A few years ago when old Dave
A. Ball was out for the Democratic
nomination for Governor of Mis-
souri, he stated in plain terms that
he believed that the party was be-
ing completely dominated by a
corrupt ring which had intrenched
itself in the state Offices. Since
that time events have shown the
correctness of Balls assertion.
He believed then, rs he believes
now, that tic best interests of the
people Of Missouri lie in com
plete eiectmcnt Of the ringsters.
Men like Ball, however, will be
given no opportunity to demon
strate that they can give the state a
cleaner government, since Dockcry
and his crowd will control the
nominating convention. Relief
can only como from the honest eIe
neht Of the Democratic party al
lgniug itself with the Republicans.

Sins Are Found Out.

An editorial in the Jackson
County Judge of the past week is
a strong statement of the situation
in Missouri:
The devil is a sharp 6nancier, 80
IS the Democratic statehouse ring.
Sometimes good people get tired
and refuse to pay premiums on
rascality, but this finding is not a
new one. Charges have been
made and proven that the men at
the helm of the Democratic party y
in Missouri held up corporations
for campaign funds, and the work
has been going on for years. The
exposure which has followed has
alarmed the ring, and it will cost
thousands Of good votes from men
| who will insist on n new deal. Ii
New York recently there was II
committee of seventy operating
against seventy rosneS, and Tam
many went down. Public con
science was awakened as it /:
awakened to-day in Missouri b,
tho Cardwell disclosures. Tht
abominable and shameful acts, tn.
money paid over toprevent further
disclosures, only accentnates' th",
inlrigues, briberieS, corruption
and crookedness have been rife al
the State capitol. and it calls for ,
change. Lies, romances, and al
sorts of humbuggery will not foo
the voters again: The dirty bruo,
and jobbing mercaneries that huv
been receiving the support of gon'
men will find ut the next election
heavy vote for the Republican
ticket which will be Il proles
against political leaders who sol
. out their manhood and party t
corporations that they might pei
petuate their power. Never agai
while time lasts can they stan
where they have stood, for, fror

An Old Spanish Silver Nine ound
by Accident.

There is some excitement in tho
north part of the county over tn'
rediscovery of an old Spanish sill
yer mine on the Bourbois, not fal
from Argo. The story of the ex
istence ef the mine had ceuse.l te
he anything but tradition among
some of the old settlers. The story
goes that the Spaniards found and
developed the mine, and were still
| working in it when trouble arose
| with tha Indians. This caused q
suspension of mining operations.
The Spaniards secreted the treas
ure on hand in the mine and cover
ed the mouth of it with timber and
earth. and from that time, until
the recent discovery, the mine had
defied all efforts made to find it.
The earliest settlers searched for
it and believed in it, but, as time
passed on and new generations
succeeded the old, the story Of the
mine came to he very nearly forgot
ten. When found, it was by ac-
eident.
A man, named Jud Curly, WAS
driving some cattle through the
woods when one of them broke
through the crust formed by the
earth and decayed timber, over
the mouth Of the mine. Mr.. Curly
proceeded to investig gate. He
found flight of steps Leading down
into the earth and descended a
short distance. Having heard the
tradition Of the mine, he, after
wards, lost no time in satisfying
himself IF the nature Of bis discov-
cry. He then concealed the open
ing and offered to divulge his Sc
cret for Il certain sum and share in
the mine. John Hulsey. the Argo
merchant, and another gentleman
accented Curly's offer. They
bought the property and are ex-
pecting to open up the mine at IN
early date.-Cuba Telephone.

ing that there is n deficit Of $1l,-

have been applied to the state debt

was compiled from Gov. Dockery's
recent financial exhibit, and if
there is anything wrong with it,
4 little sum in addition and sub
traction would quickly show. But
somehow our Democratic friends
are averse to going into the figures
any further than they are set forth

Ex Gov. Stephens says: "When
it comes to bossism, Hanna, Quay
Croker and Kerens are ameteurs
beside Missonri's Seiberts and
Cooks" We may safely assume
that the doughty ex Governor
knows whereof he speaks by his
assertion that the Missouri Demo-
cracy is boss ridden in the meanest
kind of bosses. He was in close
association with them for long
time until within a year or two
ago, and pro6ted as much by their
tricks and scheming as anyone.
The only difference between Steph-
ems and the rest of the gang which
dominates Democratic politics in
this state is that he has been shov-
ed out of the inner circle hy his
former friends, and is making a
howl over it. Stephens was Just
as mean as any Of The gang while
he trained with it. He had it in
his power to prove himself better
when the Nesbit law was laid be-
fore him for his approval, and he
approved it. Had he foresecn that
he would not be among those who
have been the benefcarics of that
unfair act of partisanship he would
probably have vetoed the bill. But
let Stephens continue to talk out
in meeting. If anything he says
will have its weight in overturning
the ring rule that has bnrdened
Missouri so long. his former of
fences, committed while associated
with the ringsters, will be to some
extent mitigated.
