Venor predicts dutumnal distur- bances. Rain came down as a small del- uge in the western part of Texas last week. Editor ot Grip, an obscene news- paper published in Kansas City, was arrested last week and fined $500. The Russian Jews have fallen out with Uncle Samuel and wan’t to go home to their mother Russia. Well’ let ’em go. fed Cloud now laysall the blame upon Woman's Dress, an ambitious Indian who desires to be chief, for threatencd insurrestion. A man by the name of Cox, liv- ing near Ashland, Ul., was-well! roasted by three mento make him reveal the whereabouts of his money. England has seized the Suez canal and Arabi must either surrender or fight. Will the other powers of Eu- rope ‘keep their finger’s out of the pi,’’ is the question. A train was wrecked on the Bos- ton, Concord & Montreal road near Woodsville, N. H., on the 21st inst. by a chain placed across the track by design. Atchison has received tour car loads of beer and other stimulants for the coming campaign in Kansas. It will be shipped throughout tne State in sealed jars labeled ‘‘acid,’’ | ‘*paints,’’ *tsimp,’’ etc. Efforts are being made _ in Chica- go, to raise funds to erect a monu- ment to the memory of john Brown. His widow lives on a farm in Cali- tornia and is 66 years oid. She vis- ited the grave of her husband at Chi- cagoa short time since. The grain crop in some localities of Germany have been completely tuined by a large amount ot rain-fall. ‘There was an incessant down-pour for ten successive days. Germany had a better prospect for an abun- dant harvest than she has had for seyen years. A wealthy farmer ot Saline coun- ty, by the name of Ben Poe, while intoxicated, committed an indecent assault upon a ladyin a store at Brownsville. Poe was immedia ely | arrested and lockea up. Poe was | shot last tall by William Moslow, at | Brownsville for insulting his wite. Clarence Wood fell through a hatch way in Kansas City a few days since and broke his leg. Mr. Wood was a stranger inthe city and had a letter of introduction to one to the rear of the building, his mind being’ preoccupied he fell through the opening to the cellar floor below a distance ofenght feet. The Bank of Missouri at Kansas City has transterred its entire busi- ness to the Citizens National Bank where all depositors can receive their money upon demand and where all debts due to them will be paid. The bank» was removed from Saline county abouta year ago. Tt has belonged toa few men who wish to retire from the business. of the members of a large firm on Deleware street. As he was going THE PXIMARIES. | A hittle more than three weeks | from to-day the Democratic party of | Bates county will be called upon to | turn out toa man at their several | yoting precincts throughout the coun- | ty and place in nomination the men) who are to fill the different county | offices tor the next two and tour years to come. The choice of the Demo- cratic party of Bates county shall be! the choice ofthe Butler Tres, and we shall gladly and without a mur- | mur nail to our mast head the gentle- men who receive the highest number | of votes. | We would like to impress upon the minds of the Democratic party of this county the importance of turning | out on the 16th of September and placing a good ticket in the field. | The material from which you are to} select your servants are and have | been before you for some time, and, H so far as we know, are all men of 1n- | tegrity, honesty and capability, and | whose Democracy is unquestioned. | They have certainly not hid their light under a bushel. Every fre path in the county has been traversed, almost every baby kissed, and the strong aim of the plowman made weary by their shake. So, having the candidates before them with the field thoroughly canvassed, nothing, 1m our judgement, remains for the Democratic voters to do but to turn out September 16th and see that the ticket is properly distributed over the county The importance of which they should neither forget mor ne-} glect to look after. If you tail to vote at the primaries you should not find fault with the work of others. So let every Demo- crat put his shoulder to the wheel, and let us give such a primary vote in old Bates as never was cast be- fore, and one that will make every Radical in the county tremble in his boots. Let no Democrat tail to turn out to the primary, is the word. 08. AND THE COONS. In proof of the old adage, tnat Re- | publics are ungrateful, we would cite you to the able and talented editor of the Reord, who, for many years, in weal and woe, in victory as well as defeat, advocated the | principles of Republicanism and fearlessly shook out the folds of the | bloody shirt and flaunted it, dripping with the blood of innocent yictims, | in the tace of .its opponent, now, on the eve of what they deem vic- tory, desert this able standard bear- er andrally around a less worthy champion. Bro. Aus. will unite with his colored bretheren who | are holding public meetings in a| number of the different States, con- demning the treatment they have re- ceived at the hands of the Republi- can party, and declaring they will come over to the Democratic ranks en mass if their claims to someof the *‘public pap’’ 1s not recognized. Read | the following extract taken from the Record ot last week: ‘Without stopping to inquire whether the Republican party is really unjust to the blacks who haye been in the habit of voting with it, or whether the colored men who now | contemplate a revolt in the Republi- | can ranks are ungrateful, whereyer any black man or number of black men come to the conclusion that they | have not gained by changing their | condition from one of entorced | servitude to one of party loyalty they | should lose no time im going over to} the Democrats.’” | hes now | The Morgan county bank tailed | last week, its President, J. B.Kelsey, | was arrested at Tipton, Mo., under | autherity of a warrant charging him with receiving deposits when his} bank was insolvent. Parties inter- ested in the bank are fully secured | by collaterals. The failure is said | to be caused by Kelsey’s operations in wheat. Total loss notover $15,- 000.

