The Tyranny of Gossip.

Columbia, Mo-, has an anti Cos
sip society, and there is no reason
why every community in this land
should not have one. Indeed,
there are very positive reasons
why every community ought TO
have one. In a large majority Of
cases the gossip which most readi-
ly gets currency is the kind that
hurts somebody. Even when it
starts out as truth it usually
picks up so mach falsehood in its
perigrinations that it hasn't gone
far before it becomes IL gross
sIander. And in those rare in
stances when it remains wholly
true it does no good, but does much
harm. Gossip hurts; it hurts those
at whom il is directed aud those
who engage in it, and it were well
indeed if every town iii this coun-
try had an anti gossip society,"

Intelligence In Jurors.

Judge Shelton, of the Missouri
bench, does not believe that intelli-
gence ought to be a disbarment
from jury service. In a murder
case recently tried before him the
States attorney was severely ques-
tioning talesmen about having
read newspaper accounts Of the
crime, with the customary purpose
of disquaIifying them. The Court
interrupted to remark: "What's
tho difference if they have all read
the newspapers! They will all
make better jurymen. To say a
man ought not to serve because he
has read the newspaper accounts
is saying, in effect, that a jury of
intelligence is objected 10. That

The Ironton Register has long
held up the management of the
financial affairs of Iron county, by
its Democratic county court, as u
model for neighboring Republican
counties. Frequent references
were made to the treasury surplus
in Iron county in contrast with the
treasury deficits in other counties.
But there has come a change in
Old Iron of late, either the Demo.
cratic fnanciers at the helm have
lost their grip or the county has
fallen behind in it's revenues. Al
any rate, Bro. Axe of the Register
felt called upon the other day to
make the distasteful confession
that Iron county's $4,000 surplus
had disappeared, and that unless
more revenue was provided. by re-
storing the licensed saloon, for in

facing a deficit.

Nearing a Climax.

The officials at Washington pre-
sent much the aspect, at present,
of men who have reached the edge
| of precipice, and who must make
the leap, at the possible cost of Sc
we're bruises, before arriving in a
safe place.
The relation between the pros
perity of the country and the ac-
ton of the highest courts toward
the trusts which have been chosen
as typical of the entire trust idea,
has not been talked about great
deal in the open. There can scarce
ly be a well-informed person in
Washington who has not known
that the standing Of the trusts be-
fore the law must be definitely es-
tablished before many complicated
problems can be solved. But
those 10 official life have had little
to say. As the published reports
of this morning put it, ''the soft
pedal was put on" when such dis
cussion was had.
1t is evident that those who seek
for uninterrupted progress in the
march of commercial events have
a great dread Of what may happen
if the trusts are antagonized or
shorn Of their power. The coun-
try has had many Il demonstration
of what can happen, when con-
fusion comes to Wall Street. The
demagogue and the badly inform
ed man have had so much to say,
in a shrill key, about Wall Street,
that it is difficult for people of
moderation and fairness to be
heard,
One thing, however, has become
apparent. If the people at Wash
ington arrive at the conclusion that
the lower of the trusts is for evil,
there can be but one course to pur-
sue. If the decisions of the Su.
preme Court are against the Stan
dard Oil and Tobacco combines,
there will be nothing to do but to
declare war upon such trusts, at
least (if they are not all involved
which unlawfulIy prevent competi.
tion in business.
Those immediate hardships
which may be worked upon the
country should be borne willingly,
if better conditions may be seen
beyond. The policy of ''hands
off," prompted by fear OF low
order of discretion. must prove
fatal to the country in the most
comprehensive way. As the phys
ician does not ''drive in" the case
of measles, because it makes the
face unsightly, so the State cannot
afford to temporize or compromise
where there are concerned those
forces which have been declared
an evil.-St. Louis Times.

The Fredericktown Dem. News
insists that the ''tariff on tiff" has
killed the tiff industry in Washing
ton county, a subject on which the
Dem. News is evidently not we'll
informed, or it would not make
such statements. The tiff industry
here is not dead at all, in fact, il
seems to be picking up right along.
Miners are making as high as two
dollars per day at the work, quite
as much as they ever got out of it
in the flushed periods of the indus
try. The tariff on tiff is working
all right.

What to Look For in Buying Beef

In buying mea, it must also be
borne III mind that the price of a
certain cut is not alway criterion
of the food value furnished, nor
even superiority of flavor. Take,
for instance, the tenderIoin, which
is the most expensive Of all beef
cuts. While there Is no doubt
about its tenderness its flavor is
really nil and must be enhanced in
cookery by the juices from round
steak or mushrooms, as well as
various high spicings. In select
ing beef the following points are
to be considered:
l. Insist on seeing the carcass
from which the meat is to be cut.
If it carries the stamp ~. S. In
spected and Passed" it is guaran-
tee from the government that the
meat is healthy.
2. Choose fat beef. The fatter
the beef the more tender. A prime
piece of meat not only carries an
outside covering Of fat, but the
lean meat will be marbe,ed with
small specks of yeIIowish white
fat.
3. Beef and mutton that have
been hung some time and kept per
fectly sweet will be much more
tender. Lamb and veal, being im-
mature, spoil quickly and should
be quite fresh.
4. Meat Of any kind should
have little odor. 1t should be firm
and dry rather than moist.
5. Select your meat according
to the use for which you intend it,
and the plumpness of your pocket
book. A general rule, is that the
market value of meat increases
backward from the head, but de
creases downward toward the legs.
Those muscles which get but little
exercise will be tender, while the
neck and legs, which are in con
stant motion, are tough but Juicy.
For roasts or broiled steak or chops
the prime ribs and the Ioin will be
best, while the neck and legs are
better for broths. Tender muscles
should be cooked quickly, but the
tougher portions require long,
slow cooking to soften the fiber

1t looks like congress is going to

and thus redeem another of the
Republican party's platfor m
pledges. The bankers of the ooun'
try are Just as much opposed to
this measure as ever, but in a pro-
test against reform they are likely
to be beaten. The banking inter.
ests might have easily defeated the

far as they would 60. The income
