"Lest we furpet." the constitu
tional school fund amendment pass

owner to pay a perpetual state in

the "full and final extinction of the
bonded debt of Missouri" is not
poibie. Tor this the people nre
indebted to "the great Democratic
party," as Cockiell eloquently ex
presses it.- Missouri State Repub

collecting the internal revenue by
the government, as is done now and
turning it over to the states from
which collected, and paying ;he en
tire expense of the U. S. government

practical use there would be no such
thing as state tax to be paid on per

citien of Missouri. Then we could

Col. Sidney G. Cook, has been
appointed govenor cf the soldiers
home at Leavenworth, Kas. We
do not believe a better man for the
place could have been selected. We
have hzd evidence of his good will
toward the old soldiers by hi prompt
ness in quite a good deal fcf corres
pondence we have had with him in
getting old comrades into the home,
while he has been one of the board
of managers. We predict he will
prove to be the best governor the
home has ever had.
Mr. J. W. Crum is confined to
hi home with rheumatism, possibly
for ail winter, as he was last win
ter. He served over th'ee years in
the army, has not been able to work
any for two or three years, and yet
gets but $6 per month pension.
The pension oflice rejects his appli
cation for an increise, when all his
neighbors know he ought to have
the full limitof the law of 1890,$ 12
per month. It is such injustice as
this that makes the pension office
management unpopular.
What a wretched sinner that
man Vandiyer is, according to tbe
Huntsville Herald (Dcnl.)lor "de
serting his post of duty at Wash
ington to take charge of the polit
ical campaign of Joseph W. Folk
fcr governor." lie ougnt to re
sign, lie's the fellow who
franked his dirty clothes home,"
'he can't be nominated again. "he
wants something to "fall onto,"
he's one of Folk's "anointed dic
tators." Oh, he's just terrible,
he's awful, but he's a Democrat
just the same.
You can scarcely pick up an anti
pension yaper without seeing the
statement of the enormous amount
of money that has been paid to
pensioners. They seem particular
ly anxious to make the figutts at
latge as potVible and as prominent
as type can make them. But has
anyone noticed any statement, in
any paper, of the amount paid to
the boud holder.? Yet this amount
has been neatly twice that paid fvr
pensions. The soldier offered Lis
life, a priceless jewil, upon the
altar of his uounlty, while the bund
holder only offered bis money, filthy
Ivcre, 011 the altar. Do you see the
difference ?
The State Tribune, the democrat
ic organ at Jefferson City, says, in
relation to the Morrow case being
thrown out of court, "it would be
only the commonest decency to a
man who has been wionged if these
same partisan papers ould clearly
explain to their readers -that Mr.
Morrow is an innocent man with no
shadow of suspicion left upon bis
character." And yet the same pa
per says of the action of the cojrt
. in the piemises, "his decision was
practically a complete exonoratior.
of Mr. Moirow." If there is any
doubt about Mr. Morrow'a exoner
ation, it would liurdly be proper for
puitisuii papers to inAe upulugirs.

THE BUTLEIl MISTAKK.
"First an' foremost, the court
says that the evidence of the man
who swoie. at Columbia, that But
ler offe.ed him a big roll o' money
is true, an' must be given its full
weight. The court says that the
attempt to bribe was proved as
clear as daylight. Butler wanted a
new contract from the city at double
the price of his old one, an' ao he
goes around shakin' his money un
der the noses of the men who had
the givin' o that contract. They
had the givin' of it, an' they did
give it, an' Butler got it, an' has
since drawn over $450,000 out of
the city treasury on it All that's
as true as gospel, the court says,
but although them men did let out
the contract they had no aight to do
it. The man whose vote Butler
tried to buy with $4500 had no legal
vote to sell. He did vote, though,
an' Butler got the contract, an'
after he got it he went around to
that man's bouse aga'n, an' offered
him the same $4500 he had offered
him before, decause be, Butler, had
got what he wanted, an' as he had
promised the man he was talkin' to
that, if he got that contract, an' the
man he was talkin' to voted to give
it to him, be would pay him $2500
he had come around with the mon
ey to prove that be was a man of
bis word.
That's the record, the court says.
I guess they won't put me in jail
for sayin' the same that they do.
They say the attempt at bribery was
as clear as a whistle. But, they say
the man Butler was tryin' to bribe
hab no right to vote on the contract.
Of course, there's a law against
bribery an' attempted bribery. The
court don't deny that. A mnn who
tiien to hire a public officer to do,
or not to do, his official duty i
guilty of a felony. The court don't
say no. It daren't. But it says
that if you make a mistake In pickiii
out the public officer you want to
biibe, it lets you off an nothiu' can
be done with you for tryin' to bribe
an officer to violate nis oath of oflice.
That' what the couit says. Mnd
you, 'ain't me sayin" It, I wouldn't
say such a thing, but 1 have no con
tempt for the supreme court. Don't
forget to put that down. Old Tol
ition in Globe Democrat.
The matter of feed h of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his cows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
;.t the most eggs. Science.
Hut how about the children ?
Arc they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle fxxl if they
are thin and weak and a blood
ftMxl if there is anemia?
Scott's Kmulsion is a mixed
focnl ; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. It is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.
SYLLABUS.
(1) A tin can less than five
years old is not municipal garbage,
unless deposited in the heap svith'
malice aforethougnt and a deliber
ate intention to impose an unnec
essary burden upon the conti actor.
(2) If A purloins a chicken
from his neighbor B, the offense
is not poultry raising within the
meaning of the law, unless it can
be shown that the lifting was done
in the dark of the moon. ,
(3) la an action for bribery it
must be clearly proven that,, (he
man offering the indncement car
ried an up-to-date calendar, and
that both parties to the transac
tion were clothed with full author
ity to deliver and receive the goods.
(4) The phrase, "What Could
We Do?" is not a judicial one, and
can not be received in a court of
last resort. What We Have Done
is a sufficient augury of the future.
