“EDITORI AL NOTES. souri and Arkansas line. The Lawrence county Chteftain, | says farmers have begun breaking their corn ground in that county. ee Sedalia has acase of the small pox, and the authorities have set about and established a sort of quar- entine. During the year just closed, 432, 635 immigrants arrived at New York from the old country—an increase of 105,264, over the previous year.— The greater number of these people were from Germany. (ee ee The Carthage Daily Patriot, a valuable exchange, has recently en- larged to a seven column paper, all printed at home too. The Banner is also a good daily, seven columns, with a patent mside. Carthage is growing rapidly, and the fact is ex- emplified in the improvement of her newspapers. James Shaw, shot and killed his brother J. Morgan Shaw, at Mexico Missour, on Sunday night, the rst inst. The deceased had killed a younger brother in 1879, and it was to avenge his death that James com- mitted the deed. The whole trouble arose over the settlement otf their father’s estate. ere Riddlebarger, the new Republi- can Senator trom Virginia, cannot take his seat until a year from March 4th, next. By that time it 1s earn- estly hoped for the good of the coun- try, that his party, and the Republi- can party which created it, will be dead and buried side by side in the same Iittle pine box. Who can tell us how much Grant contributed to the Garfield monu- ment or rehef funds. We sinner and do not bet much, but we will go the subscription price of the Weekly Times for one year that he does not give a red cent. Poura few broad-siders into Grant, gentle- men, and let that negative, spine- less fraud, R. B. Hayes alone. are no The Republicans are now doing some mighty hard work to clear Cadet Whittaker of the crime of mu- tilating his own person. Judge Advocate, Gen. Swaim, is about in- duced to declare the court martial that convicted Whittaker illegal be- cause President Hayes appointed it instead of the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. It will be remember- ed that Gen. Scofield, in charge at West Point at the time of the out- rage, found Whittaker guilty, and No sooner was this done, however, when Scofield was removed, and a court martial fa- vorable to the prisoner, created to try tne case. The last tribunal sus- tained the finding of Gen Scofield, and now they propose to cast another stumbling-block in the way by ruling the court martial illegally constituted. so declared it. The prospects are pretty good just at present to bring another shin- ing-light and statesman of the Re- publican party to grief. We allude 2 no less a personage than John Sherman, ex-secretary of the treas- ury and now a Senator in Congress, from what was until recently the United States ot Ohio. Itis charged that honest John, during his adminis- tration ot the treasury department, laid his pious fingers on money be- longing to the treasury contingent | fund and used it in the construction | and furnishing of a magnificent resi- dence during that time. The}; committee appointed to investigate | this charge by the Senate sit with | closed doors, but enough is known | on the outside to warrant the beliet | that the committee are making a pretty thorough investigation of the | ° i charge, and that whitewash wont ! stick this time. There is rough | weather ahead for honest John, we hope. ————— “The Domestic Tyrant.” “The average man,” quoth Mrs Par- tington, “isa weak and trritable domestic tyrant,’ and Mrs P. is correct. Tyran- nical to a fault the average man wiil en- ter the blissful lise of a happy home scratch himself in fiendish glee, send the baby into convulsions, and for what? Wh because he has the Itching Piles, and too mean to buy Swayne’s Ointment, which is an le cure for the worst case of that annoying complaint. Jan 3, d&w 1m H. Martin Williams and Congress- man Hazeltine, are bobbing around arm in arm at the Capitol bearing a | Burrows, Chairman of the Territorial | striking resemblance to a couple of | Committee in the House, wilt short- lost sheep. Congressman Hazeltine has en- rolled his name in the Congressional Record at Washington as a ‘‘Green- back Republican’? member. How will some of our Democratic Green- backers who voted for Hazeltine take this? As all right of course, but will you vote for him or any other half breed again? It is thought that Samuel J. Tilden will be the Democratic candidate tor Governor of New York at the next election in that State. which takes place next full. Uncle Sammy would make it exceedingly interesting to the Republicans and :f elected, would have the inside track for the Demo- cratic Presidential nominationin 1884. We regard Mr. Tilden as the ablest of American statesmen, and a far- seeing politician, whose powers as an organizer are unsurpassed. His ad- ministration as Governor of New York showed him to be aman of matchless executive ability and the fearless foe to corruption and dis- honesty. The election of Mr. Til- den to the Executive office of New York, would be the beginning of honest rule again in the Empire State The Holden Enterprise and the J.