JUDGE BLACKS "OBSER VA
TvDNN"

The mastery production of attorney
Gen. Black touching upon the so called
popular sovereignty question, meets with
almost universal favor from the Demo-
cratic press.
We do not know of a single instance
on record, where a question dividing the
public mind as has this, that has been so
successfully met and the advocates of
which have been so completely routed at
a single blow.
In 1916, the hcresy of "free soil" be-
gan to creep into the Democratic fold,
and though a majority of the party were
conscious that the whole scheme of those
busy agitators was traught with evil, and
only evil to the party, yet instead ofmeet-
ing them at the threshold as has been
done in this case, we trittercd away
our strength in vain attempts to "patch
up our divisions by harmonious action"
and made concessions othose disorgani-
zers, that gave to the opposition 100000,
of the best men Of the party in the State
of New York
If the hcrcsy of "Provisoism" could
have been as effectually blotted out as
has this, instead of that heavy loss to the
party, in a single State, we should mere
ly have lost a few corrupt leaders and thus
strengthened our party not only there,
but throughout the Union. And such it
seems to us will be the result of the cob
servations" of Gen. Black. And if a few
corrupt men who find it impossible for
them longer TO rule, shall be pre-deter-
mined to go over to the opposition, it is
better that their dogmas 60 not out, un-
der the mantle of Democracy, to diffuse
itself among the masses, as sound doc
trine, acting upon them as poison to the
blood, corrupting and tending to produce
disease in the entire system through
which it circulates, but they alone be
permitted to leave the party, for the par
tvs good.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT.

We have long felt that the system OF
government adopted by our State was in
no wise adapted to the wants of the peo-
pie or to the best interests of the State,
Everything is so arranged as to be re-
moved as far as possible from the people
and placed in the hands of a single indi-
vidual.
The county Judge is the Fiscal agent
of the county now in every respect, and
no demand of any nature can be audited
and allowed against the county, or even
towns of the county without it has his
sanction.
Neither can the people of any locality
obtain any alteration of any road or the
establishment of any, without his APPROX
al.
We would that the system were so
changed that each township should audit
its own accounts, and that the people
should present only to the county board
of auditors such claims as arc properly
chargable to the county. We would that
our township and county government be
entirely changed by the adoption Of the
supervisor system, because we believe it
cheaper, and better than u present sys-
tenn.
The county Judge in u opinion should
be invested with probate powers, should
try misdemeanors and inhict fines and
penalties, and shouldhave limited original
jurisdiction in civil cases, and should try
all appeals from justices courts. The
office Of county Treasurer should be sep
arated from that of collector, giving each
township it's collector, insteadof compell-
ing those in remote parts of the county
to $50 up to Jerusalem in quest eff
'sZacheus."
These are questions that address them
selves directly to Legislature.
Our Representative from this District
we understand favors the supervisor sys-
tenn and we hope it may have a majority
of the Legislature to sanction some
change from our present form.
We shall refer to this subject again.

pray. But, no matter, John S. LAWYER

THE RESULT

In looking at the influences that were
brought to bear in the various northern
States, at their recent elections, We are in
no name surprised at the result. Wher-
ever and whenever the Democratic party
bow to the behests of the opposition, de-
nounce its national Administration, and
laud to the skies, any individual member
of the party, for policy, they may rely
upon an Overwhelming defeat. The
distinctive difference between the Demo
cratic party as a political organization
and all others, is, that while it has bat
tied for the a~scendency of its principles,
they have pinned their faith to some en-
inent leader, and struggled to place him
in power, however his sentiments may
have changed by the fluctuations of
time.
What individual member Of the party
shall be its standard bearers, is matter of
little moment, if they represent its prin-
ciples, and are nominated for that, and
not because they, if interpolaters into the
Democratic articles of faith are still less
Objectionable, not to the party, but to the
country, than some of the demagogues
who lead the opposition.
Nominations not based upon principles
are always fraught with evil to the party.
The principles Of the Democratic party
defy the scrutiny of the world.
In any contest involving their correct
ness. or their adaptation to the wants,
the necessities and the growing impor-
lance of our rapidly spreading institu-
tons, we have no fears.
But whenever we would take the wind
from Republican sails, by acting the
demagague, we may anticipate the worst
results. In the contest Of 1860 let us
adopt the Cincinnati platform as 1t IS,
eschewing the d~isorganizing dogmas OF
"Popular Sovereignty" as %expounded by
it's Great apostle, and a glorious triumph
awaits us.

