PERTINENT QUESTIONS.

The Kansas City Journal is putting to it's Republican brethren of Missouri some very pertinent-if not impertinent-ques- tlcns. There is no doubt that Missouri has to a great extent been very seriously discredited by some of the acts of the Democrats who have had control of the State for years There can be no doubt OF the criminality of many of the off, cials of that State, and if no other evi- dence were forthcoming, the success of MT. Folk in unearthing and indicting the criminals would be sufficient. That he has not been entirely successful in con victing and punishing the criminals is a still stronger evidence of the prevailing crookedness. for the courts and Juries seem to be besmirched as well as other officials.
 All this is true, and it is also true that the best Republicans of the State have sustained Mr. Folk and have materially assisted him in obtaining the nomination foi Governor which now seems assured. But now that they have helped to assure his nomination The Journal wants to know what they are going to do about it? After they have given their support to add him in getting the nomination will they help to elect him. or will they put partisanship before patriotism and give their support to any Reublican who may bs put up by his party? MT. Folk has not tried to ride two horses, or to hide his political feelings. He is a Democrat and doesn't claim anything else. He is run ming for Governor as e Democrat who believes in reform and intends to carry it out wherever 1t is possible to do so and Republicans who vote for him must do so with a full understanding of his politics.

Making Bogus Delegates.

Philadelphia Record
 In spite of the naive protestations or William R. Hearst as to the good tnten, tions of his emissaries and financial agents, there Is no question as to the preparations to manufacture eontestlng delegates to the Democratic National Convention wherever the shallowest pre- text Is offered for a dispute. The modus operandi in this political industry IS simple enough. All that is necessary for the distributors of Hearst poodle IS to corrupt two or three needy and noisy fellows in a district and then send them abroad to loudly proclaim that they alone represent the cause of the people who are in danger of betrayal into the hands of the "moneyed aristocracy. While the masses of the Democracy thor oughly understand and contemn the ar tifice, 1t is enough for the operators 70 make a show of contest in order 10 earn their money.
 A ludiorous case in point is the con- test from the District of Columbia. whose inhabitants have not even the right to choose their municipal officers, much less to participate in an election for President of the United States There the opponents of ell that IS repre- sehted by Bryan and Hearst had no serious diflcultx in electing the six oele-

would. if elected. be likely to carry out needed reforms as Mir. Folk proposes to carry them out, there would be nothing
 wrong in his receiving the support of his party, for that would be both natural and proper If. On the contrary. they should select friend of boodlers for their candidate in the hope that he would ret the votes of that class in both parties it would be up to the respectable Repub- licans to join the Democrats for good government It is for these reasons that The Journals queries are timely and per- tinent.
 There is little reason to douet that the poodle clements among the Democrats are sore over Folk. He has been after them for year or two with pertinaclty and determination that knew no such thing as let-np or compromise, and it Is not wonderful if they should desert their party to vote for Republican from whom they would have nothing to fear. By so doing they would have their revenge on Folk and protect themselves in future. This will be a strong inducement for the Republicans to nominate man of that character so as to control the disgruntled element among the Democrats and get control of the State. If, on the other hand, the leaders put the good of the State above party success they will either support Folk or will nominate man of his character. if they can find one in their ranks. If they do that the State will get good Governor, no matter who wins.

and the soil in practically all counties Is too dry for germination and growth. Cotton is making little or no growth. A large percentage of late piantings is not up; stands of early piantings con- tinue poor. Many fields are still un- planted, owing to the protraeted drought. Cultivation is in progress fin the southern portion of the State. A few. sections report favorable as to cot ton, but take the cotton situation as . whole in the State. I regard the out look as gloomy. even worse than this time last year.
 "'wheat and oats are failing rapidly owing to the lack of moisture. Even corn is beginning to show the effects of the extreme dry weather. A few peaches are being shipped from South Georgia. This. believe, covers the situation in our State. There will be no May grass to light during this year
 "Our reports from other States show the following conditions. viz:
 Prom South Carolina, the rainfall deficiency continues in all parts of the State, with drought prevailing except in limited localities. Since the begin ming of the crop season, the deficiency in rain ranges from four to seven inches. The drought with cool weather has become serious throughout the State. Wells are failing and water courses are dry. The stands of cotton range from good to very poor. Late plantings are not yet up. especially in the driest sections. The nights have been too cool for rapid growth of cot ton and plants are dying in the south ern counties.
 'In North Carolina, similar conditions to that of South Carolina and Georgia prevail.
 Tn Mississippi. early cotton and corn is generally small with only fair stands, but the cultivation has been good in Mississippi. as well as in North and South Carolina and Georgia. The drought has been broken In Mississippi, however. and showers have been re- ported in the last eight or ten days, which has materially improved condi- tions in Mississippi.
 'In Arkansas, cotton planting is progressing rapidly, and is now we'll advanced. Most of the early planting of cotton is up. the stand Is fair to good, but little replanting of cotton will be necessary. The early planting Conditions generally gre better in Ar- kansas than some of the other States.
 'In Louisiana, the planting has been completed in all sections of the State, The late planting is coming up with good stands. No complaint of drought in Louisiana. however, cool nights over the central and northern portion of the State have caused slow growth, but the condition of the crop is better than former reports. Cultivation has kept pace with the growth of the plant and fields are generally clean and the cot ton crop docks promising.
 'In Texas, cotton is backward, but made some improvement during the last week as a result of more favorable temperature conditions. Rains have been plentiful. the fields becoming grassy. particularly so in the central and northeastern counties: however, in the western half of the State, cotton planting has been delayed on account of the drought. Acreage in this section of the State will be larger. in excess to that of last year.
 Our reports from other States are meagre and unsatisfactory"

FRIDAY. MAY 20, 1so4.
A RARRARous ACT.


 Assuming that the Russians destroyed their city of Dalny to prevent it falling into the power of the Japanese 1t was sacrifice which was entirely out of date. Their countrymen almost century ago SCI fire to Moscow in order to drive Na- noIeon out of it, but that kind of heroics is passe, and would hardly be resorted to by really civilized people. They may destroy arms and munitions of war and Government stores to keep an enemy from being benefited by them, but to de- strcy cities. with private and public prop erty. rendering their own people home- less, is not the ways of civilization or of common humanity.
 The city of palny. or Talienwan, to give l. the native name. is one of the cities built by Nicholas. and is said to be the only model city, from a sanitary stand point. in Asia. It Is situated on the Trans-Slberian Railway, only a short dIs- tance from Port Arthur, and is credited with a population of 40.OOO or 5000 inhab- ttants. Its occupation by the Japanese would be an important point for them, but that is no reason why the Russians should have destroyed it. The Japanese themselves would not have done so if it had fallen into their hands. and there is no apparent reason why it's destruc- ton win cripple them or delay their op- erations. The act of vandalism was just like the half-savage Russians. however. It would have been much more in keeping with the Christianity which they profess if they had abandoned the city. if forced to do so, and left its inhabitants in their homes. but that seems not to be the Rus sian way.
