Beggars And Prosperity.

"When beggars own bank stock the
country is in no danger of going to
ruin for lack OF prosperity"
So said DR.. Hills of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn, In his Thanksgiving
sermon.
He had in mind the kind Of beggars
who solicit aims or ''loanh in the
streets or from door to door, pleadidg
poverty and dire distress with some
degree of truthfulness-in some cases.
His idea was, of course, that the
country must be prosperous when peo-
pie are able aud willing to give so
literally to beggars that they can be-
come owners of bank stock.
But there are other a~ffluent beggars
who plead poverty and who own or are
able to own bank stock on a vastly
larger scale.
These beggars do not, indeed, repre-
sent that they or their families person.
ally are on the verge of starvation.
1t is their industry that is in des-
perate need and that is liable to perish
m~iserably unless relief is forthcoming
at once.
They do not sit in the street with
their hats off, extended palms and
grinding melancholy hand organs.
They 60 to Washington and do all
these things and pour dismal tales Of
o. into the ears of passing congress
men in the lobbles of the two houses.
But they do it with wine supper and
kindred accomplishments.
Tender-hearted congressman lend a
willing ear.
They fit out these sleek mendicants
with licenses in the form Of tariff
schedules to hold up everybody and re-
lieve them of part of their money.
Also they obligingly supply them
with "pals" from whom the public
cannot escape-custom-house officers
backed by the whole power of the gov
eminent.
This also is a sign OF prosperity-a
much surer sign than the vulgar beg
gar with bank stock.
II the people were not phenomenally
prosperous they could not stand the
exactions of these robber- beggars.
They would rise in their mig bit and
abate finally and forever this abomin-
able nuisance Of beggars with enorm-
Gus industrial plants, who retire rich
enough TO bestow aims upon their VIC
Tins and have two or. three hundred
millions left to bestow on their heirs.

AN old croak like Eli AXE, with a
mind as thick as tissue paper, sense OF
justice as clear as mud, political fore
sight as comprehensive as an owls
vision at MONDAY, is not expected to
see anything beyond the narrow limits
of Iron county. AS evidence Of that
fact read this unjust thrust found in
his paper, among others aimed at Gov.
Dockery, D. B. Hill and other men
who are too small for great statesmen

see, for he sees only one way, and
that very narrowly contracted.-Cape

and uncalled-for thrust at the ablest

ing the whole of our career as a news.
paper man, and we believe have read
his paper nearly every week during
that time, and we know that he has
been as true as steel to every cause
that is just. to every issue that has
been fought out and had for its pur'
pose the good of the people. The

| Democrat and a man at whose feet
many who claim to advocate Demo
cratic principles are not worthy tt
stoop down and unbuckle his shoes
We deem it a duty and a rare privil

man as Eli AXE and to defend hin

The Hon. Tom Reed says the Re-
publican party will take care OF the
trusts in its own peculiar manner:
.sAn indefinite something is to be done,
in a way nobody knows how, and at a
time nobody knows when" The ex-
Speakers brain never formulated for
him a more truthful witticism. Presl-
dent Teddy and his followers are as
alarming to the trusts as is the lamb

THE REGISTER did not deem it eces
sary to reply TO the brutal and un-
called for attack that appeared in a
late issue of the Cape Girardeau Pro-
qreSS. The fact remains that Secre-
tary of State Sam B. Cook made a big
blunder when he did not print the
proposed constitutional amendments
for Cape county in the Jackson CASH
Book. That paper has long and man
fully fought the battles Of Democracy,
and was clearly entitled to the print
ing in preference to any newcomer.

It is 81 feet in length from tip to

enough to permit the working of six

lot provide sufficient space to prop
