Gov. Mickey made no mention of
the alleged attempt , to swindle the
State out of bounties on wolf scalps in
his message. There is a deficit of
$32,000 in the fund provided for that
purpose.
TnE friends of Governor Mickey are
now engaged in apologizing for the
shortcomings in his message. As com
pared with that of the retiring Goveror
Savage, it is easily desernable that so
far asability is concerned, Savage holds
the edge over Mickey by considerable.

William J. Stone will repesent

Fealty to Party.
Here is undoubtedly a true demo
crat, and one after our own heart; and
by the way, one the ablest men in Mis
souri, and up to last week a candidate
for U. S. Senator to succeed George G.
Vest. Hon. W J Stone (as has long
since been conceded) received the dem
ocratic caucus nomination. We admire
a man whoso gracefulh' succumbs to
defeat as Mr. Wal acedid. The writer
has known him for a number of years,
and have always regarded him very
highly, but now we think more of him
now than ever.
In his speech the other night before
the democratic caucus of the Missouri
legislature withdrawing from the con

such as can emanate only from the
neart and voice of a truedemocrat and

ole to several seif-styled leaders of the
party in that state men who have

The president has carried his policy
of appo,nt'n negroes to office to the
extent of dictating the United States
district attorney at Boston the
appointment of William II. Lewis, a

tion that he would. He owes his
election to the democratic masses of
the state. They virtually instructed
their senators and representatives to
support him, and there was no possible
show for them to disregard their in
structions. Senator Stone has proper
ly earned the title, and in his election
merit and party fealty have both been
rewarded.
Senator SnELDON has introduced
a bill making the election of commis
sioners by the county at large, instead
of by districts, as is now done. His mo
tive is purely a selfish-political one, and
in counties like Cass would give the mi
nority party no show whatever for a
representation on the board. Under
the present system it is almost imposs
ible to keep either from being repre
sented, just as it should be. The bill
should not pass, but it depends upon
how it would effect a majority of the
other counties whether it will or not.
During the reception given the out

little man tremble with fear. While

In uttering these remarks he meant
what he said. He is a democrat. He he
lias demonstrated this fact in the past
and will continue to do so in the future.
Unlike one or two whom the Demo
crats of the Missouri legislature has
elected to positions of honor and trust
in that body, he will not return home,
and at the first opportunity, coward
like, stab in the back some democratic
candidate simply becauuse his repub
lican opponent suits him better. The
Missouri legislature has rewarded such
professed democrats, while their oppo
nents are honorable, incessant working
democrats, who belong to some of the
oldest and most respected democratic
families of the state. Just let them
keep on rewarding such treacherous
renegades as the present legislature has
done, for every time they do so they
simply drive another nail into the cof
fin of the democratic party of Missouri.
Tarty fealty should be rewarded, and
by so doing the party is always

democrats will find this out to their
They Must Pay.
The supreme court of the United
States have handed down a decision
stating that life insurance companies
must pay insurance money, regardless
of the clause man' companies insert in
their by-laws and constitution, in the
policy ior tne avoidance 01 the pay
ment of the policy in case of suicide,
whether voluntary or involuntary, sane
or insane. This will undoubtedly put
a stop to a great many companies try
ing to get out of paying the required
amount called for by the policy. It is
claimed that when an examination of
tne applicant is accepted and a po.icy
issued, no matter what may be the
misfortune of the one who holds the
policy, the company is liable for the
amount, regardless of the provisions in
the edicts of the company who accept
ed the applicant as sound in body and
health.
