A Tribute to HOneStU.

MissouTis transfer to tie Repub-
lican column came as a surprise. Re
publicans are gratified, regarding this
change as the punishment of a feast
already bountiful. They are not in
clined to murmur over the circum-
stance that Mr.. Folk was elected 20
the governorship. His election was a
tribute to honesty.
Mr. Folk is deemed an extraOrdi-
nary) man That this should be so is
a serious reflection upon the moral
standard, for Mr.. Folk has done moth
ing that his official oath did not bind
him to do. He was fearless in the
prosecution of rogues and thieves.
He hunted them down and sent them
to the penitentiary. He did not rec
ognize the existence of any pull"
The spectacle of an honest official
doing his sworn duty appealed to the
people of the whole United States as
n novelty. They marveled that at last
had been found a man not afraid, not
purchasable. So rare an individual is
MIR. Folk that the voters, delighted
with his record. deemed that another
such could never be found. They
thought that failure to indOrse him
would be the relegation to the back
woods of the single example of integ-
rity that the decade had produced.
All this was complimentary to Mr..
Folk, but it left the rest of the army
OF ofieeholders under a cloud.
Happily, the time may come in Mis-
souri, and elsewhere that a prosecuting
officer may carry out his sworn
pledges and not by this be deemed a
creature bordering on the miraculous.

Oh, SO Sore!

There was in the assumed attitude a
distinct announcement that victory
was to be won through strict ODE
dience to these orders, and that the
glory Of the achievement would, of
course, fall where it would be a de-
served and fitting tribute But vic
tory failed of being snatched, and
there was no glory; to the contrary.
Now, if there had been a crop OF
glory, and the editor had garnered il
all, it seems that he is entitled TO
whatever there is in place of the glory
there ought to have been. He would
not have divided the glory. The
odium he ladies out with free hand.

still higher. A change from more
