anything for public opinion they would

HOME RULE IN MISSOURI.

Municipal home rule in relation to
elections is a live issue in Missouri,
where the democratic party is able to
maintain its hold only by systematic
and fragrant subversion of free and fair
elections in the great cities of st. Louis
and Kansas City. Both are, in fact,
republican cities. as has been demon
strated time and again, and, as the re-
publican strength In the state was so
rapidly growing as to threaten at any
time to reduce the democracy to a
minority, the so-called Nesbit election
law was passed, taking elections in the
two great cities out of the hands of
their own people and leaving them to
the tender mercies of the democratic
state organization which controlled the
state officers. This organization ar
bitrarily dictates the election boards and
the law is carefully drawn to afford I'M
limited latitude for fraud both in the
registration and election and in the
counting and certiication Of the votes.
While this Missouri law striking down
the rights of local constituencies has
been in force several years. 1t has ac-
complished its purpose only through
scandals and outrages, which at each
succeeding election became more intol-
cradle. The evidence is indisputable
that ut the late election the true result
was falsifed by the operation of the un-
righteous system and thousands upon
thousands Of votes deliberately manu-
featured or suppressed in the returns
according as partisan interest dictated.
This evidence, so far as 1t relates to one
district in st. Louis, will be placed on
record through the contest of the re-
publican candidate for congress-, but it
will not show a more dlsgraceful condi-
ton than is said to prevail in other
parts of that city and of Kansas City.
1t is noteworthy that affairs have
reached such an extremity that a con-
siderable element of the democratic
party In h state is calling for repeal
Of the infamous Nesbit law and the
restoration of the two leading cities to
the same control over their own cleo
lions as other cities and communities
possess. The dominant politicians will
resist TO the full limit and the fight for
local rights resolves itself into a strug-
gle for decent government.

THE COMMONER
Mr.. Bryan's Paper,


The Commoner has attained within
six months from date ofthe first issue Il
circulation of 100, 600 copies, a record
probably never equaled in history of
American periodical literature. Theun-
paralleled growth of this paper demon
strates that there is room in the news
paper field for a national paper devoted
to the discussion of political, economic
and social problems. To the columns
of The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan contrib
utes his best efforts; and his review of
political events as they arise from time
To time can not fail to interest those
who study public questions.
The Commoner's regular transcription
price is Sl.00 per year. We have ar
ranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the weekly
Democrat together for one year for
Sl.50. The irregular subscription price OF
the two papers when subscribed for
separately $500.

Wagon Roads.

In Conversation with Mr.. Milne
yesterday, he informed a cores
pondent of the Democrat, that
out on the road leading to Chick
asha. about two miles from town,
that the road is impossible to get
through large mud hole, and
that there is no way to go around
it, there being a three wire fence
on both sides of the road. Mr..
Milne says that this placeis keep
ing a great many people away
from Anrdarko, that would come
here and do their trading. He
says this place could easily be
fixed and that it would not cost
more than fifteen or twenty dol
lars to fix it. This matter should
be taken up at once by the COM
meIc1al club and the necessary
arrangements made to have it
fixed. Again we want to urge
our business men to join the Com
mercial Club, and attend the
meetings, as it is not right to force
few men who are willing to go
to a great deal of expense and
trouble, to do all this work, when
if all would assist it would make
the burden very light on each
one. We are glad to state how
ever, that several of our busi-
ness men have seen the impor-
tance of this work and have
Joined the club and doing their
utmost to bring all the trade
here that belongs TO Anadarko.

HIS PR1NcELY CONFIRMATION.
Receiver of Financial Aid Associa-
tion Gets $1.S7

Judge Bum yesterday made an order
allowing the account of George E. Budd
and discharging him as receiver of the
Financial Aid association. Budd reciteS
in his petition that as receiver he found
that there should be a balance in the
Lands of the treasurer Of the concern OF
$500, but all that he was able to discover
IN existence was a lot of second hanr
office furniture, and five notes. Their
total face value is $40 There is a de-
post in the First National bank of 1882
to the credit of the concern, with a gar
nishment against it.
He further finds that the president and
the secretary of the concern are each liza
BILE to the amount of $191 81 on account
of an overdrawn reserve fund. The sec
rotary is herself insolvent, and the pres
ldent claims that he was never legally
elected to that Office, that he did not
accept, and never qualified.
DR.. Cary was president Of the associa-
ton, and in speaking of him the receiver
says that he evidently became connected
with it through an error in judgment,
and there is nothing to show in all his
transactions THAT would in any way
reflect upon his good faith.
Walter Johnson was the general man
ager, and Emma Johnson secretary. Now
that the affairs Of the association are
wound up there is $1.S7 as compensation
to the receiver for the work he has done

'TISMARCH WEATHER
COLD WAVE OF GOOD DIMENSIONS
ARRIVES FOR SEVERAL
DAYS STAY
MERCURY IS CLOSE TO ZERO
Weather Man Offers No Relief From
Wind and Cold for Coming
Week-St. Paul Gets 1t
Easy, However.

