WEDNESDAY, NOV, 23, 1882. ——— THE GRAND JUH#Y’S REPORT. Elsewhere in to-day’s Times will be fcund the report of the Grand Jury, summoned at the present term of the circuit court, relating to the county jail. It strikes dtrect to the point to be reached, and 1s stripped of all ambiguous language. It 1s no new thing, however, to read this report, for the same case has been treated in a similar way often times before. Words and phrases of condemnation of the But- ler jail are about as familiar to the people as the noon-day sun, and yet not aninch has the county court ever seen fit to budge. . That the infernal old rookery around the corner, titled a jail, is a dark, filthy splotch-on Bates county’s fair name, no man within her bor- ders—unless we except Tom Irish of the Rich-Hill Review—will tor a single moment question. And what makes it all the more disgraceful 1s the fact that the county is quite able to afford a_ better building. Until Bates county can erect a new jail she had better renounce her title to greatness and occupy a position more appropriate to her sphere. THE RAILROAD. Judge Waters wasin town Thurs. day and Friday of last week in the interest of our new railroad. He had come from the north where he finds everything in satisfactory work- ing order. The committee at this place who held thesubscription notes and the deeds to right of way, turned over all the papers to Judge Waters and took his receipt theretor. The right ot way, with the excep- tion ofa few gaps, has been ob- tained trom Butler to the northern line of the county. Judge Waters went from here to Rich Hill to straighten up the business at that point, then he will go to New York and make his final report, after which work will commence. We understand the parties furnishing the capital for the road are urging that work begin as soon as possible. There is no longer any room to dout the early completion of the the Ft. Scott, St. Lous & Chicago railroad. HYPOCRISY- The Republican of this city re- publishes in its last issue the follow- ing which appeared in its columns under date August 25th 1882: The Republican is not a temper- ance paper, neither is it a whiskey organ. But at the same time we think that the temperance question should be kept out of the realms of politics. | The temperance people ought not to endeavor to make it a political issue and must not if. they hope to succeed in Missouri ”* : Standing in full view of the Re- fublican’s conduct since the above quotation was its expressed faith. it would be dificult to conceive of any thing more ludicrous than its record has been upon the ‘temperan question.”” To assert that the Re- pudlican’s campaign stock-in-trade was the personification of ali that could pz conglomerated af Prohibi- | tion Religion and Politics, does no | injustice to truth or the sacred ele- | | } ment in the heterogeneous mess. If the Repudlican has not advocated the plending ot Prohibition, Re- gion and politics then we have no conception of the import and mean- ing ot the English language.

We found nine prisoners cramped up in a small ceil not sufficient to accom- modate more than half that number. The prisoners say they are well treated and well fed by Sheriff Simp- son. The cell in which the priso- ners are kept in is a filthy place, not fit to pen hogs in much less human beings, but is as clean as can be ex- pected under the circumstances. | We consider it unsafe, unhealthy and too small for the safe keeping of the_ prisoners, that are constantly on hand, and further, that it is not treating the Sheriff, who is respun- much about its affairs as her own| the map, had made a dreadful mis-} ciple tor the sate keeping of the citizens.
