Champ Clark will some day lean the Democrats. He is the most formidable debater of them all. Both are from Missouri. Like the State, both are big, stalwart, com manding. Clark is the better student; - but Davis is a genius. Clark' is a kitchen knife whetted on a brickbat,' but Davis is the Damascus blade, as keen and as cunning as the. scimitar of. Saladin. Clark is the mountain torrent; Davis the meadow brook; Clark jams an argument through an audience, Davis perscades his way. ; "I recall the first time. I ever beard of Champ Clark. . He had made a stump speech" in one of the northern tier of counties, and a friend of mine, a Republican, like myself, heard him. -Clark then was a very young man, and never a spring-time ave promise, of a " more bounteous autumn. He fairly carried us off our feet. Some years ago a friend of mine heard Webster Davis deliver the day before. He was extravagant in his praise, saving that Davis was the greatest orator living. I am always suspicious of your orator, your sky scraper, your word-monger, your de claimer. He is apt to shoot over your head. . When I was a boy Ole Bull maae 1 tour or mis eonniry, giving concert.

I feared that Webster Davis was too much given to tuning.' I determined to hear him. I did hear and I found that while be could tune' with the best of them, he could give us music with the best of them.

A THRIVING BUSINESS- Liquor Selling at a Camp Meeting- Csad a Cemetery as Bar-Boom. Jaspeh, Ga., Sept. 28. The de scription given of the camp meeting at LUnton baffles imagination. On every side could be seen men and boys in close contact with the bottles. At nights the roads near the camp ground were thronged with men, drinking, cursing and quarreling. One man with a lantern was seen measuring and selling whisky not over 50 yards from the pulpit while services ver in pro gress. There was another man who used the near-by cemetery for a saloon and measured out liquor at the foot of a grave which was but a few hundred yards from the arbor. The proceed ings became go pronounced that women refused to go to the meeting to-night, preferring to remain at home rather than to come into contact ' with men whom they would hare to meet. The Grand Jury will be asked to thorough ly investigate the matter this week, judge Gober, one of the severest Jndgasinthe State, will be on the bench and it is expected that be -will put an end to this kind of lawk-ssness ; Back.leas Arnica galTe.

Poplar Bluff Republican. Life Tenure In Office. Bloomlleld Vindicator: The Jeffer son City Tribune and Madison County Democrat, commenting on the mention of the name of Champ Clark for U. S. Senator to succeed CoL Cockrell.de ory tha pro position and seem to think it essential to the welfare of Missouri that Col. Cockrell be retained in office perpetually. We share with them a reverence for the grand old men of the state, among whom Senator Cockrill ranks high; but our ad mi ration for the bright and talented young men which our state can boast is greater still, and we ara decidedly in favor of sending a younger man to the senate next time This is an age of progress and Mis souri shares to an eminent degree, the progress of the age, and we think that some young man like M. E. Benton, W. J. Stone or Champ Clark would more fittingly represent us in the D. S. senate than any grand old man, even Senator Cockrell, and we expect to advocate the change at the proper time. We don't believe in life tenure in office. Elevated Newspaper Location. A correspondent of the New York Evening Post, writing from Pike's Peak, thus describes the enterprising venture of a newspaper man who has chosen not unwisely a unique field for a local paper: . "There is something else new on the peak a printing office. The idea of issuing a semi-daily paper at the height of 14.170 feet in the air is en tirely original, but it is succeeding. Thomas B. Wilson, a Kansas man, is Uie editor ana publisher. The paper is printed on a job press, and is small, with eight pages, largely covered with pictures and descriptions of the scen ery in this Switzerland of America. A morning and an evening edition are printed, two pages being given to the events of the day -on the peak, the principal items being the arrival of excursionists. As the cog-wheel road brings up its paeengers each one's name is obtainod, and the little press is, by the time the party has properly admired the peak, ready to print tie inside page of the paper, in which are given the names of all thearrivals. Of course it would be a hard-hearted excursionist who would not pay a dime for a copy of such a souvenir, indub itable evidence of having been so far above the level of most humanity. The sales have been beyond all expecta tions, running from 825 to $35 a day, and the ingenious publisher is getting rich." ' A Warm Friesut.
