Butler had a railroad meeting : ee Tuesday night, the fourth in the Nevada Democrat: The Butler series. We have not yet learned the object of the meeting or whether it was in the interest of the Harris scheme or not. The next meeting at Rich Hill will be when the boys walk up to the Captain’s othce for $20,- 000 capital stock in the F.S. St. L. & C. Railway. The above the Mining Review of the 30th ot March is chpped trom and conveys a wrong impression, even though it be not so intended. Evidently the Revéew will not in popularity by the publication of such squibs, neither will the Ft. S. St.L. & UG. Railway project benefitted in the least thereby. If friend Irish intends it as a joke, then it might be admissible at some under different cir- when gain be other time and cumstances than the present every effort is heing made to central- ize upon one common «interest, the raising of money to build the Ft. S. St. L. & C. Railroad. The meeting refered to was held m the interest of the Waters propo- sition; no railroad meetings have been held in the interest of any other ; no other proposition is now nor has been before our people concerning the C. & A. connection. If the Review desires to be con- sistent and at the same time expects to aid the progr of the Waters railway scheme, we would suggest that pressicns. a During the sitting of the Circuit Court which terminated last week, all the officers in attendance were thful an@ areto be commended. Clerk Jenkins and Sheriff Simpson were always on hand with their deputies, ready tor and ail duties. Judge Gantt, whose capaci- ty seems without limit, whose popu- larity and ability as Judge increases with each term, made rapid pregress with the docket and left few cases Ss it be more guarded in its ex- any behind. Of Mr. Silvers, Prosecu- ting Attorney, there could rot be too much said in his favor. Always ready, never mactive in the peform- ance of duty, and uniformly suc- cessful, he is indeed acquitting him- self nobly and efficiently as an ot- ficial. Out of the long list of State cases before the court just adjourned he never lost but one case, the Farris and Walker trial, in the prosecution of which he v assisted by Capt. C. C. Bassett, very eminent counsel. Nevada Democrat The Butler Trtes of last week contained a strong article in favor ot Maj. Bradley, of Bates, for Congress from this district. Maj. Bradley has many warm friends in Vernon, and, in case we cannot mame the candidate, we believe he would be the second choitée of the Democracy of this county. At least it looks that way just_novw The Republican press having howled itself out of breath over the calling of the extra session, are now giving us a rest. Times says that it 1s the wish of the Bates county Democra to remain in the Sixth District. Then it is the wish of Vernonthat the wish of Bates gratified. a peo- may be ie ple of Vernon do not desire to break | the ties that bind them to Bates and politically o1 Henry counties, cially, but would like to see them more closely united.

Down here in Missouri Republicans are opposed to redistricting because the Democrats will do the job. ———— We noticed in an exchange that the State could be redistricted, so as to send a solid Democratic delega- tion to Congress, without doing vi olence to the Republican principle Let it in our torm ot government be done quickly, then. The counties of Effingham, Bul- lock, Washington, Bibb, Harris and Randolph, in northeastern Georgia, were visited by a destructive cyclone on the 28th of last month; which ex- tended into southeastern Alabama. Some Democratic newspapers estimate that ten to fitteen days is sufficient for the Legislature o the work ot redistricting.

It was proposed to appropriate $50,000,000 for schools. which was more than the whole expense of the government amounted to a few years ago. Then there were harbor and = river bills and all the little crecks in the coun- try would be cleaned out, for no other purpose, seemingly, than to use up the revenues. He condem- ned the President for using the army as a police force and predicted that in afew years this government would be like European powers regarding standing armies. He believed in self-government, and that ment gov- ernment by the people, and local government ment gnvernment by the people of a locality. This was Re- publicanism, andto deny it was im- periahsm.
