DeARMOND FOR ACTION. _| Oo last Thursday Judge DeAr-| mond made one of his characteristic | telling speeches in the houze, upon) the importance of this government | taking the initiative, if there is to be! war. He said that the victory bee, longed im war to that country that| best and first prepared for it. He) spoke stroogly in favor of stopping | the Spanieh flotilla of torpedo boats; now on its way to these waters. He said: | “No man doubts, no man can | doubt, the value of the modern lagent of destruction, known as the | torpedo boat, and the torpedo boat destroyer. Silently and swiftly in |the watches ef the night, over the | still waters, these swift boats pro- ceed upon their errand of deatruc- tion, and while insignificant in themselves, yet they carry such mighty agencies of destruction that the proudest battleship ever floated is a mere paper box when assailed by them. It is simply a trap, simply a magnificent grave beneath the water for those who unfortunately happen to be on board when the de stroyer strikes. * * * “But above all things let me again endeavor to impress upon the House that the danger to bs provided against is the danger which menaces us now. Every hour and every moment across the waters of the Atlantic is coming that danger. Every hour and every moment it is closer to ue, and every moment and every hour we are less secure in consequenee of it. I hope that those who have influence, that those who have the ear of tbe agency now directing and controlling the govern- ment, largely to the exclusion of the legislative branch, may exert that influence, that if that has not been done which ought to be done for our protection, it may be done with- out further delay.” (Applaus> ) We wish to call special attention to the announcement of our present efficient Recorder, J. C. Hale, who desires an endorsement of his official acts by a renomination. Asis well known this is a fee office. Since Mc Hale’s nomination and election the egielature charged the law on chat- tel mortgages frem recording to fileing and reduced the fee from one dollar to ten cents. When it is known that about 3,000 of these instruments are filed ia bis term, it can readily be computed what his loss will be on this one item. Mr. Hale feels that be hasn’t received what he expected or what the people expected him to receive. He has paid his own postage and furnished free blanks to the public. Beisa very clever, accommodating official, as all can testify who have had business with him, and his records are up todate in first class shape. Mr. Hale has been a resident of Bates county for forty years, barring the four years he served with “Pap” Price. His standing as a democrat, a citizen and a man of honor is un- questioned, and if nominated ard elected would continue to fill the office acceptably to the people. The Times takes great pleasure in calling attention to the announce- ment of S. W. S. Childe, candidate for county clerk. Mr. Childs was born and raised in Butler, was educated at our schcols and spent bis whole life among our people. His father, one of our most promi- nent business mep, was a working democrat and Shirley has followed the precepts of the father in that he was a worker for demccratie success even before his majority and no election bas passed since then that he did not vote and labor for the success of that ticket. He is an honorable and upright young gentle- man, sober and industrious, polite j}and affable ia his intercourse, clever and accommodating to all. He is | one of the most genial, whole souled young gentlemen in the county, true | to his triends and a man of his word jatall times. He is well qualified to Weare eco ar to annonnce WIMSATT, of Mound saneuakip? as candidate for Jags ge of | County Court forthe Morth district, sub- tethe action of the democratic county convention. SOUTH DISTRICT. We are authorized toannounee G. WwW TITH, of Deep Water tew , Judge ofthe County Court for the South I trict, subject to 4be action of the democratic county convention. FOR CORONER. We are authorized to amnounce DR. C USK, a candidste for Cor- rT, subject to the action of the democratic co nty eonvention. of New Heme towns as eandidate for | perform the duties of the office for | which he asks, would make a strong land active candidate cn the ticket, | os a most excellent county clerk. The revision of the laws by the| next general assembly cf the estate| jwill require the services cf compe- tent men, and it is gratifying to note! | that the people of the various coun | j ties are preparing to send good men} to represent them in the House and| Senate} | | | he has been in his present townsbir- | | offices he filled with eredit to him | favor the abandonment of the Dem. G. W. Stith, of ie Water Gian \ship, has his name in our announce- jment columns, as candidate for | associate judge of the county court. Mr. Stith was born in Montgomery! county, Ky., and moved to Migsouri| thirty years ago and for the past | seventeen years has been a resident of Bates county, fourteen of which He has been justice of the peace, | and township trustee, both of which | self and satiafactiun of his people He is a substantial farmer and his business experience fits bim for the responsible duties of the office to which he aspires. He is an honorable gentleman, courteous and clever to all. He stands high among his neighbors and thcse who know him best are his friends. He has been an active democratic worker all his life, and his nomination would add strength to the ticket. Several months ago when Hon D. A. DeArmond made a red hot speech on Cuba and sought to force a recognition of the independence of the insurgents, he was denounced by republican congressmen and papers asa “jingo,” a “scold” and other like epithets. We recall this fact now without any desire to comment. The developments of the Cuban situation show that Mr. DeArmond was right. His defamers now follow in his footsteps. Had his counsels prevailed, the Spanish affair would have been over before the commence ment of that “rainy season” which is apparently +o terrifying to Mc- Kialey’s timid soul —Henry County Democrat. What is there to arbitrate in the Maine affai? Our Naval Board has declared that our battleship and 266 of our seamen were destroyed by a submarine mine. Submarine mines are not owned or operated by private individuals. They are the property of and are under the exclusive con trol of Governments. When the Maine and her crew went down, Havana Harbor was owned by Spain. The logic is plain Spain owes rep- aration and indemnity for the Maine disaster, and n> governments but those of Spain and the United States have a right to interfere in the settlement of this sffair —Republic. The city election is now past and of course all matters submitted at that election are settled. But ina spirit of fairness we want to sug- gest that men can differ on matters of public policy without either party being influenced by mercenary mo- tives. It was not only a great in- justice, but an outrage that parties who favored buying the Academy grounds were charged with being in- terested in a pecuniary way. We believe the time has come when reason should be appealed to instead of pas- sions, and he who attempts to use the later method in influeccing voters should be rebuked. i) Montreal, March 31—For being refused admission to the Academy of Music because of his color, F. W. Johnson, g vezro, has eusd Sparrow & Jacobs, the lessees, for $500 dam ages. He holds that baviog pur- chased a ticket, he had a legal right to enter the Academy. Bryan and Stone. Joplin Daily G!obe—Chairman Sam Cook, of the Democrat state committee, sery truly says: “An effort is being made in some quar- ters to make it appear that Mr. Bryan and other leading Democrais ocratic organization and the forma tion of a new political party. Neither Mr. Bryan nor any represen tative Democrat favors apy such thing. What Bryan favors 1s exact- ly the policy recommended by Chairmin Jones, of the natioral! Democratic committee” The sta‘e chairman says the reported inter | view with ex Governor Stone, ia| which the distinguished Missourian is made to say that he is opposed to| “Mr. Bryan's plan of amalgamation,” | | was doctored t> suit the the enemies! of Democracy. Gov. Stone did not| speak of Mr. Bryan’s plans of amal-; iz |gamation for the excellent reason i that Mr Bryan bad ro plan of amal-| }gamation, but stands equarely witb | ; Chairman Jones, Gov.

