 if you would see the hardest kind of campaigning going on all the time from the crack of the gun to the fif- ish. People talked about nothing but politieas but now you rarely hear poli- tics mentioned. When any one does talk about somebody's candidacy his hearers move on.
 Tt may be that the people are too busy attending to their own business to listen to political haranguing. l think the people have decided who they are going to vote for and don't need advice"

The southern newspapers make the Springfield race riots the topic of much sarcastic. but not altogether undeserv- ed, criticism of the north. They are not quite fair, however, in their ignor- ing of the many and earnest protests and criticism which come from the north itself-New Bedford Standard.
 The Advertiser has made frequent references to the attitude adopted by fair-minded Northern papers, and has copied a number of them. What we have been trying to show them, and to convince them of however is that white human nature Is pretty much the same, as a general proposition, North and South; and, further, that our North ern friends should, as a matter of com mon fairness. stop critlcising the South on the race question.

PENSION DECISIONS
By the Assistant Secretary of
the Department OF tho
Interior.

DSCHAI5GE - DESERTION-PRAC-
TCE.-In 1891 pension was allow
led under the act Of June p, 1890,
when the practice required only
a final honorable discharge from
/ the service; therefore the deser-
tion Of an applicant for pension
under said act from his first ser
vice was no bar to pension. The
practice having been changed 50
as 20 require an honorable dis
charge from all service contract
ed TO be performed during the
war Of the rebellion, pensioner s
name was properly dropped from
the rolls on the ground that he
was q deserter.
SERVICE MEXICAN WAX. 1t
appearing from the official record
of the military service Of the de-
ceased soldier during the Med-
can War, and from the testimony
on file in this case, that the sol
dier was duly enlisted for ser
vice in the war with Mexico as a
recruit for a regiment then on
duty in Mexico, and that he sery-
ed for a term Of more than sixty
days under orders and zen
route" TO the seat Of war to Join
hi command, such service full
filed the conditions Of pensiona-
be title required by the pr0vis-
ioas of the act Of January %,
1857, and entities his widow to
pension hereunder.
DisLOYALTY.-Claimant. while
a prisoner of war at Anderson.
vile Ca, having enlisted in the
Confederate service in February,
i5, is barred from pension by
reason of the provisions Of sec.
tion I71G Of the Revised Statutes
Notwithstanding his allegation
(uncorroborated) that his enlist
ment was purely a sub5erfuge TO
enable him to escape TO the Tn.
ion lines, which he did in April,
1855, it being held that said en-.
lstment and service was yolun-
tary.
MARRIAGE. The legitimacy Of
a child for pensionable purposes
is dependent upon the marital
status Of its parents, and this
must be determined under the
ACT of August Z, 1ss3. or under
section 47O4, Revised Statutes,

urer, county school commission
er, circuit clerk, county tax col
lector, ianitor at court house,
matron at ladies' rest room,
superintendent of county farm:
and as proteges of Mr.. Folk. ad-
jutant general and chief Of Gov
ernor's staff, brigadier general
of state troops, and until recent
ly deputy revenue collector, su-
preme Judge of state, county
coal oil inspector. besides circuit
Judge and congressman. Then
TO say nothing about the guards
at the state penitentialy; and
one or more candidates for every
county Office in the county, save
two or three.
Bates county with $1,000 or
10000 people, and Mt. Pleasant
township with possibly 6.Q00. is
thus dominated. / venture the
assertion that not one other
county seat in Missouri has 10
their credit an equal showing of
