DEMOURATIC OOMMITTEE.- Notice is hereby given that a/ meeting of the democratic central committee of Bates county will be/ held at the city hall, in Butler, Mo.,| on Saturday, February 18th, 1893, At 1 o’clook, p. m., for the purpose of making all necessary arrauge- meats to provide for the nomination of a county school commissioner aud to transact such other business as may properly come before it. T. K. Lirzz, Parisu NICKEL, Chairman. td Secretary. J. C. McCullough was killed near Little, Ark. by a convict guard named Sullivan. Senator-elect Martin of Kansas, starts for Washington Wednesday to claim his seat. President Harrison is determined to appoint a Republican successor to Justice Lamar. The atrike at the Brooks locomo tive works has become so serious that troops have been called for. Serious charges have been prefer- red against Speaker Davis of the Tennessee house of representatives. A colony ‘of Bohefmans from Northern Missouri have bought 17,- 600 acres of land near Victoria, Tex. ——_——_ George C. Grover, Royal British Commissioner tothe world’s fair, was found dead in his bed at Chicago. Major Morris ‘advucates martial -iaw on the Rio Grande border and talks interestingly of the trouble in capturing the insurgents. Deputy United States Marshal H. .N. Faulkinbury was killed in Baxter county, Arkansas, by timber cutters whom he was trying to arrest. Three n were led by the wrecking of a freight train 50 miles from Louisville, Ky., on the Newport News and Mississippi Valley road. Kansas populists are said to have a plan to sieze the hall of the house of the representatives by force, if necessary, and freeze the republi- cansout. —_—_—_—_—__—_ A Texas posse trailing Henry ‘Smith, the negro who outraged and murdered a little girl near Paris, have crossed over into the Indian Territory. The United States government is taking active steps to protect its in- terest in the Sandwich Islands. Ex- tensive naval preparations are under way for sending war ships to Hono lulu. “Many public men, including per- haps 1000 Missourians, have been duped by a fellow calling himself W. | President Harrison gave utterance to very patriotic words when he said: “In settling this Hawaiian question this government his certain du- jties to discharge. It should dis charge those duties without regard | to the wishes of Great Britaiu or any other power In short this gov ernment should act as if there were | no other powers in existence.” ~ | The indications are now that the United States senate will be compos- ed of 44 democrats, 39 republicans Iu case of the lat- | ter voting solidly with the republi- | and 5 populists. cans, Vice President Stevenson will | have the deciding vote. But it is thought that the populisis will vote with the democrats on all important legislation. The Jefferson City democratic club expelled Hon. J. R. Edwards, mem ber of the legislature from Cole coun ty and editor of the Democrat at that. place, on a charge of scratching the democratic ticket. Mr. Edwards re- fused to run the county ticket in his paper and although a nominee refus- ed to support several candidates on the ticket. Mr. Edwards’ partner, W. S. Davidson, was also expelled for the same reason. Our esteemed friend Lee Chiswell, of the Lamar Democrat, is a candi- date for the appointment of consul general to Havana, Cuba. Mr. Chis- well is a highly educated gentleman, a lawyer by profession and by choice one of the best newspaper men in the southwest. He has for years de- voted his time and talents to the cause of the democratic party and his abilities deserve recognition. No more popular appointment could be made from this section of the state. Governor Stone, last week, ap- pointed J. A. Wickham adjutant gen- eral aud Charles Evans, of Randolph County, Mine Inspector. General Wickham was endorsed by the full state wilitia and his appointment Dunbar, who was to print their por- traits in a publication he styled “Il- lustrated America.” Mrs. Henry Lawson, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Scott and Miss Lizzie Scott, of Louisville, Ky., were poisoned with arsenic alleged to have been sput in drinking water and sugar by Mrs. Lawson's husband from whom she had recently separated. gives general satisfaction. He made one of the best adjutant general’s the state had ever has and did much toimprove the militia. Mr. Evaus is a practical miner and was was en- dorsed by miners and operators. Judge John Martin, of Topeka, was elected U S. Senator last week by the populists aud democratic members. The republicans, who or ganized a dua’ house, refused to vote. If the republicans had voted it would have kept Judge Mar- tin from securing the required ma- jority. It is expected that a fight will be made against Martin takirg his seat. His credentials are from the two houses and the governor, which makes a prima facie case, and it is believed he will be permitted to take his seat. The liittle town of Arrow Rock in Saline county is all stirred up over their recent bank