There was great blow about the
charge Of Judge Powell to the grand
jury of Kinds county. He said in
bold type that he wantded the jury to
thoroughly Investigate the case
wherein it was supposed that some if
not all the bankers Of Jackson had
violated the law by using money be-
longing to the state. If the jury ever
investigated this matter we have
never heard of it. Besides this is the
plain case of the state VS.. Banker
Rush which has been on trial the
past few days turns out to be farce,
as the Progress predicted several days
ago. When a man directly charged
and who has already been indicted
with violating the laws of the state
in using the funds of the state with
out authority is acquitted it could not
be reasonably supposed that a grand
jury would indict anyone else guilty
of the same offense. While there was
a big blow about Judge Powell s
charge to the grand jury of Kinds af-
ter all it was nothing more than
wind. The judge may have been
honest and conscientious, but grand
juries these days cannot be depended
upon TO convict.

SAYING AND DOING.

Congressman Babcock is reported
by the Chicago Tribune as saying:
If the republican party fails to re-
deem its pledges to do something to
regulate the trusts and revise such
portions of the tariff as have become
burdensome, the constituencies will
become distrustful of rs, and the ten
dency to break away from the party,
which has begun TO be, apparent in
the cities, will continue.
IF we redeem our pledges, as a
reasonable, conservative antitrust
law, and weed out of the tariff every
thing which tends to create a mo-
nopoly, the republican party will be
returned to power by the people be-
yond shadow of doubt Otherwise
not.''
Congressman Bsbcock, however, is
in the habit of saying one thing about
the tariff before campaign and un-
saying it during the CAMPAIGN. This
is one thing that can be counted on to
say during the campaign of next year.
New Orleans States.
If the republican party could do
half what is reported by Congressman
Babcock it would get along pretty
we'll. But it will do nothing regard
ing the trusts. That has been thor
oughly demonstrated by every con-
gress that has met where the republi-
cans were in the majority They
growI and show their teeth, but that

Local dealers estimate that patriotic St.
Louis will burn up 10000 in celebrating
the Fourth of July. The stock of fireworks
purchased TO supply the trade between this
and Saturday is larger by good deal than
that Of any previous year.
Mayor Wels's order forbiddinx the dis
charge of fireworks without his permission
in certain districts of the city does not seem
to have lessened the demand upon the
wholesale houses.
To the timid individual who threatens to
restrain his patriotism because of the ex-
ecutive injunction, the vender of fireworks
confident.al!y advises that such orders are
Issued every year, and that it is not meant
to stop altogether the time-honored custom
Of celebrating.
This assurance usually has the desired
effect, and the patriotic one departs with
his arms laden with noise-making devices
which will delight Young America as long
IS sQuib remains
ESTIMATE Is CONSERVATIVE
e. J. Einsley of the St. Louis Fireworks
Company says that,the demand from the
retail dealers has been stronger this year
than before, and that in the neighborhood
of $4,000 will be spent by St. Louis persons
in celebrating the Fourth.
II. F. FabriciUs OF the FabTicius Toy and
Notion Company, who is supplying large
part OF the retail trade, said that the figure
mentioned by Mr.. Bingle would be q very
conservative estimate OF local enthusiasm
as expressed in fireworks.
One of the new devices for noise-making
old-fashioned cane discharges only nne cap.
but the new one will shoot twenty-five
times without -eloading. 1t will be one Of
the novelties this Fourth.

FEW NEW CREATIONS.
New creations in rockets, spindles and
fountains are on sale but they differ very
little from those sold in former years In
the matter of fireworks the celebration will
be very much like previous ones.
Chief Of Police kiely said last night that
the Mayors order regarding the discharge
that persons would have to procure per
mission before they would be allowed to use
explosives in celebra ting.
1t is not understood that there Is any OBJ
lection to the discharge of small frecrack-
ers by children or night display of rockets
in the residence districts. but in. no case
weapons be permitted.
Complaint has been made of tho prema-
ture discharge of cannon crackers. This Is
in violation of the city ordinance and per-
sons may be prosecuted. Policemen have
been ordered to stop this nuisance.
Limited permission is allowed for harm

care to see that there is no abuse Of the
privilege.

discharge of fireworks on certain premises
