which of course they have, from the
great, influential, wealthy city daily
to the small struggling country week
ly. We have seen people throw
down large dailies in disgust, and
say there was nothing in them, when
they were crowded with reading
matter by the yard set in fine type

jects did not interest them, or else
their pet schemes were not sufficient
ly puifed up. People talk about the
trivial items found in country papers,
and such is the case frequently, but
oftentimes there is nothing else to
publish. The strong point of a coun-
try weekly is local news; but many
people expect more novel than in a
story paper, more telogrsphio news
than in metropolitan daily, more
editorials than in a monthly review,
and more facts in an unabridged die
tionary or a five-hundred dollar en-
cyclopedia. However, when per-

Mr.. EDITOR. When the County
Democratic Convention is called, let
the Democracy turn out and attend
the primary meetings, and take a
full hand in selecting and sending
delegates TO the County convention,
and not leave it to a handful Of men
in two or three townships to get to-
gether and do as they please. And
when the County Convention meets,
let the people see to it that two
trustworthy, solid and reliable dele
gates are selected to attend the
State Convention; men who will
obey instructions and work for the
choice Of the convention. We don't
want to send any man to the state
convention just because he wants to
go there, and cut swell, and trade
around; but we want to send men OF
common honesty, and good, plain
horse sense, who have no axes to
grind, and no interest to do anything
but carry out the will of their con-
stitucnts, and help define the old
Democratic land marks. We don't
want any professional delegates, nor
men with more cheek than brains.
The people can shape things if they
will turn out and oversee the work.

The County political wash-pot is
perceptibly beginning to simmer; one
whose ollactories have not lost the
sense Of smell, can sniff it in the air,
and like the Auttcr of song birds on
the wing, the bubbles rs they break
on the surface, can be heard on the
breeze. Button-holing, whispered
conversations, caucussing, hobnod-
ding and winking knowing wunks,
if indicative of anything, means,
"Look out for astounding develop
ments in the old quarters, the occu-
pants Of which believe the offices of
the county belong to them by inher-
itance." Some grand combination
is being formulated for the capture
of the principal county offices. We
are not in the secret-it's too pro-
voking! We would like to tell our
readers all about it; but like them,
we must remain in anxious suspense.
But of this, the dear people may rest
assured, that some cunning and in
genius scheme IS Matching that is in
tended to capture the offices. Watch
for it, wait for it, but beware of it.

We have received of copy Of Col.

sition to the Tariff and Tax Commits
sion Bill, introduced by Mr.. kasson,
of Iowa. The Colonels speech is
a mastery effort lii behalf of protec-
ton to all industries alike, and as
opposed to the protective system of
tariff sought to be legislated through
Congress in the passage of a bill be-

leave the whole matter of tariff and

explicitly requires that "all bills for

By reference to our list of an
nouncements will be seen that of
Mr.. T. p. Brashear for Commission
er of State Lands. Mr.. Brashear
has been connected as clerk and
deputy in the Land Office of the
state for the past eight years, and
it is through his ability and superior
business qualifications, the state is
largely indebted for the present sys-
tematic workings of this important
Office. A consistent and lifelong
democrat, an honorable, upright, So
Der and agreeable gentleman, the
office could not be filed by more
worthy or competent man. We hope
our county will instruct for him.
The Osceola times., 1882-05-06

"The idea that the office should
seek the man, and not the man the
Office, albeit old and never very pop
ular, has, within the past few years,
received new significance, and it will
be grand day for the state when
the people, in the exercise of an in
telligent and sound patriotism, shall
cast aside the place hunters, and put
in Office men whose merit does not
consist alone in impudence and greed
for power, but m a modest yet hon
est appreciation of the duties end
responsibilities that attach to the
public servant. The following, from
the Centre Point News, is but the
reflection of the feelings Of thousands
of intelligent democrats in this state,
who for one time would like to be
entirely free in choosing the chief
executive. The News, in making
up its slate for state officers, names
no one for governor, and remarks:
'As will be seen, we have no espe-
cial choice among the different aspi-
rants for the gubernatorial chair,
but think there are men who are not
candidates for the position, but if
rendered them would accept it, that
it would be an improvement to Sc
lect. Let the Office for one time
seek the man.
This, we feel assured, is the pre-
yai!ing scnt;men. in this county, and
50 far as the Office of governor is
concerned, a large majority of our
people submitted to the nomination
made two years ago out of no respect
for the nomination made, but solely
on account of their loyalty to the
party. We trust that we may not
be put in the cruoible again. Let
the people be heard this time, and
let stumping candidates take back
seat just one time.--Jacksonport
Herald"
We believe the above fully ex-
presses the sentiment Of the people
of Mississippi County And now,
without further comment, we would
ask the reader to compare the above
with the following reply to our inter
rogatories in an interview, last Octo-
Der, with Hon. II. NJ. McVeigh, and
at that time published, on the prob
abilities of his becoming candidate
for governor. His course since then
has been consistent with his declara-
tioas. He said;
"You may say that ! am not a
candidate, and will not be, unless
there should be a general expression
in my favor throughout the state.
No man in his right mind will seek
such position, nor would a true
man decline it, if he could plainly
see that he was the choice of the
people. | am honest in what say
to you, and you will find that such
compliments and illusions, while
justly priced by me, will not have
the effect of making me think that
the people are all wanting me for
their Governor, and can't get along
without me. | hope the time is at
hand when the will of the people in
a matter Of so much Importance to
them, will be fully expressed; and
| hope you know me well enough to
credit me when | say, that can dis
tinguish between the kind partiality
of friends, and the voice of the whole
people.

Drinking il so selfish.

Drunkenness is in one sense a
most selfish vice. However, the
man or woman may herd with those
of similar tastes, but few drinking
fathers or mothers wish their wives,
or husbands, or children to sit and
share with them the drinking, smok-
ing, singing, disappearing, and de-
moralizing enjoyments Of the vile
whisky-shops. Drunkards, Ike the
lepers Of old, from an unclean COM
pany OF their own, and by that very
vice become aliens from their own
families and homes. How different
might it be, if the fathers or mothers
would devote the same amount OF
time and money, to make their homes
happy and their families comfortable,
The same money which makes one
drunk and all miserable would secure
a little feast for the whole family,
an entertainment which all could and
would enjoy. As the love of strong
drink increases, | generally find that
the dress gets sha5by-the children
become bare-headed and are with
drawn from school-the house be-
comes emptied of its ornaments and
then of its esseutials-the dwelling
is changed for one smaller and when
sickness or scarcity of work comes
there is no fund on which to draw
and then comes debt or the poor
house-bcggary and misery. The
FOOLS pennies have made the publican
rich and respectable, but left the man
and his family in rags and wrctched,
