The records of ne city are filled with ordinances, general and = special. many which are practically obsolete. Some of these were once in printed form, but we are advised that but two copies are in existence. The remainder ot these old enactments of our local Legislature are mereiy spread upon record and never been printed in any Succeeding Councils and Attorneys have about lost track ot these, since there is no index to tell where they are. : The present Council very good one to make the needed _revis- ton. There is eminent legal and busmess ability among the members which is neccessary to the success of such an undertaking. The time is tripe for the work and every consid- eration demands that a culling out be made and nothing left but that which is wholesome and that which c.n and will be enforced. When the revision is completed have the entire hist printed tnat a larger number ot the public may be— come informed as to what our city laws consist ot. Jas. C.

The silver headed tathers who wore the blue and the gray are ‘ast passing to their reward, and the become natured in thought and feel- img. Prejudice is no longer the stan- dard by which bravery is measured, nor defeat a bearer to honorable re- cognition. The men who fought the battles have tired of the hipocra— cy of politicians and are going to make the Umon a union indeed, a common brotherhood emanating from a common ancestry. From various parts of the State come the news that the ex-Union and ex-Confederate soldiers will join hands on Decoration day. Here in our own city the ex-Union mer have declared the same sentiment, and the ex-Contederates are especially and earnestlv invited to assist in the cele- bration of the occasion. Though it comes at alate hour since the dawn of peace, we are happy to see the followers of the dead flag show a spirit of fraternal feeling, and grasp the extended hand of their tormer foemen in arms as_ readily as thev once did the musket. Let all, therefore, spread the veil of forgettulness over the animosities of that unholy con-— flict. THE OOUNTY UAMPAIGN. The political campaign in Bates county is commencing. Candidates have been announced in surrounding counties for three weeks, while Dr. Churche!l’s name has stood solitary and alone at the. head of certain Bates county pupers. We say this is wrong, for it takes lots of wind to run from now tll September 6th, besides dont have to carry the announcements so long. ‘boy have unite and can not the newspapers aspir- secret But the ambitious, restless ants cant stand to hold their any longer, and they must now rush to the first Democratic newspaper and announce. The country coming alive with candidates, and all that 1s needed is just to beat the brush and they’] swarm into the ring like flies around the head of a sugar barrel. ‘The Times the and promises to give all the of its extended circulation. for none of you till you are nominat- ed then you are our choice henceforth and torever, first, last and all the time.

Love your antagonist with all your heart, and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That’s all. A WORTHY ENTERPRISE. To-morrow the citizens of Archie, Cass county, will be honored by the assembling of a joint convention of the Blue River and Butler Baptist Associations. To them there much depending on the deliberations of this body. The location ot new Baptist college tobe erected in this section somewhere, is to be f- nally determined. The enterprising, generous people of Archie have ask- ed thatit he erected in their city, and besides donating the grounds have subscribed $2,000 in money. We believe no other point has so- licited the college, hence Archie stands more prominent just at this time, and is entitled to the conven- tion’s most earnest consideration. is be- welcomes boys benefit We are is the From the zeal with which the en- | terprise has been furthered. it is plain to be seen that such a commu- nity would throw around the institu- tion all the fostering influences neces- sary to imsure its permanent succes Religious and temperate in their every day lite and habit, intelligent and enterprising to that degree which give high character and Tepu- But the bitter memories of the great} that Mr. tation, the good people ot this young city are the kind among whom | remains to be wore tully demonstra- he is we |to place the youth of the country ! while seeking an educati Til- gation It now trar i dens conference with tt weeks | from the Pacific coast some ago, has been hiously repre- It | reported that Mr. Tilden decls j sented as to the results. s been ared at that time in unmistakable terms that ! he would not accept the Democratic { nomination for President.

Said Mr Walters: “Tam not for Marmaduke, and the paper with which Iam connected 1s opposing him. but I think the sen- timent in Bates county is very large- ly in his tavor, and that he will get a part ot the delegation. ’” Only ‘‘a part of the delegation’’? Brother Wade should repair at once to Kansas City and be interviewed on the ‘present status ot Bates coun- ty politics.’” W. O. Jackson announces himself tor Prosecuting Attorney before the Democratic convention. Mr. Jack- son is at present City Attorney for Butler, a position though not giving a very wide range for an exhibition of talent, he has filled with credit and honor.

In the report: of the Democratic Central Committee last week, the Times tailed to state that at Butler meeting, the convention to be held June 7th would appoint delegates to the Congressional convention as well as to the State and State National. It was also declared by the Committee that the convention for June 7th, and the county nominating convention ot September 6th, be called tor ro o’clock mstead of 2 o’clock. as has been the custom.
