JUDGE Sidener, of st. Louis, carries
the right of self-defense to even the
brute creation. The other day boy,
a piece OF cord, tin can and a dogs
tail were in evidence, on a charge OF q
bite administered by the dog to the
boy, just as the can had been attached
by the cord to the aforesaid dog. The
court held that the dog had natural
right to protect the tail from injury
and himself from the iudignity of
wearing the cumbersome and uncouth
ornament, and that he was "just as
immune from punishment as the man
who strikes burglar in defense of his
own life and welfare" This principle.
if understood by the brute creation,
would doubtless greatly aid the hu.
name societies in their mercy work.

Political Ingratitude.

1t may be that Oily has reported
Charley, Billings declaration that he
will not be candidate for Sheriff OF
this county, in bungling manner, and
that he is not guilty OF ingratitude to
the party which boosted him into Of
flee when he wanted it, but the report
as published certainly conveys that
impression. The bare statement that
he was not Democrat, would have
sufficed to show that he had his nose
turned towards more promising pie.
counter, although, if it indeed be true,
as he now SO exultantly declares, he
is SO exceedingly prosperous that
he would not accept any office with.
in the gift of the people. 1t is al
ways advisable, however, to have an
chors cast to the windward, to hang
on to if breakers appear, and that is
probably his object in making a noisy
declination. When he goes on, how
ever, to assail the judgment of the
party which carried him to victory on
the financial issue, by calling advocacy
of bimetallism mistake" he passes
judgment upon a problem that has
puzzled the brightest brains of the
country. Can it not possibly dawn
upon the understanding OF Mr.. Billings
that some of our people are prosperous
in spite Of the gold standard, instead
of because of it, and that none would
certainly be worse off from bimetal-
lism? Can he not see that monopoly
and trust are the result OF tariff and
our one-legged financial policy? May
party slogans pass without inquiry as
to their propriety? When Republican
birds of prey are gorging themselves, it
is not surprising that the owls and
peewits boot and chirp a sympathetic
chorus, for God has made them So"
although the chicken and worm crop
may never be 90 short. The "unpar-
alleled prosperity" that Oily says Mr..
Billings gave as cause for his return
to party that has widened the chasm
between labor and capital, is shown by
the prolonged strikes all over the
country, melted by an attempt Of the
poor man to raise the wage.rate to cor
respond with the prices of necessities
controlled by the greedy goldbugs.
Nobody objects to Mr.. Billings
changing his party feal,y as often as
his coat. if he only does 60 in be-
coming manner; but for him to make
the tender of support the means for a
slap in the jaw is poor reward for the
devoted friendship shown him at a
time when he was about as earnest an
Office seeker as anybody on the ticket
with him.

HoBSON's CHIvALRY PUT To- THE

st. Louis, came very near losing her
life, the other day, while she was en-.
gagged in banter with Hobson, the man
who has attained more fame at the
lips of woman than at the mouth of
the cannon. Miss Cert, in q spirit of
jest, asked him If he would rescue her
If she was drowning. Receiving an
answer in the affirmative, she immedi.
ately jumped from the yachts deck,
where party of pleasure-seekers were
gathered, into the river. She could
not swim and had sank the second
time whom Hobson swan to where she
had been seen to rise and dived. In a
moment he reappeared grasping the
girl securely around the shoulders.
Powerful swimmer as he is, he would
probably have gone to the the bottom
of the Mississippi with the struggling
girl, bad it not been for aid from 9TH
ers. It was only after considerable
effort that Miss Cert was restored to
consciousness, when she said to her
companions, know was very fool.

Well See.

Oiy seems to think that Little Re is
in earnest in its statement that the
Democratic party OF this county has
no organization, and proceeds seriously
to instruct the little runt at the foot
of the class. Probably Oiy don't know
however, that the sorehcai Republic
cans who stand sponsor for that organ
of discomfort have approached Demo
Gratis with propositions for an alliance
on Citizens ticket, under devil on
the mount proposition OF an even di
vide OF all offices except legislative, il
they would only fall down and worship
at the shrine Of a faction whose
sole object seems to be to down the
regular organization.
There does not seem to be any prob
ability. however, of beguilement from
the Tempter. Democrats have shown
by steadfast devotion to party amid
repeated defeats, that it is a vindica
ton OF principle they seek and not the
success OF individuals. At a caucu:
held, Wednesday night, at which quite
number Of representative men were
present, the sentiment was practically
unanimous for a straight party ticket
Fusion has not been satisfactory, even
with the reform ele ment in politics
and it is preposterous to assume that
any true Democrat would unite with
lifelong foe in the hope OF better
ment OF economic conditions thereby
especially when the real object is sc
plain that it is only a whirl of the
grindstone that is desired.
The best of feeling seems to prevail
amid Democrats and all regard condi-
tions as suspicious for success. The
County Republican Convention will
be lively one, and it goes without
saying that wounds will be inflicted in
the contest that will not heal before
the ballot is cast in November. With
this condition of affairs, what is tc
prevent the only united party from
polling a majority in triangular con.
test?
The national Republican party il
being steadily and surely split in
twain. The only prestige possessed by
the party in this State has been at
tanned by the Governor incorporating
uncer borrowed plumes, and rival con.
flicts are on throughout the State by
the personal followings of Senatorial
candidates. Amid such conditions
the Republican is fool who can lay
the "flattering JUNCTION to his soul"
that the party has anything like Ger.
tainty of success.

OIL AND WATER THAT WILL Nor
MIX.-That the immense volume OF
water flowing in the Mississippi river
can be polluted by the leakage from
oil barges, used in delivery of petrol
cum, seems almost beyond belief; but
for some time complaints have been
made that it affected the flavor of
shrimp, oysters and other fish, and
this has been supplemented by more
weighty protest, based upon a con-
tamination which prevents the people
from using the water for cooking and
drinking purposes, an imperative de-
mand for which exists from cisterns
going dry from prolonged drouth. To
get water fit to drink consumers have
to 60 to the middle OF the Mississippi,
and lower their buckets to a consider
able depth to find water that can be
used. The rice growers complain,
likewise, that they cannot use the
water for irriga,ing their growing
crops.

thread to the plot, il it really has any
continuity OF action towards system
