An old clothes dealer illustrates in dustry in rags. Our farmers propose to havea green hack ooavcntion. Low crowned hats are to be worn in future. That's flat. Crowing is only a chicken roos-ter get people up before day. nnnr man naalwavs have his way. Nobody envies him it. Hayes has evidently started out in pursuit of his Southern policy. Haves is the only man who ever sought to make fraud respectable. The Clinton Advocate is one of the best Murphy papers in the State. There are no less than six narrow gauge movements projected in the 8tate. Cricketing is the Britishers' best holt They are not a success as rifle teams. The Tope isn't dead yet, but the car dinals are all getting ready to appoint his successor. The people of the Southwest are taking energetic steps to procure rail road facilities. When the working men all turn politicians, will the politicians become working men? The Russians are after the Sublime Porte in Constantinople. They are great drinkers. Goldsmith Maid is not young and beautiful like most maids. In fact, she's rather ugly. The'cry in Ohio is no longer "On, Stanley, on." He's about the worst off man in the State. Politics are running very low in Pennsylvania. They are only able to get five tickets in the field. Wendell Phillips is doing the hard money cause a great deal of good by advocating greenbacks. Sedalia can build a road to the Ben ton county line on the profits of one year's trade from the Southwest It, as intimated, Charley Ross was deposited in some Savings Bank, the last trace of him has been lost. Gen. Crook's theory of fighting In dians appears to be the best. Involve the tribes in war, and fight savage with savage. Mr. Stanley Mathews doesn't regard the Republican prospects in Ohio as encouraging. Mr. Mathews' prospects are in the same boat. We are surprised to learn from our neighbor, the Democrat, that there is to be any sort of connection between Beecher and Mrs. Van Cott. It is said that little Henry Sankey is one of the leading apostles of the Murphy movement in Holden. He drinks nothing but pure milk. The National Bankers get sixteen per cent interest on their money, and yet complain of paying one-tenth of one per cent tax on circulation. Gen. Howard would fight Joseph if he had the time ; he can't attend to the Nez Perces and the telegraph both. There is such a thing as overtaxing a man's strength. Is the EHterprhfrMonitor hankering after rag baby too ? The Bazoo is the only paper in Central Missouri which is keeping strictly-to the line of Democratic doctrine. It has been stated that in the event the Warsaw and Sedalia narrow gauge ia built, the freight on railroad ties from the Osage bottoms will pay the running expenses of the road. Our neighbor, the Democrat, is mis- ttken. They no longer need William Allen' fog horn in Ohio. The Demo crats rally in the sunlight while the Republicans flounder in the fog. Supplimenting the little unpleaeant neu among St Joseph newspapers, there is the faintest ripple of bad feeling in Kansas City. This is to be regretted, for brethren should dwell together in unity. A theatrical manager advertises for a doacn young ladies to play in the comedy of "Baby." It is evident the man was never a mother, or he would know there is no fun in the prod action of a baby. Those Democaatic journals which are coquetting with the working men and the greeubackers, ought to be off with the old love before they are on with the new. There is not much Daaiocracj in either of these new OUR BAZKOW GAUGE. It is hardly possible for the proposed make it equal to, and at par with Rold, narrow gauge railroad movement to by reduciug the price of gold and be brought too frequently to the at; j bringing both coins to the same stand tention of the public It is with Se- jard of value. It can then not only be dalia, not only, a question of supreme used in paying the public creditor but importance in a commercial point of paying the revenue?, and the silver view, but is in no inconsiderable de- gree connected with its future growth and prosperity. The Southwest is the great feeder of our trade. Sedalia is naturally its depot of supplies. But rail mad- reverse natural laws. Chan- uels of trade are formed by meu as well as well as by nature. A railroad extending from Warsaw iu the direc tion of Versailles, or Tipton, or Jeffer son City, would sap the foundations of the commercial prosperity of Sedalia as effectually as a blockade would do for a seaport. If we wait for those other communities to stretch out their arms and gather in the rich har vest of the Southwest trade, where are we to turn to replace the loss. Be sides, the conditions are more favorable to us now than they will ever be agaiu. The road bed already graded from Cole Camp can be utilized, and Ben ton county proposes to give twenty five thousand dollavs to complete it to the Pettis county line. This will leave us only fifteen or, at most, -eighteen miles of the road to build an ex penditure involving only a very small per ceut. of the profits upon the trade we are now getting from that part of j the country. But the road will do more for the country than even this. It will open up to Sedalia the rich trade which lies beyond the Osage hills, and which will naturally drift in the direction of the nearest railroad center. The rich productions of St Clair, Benton, Hickory and Polk counties would more than compensate, even in our local barter, in a single year for the cost of building this line. Aside from the fact that it shuts out all rivalry from any other quarter, it makes Sedalia a business center for the richest and most prosperous agri cultural region in the State. Sucli considerations as these are not to be slighted. But they derive additional significance in view of the fact that new sources of industry will be opened. Coal and lead mining will spring up along the route. The densely timbered bottoms of the Osage and Pom me le Terre.which already furnish two-thirds of the railroad ties used west of Seda lia, will then furnish them all. A com merce which is now floating down the summer affluents of the Missouri will then come direct to Sedalia, and be distributed through connecting lines of railroads over the country. These considerations have, of coursc.occurred to every mau who has thought upon the enterprise. But they need to he pressed home. Men should not forget that upon this road almost the entire future of Sedalia is depending, and they should omit no opportunity to give it the