It Is and It Isn't.

EDITOR HERALD Il regret to have TO reply
to an article in your last sntitled "a What Is
It." Mr.. Davis has certainly lodged the ques
ton at issue. The gentleman certainly ought
to know what the real question is, for the
gentleman himself upon molten pronounced
the warrant in question criminal warrant"
Now the gentleman says it is neither criminal
nor civil James A., when did you discover
the mares nest? Mr.. ID. also publishes what
will call a pretended copy of the warrant"
with his official certificate attached thereto
Notwithstanding its official character tie gem
tleman knows that his statement is not true
perhaps had better say incorrect, for | have
no desire to impugn the genteman's veracity.
MIR D., l think the title to your composition is
very appropriate, for think it would be a
very difficult task to perform to define and
tell what it is, for you do not deny any po--
ton, or the whole, of my answer to 'Wyalus-
ing Items" But if you keep on with your
double-dealing it will not be quite so difficult
to discover and tell what you are. Now,
James A. D., at the time my answer to IVY
abusing Items" appeared, you, referring to it,
stated to several persons here in Patch Grove
that you did not dismiss the case through any
defect of the warrant. 1t was the complaint
that was defective; when at the same time
you knew that you dismissed the proceedings
upon motion shat the warrant was criminal
where it ought to have been civil"
MIR. Editor, the gentleman's "a What Is 1t. II
appears to me quite inexplicable, consequently
precludeS the possibility of saying any more
until the gentleman explains, which he prob
ably will do at an early day.
will further say that do not wish to enter
into conflict with the gentleman regarding
this matter unless it is his desire 20 do so.
Very truly yours,

Railroad Election.

Next Tuesday is the day for the
Railroad election. Voters should
turn out and vote as they think
right. We do not feel it our duty to
urge one aide or the other. II is O
business matter. We do not sec how
The road can be business loss to
any man IN Lancaster. We see
plainly how il will put money in the
pocket Of every farmer. Farmers
in Lancaster now have to haul their
grain or drive their stock ten to
twenty five miles. With railroad
here every farmer in the town would
DO within seven miles Of u market.
Where now it takes two days TO 90
TO market no can go two to four
times a day. Market prices here
will be as good as anywhere within
thirty miles. Shippers are assured
that they will get the same rates
from here to Chicago or Milwaukee
that are given TO shippers at points
on the Milwaukee e st. Paul r. r.
Our buyers in turn will guarantee to
the farmers ss good rates for their
produce as are paid by buyers .,
those points. There is no aim 10
mislead on the part of those who
make this statement. The promise
Is easy OF fulfillment and the way il
will DO done perfectly natural. Farm
ers over in Iowa, twenty miles west
OF the river are getting as high prices
for their produce az tbose who sell

ire. Thus there 10 strong Involvement
for our farmers to invest in q rail,
road to Lancaster. And they may
be sure that the investment called
for is a small affair. The taxes win
be SO light that they will scarcely
be felt. For five years nothing but
the interest on the taxes will be to
pay. To offset this the State makes
taxes on the gross earnings of the
road, which come back to the tax
cd towns. The railroad mortgage
bonds will give another large Offset.
1t is safs to say that the taxes will
be less In Lancaster, including the
railroad tax, than they have been in
the past years. While the idea of
tax for railroad purposes may be re-
pugnant 10 our moral senses there
can be no question but this tax win
be profitable Investment to everv
property owner in lancaster. Con.
suit your own interests, Pat money
in your pockets. There can hardly
be q doubt now but what if this tax
is voted by large msjority the road
will come booming in before the first
day of November. Lancaster has
immense crops to be shipped. If
they are bought by our own men
and carried out on this railroad the
Town will winter on $4,000 more
wealth than IL the road is delayed.
