one that can prolong the fun little lon

given you by the ring-why not prof. by il.
Mr.. Edward De Verna and Mr.. Jehn
Hood called in last Friday. Both are fell
low sufferers ON Crane Creek ditch. Mr..
De Verna was the petitioner for the sim
provement" of the ditch. Enough OF work
had been completed to throw the wafer
onto him and others, and enough Of work
had not been touched to form dams and
flood their farms with water. The taxes
for the improvement go on, all the same
| as il the work was completed and the tax.
payers were benefited instead of being in.
jured by it. Mr.. De Verna SAID he had
reached the conclusion, from experience
that the engineers employed were perform.
ing their work like some attorneys perform
theirs, on the plan Of making all the money
out OF il that It was possible 10 make.
This is the condition of the ditch and
road work pretty much all over the county
This is the condition of things which the
new board of commissioners find staring
them in the face. Everybody feeling thai
they have been grossly robbed and swindled
for years past and don't know just what tc
do about ii. We say give the new board q
chance. Put yourself in their place and
imagine about how long il would take you
to bring order out of the case which 1t il

best judgment and sympathy in the nam
moth undertaking before them. They
were elected to stop this worse Than high
way robbery and you should put you
shoulder to the wheel to assist them Al
long as they are sincere in the work.
Mr.. De Verna wants and needs a roat
badly 10 get from his farm to Perrysburl
without going three miles out OF his way
but says he is afraid to petition FOR IT
fearing that he will only be putting tn

Governor Cleveland Talks.

ALBANY. New York, November 90
Governor Cleveland was asked by an Associat-
ed Press reporter to-day II he was aware of the
delusion among the colored people Of the
South, that q change In the Administration
would unfavorably affect their condition!
Governor Cleveland replied: "Yes; ! have
been astonished at the statement that there
was an apprehension existing among the col
ored people that in some way their rights, as
now secured 20 them under the laws and Con-
stitution OF the United States, were in dan ger
from the election OF Democratic President.
am even told that some Of them are led to
suppose TINT the result OF the recent election
means, that they may again be made slayea.
All this las appeared TO me to be so absurd,
and have been so sure that the slightest in
telligent reflection would dislodge such fool
of them necessary. But there is not the
slightest objection to calling the attention Of
all who are in the least uneasy, or uncertain
upon this subject, TO the fact that the title Of
the rights Of citizenship, cannot be disturbed
except by change In the constitution,
which II would be absolutely impossible to
make. Beside this, the present condition and
status Of the colored people has been SO fully
accepted by the entire country, that no one
should have the slightest idea that any at
tempt will be made to change 1t, II there was
any possibility Of accomplishing such a thing.
So far as the new administration Ia related to
this subject, the whole country can be sure
that the lawful power and Jurisdiction Of the
Executive will be so exercised, that the rights
Of all citizens, white or black, under the con-
stitution and laws, will be preserved and be
protected, and all the advantages TO which
they are entitled by reason Of their
citizenship, will be secured TO them.
There need be no fear that
the Democratic party, or its newly elected ad-
minittrstion, proposes to oppose or ensiaye
the business interests Of the country. We
hope, on lthe other hand, to do some
thing to benefit the people. II seems
to me that our efforts in that direction would
be aided II the mischievous croAking and dark
implications should give place to an earnest
eudeavor to inspire confidence, TO make uni
versal, cheerful hope for the future"
The statement that Governor Cleveland haA
engaged quarters at the Arlington or any
other hotel In Washington, is premature At
least.
