"Republican" says that the superyi-
~n~ ss,stn", is ''the enny of tho aristocra-
cy and nenrproducerI' 1t seems to me
that that is an additional reason why
suem producers d .'Republiean'' ana
myself should not favor the system. He

struct the Legislature arises, from their
being citizens and representatives of cit
izeps,"' Ia AL discussions tits import
ant to know what meaning is attached
to the words used.I 4 have thought some-
times that L did not understand the
meaning of the word "instruct," as used
by "'Reptiblftsin.'" IT. will be remem-
bered that our. Board Of Supervisors
passed resolution, at its late session,
inst'Ncti,g our members of the Legisla-s
tursi TO do certain things. t. I supposed
thatrthe word INSTRUCT in that con-.
nection meant the same as it does in
frequent resolutions Of State Legisla-
lures, iisastr~ctisy their Senators, and
requesting their representatives in Con-
gress to do, or not to do thus and 50.
The State Legislatures instruct their
Senators because the Legislatures elect
ed them, and they do not instruct their
Representatives in Congress because
they do not elect them. Had our Board
been content to request our members of
the Legislature should have found no
fault with them. Our Board of Supervi-
.sors consists of 16 members, and 8 would
be a majority, SO that according to IRE
publican 8 Supervisors have q right to
instruct our members of the Legisla-
ture how to vote and if the instruction
amounts to anything more than a
reqnest, the members Of the Legislature
must obey the 8 members of the Board
of Supervisors, even ifthey are petition
ed by hundreds to vote differently. This
assumption Of power Oh the part of the
-'o"i" IL ausulu, -.--a -. So No. sue-
publican would seriously contend for
10 a
any such power. / suppose that the
word Instruct in such connection means,
as Webster has it, s'to direct, to com
mand." If Republican means any,
thing else by the use. of the word, and
will explain his meaning, we may be
athletic agree. ..''',' : 'f'.'its PIT 7

must say, however, that. l. have no
recollection Of seeing anything in "C'sn |
articles that advocated the one. man

commissioner system, "RepubIicanu

such an Inference, except on the princi-

II Is weak cause that needs to be con-
iinnally supported by impugning the
motives OF its opponents. Cannotaman
honestly differ from Republicans
said that the ''true interests Of the
producer and non-producer were identi-
cal. Republican, in quoting, omits the
word "true.' Icannot see the parallel

the whole county are the true interests
OF all, but If all were like Republican
we could not expect the team to work

The matter SO that Republican can appre-
clate 1t. In this county there is an ex-
celient water power, wholly undeveop- |
Gu. The owner is anxious to get
capitalists, non producers, to invest
Their money and develop the power by
erecting mills, etc. Now is it for the
interest OF any one to have a feeling on
the part of the producer got up against
the producer, so as to influence
them not to invest this capital and de-
veiop the water power? Why cultivate
an i'll will between capital and Iaboro
