TIN MURPHY.

In Washington the principal thing
OF interest about man is where he
Is from. Everybody there is from
somewhere else. 1t is for this rea-
son that the very title of the comedy
in which genial Tim Murphy is to be
seen next week dsclosns the fact
that 1t Is a Washington play. The
new comedy is called The Man From
Missouri" and Mr. Murphy is to
be seen as a native westerner 10
Washington. The play is the Joint
production Of George V. Hobart,
author of :Dinkolspiel" and John
Henry" and L 4. Rose who has done
so many stage adaptions of the best
selling books of he past few years
IS was to have been expected the
production of these two brilliant
writer's is thoroughly bright, at
tractige and fascinating play. 1t is
built Oh broad and generous lines in
point of production and Mr.. Murphy
brings many handsome scene. and

The meeting of the c. F. & |. Co.

next, the 18th instant, and there is
no doubt but what the financial plans
outlined by the Rockefeller Gould

At any rate the controlling inter-
ests are going ahead with their plans
for running the steel works and are
not awaiting the time of meeting,
feeling confident that everything is
settled before hand.
Gradually and by degrees the steel
works are opening up and within the
next thirty days great change will
be seen. 1t might be two months
before everything is running full

before that time. n

THROW OPEN THE DOORS.

In many things the Republican party will have
ample opportunity in Missouri to show that their
campaign talk Of modern, high-class administration
and wholesome conduct in public affairs was not
mere pretense: and in nothing is the opportunity
more distinctly presented than in the matter Of the
senatorial caucus. Here is the chance to lcncn-
strate party mettle
Bottled-up cauruscs and secret ballots behind
closed doors have been Republican disgrace here
ofcre, contrasted with the open orderly and
dignifed sessions OF the Democrats: and at this

not minority honor. closed caucus would be

PAN-AMER1CAN RELATIONS.

The Latin-American Club and Foreign Trade AS
sociation contributed to The Sunday Republic a
timely letter on the opportunities Of st. Louis in the
South. As a result Of the Worlds Fair the bust
ness men OF the United States and of the Southern
American countries understand each other and are
ready and willing to establish better relations. To
friendship or trade no barriers exist and there is
chance to form powerful and mutually advantage
OTIS commercial union.
Until the Worlds Fair attracted representative
men and standard wares from the ambitious coun-
tries Of the South, Germany appeared to have the
advantage with few OF the principal peoples. The
German influence was due evidently to two causes.
The primary cause was German immigration and
colonization and German energy at commercial con-
Citation. The additional cause was misunder-
standing Of American political motive. But, al
| though the German Emperor lately was Designated
to be the arbiter in matter between two Of the
Governments, there Is certainty that the World
Fair has dissipated former differences. prejudces
and misconceptions and has created real amity be
tween the United States and the Southern American
countries.

CUT DOWN THE cLERksH1ps


Less politics and more service is good rule for
the Missouri Republican party, il happily it can be
induced to act the principle.
Apropos, remark of Representative Burk-
hardt's deserves public attention and Endorsement:
I'VE Republicans win be held responsible in the
House. That being the case it is up to us to keep
down the clerical force to a reasonable limit
And reasonable limit is forty men, If pri.
vate business corporation with an eye to economy
were conducting the affairs Of the House it might
get along with twenty. But, making some allow
ance for politics, forty clerks should easily do the
work
II the Republicans do cut down the clerical force
they may reasonably and fairly claim to have
worked q reform.
It must be admitted that the 40 clerks which
the Democratic pay roll carried were more than
would be found necessary by a strictly economical
administration Al to the naming OF clerks the
Ds1nocrattc party pursued . traditional policy
which was not seriously questioned, and the Re
publican msubas ehsesfulty participated therein.
It 10 unfortunate that the Democrats left the re
trenehing for their opponents to do but if the lat
ter promptly accept the responsibility they will re
