THE Jackson Herald, Demo

The Jackson Herald, Demo
cratic, is OF the opinion that
Vinton county may be soon
sidered reliably Republican,
Good. And why shouldn't
Vinton be reliably Republicans
1t was reliably Democratic un'
til that party dropped It's pro-
fessed principles and took to
adopting a new set every week
or two, and until a ring here in
Macarthur ran the county head
over ears in debt. 1t would be
a little strange If the people
of this county wouldn't tire
some time OF such Democracy
as they were treated to. We
are only surprised that they
stood it so long.

The Democratic press is just
now engaged in what they con-
slider a fine piece of political
strategy. They denOunce the
salary steal of the late Con-
gress in the loudest terms, al
ways, however charging the
whole responsibility on the Re-
publicans, and carefully shield
ing or observing profound ST.
lence about the Democratic
members. The truth is that
there was as large a percent
ageioi one party as of the other
voted for the measure. If the
press of that..party would only
confess to this fact and hold its
own members to a strict ac-
count for their rascality, in
stead OF trying to make politi-
cal capital by showing their
faults upon the shoulders of
others, they would stand much
better with thinking men and
women. They choose, howev-
er, TO carry on a system of de-
ceit, hoping to impose on their
presumed ignorance of The peo.
pie, but instead, showing that
their only anxiety is to control
the offices, and not to better the
condition of the people and the
government. Thus il is they
constantly betray themselves,
and their supposed pillar OF
strength is their greatest weak
ness.

ONLY three States besides
Ohio deny the veto power to
their Governors. In Delaware,
North Carolina, Ohio, and
Rhode Island, bills become
laws upon passage by both
Houses. In all the other States
bills must be approved by the
Governor, or returned with his
objections to the House where
they originated.

THE value of water, which is used prin-
cipally for bathing, washing clothes, sailing
boats, and to some extent for drinking pur-
poses in this part of the country, and which
is as free as the air, is not properly appre-
ciated among us. In Colorado it has a
stable value. The Greeley Cali Tribune,
in answer to several colonization pro-
jects. says immigrants must not expect
that they can at once become pos
sessed of large and valuable farms. They
can secure vast acreage at COMPARE
lively small cost, but cultivation is neces.
sarly confined to few acres where water
rights are owned in common, as with colo
MES. There are memberships in the
Greeley colony which can be bought, but
no water-rights. Water to cover eighty
acres during the whole season is said to be
worth as much as $500. The sum of $3.50
