all this it is now sud-
denly and seriously proposed that this
committee, without any previous
party expression or direction on the
subject, SHALL of its own motion,
order course Of procedure that
would be radical departure from all
the precedents and practices of the
party for over three quarters of
century. The proposition is that the
committee shall order a state primary
election, to be held on the same day
throughout the state, under the
direction Of this committee, for the
purpose Of nominating a candidate
for United States senator, to be voted
for by the democratic members Of the
legislature. Ia other words it is pro-
posed by this method to blot out
separate and independent county
action in chosing a senator and Q
substitute the action Of the state as
unit.
''The preference Of counties would
be ignored In all cases when they did
not accord with the result as shown
BY the total vote returned from the
whole state. / do not believe that
the committee has the right to order
a procedure Of that nature and having
that result Without some authoritative

MUST STAND SHARE.
Of the Burden of Taxation Says the States lustrious
Chief Executive
Thing OF REPUBLICAN MISRULE IN MISSOURI.
Onward to Further Aehevement--Must Keep Pace With
Countrys General Progress.

The future policy of the democratic
party in Missouri was tersely outlined
by Governor DOckery few days ago
when he said:
"Missouri stands today a great
monument TO democratic guardian
ship. The state, with its sound
credits and its grand educational in
Stitutions, is the result Of thirty
years Of democratic management,
democratic guidance, democratic
honesty and legislation. Still the
democratic party is not satisfied.
There is much more to be done, Tie
scope is almost limitless. While we
have built great schools and lifted
the burdens of taxation, spending
money for public improvements COM
paratively generously, yet the state
has been too penurious.
1--WE are living in the twentieth
century and must keep pace with
it, We must spend more. We
want, and will have, the greatest
university in the world, the best
normal and primary schools. In
order to have them we must spend
more money, money raised by leyying
more taxes on corporations. While
we are opposed to hurdensome taxa
tlon, we believe the beer and whisky
will stand a heavier tax. 1t is the
consumer, anyway, and not the
brewer, who pays it in the end
'It is the established policy of the
democratic party to reduce the burden
Of taxation on the people at large and
place it where it properly belongs on
the corporations. The people have
had no cause for murmur nor COM
plaint during the thirty years democ-
racy has held the reins Of government
in Missouri. Nor will they have. The
Improvements in the school system
and other public institutions, as well
as the cancellationof the bonded debt,
have been made under a constantly
decreasing tax levy. This has been
possible because every dollar paid by
taxpayers has been honestly accounted
for. There is but $3.50. 80 unaccounted
for in our stewardship of thirty years,
and l am trying to run that down
now "
When the democratic party took
hold of the plow handles in 1872 it
found the people discouraged, dis,
heartened and debt-ridden. The re-
publican Legislators, executive and
judiciary lights rolled their pelf-dis

STATE PRIMARY QUESTION
InteIIigentIy Discussed by William
AulI, Of Lexington,
BEFORE THE STATE COMMITTEE.
Dangerous to Introduce Party InnOv
tiOus Without Authority.

William Aull, a member Of the
democratic state central committee
and citizen Of Lafayette county,
delivered an address before the COM
mittee at the meeting held at st.
Louis last Saturday, opposing, as his
county certainly opposes, the holding
of general state primary for the
selection Of candidate for United
States senator. Among other things,
Mr. Aull said:
"The committee is only the agent
of the democratic party having no
powers except such as have been
delegated to it by the convention
which appointed it The long con-
tinued policy and uniform precedents
Of the party regarding any given sub
iect are binding on the committee,
and it is clear that before the com
mittee should undertake to reverse
the whole course of party procedure,
there should be some authoritative
direction or expression to that effect
from the unquestioned majority Of
the people Under the laws of the
United States senator in congress
can be elected only by the Legislature
.of the state. The democratic party
is pledged to the policy Of changing
