They did isoue a warrant to sheriff Glazebrook for the amount the Record mentions for a guard at the jail, and the afore- enid Sidney was the guard. —e eS If, as the Record states, ten bal- lots were stolen from the ballot box in Butler, and Mr. Austin being cognizant of the fact does not expose the perpetrators of such a villainy, he is as guilty as they. Now is the time when the candi- date for a state office knoweth the the country editor afar off and speak- eth kindly unto him. Though the editor be a jackass, yet doth he cleave tohim.—Boonville Advertiser. Mrs. Grant is said to have recent- ly received a bequest of $500,000.

The principal objection urged a against our genial friend he wants to fill too many offices too long a time.—Boonville Advertiser- Mr. Lamar will be confirmed by the senate, though it will be a close @queeze. A refusal to confirm him would be equivalant to a declaration ‘that no man is eligible to the sup- ‘reme court who fought in the rebel- Won. The people of eleven states of the Union are to be debarred for the present generation from participa- tions in the judicial determinations ‘of the highest court in the United States. Is there any justice in that.

However, records talk, and we have them to produce at the proper time. ——————— Es The largest pension ever paid to & private soldier inthe United States, or, perhaps, in the world, has just Deen granted to an Illinois veteran * named John Smith, who is at pres- ent living at Mt. Sterling, Ky. He will receive as the first payment $13,973, and $73 per month during _ the remainder of his.life. His dis- ability is total blindness, and Gen- eral Black, upon learning the facts in the case, had it called up and made special.

Star. i - but tnis is awful strong. Anu I no D. A- DEARMOND FOR SUPREME JUDGE- The Truxs takes pleasure inf pre- senting the name of our distinguish- ed fellow townsman and able jurist, Judge D. A. DeArmond, as a can- didate for judge of the supreme court of Missouri, subject to the de- cision of the state democratic nomi- nating convention. Judge DeAr- mond’s candidacy has not been un- expected by the public from the favorable mentions from time to time by the newspapers of the state, as one qualified in every respect to fill this high office. He was induc- ed to take this step by importuni- ties of friends and admirers from every portion of the state. Judge DeArmond is not unknown to the people of Missouri having served one term in the state senate, being elected from a strong republican district. He served a short time on the supreme court commission, by appointment by the supreme court, though he was not an applicant for the office. That his appointment gave universal satisfaction the com- ments of newspapers all over the state at the time shows. He is at present circuit judge of this judicial district, nomi ated and _ elected without opposition, though he was not seeking the office at the time. Judge DeArmond is a man just in the prime of life, being 43 years of age. He is recognized by the le- gal fraternity as one of the ablest jurists in the state, and his decis- ions on the bench have proven that he administers justice impartially and without prejudice. In the line of duty he knows neither friend or foe. He is the soul of honor anda man in whom Bates county and southwest Missouri have a great pride, and will urge his pre- eminent qualifications and fitness for this high office upon the democratic party of this state. | dictation) has furnished the repub- licans a sweet morse] to roll under their tongues and is being copied by every opposition paper in the county. Does Mr. Wades fifteen years party service, of which he so often boasts, license him now in attempting to defeat the democratic party? A bolter is one who fights his party or party officers, and if this is nota bolt, we know no milder name to call it. We believe there is enough: bone and sinew still left in the demo- cratic party to crush out treason in whatever form it may appear. and it does not have to Duy an individual or paper to keep it in line. We call on all good democrats, all along the line, those who have borne the brunt of battle when their be. loved party has been fiercely assail- ed in the past, as well as the young democrats who come with fresh blood, energy and courage into the strife, to stand firm and meet this threatening evil. The accusations against Judge Suilens, contained in the above, are so supremely ridiculous that he needs no defense. Judge Sullens is perfectly willing to risk a compari- son of his personal or political honor with that of the editor of the Demo. crat before the bar of public opinion. Messrs. Wade and Austin may rest assured that they cannot co-erce or bull-doze the present members of the county court by any such chaff or bluster they are using. Either indict the Judges for malfeasance in office or stand convicted of at- tempting to blackmail county offi- cials. Mr. Austin told several parties on the street before he assailed the county court that he only meant to “guy” Judge Sullens on his reform ideas. It seems that his guying has had the effect of a boomerang. IS ITA BOLT? “Ep. Democrat:—Judge Sullensis not the same honest old man we used to think he was. I was always his supporter, but is he not rather get ting to be of tne old Tweed kind. He has stock in the Bates county Timxs, and he then gets himself elected President of the County Court, and then feathers his own nest by voting to give all the county printing-to that paper. This is bad, worse and more cheeky than Boss Tweed in his palmiest days. I al- ways stand by democratic officials, It has veen an open secret for a long time that Wade and Austin worked together on all important politicai issues. When they attack such an honest official as Judge Sul lens it is evident they have bitten off more than they can chew. County Affairs. Foster News While the News is not particular- ly interested in the discussion that isin progress at the county seat over the present county court's ex- travagance, as far as the newspapers are concerned, it is interested in see- ing economy practiced in all county matters. As the people in this part of the the county are inquiring into the matter, and seem anxious to know whether or not Judge Sullens, who is claimed to have been elected on the sole issue of retrenchment in county expenses, is playing traitor. The News has taken the trouble to look the matter up, and finds that the expenses of the county for the year ending March 1, are not likely to amount to half so much as the previous year. The figures below prove the assertion: The abstract showing the expendi- tures of the county for the year 1886, ending March Ist, 1887, is as follows: tice one or two other jobs recently, and heaven knows where it will end. Democrat. The above appeared in the Bates County Democrat, the paper that for over ten years received all of the county printing; that has always laid claim to being the official organ of the democratic party in Bates county, and has always been sup- ported by that party. Its editor, N. A. Wade, is now living off of public pap by sucking a government tete put into his mouth bya demo- cratic official.

If Judges Sullens and Boswell have violated their oaths of office they are amen- able to the law, and Messrs. Wade and Austin should make specific charges and have them impeached; until then it is Mr. Wade's duty, as the editor of a democratic journal, to sustain them in their o-fal acts.

James Sydney Rollins, one of the most prominent men in Missouri, died at his residence at 7 o'clock this morning, aged nearly 76 years. His health had been failing him for some time, but there was uo special alarm felt until a week ago, when he experienced a partial stroke of par alysis in his left side.