The cold wave that is covering the
Northwest struck st. Paul yesterday, re-
sulting in a very decisive change Of tenn
perature. The highest that the govern
ment thermometer registered yesterday
was so. This was in the forenoon anu
before noon it had dropped to AZ and later
in the afternoon it got down to 20 and
the forecaster says that it will go to IL,
and possibly u above before morning.
There may be some snow, but it is too
cold for very heavy fall. The end Of, the
cold snap, according to the forecaSter,
is not in sight yet and st. Paul will be
in the throes of winter for some time to
come.
The high wind yesterday played many
pranks in various parts of the city. 1t
was not an uncommon sight during the
day to see q man with bare head wildly
chasing down the street in pursuit of
hat which was just eluding his grasp. At
the corner of Fifth and St. Peter streets
last night a man stood for ten minutes
holding a iady's hat which came flying
down the street, vainly waiting for the
owner to put in an appearance, At last
he gave up in despair and took the hat
home with him.
Large bill boards were blown over in
the outskirts of the city, and many
signs were wrecked. On Fort street
piece of sidewalk forty feet long was
raised from its foundations and blown
into the street. Many other FRANKS of
a similar nature were played by the bois
ferrous wind.
At Third and Market streets the wind
swung the electric wires so fercely that
one of them was loosened, and brushed
upon another a few feet lower The cleo
trio display caused by the two live wires
coming in contact was beautiful AT
times a sheet of fame fully two feet in
height would dart out from the juncture
Of the wires Then as the wind would
die down the wires would separate anG
all would be in darkness until another
gust brought them in contacts SO far
as could be learned no damage was done
by the wind throughout the day.
Throughout the Northwest the mercury
is hugging the bulb pretty closely. The
tenlperatures observed yesterday at
Northwestern points show that st. Paul
is only getting the tail end OF the
weather.
At Bismarck yesterday morning the
thermometer stood at zero while at Cal
gary it was below. Edmonton registered
below. Minnedosa and gu Appelle III,
and Prince Albert IA.
The weather man does not predict that
St. Paul will have zero weather, but he
does say that there will be considerable
cold and disagreeable weather here Tor
few days at least.

MOST people think that catarrh IS a

nose. Nothing is farther from the
the truth. 1t may be that the nose and

these parts are more exposed to the

ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HE'LL
Daniel w. LawIer Dissects r. IL.
DOran's Record and shows It's
inconsistency Other
Ward Meetings.

One Of the banner meetings of the
primary campaign was held last night.
when fully 800 enthusiastic Democrats
gathered IN the Sixth ward Democratic
headquarters at 37S South Wabasha
street, and heard good Democratic doc
trine expounded by number of promi-
nent speakers.
ITO say a word or two for one Of tho
best aldermen in the city, Michael T.
Moriarty," was the manner in Which
Daniel w. Lawler greeted the assem-
llage, and the refrain was taken up
with a roar that BODIES good for Mr. Nor
iarty when the votes are counted next
Tuesday evening.
Taking it for granted that r. b. Doran
will be the nominee of the Republican
party for mayor Mr. Iawler threw some
warm shos into the camp Of the enemy
by pointing cut the inconsistency Of that
gentleman and the nefarious methods of
the party to which he aspires to lead
At Mr.. Doran's own request. Mr. Law
Ter said, he had been permitted to draft
that part of the city charter which Gre
ated a police commission, yet when his
party was driven from power he and his
benchmen We're the first to try and have
ii declared of no value and those elected
under it ousted from office. Mr. Doran
and his party said Mr.. LAWYER next di-
rected their efforts at the school system
and would have caused a return to the
dark days had not their designs been
discovered and thwarted. "In each Of
these Mr.. Doran was the prime mover"
declared Mr. LAWYER, ''and / am glad to
know that he is going to be the party
nominee. With sucn a candidate and the
record he cannot repudiate, success must
surely attend the Democratic nominee
when the regular election rolls around "
To tho assemblage Mr.. Lawler pointed
out the many attempts of the Republi-
cans to nullify the charter, even to the
extent of introducing bills in the legisla-
ture, trifling on their face. vet when SUBJ
jected to Democratic scrutiny, revealed
conspiracy that was in every way criIni-
nal The final effort, declared Mr.. Law
Ter, was the overthrow OF the primary
law, attempted by a few Republicans, but
which happily did not succeed.
During his speech Mr.. LaWler made re-
peated references to Robert A. Smith and
the ticket in general, and the announce
ments were greeted with applause
Representative James r. Hickey follow
ed Mr.. LAWYER and spoke on the new
primary law and the necessity for every
Democrat casting his vote next Tues
day. A number Of the candidates on
the Democratic ticket were in attendance
and spoke briefly also number of the
leading Democrats of the ward.
The gathering was one of the best of
the campaign, and was enthusiastic for
its alderman. Michael j. Moriarty and
Robert a. Smith for mayor.
