Considerable complaint is being made by tax payers who have to go to two places to pay their city and township tax. <A kind of precedent lias been established to appoint the township collector city collector and Mr. Bell has been doing the city collecting for several years, satis— factorily to all parties. The books were turned over to him, as usual,by the city clerk, and Mayor Brown appointed him and he was confirmed by the board. Now why is it, with out any complaint as far as Mr. Bell knows, or without giving him a hearing, he is decapitated and another man appointed? Mr. Bell iead already extended the tax on his eccerpts and he could collect closer and with far less trouble.

No, we do not claim a saw mill hand any more than a representative from any other honest vocation in dite.

The Times has time and again raised its voice for har- democratic ranks of mony in the Bates county, and would willingly make any reasonable sacrifice to the attainment of such a result; but we would ten thousand times over rather have war—war relentless and to the bitter knite—betore we would stand quietly by and see manhood sacri- ficed and the people's rights trampled in the dust by a few dictators, who would sac weal to the promotion of their own ends. We heartily agree with the Jasper County Democrat that the only way we can purity our party and keep it popular with the people is to lop off the barnacles that are obstructing progress and bringing disgrace upon the party name. The simple tact that a man has been ele vated to position by the votes of his Party, does not make him intallible and his acts above criticism: on the would-be ce public contrary he is just in a position where a little just criticism is neces- Saryv. — FARMERS’ MEETING.

Blizzard Acquitted. Jefferson City, Dec. 15.—The convict Frank Bhzzard, charged with the murder ot a fellow convict named Bradley, in 1884, after a trial lasting until last Saturday, was this afternoon acquitted. Prosecuting attorney Ed Stver officiated for the state and Louis Wagner, a young attorney, for the defense. Blizzard is trom Bates county, and has served about six of his seven years’ sentence. His plea was selidefense. The evidence was quite strong tor the state, while the defense relied entirely on convict testimony, Young Wagner handled the detense with the skill of an old attorney. The Appleton City Journal is authority (not considered reliable in this case) that Judge Gantt will be a candidate for congress in this dis- trict next tall. The Butler Times would no doubt support the Judge as against Horn. W. J Stone. The Democrat would stand tor Stone, but would like **mighty well’? to know before hand who would come outahead.
