On THE topic of taxation of railroad
property an up-Jersey paper says that the
tax rate in one locality is increased owing
to the fact that the State Board of Asses

Of second class railroad property located
there And then 1t says: I'm lesser
degree, too, every other municipality In
which second-class property Is located Is
also a loser financially from the same

''For who would lose
Though full Of pain, this intellectual being,
Those thoughts that wander through eternity ?"
Then. noting IL British comment or two, it
says:

THE MISSOURI SENATORSHIP.


From the ST. Joseph Observer.
I There are thousands of good republicans
all over the state Of Missouri who do not be-
lieve that political victories should he won
by sharp practice after the election is over,
but believe that these victories should be
won at the polls. They are in thorough ac
cord with the thousands Of democrats of the
state who deprecate the policy now being
pursued by the republican leaders, which
has for its object the attempt to mseat dem
ocrats and seat republicans in the places in
i order that the case of William X. Painter
and United States Senator Stone may be SET
tied through such means, instead of allow
ing the verdict of the people at the polls to
stand.
That Senator Stone and Lieut. -Gov.-elect
Painter won decided and decisive victory
at the polls last November is not doubted by
any good democrat or any good republican.
They, like the good citizens that they are.
desire exact Justice 10 all concerned. and
they know and realize that these two, being
elected have IA right to the Offices. and there
fore are not willing to take sides with the
narrow minded political leaders who would.
if possible. seat enough republicans to take
away the legitimate fruits of IA victory from
these two public servants.
1t is a significant fact that the republicans
in the state who were beaten appear to have
been dragged into the contests wherever they
have begun and are not proceeding on their
own motion This is shown by the Clark
county case. wherein IL republican politician
from Kirksville. which is in Adair county
instituted the contest. with the republican
candidate acting merely rs catspaw. The
same condition applies in st. Clair county,
where member of the republican state com
mittee came over from Nevada. which is in
Vernon county. to tell the St Clair county
man what he must do and which he is now
doing.
Such methods are absolutely reprehens-
BILE. and do not appeal to the sense of decency
which all fair-minded republicans possess.
They do not appeal to the far-minded repub~
Leans who will sit in the Missouri house of
representatives and who will. within n very
short time, be called upon to decide the issue
as it is put up to them. Will these men vote
TO unseat man who had a majority at the
polls? viii these men stand for trumped-np
Itechnicslites which have been brought to-
gether for the occasion and on which it is
hoped to secure a majority that will unseat
democratic members who are honestly elect
ed? No fair-minded man believes that they
will.
