Which of the'large cities of the world
had the shortest life?
. In the ancient world the answer is
Palmyra. The period of its prosperity
extended only from III to 273 A. d.,
1856 years. In the fifth century B. c..
PersOpOlis was the capital of the Per-
sian empire for thirty years only, but
this was merely an accident of war
and politics. Carthage was the shortest
lived seat of empire, for it only en-
dured about 500 years. In modern times
the answer would be Amarapura. the
former capital of Burma. Founded in
1888. it had in 1900 a population Of
175.OO0. Sixty years later the seat Of
government was transferred to Man.

scented only by few ruined temples

Mr. DeArmond a Candidate.

Congressman d. A. DeArmond, one
Of Missouri's leading democrats, has
formally announced his candidacy for
Mr.. Vests seat in the United States
senate but in making the announce
ment states that he will remain at
his post in Washington until congress
adjourns. 1t has been semi-otficially
known for some time that Mr.. De-
Almond was in the race and it is also
a known fact that this Bates county
citizen has considerable strength in
Missouri. His ability and fidelity to
party principle stand unquestioned
and should he succeed Mr.. Vest in
the senate Missouri would be ably
represented in the upper branch Of
congress. The four avoved candidates
for the senate now are Ex-Governor
William J. Stone, Congressman De-
Almond, Of Bates county, Congress-
man Clark, of Pike, and William H.
Wallace, of Jackson.

The present administration of the
affairs Of Lexington is to be congrat-
ulated on Kidding the city of debt, as
will be noted by reference to a report
of Monday nights council meeting,
to be found at another place ia this
issue of the INTELLIeENoER. 1t has
been a long time since Lexington was
out Of debt and the people of the
town surely feel grateful to the
mayor, council and other city officials
who have succeeded in bringing about
THIS state of affairs.

The INTELLIeENCER is informed
that the Missouri Pacific is preparing
to abandon its preseut passenger depot
with the view to locating at some
point better suited to its 'pur-

concerns Lexington and some action
should be taken by our citizens in the
direction of getting a depot nearer
the city than Myrick. These are
onveniences which Lexington, the
best passenger feeder for that road
along its line, is entitled TO and our
citizens should act promptly in sub
hitting their claim, based upon JUS
tice and right, to The officers OF this
company.

The official head Of the Philippine
government, William II. Taft, in
making a statement before the senate
committee on the Philippines said
that it cost him sl25 in gold per
month to light his palace at Manilaan
that he is forced to pay $4,000 per
annum out of his own pocket for
servant hire. These are mere Incl

although the assurance l have that

Now, there is a lesson in all this,
and a valuable lesson to those who
would promote party harmony and
who desire the ultimate success Of
democracy, the party Of the people.
When the friends Of Mr.. Clark saw
that the Missouri democracy was OPP
posed to injecting a general state
primary into the affairs Of the party
just at this period of its progress they
should have gracefully bowed to that
decision and submitted smilingly to
the will of the majority. They had
all to gain and nothing to lose by
such a course and displayed poor taste,
even from a selfish standpoint, and
unenyiable disposition in abusing all
those who did not agreed with them.
After assuming the position, however,
that the only fair way to select a
senatorial candidate was through the
medium Of a general state primary.
and on the theory that half a loaf is
better Chan no loaf, especially when
the same object is attained in the ac-

It does not look well for the Audrain
county committee to deny the right
OF Coy Stone and other senatorial
candidates in that county which they
had claimed for Mr.. Clark throughout
the state at a general primary.
