WATOH IT OLOSE. The chairman of the Democratic Central Committee ot Bates county made # call for the meeting of said committee, countersigned by the Sec- retary, and decause the editor of the Democrat was not consulted in the matter, he refuses to publish the call and telis his readers that it is a trick and scheme, and insists on ‘ail members being on hana and see what’s up’ ’") That was what the call was made tor to get all members of the committee together. Mr. T. Polk James was considered honest and worthy enough by the democratic party of Bates county to put him at the-head of the organization. His honor and his democracy have never before been impugned. He had the tight and it was his privilege and duty to make that call, and there were no obligations compelling his seeking the advice and consent of the editor of the Vemocrat This action on the part of that paper is the nearest threat to an open rupture in the party ranks for some time and the true and tried democrats will watch it with a jealous eye, and will not submit to let one man or set of men thus sowe discord and bad feelings in the renks without promptly arresting and try- ing them as traitors. No matter how long a man has worked in the ranks, it will not license him in anv such actions, and he may be assured that the Times will stand by the grand old ship, and endeavor to le- fend any assault that may be made upon it, no matter from what source it may eminate. The editor of the Timms, person- ally, cares not a straw which system the party may adopt to nomiate their candidates. We have no ax to grind and would not stoop by trick or scheme to foist upon the party an unworthy or incompetent man whom j the majesity would spew out. An | ‘udividual or paper that has the good of the party at heart will net thus attempt to pervert that party’s in- | | japss sense and neighborly teeling | Among pers inthe 12h he prowesce congressiona sugports Congress nad e Lever D Cartiage Democrat, Nevada D trict, which Sow, We had: Morar no erat, Buter De nocratr ant om fact apout ali tae De nocratic papers li distret.- -Rich HL Just please Demoerat tron that bist. the !

W. Reeves was sentenced to the penitentiary tor six years on three charges of horse stealing. He is the fellow who, while being brought to Moberly from Morgan county several months ago, jumped from a moving train near Nevada, Mo.. and broke his leg. Missouri horse owners will rest easier when they are assured that Reeves is safely behind the penitentiary walls. We admire the pluck ot the But- ler Tuses for exposing the “long- eared farm hand night watch, Wiley Jones." He had no business to stand on a chair in the Palace hotel and look over the transom to see_ it there was a woman in there. The chair tilted and he fell which = mash- ed his nose. Served him nght.

The city has subscribed over $800,000 to railroad enterprise in vain hope ot securing competition in frieght only to see the insatiable Gould system reach out and swallow the new lines, thus controling and dictating terms to that city, Re- alizing that the Chicago, Burling ton and Quincy 1s too large a morsel tor the Missour Pacfic to walk away with, the busin8ss men and shippers ot Sedalia are offeringevery induce- ments to the Burlington to adupt the route outlined above—terminal taci- lies nghtinthe heart of the city, houses, anything so that Sedalia may secure a powertul competitive line. The second survey was trom Carroll- ton to Waverly. thence to Higeit.e- ville, Holden, Butler and Ft. Scott. This line would be about twenty miles shorter than via Sedalia, and the people along the line are not tak- ing active interest simply because they are not aware the work has pro- gressed as far as it has, The third survey was trom Carrollton, parallel- ing the Wabash, crossing the river at Lexington, thence proceeding south by southeast through Odessa and Butler to Ft. Scott. No mat- ter wnich of the three lines is adopt- ed, Butler, with its 5,050 resident inhabitants and the large mining in- terests sourrounding will be settled upon.
