saying use have we for an tion society now may well look to her Our people are terribly In earnest The next census will I like to see a fearless and outspoken Yes sir and If it should happen in the coarse of events you subject of its ami you would be one of the noisiest in ing Its blackguard propensities aud charging malicious against editor You are like a treat many men who enjoy seeing their but squirm terribly when is applied fo themselves It Time to The City Election will soon here and it behooves the Democracy to de at once whether they wil bring out a party ticket or with the better men of the lican party and form an Union ticket This question belongs to the party and we have no disposition to dictate any particular course as we neither claim the desire nor the right bat the question should be definitely settled very as we have no time to If the will of the party which is law cannot be ascertained m any other way the Committee should call the party expres sion on the subject If 1 majority decide in favor of a straight ticket a Convention should be called and a ticket of our very best men should be selected We dare not ignore the fact that it will require onr very best men to pull the city through year and should we decide to run a party ticket must nute men because they are well ified and not because they want the offices We still tbe opinion that a mixed ticket made up of the best men of both parties would best sub- the interests of the city still it is beit for the Democracy to mine the question to rait themselves which will suit us If our can decline tin Union ticket we csin only bring out a Democratic one and flax them out they run a Republican ticket We call the attention of the Central Committee to this subject and hope some definite tion may be taken Religious Union services will be held this I evening in tbe Old School rian Church Sermon by the J E Wheeler The public are re- ami invited The services Smith's Kali night were very

H o'clock The congregation though not large was respectable and of the audience was respectful aud Tlie text Kara Up The Sedalia Opinion a paper that makes spasmodic forts to maintain a sickly ence made its appearance on Friday or Saturday last aud it tried be offensive to some of our well known highly respected citizens But of the gentlemen attempted to be assailed cared enough about it to take auy notice of the puerile trash and we really think he erred as team there were out tivo copies of the thing published otte of which the editor kept and the other one by some unaccountable state of circum- got into circulation We think if the editor had not been ed to account for the attempted slura mark we aay attempted as he caa slur DO toot more than a half dozen certainly not more than persons would have known anything about the Opinion's We say to the editor of that that those he names or any other member ol tlie Democratic party wilf not be dishonored by anything he may minate against them or So far a-s the reward business 13 concerned we offered it in jest be- cause we could no member of our parly who seemed willing to cept the office of Mayor It the party should take Mr advice and issues Upon us we should not i not doubt the we prefer Union ticket I am not ashamed of Gospel of etc The new minister made i very favorable impression He is an earnest logical speaker eHw analytical and fair pulpit orator Wo think he will prove en- tirely to his people General Apathy There H no need to disguise th fact that our too apathetic in rogard to the approaching city tiou We net as though we huve no interest id the future of Sedalia City Central Committee We believe the Democratic tal Committee of this city is com- of Messrs G W C Chancy E W Bixby Judge Hill and Gen B Van This stir recollection but the named above w ill know We them of their relation o the Democratic party to the cud that they may he prepared to act in reference lo our city election should party action become necessary We hope they will confer together at their earliest convenience cide what hall be pursued in the ensuing election or call the De- together to make a decision as we have no time to lose REMEMBER THAT A SPECIAL REGISTRATION MTU HELD AT THE COUNCIL ROOMS ON THE AND Oar Public Prof has completed bis visits to the public schools of this He informs us that they are generally in excellent condition wed attended and well taught The teachers as a rule are well qualified for the responsible trust committed to them The Professor thinks that the Directors of the various districts realize the importance of employing none but qualified teachers and that they have almost invariably been rery wise in their selections We are really gratified to hear such a favorable report from one so tent to judge The Common School system is a blessing or a humbug a curse if you please just as the ere make It If they are competent men and women alive to the great interests committed to their hands no man caa place a limit upon their Usefulness but if they teach school merely for pecuniary gain without qualifications or a conscious they will serve as so many clogs to the real progress of our pils Much credit is due to our efficient County Superintendent Mr lake for the thorough organization and efficiency of the schools and we are glad to record the fact that the entire corps of teachers have ably seconded his efforts to place our schools upon a higher plane of credit and usefulness We shall resume this subject soon when we hope to be able to give some general which will be inter- esting to parents teachers and pupils Thanks We express our obligations to the St Louis Times Company invitation to be present at the of their new Printing House on Thursday next Should we not be there certainly wish all a pleasant time and the Times that it so richly merits THE Ft Scott Ladles Try a New Plan One of tbe most amusing events which baa occurred far to tion with the woman's crusade against liquor sellers transpired in the neighboring city of Fort Scoti last Friday night The tactics of f he Fort Scott ladies were original aud resulted in the temporal benefit ol tbe little
