One of the many factors con. tributing to the remarkably rapid and solid growth of St. Louis is the marvellous development of the Southwest and other territory trib- utary to that city in all lines of trade.

T4nch law Is becoming more common. The reason IS that causes for it are more frequent. It is seldom that you ever hear e a person being lynched for abeying the laws of the land and giving strict heed to his own business and herein Is an object lesson worth studying. If you desire to keep out of the clutches of the mob. keep out of devil nent. We are not in favor of mob law, at all :; but when cer- tain heIhsh crimes are perpetrat- ed we want the brutes, who commit them. put out of tho world and If they are taken of of the mob we have no sympa- thy for them But as we have laws to punish crime 1t would bt better to let the law take its course.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH KAN
 SAS2

Philadelphia Press.
 The unusual rains and floods that have caused immense losses in the northeastern counties of Kansas have occupied the at tention of the public for few weeks past Millions of dollars in property have been destroyed and scores of lives lost The events have left scar which 1t will need years to effacc and caused a loss that, in some cases lifetime will be needed to re place.
 But there is another side to the picture and more pleasing one to look at It is the inn mense crop of wheat which Kan sas has raised. this year, and which Is now ready for the har- vesters. It will be the greatest t wheat crop Kansas has ever sent to market, surpassing even the bumper" crop of 1901. Six million acres are to be cut over during the next six weeks, and 25. .000 extra laborers are want ed to accomplish the task. There has been no frost or drought or insects to mar the outlook. and the abundance and perfection of the yield make the farmers heart glad. Only some unlocked for setback or scarcity of hands can now alter the bright prospect, and the latter k the greater danger of the two. The need oi help can be illustrated by the Sec'y. of State of Kansas who Is driving his own harvester on his farm because he cannot hire men to do the work.

There are three or four little popin.jay editors in this state, with Prof. affixed to their names, who couldn' spell cat. with a rest, and whose gray matter would be lost inside the shell of a grain of mustard seed, who are using their pigmy powers to array the country people against those who live in the cities and towns. They appeal to the country people to stand by Jeff. Davis, because they claim the people of the cities and towns are against him It Is probably true that vast majority of the citizens of the cities and towns are opposed to Jeff Davis for a third term as Governor of Ark ansas; but does that afford any excuse for the country people to favor his candidacy2
 Has his administration, dur ing his two terms been such as to warrant the overthrowing of precedent. and giving him a longer pull at the public crib than any other man, as Govern or, ever had in Arkansas? Has his administra tiou been eharac- terized with marked ability or pregnant with beneficial results? Is there a single act of his which can be pointed out as unusually clever or particularly grea.?? Let us admit, for argument sake, that he has made as good a Governor as did those who pre ceded him, he has had all that he IS entitled to and all that he ought to have. Arkansas has other sons that deserve recogni- tion and those whom many peo- ple would delight tn honor.

Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhaa.

"A bout six years ago for the first tune in my lite had q sud- den and severe attack nf diar- rhma," says Mrs. Alice Miller, of Morgan. Tex. l got temporary re let, but il came back again and again, and for six long years l have suffered more misery and az ony than 1 can tell. It was worse than death Ny husband spent hundreds of dollars tor physicians prescriptions and treatment with out avail. Finally we movei to Bosque county, our present home, and one day I happened to zee an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who had been cured by il. The case was so similar to my own that concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonder iul. 1 could hardly realize that l WAS well again, or believe t conld be so after having suffered SO so long, but that one bottle of
 
 medicine, costing but few cents, cured me. For sale by Brown, McQuiston 6 Go.

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS

iIdNS bteii ItdulIg NIT. DTN- ans paper, the Commoner, now for sometime, and am especially impressed with his suggestions that Democratic Clubs should be organized all over the coun- try.
 The ideal government is a re- public; but when the people take no interest in 1t, 1t ceases to be one When.the people neglect to supervise and control public af- fairs, the professional politicians take hold and run the govern ment to suit their own interests. It IS needless to say that their interests do not coincide with the interests of the people.
 Moreover, 1t IS but a waste of energy for one to growl and swear at the corruption in gov ernment affairs. There is but one way to cure 1t, and that is by intelligent voting The in- telligence of few is not suffic- ient. It requires the combined intelligence of a healthy maiori- tx One of MT. Bryan's conten- tions IS, that the people as a whole are honest and can be trusted. But they must be in- formed, they must know the sit nation before they can act intel ligentlY. The politicians know this and make 1t their business to keep the people deceived.
 The chief agent of deception is the public press. Nearly all of the most influential papers are now owned and controlled by organized wealth and they are slowly but surely driving out of the public mind nancy of those old time doctrines and ax- ioms of government once held in such high esteem by all the peo- pie
 Mr. Bryan's suggestion is the cure for this. Let the people or ganlze a club or society in every community. and themselves dis lcass iearlessly every question of public interest. As a re- suit the truth will prevail and error will have to hunt it's hole.
 Now let me suggest a few sub lects for discussion, and as the debator says, 1 will leave the question with you.
 Ought the Kansas City Plat form be affirmed in toto?
 Is bimetalism dead issue?
 Is an asset currency preferable to free silver?
 How often should the "Ras- calls" be kicked out?
 Yours Truly,

The Jeff Davis organs or at least about one-tl1ird of the six which are supporting him for a shird term, appear to be very much concerned because the MoNTIcELLoNIAN, sometime ago, when Davis was the only avowed candidate, minated chat the state needed q clean, moral man as a candidate for Governor whom the better ele- ment" of the people could con scientiously support.

GOOD FOR THE COTTON GROWERS.

uODD FUN lllL WI lOt uhO W Lho.
 Farmers could sell cotton right now for October delivery at 9 or 10 cents per pound. and it would, perhaps, be wise in them to make contracts upon that basis for a cer- tain proportion of the crop which they have in sight. If, for in stance, a planter has in cultiva- ton land that usually would yield 200 bales, 1t ought to be safe proposition for him to sell for fu- ture delivery as much as seventy five bales at least. for 1t is hardly possible that his ordinary yield would be reduced to less than so per cent after this season of the year.
 It is almost certainty now sthat the yield will not be so large as to depress cotton prices next fall to anything like the low water mark of former years, but favorable weather, such as we are now hav- ing, will soon cut down present prices considerably. A bird in the hand is worth two in next au- tumn's cotton field, beyond ques- ton.
 It is very questionable whether the sky rocket prices now preYail- ing will be best for the cotton growers of the South in the long run. The effect will be to stimu- late the foreign mill owners, who still buy 75 per cent of the cotton raised in the world, to increased efforts to grow cheaper cotton in Egypt, India, the Congo coun- try, South Africa and elsewhere, and the increased output, thus brought about, will in all proba- bility outrun the growing demand of the worlds consumption.
 Bull Brown and Sky-tosser Sul- ly have created maximum price which will, for this reason, prove injurious in the end, but there is no reason why the cotton planters should not take advantage of it while they can.
 It is not often that the top of the market comes at time when they can profit by it. Those pri- ces usually obtain after the crop has passed out of the hands of the planter and inures to the purse lengthening of the cotton specua- tors. This period seems to be an exception. The farmer who sells to reasonable extent now will be almost certain to find 1t profitable. In any event the aggregate amount received tor cotton by the South is sure to be greater than it ever has been before.
 Even if 1t shall not be more than
  d 10000, GOO bale crop it will bring to the South about s5oo, ,ooo, : 900, and ought to make this sec ton more prosperous than 1t ever has been since the civil war If the price could be kept up and the yield increased as it can be, the opulence of the section would soon astonish the world.-Memphis News.
