MISSOURI HISTORY.

a dispatch from Washington
City dated April 10, says: At th,
meeting of the Missouri Society thi.
evening, Champ Clark told mum
Der of stories, which were well re.
ceived by Missourians present
lie said There is no reason
why you young men should not
come to Congress some day but you
will not if you hang around here.
Go back home.
when VIM. Treloar beat me foi
Congress in 81, | came to the con
clusion that almost any man in
Missouri could he elected if he
wanted to be.
Missouri was the first and only
state to be for two whole years UNI
represented i'll the Senate. That is
the record Gov Price never thought
himself entitled to fill vacancy by
appointment, and in 'G3 the Sen
ate debated the question for six
weeks. Yet Quay was almost seat
ed later, lacking only one vote.
1.-THE first two Senators MisSou-
ri had were Barton first and then
Benton tho most Missonrians be-
lieve Benton came first. David
Barton was elected to the Senate
unanimously. He was the choice
of every member of the Legislature
but things were very much dis
turbed then. The Legislature
could not decide upon the man to
give the scnatorship to. Finally it
was left to Barton to name his
colleague. Barton selected Benton.
Even then so great was the wran-
gle there was IL deadlock for weeks.
In the midst of this state of af-
fairs, Daniel Rails, II member of
the Legislature, was i'll in bed in
his room in the old st. Louis Hotel
in which the Senate met. He
heard of the fight, called some
friends and had his bed carried
down into the Legislative hall He
east his vote, and in this manner
Thomas Benton went to the United
States Senate.
Rails was carried back to his
apartments and in an hour was Il
dead man. Benton and Barton
drew straws and Barton who had
been unanimously elected drew the
short term while Benton went to
the Senate for six years.
Barton had IL falling out with
President Jackson and it ruined
him. Slavery ruined Benton, as
it ruined many other men"

A writer observes that one of the
most hopeful indications Of the
times is the large increase of or
ganization for the promotion OF
kindness to animals. The rcliet
to II long suffering votelesS and
voicelcss class is immense, but
apart from the promotion Of the
well-being of the animal world
over which man has dominion, the
inference that those with criminal
proclivities must draw-that if
they are not permitted to abuse the
so-called lower animals, how much
less is it permissible to abuse their
wives, children and neighbors-is
bound to promote good conduct and
to suppress crime.

Result of Imperialism.
Editor Of the MESSAGE.

To the Editor Of the MESSAGE.
One of the most unaccountable
things in the history of the coun-
try is that in the United States, in
the year 1902 there should be II
dominent party in this government
advocating the policy and princi-
pies of Imperialism, the identical
principles against which our faith
ers of the Revolution fought. Who
could have believed three years
ago that today, the President and
party in power, would he advOcat-
ing the policy of George III i'll
III, and that III one of our DEEPEN
denotes the military authorities of
our country would be carrying out
to the letter the identical policy of
the cruel and much abused Gen.
Weyler in Cuba in 1898; which is
also being practiced by the British
in South Africa.
We refer to the reconcentrado
policy of Gen. Bell in the Philli-
pines. 1t ought to bring the blush
of shame to the face of every libcr-
ty loving American.
That Americans could ever be
brought to the point of starving
women and children in order to
compel husbands and fathers to de-
sist in their fight for liberty is al
most past belief; yet such is the
fact. Read the following:
The Detroit News-Tribune pub
lished an article by Lieut.. j. l..
kraemer of the 3Sth L. s. volun-
tcer infantry. In the article the
lieutenant snccrs at the "kid glove

vailed in the PHILIPPINES, and is
gratiied that the Filipinos "me to
be given IL taste of real war;. He
thus Describes the devastation of
the country:
We set fire to all the houses and
barracks and destroyed the crops.
We could trace the advance of our
troops by the burning villages.
Occasionally we would hear firing
and we knew our men were killing
the water buffalo, the only draught
animals the Filipinos have.
1t was Il pitiful sight when they
began to come in. They came in
drovcS, each woman carrying her
food and what belongings she had
been able to take with her, in
bundle, and many of them were
carrying babies us we'll.
They had been obliged to leave
their water buffalocs behind them
when they left their homes, aud
AS these auimals are their sole
means of transport, they had to
travel on foot.
And now the buffaloeS had be EN-
slaughtered by thousands and
We're scattered all over the country.
