A bill has been introduced
on conjrress to permit three-
(fourths of a jury to make aver

bed States courts. Justice
Brewer, of the supreme court,
favors this idea. It would ef

But Utah does not wish any in

The Moberly Democrat says
that "Judge Rucker, of Linn
county, is mentioned as a can
didate for congress." Judge
Rucker is from Chariton instead
of Linn county, Mr. Democrat,
and we give you the assurance
right now that if the judge con
cludes to make the race you
speak of, "your Riley" may
well look to his laurels.
It appears to be rather un
seemly that Senator "White, of
Louisiana, should have taken
so conspicuous a part in the
wrangle over the sugar tariff
after his appointment to the
supreme bench, and pending
the taking of his new oath.
There may be nothing illegal
about it, but such a course does
not comport with the popular
idea.
The lower branch of the Io
wa legislature resolves that the
U. S. senate ought to postpone
action on the tariff bill till after
the next election, "so as to give
the people a chance to vote on
it." But the people passed the
Wilson 'bill substantially at
the election of ?92. "What the
country wants is for the senate
to proceed and pass the bill.
llie Kepuoiican newspaper
press of Missouri is organizing
with a view to relieving the po
liticians of their party of the
burden of doing all the think
ing for them. It is proposed
to work the McKinley protec
tion for all it is worth, and not
to permit the Democracy to es
cape on side issues. If they
did but know it, this is the
very contention on which the
Democrats feel most at home.
Arkansas cast a compact
vote for the Bland coinage bill
in the house last Thursday.
All the Illinois Democrats but
Goldzier, of Chicago, went the
same way. The Iowa delega
tion gave but two yeas and
they were both Republican.
Of course Kansas was solid in
the affirmative. All the Mis
sourians voted yea except
Burnes, Cobb, Barthold, Joy
and Tarsney. Cobb and Joy
voted against it, and the others
were absent.
The friends of certain Repub
lican candidates for the next
presidency are agitating the
subject of basing the nomina
ting convention upon the num
ber of votes cast in localities
for their nomineess at the last
election, instead of by the-sys
tern of two delegates for each
congressional district. This is.
of course, aimed at the colored
contingent, and is meant to
give
the big representation to
the states with the large major-
uies in tne norm.
The job of the Republican
party in making the McKinley
law was a very easy one, com-
it. All the manufacturing in
terests of the East had to do
was to write on a slip of paper
the amount of protection de
sired, and in it went. The rest
was free trade. Yet when it
comes to reversing this pro
gramme, tne work is necessan-
ly full of difficulties. But they
will all be surmounted in a way
generally satisfactory to the
country.
Despite the efforts of "Wall
street speculators to conceal it,
lie fact is cropping out that
bimetallism is advancing. The
wail of distress from the far East
is making itself heard in En
gland, anil some of the most
comment British statesmen
lavo declared themselves in
favor of a more liberal financial
? - i
policy, uermany nas put on
ler thinking cap. Japan is
starting inquiries in Mexico in
regard to the supply of the
white metal. Indeed, the out-
ook ior silver now is more
promising than it has been for
a longtime. Ah: u within a
year or so the old parity be
tween gold and silver could be
established, and American
trade with the outside world
put where it was before thoKe-
puclican tanlT was enacted,
what a prosperous nation we
should be!
A suit has been filed in the
circuit court, at St. Louis, in
volving the titles (to all the
property on one side of Olive
street from 3rd to '21st street,
the value of which is placed at
$50,000,000. Becmitt Property
company is the plaintiff and
Mary E. Patterson is the defen:
dant. The suit arises from a
dispute over the legality of a
title given to a farm tract own
ed by and granted to Jean Bap
tist Becmitt about the time of
the Louisana purchase. Becm
itt left the land to his daugh
ters, Marie and Marguerite, and
in disposing of it but one of the
heirs. Marguerite, took part,
the other neither signing the
deeds nor receiving the money.
The two held undivided inter
ests. The purchaser after
wards sold the land to various
persons, and it is now cut into
sixty different holdings, of
which Mary E. Patterson has
one. The .other holders will!
be sued in due time. The suit
is brought up by decendants of
the sister Marie, whose undivi
ded half interest- was sold
without her knowledge. Some
of the most jirominent business
houses and valuable improve
ments in St. Louis are on the
ground now in litigation.
Republican organs are mak
ing senseless comments on the
fact that Democratic senators
from different states whilst con
sidering the new tariff bill and
the incidental protection which
must come from laising the
enormous revenue required, are
seeking to apply the benefits
to industries affecting their re
spective constituents. Thus,
Louisiana looks to sugar, West
Virginia to coal, some of the
western states to lead, others
to lumber, etc. And of course
it takes close study and a true
regard for the general welfare
to adjust these. Whilst this
contention is going on, it may
be expected that senators will
contend as faithfully and ably
as thev know how for their lo
calities. But when the stiug
gle is. over, the Dem6cretic par
ty, which is pledgea to reform,
is not coiner to sacrifice the
country s interests on account
of personal disappointments.
