There is not in this Union a paper of any national reputation or worth as a public teacher that is not in constant conflict with the managers of conventions and even in frequent antagonism to the people at the polls. Not one of the great journals of New York or Chicago would be willing that its usefulness fidelity as a guardian of the public interests should be measured by its success in running conventions and elections.

It wore out the lives of one generation of journalists to open the eyes of Mie Free States to the monstrous wrong and blighting influence of Southern slavery. It may wear out the lives of another generation of journalists to get the people arrayed against the election of bond-grabbers and the rascally attorneys of the great corporation maguates to office. No journal is fit for this great work if it falters before the opposition of. party conventions or shrinks from defeat at the ballot-box. The united power of ignorance, corruption and machine management may triumph over an press in many a convention or election, but the eternal years of God belong to the paier that boldly plants the seeds of truth, and no caucus power or popular apathy can prevent them from bringing forth rioe fruit.

A Commissioner machine or a "bar'i" may nominate, and party spirit may elect, a fce-moiiser like Ruoak-hkai) or a political jayhawker like Dieses, but, thanks to an independent press, they cannot sneak into Congress without having their past records to follow them and warn the whole country that they will bear watching. If the Post-Dispatch courted nothing but success in politics it would have a select corps of ward politicians and ballot-boX stutters under its control, like the Republican. It would send shoulder-hitters to primary elections and conventions. It would "stand in" wiih these rascals and help them when in trouble. In return it would exac service from them in behalf of its schemes.

That, we presunn'i would be powerful journalism. As a matter of fact, the Post-Dispatch cares nothing for the success of candidates, except in so far as they represent honesty and correct ideas. This paper has no friend but the people at large who believe in the principles of justice, honesty and decency, and it is its aim to tell the. Truth no matter what happens. A BANDIT HERO.

How Ion a must Missouri rest under the blight of these open exhibitions of sympathy and admiration for highwaymen and mur derers? Relieved of that, the last toil year would have increased her population to three millions and more than doubled her present taxable wealth. When Minnesota's subjuga tion of the Yot NCiKR branch of our world-famous band of robber heroes at last aroused Missouri to the work of putting down the twoJAMEsboys.it did seem that we were on the point of wiping out the disgrace that had cost the State so much. Rut alas! the closing scenes of their career now promise deeper shame and greater damage to her. My luring Ron Ford with the blood-money of the railroads to assassinate Jesse in his own home and in the presence of his wife and children, we induced Frank to surrender, but under circumstances and with popular and press demonstrations which raise the presumption that he is to be treated as Missouri's Prodigal Son rather than as the robber and murderer of her honest and law-abiding children. We see him holding a levee in the State capital and receiving call-from the Governor's wife and the official dignitaries on the day of his surrender.

We see Judge IIknky, of the Supreme Court, pro- lainiing this indicted murderer a man who be welcomed with open arms rather than with punishment. We see the prisoner's trip to Independence Jail converted into a triumphal progress with popular ovations at every station. We see the leading Democrats of Jackson county, and even the Republican candidate for Congress, Col. John T. Crisp, paying homage to Fkank in jail and offering to go on his bond for any amount.

We see this paragraph heading the editorial columns of the organ of Col. Hi'icnks. the Democratic boss of Missouri "We will extend Frank James the right hand of fellowship, and show him about the city, if he will only pay us a visit. lie would receive a right royal welcome In St. Joseph." We see Major Edwards, a loading Democratic editor and politician, repaying this courtesy with eulogies of Col.

IU'Rnes scarcely less glowing than be has printed about the heroic highwaymen themselves. In short we see every indication that the pardoning power of the Governor is to shield Fit an James, if it be not exercised in the jury box. for which the Democratic organs are preparing the public mind by labored articles showing the imimssibility of convicting Frank James unless his dead victims and accomplices arise from the grave to testify against him. Finally we see Sheriff Ti miikci.ak slaughtered in a Clay county Democratic Convention for the part he took in hunting the Jameses, while a large clement of the Democratic party of Jackson county has combined with the Republicans to defeat Prosecuting Attorney Wallace Iwvause he has won official distinction as the arch-enemy of the robber gangs. We know that no community should be held responsible for the mawkish sympathy which some cranky people will show for the worst of criminals everywhere.

Rut this grand rally about the person of Frank James is ithout a precedent or a parallel in any civilized land, and nothing but his conviction and execution can wipe out the shame of it or end the damage which the I career of his gang has inflicted unon tb a State. It does seem that we have reached the final crisis of that "war between two civilizations" which Maj. Edwards says is Umg on in jiissouri. Mr. Alonzo W.

