Judge Page has rendered himself
so od,ous to the people in his district,
and especially to the people in Mower
county, since his acqulttal by the Court
of impeachment that he has been pre-.
seuted with petition signed by fifteen
hundred voters requesting him to re-
sign his office. His acquittal by the
Court of Impeachment was a very
striking illustration of the downright
sturidity and criminal ignorance Of
many of our lawmakers. It is vel
that the legislative crowd will meet
only once in two years hereafter.

Local Politics.

Throughout the length and breadth
of the United States local politics Pc
riodicaily attract a great deal of at
tention. And in the nature Of the
case this is necessary, because the
principal burden Of taxation is borne
to meet local expenses. Indeed one
hardly realizes what all the money
raised by the heavy taxation prevail
ing almost everywhere is used for un~
til he sits down and reckons how
much goes to each of the several fundA
and he will then discover that the
most of the money is used for local
purposes, and never gets outside of his
county. And in addition to the real
interests at stake, the natural rivalry
that attends nearly every public effec.7
ton fans the fame of interest into a
conda grafton. Morrison county is no
exception to the general rule. Here
tie commotion and upheaval of the
under strata of political life vibrates
to the surface for months before an
election, and it finally breaks forth
like an active volcano and buries the
unlucky minority out of sight, until
the next election at least. The COM
ing campaign promises to be a lively
one, the Auditors office being the
central figure. There are several cam
didates in the field on the Democratic
side, mostly good men; and some Of
them are already at work preparing
to make vigorous fight for the NOM
ination. Candidates are not SO nu-
merous on the Republican side, be>
cause the Republicans are 10 the mi.
nority. AT the election last fall the
vote for the State officers who ran
squarely with their ticket showed a
Democratic majority Of lib. On a
full vote the Democrats doubtless now
have majority of at least $50. A
peoples ticket is being talked Of in
various parts of the county, and it
now seems probable that such ticket
will be put in the field. The question
has been talked of for the past six or
eight weeks, but no definite action has
yet been taken, and the make>up Of
the ticket has not yet been decided
upon. The general sentiment is in
favor of VIM. Rhody, Of Culdrum, for
Auditor, however. 1t is impossible
to determine at present what this move
will amount to. Many prominent
Democrats and all the Republicans
who have expressed themselves have
declared in favor of it. We uader>
stand, however, that there is general
feeling against having a third ticket
in the field, and that the movement
will be dropped unless the ticket
is approved by the Republican con-
vention, if it should be held. 1t is
proposed to give the Democrats and
the Republicans representation on tn e
ticket as near equal as possible. AS
far as we have been able to learn, one
of the principal objects in view is to
secure beneficial change in the Aud
itor's Office. The above is printed
merely as current news, and we be-
lieye that it fairly represents the lead~
Ing features of the local politics of
Morrison county at the present time.

The Turks when describing o
Greek girl say that she is kneaded
up with tricks. They ought to know,
for in the palmy days of the harems
these institutions contained many a
young lady from the Egean Isles,
bought by agreement with her kins-
folk; and doubtless SO late ss two
years ago the Turkish girl merchant
paid his yearly visits to Cyprus.
His ostensible purpose was to re-
cruit dancing girls, for tine word
slavery was not to be so much as
mentioned among the Greeks but
il was pretty well understood that
when 4 young Cypriot woman ac-
lcepted an offer to 60 and dance at
G onstantinople or Bagdad her re-
lations saw no more of her unless
she turned up in after years as a
large widow with great deal of
superfiuous jewellery about her.
vassilopoulos, the inn-keeper, used
TO say (but this was some years ago)
that the pashas, and even his Majesty
the Sultan, had particular liking
for tho Cypriot maidens, owing to
their merry eyes and their incompar-
able grace in dancing; and that If it
had not been for the vigilance of the
Cyprian mothers the whole female
population of the island sacred TO
Aphrodite would have found its
way into the Turkish seraglios.
This statement contained possibly but
a grain Of truth, for Cyprian mothers
of the peasant class, when oyerbur.
dened with families, did not think
twice about accepting merchants
offer of a cash payment in exchange
for one Of their daughters. The
transaction was not, indeed, regard
ed as honorable, II was not talked
about, and some mystery had to be
observed In conveying the girl away
but the merchant scarcely selected
Imore than score or two Of the pop.
ulation every year, and 1t was known
that the choaen few were going to /
life of brilliant possibilities, which
might result in their welding con
siderable power In the State and
sending home frequent remittance
to their relations. For the rest, ths
female population In Cyprus, as In
the other Greek islands, much ex
ceeded that Of the males, and wher
the inn-keeper's two sons, Dimitr
and Periclcs, went a courting they
must have found the marriage mark
ct rather overstocked. y. III
