WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1889. THE OOUBT ORITIO. The Record this week again makes an asinine exhibition of itself by crit- icising the action of the county court. A few week ago a decision of Judge DeArmond did not meet the views of Judge Austin, who reversed and remanded it in very short order. Of course it was very humiliating to Judge DeArmond, and was only made bearable by the knowledge of Judge Austin’s superior legal attain- ments. Now Judges Sullens and Fix have fallen under the ban of the great court critic, and are conse- quently annihilated, held up to pub- lic scorn and their very existence made unbearable by the cutting criti- cisms of this mighty Warwick. This time he takes a decision of the St. Louis court of appeals on the license question, (a report of which we pub- lish in another column,) as a_ text and declares that the court acted in “indecent haste” in granting license toG. A. Heath & Co. Granting this to be true under the recent rul- ing of the St. Louis court of appeals, then every county court of every county in the state, including St. Louis and Kansas City, have acted in “indecent haste” in granting li- cense for several years past, for like the Bates county court they have all acted under that section of the stat- ute which gives the court no option in the matter when a petition is pre- sented bearing two-thirds of the as- sessed taxpayers in the block in which the saloon is to be located. Then according {o this decision there is not a legal license issued in Bates county and the saloons now running in Rieh Hill, nre without legal license and consequentl¥ run in open violation of the law. It isa little strange to us that the “Court Critic,” boasting of its 23 years existence under the same able management, during which time republican and demo- cratic county courts have pursued this same line of policy, should have just discoverd that they were acting in “indecent haste.” We suppose that if the supreme court should re- verse the St. Louis court of appeals, it will fall under the disfavor of the great Bates county “Court Critic.” ee A BRIGHT OUTLOOK. The outlook for an abundant crop in Bates county was never better at this season of the year. The oats erop is very heavy in some portions of the county, while in others it has been damaged by rust and is light. ‘The wheat and flax crop, though of small acreage will yield well, while the outlook for cornis number one. The early corn is already assured, and it only requires a fewmore rains to insure all that is planted. The recent rains came just in the niche of time, but fortunately it was in time so there is no fault to find. Now, if there isto be any railroad building through this section of the country this year, it should not long- er be delayed. A big crop this year and times in the west will be good, money plentiful and immigration ge. In fact, we look fora more prosperous year than this county has ever experienced. We base our judgment upon several, what ap- pears tous, good reasons. First, abundant ‘crops; second, Butler and Bates county, thanks to the commer- cial club of Butler, has done more judicious advertising this year than ever before in her history; third, the railroads have kindly given the coun- ty the advantage of harvest excur- sions which will enable strangers seeking new homes and investments to come among us at greatly reduc- ed rates;fourth,there are several new railroad enterprises projected which if built will be of inestimable value to the county. work of immigration along by writ- "LER WEEKLY TIMES | 2 | black-birds,” and now Georgia news- Every citizen can help the good | i | ing to friends or relatives in the east | reminding them of the excursions to | ing out adver- g matter for Bates county.

It is time now, however that some steps were taken if we expect to have the operahouse opened by the time the theatrical season opens this fall. Says the Washington Post: “Gen. R. F. Patterson, it is thought, will be made postmaster at Memphis, Als. He played a lucky card in serving through the war in the same regiment with Secretary Noble and Assistant Secretary Bussy. The latest estimates place the wheat yield in Kansas this year at 25 million bushels. At an average price of 55 cents a bushels, which may be regarded as a conservative figure, the revenue to the state from wheat alone will be over 19 million dollars. ——— Ewe With floods in New York, drouth in the northeast in California, the country is having a lively time.

The above an average in every respect, and the extension of the market will tend to increase the price.

As there is no longer much money to be made in raising wheat, it is likely that the farmers will pay more attention to tobaceo in the future. purel tobaceo crop is The Leavenworth Times, upon its editorial page, remarks soulfully that its city is peaceful and prosper- ous.

