BUTLER MISSOUR WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 27,1556. aS The Gantt boom tor congress in this county rolls serenely along, and, tke the snow ball, gathers «s it goes. We can’t blame the Democrat for speaking ot Col. Stone in the most tender words, and for publishing ex tracts of sympathy, but we do think ne has taken a big job on bis hands in underteking to raise the dead, be- tween this and the next campaign. Ee To fly a kite successtully when we were a boy, we were always caretul not to weight itdown with atail. On the same principal we would advise the editor of the if he wents to pull Col. Pace through tor tailroad commissioner not to pin too Democrat ———...| We see from the Cass County Democrat, that J. G. Sparks, of Pleasant Hill, bas yielded to the camest solicitations of his mary fiends in that county, and announces riuself as a candidate for the State Senate for this district. Dr. John C. Whaley retires from the editorial chair ofthe Osceola Sun and Judge E. M. Vance.of Clinton, steps up into tie pilot house and ‘akes hold of the wheel. Judge Vance is a newspaper man ot considerable ability, a sound, unflinching demo- crat, and we predict the Sun will shine brighter and hotter than eyer. er eel Some of the southwest papers are presenting the name ot Hon. Chas. H. Morgan for governor of this state, We cheertully agree with thes Mapers that he is a man of integrity and would fill the gubernatorial chair with that same ability and fidelity which he has exhibited in rerresent- ag this aistrict in the halls of con- gress. The present hard times 1s due more particular to the extortionate railroad rates than to the scarcity of money. For instance, if a farmer has fifteen hogs ant wishes to ship ‘them, or sell them to a shipper, it just take about five hogs to pay the freight on the other ten, consequently instead vt getting paid tor fitteen is loserfive. Fortheremedy: Elect men to the legislature who will make a fight for a lowering of freight rates, and men that cannot be bought or bartered with. There is no doubt but that the very life blood of the farming community of this state is being, sucked by these railroad mo- nopolists, and will continue until the people take them by the throat and throttle them in their bold and des- verate effort to rob and plunder. The communications we publish elsewhere, speaking a good word ior Judge Gantt, were written by staunch and tried democratic farmers, than whom there are no better men “0 Bates county. Since our last oublication quite a number of gentle- «nen have endorsed the good words spoken by the Tims of the Judge, snd express the hope that he will allow his name used for congression- al honors. These are straws which stows which way the wind blows and, from all appearances, it will become a regular Gantt gale by the time the next convention 1s called. —_—_—_—E—EEEEEEEas Our esteemed namesake, the Kan vas City Times, lets its zeal tor Senator Cockrell run away with its jadgment.

The man selected should be a lawver of experience, talent,and above ali ot the strictest integrity. Among the numerous men whose names will be presented for consider- ation we nominate Judge D. A. DeArmond, of this city, and in so doing we feel confident no better or more satisfactory appointment could be made from the legal traternity of this state. We say this without Mr. DeArmond’s knowledge or consent, and because we know him to be a gentleman of fine legal ability, a torensic | resign his seat. forcible and convincing speaker, a gentleman of the strictest integrity,and would assume the great responsibilities of the position with all the ardor of a trained and brilliant intellect. He has already had some experience as a Supreme Court Commissioner. He has filled many positions of honor and trust and no word of complaint has ever been raised against him. He was one ot Missour’s sixteen electors who cast the state vote tor Grover Cleveland. David A. DeArmond would make a Supreme Judge of whom we might well be proud. HOME RULE DENIED. Poor Ireland, the prettiest land the sun ever shone on, with its vine-clad hills and beautiful fertile valleys; with its babbling brooks and fierce cataracts, its winding rivers and broad expansive lakes—a land which seemed by nature formed for the establishment of a Utopian govern ment; with her generous and im- pulsive sons, is the yoke of the oppressor never to be litted trom your humble neck? Is the black cloud of despair, which has hovered over yuu from the time of the in- vasion of King Wilham III with his victorious army in 1690, nearly 200 years ago, never to be rolled away and the bright light of the sun ot liberty to pour in upon your de- voted heads: The following clipped from a dispatch in the St. Lows Republican but too plainly tells ot the suffering and hardships in that land made accursed by English tyrany: A more gloomy state of affairs than that now existing in Ireland would be difficult to imagine. Torn with political troubles, in a tever heat ot political desperation, the dread spectre ot famine now stalks through the land. To make matters worse, there are rumors that the people’s cry for home rule and reliet from their sufferings is to be met with severe repressive measures in which the gleam ot the bayonet and the tramp ot the trooper’s horse will form the most prominent teature. Inshmen have been driven to despe- ration by vears of misgovernmenrt and efforts to assert their right to live, yet at the hour when it was hoped England was about to heed Ireland’s just demands the air .s filled with conflicting rumors, all tending, how- ever, to show that Erin’s cup oi bitterness 1s not yet full.

From the Columbia Merald There are on our books men 37 who owe us for five vears’ subscrip tion, which amounts to $277.50; 62 who owe us for four years’, $372; 197 who owe us for three years’, $886 50; 246 whoowe us for two vears’, $738; 571 who owe us tor one year—that is, the twelve months have expired—$856.50. Then we have a large number who are paid in advance. The total amount thus shown to be due us toots up $3, 180.- 50. We have worked hard for it, and the parties who owe us have been benefitted. They have received the paper each week, as we have shown above, without paying us one solitary cent therefor We purchas- ed the white paper, paid each week those who set the type and printed the paper, and the dollars earned by that outlay 1s represented by the sums above. Gentlemen, this is a crying shame. If you have any manhood left, do not leave us in the lurch after receiving our property for years. If you cannot pay all, you can a part.—Hoiden Enterprise. We greatly sympathize with our friend of the Enterprise, for, to use @ popular vulgarism, we have been there ourself. It is too iate to remind him that all his present complaint, diacomfiture and loss ot money would have been saved had he simply col- lected the money in advance and at the same time been spared the un- pleasant necessity ot thus appealing to and rebuking his former patrons. How many of the 500 or 600 persons whom he has thus kindly favored think more of him or have been ot greater pecuniary value to him on account of it?) We will guarantee that three-fourths ot them’ laugh at him on account of it, mozk when his fear cometh. But the publisher ot the Enterprise is only a tepresentative of the average proprietor of the country newspaper. No class ot people in the world do business in such a lement way, and, like all who thus do business, appreciated.
