The body of John Paul Jones,
recently found in France, arrived in
this country last Saturday and was
temporarily received into a vault at
the United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis. The full story of the
finding of the burial place of the
founder of the American navy is as
romatic as the career Of the hero.
For six years General Horace Porter,
ambassador to France worked upon
the case. BY %exhausting every
po sible source OF information he

If a bonus accompanied the gift.

From this it may be judged that the

ON GETTING TOGETHER.

NN ALA tAlNA ANALAAA-As
At the Missouri Editorial AssOcIa-
tion in session in St Joseph this
week, walter Williams Is said to have
given rout an interview which is
variously reported. The Kansas City
Times puts it in this way;
"Walter Williams Of the Columbia
Herald, one Of the first to arrive, said
10 an Interview that in his opinion
the Republicans will carry Missouri
next election unless the democrats get
together"
THE average rural democrat is
tired Of Folk Democrats Halves
Democrats and Anti Somebody Dem
ocrats. They want men on the
tickets who are simply Democrats
without any qualifying adjectives, 3"
said MI. Williams. 80
The Kansas City Journal tells It
thus:
81 believe the Democratic party is
stronger today than at any other time
in the last two years. II they get
together, as I hope they will, they
will carry the state next year without
any serious difficulty. If they don't
get together, the Republicans will
carry the state, world without end.
The average Democrat is tired Of
worshiping heroes. He wants a ticket
composed Of Democrats who belong
to no cllques OF factions.
The Republic quotes MI. Williams
thus:
THE average rural Democrat is
tired of Folk Democrats, Reed Demo
Gratis, HAYES Democrats aud Anti
somebody Democrats. They want
men on the tickets who are simply
Democrats without any qualifying
adjectives
These quotations are made because
Mr.. Williams has been frequently and
very generally mentioned by the
country press as a suitable candidate
for governor at the next election, and
it can hardy be doubted that he is a
careful observer Of political weather
especially If he is thinking of
listening to the wishes of his friends
in relation to candidacy for office.
Everywhere throughout the state the
condition which Mr., Williams de-
scribes prevails. There is 40 unusual
discOrd over party principles, policies,
or even organization. For some
reason the last campaign was intensely
bitter, and democrats got mad at
each other personally. In every
county there is danger that these
personal bitternesses may bear fruit
in the intermediate elections next
year. If such should be the case,
permanent factions will be established
in every county and a guerrilla var
fare started that twenty years would
not suffice to cure. If democrats
don't dry up and get together now,
Missouri may as we'll be set down as a
republican state for many years to
come. There has been absolutely no
ground for this unseemly family quar-
rel 10 the democratic party beyond a
difference Of opinion a. to a mar
This question should be dropped from
debate. The democratic party in
Missouri is emit rely too valuable an
instrument Of good government to be
demoralized over a proposition which
is Of no more Importance now than
the question Of the habitability Of
the planets.