Cass Ce, Democrat.—News wes received here Friday of the shooting and probably fatal wounding of Barney Dudley, by Jerry Hensley out in that region of the county known as Amarugia. The act is thought by a great many to be caused by jealousy over his wife's attentions to Dudley. The weapon used by Hensley wasa double barreled No. 10 shot gun and he fired both loads into Dudley, one taking effect in the breast and one inthe abdomen. Dr. George of Freeman, who was our inoformant said if Dudley lived until night on Friday, it would be a miracle. General Lee’s Cousin.

Dnel with Revolvers, Little Rock. Ark, April 3—A desperate revolver duel occurred at Haynes, Ark., Saturday night be- tween Dr. W. Scott, a prominent physician of that town, and John J. Hughes, a leading merchant. Scott entered Hughes’ store and opened fire upon him. The latter drew hie weapon and both combatants emp- tied their revolvers at each other at close range. When the shooting ceased both men were lying on the floor, Scott bleeding from four wourds and Hughes had been struck by five bullets.

Kidneys are the seat or the starting point of many maladies, all of them serious,’ all more or less painful, and all of them tending, unless cured, to & fatal end. No organs of the body are more delicate or more sensitive than the kidney When symp toms of disease “gh ar in them nob a moment is to be lost if health # to be restored. The best way @ treat the kidneys is through the blood, cleansing it from the poisom ous matter which is usually at the bottom of kidney complaints. For this purpose there is no remedy equal to Ayer’s Sarsuparin tried a number of cures without benefit.
