TALKING about lobbying, the
anti-lobby bill that ought to be
made law is one making it grounds
for impeachment for the President
or any Governor to solicit or in
duce, by means of patronage or
the power to disoblige, any Rep
resentative or Senator to vote for
or oppose any measure before
Congress or the Legislature. This
would be in accordance with the
intent and purpose of the men who
made this a free and independent
government. They aimed to keep
separate and apart the Executive,
Legislative and Judicial Depart
ments; but at this day, the Execu-
tive seeks to control the Legisla-
tive, if not indeed also the Judicial.
1t is time a halt was called, and the
men honored with public position
made to restrict themselves solely
to the administration of their
trusts.

or malfeasance. This we do
through the courts upon our pre-
sentiment, and we do not delegate
that duty to some official far re-
moved from us, who may, from
political or personal cause, hale
his victim hundreds of miles away
to stand trial for alleged offense.
The ''three men, vicious and mean
enough to petition the Governor
without due cause may be found
in almost any community. l do
not believe in placing any such
power in the hands of any three
men, though they be robed in gar
ments of light, with pin-feathers
a-sprouting. You say, "The Gov
ernor may now suspend any State
officer at the capital upon the
smallest provocation." Where do
you get that law? You must show
me! LOOK it up, brother, and give
it to me in the text. If you can't
find tiff there is no such law-I
expect you to correct your state
ment, for you cannot afford to
mislead your readers, even by
innocent mistake. In the mean
time, rest assured of one thing:
an Outraged people" are not OUT
ragged by their home officials once
to where they are an hundred
times by those high in authority
and far removed. l regret to hear
that the "lawless element" is now
on top in Missouri. 1t is the first
time in my fifty years residence in
the State-excepting in the period
of the Civil War-that such condi-
ton has been thought to prevail.
If such is the result of two years
of Folk, it would seem that a re-
turn to the old Democratic regime
were an end to be desired.

OVER 5000, OOO, 900 has been spent
on the Panama Canal to date, and
the beginning is only just about
begun. But, Lord! what a glori-
Gus field it is for ''high f~nanciers'!
Its vista of graft reaches into the
dim and distant future. Though
maybe not conceived in sin the
project was brought forth in in
iquity. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT and
spoliation of a sister Republic was
the first step taken and we may
rest assured that the end will but
do credit to the beginning, while
the years between will bear plent-
eous fruit of fraud and peculation.

THE cry of the average Missouri
Republican for years, "We want
to see the books!" Well, they
have seen them, but, in the langu-
age of the street, "there's nothing
doing" Is this because the g. o.
p. patriots are so busy with their
own ''books" in the st. Louis,
Chicago and New York Sub
Treasures? The situation seems
to bear out the old contention that
the biggest rogue shouts "stop
thief!" loudest.

THE executive committee of the
Board of Curators of the Missouri
State University held its monthly
meeting at the Southern Hotel
yesterday and called a meeting of
the full Board of Curators to be
held at Columbia April 18th. The
committee spent yesterday going
over names and approving bills.
A short session was held last night
and the committee will conclude
its work to-day. Walter Williams
stated yesterday afternoon that it
was the purpose of the body to
create several new positions at the
University before adjourning.-

To be sure a lot of new positions
will be created at the State Uni

that institution S7O0, 900 of the peo-
ple's money, and it must be spent.
