his mind ruminate over the all important
subject of Delta county and its bests interests,
after which think he will not be. so sorely
afflicted with diarrhea of the mind as he was
when gazing through the dim vista of the
future at the "battles" and ''issues" he was
able to discern looming up in the distance.
SO far as the issues to which he refers are
concerned they are of minor Importance to all
the well-thinking fair-minded men of not
only this end of the county but of the North
Fork, if the sentiments expressed by Amer
icus' are to be taken authority.
In the fullness of time, should it transpire
to the ebullient mind of the mediator that the
time has arrived wherein speedy and ami
cable adjustment of all difficulties that may
arise over difference of opinion as to the is
sues to which he refers should be effected, he
and his cohorts can, if they choose, weigh us
upon those '.issues,'' for am sure they will
not find us wanting" as we are in full pos
session of a superabuncance of that commod-
ity known in arithmatical parlance as nu-
merical strength. My advice to the mediator
over the way, and in fact to all those of
like turn of mind is to still those facile pens
and not be ''wasting their sweetness on the
desert air." as in were, sin tanning into flame
the smouldering embers of sectional animos-
ity," at least at this the most unpropitious
period in the county's history, for the utter
ance of such nonsense is the veriest bosh, as
is perfectly plain to every intelligent person,
as those tissues" will never be agtated to
any great extent, except it be in that part of
the county to which the mediator owes so
much "slack allegience." think the people
to II unit in this end of the county are willing
to let well enough alone, but if forced into a
controversy over the "issues' over which
those "battles' are to be fought sin the near
future" why, they will rise to a man, un-
sheath their swords, brighten up their shields
and march to the front with the avowed pur-
pose of repulsing the mediator and his col
leagues with such an irreparable loss that
nothing short of the definition of that good
word) will give the most meager idea of the
state of affairs as they will exist over the
way, when the ranks shall have been CLOSED
up and traitors driven beyond the lines"
