Ever since the meeting of the Pop ulist National Committee at St. Louis last January, when the place and date for the national convention were determined, certain Populist editors in this state have apparently felt it incumbent upon them to harshly criticise Chairman A Rozelle. Tak ing their cae from fake interviews they allowed their distorted imagi nations to run riot with their judg ment and have given utterance to statements absolutely false. Chief among them is one W. O. Atkeson, editor of the Butler Free Press, the fellow who led a solitary, single handed bolt from the Sedalia con vention. From the last issue of his paper the following drivel is taken: "Our resolutions tying the hands of our State committee so that they could not do other than therein provided were destroyed by the adop tion of the "harmonizer" and will betotall ig nored. As it turned out the whole matter of union of electors with the democrats was left in hands of Chairman Kozelle and his committee to do as they please. The party as such will have nothing whatever to do or say about it. Indeed, it appears from the proceedings of the committee as published in the Sedalia Capital that Chairman Rozelle is not bound to even call his committee together to arrange so trifling a matter. And he is the same Kozelle who stood before the Missouri delegation in St. Louis after convention had adjourned and expressed his dissatisfaction with the nomination of Mr. Bry an, and prated about being in the middle-of-the road, and whined about certain criticisms of his ante-convention conduct in the Missouri world. But let that pass. We maintained before Sedalia convention, and maintain now, that it would be fair and right for the democratic electors to support Watson if our electors support Bryan. That was the gen eral understanding at St. Louis as everyone knows who attended that convention. As it stand9 Watson will get only three or four votes and Sewall will get thirteen or four teen in Missouri unless Chairman Rozelle gen erously concedes the whole seventeen to Sew all." The course pursued by Chairman Rozelle needs no further vindieation than that given by the new State central committee which unanimously re elected him as chairman. For per aenal censure we care nothing if men will alow malice to warp their veracity their own actions will con dean them. But whan censure takes the form of wilful niarepre aentatious relative to the aotieu of the state committee we think it time to call a halt. Who is this mac, At keson, who presumes to set himself up as an oracle of political piety and censor of the actions of all who do not fellow his beck and call? He is a netorious fusionist who came to this state from West Virginia, about sixteen years age, running for office, and has been a standing candidate ever since. Away from home, when ever he aspired to be considered a leader, he has posed as a straight, unswerving middle of the-roader at home when bis own personal inter ests were at stake he has neve.- hesi tated to grasp any fusion deal or scheme which favored his own elec tion. The most notable instance of his fusien propensities was in 1892 when, by very smooth manipulation, he succeeded in having his name placed en the republican ticket as a candidate for circuit judge against Lay. When defeated at tke polls, by the aid of Populist who coatiih uted money to pay the expense (some of whom he has since insulted aad villified) he carried his case to the supreme court and was beaten again. This same saint posed as boss of the ultras in the Missouri delegation at the national conven tion and suoceeded in making him self ridiculous. At the state con vention at Sedalia he undertook to carry out the role of bess and was iagloriously sat upon; then, like a spoiled boy, he led a bolt which no one fallowed. He refused to place Bryan a name on the national ticket until compelled to do so by the di rectors of the Free Press. By his contemptible bossism and domineer ing he has practicaliy disrupted the party in Bates the heretofore ban ner county of the state. We are not actuated by personal feeling in presenting the above facts we want the honest, intelligent Popalist of the state to know the manner of man who presumes te set himself up as dictator. What can be expected from such a creature? What credence sheuld attach to the utterances of a bolter, a man who publicly repudi ated the action of an overwhelming majority of the state convention? As such he is no longer to be con sidered a member of the party. It is a fact notorious throughout the state that his officiousness at St. Louis and Sedalia was prompted by purely selfish motives he wanted te be elected chairman of the state committee. Failing in that he al lowed his true character to manifest itself and he would . williocly nave disrupted the party. , To Cleanse the System Effectually yet gently, when costive or bilious, or when the blood is im pure or sluggish, to permanently overcome habitual constipation, to awaken the kidneys and liver to a healthy activity, without irritating or weakening them, to dispel head aches, colds, or fevers, use Syrup of Figs.

II Melton, of Clinton, was a passenger on Conductor Conner's train south on the Memphis road Tuesday night and witnessed a mur der tragedy. The train stopped at Mastin's switch to let a north bound freight pass. This is near the Missouri Kansas line, just on the Missouri side. A wagon road crosses the track at the switch, and a party of movers was camped in the road less than a hundred yards from the track. In their wagon wtre several women and children. Three or four men were standing in the road. As the freight train passed, the passengers heard the report of a gun and heard Con ductor Connere, who was on the rear platform, say a man had been shot. Maj. Melton joined the Con ductor and saw one of the men hold' ing a smoking rifle while another one lay prone on the ground dead. Conner called to the conductor on the freight to report the murder at the next town and then pulled out It transpired however that the man who did the shooting was a constable named Frank Hodges The man he shot was accused of stealing harness and had resisted arrest and steod the officer oft with a revolver. Hodges got a rifle and going to the camp, shot the thief dead when he resisted arrest.
