ED1roR PLAIN DEALEs.-Judge NJ.
Y. Burdick retires from Office with q
grace which cannot fail to command
respect.
VIM. II. Seward, the greatest of
living statesman, left every Office he
ever had with grace and dignity that
command national respect.
Judge Buriick Ike him, has not
plotted and planned for reelection. and
like him prefers good name.
The contrast between such men and
an other class, such as now fill Office in
Howard County, is striking. In How
ard County self is all that is thought OF
or cared for. The loss, anxiety or in
convenience of men is Of No. account.
Messrs. editors, there is now in Office
i'll this county for the fourth year, a
man who seeks and expects a reflect
ion, who out of Office would be like a
bullock knocked in the head with a
sledge hammer, not knowing where to
60 or what to do, and while the man
means to, and believes he does we'll !;
his records are failures, because he
thinks he has no responsibility, and # a
Jud gmeut fails to be entered it was
the judges fault and if papers are mis-
laid or lost they were never filed. He
says he cannot remember anything five
minutes unless he makes a written
memorandum, not even the payment of
money to him. The Clerks Office is an
office which requires promptness, ac-
curacy and energy vastly different from
the present incumbent, but when I say
this say it because the business in
tcrests suffer and the records are COM
plicated, mixed and uncertain, but
with no unkind feelings towards the
man. The house in which do business
has never found fault because the man
was not kind and obligi'.g and disposed
to do his best.
The man is not to blame for what he
does not possess, but he should thank
the voters for his four years in office
and quietly give place to some young,
accurate and prompt man suited to the
place. There is need Of reform 50 that
the anxiety over. the papers and
business in the Clerks Office shall cease,
and have what is done finished, and
not as now half done and straw bail
taken to please the Auditor. When
the Clerk Of the Courts says, he takes
irresponsible men in four cases at one
term of the court as bail on stay bonds,
because he is obliged to, to please some
friend and thus jeoparlise the debt or
his bail, he has held Office long enough.
What [ say on that subject | only re-
peat from the lips Of Mr.. S. y. Stone,
Clerk.

Elementary Principles and
Parties Representing Il In en-

In the United states there can never
be but two parties, really founded on
principle. Nor can there be any less
than two parties, in this, or any other
civilized community. All who profess
to be democrats are not; and all who
profess to be republicans are not in
sympathy with its characteristic and
distinguishing features.
\ party with the principles Of the
federal party has existed ever since
civil governments were formed and such
a larty will never cease to exist though
not always under the same name. All
over Europe, Asia, and America, it is
the party that believes i'll consolidation
and Capitalization: In spite Of consti-
tutions it assumes the right to as su-
premc power as Cpsarism was in Eu-
rope to suit its whims and caprices.
individuals have no rights as against the
head Of the government, and towns,
counties, states, and provinces have no
rights that the central power is bound
to respect. 1t believes the central gov
eminent may build the sewers in Crcsco,
run the street ears and manage Gilmores
Jubilee at the Hub.
Democracy under what name it
may be, means common sense
and honesty organized for
political purposes and applied to
public affairs. This is the substance of
its platforms AMI the object of its strug-
giles. 1t is often defeated but the princi-
pies being as indcstructihle as life Of ma
tureare not annihilatei by the temporary
defeat or change in party name of those
who are their advocates. Like all hu-
human combinations it is not without
errors, but its struggles are for the peo-
pie and against monopoly, and special
or hereditary privileges. Capitalization
which is but another name for monar-
chy and aristocracy is the natural
enemy Of Democracy. Democracy is
the practical recognition of the rights
Of individuals, aud of communities; its
success results from obedience to law;
in liberty, order and peace; and in that
moral elevation which alone can give
dignity to the character or stability to
the institutions Of a free people.
The people have before them the rep
resentatiye men Of these antagonistic
principles. Grant trained by his West
Point military education to be the in
strumcnt Of Capitalization, consolid-
alton, monopoly, and monarchy. Gree
ley on the contrary has been advancing
the world on toward the realization of
democratic principles and government
faster than it was really prepared. This
is seen in his anti-slavery propagandism
and his other aspirations for liberty and
advancing faster than the world
is prepared for them. Also his correct
views of the rights of man and of the
institutions created by men to cooper
ate with and counterpoisc langero US

Mute Artillery.

Out on certain western fort, some time ago,
the major conceived the idea that artillery might
be used effectively in fighting with the Indians
by dispensing with gun carriages, and fastening
the cannon upon the backs of mules. So he
explained his views to the commandant, and it
was determined to try the experiment. A
howitzer was selected, and strapped upon an
ambulance mule, with the muzzle pointing to-
ward the tail.
When they had secured the gun, and loaded
it with ball cartridge, they led that calm and
steadfast mule out on the bluff, and set up a
target in the middle of the river to practice at.
The rear of the mule was turned toward the
target, and he was backed gently up to the edge
Of the bluff The officers stood around in a
semi-circle, while the major went up and insert
ed time-fuse in the touch-hole of the howitzer.
When the fuse was ready, the major lit it and
retired.
In minute or two the hitherto unruf1ed
mule heard the fzzing back there on his neck,
and it made him uneasy. lie reached his head
around to ascertain what was going on, and, as
he did so, his body turned, and the howitzer
began to sweep around the horizon. The mule
at last became excited, and his curiosity grew
more and more intense, and in second or two
he was standing with his fore legs In bunch,
making six revolutions minute, and the how
| itzer, understand, threatening sudden death to
every man within half mile.
The commandant was observed to climb sud
denly up tree; the lleutenants were seen slid
ing over the bluff into the river, as If they did
not care at all about the high price OF uniforms
the adjutant made good time toward the fort
the sergeant began to throw up breastWorks
with his bayonet, and the major rolled over the
ground and groaned. In two or three minutes
there was puff OF smoke, dull thud, and the
mue-oh where was he!
A solitary jackass might have been seen turn q
ing successive back somersauts over the bluff,
only to rest at anchor. finally, with his howitzer
at fhe bottom of the river, while the ball went
off toward the fort, hit the chimney in the maj
or's quarters, ratified the adobe bricks down in
to the parlor, and frightened the majors wife
into commissions They do not allude toit now,
and no report of the results of the experiment
was ever sent to the War Department.
