Pierce Hackett. Chairman, J. C. Crark, Secretary, THE HARMONY OF IT. The Republican voices a senti ment, which in its superior wisdom it declares exists, that the main rea- son, the grand overwhelming, subdu- ing, crushing force which knocked the late jail proposition into smash was the fear with the people thatthe money if voted would be put into the pockets of the County Court and the rest of the “‘court house ring.’? So much worse then tor the Re- publican party, 1f from this we are to infer that the Republicans voted Any- body knews, who knows anything, that no one but a Radical or a Greenbacker ever paid a moments down the new jail question. attention to the wailing of our opera block contemporary for the past two years in its tirade ot insolent vilifica- tion of county officials; theretore, the only meaning deducible trom the Republican’s language is that its own party is responsible for the jail fizzle. But over at the other end of town there is another Republican journal Main Having lone —our venerable North street adviser—the Aecord. since resolved upon never missing a to deal ‘*Bourbonism’’ a blow, this ex-boss of the bloody-shirt chance era lights into the hiae-bound, moss- backed Democracy ungioved — tor their effort to impede all progress by voting down the jail. Now here we have the two repub- lican opinions on the cause of the jail failure, both nciled down into caretully worded sentences. Prot. «Andress is not here to rub the edit- ors on the head and evolve harmo- ny from their words by magnetic in- fluence, so what is to be done. Per- baps Dr. Turner of the Lone Oak Fournal can solve the problem, and to him we refer the matter without comment. PRIMARY OR CONVENTION. In ail probability when the Demo- cratic Central Committee meets on the 17th it will consider the expe- diency of returning to the convention plain of nominating county officers tor this year. There is a strong sen- timent among the leading Demo- crats of the county in favor cf this change. There is but one objection that can ne seriously urged against a change, aud thatis a very important one to the Democratic party. The old regime of the convention system in Bates county gave great dissausfaction to the people, and finally resulted mm the adoption of the primary clection, because of the -‘se- cret ballot’’ practice. Now, the majority ot those want— ing a return to the convention meth— od of nominating candidates, are em- phatic in their objection to the ‘‘se- cret ballot’’ and declare nothing but open vote’” will satisfy them or the party. Very well. But has it never oc- curred to these parties that, though the Central Committee can create the €onvention it cannot fix ics order ot business and declare in advance the rules and regulations by which it shall be governed. That function belongs to the convention alone, and the Committee has nothing to do with the matter of “open” or “*secret holding ot subject, but it can be seen now suck- ing out every corner since Butler has to robthe Medicine Lodge, Kan. bank and the murder of the presi- ot , | of Saturday had a full column Times dispatched 2 reporter ias tervi e tarmers a unplagiarized editorial.

In some localities the argument used agamst voting the $10.000 for the new jail was, the failure on the part of courts and juries to punish criminals as they deserve. Though very weak ressoning this will suffice always in case of such emergencies. Those who opposed the levy had to have something with which to bolster up their position.

Now Mr. Editor while it is true that there is no political issue on the question proposed and no one cares anything about the money question and no argument would change our opinions, yet we and many others would like to enjoy the literary treat ot listening to Mr. Tripp and Mr. Wilson. It seems that the good old days of joint discussions haye pass- ed by except now and then in a heat- ed canvas.

That which he has planted, he says, is coming up bet- ter than he expected. : Green Walton, of Summit, has fitty acres ready to plant as soon as the ground is sufficiently dry. He says he wishes he had gotten all of his corn planted before the rains, as what he did get in the ground is coming up well, and he thinks that farmers are Worse scared than hurt in regard to the coming crop. He thinks there is plenty of time yet te raise a good curn crop. His wheat looks fine. C. C. Harris, of Summit, says he does not intend to plant again until summer comes.
