THE HOME-RULE BILL.

Both branches of the Legislature
have passed an alleged home.rule
law for st. Louis, giving the Mayor
Of that city power 20 appoint four
Police Commissioners and making
him ex-ofiicio president of the
board. 1t makes some pretension
Of prohibiting policemen from be-
ing delegates to political conven-
tons or contributing money to
party committees. but places in the
hands Of Mayor, if so disposed,
the power to build up one of the
worst sort of political machines.
Instead Of home rule, it is a cen.
traIization Of political power in the
hands of one man. A sincere
effort at home rule Legislation
would at least have given the peo-
pie of the city a voice in the mat.

EVANGEhISTIC WORK

Nv a NGElIlSIit Nohh.
The Fredericktown Democrat
News appears 10 be very much dis
turbed over the fact that Rev. Lin.
coin Mcdonnell was invited to hold
II series Of union religious meetings
in Pennington by the pastors of
the several evangelical churches OF
this place, that he accepted the in.
vitation and conducted very sue
cessful revival, and that our liberal
people cheerfully and voluntarily
raised Il thank offering" of 5000
for him. 1t speaks ironically Of
the powerful" preacher and Of
evangelists in general, ana in IFS
superior wisdom Of how the church
militant should conduct its affairs,
says it would have been better to
have given this money to some
deserving minister who is ready
and willing to preach the Gospel at
all times and under all circumstan-
ces.
The Democrat News has a wrong
conception of evangellsts in gener-
al, imagining that they are sort
of wandering, irresponsible, shall
low religious eXhOrtcrs, amcnable
to no one nor to any organized
church; aud it is mistaken in its
view that much good is not accom-.
plished and that the money con
tributed by local churches to this
cause would be better expended
otherwise. All of the responsible
eyangelists are recognized adher.
ents of some one of the several
branches of the church, and then
labors are conducted under its pc
culiar system of work. The tree
is judged by its fruit, and who can
measure the good that has been
done by these earnest, cOnsecrated
preachers, both for time and eler.
nifty. The church recognizes the
effectiveness of this kind of work
approves of and encourages it.
Pennington has as fine a lot of
young and wide awake pastors AS
can be found in any town in the
State-learned in the Scriptures,
educated and refined, tolerant and
imbued with the Spirit Of the Mas
ter. They were united in getting
Rev. Mr.. Mcconnell to come to
Pennington, and the result justified
their judgment. They felt the need
of some such help, and the appre.
ciative spirit of giving manifested
by the members of their several
congregations and by people who
were not members of any church
was source of gladness to them.
They, and not the evangelist, set
the bounds of the minimum of the
giving; not one of them would
have had it otherwise; not one of
them thinks it would have been
better to have had the 5000 divided
among themselves; not one of them
who does not believe that the meet
ings were worth all or more than
they cost, to them and to the com.
munity in general. Surely their

ter and made the Board OF fDiice
elective. II
What Governor Folk will do
with the bill remains to be seen.
He has been pronounced advocate
of home rule for our large cities,
but in his inaugural address he
warned against hasty and injudi'
cious action, saying that due con
sideration and close study of this
serious problem" should be given
any contemplated change; and that
the questions involved should be
approached with due appreciation
of their gravity and of the good or
evil that would result from any
new laws on the subject. "
That these words do not fit the
bill inst passed by the Legislature
goes without saying. Some of the
supporters of the measure and some
who do not like the Governor were
quick to recognize this fact, but
they thought they saw an oppor'
tunity to put the Governor in Il
hole" by passing it, for if he dared
to veto it then they could charge
him with hypocrisy and insincerl-
ty. One Senator, who is under in
dictment for bribery, said that he
didn't believe Folk was honest
when he declared for home rule,
and one of his motives in voting for
the bill was to prove his political
honesty In other words he
thoguht it would embarrass the
Governor. Senators Clark and
Gilmore of Kansas City didn't
want any of it for Kansas City, but
voted to apply it to st. Louis. II
it was a good home rule bill why
did they do that? Senator Bradley
of st. Francois county voted for
the bill, aud Senator Bauman, who
it seems had charge of the meas
IRE in the Senate, said he secured
the vote of Bradley by voting for
his pet fellow-servant bill" He
claims to have secured the votes of
/ several other Democratic Senators
by voting for their pet meas
ures. Indeed the bill appears ia
have been carried through the Sen.

has ridiculous provision that NJ
one shall be appointed to the Office
of Adiutant General who is not III

bic for Congress to provide that ut

The year 1905 stands out as a rec
ord breaker-"a year of superlatives
in the business world" as Dun puts
it. Prices of the sixty most active
railway securities have reached the
highest point on record; the output
of pig iron in the first half OF 1905
not only far surpassed any preceding
six months production, but exceeded
every full year prior to 1898; prices
of hides are at the highest position
since the civil war; wool quotations
have not been as strong since the
early sos; shipments of footwear
from Boston are close to the maxi
mum, and including all shoe centers
the movement this year is beyond
precedent. Foreign commerce in July
surpassed the corresponding month
in any previous year.-St Louis Post

RUSSIAN NAVY OF LITTLE USE.
Country Could Use Money in More
Profitable Way.

A distinguished Englishman made
remark some days ago that the states
men of Russia might seriously consid-
er. 1t was that Poland is likely to
give her masters serious trouble, and
he intimated that Germany was par
ty in interest. The socialists OF the
German empire are a formidable po-
litical party who give the government
great concern. Poland has their SYM
pathy in her longing for liberty and
socialistic ideas have taken strong
hold on Poland, in which there are
immense communities of artisans.
Russia will require all the money 1t
is proposed to put in navy to pay
the expense of reform in Poland, In
Finland and at the south. 1t would
take ages for Russia to create navy

as the telegraph lines had been brok-
en-.
The first train to Bannock Bridge,
the scene of the disaster. would be
run as soon as the line was clear, and
that could not be for some hours long
err. The unfortunate people who
craved to know what might be the
fate of some of their nearest and dear
est. could do nothing but wait, hour
after hour, every minute of which
seemed an age, and each separate
hour an eternity.
And So at last, the hours wore
away, and very early in the morning
train started, bearing its weary, bag
gard load of men and women, each
hoping that God had at least been
merciful to him, or her, whoever else
He might have bereaved.
Ted Burritt sat in his corner of the
carriage, and let his thoughts wander
where they would. All at once the
thought occurred to him, What had
become of the friend? The friend
whom his father went to meet, and
who was to return with him? But
what did it matter about him? Why.
but for him, though the accident
would have taken place all the same,
it would have had nothing to do with
that pleasant, peaceful home at Dull
witch!
BY the time he had recovered him
self a little he saw that the day was
beginning to dawn. Surely they must
be very near the scene of the disas-
ter.
Even in the faint early light, which
was all they had to illumine the
scene, signs of the recent catastrophe
began to appear. BY the side of the
line they saw drawn up some of the
ruined carriages. Another moment,
and the train drew up at the pictur-
esuue little country station, which
had now been converted into a tenn
porary dead-house. The mournful,
wild-eyed cavalcade, which alighted
at the platform, were met by the sta
tionmaster, who merely motioned with
his arm, and said. "In there"
The whole crowd. with one accord,
poured in the direction indicated.
A dreadful sight met their eyes. In
the waiting room and booking office
a dozen charred remnants OF human
beings were laid out on tarpaulins-
eSch one of which had lost all sem
! blance to humanity. There US nc