Ideas always out travel actions; | particularly is this so in regard to the temperance question in the United States. This isan issue that may be avoided for a time, but sooner or later the people will have to tace it and settle it. This being the case, it is clearly the duty of the people to look at it carefully, patiently and calmly, before any hasty action is taken. On the temperance question the people may be divided into three classes, namely, those who oppose in all forms the manutacture and sale medical and_ scientific purposes; secondly, those who advocate the use of intoxicants as a beverage with a moderate license law; and thirdly, those who believe in the indiscrimi- nate use of liquors subject only to the | will of him who drinks. In this article we wish simply to present the issue as it is looming up in various portions of our country and to give some of the reasons urged, fro and con, bythe respective parties in tavor ot each position, and what will be the probable result. The advocates of prohibition tound their arguments on the broad duction that intemperance is the pro- lific source of nearly all the crime and misery in our land, and that the use of intoxicating drinks is highly injurious to the individual himself They claim that their work in banish-" ing intemperance is clearly in the in- terest ot humanity. To enforce this idea they have recourse to the prison and criminal statistics of our country, all of which is confirmed by the daily experience of even casual observers. Then, to stop the drinking habit the high authority ot the state is to be invoked. The prohibitionists can not be ranked with either this po- litical party or with that. Neither can they be designated as belonging to any particular locality rather than to another. Ot those who reasonably be classed in an emer- gency with the prohibitionists are the church members and all others who believe in keeping the Sabbath as a day ot rest, and not of amusement, in- may and those who have experienced the hurtful effects of their own families, and the farmers intemperance in generally. to the measure will be tound in the towns and cities. The strongest opposition The opponents of prohibition hold That man,as a physical being, needs food and drink. These he must and will bave at any sacrifice. Since he will drink, although it may be an evil, let his drinking be regulated by law, and let the person who manufactures or | sells pay a revenue to the government for the purpose of carrying on this particular business. Just here there are differences among those who drinx liquors and beer. For stance, the Germans generally are accustomed to drink beer, the people of all parts of the country drink tea and coffee. It is a drink to them delicious and healthful; but the average American guzzles it and becomes a regular toper. Hence, among the opposition to the pro- hibition movement may he reason- ably classed the German element on account of the warfare on beer. Notwithstanding the efforts of a portion ot the Catholic clergy to in- culcate total abstinence among the lay members of the church, perhaps a majority at least would vote against it; while, upon the other hand, all in- as | tion.) Twelfth Congressional Banner. | Mr. Theo. J. Bolton, Chairman of the County Democratic Central Committee, with the commendable party zeal which has always distin- guished him, instructs to through our columns to all the coun- ties of this Congressional district, that he will present to the county ewing the largest majority for Hon, 2. sae ee . t Chas. H. Morgan for Congress, an elegant party banner, suitable tor convention uses, bearing appropri- ate inscriptions. The Democrat now takes occasion to serve notice on all of our sister counties of the district, that old Henry will | strive hard to keep the banner at home. The banner will be presented in the opera house of the county seat of the successtul county, with ap- propriate ceremonies.—f Henry Co. | Democrat. Altright. As well send the ban- | ner to Bates, for she will certainly | us Say poll the largest vote for Morgan. But then our Opera House will be | completed by that time, so we will | wait and set ’em up lively (to the | Henry county boys at the presenta- Terrill failed to put in his appear- | ance at the picnic at Lone Oak last Thursday, to discuss the issues of the day with representatives from the other two parties. He wants to | carry the Greenback vote of this | county and does not propose to | hazard his chances by meeting the champions of the other parties on the stump. Demceratic-Greenback tushion in Michigan will doubtless excite the virtuous indignation of all the Re- publican papers in the land, and j rouse a holy horror even among the organs that grind out nothing but praise forthe Republican coalition with repudiation m Virginia. The Republican party is not slow to make terms with Greenbackers when it has no other chance to deteat the Democracy, but that is not thought to be any occasion for moderating the term of disapproval, which it measures out to a Democratic fusion with the same element. There isn’t a bit of doubt that the Greenbackers are political buccaneers, whom both political parties should make com- mon war against. That is a devel- opment of common-sense not to be looked tor in politics, however, so it is but natural that the Greenbackers should go on making terms~ with either party as circumstances give opportunity, So far as they seek any genuine and commendable re- forms, they should be more 1in_ har- mony with the Democracy than the | Republican party, and that ought te convince the honest portion ot the deluded voters who call them- selves Greenbackers, that all the | good aimed at by their party can be best cured py voting with the | Democrats. In great part the Green- backers and Dermocrats are making a common fight, but no tusion movement can help the success of the common cause much as 2 close union under the Democratic banner. [—Republican. so They caught an improved bandit in ltaly the other day who was_in many acts anexact counterpart of Ja Hubbell. He was inthe habit of po: ing himself on a public highway and invitingjall passers-by to give con- tributions to a ruined church in the neighborhood, which he had taken under his protection. He- asked nothing but free-will otterings, but accidents were apt to happen to those who refused his requests, as they do to those who turn a deat ear to Hub- bell, and few people had the cour- age to deny him. —— At every station on the Russian | sailroads is a greviance book, in { which the traveler may inscribe his wrongs in any language he likes, and it is periodically read by the au- thoritics.
