DoLEFUL.

As Aspecimen of impudsuee aud one
hoTsa eegOtism. commend us to the last
chase County Banner. According to it
there is a doleful state of thiugs 10 Chase
county. Sam Wood is beaten for Judge
that's lhe most dolsful thing that could
happen 10 the Banners estimation. We
fancy We can see Samuel boo hoo-ing
over the $500 like big boy over the
loss ofa quarter section of gingerbread.
In consequence SANS defsa, the dear.
foolish and shOrt-sigb,ed people have de
libora,ley cheated themselves out OF
$4,000. Did h3bblsdshoy sam intend -
pay $1,000 of HE $1,000 salary into the
county treasury, OF does he wish to inri-
mate that there Amt virtue anG intelligence
enough left in the county TO prosecute
criminals? Wouldn't Sam turn his hand
over, even if the people don't want him
for Judge. to save the county Eve ;hous
and dollars? Do they have to- bait bin
with fat cffics to get him to be homes
and save them $4,000? That $4,000 ar
raugement is the howl of defeated, ego
tisticSl demagu ,gs? AS further conss
quence of Sans defes: the county MAJ