needed help to make it an unquestionable success. STEADFAST AND TRUE. The Bazoo is perhaps the only really -r-. uncompromising Democratic news paper in Central Missouri. While its contemporaries are divided in opinion on the working mens movement and the greenback insanity, and are feeding their readers on a milk and water diet of adulterated politics are petting orking men, cajoling the green- backers, and driftinir with a sort of helpless improvidence into all the ed dies, and tides, and whirlpools of po litical opinion, the Bazoo keeps stead ily on its course, an out-spoken and i fearless champion of Democracy, ft has all along contended that the legiti mate solution of our political difficul ties was in the success of the Demo cratic party. It has regarded the greenbackers and the working meuV movement as side issues; a diseased eccentricity unsupported by any tan gible views of political economy, and without vitality as influential factors iu politics. While one seeks to array class against class, and 'aspires to be come the exclusive beneficiary of gov ernment, the other is ambitious of doubling the quantity of money while proportionably decreasing its pur chasing value. The success of"either would he ruinous to the commerce of the country and fatal to its industries. It is as easy for us to have a sound sil ver currency the money of our fathers as it is to have a depreciated volume of paper money. It is not liable to fluctuations in panics or to contractions. At all times sound and reliable, it will give steadiness to values, and bring back to its accustomed channels the trade of the country. Having remnnetized stiver, there will still be under any circumstances, three hundred millions of greenbacks in cir culation. The luw expressly pro hibits tlje volume to be reduced lco;v j that limit A silver circulation nearly, if not equal to the present circulation of greenbacks, with the additional three hundred millions which Gin not be withdrawn, will not only give all the money that can possibly be needed, but will besides put the cur rency upon a eure and healthy foun dation. That is the Democratic idea, and it is the idea of common sense. What we want is a settled and stable currency, ample enough for the busi ness of the country. This the re- coinage of silver will accomplish. There is no stability in paper money. There is stability in coin. If sil ver is rettorad to the carrency uaicr the M coinage act, its fineness will added to the circulation would be equivalent to that amount of gold. By the same process the three hun dred millions of greenback, forming part of the currency and interchange able with gold and silver, would help to swell the acerecatc of the most stable, the best and most convenient currency iu the world. This has all along been the policy of the Demo cratic party, and its successful inaug uration will do more for the prosperity of tho country than all the working men's and greenback crazes that ever had an existence. CLASS LEGISLATION. There are two classes in this country who desire government intervention These are the protectionists, whether manufacturers or workingmen. Both are opposed to the genius of Democ racy and neither should receive any aid or comfort from it An industry that is not able to protect itself in legitimate trade is not worth preserv ing. A laborer who wants govern ment intervention to give him more wages than he earns, is simply a beg gar, and is deserving of no more con sideratinn than a public pauper. The tenderness with which the newspapers are dealing with the workingtnen's organization is simple folly. They are encouraging a class of hornets which would sting, if they had the jKwer, uot ouly the republic but civilization itself to death. The hard times arc no more oppressive to labor than it Is to capital. All classes and conditions feel it. It is a prevalent and periodic denression which is common to all commercial and industrial cotumuni tics. It is especially au incident of war. With us, as with all other peo ple, the remedy is in patience and economy. In this country, there is no good reason why any class of people should want for bread. If one indus try ceases to be remunerative, another can be sought, and buck of all lies a continent of limitless prairies and teeming forests waiting for the hus band nrin and inviting settlement. It requires no capital but industry no genius but labor. As long as these exist in such boundless profusion, the exactions of the workingmen, stripped of the surplusage of caut, is nothing but a menacing robbery. It is simply askiug that the farmer, the merchant, the lawyer, the banker, the capital ist every class of industry except that of the day laborer shall 1m? taxed to give them higher wages than their industry earns. It is demand ing that every farmer who ships a bushel of wheat shall pay a cent more for its transportation than the freight is worth, so as to keep up the wages of the railroad laborer. It never oc curs to the railroad man that he should go into some other business. He likes railroading, and he wants the commu nity to give him a gratuity for the in dulgence of his taste. This is a fair and legitimate analysis or the demands of the working men who are organ izing for the purjKise of menacing the government into making laws for them j as a class. They uant to make indus try a pensioner and lalmr a lieggar they seek to become the stipendiaries of economy and thrift, and demand that tho toiling farmer and the hard worked merchant the men whose genius and industry 1ms wehlied the iron avenues of trade and commerce and whose accumulations are the re sult of an obedience to that homely maxim which bids all to live within i...n i. . i r. lieuefit of a class who only wish to work eight hours a day, while being paid for twelve. They make a virtue of their improvidence and ask that thrift shall make it good. Until or ganized labor which is degenerating into organized tumult shall be told plain truths, instead if being potted by the press of the country, its un reasoning fanaticism will be the bane of constituted society. DECLINE AlfD TALL OF RE PUBLICANISM. Gibbou in his "Decline and Fall of the Ho man Empire," says of a great religious sect; "Jtssuccess led its great men to believe that it overshadowed the world. It priest iouaiu tJods and its laity demi-gods. Corruption and. injustice permeated it at every pore, and avarice. Jdoody. relentless, and remorseless, became its distiu-; guishing characteristic.

