POPULAR ELECTIONS.

POPULAR ELECTIONS.
There is no country i'll the world where the
people, or even a portion of the people, elect
their public officers in which there is more
earnest and noisy canvassing, or where the
excitement incident to campaigns subside sc
quickly and thoroughly as in the United
States. Disappointed candidates 60 back te
their Offices, workshops or farms as compla-
Gently as though their names had never ap
peared on blank walls, in two-foot letters, and
forget that hundred newspapers had held
them up 20 scorn as thieves and murderers,
towards and swindlers, and the lucky condid-
ate drops into office as naturally as though he
was born to it, to establish, too often, the
character which the opposite party had attrib-
uted to him. With all our buster, we have
usually peaceable elections A knock-down
at the polls, few noisy DRINKS or the smash
ing of ballot box now and then, is about the
extent of our trouble while in England and
the colonies, where the few vote and the null
titude fight we have seen towns controlled
by mobs, houses Quilted, and riot and blood
shed rampant for days. In Mexico it some
times means revolution on the part of the
defeated candidate, and in France, bitter in
vective, deep plots and hopes for monarchists
With us all is serene soon as votes are
counted, and, unless in case of contested cleo
ton, the very men who voted, are likely to
forget in few months who they voted for
There is a Dutch settlement III Pennsylvania
where they still vote at every election for
General Jackson, who suppanted Jefferson
in the hearts of the Dutch Democrats, though
all the new members of the family who have
heard of him, still contend that they are
Jefferson Democrats even the Milesian wing
of the party cling to the grand idea. 4ester
day California was boiling with sort of
quadrilateral contest, in which some of the
worst features of politics have cropped out {;

likely 90 to the devil, whether he fills the
Mayors arm chair or coffin and inside of
week the men who have been preaching
ruin and railroads, Chinese and monopolies,
will shake hands across the chasm, and the
wheels of traffic will move as smoothly as
though there had been no friction, and no
stoppage for single moment. We are the
most elastic people on the earth, and recover
from these violent disturbances with rapid
ity which shows that our national ills are
neither chronic nor fatal. And why
should we fret over imaginary ills! Let us
suppose the worst, Democratic National

TINE is demonstrating that the establish
ment of quarantine against Memphis, was
precipitous; but il was not given to the
people to look ahead, q week into the fu-
ture; and consequently the steps taken
were the suggestion Of wisdom and exhib-
tied a determination on the part Of the cii-
liens Of exposed cities, to take no risks-to
fence out the bronzed terror, if possible.
twas not only commendable precaution-
airy measure to establish a quarantine
against Memphis; but those localities that
enforced it most rigidly betrayed the greater
wisdom, since their action inspired conf
dence in the people concerned, of their
ability and determination to derive all the
advantages and afford all the security that
quarantine can give. The people Of Cairo
are without that assurance, and,
as consequence, will hear OF
future outbreaks of the disease, with in
creased distrust of our security. We SIN
cerely hope that such farce may never be
re.enacted; but, Of course, can promise
| nothing.

,FFIcIAL PAPER OF ALEXANDER COUNTY.
r. n. Burnett, Publisher.
NIB. Harrell, Editor.

PORE county is one of the Republican
strongholds of Southern Illinois. For a
period Of fifteen years or more, the Demo
Gratis there have been rigidly excluded
from any share Of the management Of It's
affairs. The Republicans have held undis-
puted sway, and what that SWAY" amounts
to is being shown by the Pope County
Democrat. BY digging into the records Of
the county commissioners court, the editor
of the Democrat has brought to light the
following proofs Of shameless waste and
profigacy, if not downright dishonesty
On the 14th Of July 1877, the commission
crspaid Culver. Page and Hoyne, for 0
or deny collectors book $1,000 and for the
box in which it was shipped Sl.0O. The
book was really worth at that time $ll.25;
the box 25 cents. Here is square gouge,
in the price Of single book, Of $3.50.
In March n the commissioners paid 81
for II or deny tax book, and $50 for
5000 assessors blanks. The book was then
worth 1895 and the blanks $1,000 Here
in an expenditure Of S107, is a gouge Of
$62 90! In the same month and year the
commissioners paid 500 for an quire chat
tie mortgage book, and 81 for the box, the
book and box being then worth exactly
$l0.25. Here, then, in an expenditure of
SOL, is another gouge of sjO,75 On the
same day an s quire deed record was pur.
chased at cost OF $50, whereas its actual
value was only $l0-another gouge, in the
cost Of book of $4,000 And at no time
were the orders Of the county worth less
than rs cents on the dollar. To recapitu-
late these monstrous items, We find that the
taxpayers Of Pope county, through the reck-
less waste extravaganza Of nothing worse
of their Republican officials, are compelled
to pay 5000 for four books, etc. that might
have been purchased, for cash, for the sum
of $56.75-a clear waste of $24225 in an
expenditure of less than $500! What do
honest people think Of this style of county
management What do they think Of
great book firm that makes itself q party &c
such proceedingsl We pause-wonde'
stricken.

The Okolona States is the only newspa.

of Illinois, Estate Sovereignty" at It's mast

that declares that the constitutional amend

only paper in the South that is kept alive

Valentine Day.

Tomorrow is Valentine day, one that Is
as familiar as Christmas or New Years
with the young people. Comic, and seri
Gus, prose, and poetical etfusions are sem
to those who wonder and guess the con
tributor. This custom existed among the
ancient Romans over s,eo0 years ago, and
arose from the suppos'lon that on that
day birds chose their mates. and accord
inmlv at a certain feast held on that day
the Romish youths, placed the names OF
boys and girls on slip which were pu
into some vessel, each one drawing one a
random, and the person whose name was
drawn was the valentine for the one draw
ing.
Afterwards the custom became associa
ted with ST. Valentines festival, this here
of the third century being noted for hi:
great charity.
In England in after years the custom
prevailed Of the maidens considering III,
first boy seen on the 14th TO be her Valen
tine for the year. Then also originated
the plan of writin. NaIcns;nc2, and in tl,'
present period we find printed and iluslra
ted Valentines pass ing through the mails
varying from The most ridiculous cuts ant
poetry to the finest pictures and selecte'
language.

Early cutting of wheat and quick work

the Zumbro brought his wheat into the
market last week and received seventy cts
per bushel for il, while his immediate
neighbors received rom forty to tity-six
cts for theirs. He said it was accomplish
ed by cutting early, and more acres per
day than his ncighbors-all perfectly
shocked. He thinks that therein lies the
great mistake of many farmers by not cut
ting their wheat soon enough nor fast
enough when they are at it, and that it is
not properly cared for at the time. At
least it is a practic al Illustration of the
