Our Falstafiian friend, II. S.

Saratoga has lost another business enterprise in the removal of Burner's drug store. Every little while another of her few remaining buildings is moved to Pratt, till now "The moping owl doth to the moon complain Of such, as wandering near her bower, Disturb her ancient, solitary reign." The proposition to vote bonds for the salt-boring enterprise failed at the late election, not because there was any opposition to speak of, however. Nearly all the votes cast were for it, but as it requires a majority of all the votes whether cast or not it failed to carry.

A petition for another election has been circulated. The W. W. Society will give an oyster supper on Friday evening, at the Christian church. Oysters 25 cents.

The following good words for some of the candidates for commissioner, in cluding two Union Labor nominees, are from the Times. Coming from a paper politically opposed to them, it could not have been prompted by self-interest, and is more valuable than anything we could have written: "The county is to be congratulated that so many good men have been presented by the several parties for commissioner. Beginning with our own nominees, William Daily and I.

Maxadon, there is I. A. McCul lough and Ike Ray, whom the writer knows to be first-class men." Those are the kind of men that we want for commissioners first class, honest men, who are not for sale for gold watches and things. SOCIAL AND PERSONAL. Mrs.

POLITICAL. Morris L.

Wheat to-night. He is Wheat without chaff. Col. J. M.

Bowman addressed the Republican club last Friday night. The entire press of Pratt county has not been subsidized, thank God! G. W. Crow is making a red hot canvass of the county instilling'Union Labor principles into the minds of the people. The Republican has a very sugges tive headline: Centers' Big Sale." Did it take place the day of the Republican county convention? Rev.

J. D. Botkin delivered a tell ing and eloquent speech at the Harrel Hall (old rink) on Tuesday afternoon. It was a clear and logical presenta tion of the cause of Prohibition. The Simpson strikers are getting frightened, and are trying all sorts of schemes to bring the disaffected into line.

They have cursed, threatened and cajoled, but all to no purpose. Their subserviency is sickening. At a meeting of the Democratic central committee held last Saturday B. D. Crawford was made permanent chairman and Max Lamont permanent secretary.

C. F. Beach tendered his resignation as candidate for probate judge, and G. W. MeDaniels was placed on the ticket in his stead.

Col. Bowman has the affidavits of twenty-eight delegates that they voted for him in the convention, and four more are promised. As 28 is two more than were counted for him, what became of the other two? When he gets the other four it will show a tie and also that he was counted out. Morris L. Wheat, of Iowa, will explain the objects and aims of the association of wealth producers known as the Knights of Labor, at Harrel's Hall in this city, on Friday evening, at 8 o'clock.

Every farmer, merchant, manufacturer, mechanic and laborer should turn out to hear him. The Plain Dealer Streetsweeper overheard a Simpson striker remark one day this week that if Kelly was bound to kill his paper he (the striker) could not help it. He hadn't foresight enough to see that Kelly has taken the only course open to a man who believes in honest politics, and that in the end it will bring his paper to the front and result in ultimate prosperity. When the chairman of the- Republican banditti (yclept a convention) announced the result of the purchased and stolen ballots that nominated Simpson, J. M.

Harrel moved that the nomination be made unanimous. There was a very faint sound of scattered "ayes" and a perfect storm of "noes." And yet Mr. Simpson has the cheek to call himself the nominee of the convention! Kingman Voice of the People: "Pratt county has nominated a full county ticket. The Plain Dealer speaks of the nominees as men well known in the county, who are honest to the core, will not buy and cannot be bought. That is a grander recommendation for any candidate than all the panegyrics and eulogies commonly heaped upon the g.

o. p. candidates by their subsidized truckling newspapers. The U. L.

party is gaining a national reputation for nominating 'men who are honest to the core, will not buy and cannot be bought." Judge Kelly had the manliness and independence to denounce the boodler gang, for which he has been roundly denounced by those who "crook the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning." His following, however, has largely increased, and he is seconded by both the Register and Plain Dealer. When the Judge tackled the subject it was an unpopular thing to do. because there were so many fingers in the pie.

The private banks of New York City and other large cities of the east eon-tain in the neighborhood of sixty million of dollars belonging to the government which they loan out for the us ual interest to the government. Is it any wonder that these bankers make money with such a chance. But instead of redeeming bonds and paying other honest debts due, and so get the money out among the people, the Democratic officials hord up the money in order to raise the cry of a large surplus and induce the people to adopt the old and slaveholding: idea of free-trade. Mr. Cleveland recently vetoed a pension for the mother of a soldier, who, after suffering in rebel prisons, was blown to death on the Sultana, on the ground that the 2d Illinois Cavalry to which the soldier belonged was mustered out the day before the Sul tana exploded; but he forgot that the soldier was not mustered out with his rejrinient.

Another veto was that of the widow of a soldier who died from the effects of a dose of morphine taken to allay the pains caused by his wounds. For this watchful care of the National treasury the gentleman who allowed his substitute to die in the poor house gets $134 a day.
