New York Sun. OUR JOG. An evidence of Joo Flory's popu larity may bo found la the lumber men of drconvtllo' carrying him on their backs after his speech there. At Doniphan ten vctcron republi cans unhitched the horses from his carriage, tied a ropo to tho tongue,, and drew him through, tho streets in a driving rain, storm. Where was Mr. Dockery over received tnus? Honest Joo Flory ho water cQrlor, the section hand, tho rail way brnkeman, tho railway c6n . ductor, tho man tho democracy .claims Is not n statesman 1 In Lincoln's tlmo they said he i was not a statesman and Flory has received tho -samo recognition which alone should bo enough to clcct.hlm. "Thcystono our prophets living; build monuments to them dead," will not hold good this year. Tho people of grand old Missouri have removed tho Mm of past party affiliations from their eyes and are going to glvo him tho highest honor In their power to bestow, and when goocf poopli !iSEnpon him the laurel wreath. betokening, tho grandest Governor MUsouri has aver known. 'ill- TO THE LABORINd HAN. Is It posslblo for a man who has novcrbenn a laboring man to fully appreciate tho needs of tho laboring class? Is it possible for a man who has never b;en a laboring man to havo labor conditions woll enough In hand to offer an Intelligent remedy for the Ills attendant upon them? Bring theso two questions homo to yourself, study them out for yourself and then remember that Joe Flory has labored as hard as nny man. Dockery has ncycr soiled his hands? Ppor, Inconsistent Dockery.' Ho voted to pay Spain what ho paid her and then comes homo and says: "I voted tho money out of tho U. S, Treasury boys, but wo. didn't get a clear title. Wo venture to say there is not a farmer In Montgom ery county who would pay out money for a farm unloss tho title was good? Say, Mr. Mabry, If you nro elect ed will you vote .to repeal tho Nos blt law? And say, ngaln, Mr. Mabry, would you bo good enough, In caso ypu are ejected, to extend the basic principle of democracy, Homo rulo, to tho city of St. Louis and allow them tho prlvllego of selocting their own police commissioners, to say how many policemen they desire and how much they will pay them? Postmaster General Smith, who went t West Virginia lost wool: to mako ii couple of speochos, says he found nothing npproaohlng npatiiy among tho republicans of thu state. On tho contrary, ho says thoy oro conducting an aggressive and ac tlvo campaign, .and expressing ab solute confiCencolhat tho stuto will gtvo McKinley and Roosevelt a larger majority than It gavi Mo . Klnley.nnd, H'obart in 1800, and that tho legislature will bo repub lican and and Senator Klklns re elected. Mr. Smith Is speaking In Ohio this week. Alcrely a Blatherskite. "Webster Davis' St. Louis speech was ft groat disappointment' to everybody," assorts thnt keen but Impartial observer and crltlfii annlyst, William vMnrlori Hecdy. "Talk about' Roosevelt's book on tho rough riders deserving thd tltlo "Alono-In Cuba," Davis' remarks might hnvo been labeled "Alonoln South Africa." As ho went along I thought continually of n parody of tho poem; "Tho night has a thousand IV From one to four I's poppercd every sentence. Mr. Davis' ego was on tho rarapngo. Ho elected McKinley, ho saved Mark Hannn. Ho was not only tearful himself In their cause, but was the cnuso of tears In others. And now Messrs McKinley hnd Hnnna and all tho rest of them are villains. Well, they aro what thoy wcro whom ho served them. Thoy havo not changed. Ho know them and their game when ho helped them to their present places. If ho didn't ho was aj'chump." His sudden turn on his former, Idols Is under strong suspicion of treason. Mr. Davis is an oratorical archaism. Ho talks high falutlncss. Hols an caglo-scrcamer, an empyrcan shattcrcr. His wares of speech oro unadulterated guff. No traco of loglo is In him. Ills vlow of the Boer war bears not tho slightest traco of being tho result of nny judicial study of tho question. His story of it was ono of rank, ex travagent, utterly unqualified as sertion, Tho reading persons in his nudlcnco had to smilo at his highly-colored special pleading. Tho talk was ono unlntermlttent gush rl flubdub, with Davis more Important than Great Britain or America or tho Transvaal. It was Davis, Dayls, Davis for subject, predicate and object of