The caUcuses 70 nominate Representa-
tives and Justices have not been held.
and We can better have our choice in
these officers by attending eaucuses. than
by letting the nominations be made BY
those who only have personal interest
in the matter. Since the meeting Of the
Legislature occurs only once IN two years.
It becomes more important that = good

made. Ii has been = custom IN many
towns 20 make this Office sort Of ere

to such townsnen as have passed up
through the several grades of Office. to
that point where they have needed only
this one Office, in order to graduate and
be laid on the shelf Other towns take
up such men as have the happy faculty
Of being on the same side Of every ques-
ton. as are those with whom they are
eOnversing; who know just which way
to stroke the hair, to produce 4 pleasant
sensation upon every creature they meet
and, withal, know how TO create an in
preston that they hold in reserve men

On momentous occasions The custom
Of rewarding faithful officers is ! good
one it encourages the young. and in

give man the best place at the dispos-
al Of a town. because he Is good fel-

his ignorance and hypocrisy, while he
tiekles your appreciation by fattery.
Such man is worthless as an officer.

Of the time Such men are not always
popular, but they are valuable, and there
are many Of them that ought to be hon

s.POLAND's PRESS GAG.''

In Its endeavOr to get up opposition
to Judge Poland. the Farmer has had
much to say about POl2nd's press gag
law, and has by editorial, contributed
and selected articles sought to make its
readers believe that Judge Poland con-
nitted 4 reprehensible. if not criminal
act, b. bringing into congress a bill
that made libel committed in Washing
ton, an offence punishable in the Dis
triet Of Columbia The Farmer will
doubtless admit that libel is a crime,
and that the laws Of the District Of Co.
lumbia, ought to provide for Furnishing
the slanderer. Now for the sake Of argu-
ment, We admit just what is claimed
against the law, by those who make the
greatest ado about it 7: First, that it VIII
punish the Washington correspondent
for slandering I member Of congress, or
other person living in Washington and
second, that the publisher Of any news
paper can be called to Washington, to
answer for EbeIous articles which he
publishes as his own. letting it be under
stood or implied that they originated in
Washington This is the worst possible
Interpretation Of the law. and let Us pre-
sumo case and see if there can be any
injustice in it, The Former has 4 cor
respondent in Washington, who writes a
very hbelOus article against Senator
Morrill,, and It Is published in the Far
nlsT. 1t comes to the notice Of Senator
Morrill,, and he asks the correspondent
TO retrzet the statement, and he refuses
to do 50. Then the Senator brings him
before the courts and be Is there found
guilty Of libel, and Is fined according to
the provisions Of the law. Is there any,
thing very unfair about this ? The next
phase Of the case, and the one most CON-
planned Of. IS like this: Mr.. Cummings,
publisher Of the Farnssr, receives = CON-
munieatiOn from his correspondent,
adopts 1t as his own. and publishes it
as having been originated by him in
Washington Now Senator Morrill, asks
Mr.. Cummings to cone I'd to Washing
ton and answer before the courts for this
offence Is there any injustice in this
The publisher deliberately ibels the
Congressman. and lets it be understood
that he makes his statement. In or from
Washington, and he ought not complain
If he Is punished, where he claims to
commit the offence. But many say that
this law viii not admit Of this last con-
structiOn- How this Is. it matters not.
