As WILL be seen from our paper
this week, the Republican County
Committee have appointed the vigi-
lance committees in the several town.
ships preparatory to holding the pri-
mary meetings for the election of del
egates to county nominating con-
vention, call for which will be is
sued in due time. Thus on the part
of the Republican party, the cam
paign is virtually opened
The local offices to be filled this
year are not as numerous as they
were last, but still there are some
that by their Importance as directly
affecting the interests of the people
will give to the coming election 81
full share of interest. There is
member of assembly, a county COM
missioner and a county auditor to be
elected, and we venture the assertion
that these three officials acting with
their associates will exercise a great
er influence on the welfare of the
County than all the other county of
ficials together.
For this and other reasons we ask
the people of Potter to see to the
nominations themselves. None but
the best men should be selected and
every appearance even of unfair ac-
tion should be avoided. Our oppO-
nents for two or three years have
rung the changes on "ring rule
"packed conventions" estate nomi-
nations" ETC., with but little success
we admit, still it has been one of
their principal arguments, and it is
the duty of the Republican party to
go into every campaign with a good
ticket, nominated fairly by the mass
Of the party SO that such charges
shall have no foundation in fact.
Farther than this, the temper of the
public mind is different to-day from
what 1T has ever been before. The
intelligent, thinking part OF the
people are steadily reducing to prac-
tice the theory that the people rule.
The time when one mind could con-
troll nation, a state or county has
almost become part of the past and
as it gradually recedes the united
action of the masses guided by their
own intelligence comes in as sove-
reign and ruler.
We ask the Republicans of this
County to carry out this idea, this
principle, at the primary meetings
and in the nominating convention
and not, by their neglect or indiffer-
ence at these, place themselves in a
position where they may feel con-
strained to pay it surreptitious
homage at the ballot-box. Give us
a good ticket, gentlemen, and then
vote it and if need be we will pull
off our coats and work for it as well.

that grass could not be grown sue
cessfully in prairie country; but we
find grass does as well here as could
be desired. l think, all things con-
sidered, the Saint CroiX valley is
about as good a place to locate as
any part of the west. We never have
had the crops destroyed by grass
hoppers and hail as in many other
places and those winter storms are
not so hard. SAMUEL PALMER.

New YORK, July 19.-The suspen-
sion of the Brooklyn Trust Company
was a great surprise to Wall street and
caused temporary suspension on the
Stock Exchange to-day. Many brokers
were in the habit of borrowing money
from the concern and not one of them
ever suspected that anything was wrong.
The capital stock was $500, 900, surplus
one hundred thousand and deposits two
million two hundred thousand dollars.
Mr.. Mills, late president, is a defaulter
to the extent of Sl46, 600 and he has left
one hundred and fifty thousand Will
mattic and Air Line Railroad bonds,
which have some value, but not enough
to cover the amount of cash taken.
Mr.. Chamcey, one of the directors.
has been trying for a long time past, to
get up an examination of the company,
but the directors generally objected, as
it would be reflection on Mr. Mills.
AT last he obtained the consent of five
directors, the number required for an
examination and as soon as Mr.. Mills
found this out he committed suicide.
The Brooklyn Trust Company had
three hundred and seventy thousand
dollars in cash on hand this morning
with which to continue business.

''INSANITY IN It's RELATIONS TO
CRIME" is the title of brief but very
able and learned discussion of question
which has of late attracted much Of the
public attention. It's author is DR..
William \. Hammond and the conclu-
SiOnS at which he arrives, after Il tho
rough examination of the subject in the
light of the highest authorities. are such
as common sense would seem to teach.
namely, that the existence of certain
hallucinations i'll the mind of a crimi-
nal should not Shicli him from the pun
ishment due to lis crime: but that any
one with sufficient lucidity Of intellect
to understand what Will be the natural
result 0f his criminal act, though he
may have dcludcd himself into the be-
. lief that he is justified in their cGlnTHis-
sion, must be held responsible and pun
ishCd as criminal. Any ole who is
incapable of thus understanding the
natural result of his actions and yet
commits criminal acts, should be placed
/ i'll permanent confinement for the safe.
ty of the public. The subject is pre-,
sented and argued by Dr.. Hammond
with great clcarness and intellectual
acumen.