Slatback, aninuiviuuai whose chief claim to distinction rests upon the fact that he is the law partner of Col. James O. Rkoadhead, rose in a meeting of Democratic ward politicians in this city last night and without personal provocation proceeded to apply a string of viie and viru-lant epithets to the Post-Dispatcii and its conductors, making charges which he knew to be false.

now pending you quoted certain language used of myself by Col. Alouzo W. Slay-back. P-wit: that I was "an impertinent young puppy," coupled with a statement on the Colonel's own authority that he had pock eted a greut many insults from me the day before; also, that the preM uce of the court and the lames in attendance laid alone induced him to pocket said insults. The Colonel also assured uie coiui that he was a brave man.

Now in Sinn le justice to the Colonel it must be stated that be did not use the lansohige quoted un til I bad toid the court several limes ui.u I bad no respect for him. and as be col rectly says, Induced him to uiseominue certain line of remarks by telling him that I would shin bis face Ht any time and place lie might ai-point except that court-room. That he declined this Invitation and pocketed those -insults," as lie misnames these expressions of abstract truth, be will be able to prove, as he says, by every one iu the court-room, and candor compels me to niiike the same Put when lie says that the presence of the court and the ladies restrained his valor, perfect frankness requires me to say that, on the oeiiirary, they acc nut fur it. In fact, so tar Irem being a brave nr.ai, the Colonel, notwithstanding his mi.lt titlo, is a coward. He dare not be brave except in a courtroom or a chur'-li and lit ill beg or cringe out of any difficulty into which his vaporing humor may have gotten him.

Any one" who remembers the published correspondence a year or two since between ban and a gentleman hom he bad called a creature' before the City Council, will see to what extremities cowardice may uo after a vaporing insult. In fact, I have so often seen the calf drubbed out of that lion's skin that the process would lack both neve'ty ami originality. Nov." the -Coieacl's" title I believe, is Colenel Alouzo AV.

OUR MAIL POUCH, A Cartl from Dr. Kliot. St. Louis, October 12. To the Editor of the post-IHspatch: Your correspondent "ti." has been led into serious mistake about "Dr.

The Globe-Democrat of Sunday makes a more astounding statement.for the correctness of which I do not vouch, as follows: 'Some idea chu be formed of the large sums of money paid by thirty humanity weekly for taking during Fair week when it is staled that liurtiiK the six secular days of last week drinKs were sold over ihe bar ol one of the leading hotels of this Notwithstanding the peneral accuracy that great paper, I cannot help thinking that' this is 1. yond he oossil il It i.iu tinie a niass, it would come to or 14,713 peri "i1- miirtoij me lypr-seiier pi one Iignre uMiij ii sieiuiu siauti msieau.

All this Is mere evasion, Col. Cmspis in favor of pardoning Fkank James, and the Journal will not and dares not deny it. It can settle all disputes on this subject with half a dozen words. Thk Globe-Democrat says, "The old rebel yell will le heard in Missouri as a consequence of the Ohio election' lint before that election the might have heard the Republicans of the Fifth District swelling the vohllne of the old rebel yell with loud shouts for Col.

When all the nominations are made, of all the parties, it will be the duty of the Fwr-Dispatcii, as an impartial public tribunal, to whom the people look for unprejudiced advice, to say what candidates are best qualified for the respective offices. In the meanwhile, as the nominations are being made we will point out, as far as we can learn, the character and fitness of the different candidates. Upon the whole, the Republican city ticket is both respectable r.ud popular. Only for one important office does the nomination seem to be decidedly weak. Four of the live candidates for the different Judgeships are either now, or have been, on the bench.

Judge Clover was tnany years ago Judge of the Criminal Court, lie is undoubtedly a man of ability. Judge GoTTsciiALK, the candidate for the Probate Bench, used to be Circuit Judge, and is a man of character and capacity. Mr. the candidate for the Court of Criminal Correction, has been for years, and is now, one of the Police Judges, and many years ago occupied the place for which he is now nominated. Mr.

Fkank, though a young man, is highly spoken of by the entire bar. Ife is the present law partner of William 1'atjsick, the ex-United States District Attorney. A more honest, conscientious, faithful, fearless and independent lawyer than William Patiuc cannot be found in this State. Mr. Fkank is a graduate of Harvard, author of some valuable law works a great student, a scholar, a gentleman and a hard worker, lie would make a good Judge.

