Rd ok to the Old Farm.

One of the distinct features Of
the age is the tendency to return
to agriculture. Where few wears
ago the farmer boys were rushing
cities to crowd the professions,
there is Il decided move according
to the Chicago Packer: in ,Ae other
direction. The natural reaction
that must always follow move
ment so radical in some measure.
accounts for the disposition to re-
turn to the soil for a livelihood
The agriculturist has become q
professional man so to speak. The
college and the university have
added Especial course for his bcne
fit and given him a degree. He is
a botanist and chemist, and
science has taught him to take in
the faded and worn out farm. and
with intelligence cause it to bios
som like rose. The dispiriting
labor which bent the form of the
elders and sent the lads scurryinc
citywara has been IIehtened by de-
vices that better accomplish The
end sought.
The long hours are shortened
and the farmer finds time to in
dnlge IN the enjoyments of life.

The Democratic press Of this
state Is laying stress upon the al
legged fact that Republican success
| in Missouri at the recent election
was only accomplished through
80, 900 Democrats remaining away
from the polls. Admitting this to
be true. why did not these Demo-
Gratis vote and what will he their
course in the future. The incen-
tiye for Democrats to fail to vote
in Missouri was supplied by that
party. lis sudden reyerslon III
policy on the money question dis
guSted many, and the utter and
reckless disregard shown by the
old state ring in eliminating from
the party such men as had been
convincingly shown to be associated
in Doodle deals with individuals
and corporations, was the milestone
around the neck of the party that
dragged it down to defeat. These
$4,000 stayut- home Democrats
had had proof enough against
their own party to condemn it in
their minds, and they have put it
up to the Republicans to give them
an improvement upon the methods
of the old regime. Now, whether
they will restore the Democratic
party to their confidence depends
largely upon the use the Republi-
cans will make Of the power
that has been given them. Not
only will the eyes Of the Republic
can voters be upon the conduct of
that party in the management Of
the states affairs. but the ewes Of
10000 stay at-home Democrats al
so. If the Republicans carefully
and conscientiously fulfill the mis-
sion that has been laid upon them,
then we believe that in the future
the most of those stay-at home
Democrats will become Republic
cans and will vote to retain that
party in power in the state. There
fore, when the Republican party
goes into power in Missouri with
the beginning of the new year it
should hold above all other CON
siderations the idea that they are
there for the purpose of giving the
state an honest government. We
must win the confidence of the
stay -at-homes during the next two
years, or they will come forth in
1906 and oyerwhclm us with their
righteous wrath.

There is some talk just now of
the President calling IN extra ses-
sion Of Congress early next year
for the purpose OF revising
the tariff. 1t seems a little odd
that 30 soon after the people had
overwhelmingly endorsed the
'*stand pat" idea as to the question
of a tariff for protection there
should be talk of revision. We
think Congress should be thorough
" sure of its ground-sure that
the people want lower tariff duties,
before it goes ahead along that
line. The immense increase in the
Republican lead in the next House
is expressive of nothing so much
as that the people are fully salts
fed with the Dingley tariff law.

The Worlds Output of Gold

While the worlds production Of
gold for 1903 was the heaviest on
record there is no doubt bnt that
the production Of 1904 will greatly
exceed that of last year. The
Transvall. Cripple Creek and Aus
tralla have i'll the past been the
chief sources CT the worlds gold
supply. The production Of the
TransvalI for the first six months
of the year amounted to $50, ,000,-
900. This indicates production
Of at least $16,0O0,O0O for the
year. The largest production was
in 1898, being $79, $4,000. Grip
pie Creek is now producing at the
rate of over $4,000, 1000 monthly
and Australia is steadily gaining
in output. There is reason to be-
lieve that the worlds gold output
for 1904 will amount to 1850, ,0OO,- =
600. While this great production
no doubt involves the danger of a
"ye'Iow peril akin to the silver
peril from which the United States
only recently emerged. there is no
denying the fact that the enormous
output of gold during the past ten
years and the greater production
that seems assured for years to
come, will have prodigious effect
upon the business and speculative
activities of the leading nations of
the globe.

