The city ticket nominated by the citizens convention last Wednesday is composed of good men and clever gentlemen—the majority of them being old citizens, owning property and having an interest in our city. It is not a ticket, however, that will inspire enthusiasm into the masses, or, if elected, would be ex- pected to accomphsh very much in the matter of pushing our city to the front. Then again it is a mug- wump ticket and no party, sect or creed can be held responsible for their acts. The people of Butler have given the so-called citizens board a fair trial for four years, and what are the fruits tu show? When a democratic board retired four years ago it left to the city electric lights, two night-watchmen, a street commissioner. The city warrants were at par, the streets around the square macadamized, a street grader was bought and worked on our streets and they were ina better condition than they have ever been since. A citizens board has been in power for that length of time and what has been accomplished? By an order from the board 10 per cent is written in the face of every warrant in order to get the cash thereon, a clearly illegal proceeding. The office of street commissioner has virtually been abolished by tacking it on to the marshal’s duties, that officer being compelled to neglect one or the other of his offices. The sidewalks are going from bad to worse with no effort on the part of the authori- ties to keep them in repair or force the property owners to do so. The town itself is allowed to get and re- main in a dilapidated, dirty, un- healthy condition. Two whiskey joints are allowed to run openly in our city in violation of law and the ordinances of the city in such cases made and provided. These joints are notorious and yet no efforts are made by the city’s officials to pre- vent or even! molest them. The lights are done away with and the city is left in total darkness. This citizens board has had the people of the city in a furor of excitement voting worthless franchises for nearly a year,and this without adequately pro tecting the city interests by making the grantees give a sufficient bond to fulfill their part of the contract. In fact the citizen board has done noth- ing, absolutely nothing to commend itself to the confidence of the peo- | ple and very much that should con- | ribb: St. Patrick’s Vash-| x Se ee Gecan them in the eyes oferery ail on on atrick’s day at Wash-| by the many remarkable cures he} nds ime and place or citizen in the town. f | The financial ‘county, published two wecks ago in that the debt of; reduced $1.231 for to March 1, 1890. $158,396 has been paid in by towuship collectors, thus virtually reducing the debt $19,627 in one year. The actual indebtedness of the county on March 1st 1890, as shown by the published statement, was $36,770.53, applying the $18,396 ithe Trzs, shows ‘the county wa | the year 1889 up | Since March Ist to the payment of the debt, whicn will be done immediately, and we have left an existing indebtedness of less than $20,000. This speaks well for the financiering of the present The great objector O. D. Austin, who has a personal grievance at the court because it refused to give him the public printing, should . carefully county court and court hater, study these figures and see if he can get any consolation therefrom. The Tres last week called on Mr. Wade tolay aside personal preju- dice and support the democratic city ticket, nominated by a regular and legally called democratic con- vention in which he refused to take part. Mr.Wade evaded the issue by abusing the Tres and declaring the Daily Democrat independent in pol- ities. The ticket was run in the weekly without comments. It may be that he intends to open up in his weekly this week, but in view of the fact that the daily absorbed the weekly circulation in the city, about the only effect it would now have would beto place its editor right before the county democracy. Prairie Fire. A wind driven prairie fire which started on a farm in Sedwick county Kansas, Sunday, has burned over thousands and thousands of acres of land and has laid waste everthing in its path. At last accounts the fire was still raging and had burned over ten sections of land. An immense amount of property is reported to have been lost, and the lowest esti- mate so far is put at two hundred thousand dollars. The country is thickly settled but the farmers seem- ed to be powerless in checking the speed of the flames, and the most that could be done was to try and protect their homes and stock. The Farmer’s Alliance in Kansas has addressed an open letter to the Kansas delgation in congress, calling their attention to the alarming con- dition of the agricultural interests of that state. Among other things the letter says that a single law firm in one city in southern Kansas has the contract for the foreclosure of 1800 mortgages, which means 1800 homesteads transferred from the hands of so many industrious fami- lies to the hands of capitalists. This is bad, but is nothing more than might naturally be expected. Thou- sands have been deluded into going to Kansas by glowing but untrue accounts of the country, and after mortgaging their homes, and the failure of crops, they have to stand idly by and see their homes sold. The letter concludes as follows: “The distress of the people is ery- ing aloud for relief. They believe that very many of the questions that are receiving the attention of congress are far less urgent than those upon which the safety of their homes and the welfare of their fam- ilies depend. They believe that the white citizens of Kansas have some rights as well as the colored citizens ofthe south. They believe that fallen heroes, both white and black, in past struggle for liberty and the perpetuity of our institutions, can afford to wait for one moment until the rights of living heroes in the present struggle for American homes receive some recognition by the men who have been chosen to represent them in congress. Behind these de- mands are more than 100,000 ballots in the state of Kansas, and the time is coming and is not far distant when legislators will heed the voice of their constituents.” A protest against the tin-plate duty has been circulated by Phila- delphia manufacturers and signed in 18 states. It declares that “there are now about 750,000 workmen di- rectly connected with industries in this country that use the tinned plates as araw material, while 50,- 000,000 of our peoplein this country consume canned goods, as against 28,000 to 30,000 workmen that now manufacture all the tinned plates that are used and consumed in all the world.” esting in view of the fact that the tariffis now in the hands of its friends. jly member of the Missouri delega- jtion in congress who wore a green ington.

