The
M.J. FANNING, editor of the St. Louis Sunday
Mirror, was the first editor in the State to discover the fact that Ross FILLEY
was laying a trap to capture the State Farmers’ and Laborers’ Union and secure
an endorsement of that body of the sub-treasury business. His warning was not heeded and Democrats sat
idly by and let the scheme be worked.
Mr. FANNING now announces the prediction that Mr. LEONARD, the
sub-treasury president of the F. & L.U. will be nominated by the
third-partyites and will be endorsed by the Republican machine for Governor of
this State in 1892. Some may doubt the
ability of Mr. FANNING to correctly prognosticate the future by his knowledge
of the past and present, but he is a politician of more than ordinary
astuteness.
_____________________________
The facility with which demagogues can take up
with a new political fad has been illustrated in the third-party sub-treasury
business. We do not claim all of the
sub-treasury advocates as demagogues, for we believe some of them to be honest
and sincere in their opinions, while many more are in it for policy, as they
think they see in it a scheme for dividing and weakening the Democratic party. For a man to
advocate a measure that he does not like just for the sake of injuring the
opposite party is not commendable; but it is politics as practiced by all
parties, and so we and staunch Republicans, who feel confident that the
adoption of such scheme would be the financial ruin of the country, openly and
zealously encouraging the movement in this State, because they believe it will
divide up the opposition to Republicanism and distract the attention of the
voters from MCKINLEYism. But the ones
who are making the most noise in favor of the sub-treasury scheme are persons
of no principle, who are ready to champion any cause that gives promise of
being popular, and to jump from one party to another as often as they think
they see any prospect for political preferment.
Having no fixed principles, they can talk as glibly on one side as the
other.

Father SCHRAMM purchased a span of grey ponies and

Maxville Union, having but recently been organized
and now has 28 members, will give a fishfry and picnic on the old base-ball
grounds of J.M. FREDERITZLE, on Saturday, the 12th last. A No. 1 brass band has been engaged, and
refreshments will be furnished on the grounds.
We are having lively times up here; our band is
continually showing up at different places.
On the 26th ult, they gave John HAMPEL a serenade, it being
his 60th birthday. On the 28th,
they and the people of the vicinity met and gave George ZIEGLER and wife a
general surprise, it being their 25th marriage anniversary, and
helped them to celebrate their silver wedding.
Dancing was kept up till near morning.
Quite a number of nice presents were given the surprised couple. George was showing a fine pocket knife,
saying some friend must have known that he was without a knife the past
year. He also had a case of good smoking
tobacco, presented to him by the firm of John WEISERT & Co., St. Louis,
which George claims was done to remind him that there was better tobacco than
he generally smokes – at least better flavored.
The general wish was that Mr. ZIEGLER and wife may live happily and keep
good health, until they celebrate their golden wedding, 25 years hence. There is another couple here, who will be
married 25 years Sep. 4th, and they will be taken in tow this
week. On the 30th John OTT
celebrated his 50th birthday:
our hopes are that he may live to seen many a birthday. Maxville,
Sept. 7. – Charles VOGEL and wife were tendered a
serenade, last Friday night, by the brass band and their neighbor, it being
their silver wedding. Quite a merry time
was had. It was also the birthday of one

near Pevely, had the misfortune of having his residence destroyed by fire last
Saturday evening. The building was of
logs and weather boarded, and the fire originated in a closet, and is supposed
to have been caused by matches carried in by mice. It was on fire twice during the day, but it

such a start that it could not be controlled any more. They saved nearly all the contents except his
clothing. We hear he had $300 insurance
on the house, and hope it is true.
