MAJ REPuBLIcAN sTATE eONYENTION.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION,
The ticket nominated by the re-
publicans at St. Joseph this week is
a stronger one than the republicans
have put in the field for many years.
1t indicates that the party has higher
hopes than usual 1t also indicates
that the republicans expect to con-
duct a fighting campaign, from which
they have everything to lose and
nothing to gain. This is the year
for them to make a still hunt. But
they evidently expect to make a
"campaign Of education. Walbridge
and HadleY are particularly fine
speakers and several Of the Others are
first rate takers. A platform has
been adopted consisting in part Of
discarded planks Of the democratic
platform. The whole declaration is
in the form of criticism and counter
charge, With the faulty that seems
to characterize that party in this
state an assault is evidently preparing
against the democratic breGstwOrks,
which can have no other effect than
to bring about democratic unity end
republican defeat.
The folly Of the first declaration OF
the republican platform about state
debt and the management Of state
finances is almost incredible. AS
often as this question has been
threshed over and as often as the
republicans have been discounted on
this issue, they still cling to the
delusion that the people can be
about it. They still point
out the blacklist chapter 10 republic
can history in Missouri and stand
upon it as a proud party record.
There is nothing which democrats
will so welcome as this unnecessary
issue. II the republicans will press
this matter hard enough, the demo-
cratic majority this year will be
like.

OPPORTUNITY.

The Lafayette county democracy is
ia a position to make a record for
itself. In no other county in the
state is there greater unity and
harmony. In no other county in the
state has the campaign left 30 few
wounds. There was no lack Of inter
est in the county, but the forces of
both sides fought fair. There was
no money sent into this county and
spent In the interest of any ca2di
date. The state campaign was not
allowed to get mixed up with the
county campaign. There were sew
eral warm contests-Over the election
of committeeman, ove the primary
proposition, over the instruction Of
delegates. All Of these contests were
conducted decently and 10 good
spirit. There was no revolution in this
county. The people proceeded in this
campaign according to the plans
they have consistently followed for
twenty-five years. While some Of
the city counties, like Jackson, St.
Louis and Buchanan, and some of the
rural counties, like Audrain, Howard
and Saline, are rent with bitter feuds,
Lafayette county remains in an ami
able frame Of mind.
This situation affords an admirable
opportunity for the Lafayette county
democracy to distinguish itself. 1t
is possible for this county to give the
largest majority comparatively Of any
county In the state. And 1t ought
to do this for the national, state and
county tickets. Our campaign speak
6 ers ought to branch out into other
+ districts, 1t will be easy for us to
Z make a record that will tell for
Lafayette countY's ambitious sons IN
the future. The county is in position
+ to take a commanding place among
Il the rural counties of the state, anC
" the local party leaders should haster
q to grasp this advantage.

The MlssIonary,s Dilemma.

From the New York Tribune.
 A capital story has been told by an American missionary who has just ar rived in London from Korea. The diff culty of learning the language of that country Is increased enormously owing to the large number of words which, with a slight infection of the voice, are used over and over again with an entirely diff ferent meaning. The missionary in ques- ton was preaching to some natives, and assuring them that. unless they repented they would go to place of punishment. Amusement rather than terror was writ ten on the faces of his oriental listeners. Why on earth, if they rejected his ad- vice and refused to repent, should they be dispatched-to the local postoffice! 1! On another occasion a lec,ure was de- livered, in the course of which a beauti- full moral was being drawn from the gay career of the tiny butterfly, which was suddenly cut short in the clutches of the spider. The smile, however. fell somewhat short of its intended meaning. and 1t was not until the laughter had subsided that the lecturer became aware that the victim which had been founder ing amid the dainty silken threads of the web was a donkey, which in the Korean language 1t appears, is synonymous with butterfly.

New Phrase Discovered.