every sen tence. His patriotism, his sacri fices, hlsj. devotion, marto up jvjtho rewaaflrc- petered out. Gradually tho applause was pro longed at tho conclusion of his periods, butit began to Inst so long that it was evident tho peoplo were wearying. Tho crowd began to cry for Bryan, who had not yet ar rived. Peoplo began to talkloudly to each other and turn their backs upon the stage. A man in ono of tho boxes began to emit a peculiar bark at Intervals. A boy In tho arenn began tooting on n mournful conch. Boys on tho girders near tho roof began to gabblo loudly1 to ono another. Tho talk became gradually a sort of din. Thepeop Io wero grown tired of Mr. Webster Davis. Before lie finished ho was practically drownid out by his audience. Tho crswd had him sized, up for what was a blnthcr sklto." Urynn nt His Worst. From the New York Sun, It Is not pleasant to And a can didate President of tho United talking as foolishly or dishonestly as Mr. Bryai. talked at Monctt, Mo. "Tho republicans aro now boast ing that we havo reached a point where wfc can loan money to people In other countries, I want to ask you whether you regard that as an ovldcnco of prosperity? Why would nny,mou send his money to Europe for Investment If ho could find a placo In this country to In vest 11? Money sent abroad for Investment must bo sent for ono of two reasons, either because the man who Bonus the monoy over there thinks mora of tho peoplo over thero thnu ho does tho people here, and does It for lovo and do votlon, or because It Is a matter of business; that is, becauso ho can Invest It to bepr ndvantnge. In a European country than ho can In this country." Mr. Bryan cither knows or ho dooH not know that tho country has accumulated so much money under that flnanclal system which ho is trying to break down that It has money tp lend nt a low rate of In tcrost to the rest of tho world. Ho either knows or does not know that a low nito of Interest Is good for tho country In general, especially for that "doctor Tlass" for which ho shows so much conconm Ho either known or does not know that ft country which Is ablo to lend fs prosperous. Ho cither knows or does not know that tho big silco of tho German loan taken by a llfo Insurance company represents In n largo measure, tho savings of many men In moderate clrcum- stancos. If ho does not know theso things ho is too big n fool to bo President, It ho docs, and yet talks as ho talked at Monctt, ho Is too dishon est to bo President. Militarism', 'Imperialism,' aro terms used by newspapers, poli ticians nnd platforms to scare tho peoplo and catch votes. Thoy are weapons utterly groundless ones of tho mostdcmagoglclmport-uscd to stir tho peoplo, which no well balanced statesman or newspaper will use. There Is no moro danger of cither condition In this great in telligent seventy million freemen and great aggregation of states fortified by those States' rights rocogalzcd by our constitution and sustained by our courts, than thero Is of England becoming an abso lute despotism. Canton (Miss) Times, Dcm. All tho Incidents of tho past prove that the nrmy will never have the disposition to jeopordtzo tho freo institutions of tho country. Our nation would bo safe indeed, for nil time, did tho mass of Its citizens placo upon its institutions tho samo Intelligent appreciation as that in which thoy aro held by tho army, and wero honor, integrity and re spect for tho laws as much tho rulo among tho people as they aro in the army, which has given too many proofs of heroism, of Integ rity, of devotion to the country, to be regarded -as a source of danger.

It was at tho samo tlmo mado publlo that tho American troops in China, ex cepting a strong guard for tho lo gntlon, would nt onco bo with drawn. This govcrhmont had given Its whilom nllles a hint several weeks ago that atthough It would prefer to act In concert with tho other governments In a settlement with China, It was prepared to act alono If nceossary. Tho dlflerenco between tho two powers, ns repre sented by Russia, which wishes to withdraw from China, and lcr mnny which wishes to stay and impose conditions which will bring on n war, satisfied this government that It was tlmo to act, and It has doilo so, and there Isn't tho slight est doubt that Its action will bo commendod by publlo sentiment In this country.