Lrgidatioa wm ofered to the highett bidder. In great meu became thieves, and pros perity transmuted into poverty, stalked, with skeleton fingers clutching at every man's throat through the country. Now what is it? Torn by distension, rent by one of those politi cal earthquakes which shake society to its foundations, it only finds a preca rious existence iu a half a dozen States where, a few years ago, it acknowledged no opposition and spurned the idea of rivalry as the! dream of a lunatic. Puffed with va- j nety ami inflated by corruption, the Republican party, like the old (reek church, has tumbled to its fall. Pow erful enough a few months ago w in augurate a President hy fraud, it has not now enough strength to give him an endorsement by a single State con vention in the Union. The supporters of his administration are limited to the men whom he appoints to office; and the part which, less than a year ago, was so terrible in its hideous in- lusticc is broken into fragment?.! "Those whom the gods iutend to de stroy, they first make mad." The rape of the presidency was the lunacy of the Republican party, lis injus tice its oppressions its gigantic rob beries of the public treasury its cruel and nameless atrocities in the Hotith might have been forgiven might have been overlooked or condoned by a country which it claims to have regenerated, if not altsolutely saved. But in the moment its imagined tri umph, the pillars of its greatness lo gun to drop from under it. The Pres ident it has inaugurated by fraud, de serted the dying and decrepit carcass and anxious to avoid the poisonous vapors it distilled, begun to plume his flight into regions of purer sunlight. He took away with him the brains, and what was left of the honor and in tegrity of the party ; and now broken into pieces like the fragments of a jointed snake, it is crawling about the country iu n iwrsistcnt, but useless, search for its dismembered head. Tiie probability is that wc have seen the hist of the Republican party us a po litical factor in the government of the Union. SPIRIT OF THIS PRESS. SENATOR CWKKKI.t., OK MISOti:i. Pitt.lurComitieietnl "lajietto itte.) Amid the congenial developments at the South, we receive occasionally expressions from public men from the South, so entirely in the risht spirit that it is a pleasure to quote them. Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, in a let-i ter to a friend at the iSorth, speaks clearly and earnestly for the complete reconciliation lietween the Xorth and South. He says : "Laying aside all sentimintalism, it is to the interest of every man, woman and child Xorth and South, East and Mfcst to perpet uate our republican form of govern ment and our present union of States. The people of the South, just as the North, have due regard for whatever, individually ltenefits their purse, or their physical or outward existence and comfort, or their inward or spirit ual existence. All these will lie best secure in the Union as it is and the Constitution as it is. Whatever Iiene lits Use Xorth benefits the South, whether so aimed or not.

LongBrncii, September 10 The great ocean swimming match between George H. Wade the American cham pion, and Frank Prince of St. Louis, the great Western long distance swim mer, for S50O a side, came off this uiteruoon in the ocean iu front of the Ocean Hotel, and attracted many spectators. The distance was five miles. George Wade, the Brooklyn man, is hut 20 years old, five feet nine inches high, weighing 172 pounds. Frank Prince, of St. Louis, is familiarly known as the Western giant, standing six feet five inches high, weighing 220 poumls,J and .2 years of age. Wade was slightly the favorite, though Prince had many strong backers among the western men who followed him. The men were carried out in surf boats with the judges and referee. At 3:.0 the word "go" was given, Prince lieing the first man to get into tho water. Wade caught up easily, and the men swam neck and neck until thevnearrd the mile boat, when Wade made a dash and passed it five lengths ahead of Prince. Price redoubled his efforts, and passed Wade a length alfead at the two-mile boat. Wade, who seemed before so fresh and swam with such ease, now dropped liehind, and by the time Prince reached the third mile hoat. Wade was five lengths in the rear. Wade then made a spurt, and soon made up the pap, they were now swimming iieek and neclc. As they reached the fotir-mjle Hag-lxKit Wade was seen to stop swimming. He seemed to Ik in dis tress, ami the judges' Iniat approached and at tern nod to pick him up, but he shook them off and niade another effort to swim. He had gone a short distance only when he again stnpjicd. It was now seen that the man had cramiH. His trainer. Win. Stewart, soon ti o:i rod him and took him into the Imat. Prince continued toward the stakehoat, which he pased just as Wade was being lifted out of the water, he winning the match in one hoar and seven minutes, three-quarters of a mile ahcai). The stakes were awarded to Prinoe. Wade, after being brought to shore, challenged Prince to im a a match next Sun day, at Coney Island, for $400 a side which 1'iincc aceptrd.
