When the industries of the coun
tty prosper coal is in demand and
miners get their lull share of the
general prosperity. When the
mills and factories close or work on
short time for lack of orders, rail
way traffic falls oil and the mining
industry suffers. Miners are as much
interested in maintaining the Re
publican policy of protection as any
other clan of workingmen.
Tom Watson acknowledges that
the condition of American working
men is now vastly improved, and
that in their liomes they enjoy con
veuience of life which a king could
not command some bundled years
ago. If the Democracy had its
Way we would reverse the wheel
of piogient so that the woikiugtucn
might enjoy the privations of life
that were the common lot in the
grand old days of Jtffei soman scai-
city of bathtubs.

Organization does much to
inaintaiu the wages of labor, tut
organization of wage-earners does
not provide consumers. Con
sumption of coal is always great
est when mills and factories are
running full time. It is the policy
of the Republican party to protect
all industiies by wise and tenth
cient laws, while it lias been the
policy of the democratic party, us
evidenced by the last Cleveland
administration, to provide as much
work as possible for the artisans
of c;tkr countries by removing the
tatiif alh;ids the Auicticafl work-jngiiirij.

comfott out of Judge Parker's letter
of acceptance, they nic welcome to
it. Ti c gist of it nil i that the He
publicai:s have done thing about

A ninn who it weak enough to
put his c.-indidny in their (Hilt'i
and Uellmont's) hands before the
convention would not te strong
enough to resist their inllucnce after
election, if lie wcic ty nny possibil
ity successful. William J. Bryan.
Mr. Paiker says Mr. Cleveland'!
presidential administration was a
creditable and remarkable one.
He's riht about that. Everything
was done on credit and the people
have never gottco over remarking
abcut it. It was both creditable
and remarkable.
When wo incrcasa our popula
tion we increase our national rev
enues in proportion. Unless we
reduce the rate of taxation we
would double our national reve
nues if we doubled our population.
As President Roosevelt said in his
message: "The western half of
the United States would sustain
population greater than that of
our whole country today, if the
waters that now run to waste were
saved ani used for irrigation."
In relation to pensions, Judge
Parker in his letter of acceptance
says, 'Few men are able to per
form manual labor at that age (75),
but nearly all men are at 61." And
farther on he says. "If elected I
will revoke that order." Meaning
order 7S, fixing the age at Cz. 65,
CS and 70, but does not say what
age lie would recommend to Con
gress to fix. From the language
above quoted we know it would be
beyond 62, and may be at 75. The
Democratic party has never been
favorable to civil war pensions and
never will be. It's a little con
trary to human nature to take a
whipping and then have to pay for
it, too.

There arc a large number of Bry

and their present attitude is viewed
with alarm by the Hill-Belmont-Shcehau
organization. It is said
every follower of W. J. Bryan will
vote the Populist national ticket.
The Populists have put a state tick
et in the field, the tirst in many
years, and a Bryan Democrat has
been placed nt Its head. The Par
kcrites are chaigit.g Bryan with bad
faith, asserting that the defection of
the Brysti Democrats will cost Par

"For a free people can not with

"We have known no party in

Mr. Hunt.
Mr. C. G. Hunt went to bed
Monday night a plain, common ev-ery-day
farmer, to wake up Tues
day morning famous. His name in
all the papers and associated along
with such famous Demociatic citi
zens as Sheriff Joe Smith, Attorney
Francisco, Judge W, W. Graves
and Hon. Jos. W. Folk Democratic
candidate fot governor of the great
state ot Missouri. "How we ap
ples do swim."
Mr. Hunt favored Rich Hill with
his presence Tuesday, the very tirst
day after he became famous as the
associate of prominent attorneys
and high oliicials. and now Butler
is green with envy and wants to re
pudiate the whole scheme that
promised to much.
We don't pretend to see through
the scheme, but one thing we ee
clearly, Mr. Hunt has gotten
splendid certificate of chatacter in
open court, if the newspaper ie
ports ate correct, and upon this he
can safely go before the Democracy
two years hence and demand a nom
ination for office.
Oil ami Uas Found.
W. W. Jarmin and Juhn T.
Bennett, of Stotesbury, were here
Saturday, and both men were
highly pleased with the develop
ments the past week for oil and
gas in that town, both having been
found in paying quantities, sothcy
say. The Missouri Oil and De
velopment Company is doing the
prospecting and is now tiuking a
third hole.
The first well sunk is about 160
feet dsep and it is thought will
produce ten barrels of oil a day.
The second bo'e is only about 137
feet deep and both oil and gas
were found i.i it.
Wcrk it now progressing ,n a
third well, and number of othcit
will be put down and a pumping
station ettablisccd.
There is considerable excite
ment in the northwest Vernon
town over the prospects (or oil and
gas, and many outsiders ate bun,;
attracted there to investigate the
find.
The g is strong enough; it it
said, to blaze up eight feet from a
three quarter inch pipe and it can
be heard roaring for distance of
fifty or sixty yards. Nevada Her

The ca-,0 against Charles Kratz,
the alleged boodler of St. Louis,
was called :n the circuit court in
Butler this (Monday) afternoon. On
the testimony of Dr. Broome, the
; " ; - v ! ..i Ki a'., t! at the defend
ant was unable to appear on ac
count of appendicitis, the trial was
continued until December it.
A sensation was sprung when
Charlesti. Hunt, one of the jury,
testified that bribery had been at
tempted among the jurymen by an
attorney for Krniz and Joe Smith,
shv'ofl of Bate county. He made
a long and detailed statement of all
the convention he had had with
tefercne to sit'.mg on the Krttx
jurv and made affidavit to same. He
savs he was approached by Sheriff
Smith, who said to him: 'How
won't) you like to be on the Kratx
jury? I say to you n brothet(dont
mention this to anybody) there is
going to be some money used dur
ing this case. I know they are
going to use it, and as long as it is
going to be used I would like to
see my friends get the btnetlt
of it."
Hunt testified there was no more
said that day, but when he wet
again in town he was met by Joha
Francisco, an attorney for Kratz,
and called into his office, where
Francisco said: "I presume you
understand we want to beat this
case. The sheriff wants to see it
beaten. Now, of course, this is be
tween you and me. I don't want
it mentioned to anvbody, but there
1 going to be a little money spent
anil we are going to have enough
to bang that jury, if not enough to
clear tlie cac. The evidence will
be sichfrom tlie man that hat
turned state's evidence to save him
self that a peon intght easily de
cide on a verdict of not guilty with
out intetfeiuig wish the feelings of
his conscience at all. There will
be mi big bills or checks pasted lor

heie its cac you are scratched o!f.
If you aie not scratched off, but re
main on the juiy. and Jo as agreed,
to not receive less than J:o. It
it a go?"
Hunt said it was. "You have
not been kuminoued," added Fran
cisco, according to Hunt's story,
"and I don't think it out ot the way
in talking lo you befoie you ate
summoned."
Hunt said be did not sec any
more ot Smith that day.
Later he w as told : "I am going;
to St. Louis iiext week or the week
alter, ntid reiything will be tixed
if you are nut here any more befoie
the nia!."
Oil cios-.pittumiiig, Hunt said
no suni'nuns had been fotmally
seivcd and all he received was in
the couveiatioti with the xheiilf,
when he was told l.e could consider
himself summoned,

said be lived in the countiy several
miles south of Butler. lie said he
had not received any money, and
