In spite of the |fact that some of his premises are faulty, bis deductioas are correct. ; Tbe democratic party is passing through the crucial test of its exist- | ence of over a hundred years. Great | bodies involying immeuse interests must necessarily move slowly. Where there are so many sectional interests at stake in a great country like this legislation for the whole must of ne- cessity be composed of compromises. These are facts which every detao crat should bear in mind. A man when he advocates measures solely for the interest of the people of Bates county or the state of Mis souri is in entirely a different sphere from him who represents the inter- ests of the people of the United States. We are prone to imagine that every legislative measure should be moulded to our individual ideas and those of the community in which we live and not concede to others the privileges we assume to ourselves. We want to say to democrats who are loud mouthed in their denuncia tion of the action of the party leaders that they are doing more to injure the cause of democracy than the party leaders they condemn—than all the republicans and populists combined can possibly do. They are sowing the seed of discord and dissatisfaction in the breasts of the rank aud file where it will grow and bring forth disastrous fruit, no mat- ter what the beneficial laws this congress may and will pass. There was never a great revolu tion but what had its Benedict Arnold. The first time is presented in thirty years whep the democratic whole _ |party has had the opportunity to discover its traitors. It appears from late developments that there are traitors to the people and party in the United States Senate. While they will work an irreparable injury to the cause of reform the party can not be held responsible for their ap pearance there at this critical time. Is it not folly to condemn the dem- ocratic party and the great princi- ples for which it stands because of the Hills, Murpbys. Brices and Gor mans who bave accidentally gained seats high up in the party council?

This estimable citizen and good Jemocrat, for more thau a quarter of a century a leading farmer and stock raiser o! the county, aman widely known and respected by all, places bis announcement iu the Times this week as a candidate for the office of recorder of Bates county. Mr. Ny- hart is a genial, clever gentleman, a democrat the old school and should he be successful in securing the nomination the houor could not be conferred upou a better or more He would poll the full strength of the party and more and there would be no doubt of his tri- umphant election. STEWART ATOHESON wants us to inform the democrats of Bates county, through our an- uouncement columus that he will ac- cept the nomination for circuit clerk on the democratic ticket Mr. Atche- son is 36 years of age, came to Bates county with bis parents in 1876 and locate.i 11 Deepwater township where he ha. siuce resided and where he cast hiv first vote He is very popu lar in his tuwnship, served as collec- tor for six years, coustable for two, and is now clerk und assessor,always being elected by large majorities. Mr. Atcheson represented his town ship innumerable time in democratic councils and conventions and was often mentioned as excellent material for a county officer, but this is his first cffort in that diretion. of reliable man. He isa clever, courteous gentieman, honor- able und upright in all bis transac tions, a good democrat and would make a strong caudidate. He is well qualified and the mantle of John Hays could not fall on more worthy shouldets. JAS- T. WILLIAMS. In our announcement column this week will be found the name of Jas T. Williams of Mt Pleasaut town ship as a candidate for the cftice of recorder. This geutleman needs no introduction to the citizens uf Bates county or eulogies from us, as he has made the race twice before for this office and each time came within a few votes of getting the nomina tion, being second maa in the race which is evidence should he get the nomination he would make a strong man on the ticket. For a number of years he has been dealing in live stock as a shipper and the farmers with whom he dealt will testify to his upright dealing with them, at all times paying the top of the market for stock. Mr. W. is well qualified for the office and would make a pains- taking accommodating officer. Should the convention confer the} honor of the nomination upon him no mistake will be made, and it will be honoring a gentleman worthy of the trust. M- M. TUCKER. The subject of this sketch came to Bates county in 1859 settled in Grand River township and has lived there ever since. He has served his people in nearly all the township of- fices besides being a member of the school board for years. He has al- ways been a consistent democrat and assisted in the party organiza- tion at a time when it tried a man’s nerve to be a democrat in Bates county. He is an old and highly re- spected citizen and very popular where he is best known. He will submit his name to the democratic convention for Probate Judge. If the party sees fit to honor him with the nomination he will endeavor to exception of two terms. Has always been a consistent democrat and zeal- to perform the duties of the offiee to He is honest and carry the banner to victory; ifit de- termines otherwise he will bow to its decree and be found in the front rank battling for the parf¥ success any how. He is well qualified and would make a good officer. The Pollard-Breckinridge case closed at Washington Friday. The lawyers will now talk and then the jury will do the rest.

The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the world’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers ae permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- neys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance.

The Bluefields incident involving the enforcement. of the Monroe doc- trine, coupled with an intimati:n of had faith on the part of Great Brit- ian in carrying out the award of the Bering Sea tribunal, will probably attract the bulk of attention.

Democratic Leaders Will Pash the Tariff Bill Along. FORECAST OF THE HOUSE. Washington, D. C., April 8.—If the plans of the democratic leaders uf the sevate do not miscarry the seuate will devote itself almost ex- vlusively this week to the consider - 1on of the tariff bill. Their plan is to have the bill taken up each day tomediately after conclusion of routine morning business, wh ch means that they desire to absorb a< much of the morning hour, which usually lasts until 2 o'clock, as pos- Strayed, A dark brown horse colt, white sible, and cut out the discussion of miscellaneous subjects, many of vhich are introduced when a ques tion like the tariff bill is under dis- cussion for the purpose of obtaining fore foot,with small star in forehesd, from my pasture } west and 1 mile north of Passaic.

They may not succeed in Eran cia wetting such an order as this, but the announcement of the purpose of making an effort in that direction is | a declaration of their iniention of crowding the debate along as rapidly as possible. The democratic mem bers of the finance committee will also probably undertake to extend the daily session until 6 o'clock, which will most likely be resisted by the republicans. Senator Lodge has announced a} speech for Thursday, and. may also conflict with Senator Peffer. The | latter is expected to consume all of | another day and possibly two days more.
