STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER
Governor Dockery does not believe
in half way measures. For tome time
tbe Globe Democrat of St. Louis has
been bowling about fraud io tbe
management of portion of tbe atate-'i
money and tbe republican pack of
small yellow journals throughout tbe
state has been taking up the Globe
Democrat yelps and are trying, on
tbe principle tbat a lie well stuck to is
s good as tbe trutb, to convince some
of the voters of Missouri tbat there is
some ground for tbeir statements. It
is not tbe first time tbat our excellent
governor bss beard tbe republican howl
of "stop thief and "wolf in tbe fold"
and be fully understands tbe tactics of
toe Globe-Democrat. Having allowed
tbe matter to proceed so far tbat the
G.-D. will either have to prove us
charges or crawfish into a very small
bole, tbe governor sti ikes out straight
from tbe shoulder and lands Squarely
between the eyes of the Globe-Democrat
by throwiug open the books of
the state for a full and complete in
vestigation by the aforesaid G.-D.
In his communication to the Globe
Democrit Governor Dockery says:
'Since lhe democrats have been in
control in Missouri, the fiscal affairs of
this state have been biennially exam,
ined by a non-partisan legislative com.
mittee, and in each instance tbe report
has been unanimous as to the honest
and efficient management of our pub
lic funds.
Beginning with the first year after
tbe democrats came into power in
Missouri, the Honorable Truman A
Tost, republican member of tbe Legis
lature from the city of St. Louis, was a
member of tbe committee to examine
the books of the various State depart
ments. Following him, la ib biaonUI
periods, were tbe Honorable James C.
McGinnis, republican member from
the city f St.Louis, 1877-78 ; the Hon
orable Jaiaes C. McGinnis, republican
member from tbe city of St.Louis,
1879-fco; the Hontrablo James C. Mc
Ginnis republican member from tbe
city of St. Louis, 1881-82; the Hon
orable Henry Smith, republican mem
Jer from Jackson County. 1883-84, lhe
Honorable William H. Miller, republi
can member from Jackson County,
1885-86; tbe Honorable Samuel G.
Kelly, republican member from John
son county, 1889-00; tbe Honorable
James T.Moore, republican member
irom uiciede couDty, 1891-92; the
Honorable J. E. Swanger, republican
member from bullivan county, 1893
94 ; the Honorable W. II. Odneal, re
publican member from Mercer county,
1895-90; the Honorable II. N. Mueller,
republican Member from St. Charles
county, 1897-98; and tbe Honorable
Joseph B. Lindsay, republican mem
ber from Dade County, 1899-1900.
'In all of these
reports were unanimous as to tbe
absolute integrity of tbe various state
debts."
Governor Dockery knows very well,
however, that it is not tbe truth that
tbe Gbbe-Democrat wants, for the
above examinations would satisfy any
one seeking only tbe light of trutb.
Notwithstanding these thorough exam
inations above mentioned, the gov.
ernor intends that tbe Globe- democrat
shall either be forced to know the
truth or to acknowledge by its refusal
to make the examination that it does
not seek it.
Though it is now up to the Globe
Democrat, nobody expects this bitterly
partisan sheet, that d0es not besitata
to belittle and misrepresent its own
state for petty, partisan gains, to
accept tbe invitation. Some exceed
ingly flimsy excuse or pretext for an
excuse will be offered as a pretended
reason for not accepting the governor's
bookkeeping and crookedness of tbe
democrats of Missouri.
As a seeker after the truth and s
political reformer the Globe-Democrat
is a dismal failure, but for out
annaniaiiig old Annaniss himself tbe
Globe Democrat is a whole pack of
howling successes.
SENATOR CLLLOM O.N TARIFF.
Since his interview with President
McKinley a few days ago at Canton,
Senator Cullom, of Illinois, was asked
as to the prospect of tariff legislation
by congress next winter. His reply
was as follows;
I do not think there will be any, at
least in tbe form of a general revision
of tbe tariff. Of course I am not In a
position to speak authoritatively for
the president, but I feel tbat I an rep
resenting his ideas when I say tbat.
'There are, however, some thine
we ought to do which will amount to a
partial revision of the tariff. There
are at present pending before the
senate some ten commercial treaties.
These treaties are all of a reciprocity
character, and if they are ratified will
amount to a change in the tariff with
countries with which they ire made.
It seems to me as if it would be wise
to ratify at least some of them. A
feeling has grown np abroad that tbe
United States is disposed to act in
what may be called a hoggish manner
In its trade relations, and if these
reciprocity treaties can be drawn so as
to be for the mutual advantage of both
countries entering into them I think
it would be beneficial all around."
Coming a he does fresh from a con
ference with McKinley and Ilannait
HASXA'S OPrOKTl'MTY.
It is reliably reported from Cleve
land, Ohio, that Senator Hanua has
been to Canton to call upon the pres
ident, and the general supposition is
that ho went there to tlk wi.b Mc
Kinley concerning the great steel strike
which is now going on among the
wotkiuen of the great steel corpora,
lions and trusts. lUnna's presidential
star seems now to be in the ascendant
It is claimed, by those who seem to
have been on tbe inside, that Hanna
was a most potent factor in settling
tbe great coal strike before the last
presidential election and though this
claim may be no better founded than
McKinley's claim for the prosperity of
the country growing out of its abun
dant crops of the several years pre
vious to this, tbe fact remains tbat
Hanna received a large share of credit
tor settling tbat strike.
Hanna is cow laying his plans to
rise up, in tbe hour when tbe steel
strike has reached a more violent
stage, as the strike settling Moses, and
it may be set down as a foregone con
clusion that Marcus will bave it known
that be was tbe prime factor tbat
brought about peace between tbe trust
magnates and tbeir vast army of
strikers.
Teddy and tbe balance of the pres
idential bee chasers had as well pre
pare to take seats out in the congrega
tion and see the great presidential
circus run by Ringmaster Hanna. He
has the longest whip with the loudest
cracker on it and be knows bow to use
j 1 on the whole circus crew. Just
