Z. G. & RICH HILL ROAD.

While the Records comments on
the proposed K. c. & Rich Hill rail
road may prove true, they appear
to us to be very injudicious to say
the least, just at this time, when
every appearance points to the
building Of this road This may be
similar to some Of the defunct
schemes of the past, still if there is q
possibility Of its being a success it
shows very short sightedness in the
people of Butler to antagonlze it,
If such a road is built it is only q
question Of time when it will be
swallowed up by some trunk line
seeking an outlet through this coun-
try to Kansas City, possibly the
Santa Fe or Chicago q Alton going
to the Southwest. But granting for
the sake Of argument, that this is
the ultimate extension of the road,
from Rich Hill to Kansas City, even
then it would demonstrate lack of
enterprise to the outside world for
Butler to let any kind of railroad
run around her within three or four
miles. As suggested by Mr.. Blair
to TINES reporter, town the size
of Butler could expect and would
receive many more favors and de
rive much more benefit from a short
railroad that depended on the local
trade for support than trunk line
that ran directly through, and all
the attention that they would give
us would be to take on and put off
freight and passengers.
If the road is built Butler cannot
afford to have it run around her, no
more can the road afford to ignore the
advantages of coming to town the
size of Butler, the county seat of
one of the largest and wealthiest
counties in the state There is and
can be no just fight between the
citizens of Butler and the projectors
of this road, unless it could be kept
alive by just such talk as that en-
gagged in the Record. Instead of
pouring cold water on those projects
let us put our shoulder to the wheel
when we are sure to accomplish 4
great deal

THE X. c. 4 Il. II.
Tie poject Reported Busted. and Some
of Cur Citizens Very Unhappy
What Will Butler Say?
L. F. PAGE, Secretary.

\ very depressing rumor found its
way to this city from Adrian last
evening. and some of our East End
citizens have been quite despondent
all day to-day in consequence. It is
to the effect that the Kansas City &
Rich Hill Railroad project has fallen
through; that president Wilson, the
main-stay of this enterprise, had not
the money necessary to build the
road and was unable to secure it
that in short, the whole affair was
like the Harris project and had ut
terly tiattened out. Now this is GER
tainly decidedly discouraging news,
to arrive during such gloomy wealth
or as we are having at present, but
we do not give it the slightest Gre
dence, and advise our friends in the
East End and in all other quarters
of the city, not to place too much
stress upon such report at the
present time, as only day or two
ago we had the best of assurance
from a person directly connected
with this enterprise, who stands
high up on the inside, that the dirt
| would be flying in few weeks at the
farthest; the grading contracts had
| all been let but about ten miles; the
contract for the two iron bridges
awarded and work was now progres-
sing on them. and everything else
was in the best of shape. That the
road when completed will be a pay
lEg one, no one doubts in the Least,
and that it will be built according to
agreement we have not now the
slightest doubt. no matter what ON,
fears upon the question have been IL

One of the most heart-rending and
pathetic stories in the annals of
crime comes from New York, in
which mother deliberately poisons
her three little boys, aged respective
ly 8, 7 and 1 years, and then
quietly waiting and witnessing their
intense suffering for two days. Mrs.
Lebkuchner, a widow, found it i'm
possible to support her children
and rather than be separated from
them deliberately planned their
destruction. She gave one of the
little fellows the last quarter she
had and sent him to buy rough on
rats, then mixing it in tea and divid-
ing into three equal parts gave it to
the children. When in their agony
they would call for water to quench
their burning thirst she would give
them whisky, making their suffering
ten times more terrible. She does
not express any remorse over her act
but expresses desire to be hung.

JAS. N. Tate, after having served
the people of Kentucky for twenty
one years as state treasurer, is de-
faulter in large sum, that will prob
ably reach 100000. No one who
has ever known "honost Dick Tate"
as he was commonly called, will ever
believe that he deliberately stole the
money. He was genial, whole
souled man, and friend never call
ed ON him for a favor and was turn
ed away empty-handed. He trusted
implicitly in human nature and is
now looked upon with distrust by
these very men that caused his
downfall. In the eyes of the law his
crime is as great as if he had deib-
erately planned to steal from and
rob the state treasury, but those
friends who know him as he really
was all these years. man who could
not say no, should draw the mantle
of charity over this act. Poor Dick
Tate, his heart was too big for this
age.

The republican papers throughout
the country are very indignant at
Gen. Adam Badeau, for bringing
suit against Gen. Grants widow for
services rendered in assisting the gen
eral in writing his memoirs. If Gen.
Adam Badaeu did the work as he al.
leges he did, he ought to be paid fol
it. Anyhow, it is private matter
between himself and Mrs. Grant,
and so far as we can see it is not a
national affair. and Mrs. Grant should
pay her honest debts as well as 9th

old friend and schoolmate of the
editor of the TINES, has been noml-
mated on the democratic ticket for
city attorney of Kansas City. Hen
ry Julian is a worthy young gentle
man, highly educated, a deep think

he will be elected, and are sure the
people of Kansas City will never
have cause to regret it.

President Cleveland has not de-
clared himself III favor of free trade
and all attempts of the machine re-
publicans to make him out free
trader will prove abortive and only
make them ridiculous. They proph-
esied that the industries and COM
merce of the country would be par
alyzed if Cleveland was elected. He
was elected, and everything has gone
on smoothly and satisfactorily, and
he has shown himself to be a wise
statesman, devoted to the interests
of the people, and fearless chief

TRUE WORDS WE'LL SPOKEN.

The announcement of the Hon. ID.
4. DeArmond as a candidate for su-
preme Judge Of this state, subject
to the nomination OF the Democratic
party, has been most fayorablv re-
ceived throughout the state. He is
a sound democrat, pure and incoI-
ruptible Judge. His experience both
on the supreme bench. where he
served as one of the commissioners.
and on the bench of the circuit court,
point to him as being pre-eminently
qualified, fitted and acceptable for
this most responsible place.
Of all the places to be filed the
position of the supreme judge
should be the most carefully made.
Here the questions that affect the
rights and interests of the people
are to be finally determined. An
honest heart, an able and we'll bal
anced intellect, legal ability, unbias-
ed by fear. favor or affection, are all
necessary in the discharge of the
high duties of this Office.
All who are acquainted with Judge
DeArmond are satisfied beyond
doubt that he possesses all these.
Besides he is in the vigor Of life. and
able to withstand the heavy strain
these arduous duties impose.
His nomination and election will
add member to the supreme court
that will never dim its fame, but will
add to it an additional luster.
He will not only adorn the posi-
tion, but will reflect credit alike up
on the people of the state, and the
democratic party whose principles
he has SO long and faithfully defend
