IRONTON, Mo, March 22.-Former
Senator Joseph r. Burton has given out
the following signed statement:
1.-THE impression has gone out that
L propose to live for revenge. This is
a mistake. / have no such purpose.
The wrongs done me are the wrongs
of others. Vengeance is thought to be
noble only by the ignoble. Vengeance
is mine, saith the Lord, is the phtloso-
ply to which I have always subscribed
in the past and to which 1 shall adhere
in the future.
81 am a thousand times more solicit
tious that / shall wrong another than l
am concerned about the wrongs 9TH
ers have done or may do to me. In
saying this. however, I do not pretend
to have more than two cheeks. Nor
do L think it is wrong to rebuke hy-
pocrisy.
"I return to my home at Abilene
brimful of life and hope. Only my body
has been in jail; my mind has been
at all times free, sustained with the
knowledge that 1 am innocent. I shall
take up my lifes work with malice
toward none, and with charity for ALL
Will Talk and Write
81 shall talk and write with pen and
tongue, L shall stand for policies and
principles that 1 believe will make for
the general good and oppose such as
1 think bad. 1t is bad policy that
makes bad men and bad government:
while true policies make good men and
good government. My fight shall be
against measures, rather than against
men.
81 shall have charge of newspaper
unless there is a fraud order issued
against it before I can arrange for it's
publication. 1t is to be one of the
agencies in the work hope to do.
shall talk when am not writing and
shall write when 1 am not talking.
1.-The history of my case, already pre-
pared, will appear in serial form first
in the paper. The story will not be sem
sational; it will be truthful. Interwov-
en- with the story and a necessary part
of it will be discussion of certain con-
ditions in our legislative, executive and
judicial government that L think have
escaped the attention of the average
citizen. I will not go further into my
case nor my plans and purposes. The
first statement will be made on Satur-
day evening to my home people; then
there will be more to follow.

IRONTON, Mo-, March 22.-Joseph r.
Burton, who until his conviction in the
federal court was United States senator
from Kansas, was today released from
the county Jail, having completed his
sentence Of six months Imprisonment
imposed when he was found guilty of
violating a federal statute by appearing
as the paid representative of an alleged
"get-rich-uuiclt" concern of st. Louis.
Burton entered the Jail at Ironton
October %, 1906. His release today is
due to the law which provides for a
reduction of the sentence for good be-
havior.
Burton's sentence also included fine
of $4,000, and the statute under which
he was convicted bars him from ever
holding an office of trust or remunera-
tion under the federal government.
The fine, which has not been paid, will
be held over him as a civil Judgment.

Applies to One Indictment

The present appointment of an elisor
extends only to the one charge of eX-
tortion on which Ruef is on trial and
does not apply to the other indictments.
In order to reappoint the elisor to
take charge of Ruef during the trial Of
the other charges it will be necessary
for the prosecution to show again that
the sheriff and other regular officers are
disqualified.
The report that there is dissension
among Ruef's attorneys seems to be
borne out by the fact that they no
longer confer with him together but
visit him singly.
Ruef was in much better spirits when
seen this evening. He submits grace
fully to the restraint placed upon him
and expressed his appreciation of the
courtesies extended TO him by Elisor

Paris Sees II.

Paris used to be the negro
town of Monroe county. but
Monroe City seems to have
snatched the uncoveted laurel
from our not unwilling brows.
According to the Stoutsville
Banner the negro population of
Monroe is 500. The DEMOCRAT
however, denies this and says
that it is not over 300. Even at
this figure it is believed that
the Metropolis has us bested.
Prior to the fateful year of
1900 most of the negroes in this
part of the central west divided
their time between Paris and
Jacksonville, ILL.,, but with the
strenuous events of that histoI :
&c year a hegira set in which re.
duced the colOred population of
Paris fully one third. Those
who left were of the worst ele
ment and those Wbo remained
have, with some few exceptions
behaved decentIy. 1.-THE Hill"
at Paris is now almost deserted
where once it teemed with life
and music, but the change has
been for the better. However,
the Monroe committee" should
