The Banner Tries to Explain.

The editor of the Transcript arraigns the
Chairman of the Democratic County Commit
tee, for calling the County Convention at SO
late day that he aud his little ring will not
have time to get up a. bolter's convention !!
And we plead guilty to the charge. That " Is
just the object in calling the Convent tion so
late; and If that be a crime against the DEM
dcratic party, we repeat that we are guilty.
Every Democrat in the County,
so far rs we could learn before calling the Con-
vention believed that party interests would be
best protected by calling it at the time we
did.-Morrison County Banner. !
The above extract from the Banner
shows conclusively that the Transcript
was right in asserting that Clark had
F'put up job" to deprive the Germans
of proper representation on the ticket.
Clark, with a candor very unusual with
him, frankly admits that the date to
hold the convention was fixed so ,late
in order that there would not be ''time
to get up bolter's convention" Now,
if every Democrat in the county was
satisfied with the arrangement, as he
says they were, will he please inform
us who he expected was going to bolt?
At the time that Clark fixed the date
to hold the convention, a "People's
ticket" had not been thought of. Now,
he knew very we'll that if a ticket was
nominated honestly and squarely by
the Democratic convention. there
would not be a "bolter's convention"
There is no way to avoid the conclu>
sion that Clark was acting in the in
terest of clique, and thas it was un>
derstood by him and the fellows who
had hired him to perform this dirty
work that the convention was to he
controlled by themselves. IF he can
give any explanation that will clear
him Of having apparently been a par
ty to a plot to get up packed conven~
tion, he had better try his hand at it.

Honesty in the Public Service.

We hold that it is tho duty of the Legisla-
ture to provide and perfect a better system of
financial management for all it's institutions.
and that until it does establish some system
based upon ordinary business prudence, the
Legislature is directly at fault for whatever of
mlsmanagement, extravaganza, speculation or
fraud which may occur.-St. Paul Dispatch.
The above is taken from an article
on the crookedness unearthed at the
State insane asylum at St. Peter by
the Senate committee. The tone of
the whole article seems to harmonize
with the theory that if there is any
defect of law whereby there Is chance
to steal, the guilt Of the thief is not
so great as it otherwise would be.
Indeed, we have heard this theory adj
vanced and defended by prominent
persons, some Of whom even assert that
it is no crime at all to take advantage
of any and every defect of law to plun>
der the public treasury or steal public
lands. And defect of law, as they
interpret it, consists of an omission or
other feature whereby the law can be
grossly violated without the vlolator
being sent to prison. This principle and
this looseness of morals produces the
rottenness that Is so frequently found
in official circles. A man who upholds
fraud under any circumstances is not
a safe person to be intrusted with a
public office. But this perverted con-
dition Of the morals is often hid under
thick coat Of hypocrisy. The Rev.
Kerr. one of the trustees of the insane
asylum, furnishes an example, and a
number of the pious indian agents who
have lately been detected in the most
outrageous frauds illustrate the aston
ishing extent to which Hypocrisy can
be carried. It is we'll known that in
all branches Of the public service in
the United States, dishonesty and fraud
are much more common than they are
under the leading governments of Eu~
rope. This cannot be attributed to
the dishonesty of the American peo>
pie, for they are, as a whole, fully as
honest as the people of any other ma
tion. The reason Of this extraordinary
degree Of corruption in official circles
is to be found in the fact that in this
country official misdemeanors are not
generally followed by swift and con-
dign punishment. The laxity of our
government in this respect causes ma
ny people to look upon official dishon~
or rather as a virtue than as vice.
It would be impossible for SO much
corruption to exist if corrupt practices
were not viewed with some degree of
liberation. The Dispatch suggests the
propriety Of creating Estate depart>
ment of supplies aud building in or

given them. We have kept bed Of
verbenas over winter by covering
thickly with dry leaves, holding
them in place with brush-evergreen
brush preferable. Thus the protee-
ton afforded by the srow will great
ly assist. Hybrid perpetual roses
are best protected by carefully bend
ing over the principal branches and
pegging the ends to the earth. Then
the whole may be covered with
slough hay or o.ier material handy.
Indeed some people cover the whole
with a mound of earth, to be re-
moved in the spring. II will GER
tainly pay for these or other hard
wooded plants that are somewhat
tender.
Pansies require but little protec-
ton. All that Is required, is to keep
the soil from freezing and thawing
and consequent heaving. and from
the influence of our dry winter
winds. A covering of slough hay is
sufficient. Even hardy plants, as
sweet William, hollyhock, etc., pay
well for this covering, giving much
finer bloom the succeeding summer.
The same will apply to beds of bulbs,
as tulips, hyacinths and others in
tended for spring bloom.

