It is dem-| ecratic in politics,and while we labor | hard for that party,believing that its | principles, properly carried out, | would be to the best interests of the whole people, still we think we are liberal enough to grant to everyone | the right to exercise bis own opinion | and judgment in regard to what| should be his political aztion. We do not appeal to any one for patron- age on account of any influence the paper may happen to wield for good or evil, but we try to make it such that its excellence and worth com- mands the patronage it deserves. We do not claim to publish the best county paper in the state, but we are doing the very best we can. In its onward march the Times has not the time nor inclination to turn aside and kick every little fiste that barks at its heels. We shall not en- ter into any personal controversies, for they are demoralizing in their tendencies and instead of being of interest are positiyely disgusting to our intelligent readers. g8, besides giving | wiof the general news | — ee | We have had peace and plenty. jean and will be fed With this volume we turn our 15th mile post and wish to pause long enough to thank those many good friends who have so faithfully stood by us in the past and shall en- deavor by hard work to deserve their continued patronage. While we have no disposition to boast of past achievements, we view our work with pride and lock confident- ly to the future for renewed con- quests. We can truthfully say that we hold no animosities toward any one, and we make it a policy to build up rather than tear down—to try and advance the interests of men rather than retard them. So- liciting the patronage of atl good people of Bates county on our mer- its aloue we move forward to that rainbow of promise which just now is very flattering to ouc gaze. S EEINUDEEEEUEDtemadted AN EXTRA SESS10N. Judge DeArmond’s letter to the St. Louis Republic, published on another page, gives clear and forci ble reasons why Mr. Cleveland should call an extra session of con- gress. This question is being agi tated all over the country, and is one which should and will command Mr. Cieveland’s earnest consideration. The democratic party is on trial for the first time in over 30 years, and on the action of congress in the next four years depends its lease of power. The people at the polls have told in no uncertain language what they want, and the democratic party is pledged to give them the relief they demand. It is true, as has been pointed out by many able leaders, that the party should “make haste slowly.” Often revolution that is ultimately bene- F: toa nation, proves disastrous to very many interests by too sud- den change. The great change ex- pected to be produced by tariff re- form should be gradual so as to give the present business interests of the country, inaugurated and conducted under the present system, an oppor- tunity to adapt itself to the new or- der of things. As to the time when this reform should begin Judge DeArmond very aptly says: 3 «Our work—undertake it early or late, as we may—will surely be criti- cised by the opposition. Let the attack be invited in 1893 instead of a year later. If we put out our work early next year it will have time to rove itself and justify us before the elections of 1894. But if we let a year of inaction slip by we shall find ourselves assailed in the next | election, unable to defend, with the verdict of history entered upon a fair trial of our legislation; we shall be left to the poor shelter of prephe-/ sy of to come as an offset to, vehement prophesies of evil.” ———_— ~” The people of Bates eounty have much for which to be thankful aud tomorrow we should all lay aside the ‘eares of business and devote to th= | Giver of the bountiful blessings we have received durivg the past year.

The public has not for-! gotten these facts. —_—— “The majority of our neighbors are democrats of the moss-back | class, and recent developments convinces us that some them would be more at home in the state prison and asylum for incurables.” The above is taken from the Hud- son correspondence in the Bates| county Record. It would seem that Mr. Austin endorses such sentiment ashe gives it a prominent place on the local page. We have no doubt the democrats of Hudson township \is annually shortened by the depar- |ture of those who answer, one by j who suffered injury in the raion ser | THE VOTE UF MISSOURI.

One of the problems that the demo cratic party wil! have to deal with is} to do full justice to the disabled veterans of the civil war without squandering half the enormous reve nues of the government in the pre- tense of paying their just claims.

In providing, therefore, for the thinned and thinning ranks of those vice the government can well afforé to err, iferr it must, on the side of Nibervity rather than of a too nar parsimduious justice.
