WE are rejoiced to observe that the
Board of Supervisors at irs late meet
ing took action submitting to the peo-
pie at the October election the aues-
ton OF increasing the number Of SUI
pervisors from three. as at present, to
five. We do not believe word is
needed on this matter to secure an al.
most unanimous vote in favor OF the
change. The Board. in our opinion,
has done Itself credit by submitting
the question, as but few of the many
who are interested took pains enough
TO ask by petition that it should be
done.

Very consistently with its past
course, the ADVERTISER last week
quotes from the Democratic Courier.
Journal Of Louisville, KY, to show
that the Congressional salary increase
is all right; that "the salary of Con-
gresham was certainly too small to
support him and his family decently
in Washington and though the
retroactive feature" which honest
people call the back pay steal, Is q lit
lie Objectionable, yet the salary bills
passed in earlier days gave back pay,
go IL is not a very bad feature now.
Very well Mr.. ADVERTISER, just 20

ly. We think much more of those
who come right out in defense of what
is wrong. than we do OF those who
are mealy mouthed about it and try
to make people believe they are on
the other side. We wondered why
our contemporary kept SO quiet about
this salary matter, but we see now !;
it favors the bill, but has been afraid
to say SO and didn't " ant to say any
thing against high salaries and the
back pay manner Gf getting them, as
the whole thing is in accordance with
their ideas Of the right way of doing
business and yet they publish Re-

about the State platform which con-
demns The whole affair? The getters

mon with every reader Of the ADvER-
TIsER, knows that our condemnation
of the salary grab in its every fea-
ture was prompt, distinct and un-

when he saw in the columns of the
ADVERTISER the extract alluded to
above from the Louisville Courier
Journal, also understood perfectly
well that it had been republished by
Us, aud proper credit given, in order
that our readers might see how dull
was the moral sense OF some Of the
leading opponents of that party which
is ever calling upon Republicans to let

AN ADJUSTABLE ELBoW.-The

turn it to any angle required, and
which for steam purposes must prove
of inestimable value, and for stove

SMITHS MILL.-We made casual
mention some time ago Of the fact
that the Touring mill on Rock Creek
heretofore known as The Weaver and
later as the Willer mill, had be-
come the property Of Mr.. S. l.. Smith.
Mr.. 5. has put into the mill number
of needed improvements, and has Sc
cured the services OF a frst-class
miller. with the determination of do
ing first-class work. And that he
has succeeded is evinced by the de
mand for his flour in this market, and
by the quality of the flour, which we
know to be good. He is ready at
the mill for any amount of custom
work and for orders for flour to be
delivered.

Lutheran Church OF Upton, and as
exponent of the general feeling Of THAT
church and congregation, we desire,
in view Of the dissolution of the long
sustained aud close relation between
Rev. J. w. Henderson and that socie-
ty as pastor and people, to express
thus publicly the high regard in which
he has been and is held by US.
During four years of contact we
have uniformly found in Mr. Hender
son the jealous christian teacher, the
consistent example. the kind friend,
and the pleasant associate. To what
ever community with which his lot
may hereafter be cast, we recommend
him warmly and strongly; and to
himself. in this hour of parting, We
direct the kindest wishes OF our hearts
for continued and increasing prosperi-

II Is truly amusing to hear the Post
talk against the ring" In county poll

to the situation candidly can assure
himself that the Post and its friends
have formed complete combination,
and as much of ring" as ever was
or ever will be formed in Cedar coun.
ty. for the purpose of controlling next
Saturdays Convention. More than
this, men whom they feared they
could not beat by ringing" they have
deliberately tried to kill by Islander
and defamation. But the people, we

situation; and as we remark elsewhere
we are quite content TO abide by their
decision whenever they have chance
to speak fairly.
