BUTLEK MISSOURI WEDNESDAY, DEC. 22, 1886. ———— The Walnut News has put on the golden slippers and joined the large carayan ot defunct newspapers gone before. Its days were few and fleet ing, it hung tenaciously to lite but the cold fact of lack of patronage, blighted its joyous hopes and brought it to 4 premature grave. We had fondiy hoped that, Tip | ‘would be able to stem the tide, but | such is life in the far west in anews paper office. For us we are heartily glad the town muddle is settled, if it is set- ted, and we hope the members ot the board will not get themselves into trouble over it. We have heard it questioned it there was a quorum yoting, there being only two alder- men besides the acting mayor pres- ent. If this be true, then the rants issued are illegal and the alder- war- men are individually responsible for that amount of money The large dry goods house of Rolt, Thayer & Williams, ot Kan- sas City has closed on attachments suits aggregating $60,000, the stock is in possession of the sheriff. Later additional suits tor $100,000 were filed. The firm was quoted in commercial circles at trom $75,000 and to $100,000, but their credit was | bad in the e account of pay. They estimate their assets at $175,000, the refuse to give any report of the bust ness. One hundred employes were thrown out of employment with salaries due for many days past. One saleslady claims that $500 is due her on back salary. ey The business men ana citizens ot Butler will turn over a new leaf on and after the new year. Internal discensions will be scattered as chaff to the four winds of heaven and ail will combine in a strong and steady pull tor the upbuilding of our city. We can truthfully say that the Times has no allegiance to any faction or clan. OF course we have our triends and are true to them, but that does not prevent us from working for the advancement and upbuilding of the town, and this we shall do, no mat- ter who may suggest and advocate the same, or who is most benefitted thereby. We mean just what we say. We are for Butler and Bates county first, last and all the time, and shall take steps to form an im- migration society this spring and try to get the proportion ot immigration justly due us but has been going by because no effort has been made to arrest it. Wall our contemporaries join us in this just crusade? We Shall depend to a large extent upon the energy and enterprise ot citizens to make this « success. on slow Members of them our —_—_——_—_————— Robt, Ingersell is always saying something which 1s shocking to the orthodox and well reguiated citizen, but there 1s something in the follow- ‘og sentiment from his lps on polygamy which 1s worthy of pre- serving and reading many times: “Polygamy is just as pure 7a Utah as it could have been in the promised BUTLER WEEKLY TIMES, firen | ¥ THE MISSOURI LEGISLATURE. — Speculation About Organization and the Men Destined to be Leaders. —_—__+ e+ 0+—_— BUTLER THE PLACE FOR IT- | As there will probably be a bill | | presented at the next general as- tor a Normal schoo? in the southwest, | sembly asking for an appropriation | | Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 16.— The secretary of state, in speaking of the coming legistature, says: “I can torm no opinion as to what it and as nothing 1s said of the location in case it passes, we would modestly suggest Butler, of the kingdom ot | | Bates, as being a suitable location Ww : re | BESSs but, taking it all in all, it is the e are not avar- best legislature in ability the state ever had.

In the Other large and growing states of the country the term or sessions are not hmited. This enables the legis- latures ot such states to properly consider the matters betore them and give them such care and thought as are necessary and beneficial. **As to submission it will, I think, receive but little attention. The prohibitionists are not as strong in the state now as they were a few years ago, as is evinced by the fall- ing off of their vote. In fact the sentiment in both branches of the legislature is against submission and prohibition as an organic law. The senate is decidedly against submis - sion and will remain so unless moved | by petition and appeals to submit the question tor the purpose of get- | ting rid ot it, for the time being, at free | clement usually found in new or | miming towns. We have now under |contract a twelve thousand dollar public school building, besides a large brick school building in the east part of town, and a handsome We two two-story academy building. have nine church buildings, banks, a magnificent opera building, a large and conveniently arranged court house, and last, but not least, four papers, apparently prosperous with the managements growing rich. We are easily accessible by rail. We are located in the tich an agricultural country as the sun ever shown on, and boast a prosperous city of fiye thousand in habitants and over, lighted by elec- heart of as tricity, a God-tearing and serving people—in tact just such a place as young people should be brought up and educated We the principle that the early bird catches in, go on ” least, The contest for speakersbip ap- pears to between Woatitelaw ot Cape Girardeau and Alexander of | the worm, and we hereby give of bill | passed, we shall make a desperate effortto have it located | ficial notice that, if such a is He Daviess.

The clerkship ot the house will doubtless go to Mr. Bentley, the bere, and will make as large donations ot land Or money as any city that may enter the arena. next. MORRISON DEFEATED. Mr. Morrison attempted to bring his revenue bill up on Saturaay and on a call of the yeas and nays it was defeated by a majority of five votes. The democrats have a large majority and could if they would pass a_ bill ot this kind to conform*to the demo- present incumbent, and the secre- taryship of the senate to Mr. Gray of Boone county. Either McIntyre or Booth will likely be chairman ot the judiciary committee. Thirty of the members of the lower house are re-elected, and fitteen were members ot general assemblies other than the last. cratic doctrines and principles. This verp thing is the main difference between the two great parties to-day, and any man, elected on the demo- cratic ticket and pledged to its plat- torm and tra‘litions, who would thus flagrantly violate the confidence of his constituency, should be eternally remembered in his future political aspirations. We do not claim that the Morrison bill embodies in tull the tariff retorms that we need, but it approaches in that direction, in fact the nearest approach that has ever been presented, and would have been laying a firm toundation | on which to build in the future. But then it 1s not the time to reform such gentlemen in the House of Repre- | sentatives; let democratic districts | See that none but democrats, pure | and undefiled, represent them. The } motto in such districts should be, no | mugwumps need apply. The great hue and cry raised by republicans and weak-kneed de was to defeat Morrison It was not Mor- rison or any other man they were defeating, but one ot the great prin- ciples on which the democratic party 1s toundeu—that of taxing the poor for the benefit of the rich.