-D. are having a rough and tumble fight just now, about who shall have the C. & A. branch. Pitch in and make the fur fly, we enjoy the fight. —[Butler Times. As usual the suckling quid nunc of the Timgs is off. The J.-D. never quarrels with dunghill chickens. By the way, it occurs to us the Times man is getting too efficaciously effer- vescent, at the expense of the J.-D. It may be that we will have to take the hind by the nape of the neck and introduce his head to his heels.— | [Journal Democrat. | The quilp of the J.-D. 1s on stilts and with that strut peculiar to the turkey gobbler, he spreads his tail and elevates his snout, which is as long as the tail of a comet and says we won’t quarrel with dunghills and threatens to take us by the nape of the neck and introduce our head to our heels. This is highly quixotic, but is onty the gush of a dirordered magination. Why, bless you. If you were to undertake what you threaten, you would present the ap- pearance ot an individual who had been struck by lightning, rua through a grain thresher, put up as a target at a shooting match and shot at, kicked for amonth by a mule,and then hung up by the heels and smocked with wet straw. You would have to pinch yourself to find out which one of the boys you are. We ain’t a dunghill. We are a Shanghai, we are. The Holden Enterprise is sick. I declares that Butler has joined hands with Warrensburg in the Chicago, Missouri and Kansas project.—Jour- nal-Democrat. Several days ago we gave the state- ment a flat contradiction in reply to a similar statement made by the Holden Enterprise, which could not have escaped the the notice of the Journal-Democrat. The animns of the J.-D. is apparent. Butler will not’ be dragged into a quarrel with either Holden or Warrensburg or any other point that desires either of the contemplated roads. What we in Butler want is another read, and we have no desire and will not an- tagonize any other point on the line of the two roads. Nor has Butler jeined hands with Warren burg in the Chicago, Missouri & Kansas project, nor has she espoused the cause of cither the Harris or Waters | projects. If Rich Hill, Holden and Warrensburg can succeed im getting j either of the roads wef&vill say amen. Butler’s interest will be attended to by its people, who wi all i cir | | i 2 people, who will do all in their | license to Mr. McCance to keep a | #t the Furniture Store at Archie, she | or night. also keeps a large stock of Sewing Ma- | power to assist in the construction of | i | chines for sale. the road that will come to our gates.

Janzd&wim Zz 1 The advices from the National , Capitol are to the effect that Mr. ly introduce a bill to prevent the spreading of Mormonism at present and also looking to the total extinc- tion of that vice inthis country. This is a question hardly second to any in importance tha will engage the at-| tention of the present Congress. — That Mormonism is a disgrace and | a shame to the intelligence and moral | sentiment of the present century no | man of correct moral ideas will dis- pute its baneful and demoralizing ef- fects upon its votaries to say nothing of its disregard of the law, which in some instances amounts to open de- fiance, call loudly for its extirpation. We hope Mr. Burrows will succeed in getting lus bill passed. But those Mormons are monied cusses, and there is no telling the fate of this bill. Hickman, the man ot whom we spoke a few days ago as one of the | gang that has been doing so much | thieving and robbing in Hudson township and as having jumped his bail bond and fled, was pursued and overtaken in St. Clair county and arrested, was brought to the city on! yesterday (Thursday) and conveyed immediately to Nevada in the custo- dy of deputy Sheriff Hanks. That | gang is being rounded up pretty | rapidly. That’s the way to snatch ?em bald-headed. SSeS SSS } action on the Ohio street commis- sioners report by the Council last evening (Thursday) was, that some dissatisfaction was manifested by some of the property holders upon the proposed extension and the clos- ing of Lyons street south. Will the day ever come when our citizens will for one moment lose sight of self and make the public superior to private interests, and unite and put through the various public improvement that are demanded by the rapid growth of our city? We hope so. 1 A gentleman who is built on the { *“‘Dutchman plan’’ from the country, dropped ina grocery house on the ; south side yesterday, called tor that article which cleanses the garment of all filth, but must have the C. B. & Q. stamp on it. A by-stander in- formed the gentleman the C. B. & | 1Q had not reached this point yet, } but the Mo.
