other particular. too, we would impress
the necessity of caution and carcfulness
on the part Of the Commissioners. 1t is
of couI Sc natural that one when in posi-
ton to bcstow places of t. ust, honor and
profit should wish to make the subject OF
such bestowal personal friend or rela-
tive, but this, in party view, is not al
ways prudent, and under almost any cir
cumstanceS is not advisable. The duti-
full officer should act above all personal
considerations, he should be willing to
sarren Ter personal preferences for the
sake of party expediency wheo this can
be done without involving cost to the
general welfare of the public. Nepotism
is IA political sin to be always avoided
for it is apt to disrupt party ties, to dis
integrate party organization, to endanger
party existence itself, and secures the
return of no just equivalent whatever -.
We hope to find the Commissioners act
ing generously and disiutercs:edly in
this, as in other respects, remembering
that their first duty is to the county itself
and their next belongs to their party.

Political,

On the Friday evening before election Brother
Pllsbury of the Standard estimated the vote of
the State as follows: Republican 5000; demo-

publican vote remarkably well; but somehow he
got the democratic and greenback vote strangely
mixed.-Bangor Commereidl

better one before destroying that which has af-
forded security and safety

The fat money advocates are great
deal annoyed at being reminded, says the
Albany Journal, that coin is the recog-
nized standard of value throughout the
world and that their proposed fats would
be used for cigar lighters in foreign coun-
p tries. These advocates meet the difficult
ty by saying "Give us lots of paper cur
rency, demonetize gold and silver,
and cut loose from abroad" Now,
- many Of the fiat money fellows also
think it Is the duty of the Government to
furnish employment to those who ask it,
why wosId II not be good idea for them
in the first place to get the Government to
set everybody at work upon an immense
wall, to which the Chinese affair would be
merely stepping stone, for the purpose
OF shutting out the rest Of the world ? Let
them seal up every harbor and cut every
marine cable so that no foreign trade or
intercourse could be brought to bear upon
the value OF hat money All this work
would make times lively and the flats
would readily find their way into circula-
tion by paying them out to the wall-build-
ers and harbor-sealers. The sky-high en-
closure would serve another purpose-it
would keep the fats from blowing out to
sea when their abundant supply rendered
them thousand times thicker than the
leaves In Valambrosa. We make ne
charge for the hint and trust the fiat advo.
oates will reconstruct their programme
and begin at the right place.