A gentleman who has been travel-
ING quite extensively in the country.
informs us that the black jaundice is
prevailing at two or three localities.
AT Milford there were three deaths
from this disease, and at Hillsboro
four deaths. One of the victims at
Milford was DIR. Smiley of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church. This
is only another illustration of the
fact, that all through the season there
has been far more sickness in the
country than in the city.-Ddlids
Commercial.
Galveston county can probably
take the premium over all other
counties in the State for having an
otiice-seeking population, hungry Tor
place, struggling desperately for such
ioayes and fishes us the county Off
ces may afford, and some of them
doubtless figuring on the opportuni-
ties for perquisites and plumber the
coveted places may afford.
There were Mt last accounts of
these eager aspirants, eight candi-
dates for sheriff, fifteen for assessor,
seven for district clerk, ten for treas
urer, sixteen for hide inspector, and
twenty-five for constable. All the
other offices are similarly beset, and
the total of candidates foots up to so
considerable portion of Galveston's
population that the question may
well be asked. Who will be left to

DEAFNESS IN SHEEP.-Dr. Gun
Their saws, "Sheep are often observed
TO describe eccentric circles for whole
hours, then step forward a pace, then
again stop, and turn round again.
The older the disease, the more the
animal turns, until at length ii does
il even in trot. The appetite goes
on diminishing, emaciatiOn becomes
more and more perceptible, and the
state of exhaustion terminates in
death. On opening the skull, there
are met, either beneath the bones OF
the Uranium, or beneath the dura-
mater or in the brain itself hydatids
varying in number and size, some
times single one, often from three
to six, the size of which varies, ac-
cording US these worms occupy the
right side or left, the sheep turns to
the right or left; but If they exist on
both sides, the turning takes place to
the one and the other alternately.
The animal very often does net
turn, which happens when the worm
is placed on the median line then
the affected animal carries the head
down, and though il seems to move
rapidly it does not change place
When the hydatid is on the posterior
part of the brain, the animal carries
the head high, runs, straight forward,
and throws itself on every object II
meets"
Treatment. Take powdered worm
seeds, ounce, powdered sulphur
half an ounce, powdered charcoal
two ounces, linscod, or flaxseed, one
pound.
Mix. Divide into eight parts, and
feed one every morning. Make Il
drink from the white Iudian hemp
one ounce of which may be infused
in quart of water, one-foui til to be
given every night.--Sdn Antonic

Keeping House Plants.

If you have more house plants
Than you have room for during win
Ter, and where the temperature may
he kept tolcrably even, do not set
them away in n mass in some room
where there is no fire or perhaps n
fire only occasionally, with the ex-
pectation of sorting them out at your
leisure, and placing the most valua-
BILE in their permanent winter quar-
tiers. Do this work at once, because
for want of proper temperature and
neglect they may receive injury that
the whole winter will not remedy.
Many shrubby plants may be kept
IN light cellar with little care If
the temperature does not go below
frost. They must not however have
confined air, but much may be done
by having them in such shape, by
placing the pots together in sections
of barrels, with rope or other, han
dies SO they may be brought into the
Kitchen or living room when the
weather is intensely cold. This and
an occasional watering (they do not
want much) will enable you to save
many plants that would otherwise
die, and give you good start next
spring. Plants like the olcander will
stand some frost, but not much.
Geraniums, fucbsias and that class
of plants must not freeze, and will
break into bud again in the spring
all right. The knowledge acquired
during summer and autumn will
assist in showing the requirements.
Tender bulbs and roots, like dab
liza, tuberose, Madeira vine, Gamma
and caladium, must be well air-dried,
and stored in cool, dry place, but
where the temperature will not GO
below forty degrees for any cOnsid.

and damp they will rot. The best
material to keep them in is, undoubt.

way is TO have them in such sizet
packages that they may be removed
to a room where there is fire occas
lonally. The same rule will apply
to gladiolus bulbs, hyacinths, etc.
but these do not chill as easily al
