falsely but Mr.. Blaine has not under.
taken to say that he did. On the con-
trary he declared, " would not say that
Mr.. Mulligan falsifes 1 do not want to
say that at ALL" Then Mulligan may
have dreamed that he saw Blaine on his
knees, and heard him utter these words
but that is very unlikely, 1t must be
admitted.
The only plausible argument in favor of
the dream theory, is Blaine's suggestion
that the Mulligan letters would " sink
him Immediately and ruin him forever !"
the fact being that they had not this effect
Mr.. Blaine ascended to the Senate after.
wards. IL is true that they lost him
once or twice the Republican presden'
tial nomination. 1t is also true that
Mr.. Blaine may have miscalculated
their effect, and knowing that they
ought to ruin him, feared that they
would do it, and At once. We think
it altogether likely that tie Mulligan
letters will sink Mr.. Blaine ultimately ;
but they have not been the quick acting
| poison which he anticipated in Mr.. Null
ligan's dream, If it was dream. He
will necessarily have to accuse Mr.. Blaine
of some bad judgment and undue
fear if we conclude that Ir. Mulligan
really heard him utter that prayer. As
Mr.. Blaine has not been free from
| eriorssof judgment and tokens of fear,
| We are permitted to believe that he was
in mortal terror over the effect of the
disclosure Of Mulligan, There was
sufficient ground for his fear. Those
letters are going to punish him. His
newspaper advocates acknowledge theiI
Embellishments by peglecting to print
them. They are monstrous hard tc
swallow. When Mr.. Blaine asked his
organs to print them, it was like giving
stones to those who wanted bread and
they would not indulge in the petrifed
nutriment.

The school Law.
TO the Editor of The Times:

TO the Editor OF The Times:
In an article in the week before
last on the township and schoolslaw,
the writer says there seems.sSA le
considerable dissatisfactio
the school town system, bsl1 5alS'
seemed to be able to- LII OBJ
lection. Now Eam one of shom 1
think the. county l4SS legal
majositk.who think the law an un-
just and unsatisfactory one, and 1
will endeavor to state our ojections.
The law will never give general sat
isfaction in a country as sparsely
settled as Dakota is at present.
Any one who has travelled in Dakota
knows that the country is not uni
formly settled, as in some places.
Each alternate section is railroad
land, and the government land has
been proved up on by young men
who are non-residents, leaving large
tracts Of country without a settler,
while in other places it is quite
thickly settled. Under the district
system, districts can be organized
and school houses built without re-
gard to town lines to suit the loca-
tion, but under the new law in sew
eral instances town lines divided
these settlements requiring the,
building of two school houses where
one would have answered tho same
purpose. And another objection:

# Our body polite is In It's nature
g vast copartne nership or corporation,
and should be considered according.
ly. No competent head Of such an
institution would think Of period
ically discharging all its employees
and reawarding Che positions on thu
ground Of pereonai fayoritism. Yet
this 10 done at each general election.
All the ofices are; thrown, as 3ft
were, into q huge grab bag, shaken
up and drawn therefrom as prizes.
Il an employe of q business firm or
corporation is engaged for definite
period, he will not be sent away at
the expiration OF such period, mere
lys because the term has expired.
His employers will ask, Is there
any reason why he should not re-
main SP,, - ~. 81
They will not inquire ..Is there
any one else who can probably do as
well 2" but Scan we do any better ~
The fact that during his employ
ment, be has had and availed him
self Of the opportunities Of expef-
ience, will not be used as an afgs4
ment for Ills discharge but in favor
Of retaining him. Yet this is the
line of argument that is used against
the reelection Of one Of the most
efficient Of our county officials. EnI
a letter to the Gazette;s correspon-
tient uses a series Of weak, absurd
soplIistries against the reelection Of
the present register of deeds. First
he reproaches Mr.. Ruggles with
having received the emoluments of
the Office, which must amount to
about sixteen thousand dollars.
Now, either Mr.. Ruggles has per-
formed adequate labor for these
emoluments, and is morally and le-
gally entitled to them; or they are
exorbitant and should be reduced.
But on the ground that one has
enjoyed exorbitant emoluments of
an office, to award the same oppor-
tunity to some one else, is simply to
legalize robbery Of the public by a
division of the plumber. While it is
true that claim to Office by birth
right. ought not and will not be
countenanced in a republican gov
ernment, Mr.. Ruggles' claim is by
tested ability and competence.
So it signifies nothing that the
incumbentFe known to be a very
efficient officer and keeps one of the
best sets of books IN hdkcountry,
because there are others who may
be able to do as we'll. Mr.. Mer-
chant, discharge your book-keeper,
whose accounts are models of accur-
acy and neatness. He has xalready
received your YQges eigt ars and
you have fifty Persons among your
acquaintanccs who can be trained
to do as well.
As to the personal quarrels with
the gentleman we have nothing to
do. Or if we have they concern us
only in so far as to justify the infer
ence that if one who is known to be
an efficient and honest official, who
is courteous and gentlemanly to all
who come, in contact with him,
makes enemies among his fellow Of
6cials, we have good reason to in
,quire, what ails the others /?

Solid Logic.
r o the Editor Of The Times

4 " tho ASuAtVr VI lhe lhle6s
"By their fruits ye shall know
them" We have at the present
time in this county a clique Of men
who are candidates for various coun-
ty offices, and a few persons who are
supporting these candidates. Now
Mr.. Editor, this clique Of Office
seekers and .their, small crowd. of
supporters are begging to be elected
to the various offices to which they
aspire, mainly on the gr round that
they are the candidates of the far
mers' convention, and that they are
the fast and firm friends Of the far
mer. Who are these men, and by
what acts have they demonstrated
their great friendship for the far
mers of this county z Chief among
these candidates and their support
ers are j. r. Buxton, 8. H. Snyder,
and the Taylors, Sam and Ben.
Some time ago there was a commits
sion appointed to award damages to
the various farmers across whose
lands the Fargo s. Southern railroad
was built. On that commission.
were Mr.. Taylor and Mr.. Snyder,
and Mr.. Buxton appeared
as attorney for the occa-
sion. When hese men came to
award dama8 to the poor farmers
of this count what did they do !?
Instead Of awarding, to the farmers
a Just compensation for the damage
he had sustained, they, elated by
the hi distinction Of being
naIs is commissioners, at once
bed The servile tools of the rich
rafH Ecompany and awarded the
pod emer less than one half the
dam he had actually sustained.
Anda every instance where the
farmer had the means to appeal
from their unjust and partial
award, an impartial jury Of the
county gave them double the amount
that these commissioners had al
lowed them. And yet these same
men 20 about crying, "ring!''
s.ring!" and boastfully proclaiming
themselves the especial champion Of
the farmers rights. Out upon such
shallow hypocrisy!
Here was an opportunity to do at
least justice toSthe farmer. To ex-
hibit the sincerity of their profess
sions. They took tho part Of the
railroad company in the beginning
and compelled every poor farmer to
undergo the expense and delay of q
lawsuit, or accept their beggarly
award.
This is no electioneering s.roor-
lback.n The records Of the District
Court Of this county will verify
every word herein contained And
now these same men have the con-
summate "gali' to 60 before the cit
LIENS and tax payers whose rights
they trampled upon when vested
with d little authority, and ask for
their. votes election day on the
ground that they are the simon
pure only genuine friends sof the
farmer. Their ptaintiye walls, beg
ring for votes sounds like the voice
Isof Jacob but their hands (thefr,
Iactsl are the hairy paws Of Esau.
They have been tried and found
wanting. Fire them out.
