WEDNESDAY, APRIL 30, 1890. ee NOT ULEVELAND’S WORDS. The New York World editorially exonerates Ex-president Cleveland from the coarse and intemperate language attributed him in a recent alleged interview in that paper. Con- sidering the personal abuse and persistent and wanton persecution be has undergone at the hands of the editor of the Sun, it would have been no great marvel for a man less noble and conservative than Mr. Cleveland to have lost patience and temper. Even after the World has confessed that it did not correctly quote Mr. Cleveland, this vindictive editor persists in making its pre- text for assailing the ex-president. Those republican organs which have been so industrously circulating this alleged interview and Dana’s vulgar reply have not as yet publish- ed the World’s vindication, which is as follows: “The interview with ex-President Grover Cleveland, published in the World of Thursday last, has excited considerable comment in the press throughout the country. Newspa- pers friendly to Mr. Cleveland have generally regarded it as a natural and justifiable outbreak of indigna- tion after six of seven years of gross personal abuse by a malignant ene- my. Others, who ate political op. ponents of the ex-president, have spoken of it as undignified and un- becoming a man in his position. Many have remarked the vehemence of some of the expressions and have doubted the correctness of the report. After a thorough investiga- tion we are satisfied that all Mr. Cleveland said for publication of a personal character was contained in =e Next Saturday the F. & \ | county convention will be held in | Butler, and we understand {meeting the question of whether or first fourteen lines of the remarks attributed to him, and that he did not use the coarse and intemperate personal expressions attributed to him in a subsequent portion of the interview. The friends of Cleveland will scarcely need this assurance, as they well know such language is foreign to his temperament and his custom and will readily credit this explanation in view of the fact that the dignified yet modest manner in which he has borage himself on all “occasion smce his retirement from the presidency has won public ad- miration and is the best guarantee that he is incapable of putting him- self on a level with his assailant.” Butler will extend an invitation to the congressional committee to hold the next convention in this city. Most of the other counties in the district have been favored in this respect. Bates county has ney- er hada democratic congressional convention held within her borders, though she has always rolled up ma- jorities for the ticket that would compare favorably with any county in the district. Butler's hotel ac- commodations are ample to enter- tain the delegates and visiting states- men. Our hospitable people invites the democracy of the district to come to one of the best towns in the best county in the state. We will endeav- or to make your stay with us pleas- ant. To date, Bates county has not a candidate for congress, and prob- ably will not have one. So it is with no selfish motives that we urge our claims in this matter. Bro. Wade has at last relieved an anxious public in declaring that Judge DeArmond will not be a can- didate for congress. We have no doubt that the Judge feels relieved and very grateful to Bro. Wade for this decision, as it looked very much at one time as if he would be run for Supreme Judge and Congress, one or both, by the doughty Colo- nel. Now Judge DeArmond can rest easy and sleep sound for this is understood to be Col. Wade's ulti- matum. Great is the power of the Pope to make and depose kings, but greater far is the power of the afore said Colonel in making congressmen. ir U. at this not a county ticket will be run will} be definitely settled. We trust that | the conservative element of the or- ganization, those members who love the order and the principles it in-} culeates wore than a democratic} ticket defeated, will see that the constitution of the order is respect- ed and the politicians made to take a back seat. We ask every fair mind- ed farmer in the county to stop and consider what benefit it would be to the order if they shoul elect a full county ticket. In every county in the state in which this question has been agitated, the Union has declar- ed against a county ticket. Shall Bates county be the exception, led by a number of broken down demo- cratic and republican politicians? We believe the sensible farmers of the order, both democrats and re- publicans, will declare in favor of keeping politics out of theF. & L. U. order. cc S_—_—_— Congress did a wise and very hu mane act last week when it passed the resolution appropriating $150,- 000 for the relief of the people of the flooded districts of the Missis- sippi. This, of course, is a very small amount, but it will be suf- ficient to sustain 35,000 two weeks, one ration per day. or until the Louisiana legislature meets. The waters of the Mississippi are higher than for 25 years and much suffer- ing by people and stock is reported. When the democratic treasurer of Missouri appropriated $32,000 he was the proper subject of scorn in congress, but the Philadelphia Press finds it very ‘indecent’ ‘to “attack Mr. Quay,” who,as treasurer of Penn sylvania, is charged with having sto- len a quarter of a million. Accord- ing to the Press, to reprove a dem ocratic embezzler is a high public duty, and to reprove a republican embezzler is ‘a vulgar _ ti-rade.” This is a very fine distinction —K. C. Star. The New York Commercial Ad- vertiser says the recent election in Rhode Island says to the country that the g. o. p. has lost its useful- ness, and is without further mission in American politics. Congressman Mansur, says con- gress will adjourn before the 4th of July. This is cheering news to the county if true. The late Secretary of the Navy 1s able to live in great and costly style. The frieze which decorates the din- ing room of Mrs. W. C. Whitney represents not enly Shakepeare’s heroes and heroines in life size, but also the modest sum of $10,000. Judge Peedan, of St. Clair County. In the United States court, at| Jefferson City, Wednesday, in the case against Judge James Peedan; late of the county court of St. Clair county, for contempt was passed over for six months. The court de- cided to let Judge Peedan off with payment of costs, about $80. It appears that the Judge is in very stringent financial circumstances at present, and for this reason the court granted him further time. He is one of the county judges who successfully dodged the United States officers for a long time, and then refused to make a levy to pay off judgments against the county after a writ of the federaj courts had been served on him. R. M. Yost, in reading a paper at St. Louis during the meeting of the Missouri Press Association said: “Confronted at times by the ingrat- itude of individuals and of commu- nities, I do not wonder that the edi- torial mind has turned wearily and in despair to that spirit which is called mercenary, I understand and appreciate all the symptoms. are those of mental weariness. The editor tired; tired of so many thank- less tasks; tired of massing his brain aud energy upon a mountain of in- gratitude; tired of standing in the shadow while others have the sun- shine of his creation. In short, the weekly newspaper has come to be like willow—its green leaves fringe! the bank because of the dampness at its feet and it weeps in sorrow over hopes that lie buried there.” | neighborhood a little Thev | tert CALIFORNIA EARTHQUKAE. t Shocks Felt on the A Dozen Dis Coast. San Francisco, Cal., April 24—| One of the most severe shocks of | eartquake experienced here for a long time was felt in this city and| A after 3:30 o'clock this morning. The buildings were shaken perceptibly and per-| sons aroused from their slumber. Plastermg fell from the wall in places. The shock was very sharp and the earthquake general. In this city no serious damage was done. The walls of a few houses, including the United States Appraiser’s build- ing, in which the federal courts are held, were cracked and there was considerable alarm felt by persons who were aroused from sleep. The most serious damage is re- ported from Pajaro, where the rail- road bridge was thrown two feet out of line and tke approaches of it damaged.

I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me over nearly my entire body. Only those who have suffered from this disease in its worst form can imagine the extent of my affliction. Itried many medicines, but failed to receive benefit until I took Hood's Sarsaparilla.

A dispatch from Mayfield says that the shock was very severe there. The railroad bridge was rendered impassable as the piers, 60 feet high, settled a few inches and the rails spread about a foot. The ground in places settled 6 to 12 inches.| Railroad travel will be delayed afew hours.
