The bill to reduce passenger fare to 2 cents a mile on main lines and 3 cents on branches has failed of pan nage in the legislature. One thousand workmen have been thrown ut of employment by the closing down of the Joliet rolling mills. Why is this thus? What's the matter with the McKinley bill? At the clone of congress the dem ocrats refused to offer the custom ary vote of thanks to the speak er for fair treatment of the minority. This' result was brought about by the tyrannical rule of Reed during his administration as speaker. It is not very often that wo find a representative in the legislature with the supreme gall to write corres pondence to his home paper "boost iog" himself and sign his own name to the letters. Yet this is just what our preseat representative is doing. Mr. Hendrickson must be making a splendid record and working hard for the interest of the people. . be cause he says he is each week in the Union, see his interesting (?) com munications. Aus. is spoiling for a fight on the McKinley bill. It seems to bare taken him a long time to prepare himself for the fray. Last fall when it was playing sad havoc with the re publican party all along the line and turned the congress over to the dem ocratic side and lost the republicans several senators, theu was the time for Aus to have thrown himself into the breach. But tuen it is better late than never and he may stem the tide in 1892. Twenty thousand men were thrown out of work in Youngstowu Ohio a few days ago. Twenty-eight thousand in Pittsburg, thirty-two thousand in Cincinnati, fifty-five thousand in St. Louis. Two hun dred thousand idle men in this city who cannot get work, says a Chicago daily, and the New York World of last Saturday atates that there are one hundred thousand idle men in the metropolis, meu who are not or dinarily idle. Here are 432,000 idle men in six cities. Still the McKinley tariff boodlers promised with higher protection higher wages and plenty pf work. Editorially the Globe Democrat has this to say of the record of the republican congress which adjourn ed last Wednesday: "The principal blunders of the republicans consist ed in the pressing of the election measure and the passage of the Mc Kinley bill in the shape in which it aoDears on our statue books. For both these transgressious the party was adequately punished at the polls last November and the grudge which the country bore it on that account, is now settled.' The following table is worth filing for reference: Total taken In one jur by the Fed eral gorernment from the people etO.Coo.ooo Total annual production of all the mid and silver mine of the world 24.000,00 Dockery atatement of total appro priations by the radical ron- rress l.Ottl.ono.ooo Total cash la the hand ef the peo ple of the United State 1,500.000,000 The entire product of all the gol and silver mines in all the countries of the would would, not be enough in four years to pay the debts sad died on the American people in two years by a radical congress. St Louis Republic. TEE TABIC HAND. Why is it that while our farmer representatives are so solicitous for the poor down-trodden woi kiug man in the mines, on the railroads, in the manufactories, etc.. that nothing is ever heard of the farm laborer? Are they not as hard workvd aud poorly paid as any class of workingmeri in the world? While other laborers are c amoring through their lodges and other secret organizations for better pay for fewer hours' work, the farm band continues to begin work at tau rine and finishes his chords after night The miner can Make from $50 to $125 per ufonth according to his skill and industry, the ruiltoad employee from $00 to $150 per month, while the farm hand is eon tented if he. can make from $15 to $20 and his board. There is a great array of which this class is compos ed. There is probably as many ;is are engaged in any one other calling, and they are appealed to to help the workiugmaii by their vote. Yet when they elect their fanner repre sentative tries to regulate every other class of employees, but is si lent on the question of the aineliora tion of the condition of the farm hand, because that affects directly his own business, and he wants to be free to employ his fur in lulor us cheap as he can get it and woik them as long aud as hard as he can for the money These are a few thoughts we would suggest for the prayerful consideration of our Bates county representative. Hon. James H. Lay, of Waisaw, Benton county, has been uppointed by Gov. Francis to fill out the uu expired trm of D A. DeArmoud us judge of the twenty second judicial district. He is described as a gen tlenuin aud lawyer of tine ability so it is hoped that the bigoted, narrow minded rulings that have perverted justice and the will of the people in this district will not be repeated The boasted "harmony'' of the pre dominant party seems te be sadly out of joint the Bates county gen tleman wao was championed by (iantt, DeArinond, Kieth &. Perry and every other corporation in south west Missouri got left. Evidently Missouri's governor is "turning al liance.'' Butler Union. The above is a fair sample of courteous treatment that a demo cratic official receives at the hands of this expounder of pure principle?, this reform party that wants to pu rify politics unit do justice to all men. No matter how wwll or faith fully a democratic official performs his duties, how clean, honorable and upright his private and public life he is not proof against the malicious slanders and villainous falsehoods of this