failure, A young lawyer by the name of Murrell, of Marshall,was appointed assignee but when he went down to take charge of the banks affairs, the citizens of the town tyrned out and prevented him from even unlocking the door. They claim that an Arrow Rock citi zeu should be the assignee and that Murrel was appointed in order that he might charge a big fee for legal services, These bank failures are getting very common and that with- out any apparent cause. “GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE.” That is what we have always tried todo, and have never knowingly plucked a single deserved laurel from his brow- We have often won- The following is the way Judge Martin introduced himself to the populist caucus before he was elect: ed senator from Kansas: “I come before you as a democrat, and if I am elected to the senate of the Unit- ed States it must be on the basis that I am a democrat.” No “‘this council does not propose to see it(the finances) frittered away in jobs salaries and useless tinkering” when it pays one lawyer $100 and the city attorney $50 to bring a suit in the cireuit court to recover $700. The old council let its print- ing to the lowest bidder which the law requires, while this council is feeding its favorite. We would like to see some of those “needed and ‘valuable improvements.” Perhaps the saving will be in the lumber bill which the mayor furnishes. People are not fools and they are getting very weary of this silly rot. dered just what good mission the union labor party was to perform— which brought it into existence. We have even doubted that it had one redeemiug quality. We were mis- taken and hasten to take off our hat and “give the devil his due.” It as- sisted in the defeat of therepublican party in several western states. And now it has assisted in sending a straight democrat to the United States Senate from Kansas. This one good deed will offset very much of the harm it has done. Now comes our popular and efficient cireuit clerk and points out a redeeming quality the Bates county end has. Mr. Hayes says that there has been less civil litigation the past vear than was ever known before for the same length of time in the history of Bates county, and the present dock- et for the February “term of court is small. Mr. Hayes credits this healthy jcorder, but was defeated. for the state of affairs in part to the secret | nomination by Jim Rayburn.

It may be, ‘however, that the Farmers’ Alliance ‘and notthe Union Labor party de- jserves the credit. The Farmers’ Al- jlhauce is a distinctly non-political organization. At least that is what lits constitution claims, and an or- ganization should live up to its con- ‘stitution While the fact that liti- gation is scarce is tough on the law- yers, it is a good sign for the county and we are glad to note it, no mat- ter who is entitled to the credit. TOWNSHIP ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE ABOLISHED A bill has been iutroduced in the Missouri legislature to abolish town ship organization. Out of one hun- dred and fourteen counties in the state only seventeen are now work ing under the township organiza- tion system. In has some advan tages, itis true, but it has very many disadvantages The money which might be spent profitably in improving roads and bridges throug- out the county is frittered away pay- ing salaries to twenty four sets of officers. In the smaller townships the pay is so small that competent men will not bother with tending to the business, consequently it is neg lected, roads are ina deplorable condition, the assesment of proper- ty and collection is performed ina slip-shod manner all at the expense of the tax-payer. The present levy for road purposes, if collected by one man and expended judiciously and intelligently by the county court, would materially improve the condition of Bates county's roads. The rate of levy for county purposes could be reduced if the township and county levies were combined The only reason that township or ganization is retained in Bates coun- ty, is because the politiciaus iu the larger townships want to keep the offices for the money in it to them- selves. Township should be abolished. TAKE HER IN. A bloodless revolution occured in Hawaii, a group of island in the Pa citic ocean last week by which the queen, Liliuokalani, was overthrown and a provisional form of government established. A delegation started immediately for the United States to petition this government to estab lish a protectorate over them or to annex them. These islauds are of great strategic value to this govern- went being located midway in the Pacific ocean between the United States, China, Australia and South America. In case of war with Great Britain or any other great foreign power the value of this point can not be overestimated. England does not want the United States tu gain possession of these islands and is consequently making a great bluff. This government is under no treaty which would prevent it from annex- ing these islands, and if her people want to come to us it is none of En gland’s business, and when it comes to that little game called “bluff” the U. S. is strietly “in it,” whether she has the navy or not. Uncle Sam has ordered all his war ships to proceed at once to Hawaii, and it is said that British warships have been ordered to the same place. It looks like we might have a little “scrapping match.”