Fred Grant was nominated by the New York republicans for Secretary of State. This is the veri est flunkeyism cver practiced by one of the great parties of these United States. Fred Grant. is not able or talented in any sense of the word, only as a son of Gen. Grant, and since they cannot further serve their master, they will do service to his son. —— Now our democratic friends are entirely off their base when they think the people of the United States are going to worship a man as though they were his subjects in the sense of potentates kings. —War rensburg Standard. And yet these same fellows will aominate a man for an important office who is possessed of neither wit nor brains, simply because he is the éon of the old man-—-Bah! One hundred and five sheriff sales for delinquent taxes, published in the Osceola Advance, don’t speak well for the prosperity of St. Clair county, neither does it look like ‘toting’ fair with the Sun, whose edi- tor is an unflinching, uncompro mising democrat, and a man whohas done long editorial and oratorical service for the party. He deserves better treatment from those whom he has assisted into high places / of profit. However, the lily blooms but for a season, but the Judge's democracy is everlasting. The day of reckoning will come by and by. i The town council of Rich Hill has { passed an ordinance granting to Messrs Snyder and Tiernan of Ft. Scott, an exclusie franchise to furnish the city with gas at the very low rates of $30 per lamp per annum for artificial gas or $25 for natural gas. There is no doubt now but that Rich Hill will secure the St. L. and ©. road and Butler has lost another opportunity. Boomers come high now-a-days, and we have no doubt Rich Hill can easily afford to pay $1,500 for the same service that Ne- vada gets for $750, and Clinton for $700 and other towns in proportion, with this new appendage thrown in. Col. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, Chronicle reporter, has the following to say of the Confederate society and the G. A. R. order: “Such organizations do not tend to keep peace, nor do they help to perpetuate friendship between the North and South. It would be best if they were wholly abolished. They only hatch old prejudices and are stumbling blocks in the way of friend- ship. The South bears no enmity to the North, and the North should not display any toward us. Our re. union will be a commingling with the blue and the gray, and it is well to have it so. Discord in a nation is ruinous, and old hatreds should be trampled upon. We have invited raany who wore the blue and they will come.” _—_—_—_—_—— aan aE Sgr a (o., Sept. 15. 88- man John T. Heard ee @a evening newspaper, are not on the best of terms, in fact the editor ofthe paper and the congressman are bitter political and personal ene- mies, but this evening a great sensa- tion was caused by the publication in the columns of the Bazoo of the following card: ted J. West Goodwin, Esq Sedalia, lO. Sedalia, Mo., Sept. 15.—I have wubmitted to your personal abuse of me for along time rather than have any trouble with you, but I will not sobmit to it longer.

Scott is now intensely excited | over the question of mixed schools | in that city. It seems that the col- | ored people had | building all along, but this year they have conceived theidea to have their children educated with the whites, and consequently the kick. The school board, strongly republican, have strenuously resisted this move ed children. A test case in the su- preme court will be made of one lit- tle girl who was excluded. This is getting interesting. This same pro- ceeding would be a great outrage in Georgia, but in Kansas, oh, well, that is another question. Where now are those loud mouthed repub- licans who have all along advocated social equality in the South. The boot is on the other foot now. Ye have made your own beds, recline thereon with the best grace you can command. You have declared all the time that the negro was your equal socially, that being the case, and we have never doubted it, his children are as good as your chil- dren. There is no doubt but that the supreme court will decide in the darkey’s favor, asin the twenty-sixth Kansas reports it has decided that cities of the second class, without enabling legislation, cannot exclude children from the common school simply on account of race or color. The Monitor, (republican) whose soul was terribly harrowed up over the fact that the legislation of Georgia was opposed to the mixture of black and whites in the schools of that state, is bitterly opposed to the project of mixing them in Ft. Scott, Kansas sauce for the Geogia goose not being sauce for the Kansas gan- der. _Chickens will come home to roost, but we assure our democratic friends in Ft. Scott that they have our sincere sympathy. St. L. K. C. & Colorado's Route Through Clinton. A plat of the route of the St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado road’s route through Clinton, has been fur- nished to Major Salmon, by Chief Engineer Emerson. The route has been several times mentioned in the Democrat. It comes into town on the township line from the east, di- rect to Tebo Mill, and then runs through on a route a little south of west, crossing under the M. K & T. in a cut, and then along the low grounds in front of Cole Hudson's residence, passing out of the corpor- ation near Middlecoff's Mill. The m Democrat. —______. A Missouri Hotel Burned.
