Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1889-09-26
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER

was nothing in the Office for a man
who did only his plain duty as county
surveyor. For the last two years there
has been little work in his Office. Mr..
Markey has advised any and all farm
ers who came to him and wanted small
jobs of surveying done that they would
be incurring needless expense in hay
ing such work done until their en- tire
township was surveyed for once and
all, and has thus saved many hundreds
of dollars to his fellow farmers. He
has proven himself perfectly competent
as a civil engineer and worthy the con-
fidence and respect of the people. He
has never had any connection with
either of the two former county survey
ors whose bitter rivalry is so well
known, and what he does is done
right as near as can be. He is deserv-
ing reelection.
COUNTY CORONER.
DR.. j. r. McIlvaine, the present
mayor of the thriving town of Hoising-
ton, is the democratic nominee for
coroner. He has been resident of
Barton county for year or more past:
is an excellent physician and in every
way able to justly fill the Office to which
/ his friends nominated him. He is a
man who inspires confidence and
respect whenever he is met, and will
get almost the unanimous vote of the
neighborhOod where he is best known
the best of all recommendations to the
general public. He is graduate of a
well known medical college, and has,
in the short time he has been at Hois-
ington, gained very large practice as
physician and surgeon of skill and
integrity.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
The nominee for commissioner of
the third district, Mr.. c. Coughlin, has
been long resident of Eureka town
ship, and is one of the best and most
successful farmers in this county
Careful in all matters of business, his
judgement can be at all times relied
upon. He has been in the Iowa state
legislature and is familiar with laws
and lawmaking, and there could not
have been found a better man, in all
respects, to place upon the board OF
county commissioners to succeed Mr..
Henry Schwier. We understand Mr..
Coughlin, though not a German, speaks
that language, which is another good
point in favor of the many German
farmers of Barton county and especially
his district. Our acquaintance with
MIR. Coughlin is slight, but we learn
nothing but praise of him and conf
dence in his ability and integrity.
Thus, in our feeble way, we have
attempted to tell the readers of the
DEMOCRAT what most all of you al
ready know, that the democratic
candidates are all that they seem and
worthy of your votes and hearty sup
port. Study the claims Of the gentle
men of all parties who are asking your
| votes and then vote for the men who
will serve the people best, the above
mentioned gentlemen.

Matrimonial Felicity,

Two Connecticut brides, both OF them
still in their teens, came down on the
cars to New York and took advantage
of their occupation of same seat to
exchange condolences. Mary, said one,
show do you like married life?" $50
far as i have gOne," answered her
companion, quite enthusiastically, Il
think it scrumptious. How do you
feel about it. Anna?" Anna rolled
her eyes like schoolgirl with mouth
full of caramels and clasping her hands
on Mary's knees, exclaimed: "YOu
won't think me foolish if l tell you?
Well, then, if had known what fun it
was l would have got married years

1T is generally conceded that the tar
iii will be the main issue in '92 between
the great political parties. If this is
the case, why not enter upon the dis
cussion at once? AN argument in favor
of tariff reform seems to act upon re-
publican editors like red flag upon a
bull. We invite argument or abuse
we don't care which-o1ily let's keep

THE OLD HORDE COMING.