? organization The Butler Times used to be ex- ceedingly hostile to Bill Stone—now governor of Missouri. Soon after his candidacy was announced it (the Tres) flopped with so much vigor that the noise of the change resound ed far and wide and the general sup- position was that Bro. Allen “was promised sumpthin.” Heis now waiting with his mouth open like a hungry jay bird, but up to date he has received nothing that is visible. Question—What doth it availa man to flopt—Union. The editor of the Tres got every thing he asked or desired of Gov. Stone—the appointment of Col. Pace as warden. All we ever realiz- ed out of politics was the satisfac- tion of helping to promote our friends. We are not an office seeker lin any sense of the term. Can Bro. Carroll say as much? He was a can- | didate for the legislature before he was naturalized and in two years thereafter made a hard fight for re- | for something —anything in sight. W.H. Warnock. | Jefferson City Democras. The subject of this sketch was ap | pointed last Tuesday to the position |of chief clerk of the penitentiary by | Warden Pace. Up to this time dur jing the present session, he has been | one of the enrolling clerks in the | |senate. Mr. Wernock is a native of souri since 1872—for the past fifteen isalaw graduate of Washington University, St. Louis, and wasin the law class with Congressman Glover, Senator Sparks, J. L. Torry and oth- er noted products of that school His attention has been turned most- ly to merchandising, but he takes a degree of interest in politices becom ing any one interested in good gov ernment. He is known as an influ tial leader in the democratic ranks of Bates county. and his counsels are heard and heeded by the rank and file of his party there. His good judgment of menand measures has attracted the attention of those high up in political life and official stations. His efficiency as a scholar and business man, combined with his temperate habits and investiga- tive turn of mind. eminently qualify him for any public station of honor and trust. Mr. Warnock has a host of friends in the state who will be glad to hear ot bis appointment to the chief clerkship of the peniten- tiary. K. C. Mail:—Ex-Governor Crit- tenden, who has seen the folly of humoring republican office holders, offers the following as his view for future work. “No army would win avictory for the mere pleasure of fighting when it believes the tro- phies would be equally divided be tween the victims and victors. Lord Derby, than whom a more conserva- tive premier never sat at the head o the British ministry said: ‘Those who have won the battle ought te carry away the prize’ I firmly be lieve in the doctrine as a partisan, a+ a democrat. William L. Marey was its author, and by it the party has stood on every political battlefield, defeating and destroying “under that and other banners,” every opposing party and will continue to do so as long as it exists. “I said recently that I hoped Mr. Cleveland would put the political guillotine to work on the evening of the 4th of March. I believe there are plenty of well qualified demo- crats to fill all of the offices in the country, and by capture they are en titled to them. I fully believe in what Mr. Ingalls said in his Roches- ter interview “While I am not what is valgarly known as a spui s- man, it seems to me perfectly proper that the men who administer the functions of government should be in sympathy with the policy approv ed and personified with its executive head, and I have a suspicion that before Mr Cleveland has been pre siding long, pretty nearly all the of- fices will be held by democrats. May those suspicions be verified.” A spell of sickness is due when the system’s weakencd, and the blood impure. you must expect. But it’s what you must prevent, too. And Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med- ical Discovery prevents as well as cures. It invigorates the liver and kidneys, purifies and enriches the blood, sharpens the appetite, im- proves digestion, and restores health and strength. For Dyspepsia, “Liver Complaint,” and every form of Scrofulous, Skin, or Scalp Dis- cases, as Salt-rheum, Tetter, Ery- sipelas, or any blood-taint, it’s an unequaled remedy. It’s not like the sarsaparillas, which claim to be good for the blood in March, April and May. At all seasons alike, and in all cases, the “ Discovery” alone is guaran- teed. If it doesn’t benefit or cure, you have your money back. It’s the cheapest blood-purifier, no matter how many doses are offered for a dollar, for you py only for the good you get. ut it’s the best, or it couldn’t be sold so.
