My paper comes to Jefferson City regular once a week; is perused with care and is a welcome visitor, indeed I could not do without the booming Times. Long may it wave Success to its noble editor and the democra cy of grand old Missouri. Respectfully, S. C. Alexander. Wm. M and John T. Gailey in company with our esteemed friend Sam Walls, who recently purchased farms in this county, gave the Times a pleasant call Tuesday. They come from Battle Creek, Iowa, and both are staunch democrats. The people of this sixth congres sional district were never prouder of their member of congress than at the present time. The course of Mr. DeArmond has not only won additional admiration from his dem ocratic constituency, but from the rank and fil of all other "r'es. Of course the jealousies of opposing politicians crop out but the more conspicuoucly by reason of his gen eral approval from the people. Dade Co. Advocate. For the first time in fifty years England has made the discovery that the United States has a government and has a president who means what he says and says what he means. The discussion in Parliament show that the English people didn't Bup- Pose President Cleveland would show his teeth in discussing the Monroe doctrine, but he did show them very plainly, and England thinks he has pretty good teeth after all. Clinton Democrat. Mayor Webster Davis, of Kansas City, is losing ground as a candi date for governor on account of re cent developments. A Times report er discovered that Davis' father had a job at $2 a day as watchman for a shanty and lumber pile worth about $4, where his sole duties seemed to be carrying beer and consuming it in company with a street inspector, who getB S3 a day and a horse hire for helping old mau Davis drink the bear. The reporter printed his dis coveries, and then a brother of the mayor showed up as clerk in the city hall, where he punched the pa per man's nose for talking about the old man. Such things have a ten dency to make a Statesman ridicu lous and to sour on his boom. Pleasant Hill Gazette. Big Deal in Minius Property, Deadwood, S. D , Feb. 19.

No change in the management cf thecompany affairs will be made A Scandal Mongrel Exhibits Himself, Washington Correspondence, Chicsjfo Time Herald. One of the incidents of to-day session of the House would ordina- ray oe paeea in silence Dy press correspondents. One of the tradi tioas of newspaper work at this cap ital is that the personal habits of members of congrtes do not form proper subject for dispatches. If exceptions are now and then made they are for a good purpose, and the incident of to-day appears to form a fitting pretext for a departure from the rule. Three years 8go an Ala baina man named Howard gained a little brief notoriety by writing a book called "If Christ Came to Con gress." It was filled with scanda lous attacks upon the reputations of men and women whobe identity was concealed behind the thmest ve neering of paraphrased names. S.mfi of these attacks were based ou a little truth, many more were of a reckless, mendacious or purely im agu.ary character. Tee author .f this retched book whs elected a member of the present congress as a populist from Alabama. To dav he entered the house in a beastlv state of intoxicatiou, and a few ruin utes before the roll call on the silver question, was carried out by two of the employees of the house in full view of his fellow members and of hundreds of ladies in the galleries.

ELMGER S DECIDED TO -AND REGULATE PRICES IN GENTS FURNISHING GOODS.. returned from eastern markets, and : WE WILL SURPRISE YOU IN: The Democratic Central Commit tee of Rmdolph county at a meeting the other day resolved in favor of the free coinage of silver at the pres. ent ratio, but every member express ed himself as determined to stand by his party nominees from Presi dent down to constable, regardless of the silver question. That's the sort of talk we like to hear. Ex. Emile David was bung at Linn, Missouri, ou last Saturday morning at 8:43. His mother and sister call ed to see him the evening before the hanging. The mother and sister told the Sheriff they never saw any one hung and would like to witness it, and the Sheriff permitted them to stand within ten feet of the scaf fold where David was swung off. David had poisoned a young man named Henderson to keep him from marrying his ister. The family re fused to take the body after the hanging, saying "the county hnd started in with him and they might see him through." The family are reported to be a very ignorant out fit CliLton Democrat. Culver Items. Harmony school closed Friday with a dinner by the school and can dy by the teacher.
