1t has been tipped off to the Jour
nal that sche ne is on foot by
which the Democrats in this county
will try to make a sneak at the
April elections by which they hope
to capture all or at least large
majority of road overseerships.
Under the road laws as amended
by the last Legislature. the road
overseerships are now elective Of
fees and are to be filled by the
people directly at the same time
the annual school meetings are
held, on the first Tuesday in April.
Our information is that it is upon
the usual lack of interest shown
in attending the school meetings
that the leaders of the local Demo
cracy base their hopes of success
in electing their men as road over
scers. The Republicans were to
be taken unaware. The scheme is
that the Democrats all over the
county are to be informed of this
opportunity and urged to attend
the school meetings in sufficient
numbers to overwhelm all opposi-
ton. In each road district a Dem
Ocratic candidate is to be sprung
upon the unsuspecting Republicans
at the last moment and when il
will be too late for them to rally
around candidate Of their OWL
selection. This trick is worthy o1
the Democratic leaders in thi.
county, from what we know OF
them, and now that it is exposed
in advance the Republicans shoule
be on their guard, and in such dis
tricts where they are in the major
lty they should see to it that ;
competent Republican is put il
nomination for overseer. Neither
should they fall to turn out at th'
election in support of their candi
date.

poration combines to show their
purposes and to make plain the
means by which they would use
the letter Of the antitrust laws to
defeat the spirit Of such laws. AT
the same time the Presidents s
course was not calculated to unset

The St. Joseph News styles the
state supreme judges as a ''donble
back-action court" The applica
ton of the term is quite apt, for
the court seems to possess the fac
ulty Of reversing itself whenever
Democratic interests demand it. 1t
is a mistake to assume that SUI
prcme judges in Missouri are elect
ed to pass upon the decisions of the
lower courts. This happens to be
merely an incidental duty, and
their special occupation is to serve
the ends of the Democracy.

the report of this payment comes
the usual hapdoodle from Cover

pie upon the Democratic manage
mcnt of the States finances, and in
the course of his remarks, he allud-
cs again to the State debt as being
an Inheritance from the Republi-
cans. This debt, say the Governor,
chad its origin in the riotous waste
of the securities of the State" by the
Republican party. This is the
usual bumcomb to blind the people
to the facts. The State sindebted-
ness originated with the Demo
cratic party prior to the civil var,
when that l.arty loaned the credit
of the state to various railroad
schemes. According to the figures
given in the Dockery-Allen tinan-
cial exhibit the State debt when
the Republicans took hold of it in
1865 was S43, 1856, ,90S. The Repnb-
licans had nothing to do with the
creation of this enormous indebt-
ness, but received it as an inheri
tance from the Democrats. During
the six years the Republicans were
in power the debt was reduced tc
$50, ,SS9, ,000.' or over fifty per cent
and the Dockery-Allen exhibit
shows that every cent the Repub-
lican party collected for debt re-
duction purposes was properly ap
piled. Since 1870 the Democrat.
have had sole charge of the state
finances and in the interval OF
thirty one years have reduced th'
actual state debt cnly s15, COS, 161
In his exuberance over the fac
that the fund commissioners arr

expended, exclusive of refundin!
bonds, in the reduction of tn
bonded debt and the payment 0
interest" If the taxpayers can Sc

by the Democratic party. Re

sumed it, was not quite $21, 900,