WORD TO OUR MERCHANTS.

Would it not be compatible with
the Interests of our merchants to make
arrangements, to receive the surplus pro-
duce of tho country, and especially that
which is not of a perishable nature in ex-
change for goods!
This is a proposition SO plain and rea-
sonable that almost every person i'll the
community affirmatively responds:
First, because in so doing they retain
the retail trade Of the country at our own
doors, instead of transplanting it to Nc
Gregor, for if our farmers must haul their
produce there to dispose of it there will
they buy their goods.
And, second because in the arrange
ment the interests Of the farming COM
munity, always identical with his own
prosperity, is consulted.
If it becomes necessary for the farmer
to raise a certain amount of supplies for
his family, and can only do so by a trip
to the river, does not the farmer see, and
does not the merchant readily see, that
the business Of the farm for the ensuing
var is thereby retarded, and direct and
mutual injury to their business is the in
evitable result. 1t seem to us as impos-
sible for the merchant to sustain loss in
this arrangementfor increased sales would
abundantly compensate him in this, while
the farmer by bestowing his time and at
tention to the farm instead of hauling
his produce off in search of a market,
would largely increase his crops, and In
consequence, could purchase more large
ly of the necessaries and luxuries of life.

T,HE NEXT CENSUS.

Next year the eighth annual census of
the United States is to be taken. This
enumeration is one of the most laborious
and difficult tasks which the Government
has to perform A timely suggestion is
made by the National Intelligencer,
which is worthy of consideration, and
which we quote in the hope that it ma,
be needed before the census takers shall
be called upon to discharge their duties.
The suggestion is this:
"That each farmer this fall, as he gathers his
crops, shall keep something like an accurate ac-
count of the quantity ami value Of the same; and,
if he will take the trouble to make out a state
ment of the names and ages Of his family; the
number of acres Of land cleared and timbered;
the number and ages of his servants; the num-
Der and value of his horses and mules; the num-
Der of bales Of cotton, barrels Of corn, bushels Of
wheat, oats, rye, barley, potatoes, &C., and the
value OF each, and leave it in ) me place where
any member Of the family, who may beat home
when the deputy marshal shall call, can readily
get hold OF it. 1t will save time to all concern
ed and very greatly assist to make the census
returns perfect, complete and satisfactory.

IMPORTANT DECISION, The question of
the validity of farm mortgages given for
railroad stock was recently decided by
Judge Noggle, at the Walworth Circuit
Court. He holds them to be void, because
a railroad company can have no powers
but those granted in their charter, and
these contain no authority to issue their
stock in exchange for anything but mon
ey. The lawyers will of course look up
this matter. The case will be appealed.

RHUBARB WINE.-We noticed in late
number of F07ney's Press an article on how
to make rhubarb wine. We learn from a
Grass Valley gentleman that Mr.. Loutzen- n
heiser of that place has succeeded in manu-
featuring the article from the celebrated
rhubarb of 7. w orthington. The Press says,
the wine is pronounced by experienced tast-
ers very fair article of pale sherry, and is
certainly better than half the costly wines
sold in the market.
We are informed that Mr.. Loutzenheiser
succeeded in first attempt in extracting a
gallon of wine from twelve pounds of the
plant.
The mode of making we gather from the
Press:
Add 81 pounds of New Orleans sugar to
gallon composed of equal parts water and
juice of rhubarb. Fill barrel with the
mixture, add isinglass and let it stand four
months when it must be racked off into
bottles. The pure juice makes very strong
win". $500 gallons can be made from an
acre of well cultivated roots.
If wine in such quantities can be made
from the stalks of rhubarb so cheaply and
of good quality, the effect of the discovery
must necessarily be great. Mr.. Worthington
raises on his ranch, between this city and
Grass Valley, rhubarb enough to supply the
northern part of the State with pale sherry.
