Delegates TO the Missouri State conven-
tions will have to pay their way or keep
away. No free passes. The chairman Of
the Democratic State committee "rebukes
the Republicans for urging the railroads
TO take such action" and drops into pathos:
Many Ut those selected from the rural Districts
are poor people and will stay al home before selling
u COW or horse 10 get the necessary funds"

At present, when measured by export
values, the order stands: Mining, agri-
culture, animal products, manufactures.
This of courss eliminates production for the
home market. An estimate on the do
mestic trade basis would change the order.
Total exports for the fiscal year 1905 were
valued at SOL TIC, 900 in American gold.
OF this sum SIS per cent. was represented by
mineral products, % per cent. by agrioult-
ural products, S per cent. by animal prod
ucts, 4 per cent. by manufactured prod =
ucts and the remainder by miscellaneous.
Silver represented more than half the value
Of mineral exports. Hennequen, or sisal
| grass, for the United States market, is by
far the most important agricultural export
item. We took about SIS, 900 900 worth of
that article last year. Mexico's coffee ex-
ports, of which we take a goodly share, are
worth about IS 600 900 a year.
Mexico's imports are about $S5 900 900
a year. 1t is probable that both import
and export figures for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1905, will exceed the figures here
quoted. The United States supplies a
very fair share, about 90 per cent. of Mex
ico's import requirement. An importan mt
part of our sales consists Of machinery and
materials which play their part in the de-
velopment of Mexico's indus rial resources.
Another very important item of supply
from this country is capital. 1t is esti-
mated that pres snt American investments
in Mexico will reach and may exceed the
sum of $500, OOO, 900, Ten years ago we sold
Mexico Sis, 900, 900 worth a year; we now sell
her $50, 600 900 worth. Our import trade is
shown approximately by the same figures.

There is but one sure policy for the spot holders to pursue in the present, fight they arc in, and that is to hold their cotton firmly in their own possession until the people who need and must have it come into the market and offer satis- factory prices. We know now that the crop is short and that the remain der of the unsold portion of this crop must bring higher prices to offset the depressed markets we had to suffer in September and October"

Let Them TtaIk Out. .I 7Ns,,.1a yNtA~afAl.


 From Washington comes another story, growing out of this one, which is hardly less disagreeable. A certain correspondent wired his paper an ac- count of the Morris episode-which was full frank and not at all in ac- cordance with the official version is- sued by the Assistant Secretary Whereupon he was duly. sumoned be- fore Secretary Loeb and admonished that the manner in which he had handled hs story had proved very ob- 1ectionabIe to the White House. The sole possible inference is that White House news must be served only in q way that is agreeable to the admins traitor and that correspondents who have the temerity to violate this order must do so at the risk of the Presiden- tai displeaSure.
 The argument that a particular news story is objectionable to the White House" is obviously highly improper one. It is difficult to distinguish such a comment from a deliberate attempt at coercion. The only adverse criti- csm winch Secretary Loeb or anybody else is warranted in passing upon any does not give the facts. If decent and does give the facts there is literally nothing to be said. If the White House wishes the correspondents to send only things that are flattering to their newspapers there Is just one way in which it can accomplish this. It must take care that only agree able and flattering things are allowed to happen there.
 A free and unrestricted press is a national asset of tremendous import ance with which not even the President of the United States has the slightest right to tamper.

SATURDAY, JANUARY IS, 1908.

We are not much given to publishing or commenting on expressions of opin- ion from coIored people. put sometimes we make an exception. Recently high functionary in one of the colored churches of New York promulgated a very severe criticism of some of the Southern States for their 'disfranchis- ing jaws" as he termed them. As 9 comment on that deliverance the New York Globe prints this letter from w. A. Martin, an intelligent negro teacher in one of the city schools:
 race wishes a return or carpetbag rule, with it's attendant horrors IT every celored man of voting age were admit Iouisiana isu ns and south Carolina, there would be nothing to prevent the cleo ton of colored governors, legislatures, etc.. asad the result would be negro

 Frankly, does he suppose, or even pretend to believe that the mass of the colored people of the south are fit to govern another race-even 1t that tace would permit it?
 As will be noted, this writer goes to the root of the matter, and his words are full of good sense. There will be no more of the infamous carpet-bag rule from which the Southern people susfered so much in times past nor will there be any more negro domination, and the people of the South have taken fhe only safe and sure method of pre- venting. Martin is right, and the man of whom he writes may as well save his breath.

