WEDNESDAY, JULY 10, 1889 SL WILL NOT HOLD WATER. “Strikes and lockouts occur every year, but there have been fewer thus far in 1889 than there were in the corresponding period inany year when Cleveland was in power. Let the democratic papers which are howling about e recent labor disturbances explain this circum- stance to their readers”. The above broad assertion from the Bates County Record, will not bear the light of investigation. In fact it is anything but the truth, but about as near that precious arti- cle as the editor of the Record ever gets. There has never, in the histo- ty of the government, been such a systematic reduction of wages by the large corporations and monopo- lists all over the country as has tak- en‘place since the advent of the present administration. This reign of oppression of the poor was system- atically planned and the mighty Car- negie led oft by making a ten per cent reduction in his iron-works in Pennsylvania, and was followed by a {similar reduction throughout all the coal mines in that state and the man- ufactures of the east, and asa re- sult the miners are appealing to the outside world for help to keep from starving, while the great pro tectionist, Carnegie, is giving costly banquets across the ocean, where he spends his surplus made hy protect- ing the laborers of this country. The either pidly ignorant in imaking the above assertion, or intended to willfully de- ceive. If the former, he | editor of the Record is stu- eannot be excused for he las had opportunities to know these things; if the latter, he must remember ihat the laboring classes in America are not surfs, but have opportunites of enlightenment and avail themselves of the privilege, and are too well posted to believe such willfully false statements. NEW OPERA HOUSE. When our opera house was burn- ed down in the spring the citizens of Butler subscribed $2,500 to have it re-built. The Bonham Bros. did not see fit to accept this money. Af- terwards they sold the lot with the salvage to the Butler Loan & Trust Co.,a home corporation, composed of our business men. Now, this company proposes to replace the opera house, using the same plans as those proposed by the Bonham Bros., who wanted $5,000, for $2,509. We do not believe there is a single man who subscribed before, who would not give as much or more to a company of our own citizens, who have their homes among us and their interests are all at stake here, as to gentlemen who haveno farther interest in our town than theamount they can make oui of such an enter- prise as an investment. There is not a week that passes but what we feel the need of the “opera house. Butler has no suitable hall for the accommodation of a large meeting, and as for entertain- ments, whether home or traveling troups, we have to let them go by. We believe that our people recog- nize fullthe importance of a fine opera house to our city, and this company is making an exceptionally liberal proposition, and one that our people should embrace without hes. itancy. The committee appointed by a public meeting of citizens to solicit money for the Bonham prop- osition was composed of Messrs. R. J. Hurley and Thos. J. Day. Two more enterprising citizens or gentle- men better qualified for this work can not be found in our city, and the Tris suggests that they take imme- diate steps to complete the good work they begun and when they have raised the amount, call a meet- ing and report the same. The com- pany, we are reliably informed, are prepared to go to work on the build- ing as soon as the money is raised. It would be a great advertisement for Butler to have the opera house raise phoenix like from her ashes and there is no reason why it could not be re-build before fall. Let ev- ery citizen give liberally tothis much needed public enterprise. PUBLIO LIBRARY- It has been suggested to us that Butler should have a public library and we understand an effort will be made to secure one. The Truzs is in hearty accord with a movement of this kind, and will lend all assit- ance in its power. doubt that a public library is a public necessity in a city the size of Butler, and if a substantial nucleus was gained, it would not take many years to secure a library of no mean dimensions. There are several ways that suggest themselves to our mind, how a start in this direct ion could bemade: by subscription, a supper or a festival, or an amateur home entertainment. Any of these plans, we are satisfied would be well patronized -by our people and a fund raised sufficient, if judiciously handled, to form a nucleus of a thriving and substantial library. Let our people properly encourage this enterprise when it is brought before the public; as we understand it will be. If anything is done to make the proposed fair at Butler a success, it has got to be done at once, or the fair project, like the very many that have gone before,must be numbered with the dead, and we do not stop | long enough to drop even a tear above the grave for the blasted hopes, fond dreams and bright expectations; but hasten on to new schemes that last for and the flowers, pass away and are forgotton.

KiJrain no Match for the Greatest ot Ail Pugilists. | The Fight a Walkover Almost From ; the Very Outset. ' Seventy-five Rounds Indulged in but | i Not Neccessary. | | New Orleans, La. July 8.—The great battle for the championship of the world, $20,000 and the Fox championship belt between John L. Sulliyan and Jake Kilrain was fought ner, Richburg, Marion county,Miss., and was won by Sullivan in 75 rounds occupying two hours and five min- utes, the sponge being thrown up by Kilrain at the end of that time. The battle was one of the hardest ever fought between big men in this country, but from start to finish Sullivan had decidedly the best of it. Kilrain did not prove to be the won- deful wrestler represented, for Sul- livan threw him as often as he was thrown and with far greater severi- ty. The day was intensely hot and this added to the punishment of the ‘men. John Fitzpatrick of New Or leans was the referee. He is an honest man, but is not fully posted jon the rules of the London prize |ring, and exercised great leniency toward Kilrain, who went down re- peatedly without a blow in the most | deliberate manner. He equalized ‘matters well, however, by twice over- | looking fouls on Sullivan, who once sat down on Kilrain’s breast and at another time jumped on him with both 'nees. | MISS vURT PACIFIC EXTENSION. To fun trom Fort Scott to Foster St. Louis Globe-Democrat of under control of Mr. Gould and his Wichita owned by the Missouri Pacifie peo- plo, and has its eastern terminus at Scott, v was placed at hors de tion with Kansas City. This will soon be remedied. A survey has been made, and the work will shortly be- gin on a tap line between Fort Scott and Walnut, in Bates County, Mo., on the Emporia division of the Mis- sourl Pacific, which taps the Lexing- ton and Southern divisionat Butler. The proposed line will be twenty- five miles long, of which seven miles are graded. From Walnut to Butler is eighteen miles. The tap will make an air-line read from Fert Seott to Butler, from which place trains will come into Kansas City over the Lexington and Southern branch. It is also rumored that the Emporia road east of Butler will be extended toa con- nection with the main line of the Mo. Pacific either at Sedalia or Jefferson City. The Minden branch of the Missouri Pacific, which runs from Nevada, Mo., to Chetopa, will also be extended to a connection with the Arkansas Valley division still farther shortning the route be- tween Kansas City and Fort Smith. —Globe-Democrat. Ft. Worth, Tex.,July 3.—The high- est water since 1866 is around the cityof Ft. Worth to-night on the north and east in the Trinity River bottom. It rained hard all last night and continued until to-day, the wa- ter constanly getting higher, till all the valley is flooded and covered provide for the manufacture of binding twine in the penitentiary, and that the state shall furnish it to the farmers at cost, This experiment would not involve competition with any industry in the state, and if successful, would relieve the farm- ers of the burden which the twine monopoly has imposed upon them. Mr. Glick thinks that flax, cot- ton and even straw might be em- ployed in the manufacture of twine and that the use of sisal and manilla might be entirely dispensed with. Mr. Glick is a practical man, who has had large experince as a farmer, and his views on any matter touch- ing the agricultural interest, are of value. The plan which he proposes is certainly worthy of a trial.—K. C. Star. with 6 feet of water. To the north the water extends for two miles and no railroad is above water except the Santa Fe. The Missouri, Kansas and Texas abandoned trains this morning, and the Fort Worth and Denver had to use the Santa Fe track for eight miles north. The Texas and Pacific abandoned trains to the east this evening.