paper, which was brought into this world and is now being fos tered for that purpose and which is performing its mission to the entire satisfaction of its backers. Hon. David A. DeArmond left the bench with a judicial ermine as pare aud clean as that of Any judge the state 01 Missouri ever had. lie possessed the utmost confidence of the bar as shown by tke ringing res olutions passed and signed by every awyer, irrespective of political af filiations; the press throughout the state has commented upon his great ability as a lawyer and his just and earned decisions as a judge, and it now remains lor a little partisan fiste, who has not dropped his swad- dling-cloth in the newspaper pio- ession, to comment on his rulings as "bigoted and narrow-minded." As for Mr. Smith he made an honorable contest for the appoint ment of judge, and the fact that he received the endorsement o! such earned jurists as Judges Gantt and DeArmond speaks volumes for his ability as a lawyer. The following from Hon. Roger Q. Mills is full of common-sense: The splendid fight we have made against the high tariff has beaten. disorganized aud scattered our foes, and it would be follv for U9 now to go to wrangling over silver aud di vide our own forces and restore the republicans with their force bills, bounties, increased tariffs and the increased distresses and spoliation of the people. The democratic party will not wrangle over free coinage. When it gets the opportunity to make it a leading issue, it will force it. But until federal taxes are reduced to the revenue-only basis, there can be only one leading issue the reform of tax ation and the overthrow of tax sup ported monopoly. St. Louis Re public. WORLD'S KA1R MESSAGE. Governor Franew Urges Liberal Ap propriation Ilia Argument. Jefferson City. March 0. Gover nor Francis yesterday sent to the house his message calling for the ap propiiation for a Missouri display at the World's fair. The message ex- 11 .1 .1 a desire that the appropria j tion be not less than $150,000, and Rl1trrrHta tlirtt thrPA timf-a that rmw-h m''ht b profitably expended. The message is long and written much I bt-tter than most of the governor's j communications. Among other things the message says: Missouri's iutertst impel her to embrace the most favorable occasion to display to the woild her marvelous pioducts and unequalled resources rpi . . iT 1 1 Ine state is now afforded an oppor- . . , .... 1 1 tuintv to demonstrate to all nation ahties that her ftr-famed reputation for miu'ral wealth is well founded and that the half has not been told. The enterprise of our people, if en couraged by your endorsement and aided bj- substantial assistance can and will make Missouri the central figure among the states that will participate in this illustration of the progieas of centuries. Every Mis fcouri.ui who attended the centennial of our independence in 187( was made to blush or haug his had in mortification at the inadequacy and poveity of the display made there by this great 'commonwealth in the presence of millions of interested visit, is. Missouri is fast growing in popi:" Uion and wealth, but the devel opment of our resources has not been as rapid as their richness. A judiciuus exhibit of agricultural ad vant.ir live stock industries, man ufacturing and commercial interests and n-ttural resources will give a new impetus to our progress. Whilst highly agreeable to the state, it will attract a current of immigration and an investment of capital that will re pay munyfold the money expended and the labor undergone. 'i tic message gav the various appi opriations of other states. Au appropriation of $300,000 has passed both houses of the California legis lature, and bills have b"t-n introduc ed in Illiois for 1 milium dollars, Texas for $300,000. Minnesota. Wis consin, Tennessee and New York for million dollars each, and Ne braska, Colorado, Indiana and Peuu sylvania for $150,000 each. The governor accompanied his message with a olauk bill in the form furnish ed by the b ant of management of the fair. In the senate, when the governor's message was read. Senator Sparks introduced a resolution that it be re f erred to the judiciary committee for au opiuiou as to whether the legisla ture had a right to appropriate the money. A number of senators expressed their opinion that the legislature had no right to make the appropriation and the resolution was adopted. The relative numerical strength of the opposing parties in the Fifty first eongress was as follows: Sen ate republicans, 51; democrats, 37. House republicans, 176; democrats 156. In the fifty-second congress there will be in the senate 45 repub lic ins aad 40 democrats, with three members) doubtful. The house will stand, republicans, 87, democrats, 236; farmers' alliance, 8. It appears rom these figures that the surplus was not the only thiug which the re publicans succeeded in reducing in the last two years. Globe-Demo crat. To Marry Gov . Francis' Sister.

By the side of his engine, was Engineer George Biikeuhead of this city,, with oue arm aud a leg cut off. The wreck immediately took fire and burne 1 with great rapidity. It was with the utmost difficulty that some of the passengers were rescued and one or two were severely burn ed. A wrecking train was at once sent out from Jacksonville, but when it reached the scene the fire had swept the debris out of existence. The loss to the c nop my, includ ing the death aud accident claims, will not fall short of $100,000. An unusuallv email lint of passeu gers was aboard the train.