SOme of our Democratic friends

action of the Democratic party the
law of supply and demand could
easily be overcome. Mr.. Bryan

REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Jefferson City. Mo-, June Assistant
Attorney General Sam B. Jefreys to-day
fled in h Supreme Court an amended
information in the case of the Attorney
General against the st. Louis Terminal
pany from doing business in the State for
an alleged violation of the State statutes
in owning and operating parallel lines In
the State.
The amended information states that
the Terminal Railway Association is at
present engaged In operating parallel and
competing lines Of railway between st.
Louis and East st. Louis. and maintain
ing the so-called bridge arbitrary.
The amended petition charges the de-
PENDANT railway company with operating
lines over the two st. Louis bridges. while
the previous application for a writ Of
custer merely charged the company with
operating ines of parallel railway in the
City Of St. Louis and entirely within the
State Of Missouri.
The Supreme Court recently decided
against the Attorney General in the GUST
er proceedings against the railway COM
pany, holding by a vote of foul to three
that the railroad company did not violate
the State statutes in operating parallel
lines, as the Terminal Railway differed
from regular lines of railway.
A motion for rehearing. Of the case was
filed by the Attorney General. and at the
last sitting of the court this motion was
overruled. The new information brings
the matter up In a different light, and is
considered a stronger ground for action
than the previous proceeding. which was
turned down by the court.

Just how the feud started is not known

who was formally Miss Florence Pullman,
because the latter did not show her as
much social attention as Mrs. Yates be-
lieved she deserved.

convention met May u.
To another she said: Mrs. Lcwden will

1t was noticeable during the convention
hat the two women held aloof from each
other, although both were in the hall
daily, while the wives of the other a n

gether. the best of friends.
Both Yates and Lowden belonged to the
organization and were expected to

have gone beyond our Interpretation OF the
law. but the law granting the issuance Of such
permits seems to s 80 vague that 1t is not
within the province Of the Building Commits
sioner to refuse them. We. therefore. recon-
mend that our municipal bodies give the matter
their immediate attention.
GROSS NEGLIGENCE.
Here we find a want of interest and apparent
gross negligence in the proper and prompt
service OF capiases and subpenaes, allowing
such papers to accumulate in large numbers
for lack OF ordinary diligence in the obtaining
OF service on such parties, for no apparent good
reason.
CoRoNER'S OFFICE.
Al present we fnd this office In most excellent
condition, the petty thievery heretofore exist
ing having been eliminated. In our Judgment,
however, this position should be filled by some
one who would give his entire attention to its
management, as We. consider the office a most
important, one in the proper conduct of the
affairs of the city.
The Grand Jury commended the administra-
ton Of the City Hospital by John Young
Brown, and Of the City JAN Ivy Jailsr James
Dawson.
The Grand Jury says;
Under the existing order Of the appointment
Of Judges and clerks Of election. we find a
most pernicious system, a great many ap-
pointees being entirely devoid OF. the proper
qualifications for the trustworthy. performance
Of their duties. Something radical should be
done to remedy this state Of affairs"
The Jurors say that I'VE have a great deal Of
praise to bestow" on the Police Department.
but they condemn the signing Of applications
for appointments on the force by persons hold
ing office under the City Government. especial
fy members Of the House Of Delegates, Con-
stables and court clerks. and by .disreputabIe
dramshop keepers" They also say. ''the mat
ter of removal Of garbage could be more thor
oughly looked after II reported by the Police
Department"
The Grand Jury gave a vote of thanks to
Assistant Circuit Attorney W. Scott Hancock,
been made.
CONCERNING THE SHERIFF.
Concerning the mention Of the Sherirs
office in the Grand Judy report Chief
Deputy Peter J. Schilling said:
81 have only this to say respecting the
criticisms OF the Sherif's Office. contained
in the Grand Jury report:
mo member of the Grand Jury will
dare to publish, as an individual. what he
has. signed while protected by his official
position as a Grand Juryman.
''It is an easy and sometimes a coward |
ly matter to make careless and unfounded
criticisms when no responsibility is at
tached 70 he person making them 1t Is |
quite a different matter when one must
substantiate his charges or suffer the. con-
sequences.
AS the matter stands. I am without re-
course. The Grand Jury. in making. the
criticism. condemns and leaves the vic |
tim no right OF appeal. As to the facts, !
I will say this:
The capiases which I am charged with
not serving are u as the one against
