ONE OF THE BEST.

Encouragement Of municipal affairs and the
achievement Of good government in st. Louis have
brought into prominence few Of great ability
and fine integrity. Public improvements of various
kinds afford material evidences Of reform and incui-
cate desire for more beautiful city. But it is
doubtful whether the citizens and the city will benefit
more from the progress Of public work than they will
from the acts and devotion duty of conscientious
officials.
Circuit Attorney Folk has impressed upon the peo-
pie by his courage and scrupulous performance Of
duty not only the corruption that prevailed in official
life and the need of better in positions Of trust,
but the nobler lesson that good officials reflect honor
On the community. Mayor Wells has merited the
same respect and has given the same inspiration.
To the list might be added dozen, who, as far as
their obligations permit have done comparatively
well as officials who better known and who have
accomplished large results To most Of these officials
The Republic has had opportunity to refer in terms
commentator, as it has, when occasion warranted,
applied blame to whom blame due. In order to
perpetuate good government in order acquaint the
voters with the truth, in order to discourage the pos
sble candidacy Of incompetent men and in order to
encourage good men, whether in office or out Of 1t,
to enter the public service, it is necessary that
mendation and condemnation be distributed as they
are deserved.
Among the good-government officials there is one
Of whom little is said, who is entitled to the
TEEN of all good citizens. Joseph L. Hornsby Vice
Mayor and President Of the City Council is an official
like Messrs. Wells and Folk. He has come before
public attention more prominently of late in
ton with some unusually important legislation
Occasionally he takes the floor in the City Council
in order to oppose measure that he deems antagonis
tic to public interests. He has vetoed bills when
Acting Mayor that were passed by large votes in
both branches Of the Assembly He has not tried to
control patronage to have contracts awarded to
friends He works for the city he does for himself
and seems invariably to be guided by conscience
The effect that the example set by men like Messrs
Wells, Folk, Hornsby and other officials win inevi
tably have the voters will be vastly beneficial The
reform movement in St Louis has, besides producing
good government, brought to public attention good
men, whose acts and personalities will guide the vo-
ters at future elections in eecng of character
worthy of trust and capable With good in
Office good government Is certainty.

Mayor Reed of Kansas City said in his Olcan
speech that the railroad lobby created the boodlers
The railroad lobby is evil enough but there

There were Senators who would have bodied If there
had been nothing to sandbag but widows cows and

BOODLE CASES.

There is a mistake abroad The Washington Post
says that though there have been convictions sur
face indications do not point to the punishment
Missouri boodlers. 1t asks for the opinion Of The
Republic.
OF necessity The Republic cannot have direct In
formation but it believes that all nearly all of the
men now under conviction will receive their punish
ment unless they forfeit their bonds and take Kaz-
leave
By surface indications" the Post may hint at pre-
dictions that the will be reversed by the Su-
preme Court. II that Is the meaning The Republic
reminds the Post that such predictions only the
shallow talk Of partisans.
Three cases have been reversed by the Supreme
Court In two Of the majority of the lawyers
agreed that the Supreme Court did not misinterpret
the law. In the third case there may have been
ground for doubt. These three were held to be the
weakest Of the States cases.
In one Of them the defendant retired and re-
ceiyed severe sentence than before and under
testimony which met the objections Of the Supreme
Court. seems, therefore, practically assured that
this will receive his punishment The defendant
in the second case was tried another charge and
convicted; and the testimony indicates that he will
also be punished &c. in fact the State has lost but
one case; and that the weakest and most doubtful
The Post Gays that Intelligent opinion" in st.
Louis expects the escape Of all but one of the con-

teiligent opinion would be the opinion either Of law
yefs yersed in criminal law or Of persons who have
direct knowledge Of the Supreme Courts views. The
Republic believes that there are no such persons as
these last. II there any competent criminal law

"Many very intelligent people are
deferred from swallowing the seeds OF
berries, grapes and other fruits lest the
Judgment of these small bits OF indiges-
tibleness may induce that dreadful ac-
cident appendicitis" says the Dieteuc
Gazette.
"This fear Is utterly baseless since
the healthy appendix is protected by
n valvular arrangement which pre-
vents even the smallest seeds from en-
tering it. 1t is only after Inflammation
has already destroyed its normal pro-
lection that any foreign substance can
gain access to 1t.
ITO feel compelled TO eschew all
seedy berries and fruits is TO seriously
curtail ones dietary, and it is entirely
unnecessary. In fact, the free and con-
slant use of ripe berries and fruits OF
all kinds is one of the best preventives
Of this dangerous disease"
