That Bunko jubilee.

The ring is plainly glad that Its
bunko celebration on alleged debt
payment is over. Soon after the
call was issued the idea was seen
to be mistake, but the step had
been taken and could not be re-
tractea. The jubilee was the tam
est piece of opera bouife ever seen
in the state. Nobody was there
except the chief ringsters and their
favorites. The people gave the
occasion no notice whatever. When
the governor spoke of the ''com-
plcte extinguishment Of the bond
ed debt of the state he kept out
of sight the highly important fact
| that 81, 800, 900 of the bonded debt
had been converted by Democratic
| administrations into a perpetual
debt. on which taxpayers must
furnish $25O,O00 a year interest. In
praising the line of Democratic
governors for debt payment since
1872, Gov. Doekery left out one
whom he personally dislikes. The
| jubilee was an extremely select af-
fair even in the treatment of its
own party.
Fiction was the stock in trade OF
the fake jubilee. The Republican
members of the Legislature i'm
proved the day by issuing an ad
dress to the public in which the
truth about Democratic financia
management in the state was speci
fically set forth. Exact figures
arc furnished and no answer is ask
cd for, if any be possible. A dis
crepancy of sl2,ooo,ooo in th'
states bookkeeping during th'
Democratic period is charged, no
vaguely, but with mathematics
precision. ''If those estimates ar
wrong" say the Republican mem
bers of the legislature, ''pleas
state wherein? If they are right
please state what has been don
with the money" Missouri will
hold genuine jubilee some da.

ring that blocks the way to Iegis
lative examination of the book

BEYOND ALL COMPARISON.

One of the many factors contrib
uting 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. In 1904 there will be held
the greatest Worlds Fair in the
world. The presidential campaign
will also take place. To keep in
formed with the whole world you
should subscribe at once for that
peer of newspapers, The twice-a-
week St. Louis Republic. 1t is in
dispensible to the farmer, mer-
chant or professional man. Its
telegraphic and cable service excels
that of any other paper. 1t
prints the news fully; not imagin-
ative occurrences, but domestic
and worldwide facts. 1t is Demo
cratic in politics, bnt distinctly a
national newspaper and family
journal. The subscription price
of sI.0O gives you two papers each
week, 104 papers year.

opposes the Jefferson Club election
bill, intended to repeal the Nesbit

the subject the Senator says:

The House at Jefferson City last
Friday voted to Indefinitely post
pone the free text book bill, and
this action wrought Speaker White
cotton to take the floor and open
ly assert that the defeat of the bill
was caused by lobby Doodle. Later
he appointed a committee to inves
tigate the Doodle charge. The
speaker claimed he had personal
knowIegc of the fact that one men,
Der had been offered 800 to vote
against the postponement, but he
does not name any names. Posi-
bly, the investigating committee
may disclose tho guilty persons,
but the record of party in power
shows that such Investigations have
80 far been futile. The Demo
cracy of Missouri has more than
once given evidence that it is tine
tured with lobby and Doodle in
fluence, and that it cannot afford
to throw too much light on this de-
leotable subject. Two years ago a
senatorial committee undertook to
mako an investigation of public af-
fairs in the city of St. Louis. The
probe had hardly been inserted
when it touched the Democratic
weak spot and the investigation
was called off at once. Later came
tho Cardwell case and the payment
of q "dignitied sum- to save the
reputation Of the Democratic par
ty. Throughout the present ses-
sion of the Legislature that "alum
taste," which is generally regarded
rs another term for bood!ing, has
prevailed among the Democratic
members, who have not hesitatcd to
charge each other with being SC
attainted.
