Itknere is any one thing more than an
other that the Organ wants, it is a chance
to furnish portion Of the county supplies.
There is nothing that would sooth the Or
gan grinder more, make him feel happier,
or make him honester and more virtuous.
In order to get his fingers into the county
treasury it is necessary that he should
have some tool, some man Friday" 10 the
board, whom he can load up with resolu-
tons and at the proper time touch him
of. For his last charge upon the board Of
supervisors he selected the member Of

with the proper resolutions, primed with
full dose of the Organs logic and
capped with all manner of economic

from the dazed condition in which the

prepared was the charge and SO effective

The Book Keeping Question.

When the question of having set Of
books kept in such manner as to show at
all times just how the county affairs stand
was before our county legislature,
our highly esteemed county clerk stood
right up on his hind legs, tapped his ears.
paved the air and distinctly gave the board
Of supervisors to understand that he would
not have it; he would not permit them to
make any reflection upon his integrity, when
none of the board had thought of rejecting
upon bis integrity any more than they
would have questioned historical suspicion
concerning Mrs. Julius Caesar. But when
the chairman of the board quietly informed
this clerk that the board proposed to dis
cuss such subjects as to them seemed
proper. it had an astonishing effect, and
during the tremendous debate our
highly esteemed county clerk was
as mild as sick kitten-why, he
actually smiled as the Websterian debater
of the board hurled the kings English at
the chairmap-he held his breath 10 mute
surprise as the great debater's arms fell in
graceful curves over the head of "the
member of parliament from Drury, who
sat groaning under the burden of the com.
mission that the editor of the Organ had
placed in his hands. and who occasionally
ducked his head and blinked his eyes as
the great debater warmed up to his sub
ject and the sweet mellifuent tones of hi,
voice floated-- ~
Softly, sweetly, in Lydian measure,
to the sunny side of the slough"
But how does it happen that the chair
man of the board dared to brave, to hi
very face, the ire of our highly esteemed
incompetent? He is certainly deserving
of credit for giving the county officers II
understand in so distinct terms that they
do not control the present board, espe
cially after our highly esteemed county
clerk had induced the morning paper t
annihilate the book keeping question.
