Township Organization.

There will undoubtedly be a de-
mand made in Platte county for a
submission of this question to voters
next fall, and from present indications
the proposition will carry.
We do not, now, intend to discuss
the merits of the law enacted by the
last legislature; it will be time to DO
that when the question shall be sub
mitted for decision. 1t is well enough
to say, however, that the basis upon
which our government rests is the
virtue and intelligence of the people,
and our "public" men, our so-calied
statesmen, are coming to see more
and more that the people can be
trusted to the uttermost with their
own affairs, and this is the intent of
the law in question--to give the voters
of q township or precinct the full care
of their own local affairs.
If Platte county is to have the ben.
eft of this law, the friends of it must
see to it in time. We quote the Sec
ond paragraph:
"County commissioners, on petit
ton of fifty or more legal voters, shall
cause to be submitted to the voters of
the county the question of township
organization under this act, by ballot,
to be written or printed or partly
written or partly printed, "for town.

a Stormy Year.

1888 has come in like lion, and It
is to be hoped it will 60 out like a
lamb. 1t has been distinguished
hitherto by the violence of the ele-
ments. We have had great floods,
both in Europe and the United States.
There have been "blizzsrds," " tempests,
violent snow-storms, and earthquakes,
and the atmospheric disturbances
haye extended throughout the globe.
1t is remarkable, by the way, that
during the reign of storms the num-
Der Of sun-spots was unusually large.
Meteorologists are beginning 10 think
that there is really some relation be-
tween these eruptions on the face of
the sun and the atmospheric disturb
snces on this planet. Nor is this all !;
the number of distinguished dead is
unusually large. There is, however,
one consolation pestilences, once so
justly dreaded, are now very rare.
True, this country has seen epidemics
of cholera and yellow fever. but
plaques, the black death of the middle
ages, and the pestilences 80 common
In all history, are unknown to this
generation. 1t has been found to be
within the limits of human provi-
dence to stamp out contagious dis
eases, and prevent their spread. No
doubt, when the twentieth century is
we'll advanced, sanitary science will
be so far perfected as not only to
ward off pestilences, but to prevent a
great many deaths which now need
