WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1889. President Harrison and premier Blaine seem to be laboring under the greatest of difficulties in finding a suitubie man for the English mis- sion. The republican congressmen seem to think they were elected for the purpose only of seeking appoint- ments and post offices for their con- stituents. and they are getting in their work as best they can. en Justice Stanley Mathews, of the United States supreme court died at his home in Washington City after a protracted illness, at 10:05 April 22 He was appointed associate justice of the United States supreme court in 1881. It’s early yet, but it now looks as if Blaine and Cleveland would have their race over again in 1892, says the Paris (Texas) News. If they do history will simply repeat itself by electing Cleveland again. Just to reassure those xmong our patriots who are beginning to lose heart it may be stated that there’s more than v barrel of good jobs yet to be given out by President Harri son. Braceup andcharge him again. He likes to have you come at him from a dozen points at once. Whatever be the outcome of the Afarrison administration, cannot entirely fail of good. The sum of $26,000, which was left over from the iwauguration it been turned over to the commissioners of the district. fuud, has The Globe-Democrat says the ps- pers appointing Mir. EK. Kimball, of Nevada City, to the office of dis- trict attorney have been made out. Probably the office will be an im- provement on his real estate busi- ness and justice court practice, in a financial way. The southern negroes who are in Washington in search of federal ofti- ces ure very much discouraged over their prospeet of obtaining anything worth having. The fact is, the star of the negro in the political firma- ment is waning very rapidly, and it | would not be surprising if it should ‘in the near future, dissappear al- together. —————— The negroes of Ft. Scott, Kansas, have cut loose from the republican party and have nominateda city tick- | et of their own color. In making | Mominations the white republicans of Ft. Scott ignored their colored brethren. As coons hold the bal- ‘ance of power in that city it gives the democrats a fighting show to elect their ticket. ————— Walker Blaine has been appointed jand confirmed chief examiner of claims for the department of state, to succeed the late Francis Wharton. is position is the most important ere in the department. The only qualification anyone has been able ‘that he is the son of his father. The Grape vine that climbs up the oak ‘would never in the world be struck by lightning but for the oak itself. —_—_—_———————e A Washington dispatch to the St. | Louis Republic of Friday last reads: fi _ “The defeated candidates for con i} ) gress are putting on airs as repre | sentatives here. One gentleman’ has had cards printed, and is circu- |} lating them freely in congressional 4 style. Theyread: “John W. Han- j Twelfth District, Missouri.’ ; Many people who are presented with is card believe that Hannah is a representative, and court him accord- ly. He takes pains to keep up This is about the size of Captain Hannah's calibre and the people here who know him best are not at all surprised. z THE OPERA HOUSE. The committee appointed to it money to assist in rebuilding the opera house is not meeting with the encouragement they should and as a consequence are coasiderably dis- couraged. They say that the parties whose property will be enhanced in value are the most backward about giving, and that some business men whose property interest in Butler are very large, positively reiuse to give anything at all. The Tiss does not pretend to be sponsor to any business man in Butler, and does not pretend to say what he shall or shall not give either to this or any other enterprise. But we do pretend to say that that stage is nfost reached in Butler's history when her citizens have got to display a more liberal, enterprising spirit, or the town will go into the rapid de- lic BC cline and be a by-word and a jest to our enterprising and wide-awa sis- ter cities for her grave yard appear- ance and old fo This pic- ture is not overdra There t] labored some as liberal and py in Butler as in any tov bat are the ones who have the es, talked the most disec the drones 1} fe ly of the town and reaped the most rect benetits from all publie enter- wort s. Butler has reached that period when she will h to be saved from Ler own citizer What we say is with the very best of motives, and with no in- tention of offending anyone But there are times when the truth needs to be spoken; that we should see ourselves as Wwe are, in order to eor rect our faults. We sincerely trust that the effort to rebuild our beauti- fel opera house, the pride and glory of Butler will not be a failure, and that it will rise from the ashes, grander aud more beatiful phenix lise es it has passed through. ——______- THE TICKET IS REGULAR. From reading the “Straight Dem- Ovat’s communication in last week's Democrat we are led to infer thai de or he is either a chronic kicker, a feated espirant for some office one of the originators and perpetra tors of the heavy Tax payers ticket. If “Straight Democrat” knows any thing, he knows that the city dem ocratic ticket now in the field owes its nomination to a mass convention, the largest ever held in the city, that their powers were not delegated and therefore they could take what action they saw proper in the conyention assembled, regardless of the nature of the call. The sen timent as expressed in the vote was unanamous to put a democratic ticket in the field. There were only two who spoke in favor of an adjourn- ment to another date to make no:m- inations, and one of those was the prime mover in the heavy tax-pay- ers convention. The convention was an adjourned meeting. It had been well advertised in both democratic papers and on the evening in ques- tion the band called the convention together. If any demoerat in the city failed to be there it was his own fault for he had ample notice. At the time of the adjournment of the former meeting it was decided to put it off until the latest moment, when it would be safe to place a_ ticket in the field. There was nothing irreg ular in the nominations, and a demo crat who fails to support this ticket on that ground simply embraces it as an excuse, and if it did not exist he could easily find some other pre text which would to him seem rea synable and gocd. whether the same ticket would have have no positve assurance, but fro the unanimity with which they we endorsed we infer that the resuir would have been the same. We do know that not one of these geut!e men were candidates and were great- ly surprised when they received ti» nominatio: Every demoerat 1s under as much obligatior to vote the straight democratic ticket in a city election as in a state or national election. ms. | The Troms is for the straight dem- | ocratic ticket and every man on it. , takes it In regard to! , : H i didate for each pli been nominated at another meeting we | : DAVE WALKER MUST HANG.