Washington, July 12.—Corporal Tanner is the only man in Washing- ton who is receiving any attention just at present. He is the only man who is talked about, and the pension bureau is looked upon with more in- terest than all the other departments of the government. Although the corporal vigorously denies it, it is, notwithstanding, a fact that the president and the secretary of the interior are very much at outs with the pension commissioner. Tanner admits that the president told him to shut up his mouth and keep it shut, but farther than this he will not go. Itis very hard to obtain any reliable information, but every once in a while a corroborative hint is received from different sources that makes it clear that the corporal was confronted with dismissal or an exact compliance with the rules of the pension bureau, laid down by the president and the secretary of the interior. Ancient history tells of “white papers tell of a flock of red-headed | geese in Savannah. greater than appears on first view, for in that every saloon licensed in the county of St. Louis is null and void for all, it is said were granted under like circumstances.

The case ball, et. al., citizens of Webster Groves. vs. Theodore Huge, T. F. Archerman and Philip Denser, judges of the St. Louis county court. The facts in the case are as follows: On June 3rd, Henry Horsh presented to the eounty court of St. Louis county a petition fora dram- shop license, purporting to have been signed by 600 citizens of the township. On the 17thof themonth the court granted the license. The eitizens of Webster,on hearing of the application, got up a strong remon- strance, claiming that the petition was illegal for many reasons. Be- fore the filing of the remonstrance the court had granted the license and refused to entertain the remon- strance. The citizens of Webster, headed by William Kimball, there- upon applied through their attorney, Zach J. Mitchell, to the court of ap- peals for a writ of certiorari, which was granted,and on the hearing yes- terday the petitioners asked to have the decision of the county court re- versed, their proceedings quashed, and the license annulled for the fol- lowing reasons: First, because the action of the county court in grant- ing the license at the same term in which the application was filed was iWegil and in violation of the law, which required it to be laid over till the there was uv application filed prior 1e filing of the petition; third, eause the petition for the licence next term; second, because ufficient in this, that it only purported to be signed by tax pay- ers when the law required rs, and that 215 ofthe na tax pay on the petition were not on the books; fourth, because tiity-three nan s on the petition could not be dec cates. sred, and twelve were dupli- The Court of Appeals re- viewed the case in a lengthy opinion and sustamed all the points of the appelants, except the second, re- quiring the filing of a petition for li- cense, and not only reversed the de- cision of the court, but quashed their proceeding and an- nulled the license granted Horsh.

Theodore Child will follow his ar- ticle on “Palatial Petersburg,” in the July number of Harper's Maga- zine, with one on “The Kremlin and Russian Art,” in the August number. The latter will be even more lavishly illustrated than the former. Mr. Child will analyze into its constituent elements Muscovite art as exempli- fied in the architecture and the trea- sures of the palaces and churches of the Kremlin, and will exhibit the truth of the conclusion that there is such a thing as an onginal and na- tional art in Russia—an idea at which western critics scoffed not many years since. i St. Louis, July 7.—The court of \ | appeals yesterday handed down a decision, which reverses the ruling of the St. Louis county court on the passed on was of more than ordinary interest, being that of William Kim. Four New States. Philac 21, Pa, July 14.—Sena- dent at Deer Park Wednesday next | It is said that one of the objects of the meeting is to confer relative to the October elections in four states. Until recently the republican mana- gers were confident of carrying all of them but now they are only sure of North Dakota, and are greatly dis- tressed for fear that the democrats will capture Montana. and Wahing- ton territory, and also sweep south Dakota, through a combination with the farmers’ alliance. Should these states be carried by the democrats the republicans would loose their present majority of twoin the sen- ate and five in the house, and beth houses would be under democratic control. President Harrison is said to be seriously alarmed over the prospect, and is depending upon Quay to save the party from such a disaster. Learning the Truth at Last. Chauney Depew is sometimes re- freshingly candid—after the election is over. Ona recent occasion he made these remarks, refering to the scramble for office under his admin- istration. “The whole country seems to think that Cleveland re- moved and replaced all the office- holders, and that vacancies can be mad¢ everywhere. The factis that he removed only about one-third of the place holders.” “The whole country,” of course, means the mem bers of the Republican party, since they are the only persons who are seeking Federal office. It strange that they are ignorant of the fact that President Cleveland removed only about one-third of the Republican officeholders.
