DISCREPANCIES IN STATE FISCAL REPORTS.

After all, Destiny was good to the peo-
pie of Missouri when it decreed that the
Dockery administration should engage New
York and Chicago experts to make an en-
hibit of the financial transactions of the state
since 1871. 1t was presumed at that time
that AN exhibit, or report, would be made to
order and that alleged discrepancies in
the reports of state fiscal officers would be
satisfactorily explained" 1t transpires,
however, that the Dockery-A llen-N New York
Chicago experts exhibit, entitled missouri
Finances proves that large discrepancies
do actually exist when state auditors and
state treasurers' reports are compared. The
startling fact is indisputably established
that state auditors and state treasurers' re-
ports do not agree in their statement OF the
disbursement of the peoples money from
and its receipts into the state revenue fund.
The discrepancies aggregate hundreds of
thousands, if not millions, of dollars. Over
payment of interest on the state bonded debt
is also proved by the Dockery-Allen PAM
phlet, or exhibit. Furthermore, it is shown
that state bonds. stolen from the state treas
ury, were used twice in the face of u con-
stitutional Injunction. The state interest
fund is proved to have been m%isapplied, as
well rs the state school fund. ut heavy cost
to the taxpayers. And it mnst he remem-
bered that all these state funds were created
by the constitution for II specific purpose,
and for no other, designed to best protect
the PEOPLES money and the peoples credit
from just such expensive Juggling and
misuse as has been proved beyond questson.

THE HARVEST IS RIPE.

1t is n promising omen for the political
future of our great state that Republicans
everywhere are becoming interested to n
and earnest part in party work, while thou
sands of our Democratic friends. who consti-
tute the better element of their party, have
become sufficiently Interested, and annouced
publically that hereafter they will vote indie
pendently and for the best interests of the
state rather than stick with hidebound te-
nacity to the Democratic party and their an
Gent prejudices.
The people of this state, irrespective of
party utilization. are aroused to the need of
the hour, they have come to the turning
point and the parting of the roads. The
great work of redecming Missouri is at
hand. There is room in the Republican
band wagon for every Democrat who desires
honest government. The harvest is ripe,
and Nesbitism and Tammanyism must be
wiped out in Missouri.
For many long years II Republican
press and Republican speakers have tod
their Democratic friends of the Juggling
and transportation of state funds, of the
looting of the state treasury, of the unjust
and unequal taxation by Democratic state
boards, of the total disappearance of a sa-
cred school fund. of the violation of the
constitution, of the prostitution of our legis-
~latures by a corrupt lobby in the service of
corporations, and the absolute control of
this commonwealth by an INSCRIPTIONS and
heartless gang. All this earnest appeal and
convincing proof to Missouri Democrats,
up to here, has been utterly f~ruitless, but
there are evidences abroad in the land that
it will no longer be so. With the revelations
q in the Cardwell case, sworn to by simon
, pure Democrats and leaders in the party, the
y eyes of the people have been opened, and
with the testimony before them, they nave
become Thoroughly convinced that there is
r something mighty rotten in Denmark and
they propose to take a hand hereafter in the
affairs of the state. Surely the harvest is
b ripe for the scythes of Republican reapers
in Missouri. -Clayton Advocate.

The object of the Commercial Club in
taking a new rock road subscription is to
cancel the old and take the new one with
the understanding that the money will be
applied on any road leading into town on
which the most money can be raised from

subscription was solicited with the under
standing that the money would be used on

Every once in awhile one reads in

leak of a piece of news which It was
not desired should be given out at that

Washington correspondent, "and with

Summary Of Past Three DAYS Of
War Along New England Coast.
SearchIight Useless"

U. S. Ship Alabama, off Block Is
land Sept. 4.-With no Official decis-
ions yet declared. a summary of the
past three days Of war work carried
on by the navy as against the army
along the New England coast shows,
from the point of view of the warships
that the navy has taken the prepon-
derance of points. Twice Admiral
Higginson's squadron has been victor
ious, but once it has almost signally
failed, and early Monday morning by
stratgetic movement the squadron
captured the signal station on Block
Island, thereby establishing a naval
base at which the fleet may rendez-
vous at any time. A valuable wireless
telegraphic outlay also was seized by
the bluejackets from the Alabama as
we'll as a book which the signal corps
failed to destroy in their haste to es-
cape, conta.Aing a text of all the sig
nails established by the army.
On Tuesday the navy was less sue
cessful. In fact, constructive disaster
came to a part at least Of Rear Ad-
miral Higginson's squadron. Intend
ing to reduce the batteries on Plum
Island and Gardner's Point, the squad
ron, in two sections, ran close TO the
shore just at dawn. Army searchlights
failed conspicuously TO locate the en-
emy. Admiral Higginson's ships later
were shelled. at first by the smaller
shore batteries, and later, getting far
'Ienough out to come within range of
the big mortars, receiving a charge
of projectiles, hurled from the army's