Six months Of the Harrison admin
istratiOn have done something more
than create deficit in the treasury
account. The Louisville Courier
Journal has made list of sample
federal appointees which throws light
on the material which is being paid off
for work done last year.
Robert Smalls, collector of customs
at Beaufort, S. c., was convicted by a
jury composed partly of men of his own
race of accepting bribes and sentenced
to two years in the penitentiary.
Francis E. Warren, appointed COVER
nor, made false affidavit of residence
in order to take up a quarter section of
valuable land. A North Carolina ne
gro, appointed postmaster by Mr.. Wan
amaker, was found in the penitentiary
when the notification of his appoint
ment reached him. Thomas J. Morgan.
Indian commissioner, was convicted by
a court martial of making false musters
and other offence. S. G. Burdette,
assistant district attorney in West Vir-
ginia, is under indictment for embez-
Element. E. II. Moore, distributing
clerk in the Indianapolis postoffice, was
arrested and fined for keeping a gam
bling house. "A. S. Ray, deputy United
States marshal in West Virginia, was
prosecuted for bribery. Henry E.
Sharpe, postmaster at Lead Hill, Ark,
was convicted of sending obscene let
tiers through the mails. Gilbert H.
Stevens, postmaster of Shushan, n. Y,
was prosecuted for feloniously enter
ing a house for the purpose of assaulting
young lady. He confessed and paid
the lady $500 by which means he
succeeded in having the prosecution
abandoned, he also signing a full con-
fession.''
Other cases of similar nature are
cited, but The Times will stop with
- these. They are sufficiently distributed
over the states to expose the views of
the present administration on civil
service reform. No one state supplies
all. There is no chance about the
cases, The appointees are friends of
prominent republicans and were
selected with knowledge of their
records.
The republican party never have
cared much about personal fitness.
When it wins. the result is not due to the
candid approval of public opinion but to
the dirty work of it's henchmen added to
the money of the privileged classes
The rewards of Office are given to
agents of the lobbying classes like
Wanamaker and the workers like those
mentioned in the Courier Journals list.
Penitentiary birds in office, the
pennsylvania lobby all powerful, the
treasury surplus scattered and the
people paying taxes. That is what six
months of republican power has made
of the country's government
The Madison Wells, Eliza Pinkston
and Belknap era is on the way
Whether Mr.. Harrison is a good OF
bad man personally does not retard its
coming. The horde of republican
politicians, adopts in trading privileges
for money and in cooking jobs On the
treasury. can not be suppressed.
Custom house frauds and whisky frauds
will pretty surely be duplicated before
lOng.--K. C.. Times.

Half dozen threshing machines

Real and Bogus EPSON Salts.

Fpsom salts is the name given IN
pharmacy to the hydrated sulphate Of
magnesia, which was obtained over two
hundred years ago by evaporating the
waters of some mineral springs at Epson,
England. sea water was afterward
found to contain it, the brine remaining
after the separation of the common salt,
consisting of the sulphate Of u,agnesia
and the chlorides OF magnesium ard
calcium. 1t was readily obtained by
collecting the first crystals which formed
and washing them with strong solution
of the same salt. An excellent quality
is manufactured at Baltimore and in this
CITY from the mineral magnesite. q sill
cious hydrate Of magnesia, which -
found Ia the serpentine of this region.
The mineral, reduced to powder, is dis
solved IT sui phuric acid. The product
after drying, is calcined iu order to de-.
compose the sulphate Of iron. It is then
dissolved in water, and any iron present
is precipitated by sulphuret of lime.

A Green Mountain Patti.

Miss Marie Howe, the Vermont girl
who went from Brattlehoro, VT, to Ber-
lin, and took the town by storm, las just
been heard of in Paris. She is new
member of the colony of clever Ameri-
can women who will keep the French
capital gossiping the coming year. With
Sybil Sanderson and Blanche Roosevelt,
she completes a notable trio, though
Miss Howe is distinctly unlike either one
of her American sisters. 1t was of her
that Director Engel of the Berlin Opera
House, said:
Sat nineteen years of age she shows
more signs of being second Patti than
any woman in the world"
A little information about her expe-
rience abroad has come to u writer for
the Sun through letter from Brattle-
boro, VT. and permission has been given
to make it public. Miss Howe's devoted
admirer, pIeceptor, and manager is her
brother Lucien. When he took his sister
to Berlin to study it was hard work to
geteven enough money for the trip over,
and once there the Lrother taug hit music
and worked in every possible way to Sc
cure his sisters advancement. After her
tremendous success in Berlin, the Howes
returned at once to Vermont. Tho girl
lived quietly in her country home for O
month, aud then the brother took her on
aconcert tour. He gave eight concerts,
