WEDNESDAY, DEC. 1889. ——_—_— ———————— PERFEVT YOUR ORGANIZATION. The democratic state central com- mittee has completed its organiza tion,by the election ofa secretary,and is preparing to makea thorough and systematic organization of the state 18, by counties. The commiltee appre- ciates the fact that mew conditions in politics are continually arisiug which have to be watched and new contingencies which, if let alone, might work disruption and disas- trous defeat. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty,” and that army which neglects discipline, depending alone on its numerical strength to gain an easy victory, will find, if not in ignominious defeat, at least in great numbers of men sacrificed, the folly of such a course. These gen- tlemen, composing this committee, not only recognize the importance of being well and thoroughly organ- ized, but they also realize that the perfection of this organization must be entrusted to competent hands, consequently a secretary is chosen with this end in view, who will de- vote his whole time and attention to the work. Now,it is just as import- ant that the party organization be kept up in the county as in the state; in fact, without the co-operation of the county committees the work of the state committee must necessari- ly fall far short of what it otherwise would be. The Bates county cen tral committee was called together this fall by the chairman, D. R. Braden, and, understand, iim portant work was mapped out eich individual member, in his re spective township, which, if consum- mated, would put the party organi- zation in the county in excellent shape fora campaign. Have these gentlemen, entrusted with this work, done their whole duty faithfully and conscientiously? Have the chairman and secretary, on whose shoulders a great responsibility rests, performed their duty well and faithfully?) We are not finding fault, neither are we questioning the sincerity of any member, but this committee is likely to be confronted by conditions, un- known in the political history of the county, und we warn them to be on their guard against surprises—be prepared for any emergency that may arise. It is true there is no need for active campaign work at this time, but there is preliminary work necessary, not only for the ase we for . sistance of the state committee, but ‘for the party in the county. We are not alarmists, neither do we possess superiors knowledge on this subject, but simply suggest that which is ape parent to any close observer who has taken the pains to investigate for himself. Forewarned is forearmed, and we trust that our committeemen will think of this matter seriously ,and act at once, if they have not al- ready done so. The county court Monday was served with notice by the U.S Mar- shal, that suit had been commenced in the U. S. circuit court at Kansas City by one Norman De V. Howard, a citizen of Florida, against Bates county, for old Mt. Pleasant town- ship, on bonds 33 and 35 issued in 1870 to the Lexington, Lake & Gulf railroad, being two,bonds that were not found when the balance of the bonds were compromised in 1886. Suit is for face of bonds, with cou- pons attached, bearing 10 per cent interest, dated January 15 ‘85, ’84, *83, F'82, '8land ‘80. The date of the trial is the first Monday in March 1890. The amount of the bonds and interest is now $3,200, if net compounded. Jake Kilrain kas been found guilty, at Purvis, Miss., not of prize fight- | ing but of assualt and was sentenc-! ed to pay a fine of $200 and impris- onment in jail for two months. The ease was appealed and Kilrain ad-| mitted to bail in the sumof $31000. Of Interest to the Farmers. From Mr. Levi Chubbuck, secre- tary of the Missouri State Board of | Agriculture, the Tres received a circular letter aunouncing that the j state board of agriculture has deci Bates county, at Butler January 13 The secretary says the board has ings, but for lack of funds they have not been able to comply with the re- quests of but fifteen, one of which is Bates. These meetings are of great importance to the farmers, as nothing but matters touching th interests will be seed. The circular says: At the coming series of meetings there will be present the board, professors of the state university and agricultural college and others who will deliver addresses on subjects of interest to farmers. Dr. Paul Paquin, State Veterivarian or some of his assistants will discus auimal disease; Prof. J. W. Clark, horticulturist, will talk on fruit growing in Mo.; Dr. E. D Porter, dean of the agricultural college, will discuss some farm subject; Prof. G. D. Purinton will speak of insects; Prof. H. C. Phillps will lecture on country roads; Prof. H. J. W: on agricultural experiment work; J. L. Erwin of Calloway county, on dairying; Thos. Lafon, of Boone county, on horse breeding. stock vicinity of places of meeting wi uters in the llas Farmers and men sist in making the programmes in- structive by discussing different practical subjects. In view of the fact that county has thus been favored by the Bates state board of agriculture, and that be these matters such prominent speakers will present to discuss which are or should be ance to every farmer, of import we hope to see 2 good turnot above date. the farmers will interest themselves in the matter.

The meeting was called to or- der by Rev. Sledge and De Mize was elected chairman. Judge DeArmond delivered an eloquer wud very ap- propriate address, whieh H received by the large and apprecia tive audience. Elder Browning and Rev. A. B. Francisco, ef Lee’s Sum- mit, followed with appropriate re marks. Rev. Sledge closed the meet- ing with prayer. The meeting was called by a committee of ex-confed erate soldiers as a last and fitting tribute to the memory of their de parted chieftain, and was participat- ed in by a large number of our citi zens irrespective of politics,and it was gratifying to witness a number of gallant soldiers who wore the blue, seated with those who wore the gray, listening with rapt attention to the tribute paid the dead leader of the southern confederacy. Such a scene as this is what buries forev- er the animosities of past and makes friends and brothers of the old sol- ders. On the death of ex-secretary of war Jefferson Davis the Harrison administration ran the flag over the war department to full mast. This was appropriate in an administration that only a few daysago half masted the flag of the Union, “Union down,” in honor of a republican boss who had stabbed a rival boss td§ death, and boasted that his victim “bellow- ed likea calf,”’while he was butcher- ing him.—Republic. Will the Kansas City Times please excuse Senator Vest for living? It is true that Mr. Vest is a Missouri democrat, and Missouri democrats earn the lasting hatred of the Times when they achieve any prominence. But the Times might graciously per- mit Vest to breathe. Some people who are rather fond of Vest Personally cannot bear to see him snuffed out of existence.—Kansas City Star. Itis now stated that James G.

Prepared by the Porrer DrvG axpD CikmicaL CorroraTtion, with the senate I place my associa- tion with you, and first among the consolations for the train of events which led to my separation from that body I number your very kind letter. If I know myself, you do me jus- tice in supposing that my effort in the session of 1850 were directed to the maintainance of constitutional right as members of the union and that I did not ympathize with those who desired the dissolution ot the union. After my return to Missis- sippi in 1851, I took ground against the policy of secsession and drew the resolution adopted bythe democrat- ic states’ rights convention of June 1851, which declared that secession was the last alternative, the final remedy, and should not be resorted to under existing circumstances. I thought the states had solemnly set the seal of their disapprobation on some of the measurs of the “Com- promise.” When a member of the United States senate I opposed them because I thought them wrong andofa dangerous tendency, also because the people of every town and the legislature, by resolutions of instructions required me to op- pose them. But indiscreet men went too fast and far; the public be- came alarmed and the reaction cor- responded witk the action, extreme in both instances. The most curious and suggestive feature in the case is the fact that those who were originally foremost in the movement were beneficiaries of the reaction. Having, by their extreme course, created apprehere sion, they shouted most lustily that the union was in danger and saved, by their exertions, the offices of the state and some of the federal govern- ment.
