We believe the larger portion Of
the Democratic voters of Missouri
to be thoroughly honest and up
right citizens, who wonld not for
a single instant endorse an open
and Migrant violation Of the laws
of the state by the men they have
elected to office if they were con-
vinced of the fact that such viola
ton has really occurred under
Democratic rule in this state. The
rank and file of the Democratic
party are, however, responsible
for much of the official iniquity at
Jefferson City for the reason that
they will no, believe in the mis-
conduct of their representatives
when the otfcnse is charged by the
Republicans. For years the party
press has been holding up the
Democratic Office holders It's a class
above all reproach, while the Re
publicans have been denounced
as 4 rascally horde, whose only
ambition was to get into office that
they might wreck the state, and in
the blindness Of their faith the
Democratic voters believed. In
defending the partys management
of the state school fund the Dem
ocratic press persistcnt|y refuses
to discuss the case from Il legal
standpoint, and presents the qucs-
| ton in every aspect but Il legal
one. In converting the school
fund into an interest bear
ing debt the Democrats have vio-
lated the organic law of the state:
they cannot get over this point,
hence they ignore it. The men
who had charge of the fund have
constituted themselves power
above the law which plainly states
that the state debt cannot be increas-
ed without the consent of the peo-
pIe, Has it ever been shown where
the consent Of the people was asked
for the conversion of the school
fund into y public debt! Lotit b.

sion. Practical persons will say
tha! the appropriation for the asy-
lum was not available last year.
and an entire building season was
lost. At the end OF thirty years
of uninterrupted Democratic rule
the governor looks to the future
for a satisfactory condition Of the
state charitable institutions, and
for an asylum appropriation also
that was authorized nearly year
ago. Governor Dockery's New
Year Fluctuations are Il lively sense
of benefits, promised hereafter.
The boarded up asylum at Farm
ington is an object lesson to that
effect. Globe democrat.

When the Missouri Democracy
is criticised for rec ewing contribu-
tion to its campaign funds from
monopolistic corporations, the
partys defenders try to jnstify its
action by saying that the Rcpuhli-
cans are just az bad. But why
should the corporations pay money
to the Republicans at sill? When
corporate interests pay over money
to political party it is not with a
view to philanthropy. Some
equivalent is expected, and the re-
snlts of the Cartlveil trial have
shown that the corporations get
all they pay for. The Republican
party in this state has not been in
Il position for more than third of
Il century to,aid the corporations
in return for campaign con
tributions. so there is no reason in
the assertion that one party is as
6ad AS the other in this respect.

unconstitutionly levied under the
y,,ise that it i: intended to he APP
piled to the bonded indebtedness of
the state. If the interest on the
certificates is not direct state tax
and the acme Of public hnanciering,
why not carry the proposition
still farther and do away with the
general tax levies altogether! Let
the constitution be so amended that
all the states revenues be derived
from certificates of indebtedness.
We will then have no state taxa
ton whatever, but will secure the
necessary revenues from the inter-
est upon 81 fine Investment. Th e
thing is 50 easy its wonder our
Hillsboro contemporary has not
proposed it long ago.

men during the past few days and in
query as 10 how their business of this
year compared with other years, they
have invariably told us it Eas been bet
ter Everything augurs well for n year
of progress ahead and everybody is
happy. There are many public and
private improvements to be made in the

may see a large federal building COM
pleted, street cars in operation, large

stationed behind screens in a corner of
the parlor and enliyened the occasion
with sweet music while the reception
lasted and then supplied inspiration for
the merry throng of dancers that
tripped the light fantastic until 400 in
the morning. The parlors of the Club
House were veritable bower of lowell
