Pioneer Press.
4 VAST IlIPR0VENENT
The agent of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press blank book establishment was in
town some days ago and stated that
their house had adopted changes in
their blank books for counties suggest
ed by the method Of Capt. Mills, our
County Auditor, as they were Il vast
improvement on the old blanks and
greatly simplified the matter of keep
ing county accounts. This is certainly
quite Il feather in the cap of Capt.
Mills.
Yet there are Il few Worthington
politicians who. through political spite.
insist that he shall be turned out Of Of
flee and that we shall return to the
loose and Unintel|igible method of
keeping accounts which prevailed be-
fore he came into office. The state
ments natle by Capt. Mills have been
the first ones ever published in this
county from which the people at large
could get amy thorough understanding
Of our county illalccs.
THE BONDS
Elsewhere Bunker Parsons gives the
inside history OF tie last issue OF coun-
ty bonds. There is one point on which
he touches which is not quite clear e.
llough. We attended the sale desiring
to bid in $1,000 of the bonds, but
learned that there would be a second
issue Of 81 900 to 1000, and concluded
to wait. We 50 informed Cummi>s-
Toner Bloom it Tie sale when lie asked
lis if We wished to bid. Peter Thomp.
son bid in the $4,000 issue, but III no
way did his bid cover the second ISSUE
When the Board, at Il recent meeting.
arranged for the second issue, we called
to inquire coEce:nin it. and learned
that tie Board claimed that Mr..
Thompson's bid covered the second is
sue also.
1t is not a matter Of any killing i'm
portance. but we believe Mr.. Parsons
is right in minimizing tn tt the present
Board is not the County Board but
Peter Thompson's Board. In fact, we
have said 50 before, and need not hest
tate to Say it again.
Several of our readers have asked us
what the spirits predicted concerning
the assassil,al ion and recovery Of Gar
filed, knowing that we are reader Of
that Class of literature. ~ spirit com
mnni:ation published in the 'Voicc of
Angels, - in February, 1880, said: Tile
year 1881 will come in with Il democrat
lied country. A President will be as
sassinated in that year.' This predic-
ton has certainly been fulfilled.
AS to spirit predictions concerning the
recovery Of the President, they have
been about us various us the opinions
of men in the flesh, some expressing the
opinion that he would live and some
not.
