CONTEMPLATING AN ALLIANCE.

Judge Rassieur's frank explanation affords a per
feet key to the antboodle attitude of certain Re
publican element and its representative newspapers
The Judge lays bare the viewpoint Of the Republican
politicians and all unwittingy, exposes their
for insistence upon Doodle In the light of his
remarks the reform" cry seems to be hollow pre-
tension
Il venture the opinion" he says. shat Folk will not
be the Democratic nominee. The Democratic machine
will not permit it II it can help it. If Folk is not nomi
mated the Republicans will sweep the State; and If he
Is the Democratic machine will help to beat him."
The practical philosophy fairly deducibe from these
suggestions Is that the Republicans insist upon
the Doodle issue; rst for the purpose Of preventing
Folks nomnation-in other words, for the purpose Of
eggng on the Butler and allied gang elements; second
~, looking toward coalition Of the Republican polit
ica forces with the Butler elements in the event of
Folks nomination. Thus the Doodle issue will be
urged the very purpose Of defeating the ends OF
reform.
In supporting Folk prosecutor of boodlers these
politicians laying the foundation for attack In
the event that any other man represents the Demo-
cratic party these supporters will bark back their
attitude-whch Judge Rassieur haively demonstrates
to be wholly insincere and inspired by politics only
In the event that Folk himself is the nominee his pres
ent Republican supporters" will attempt to beat him
with the aid Of the enemies they now melting
against HIM. In brief, they playing the enemies
Of reform both ways.
Their position now Is virtually that Of alliance with
the Doodle element-an alliance under cover Their
future position will depend upon how successfully they
utilize the Doodle element now; and their present
position looks to open alliance with the Doodle eie
ment in future. The Judges words fairly admit Of
this interpretation
The open revelation Of the plan OF action does not
come as a surprise. To many the course Of conduct
followed by the Republican politicians and press has
been clearly explicable upon the hypothesis which
Judge Rassicur furnishes. But his exposition will
conclusively dspel the mystery for those who have
not understood the policy from the beginning.
Missouris best citizens of either party arrayed
against Doodle and insisting upon the Doodle issue
upon principle: and the better class Of Republican
voters viii repudiate the policy Of the political lead
ers'' now demonstrated unquestionably they viii
bear in mind the explanation of Judge Rassieur.

All honor to that brave country Democrat Jewett

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION.

Mississippi Levee improvement has come to be
matter Of vital moment in what may be termed the
upper district that north OF Cairo Lowlands both in
Illinois and Missouri part Of the Mississippi bot
toms which compose the richest agricultural belt in
the United States. 1t is the upper district which is
most In need Of levees though engagements and addi
tiohs urgently required in the South The heavy

vac amply demonstrated last June. Even now, with
the Kaw and Upper Missouri rapidly rising. and oil
the Iowa streams swollen danger is again threatened
With these facts in mind, the local importance of the
approaching Mississippi River improvement and Levee
Association convention Is readily perceived.
The delegates are to assemble in October at New
Orleans. The general purpose OF the meeting is to
inEugurate steps toward securing more inclusive
control Of the river by the National Government both
a 10 waterway and ms to levees. The burden OF ex
pense IN construction Of evees thus far has fallen
upon property In special ievee districts Vast
sums hnve been expended with satisfactory results
The Government, on the hypothesis that restraining
tho water is part Of improving the waterway, has
malntenance. But it is patent that the strip
ef leyec districts cannot afford the building of such
er3M ridges ms are necessary TO withstand perfectly
the annual deluSe Of the Father Of Waters 1t is pat
ent also that the entire Of the Mississippi water
uAed, amounting to very nearly onehalf Of the
ny. should be interested. The owners OF property
which il benefited should be compelled to contribute
reasonable proportion Of the cest but good reason
exists in all fairness that the Government complete

other Seaboard outlet for Western crops, more cs-
pecialy Yields together the interests of the entire Mid