Against Supervision. | Sedalia Bazoo. | The Bazoo believes its adoption ‘would be a useless increase of ex- | pense to the tax payers without any | resulting benefits therefrom. The | provision enabling the people to adopt this plan of supervision has been on the statutes of Missouri | many years, yet it has been adopted jin extremely few counties and ina part of those where it was adopted it was afterward repealed, upon giv- ing it a trial which proved costly and unsatisfactory. In many other coun- ties of the state, its adoption has been voted on time and again but in- variably defeated, as it was made plain to the people that the plan was of no good to those paying the taxes. Of all of the states of the union, only three have adopted whole or partial superysion. This shows that there is very little merit in the system, or it would evidently be more generally in use. A few years ago, the plan was tried in Howard county of this state. Afterashort trial it was almost unanimously abolished. It was found that the superintendent could do nething but ride aroundand visit the schools, making a stay of about an hour at each one and giving a little lecture. This was all the peo- ple of that county received for the expenditure of about a thousad dol- lars a year. Hence, they soon saw the folly of it. One thing is sure. That is this— there are good teachers in Pettis county and if the people employ good teachers in their districts they will have good schools; if they em- ploy poor and incompetent teachers, & county superintendent, riding around and visiting them occasional- ly, can not give them good schools. Pettis county is in debt and her farmers are in hard straits finan- cially. There is no reason why they should vote upon themselves this extra expense without any benefit, simp y to make one more soft berth for « public official. They defeated it two years ago and they should do it again. Faiimers, workingmen and tax- payeis, beware of this visionary sche:ne; turn out at the polls on April Ist and vote against super- ViS10... The aboye editorial from the Se- dalia Bazvo strikes the nail square en the head, and as_ the points rais- ed are applicable to the issue in this county we commend its careful read- ing to the thoughtful and intelligent tax payers. The creation of useless offices at a cost of $1,500 to $2,000 per year is not calculated to reduce taxes, therefore, vote against school supervision when you go tothe polls on next Tuesday. Mr. Cockrell Improving Washington, D. C., March 21.— The reports that Mr. John Cockrell of New Mexico, son of Senator Cock- rell, had lost his mind and that the senator recently went to Mexico to bring the young man to Washington is without foundation, so far as the statement is concerned that Mr. Cockrell is demented. On hearing that his son was very sick Senator Cockrell went to New Mexico and persuaded him as soon as he was able to travel to accom- pany him to Washington in order to get somerest. The young man’s ailment was at first thought to be paralysis, due to overwork, but after arriving here it was found that this was not exactly the case. He was greatly pulled down and threatened with par- alysis of theright side. He is now improving rapidly and walking about. The friends of the family in Mis- souri will be glad to know that the report is groundless. Noland’s Arrest. Jefferson City, Mo., March 18.— Edward T. Noland, late State treas- urer, was called before Justice Wag- oner, of Jefferson City, to-day, to answer to a complaint filed by Pros- ecuting Attorney Davidson, charg- ing him with having embezzled the public funds of Missouri. Mr. Noland waived preliminary examination and gave bond in the sum of $5,000 for his appearance at the May term of the Cole county circuit court which begins Monday, May 18. The bond is good for at least $100,- 000. Senator Allison says that deep cuts ought to be made in the tariff sched- ules because of the “changed condi- tions.” Let us see, Iowa in 1888 gave Harrison a plurality of 32,000, and in 1889 elected a democratic governor by 6,500 plurality. Condi- tions have changed. The Standard. “I regard Hood's Sarsaparilla as having passed above the grade of what are commonly called patent propretary medicine,” said a well known physician recently. “It is fully entitled to be considered a ' standard medicine, and has wen this | position by its undoubted merit and |kas effected. For an alterative and i tonic it has never been equalled.” e | A Strong Ticket. j Kansas City, Mo.. March 21.—The | democratic city convention, after a long and protracted struggle that lasted until a late hour to night, placed the following ticket in the field: . Mayor, Benjamin Holmes; Treas- urer, Wm. Peake; Auditor, W. L. Hendershot: Police Judge, John L. Wheeler; City-Attorney, James W. Fraher; President Upper House, Marcy R. Brown. Scalv Skin Diseases Psoriasas 5 years, covering face, head, and entire body with scabs, Skin red, itchy and bleeding. Hair all gone Spent hundredsof dollars. Pronounc- edincurable, Cured by Cuticura Rem- edies. Cured by Cuticura My disease (psoriasis) first broke outon my left cheek, spreading across my nose, andal- most coyering my face. It ran into “Be eyes, and the physician was afraid I would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my head, and my hair all fell out, untill was en- tirely bald-headed; it then broke ont on my arms and shoulders, until my arms were just one sore. It covered my entire body, my face, head, and shoulders being the worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my head, shoulders and arms; the skin would thicken and be very red and itchy, and would crack and bleed ifscratched. Afterspending many hundreds of dollars, I was pronounced incura- ble. Iheard of the Cuticura Remedies, and after using two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, I could see a change; and after I had taken four bottles, I was almost cured; and when I had used six bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and one box of Cuticura, and one cake of Cuticura soap, I was cured of that dreadful disease from which I had suffered for five years. I thought the disease would leave a very deep scar, but the Cuticura Remedies cured it without any scars. I cannot express with a pen what I suf- fered before using the Cuticura Remedies. They saved my life, andI felt it my duty to recommend them. My hair is restored as good as ever, and so is my eyesight. I know of oth- ers who have received great benefit from their use.
