Jt i said that Congressman Scott, of Pennsylvania, is willing to bet $50,000 that Mr. Cleveland will be econominated and elected, and a simi- (sr sum that the republican party will make no presidential nominations fier 1892. The Herald announces to the world that St. Joseph raised $240,000 for the Rock Island in thirty days, $60, 000 for the Y. M. C. A. in twohours, $5,000 for the Home of the Friend- doas in thirty days, $30,000 for the Gania Fe in fifteen days, $5,000 for edvertising St. Joseph in ten days. It is a good record. From the interview of the Star eoporter, published in another column, if, would appear that the officers of the Chicago, Ft. Scott and Texas sailroad bave returned from New Vork and have perfected all arrange ments to build the road, according to contract with our people. This is encouraging, anyhow, and we fondly hope that it is the case. About two weeks ago the Sunday Jaw mm St. Louis was rigidly enforced by the authorities, and saloons, base ball, beer gardens and all Sunday amusements were stopped by the police. The managers of the beer eardens and base ball refused to obey the law week Judge Noo man decided the law unconstitution @l and ineffective and again St. Louis has resumed her usual “Sunday amusements and Sabbath and last breaking. The Chureh at Rome has deposed Dr. McGlynn from priesthood and excommunicated him. Dr. MeGlynn is the priest who supported Henry George in his race for mayor of New York at the last election, and whose Adens on land ownership are, to say the least, very crewd. However, he was not deposed on account of his fanded ideas, but because of his re- fusal toappear before the Pope when Ordered to do so. He will never be recognized by his Catholic brethren living and when dead will be denied the burial rites of the church. —— A change seems to have come over the spirit of Bro. Allen of the Butler Trmzs. In his latest and soberest thoughts he confesses his error in defending the assassins of Vanden burg and penitently enough begs us to let up on him. This is better at the eleventh hour than not at all Now if he will join with us in exe crating and driving from the country the grand jury who screened the taurderers he can with some show of Sincerity range alongside of the Democrat, Republican. and all other aefonders of the law.

A. R. It is a straightforward, manly letter, just such a one as only Grover Cleveland could have written. Asa public document it isa price- less jewel, in which personal inter- ests and feelings are made of sec- | ondary importance to the first office of the first government in the world. He, as an individual, might be in- sulted but he could not place the office which he represents in a position to be insulted by fools, sycophants, and party cranks. As an order, we do not believe the G. A. R. endorse the treatment President Cleveland has received at the hands of the Tut- tles and Fairchilds, and the like ilk. If an attempt is made and carried outat the reunion to pass partisan res- olutions, and we have no doubt such will be attempted, then every dem- ocrat in the order that loves his country, his principles or self-respect, will immediately withdraw from the order. Radical measures will have to be adopted by those wishing the order to prosper in treatment of a few cranks. It may not be gener- ally thought of but the principle in greater signifi- of government the matter is of far vance to our form than all the anarchists that ever threw a bomb or incited ariot.

If the G. A. R. late that matter the American ple can, so they had best tread soft ly on forbidden ground cannot regu peo DRILL A HOLE. The Times has taken occasion time and again to call upon the people of Butler to prospect the earth in and around the city. As is a well known fact, if Butler ever amounts to a city of prominence, it will be through the direct instrumentality of the soil’s resources. There has been pros- pecting enough already to show us that minerals, in their richest forms, underlay our ground. Lead, copper and coal have all been dis- covered, but only the coal series have been developed to « practical work- ing. Natural gas has been found in sufficient to utilize in lighting or manufacturing, or both, im several portions of the county. Coal oil has also been discovered in Elkhart township. We pause to wonder, when we think of the proba- bility of all this vast wealth lying dormant under our very feet. why it has not been developed. It seems to have developed into a truism. that the owners and tillers of the soil never reap the benefits from the minerals underlying the ground; that is left for the speculator or middle man. We were fondly in hopes that town board, in submitting proposition for water works, zi quantities the a would water was not obtained before reach ing that depth, and we are thorough- iy convinced that the knowle dge obtained of the underlying strata would much more than pay the ex- penses of same. The board saw best, however, toaccept a proposition to secure water in another way, and they did well in se curing a cheap and substantial water system.

This is a matter that we should all feel interested in and talk up. The Political F ‘eld. For lieutenant governor the men who are grooming Proctor have selected the Hon. David Alexander Ball of Pike. Mr. Ball came out of the extra session somewhat disfigur- ed, but still full of fight. He has many personal friends, but his ec- centricities as a legislator can not be forgotten in a day. Senator Mackey of Chariton is a strong candidate for lieutenant governor, and will proba- bly have the support of a majority of the present senators. Fora while it was thought that Lucius Salisbury’s candidacy for state treasurer would injure Mackey’s chances, they being from the same county, but Salisbury’s actions on railroad legislation during the extra session so effectually killed him that he is out of the question for a state office. For auditor, the present state treasurer, Mr. Seibert, seems to be the strongest although there are reports of others to be brought out at the right time. There are fully six candidates for secretary of state. The present cumbent, the Hon. Michael Kilrooney McGrath, will try for another term. He expects, and will most likely re- He was one candidate, in- ceive the road support. of the handy men of the lobby during both sessions of the Thirty-fourth general assembly. and has a place reserved on the state ticket combination for Other candidates mentioned for see- governor. retary of state are Captain Alex Les- sueur of Lexington, Colonel R. M. Yost of St. Louis. Representative Jewett of Shelby, and Editor Stevens of Columbia. There are a baker's dozen candi- dates for attorney general. Nearly every lawyer in the legislature was called a candidate. J. W. Booth of Franklin is mentioned prominently, and his candidacy is made strong by an excellent reputation as a lawyer and a first-class record as a legislator. There is talk of Speaker Alexander for the same office, and well-informed politicians declare that if Senator Castleman should confess » desire to hold the office he could carry it off against all competitors. Lon Stephens of Boonville, John Daniel of Nodaway county, and the present efficient deputy treasurer, Nolan, are candidates for state treas- urer. So was Representative Salis- bury of Chariton up to a few weeks ago. but his political came soon afterward. collapse Of course, if Morehouse should be nominated for governor, Daniel no chance of getting the treasurership, but ifa southeast man like Clardy should capture the first prize. Daniel would undoubtedly stand a good chance of securing the keys of the would stand treasury. Clardy and Siebert are also in each other's way. and there is danger of clashing. It is not likely that the governor and auditor will be drawn from the same section. There is a report of a tripartite agreement between Morehouse. Sei bert and Wat Shelton, the offices in view being the governorship, audi- torship and attorney-generalship.

Kansas City Republican Mayor Endors- | es the President's Letter and Con- demns the Crank Who Threat- ened Him, Mayor Kumpf, Kansas City’s stal wart republican mayor, with his coat off and his desk covered with papers, which showed he had been very hard at work, leaned back in his chair late yesterday afternoon and conversed with a number of friends about Mr. Cleveland's letter to Mayor Francis of St. Louis. “It was a dignified and gentleman ly statement of the condition of af- fairs,” said Mayor Kumpf. “The office of president, in the true mean ing of that title—not Grover Cleve land—has been the most insulted. Threats had been made against his life by men with unbalanced brains, and it would have displeased the whole American people if he had risked it among them. The Grand Army of the Republic is a grand or- ganization, and it is only of those who have played the fooland threat- ened the dignity of the offices of president of the United States that I have to speak in words of censure. I will guarantee that there is none such in Kansas City. Tama warm republican at heart, but I feel that Grover Cleveland has made himself the president of the American peo ple.
