The Democratic newspapers Of

even in their news columns, about
the various new mines that are be.
ing opened in St. Francois county,
and. of course, they would be un-
willing to give and credit to Con.
gressman Elvins and the new tariff
law for these new evidences of
prosperity. On the other hand,
they are repeating with glee an ed.
itorial from the Fredericktown
Democrat News, in which the clos
ing down of the never-pro6table
mines at Fredericktown is charged
up to the Congressman and the
tariff. Verify, the Democracy
feeds upon adversely. 1t always
applands at distress. We have
long wondered why the esteemed

in the Republican fold as the re-

party virtue, which is something
that never appeals to the Demo-

ed an information, in the nature of
quo warranto, in the circuit court
of this county. wherein the State
of Missouri, at the relation of the
prosecuting attorney, is plaintiff

Lumber Company is a foreign
corporation, organized under the
laws of the state of Wisconsin and
licensed TO do business as a cor

it has for number of years held
large tracts of land in this county
such as were not necessary and
proper for the carrying on of its
legitimate business, in violation of
the Constitution aud laws Of this
state; that for more than ak years
the Three States Company held the
lands in question in its own name
but that since the 18th day of Aug

of evading the constitution and