ONE OF THE MYSTERIES.

One of the most mysterious of the many dark murder cases-if it was a murder--is the Van Dran mystery of Portland. Ore. Briefly. the facts as de- veloped are these: Mrs. Van Dran, her sister. Miss Montieth. and the formers husband, took a walk on the, evening of August F of last year, returning to their home about 10 o'clock where the husband left the two ladies at the door and went to his saloon. Here is the way Miss Monteith describes what followed:
 As soon as the two ladies entered the house, Mrs. Van Dran, complaining of thirst. went to the pantry for bottle of ginger ale, returned and opened it.. She poured out two glasses, leaving some in the bottle, and eagerly began to drink. Miss Monteith. for some req son, did not drink, but waited; and she had not waited long when her sister, exclaiming In horror that there was | something terrible" in the ale, rushed
 upon the floor and died Competent | chemists found cyanide of potash both 1 In the glasses and in the remnant of | liquid in the bottle: hence there Is no | swift poison caused the death of Mrs. | Van Dran It was placed either in the
 bottle before. the unhappy woman | opened it, or in the glasses before she
 drank.
 After the fullest and most thorough
 investigation the story of Miss Mon
 teith was accepted as true. Aside from
 her character there could be found no
 motive for her to have poisoned her sis l ter or to have desired the latter's death.
 It was not case of suicide. for there l was no motive for that and Miss Mon
 telth's testimony was positive that Mrs. 1 Van Dran could have had no suspicion
 of poison. Yet the evidence of the phy- sicians was that the ale was poisoned
 How did the poison get there? is the | question not yet solved. The evidence | shows that the bottle was one of sev- | eraI sent to the house from case in the husbands saloon. he keeping it on hand all the time. It is not likely that one bottle of poisoned ale would have been placed in a case, for even if any one wished to take the woman's life it is plain that the fatal bottle might have been opened by some one beside the victim. If her husband had desired to poison her it is equally plain that he would not have sent that bottle | along with several others, as ir was l proven that he did, for he knew that 1 she kept the bottles in the pantry ac- cessiblc to any of the household.
 But that Is not all the mystery. Any
 one who knows anything of the nature
 Of ginger ale knows 1t is very effer-
 vescent. If any one had opened a bot
 tie for the purpose of poisoning it they would have had to wait until a con-
 siderable portion had escaped before
 they cculd insert the poison, even If
 they could have afterwards sealed 1t so
 as to escape suspicion. Then a person
 acquainted with the nature of the drink
 would have noted its condition and re-
 fused it. All that makes it pretty evil dent that the ale was not poisoned while
 in the bottle, and that some one dropped the fatal dose in the glass, and after
 wards was sharp enough to pour what
 remained in the glass back into the | bottle.
 All these facts and circumstances

In Country Adapted to stock Raising

IdIIdNeEd MOUHldIII f1UIIFo.
 Without any effort to ascertain the actual number, The Home believes there has been fully fifty car loads Of ladega county during the past two months. A car load of horses Is worth about Ss s.000, or s150.0o0 for fifty car loads If these horses had been bred at home the county would be $150.000 bet = ter off and doubtless have better ones, many of which prove victims of disease occasioned by change of climate and other causes Our farmers should de- vote more attention to raising stock, es- neciallv enough for their own use. A few years ago horse flesh could bo bought cbeaper than raised, but with mules and horses with only one eye and condition does not prevail.