Mr. Voof.l is renominated for the position he how holds. He is so well known that comment seems almost unnecessary. Mr. Vogel is a model ofheial and amply deserves retention.

Upon the whole, we repeat, this ticket is both strong and respectable. If it will receive the united support of its own party it will poll a very large vote. Whether, it will be elected in part or as a whole will depend almost entirely upon the action of the Republican donkeys of the Ledekgep.bek-C a VE.iEP.-Puneh-and- Judy order. There seem to be more Republican asses in this town than anybody dared to dream oi. iney seem to act as ii tney were in the pay of the Democratic bummers.

If the Republican reform donkeys will run a separate ticket they will undoubtedly Insnre the election of the Democratic ring ticket from top to bottom. THK MEASURE OP SUCCESS. Occasionally, a dingy, "one-gallus" specimen of journalism in Missouri imagines that it makes a strong point against the Post-DtspATcit and that it rubs us on a very raw spot by taunting references to the fact that the St. Louis Fair was a success in spite of alleged "attempts of the Post-Dispatch to break it down" by censuring Mr. Gkki.n.

This is the genuine hoodlum idea of journalism that if a newspaper does not everybody and everything connected with an enterprise, it is trying to break it down that if its censures do not have that effect, the censured party is vindicated and somebody else is disappointed as if anybody supposed that what concerns Mr. Chaki.es Grkf.n or any other one man could defeat the united efforts of the press and people of St. Louis 1 1 make our uniformly successful Fair unusually successful in this unusually favorable vear. If last Fair week bad been one of dismal rainy weather, bringing all our costly preparations to naught and re ducing the gate money to a triile, Mr. Charles (in ken would have been no more entitled to blame for that fact than he is to praise for the contrary fact that, iu this year of unprecedented prosperity and "gadding about," the city put forth her greatest effort to draw a crowd, and was favored with a Week of the most propitious autumn weather that ever shone upon the West.

We are also reminded by papers of the Hazoo type that our demonstration of his unworthiness did hot prevent the machine and the bummers of the Democratic party from nominating Hroadhead for Congress "a proof that the opposition of the PosT-Dispatch means success to the opposed." This is the hummer journalist's idea of journalistic success, but it is not ours. Strange as it may seem to the hoodlum element the profession, we are rather proud of the fact that the machine politicians and t'Vjeir toois, together with the gamblers, tho thieves, the dance-houses, the ring manipulatory and the attorneys of corporations and predatory combinations of all sorts, have abundant reason for their hostility to the PosT-DisiATt ii. and are always ready to unite against it, to uphold and defend all whom it exposes and to make war on all whom it supports. The journal that Is "in with" the machine, managers and is opposed to control nominations and lav down work for party conven- tions, is the blear-eyed, driveling relic of gone age, and has either abandoned a rifinri and the Huntsville- Moberly Fight, The Prohibition Movement--Letter From the Post-Dispatch's Roving Correspondent. Special Correspondence of he Post-f Moberly, October 12- Moberly is the commercial melropobs, the political capital of Kantlolph.

Hunts Ule, some seven miles out, is the com.ty-seat a id Kan dolphis just now divided against itself in inter ueclne strife on the county court-house question. Moberly wants the seat of government moved here, and Huntsville wants the heat of govern ment left where it is. Probably never in the is tory of American politics has such a burning question been nit to the arbitrament of the ballot-box. The people are thoroughly worked up, and such evangelizing and rrosclytiih.g has seldom be. r.

seen west of the Mississippi. Everybody is eithei for Moberly or for Huntsville; it is a case of Under which King, Bezoniun? Pk or die. Some thirty miles out of Moberly two Randolph county gentU tneu boarded the train.

It is an open secret that they rule States through procured Legislatures and corrupted courts, that they are utrong in Congress, and that they are unscrupulous in the use of the means to conquer prejudice and acquire influence.

The Anti-Monopolists recognize the ights of capital as well as of lalior. We appreciate the benefits which corporate organization has conferred upon the human race. We will labor as steadfastly to maintain the rights of corporations as to en'orce observance of their duties, but the time has come when the mutorganizrand work to counteract the malign influences which have become so potent, in all jwilitical parties, oblige these parties to live up to their professions, and rest rn in the power for evil wielded by a few unscrupulous men who have obtained control of the great forces of the century, and who in their use recognize no principles of action but personal and corporate aggrandizement.
