In the northern district, John Deerwester. for southern district, Cyrus Requa, and for presiding judge, James Mc Kibben of Rich Hill. These men are all old citizens and first class business men. Two are farmers and one a successful merchant. Their location is such that all parts of the county would be represented. For presiding judge Mr. McKibben has large property interests in both Butler and Rich Hill, so there would be no jealousy between the two principal cities of the county. Both would be represented, as would all sections of the county, Friends of these gentlemen should insist on their accepting the trust for the good of the entire county.

Russell, member of Parliament from South Tyrone, Ire land, has struck the key note for the amelioration of the Irish wrongs. Mr. Russell holds the land question supreme in all that aliects the Irish people and says that until the exist ing landlord system is abolished the ills of the peasantry will continue to multiply. He insists that a way for the Irishman to own his own land and nome is 01 paramount impor tance. The truth of this position is so apparent that it needs no argu ment. Mr. Russell is on the right road. The people of Russia have gained an important point by inducing M. DeWitte, minister- of finance, and the leading Russian statesman of tne day, to admit the evidence of the peasantry in the agricultural in quiry now proceeding throughout the Empire. Thus the leaven of Republicanism is working even in Rusia, and when it has its perfect work, Russia will be alongside the leading nations of the earth in pro gress, prosperity ar.d military strength, because her throne will be in the hearts and not in tne fears of the people. The destiny of Russia is just begun. Machine Made Plays, by Will A. Page, in The Mirrcr, tells us exact ly bow it is done. Anyone who has attended the play house and ob served the course of the play, knows the end from the beginning. The tame thing it true of nine-tenths ol the novels written. When you hsve read five or six of them, if you hsve observed the thread of the story you know the end of all others when you have read the be ginning. And isn't the same thing true of life, usually? Know the early years of one's life and you know the ending, except as to the shifting scenes. Prof. Wm. H. Lynch, of Moun tain grove, will be presented to the Republican State Convention as a candidate tor State Superintendent of Public Schools. From the favor able comment we see in the Spring field Republican and other papers in the section ot the state where he lives, we hsve no doubt but he will be the man that should be, and piobabiy will br, nominated. Wc don't want a man nominated that will marshall the school teachrisfor the Republican party, nor one that will take his politics into his oiHce w hen elected, but one who w ill give all bis time and attention to the du ties of his office and the schools of the state oi Missouri.

This may be ta ken to indicate the lawful and praiseworthy determination of the workingman to better his condition as expressed in thorough organiza tion and the selection of competent leaders. The trouble in former years has been largely with tie agi tator, who was voluble in proclaim ing the grievances of labor, but barren in intelligent expedients for their abrogation. The demand of labor for its share through reasona ble increase of wages, in the pros perity that mow prevails, has the indorsement of public opinion. This indorsement, its allied hosts cannot afford to forfeit by violence in sup port of their contention. They un derstand this fully, and, to the extent that they act in accordance with this knowledge, basing their contention upon the justice of their cause, strikes will be entered upon guardedly as a last resort. Having been entered upon, they wilt be conducted without violence and on the basis of reasonable concession to a successful issue. REPUBLICAN (MUXTY VENTION. Pursuant to the action of the Re publican County Central Commit tee, a county convention is hereby called to meet at circuit court room in the city of Uuller, on Thuisday, May 29, 1902, at 11 o'clock a, m for the purpose of nominating a county ticket to be voted for Nov ember 4, 1902; and to elect dele gates to the State, Judicial, Con gressional and Senatorial conven tions; and for such other business as may properly come before the convention.

To the Editor of The Sfall ami Ex Some days ago you published this paragraph 1 The two prize-guessing content are still open. No one has yet sent in the correct answer to ''Who owns the Louisville and Nashville Railroad?" or "What is a Demo crat?" I don't know a thing about tr.t railroad; but as to that other ques tion. "What is a Democrat?" That's easy. A Democrat is one who has the imprudence to aert, but lacks tne facts and the courage to maintain. One who ignores an interrogation point, for the reason that that ign in punctuation does not always im ply negative averment. One who is constantly seeking for a point of negation, and lies about it when found. One who mistakes the platitudi nous mouthings of William Jen nings Bryan for the statesmanship ot Thomas Jefferson. One who stands upon a political platform containing only two wor J, "Time-honoied" and 'Ferneiibt." One who endeavors to make the other fellow believe that the mogic woids "Be it enacted" makes 42 to no more, no less, than 16 to I in aM commercial transactions. One who puts a candidate in the field and then indorses him, "With out recourse on me." One who mistakes his own vin dictive malevolence for public virtue.

Considering the drastic and prompt means which the President and the Secretary of War have taken to prevent any recurrence of cruelty to the Filippcnos. it is diilicult to stc bow the democrats can escape tha charge of dtmasogucry and lack of patriotism in seeking to ventilate the few offenses of the American soldiers. The readiness with which the Senate Philippines Committee has responded to the demands of the minority, that all witnesses be summoned before the Committee, irrespective of the an ticipated nature of their testimony, completily refutes (tje charge that the republicans are seeking to sup press the facts.

And fur the same reason tht proposal of the minority that an investiga ting sub-committee be sent to Ma nila has, so far, been rejected. Already some of the senators have so spoken as to indicate that tlu-y expect Congress to be still in ses sion in July and there seems to be tittle hope, at this writing, that ad journment cau be secured next month.
