The Democrat, English: Not a
member of the brave old Forty
ninth Regiment will learn OF the
death of Col. Geo. w. Riddle with
out prang of sorrow. He was one
OF their bravest and most daring
leaders and loved by all men. AS
Colonel of the One hundred and
forty-fourth regiment, after his SER
vice in the torty-ninth, he was as
popular as when with his former
regiment. His deeds of daring
were many, but in no battle did
he ever forget his brave followers.
He has been in very poor health
for months, yet his sudden death
on the I'd inst. while sitting in his
yard on his farm seven miles south
OF English, was surprise.
He was the highest ranking ex-
soldier in the county. The inter-
ment took place with the honors Of
the G. A. X. at the family burying
ground on the 3D.. He leaves a
large and respected family.

Prom "A Recent Address of EA Governor y.
y. 81 John.
Over the counters of those 24O,-
79G Democratic and Republican IL
quor houses was expended III 1871
the sum of ~ BOZ 900, 900.
Did you ever think of what that
means?
Let rs put this enormous waste
over the liquor counters into silver
dollars. each one having Inscribed
upon it "In God we trust. Load
p 900 pounds into wagon here and
start it westward, and when it has
gone 100 feet load up another wag-
on with 1000 pounds and keep the
procession moving, each wagon oc-
|cupying a hundred feet, and when
we have loaded the last 1000
pounds Of these silver dollars spent
over the liquor counters OF this ma
ton in 1891 we will have process
sion 500 miles long.
Imagine the Democrats on one
side of the highway and the Repub-
licans on the other, and the pro-
cession exemplifying Democratic
and Republican, statesmanshlp, pas
sing by wagon load after wagon load
of "In God we trust "
All wasted over the liquor coun-
tiers in a single year.
What legacy to leave to an en-
|lightened aud civilized people
And vet in the face OF this out
rageous system these two oldparties
have the cheek to ask Christian
man for his ballot.
This expenditure over the the IL
quor counters would more than pay
of the national debt in a single
year.
1t is equal to the assessed valu-
alton of all the taxable wealth of
five states like Kansas.
1t would build ,jO1 900 COM
Portable homes for the many home
less families.
What would that mean?
More axes Tor our men to 90 out
in the timber and cut down the
trees. more crosscut saws, more men
To handle them and saw these trees
up into saw logs, more oxen, more
log wagons, more log chains, more
OK drivers, more OK whips to haul
these logs to mill, and more saw
mills and more men to run them,
more teamsters to haul this lumber
lfter it is cut up for building pur-
poses, more railways to carry it IN
to the different sections OF the coun
try, more carpenters and more brick
and stone-masons, more lathmak-
ers, more shingie makers, more pa
per hangers.
This one evil blottcd out and the
money passed over its counters
turned into legitimate channels
would set the hammer and saw going
in every town and hamlet in this
land, thus doing more than any
other one thing to settle the .abor
question.
To-day we find two men hunting
one Job. That is what makes wages
low.
Blot out the liquor traffic, and
there will be two Jobs hunting for
one man, and that is what makes
wages high.
Citizens, if business that sends
broadcast misery, poverty, crime
and heartache, and corrupts the peo-
pie, destroys 1000 lives annually
and wastes 81 l,5O7 5000 every
year is "side issue, please tell
me what the main issue is?
If | was a member Of a party that
had for a generation perpetuated
such a trade and | could not tell Of

from that business. and that party
would not put forth every effort in

AN Injustice.

Some of the farmers living in this
vicinity are buying their groceries
at Fort Scott and other points be-
cause they are sufferers by reason
of the collapse of the Baxter bank.
This is wrong. The merchants OF
Baxter were in no wise responsible
for the loss of the farmers money
through the medium of the bank
and should not be made to suffer
for the sins of somebody else. If
the Baxter bank had been an insti.
tuition in which the merchants OF
Baxter were personally interested
and the farmers had lost their
morey for the benefit of the mer-
chants il would be different mat
ter altogether, aud we would not
blame them If they took some such
measures to get even. But the
merchants of Baxter Springs had
nothing to do with the failure OF
the bank. The bank tuinbled sim.
ply because its legs were weak and
the farmers should remember this.
Baxter merchants sell goods just
as cheap as do the merchants OF
Fort Scott or other towns, aud Bax-
ter merchants are entitled to the
patronage of the people of this
vicinity.

portant matter. A quarter of mil
lion dollars invested here in the
handling of live stock would he q

try and there is no reason on earth
why Baxter shouldn't be an impor
tant live stock center. 1t used to be

The Modern Light says there are
thirty.iive cases of diphtheria in
Baxter. This il n lie of extensive

The Galena Post says two fami'

The facts in the case are that two
young people in the west part OF
town were supposed TO have diph'
theria and the schools and college
were closed in consequence. The
sick persons were quarantined and
it has developed that they haven't

cient guarantee of its solidity. The

do business in a safe, cautious, con.
servative way.
If il il deemed advisable to

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.

\ most peculiar and almost fatal
accident occurred at the residence
of C. NJ. Clark west of this city last
Friday evening whereby Miss Anna
Anderson came near losing her life.
1t was at the close of party and
Miss Anderson had just stepped
into cart and was still standing
when a couple of careless fellows
came dashing along with another
vehicle the wheels of which struck
aud overturned the cart, throwing
Miss Anderson to the ground. Her
head struck something very hard
aud n blood vessel on or near the
brain was rup'ured and she did not
regain consciousness for n long
time. She yet has periods of un-
consciousness, but is reported some
, better and will probably recover,
though il may take some time.
Miss Anderson is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. 6. L. Anderson aud has
been making her home with Mrs
I. c, Painter for year or two.
