ajacakasskenney howls because we
published the fact that certain of the
county officers manipulated county
affairs with a view to securing a re,
election. The reason that the i'm.
maculate ajackasskenney objects to
our publishing these facts is because
certain ones interested in county
affairs paid him $500 to come to Red
Cloud and run a paper in their inter
est, and he is actuated by n laudable
desire to earn his money. But what
particularly inspires our contempt.
rary with an inordinate thirst for gore
is the fact that we, as he alleges, pur.
posely published a wrong statement
in regard to the tax levy. The jaded
ass should recollcct that he requested
MS to publish that the tax levy had
been reduced 80 cents on the dollar
and we did so just to please him, now
he says it is not right and hat We
should have said that the tax-levy had
in the last two years, reduced the
county officers 33 dollars on the mill
We think this is absurd and positively
refuse to give publicity to such state
ments. If our worthy contemporary
had asked us to say that the county
officers had, with their little tax-levy,
reduced the people of the county to a
state of abject poverty, We might have
done so with a very fair showing OF
truth, but the idea that the tax-levy
has reduced the county officers 81
dollars on the mill is too absu rd to be
entertained for a moment 10y any mar
who is not entirely insane.

Rumors are ailoat 20 the effect that
numerous independent candidate,
will present their tickets Ia the voters
ofthis county n the coming election.
and among them three of the present
incumben;s OF As many office. We
are sorry To hear such reports and
earnestly hope they are withou; foun-
dation. One OF the present officers. at
least, signided his intention 10 with
draw from office at the expiration Of
his term. and made such expressions
both before and after the convention.
But n Of the present officers with
the exception Of Mr.. Warren were
candidates before the convention for
nomination, that having been the
proper time for them TO have submit
ted their names had they been candi-
dates,
We fail 10 see how any fault can Ice
found with any of the nominees Of our
itsl CplNtIltIDli lOI tIt IoiIlilIt4pt bl
county officers. The proceedings were
fair and harmonious and all seemed
satisfied after its adjournment. II the
nominees of that convention are not
entitled to support, then there is little
need of onr holding any conventions
in the future.
As We said before VIC earnestly hope
the rumors and reports are without
foundation, but if they are true we
trust the voters of the county will
rally at the polls on the coming day
Of election and give every man On the
regular ticket a rousing majority, thus
setting a good example for the future
and warning those who are candidates
for office to come out fairly and
squarely face to face before the pco-
pie at the proper time and abide hy
the results.

AT the unveiling and placing in the Execu-
tive Mansion of Mrs, IIayes's portrait, on
Tuesday, Miss Frances f. Willard, Presi-
dent of the Woman's National Christian
Temperance Union, in few appropriate
words, presented the picture in the name of
the women of the nation. President Gar
field received the picture, saying:
Il have observed the significance which
you have given to this portrait from the
standpoint you occupy, and in connection
with the work in which you are engaged.
What you have said concerning the evils OF
lntemperance meets my most hearty concur
renee have been, in my way, and in ac-
cordaDce with my own convictions, an earn
eat advocate of temperance, not in so narrow
II tnse US some, but in very definite
ari practical sense. These convictions are
deg and will be maintained. Whether
shall be able to meet the Views of all people
in regard TO all the phases of that question
remains to be seen." The President then in
a brief sentence or two emphasized 'the
sovereignty of the family, the absolute right
OF each family to control its affairs in accord
ance with the conscience and convictions of
duty OF the head of the family adding:
Each household by following its own con-
victions and holding itself responsible to God
will, think, be respected by the American
people. l shall do what can to abate the
great evils of intemperance | shall be glad
to have this picture upon these walls, and
shall be glad to remember your kind express
slons to me and my family, and your efforts
to better mankind by your work. | hope
that you will be guided by WISDOM and that
will arbiava a worthy Thopk
ing you for this meeting and greeting bid
you good morning. The company were
then presented singly to the President and
his wife

APEoPos of the present somewhat long
and severe winter, tradition says that the
winter of 1S42-43 was very hard one. the
snow being very deep, and cold weather last
ing far into the spring The snowstorms
were numerous, and not few of them were
very heavy. Some of the worst occurred in
the spring and much snow was on the
ground even in the early days of May. That
season is made immortal by Hawthorne, for
it is the iron season referred TO in his "Buds
and Bird-Voices, one of the papers in the
''Mosses from an Old Manse," that paper
opening thus: ''Balmy spring-wecks later
than we expected, and months later than we
longed for-comes at last, to revive the moss
on the roof and walls of our old mansion
The present spring
comes onward with fleeter footsteps, because
winter fingered so unconscionably long, that
with her best diligence she can hardly re-
trieve fully the allotted period of her reign. 1t
is but fortnight since stood on the brink of
our river, and beheld the accumulated ice of
four frozen months 90 down the stream.
Except in streaks here and there, upon the
hillsides, the whole visible universe was then
covered with deep snow, the nethermost
layer Of which had been deposited by an early
December storm. 1t was sight to make
the beholder torpid, in the impossbility of
imagining how this vast white napkin was
to be removed from the face of the corpse
like world, in less time than had been re-
quired to spread it there" In his American
Note Books" he refers in similar language
to the same season. The first sentence of
an entry dated June Cd, 1913, is; Last
night there came a frost. which has done
great damage to my garden On the lst of
June there was II slight snow furry. Hard
and long Winter, made up Of some of Au-
tum and much of Spring, are no new things
