WEDNESDAY, MARCH 28, 1888, Chief justice Waite, of the preme court of the United States, died suddenly at his home in Wash- ington City Friday. su- The republican newspapers and politicians are having a hard time of it to find a suitable candidate for president. The Globe Democrat nominates a new man every day. We see that Henry S. Julian, an old friend and schoolmate of the editor of the Times, has been nomi- nated on the democratic ticket for city attorney of Kansas City. Hen- ry Julian is a worthy young gentle- man, highly educated, a deep think- er and the soul of honor. We trust he will be elected, and are sure the people of Kansas City will never have cause to regret it. The republican papers throughout the country are very indignant at Gen. Adam Badeau, for bringing suit against Gen. Grant's widow for services rendered inassisting the gen eral in writing his memoirs. If Gen. Adam Badaeu did the work as he al- leges he did, he ought to be paid for it. Anyhow, it is a private matter between himself and Mrs. Grant, and so far as we can see it is not a national affair, and Mrs. Grant should pay her honest debts as well as oth er people. President Cleveland has not de- clared himself in favor of free trade and all attempts of the machine re- publicans to make him out a free trader will prove abortive and only | make them ridiculous. They proph- esied that the industries and com- merce of the country would be par alyzed if Cleveland was elected. He was elected, and everything has gone on smoothly and satisfactorily, and he has shown himself to bea wise statesman, devoted to the interests of the people, and a fearless chief magistrate. ———————EE One of the most heart-rending and pathetic stories in the annals of crime comes from New York, in which a mother deliberately poisons her three little boys, aged respective- ly 9, 7 and 4 years, and then quietly waiting and witnessing their intense suffering for two days. Mrs. Lebkuchner, 2 widow, found it im- possible to support her children and rather than be separated from them deliberately planned _ their destruction. She gave one of the little fellows the last quarter she had and sent him to buy rough on rats, then mixing it in tea and divid- ing into three equal parts gave it to the children. When in their agony they would call for water to quench their burning thirst she would give them whisky, making their suffering ten times more terrible. She does not express any remorse over her act but expresses a desire to be hung. Jas. N. Tate, after having served the people of Kentucky for twenty- one years as state treasurer, is a de- faulter in alarge sum, that will prob- ably reach $200,000. No one who has ever known “honost Dick Tate,” as he was commonly called, will ever believe that he deliberately stole the money. He was a genial, whole | K. 0. & RIGH HILL ROAD. While the Record’s comments on | the proposed K. C. & Rich Hill rail- road may prove true, they appear to us to be very injudicious to say ithe least, just at this time, when levery appearance points to the | building of this road. This may be |similar to some of the defunct | | schemes of the past, still ifthereis a | | possibility of its being a success it | shows very short sightedness in the ' people of Butler to antagonize it. If such a road is built it is only a question of time when it will be | swallowed up by some trunk line seeking an outlet through this coun- try to Kansas City, possibly the Santa Fe or Chieago & Alton going to the Southwest. But granting for the sake of argument, that this is the ultimate extension of the road, from Rich Hill to Kansas City, even then it would demonstrate lack of enterprise to the outside world for Butler to let any kind of a railroad run around her within three or four miles. As suggested by Mr. Blair to a Times reporter, a town the size of Butler could expect and would receive many more favors and de rive much more benefit from a short railroad that depended on the local trade for support than a trunk line that ran directly through, and all the attention that they wou'd give us would be to take on and put off freight and passengers. If the road is built Butler cannot afford to have it run around her, no more can the road afford to ignore the advantages of coming to a town the size of Butler, the county seat of one of the largest and wealthiest counties in the state. There is and can be no just fight between the eitizens of Butler and the projectors of this road, unless it could be kept alive by just such talk as that en- gaged in the Record. Instead of pouring cold water on those projects let us put our shoulder to the wheel when we are sure to accomplish‘s great deal. . TRUE WORDS WELL SPOKEN. The announcement of the Hon. D. A. DeArmond as a candidate for su- preme judge of this state, subject to the nomination of the Democratic party, has been most favorably re- ceived throughout the state. He is asound democrat, a pure and incor- ruptible judge. His experience both on the supreme bench. where he served as one of the commissioners, and on the bench of the cireuit court, point to him as being pre-eminentiy | qualified, fitted and acceptable for | this most responsible place. Of allthe places to be filled the | position of the supreme judge should be the most carefully made. | Here the questions that affect the rights and interests of the people are to be finally determined. An honest heart, an able and weil bal- anced intellect, legal ability, unbias- | ed by fear, favor or affection, are all necessary in the discharge of the | high duties of this office. All who are acquainted with Judge DeArmond are satisfied beyond doubt that he possesses all these. Besides he is in the vigor of life, and able to withstand the heavy strain these arduous duties impose. His nomination and election will add a member to the supreme court that will never dim its fame, but will add to it an additional luster. He will not only adorn the posi- tion, but will reflect credit alike up- on the people of the state, and the democratic party whose principles he has so long and faitfully defend- ed.—Henry Co.

Thomas Irish, of Rich Hill, was | elected permanent chairman of the convention and Lewis F. Page, of Adrian, was chosen secretary. The important question of form- ing a permanent society or organiza- tion for Bates county was freely dis- cussed, and it was the unanimous sentiment of the delegates that a county immigration society be im- mediately formed. It was was moved and seconded that a board of directors for said organization be selected, one mem- ber from each township in the coun- ty, and the following named gentle- men were elected as said directors: Mingo Twp.

The Poject Reported Busted, and Some of Our Citizens Very Unhappy 2 —What Will Butler Say ? depressing rumor found its way to this city from Adrian last evening. and some of our East End itize s have been quite despondent all day to-day in consequence. It is to the effect that the Kansas City & Rich Hill Railroad project has fallen through; that president Wilson. the main-stay of this enterprise, had not the money necessary to build the road and was unable to secure it— that in short, the whole affair was like the Harris project and had ut- terly flattened out. Now this is cer- tainly decidedly discouraging news, to arrive during such gloomy weath- er as we are having at present, but we do not give it the slightest cre- dence, and advise our friends in the East End and in all other quarters of the city, not to place too much stress upon such a report at the present time, as only a day or two ago we had the best of assurance from a person directly connected with this enterprise, who stands high up on the inside, that the dirt would be flying in a few weeks at the farthest; the grading contracts had about ten miles; the contract for the two iron bridges warded and work was now progres- on them. and everything else . That the ad when completed will be a pay- s in the best of shap e doubts in the least, and agreement we have now the slightest doubt. no matter what ow fears upon the question have been in not , the past.
