Senator Morton recently and in dis

said that II Morton became able to
get to Washington dnring the ses-

would pair of with him on all lead
ing questions, so that he should not
be compelled to attend the senate
every day. 1t was courteous pro-

his proposition Senator Mcdonald
has been roundly berated by the
Democratic press. Mr.. Mcdonald
publishes a statement setting forth
the facts, and expressing a determi-
nation to do In the matter what he
originally proposed. Mr.. McDonald's
statement was entirely uncalled for
and unnecessary, for every sensible

ness OF his proposition. and no heed
need be taken of the opinions OF the

The REPUBLICAN has been interested
In the controversy between "Tax
Payer" and Commissioner Barnaby
pretty much as every citizen OF the
county Is Interested We have gained
some important information concern
ing the condition and prospects OF
county finances by studying these
discussions, and we regret to see Mr..
Barnaby close them In the manner
indicated In his communication OF
this week. It is OF no interest to the
citizen whether TAX Payer" Is "Ob-
server" or not, the ideas suggested
are worth the attention Of any citizen
of the county, and Mr.. Barnaby. who
Is supposed to have only an official
interest In them, owes it to the peo-
pie who elected him to answer any
queries put In a courteous way. Fol-
him to object to answering any reas-
sonable question because the writer
may be one person or another, or be-
cause he may appear under q nom d.
plume, Is the thinnest kind OF bosh
No man understands this better than
Mr.. Barnaby. And by leaving the
discussion In this way he necessarily
leaves the impression that he is un-
able to answer the queries put to
him. As the matter stands now Mr.
Barnaby Is In the unpleasant position
of one who can make no defense, and
his refusal to answer amounts to
plea of guilty.

1t is ever a pleasing duty to direct
the attention OF the rising generation
to self made man. Self-made men,
while young, are invariably to be
found reading books upon arithmetic,
law, or history, in the corner OF a
field, while the rest OF the family are
attending to the wheat or corn de-
partments. Think, boys, all We who
sigh for the free and independent life
OF pirate, or the bold and adven-
turous career OF scout or trapper
thinkof Crazy Horse. Crazy Horse
is self-made man. He started life
without hair he could call his own
By dint of a long career OF energy
and skill he is now the happy pos
SCISSOR Of thirty-four scalps. All boys
cannot expect to reach this giddy
elevation, but there is no success
without toll or even danger. The
ambitious boy of the period may not
live to be a crazy horse, but IL he
keeps on trying he may In time ap-
proach the dignity Of tolerably in
sane donkey.-Inter- Ocean.

The administration OF President
Hayes is an advanced step in repub-
Observation-Disclosures Spy.
This is putting it very fairly but
had the Spy said: ait is an advanced
step in the theory of government,
it would have been more appropriate.
Before Jackson's administration such
a thing as filing all offices with poll
ticians was not thought Of. 1t Is a
matter Of history that no president
previous to that time felt himself so
much of partisan that he would re-
move any man from Office because
Of his being an opponent. Madison
was at one time violently assaulted by
an official at Norfolk who printed
scorching articles in the newspapers
concerning the president. His atten-
ton being called to them, 1t was
urged that he should dismiss the
abusive official. But Madison asked:
ais he a good officer?' and on being
told he was, declined to disturb him
In his office. Other examples OF a
like character are a matter OF history.
Then politicians advocated a meas
ure because they believed it to be for
the best interests of the country, and
the result Of any election was not
looked forward to as a means OF Sc
curing political preferment, and the
emoluments of Office. The admins
tration of Hayes is near approach
to the theory Of the olden time,
which will most effectually squelch
the ambition of thousands Of the pot
house politicians, who know nothing
about government; and care less, so
long as they can make money out OF
being political howlers. If Hayes
will carry out the non-partisian poll
cy, it will be for the good Of the
country, but he should at the same
time see to it that all professional
politicians are removed from Office
and unaspiring men Of principle put
in their places. That would be won
derful reform.

Six hundred dollars were stolen
from Mr.. Dent, OF Lake county last
week, as follows: A strange man
came to his house and inquired IL he
had any cattle to sell. The farmer
said he had, but they were in the
pasture field, and told him to wait till
he brought them home. While he
was gone said cattle buyer went to
the house and inquired OF a small
child II there was any money In the
house. The child said there were
5000 in the bureau drawer, and that
the key was in such place and he
could find it. The burglar unlocked
the drawer, took the money and
made for the cornfleld. The child
made the alarm as soon as possible,
and the father, finding his money
gone. gathered several Of his neigh
bors together and started after the
thief, but failed to find him. The
money was found few days after
wards in the cornfield.

when John Alden went to see Priscilla,
(and the other boys went to see other
girls,) that John ard Priscilla got
wonderfully close together, and sat
up close to the big log fire on the
generous hearth, and as the young
folks talked they nervously punched
the burning logs with the poking
stick, and volumes or sparks would
arise, and pour out OF the big throated
chimney. CThe old folks were good
then; they wanted their youngsters
to spark; they needed more Puri-

At such times any one passing the
house about midnight. and seeing the
meteoric showers from the chimney
leaping up towards the skies as
though springing from the heart and
winged by love, would say, 'Thar,

"court," an aristocratic, monarchal
term to spark" American. Puritan,
republican, star-spangledb banner,
yankee doodle term, which had its
origin in a prejudice of the old folks
against king and court, and fond
habit OF the young folks for each
other and great log fires, at a late
hour Of the night. The habit is yet
preserved among the young people
in some Eden-like corners OF the
earth. How we wish we were young
again, in such an Eden.
This is authentic, final. true, and
we hope satisfactory; and a valuable
lesson which our fair correspondent
may ponder over. Sparkling is an
American custom, and there's no
harm in it, even on Sunday night.

Now that the time for special meet

and the Vidette desires to warn usherf

filling the aisles OF crowded church

or a sudden alarm Is given, the re-

is dangerous even when the aisles

others whose influence is supposed to
have weight in the selection of books
for schools. We therefore find that
every change in the administration
of public schools is accompanied
more or less by change OF text
books. This prevents the younger
children of a family from using the
books which the older ones arc done
with. Again. a new edition of book
is issued with some unimportant
changes, at once all the books OF the
old editions become worthless. This
book matter is heavy matter OF tax
