William Joel Stone, the noblest
senator OF themsall, was in Jefferson
City last week and on Tuesday ad-
dressed the members of thR assembly.
Although turbulent Time has touched
his hair with its wintry wand, and
carking cares have stopped his shoul-
ders, not spark OF the fire Of i'm.
mortal youth was missin. when he
stood before his people and plead for
Q united party. He truly told that
this assembly held the fate Of Missouri
Democracy within its palm and that
political simony-traffic in that which
is sacred must not be permitted. He
warned that such practice would be
attempted only by enemies Of the
party.

The esteemed Globe Dem ocrat
makes another baseless charge that
Senator Buford has gone over to the
vets because he voted against chang
ing rule that has been in force in
the Senate for the past fifteen years.
Just how the CD. connects the dry
and wet issue with this rule is not clear
to the average mind. It would, have
been possible to make connection
with the vets OF the Senate had 1t
been changed a. they would have
been powerful In the extreme In se.
curing the passage OF measures suit.
able to the liquor interests, but as It
stands there 10 no such power granted
this or any other element. Had Sena-
tor Buford voted to change this rule
he would have made 1t possible for
eighteen members, at any time, with
out notice, to suspend this rule and
take up any bill out OF Ito order, or do
anything else they saw ilt to do. The
way the rule now stands and has for
6fteen years, II requires one days
notice and q two.thirds vote OF the
Senate to wipe II OF the record and
take up legislation out Of order. This
same rule Ia now in force In the Unit.
cd Staten Senate and has been used
by that body for years. To show how
unisir.the Globe. Democrat is how far
II IL willing to 60 to create false and
damag ging impressions, We print be.
low the rule In full. II reads:
Rule 90. No standing ruls or order
Of tho Senate shall DO rescinded or

Ing given OF the motion therefor, and
then only by vote Of at least Q ma.

The city board Of health met yester-
day at / O'Clock and after thorough
discussion Of the smallpox situation
decided to prohibit all public gather
iDgs until further notice. 1t was de-
cided to have meeting next Mond ay
and IT the situation appeared to justi-
fy it, to Withdraw the order.
Yesterdays order means that the
schools, public, parochial, and college,
churches, lodges, pictures shows, and
every other meeting is absolutely
prohibited. The marshal was provid-
ed with deputy and ordered to keep
the streets cleared Of all unnecessary
gatherings and to prevent the public
from congaegating at the postof1ice
aud depot.
There is perhaps no necessity for
Fredericktown people to become un'
duly alarmed. Upwards of dozen
cases of smallpox have actually ap.
peared and large numbers have been
exposed, but the prompt measures
adopted yesterday should prevent the
further spread The public should
cooperate in every way with the

HEARTILY concur with the St.
Joseph Observer in its observation
that "If there are fifteen members Of
the Missouri Legislature who have
their wives on the clerks payroll, as
is charged, both they and their wives
should be thrown out of ollce-and
the sooner the better" The average
housewife Is an angel in her home, but
her fitness for position which requires
her abandonment Of that home Is
neither established nor probable. The
most inexcusable sort Of nepotism il
embodied in the practice above
noted.
