SELF CONSTITUTED GUARDIAN.

IL the time should ever come that
the merchants OF Butler needed 9
guardian, We imagine they would
want a voice in the choosing. A
self constituted functiohsry OF that
kind is open to the suspicion that be
il imbued by selfish motives rather
that the public good. 1t requires q
good deal OF NERVE, possibly gall
would be the more appropriate term,
for a man who bas-been a resident OF
the city less than two years to ques-
ton the intelligence and Judgment Of
nearly every merchant of the city in
a small business transaction, which
in no way concerns that individual,
For the information OF the business
men, who contracted for ADVERTISE &
in the Rural Routes Directory. We De
sire to state that The TINES has
agreed to carry out the contract
made by the party who solicited the
advertising, and We believe the bust,
ness men have confidence in our in
tegrity to be satisfied that it will be
faithfully performed, and the books
when printed will be placed in the
hands OF only those agreed upon by
the parties to the contract. This
without apologies to Mr. Funk, who
seems 10 be laboring under an over
dose Of "sour grapes, and Wa opine
it would have been an excellent
scheme il he had secured thecontract.

A FAITHFUL OFFICIAL.

The following neat compliment to
Secretary OF State Sam B Cook is
taken from the Sedalia Democrat:
Among the many faithful officials
who have served the people OF Mis-
souri, not one has discharged his of.
fetal duties more faithfully, Impair
TALLY or intelligently than Sam B
Cook, the present efficient secretary
Of state. Among the latest tributes
to Mr. Cooks official record is the
following from the Southwestern
Banker, published at Kansas Iity
and devoted to the banking interests
Of Missouri. The Bahkersays: Mr..
Cooks administration OF the depart
ment OF state has been signally sue
cessiul. He is broad-minded, liberal
and progressive. His relations with
the banking interests OF the state
since his incunbency have been OF
such a character as to inspire the
fullest confidence In his ability to
handle the complicated questions
that frequently confront the depart
ment. His graep OF the affairs Of
state and OF financial matters is
thorough and complete.

1t it to be regretted that General
Crow has signi6ed desire to retire
from political LIE, for since his cleo
ton to the office OF attorney general
he has made himself useful to hispar'

The inclination OF General Crow to

cases before the Supreme Court. Gen,

the worst had come. 1t proved,
however, to be only a nervous affec.

else would do him good. He hat
been in the State OF California for thu
