A Blessing, Not a Blow.

"Here's a good one," said the tele-
graph operator, according to the Los
Angeles Times. GA dear old Methodist
minister came in yesterday and sent this
message to a conference that had as
signed him to a charge: Acts xx, 80
He explained that the citation was,

"Well, the careless operator at the

LAST week. Cape Girardcau Dem
ocrat says: Five thousand farming
implements, comprising full ship
load, were shipped from Brooklyn
last week, for distribution among
the sale dcpots in Russia. The
cargo consisted of plOws, harvest
crs. thrcshing machines, cultivatOrS,
cream separating machines, and the
like. The sad part of it is that
these implements will be carried
eight or ten thousand miles and
sold to Russian farmers for about
onc-third less than they will cost
the American farmer who lives
within sight of the factories in
which they are made" The demo
crat is one of the oldest republican
papers in southeast MissOuri-sO
old that its editor, Ben Adams, reg
ulatcs and corrccts such republican
kluS dS IDIlHIJ ~ hIhHJ I'M L '|h'SN
John A. Snider and others. But
Ben has discovered the "true in
wardness" Of the republican pro
tcctivc tariff, at last, and the fore
going item proves that he don
hesitate to speak right out in meet
in for the benefit of his readers
we presume. Our farmer friends
especially those who have been vot
ing the republican tickct-shoul'
read the extract carefully and the

cover how much, on republican eI
idcnce, the tariff costs them; an
they might find out how much Of

FORMER SECRETARY SHAW
DENIES REPORTED ACTIVITY

by Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo, Feb. 1S.--Leslie
NJ. Shaw, ex-secretary of the treasury,
who arrived here today to address the
Kansas City Bar association tonight,
gave out a signed statement, in which
he declared that a number of unau-
thorized reports had been published
concerning his visit to Chicago yester-
day. Mr.. Shaw declared that politics
had in no way influenced his visit to
that city. He went there, he said, Eat
no mans instance and in no mans
interest,"
His visit was on a matter of personal
business.
Mr.. Shaw, in his statement, con-
tinues:
ST am not seeking to defeat any
mans nomination for the presidency.
There is not man whose name is men
toned who Is not my personal friend
and for whom l would not cross the
continent to bestoIy a kindness. That
l prefer some does not imply that
would lift my hand against others.
II am intensely interested in bust
ness conditions. The men out of en-
ployment and the number soon to be
dismissed is 10 me alarming. The in
terest of these men ande the effect OF
their enforced idleness upon business
generally far transcends any candi-
dates ambition.
81 wish that factionalism within the
party to which I belong might cease
and that convention of broad minded
patriotic, unselfish and unambitious
men, uninstructed and unpledged
might gather in Chicago on the 10th
of June next and in the light Of con-
ditions as they then exist select man
who is believed to be the most likely
to lead the party to victory and whose
election will best conserve the morals
and industrial interests of the country.
The nominee of such a convention. II
such a convention can be held. will be
elected. whoever he may be, for the
party then will be united"
