The Register is dcsirious Of knowing
what has become Of the charges against
Sylvester Smith. We understand that
they stand against him in glaring fig

that at the Septen Der term Of court,
the attorneys for tho county selected
one referee, Smiths counsel selected
one aud the Judge selected another
Mr. Ware. Of Manturville, vas tho ref
cree selected :y Judge Donaldson, who,
o" being notified Of his appointment,
Informed the parties that he could not
we'll afford to act for the statute fec of
s. per day, but agreed to accept the
appointment for 81 per day. The
County Attorney, for the purpose Of
1ri"yiny the case to trial at once, con-
sentci to allow Mr.. Ware the 81 per
day. For the purpose Of putting the
case of, Mr.. Smith and his attorneys
refused to consent to pay such sum-
As = consequence Of this, the Judge
was Compelled to choose another referee,
and, late in December, appointed A. A,
Harwood to act in such capacity. l,
is we'll known that Mr.. Harwood has
been absent at St. Paul since january
first, and could not be present at the
trial even mad it been brought up
The fears entertained by the Register
Of its being used for political capital is
all bush, AZ every citizen knows. Mr.
Smith will receive his just deserts soon

A Temperance CelebratiOn.

Editor Mower County Transcript:
SIR You ask in you last weeks
issue, "Is Washington's birthday to be
celebrated in this city," 1t certainly
ought to be. Why not have temper
ance celebration on that day. Al
though the movement recently inaugur-
ated is suspicious Of good results all
will admit, and some are crying out
that We are not doing enough for the
temperance cruise, l submit that such
a celebration would be especially appro-
priate on that day, for two reasons :
First, No thoughtful, risht-u,indcd
citizen can think Of the glory Of our
country without also thinking Of the
blot upon our National character, and
Of the wicked system SO protected and
upheld by corrupt legislation that it
threatens to undermine all our g'or
ious institutions. We have a day to
glory over the beauty Of the National
structure. Why not give a day to
strengthening its foundations.
Secondly, On that day the National
Prohibitory Convention meets in COL
uubus, Ohio, to nominate candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
A direct appeal will then be made to
every professed temperance man in the
Union to support the candidates so
nominated. Temperance voters should
be enlightened and if this is a good
move and worthy Of their support, they
should begin tn get on their armor. If
it is not, let US At least pray earnestly
that it may bring no harm to the cause
We love.
l would suggest that, if it is impossi-
bic to commence making arrangements
before then, that wide awake commit
tee be appointed at the next meeting
OF the Temperance Union to take
charge Of the whole affair. Let sub
scription be taken on the spot to dcfroy
the expenses. Then let the committee.
by either word or circular, request
every business man in to,on to close HI,
place cf1usiness during the whole or
part Of the day. Az to a programme,
let me merely suggest that temperance
prayer meetings be held in all the
churches at 10@ A. NJ, "gencral cx-
perience meeting" in some commodi-
Qua place At u p. NJ, in which al are
