— BUTLER LN J: ALLEN Ebrtor. D. J.D. Arren & Co., Proprietors, TERMS OF SU®SCRIPTION: { BUTLER MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1888, ———— FOR STATE SENATOR. We are authorized to announce FIELDING E. BYBEE, | of Cass county, as a candidate for the office of | State Senator, from this, the Sixteenth District | subject tothe Democratic nominating conven- | tion. ee | Blaine will and he wont! The Democratic National Conven- | tion will be held in St. Louis Tues- | day. Five state elections occur this year before the presidential election; Al- abama, August 6th; Arkansas, Sept. 3rd; Vermont, Sept. 4th: Maine, Sept. 10; Georgia, Oct. 3. Rey. Lyman M. Abbott, has been elected pastor of Plymouth church, and has accepted the call. He has been filling this pulpit for some time, on trial. We have grave ap- | prehensions that he will not fill the bill, as nature made but one Beecher. General Phil Sheridan is a very sick man and but slight hopes are entertained for his recovery. He was one of the greatest generals on the Union side during the late war, and his death will cause universal ‘ sorrow, as he is loved and respected | if by the whole American people. i i i The Hon. Mike McGrath's Sedalia | i Democrat nominates the Hon. C. H. i Morgan for lieutenant-governor, ' saying that he is needed on the a ticket. The Lamar Democrat adds i that Mr. Morgan's “past political j 7 eareer has been clear and free from trickery and so marked in the inter ests of the people that they desire him to again come to the front.” What means this from the Ralls Jounty Guide? “Some of the anti- Francis organs who are indiscrimi- nately slandering the mayor, of whom St. Louis is proud because of his moral and social standing, will make it necessary for us to publish a cer- tified copy of an indictment for poker-playing from the Nodaway county circuit court records.” Some over zealous friends wanted 4 to present Jeff Davis with a silver i crown, which the old general very ‘ properly declined. This is meat to the republican press, and especially iH the Globe-Democrat, that has per- | sistently persecuted this poor old man for the past score of years. But we doubt if it has ever had the effect of making him miss a meal or lose an hour's sleep. | =< = = { Poor old Jeff Davis has again | fallen under the ban of republican disfavor. His offence consists in his accepting attention from his own people. It would be much better if the suggestion of the Tres, made some time since, was acted upon: that | he be banished to a St. Helena, with | a strong G. A. R. guard to keep him | there, then the republican party could | breath easy. Still there never will} be comparative safety until he is! dead. | | Hon. J. H. Hinton received notice to-day of his appointment to a posi- tion among legal corps of clerks, | office of Indian affairs, Interior De- } partment. Mr. Hinton has not yet decided whether he will accept. but conveyed to a Review reporter this ieee nna ne aisn ie actin Rana, PCNA TTS sarge hansensnmtaraumnmrsanannnin meses a site pnntectappee tenet rt TRITON i afternoon that he had an opportunity a to close out his interest in the hard- ware business and thought he would i like to spend a while in Washington i anyway, and he understood the po- | : sition was of a character that might result in an early promotion or tra fer to something much better. Mr. H. accepts he will probably here early in June. The appoir ment will be quite a surprise to his many friends, who look upon bi the coming candidate for re to the State Legislature.—Rich Hill Review. WEEKLY TIMES | pursued a st CAMPAIGN OFFER.

Now, however, by an overwhelmiug majority, the voters have adopted a law, and the Tras is heartily in favor of its strict enforce- ment, aye, to the very letter. The Wood's local option law is as much a law now in Bates county as any on our statute books, and every officer should see that its provisions are enforced, and that officer who winks at its violation is derelict of his duty and should be held amenable to the public, whose sworn servant he is. It is the duty of every good and law-abiding citizen to assist the of- ficers in the enforcement cf this as in all other laws that are made for the protection of the whole people. and we sincerely trust this will be dene. The legislature, when it passed this bill, recognized that it was a moral question, which should not be mixed with politics; that it would exercise a baneful influence in this direction if allowed to be used by schemi politicians, consequently removed it just as far as possible from this in- fluence. This was right and proper. as the enforcement of this law does not depend upon any political party: allthat can be asked is honest conscientious olficials, who will do their whole duty in the premises. The law has been adopted and will stand for four rs without achange, and the election of a of officers can have no effect whatever that direction. If any officer, from the to the lowest, neglects his duty he can and should be impeached. new set in highest If any man, or set of men,—and we speak advisedly, and know whereof we say--should at- tempt to drag this question into the next political campaign, they do so with a full knowledge of these facts and with the selfish purpose of self aggrandizement; are scheming and wily politicians, and should be spotted as not only enemies to the party in power, which they wish to disrupt. but enemies of the local option law; for when it is thus brought into polities it will lose the advantageous grounds already gain- | ed, and will be used as an instrument of evil instead of good, as it now is. Any honest. honorable officer will enforce the laws, and any man who attempts to ride into public favor on amoral question like this,—taking advantage of what he considers a popular movement for his own pro- motion—is unworthy and should be watched by both political parties.

For some time it has been a set- tled conviction that the united and union labor parties would fuse their interests in the Cincinnati conven- tions last week and nominate only one ticket, but although the united labor party was willing to unite, the union laborites would not with them.
