This order means the bald heads shall have a chance at the loaves and fishes. Joe! B. Gentry, a prominent young farmer of Pettis ccunty, and son of Maj.

NO BULLDOZING ALLOWED The same old bulldozing cry comes from our esteemed contemvorary across tne way that st invariably talls back on when pushed to the wall, that of praising its own democracy and impugning the honesty of every one who dares to go contrary to the wishes or exposes the tricks and schemes of that particular little po- litica! clique or ring to which its ed- itor belongs, characterizing all such as bolters and renegades to the dem- ocratic party. For ourselves we care nothing for such seaseless bosh, we were born and raised a democrat and if 1t be a fault to love the grand old party with the principles and precepts it teaches, them most grevious!y we have sinned. We love our party too well to stand quietly by and see its fair escutcheon besmirch- ed or its banner dragged through gate macoine shops in that city. | the mire of political corruption and | Nevada is on the wing tor every-| chicanery without raising an arm in thing good in sight, and the wonder | its defense.

This week we been accused of bartering away a principle for an office, though we boldly assert that the opportunity was offered us, and was disdaintully spurned, we would scorn to sell our birthright for a mess of pottage. The Democrat says that sts eastor could not be bribed by a post-office to support Hon. W. J.

These coupons, promyse them with the rest, which are in dispute, with accrued interest amounts to about $300 per coupon, amounting in the aggregate to about $2,700. The court desires to know the wishes of the people ot this township on the matter at an eare ly date as they will have to make an answer to that court. A mass meet- ing should be called and the people discuss the matter and have st settled either to refuse to pay and let the court fight the matter, or authorize the court to settle them with the rest. Our esteemed namesake, the Kan- sas City Times, lets its zeal tor Sen ator Cockrell run away w'th its judg- ment. In one brath it lauds anyone who happens to speak well of the senior Senator to the skies with eu- Dhoneous and highsounding utles, and speaks disparayingly of any and every man whose over zealous friends should happen to point to as a pos- sible Moses to lead the Democratic Party out of the wilderness. We do not believe that Cockrell’s chances for re-etection hang on so slender a thread, In either event fet justice be done, though the heavens fall — Butler Times The Kansas City Times is aleo the Gazette's esteemed contemporary, and we protest against all this talk on the part of our good friend of the Bates County Timxs about the heav- ens falling. There us going to be a fall undoubtedly, a fall which wail make Warrensburg put on sackcloth and Jefferson City roli itself in the ashes; but the heavens will abide, justice or ad justice.

IMMIGRATION. __—.e—_ Spicy Communication From a Gentle- man well Posted on the Subject. comes Mr Ep Times:—To one who eral vears and who has met and con versed with people from various ec: tons of the umon, it seems strange that this state has not heen better ad vernsed, as a home for enterprising neople who desire to change location. There is no better country within the domains of Uncle Sam than the much abused state of Missouri and particularly thet part tving south and east of Kansas City, While it is a grand empire of wealth in itself, on- Iv partially developed, yet there is more of its sister states looked upon with more obliquity by eastern peo- ple all the way from Maine to Geor- gia. They know there is such a cocntry as Missouri, and in some manner have conceived the idea that it is not a desirable place to locate a home. This idea may have arisen from the talse and injurious reports sent forth by mean partisan journals ovt of mere spite, or prejudiced against the state for putting a certain party in control of its government,or the idea of the undesirableness ot Missouri, as ahome, may have arisen from some other cause, but it has moat likely obtained for the reason that the state has failed to properly advertise its advantages and resour- ces. In other words the people ot the state have tailed to use enough printer's ink. While other states and territories have been up and doing this state has been negligent in pub lishing to the world its great unde- veloped weaith; its rich black soul, capable of bringing forth millions ot bushels of all the cereals known to agriculture, its iron, its stone, its lead, its timber and coal, its fruits in greatest abundance known to the and many other sources of wealth which cannot be called to mind. try and who have considered the possibilities in store for at least the th ts been absent from Mo , for sev— | ! { ; | the suggestion that something ought That the people ought to take hold ct the matter and see | te it that they are nolonger left out iit the coid neglected, while the stream of capital and unmigration | fows by us. to be done. | gauisation be tormed by and between | j tue counties i: | trict to properly advertise southwest Missouri, and secure, if possible, a temperate climate, its water purer, | More facts which doubtless will be | admitted by all who know the coun- | southwest part of the state lead to! his congresstonai dis- ; ¢ fA month and board tor $6 young men or ladies, a be county.