"As a rule press agents are accused or many transgressions against the English language, but I think I found the worst the other day in the advance notice of well known actress who will be at the Jefferson next week." said a theatre-goer last night Tn making a glowing allusion to the triumph of this great actress in New York, the industrious press agent re- marked that she had achieved an artistic success, and had brought all New York to enthuse' at her shrine. Just what he meant by that phrase is rather hard to say. Whether the operation was pleas ant to the actress or the contrary was not stated but I judge from the con- text that 1t was intended to express the admiration with which she was held in Gotham.
 This is merely an example The av- craze press agent does such violence to the English language that 1t is painful to a sensitive person. These agents seem to be particularly proud of adjectives. It makes no difference how barbarously the words sound, quantity. not quality counts. It seems to be the ambition of some of these fellows to see just how many extravagant expressions they can of them succeed in manufacturing some wierd rhetorical monstronsities, can as- sure you"

Europe and Asia.

The old, old struggle has come again The strife between the yellow races of Asia and the whte races of Europe is as old as civilization itself. Each is guilty of aggression. The Mongols once reached France. The Arabs once con quered Spain. Later the Mongols seized Russia and held it two centuries. The Turks carried their victorious arms to the gates of Vienna, and today they hold rich provinces in Europe. There is no better soldier than the Turk
 Meredith Townsend, in his new and in some respects remarkable book, thus describes what Europe did in Asia down to recent times:
 It Is evident to me that the white races under the pressure of an entirely new impulse are about to renew their periodic attempt to conquer, or at least to dominate that vast continent (Asia). Alexander of Macedon that supreme
 
 world, made the attempt in order to real ize vainglorious dream. The rulers of the Roman republic renewed 1t in pursu- ance of a steady policy of conquering as much of the world as they could reach, and as might be expected to pay. The Crusaders essayed the task once more In order to rescue the birthand of Chris tianity from the infidel and to found amidst the debris of the eastern empire kingdoms and principalities for high-born men,"
 Five hundred years later, Russia be- gan to seize the cruder, wilder DOT. tions of Asia, and England mastered India, but the hold of neither is ac. cepted by the ruled The present war looks plainly to the complete domina- ton of Asia by Europe. Japan, small as sLe is, Is fighting the battle of all Asia, and Mir Townsend does not think Russia will be able as the outcome of this war to secure the mastery in the Far East. He does not think the pres-
 
 ent war will be decisive Asia and Europe Will be left in their old rela- tions, but If Japan is left free to de- velop China the conquest of Asia by Europe will be indefinitely postponed. If the Slav could conquer the Mon- golians in the Far East his grip upon the rest of the world would be but a matter of time, and 1t would be a grip that no one power could shake off, and that no combination could break un- less indeed the Teutonic race could be brought together in one stupendous effort to fight the battle of Armaged- don.

The district lying about Lineyille and Pyriton is full of py7ites deposits and valuable elays. Lineville is in Clay county.
 The Nashville American rejoices in the development of the Pyriton district because it affords the fertilizer manu- facturers of Tennessee pyrites of good grade which are much needed in com bination with phosphate rock. The Graselli Chemical company of the Bir- mingham district is now manufactur- ing sulphuric acid from pyrites de- posits obtained at Pyriton. Spanish pyrites contain about 30 per cent of sulphur; the Virginia article, about 43 or A per cent, and the Alabama pyrites 46 to 48 per cent.
 If in addition to phosphate rock the south holds ample pyrites deposits rich in sulphur, all needful fertilizing ma- terial is close at hand, and fertilizers can be produced cheaper in Alabama or Tennessee than in any other DOT tion of the country. The subject is one of interest on every southern farm, and the development in the Pyriton district will be closely watched. Bir- mingham, possessing cheap fuel, seems to be the best point at which the phos- phate rock of Columbia, Tenn, and the pyrites deposits of Clay and Talla- dega counties can meet to be combined in high-grade commercial fertilizers for use on cotton farms.
