/ Editors DAILY VIEWS.
GENTLEMEN: My attention has been
called to the article in THE NEWS of
March 5th, titled Taxation"
In your opening you refer tony motive
in writing to the Rural Californian. An
swer: My motive or yours, my intention
or yours is not of the slightest interest to
the public. trust the facts may be suf-
ficient for your meditation. To your
complaint Of the range, THAT is that I
sent this to a California paper the an
swer is, I mailed in the San Mateo post
Office similar charges to the county paper
in November, 1888, [ think. ITO the
statement, ''but for Col. COdringtons
thoughtful regard for our good name not
one citizen of the county would have
known of the accusations" [ reply:
Judge Harrison was acting clerk for the
board of county commissioners October
2, 1888. That day the same charge was
made and personally addressed to the
county commissioners and tax assessor
in his (Harrison's) presence and in the
presence Of a large number Of witnesses:
and figures from the tax books fully
quoted in proof Of the fact that in this
precinct the politics of the owner We're
considered in appraising the value of
property, both real and personal. This
charge was repeated over and over again
and so pointedly that one commissioner
suggested calling in the sheriff to arrest
this man for contempt. So this state
ment OF yours is simply taffy-soft-soap
for Col. Codrington and an assertion,
which from your own personal krowl-
edge you We're bound to know was false.
The above facts are a full answer to your
charge that I have ''vilifed county Off
cials, leaving them no opportunity for
defense"
You kindly point out my duty ''to face
jury Of my peers < to obtain
justice for all" respectfully decline to
play the part Of the fool in farce; if my
memory is not at fault, it is barely two
years since q Putnam county grand jury
We're shown that their opinion of the in
competency of an assessor had not the
weight of a straw with our excellent gov
ernor. Does your late experience as a
reformer in another field justify you in
giving me this advice? have read the
fable OF the short tailed fox, I trust, with
profit. You say, we know whereof we
speak when we say that Mr.. LyIes in
situations as to the political favoritism
of our board are in our opinion wholly
false I answer, what you know and
can prove by ''facts and figures" will
have due weight; your opinion is Of not
the least consequence.

No Fear of Negro Equality.

New York Times.
In fact, the right of a man to choose
his own associates is absolute and COM
plete as any right can be, and a Caucasian
will, as rule, select his associates from
members of his own race. If he exer-
cises his unquestionable right of select
ing Africans, he must take the conse-
Quences of being dropped by his Cauca-
sian acquaintances. These consequences
are so much more powerful to deter him
than the charms of African society are
to allure him that there is no occasion at
all for the alarm which sensitive South
erners occasionally manifest lest negro
equality should come to mean anything
more than equality before the law.

Political problems are sometimes as
hard to get over as the pons asinorum in
Euclid. Here is one fitted to puzzle any
outside republicans: IF Arthur does not
stand chance Of carrying New York be-
cause of the bitter hatred between the
half breeds and stalwarts how can Blaine
be certain of carrying New York in the
face Of the bitter hatred between the
stalwarts and half breeds? And if it is
sure to be tweedledum when a stalwart
runs, why is it not certain to be tweedle-
dee when a half breed runs?
The Pretence Of the Free Traders.
Memphis Avalanch
The pretense Of the free traders that
the farmers increased income is offset by
a corresponding increase of expenditure
is false in fact. The very reverse of this
proposition is true, viz: That all the aids
to production are abundant in thriving
and prosperous districts and scarce in
those where a worker produces less than
5000 per annum or else absent altogether.
Hence the net income Of the farmer in
the manufacturing districts is not only
greater, but it is often more than the
gross income of the farmer in the eXclu-
sive agricultural districts.

SWAN LAKE HEARD FROM.

1t is well that events of public i'm
portance, affecting the welfare of
people, should be recorded on the
pages of history while they are yet fresh
in the memory of those who participa-
ted therein.
The Herald has already informed its
readers of the action taken by the board
of county commissioners at its last ses-
sion, wherein they divided the county
into five commissioner districts and ap-
pointed two additional commissioners
to represent the two districts which
they had created.
Inasmuch as the legality of the action
taken by them at that time is not-and
cannot be--questioned or criticised, that
aspect of the case will not be here con-
sidered. / think it may be safely stated
without fear of contradiction, that the
only objections raised against the action
4 taken by the county commissioners
are:
1st. The impolicy of dividing TN
county into five commissioners district:
at this time, on account of the extra eN
pense the paying of two additional com
missioners would entail on the county
| ID. The way IN which they-th
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1884-01-24

This subdivision was supported by
numerously signed petition gotten up
in Parker This longitudinal arrange
ment was rendered necessary to carry
into effect the Parker idea of including
Hurley in its district, which by running
to the northern boundary of the county
would give Parker such preponder-
ance of voting power that Hurley |
would sink into utter insigniticance.
This plan would also give Parker the |
new commissioner, which contingency
had also been foreseen and wisely pro-
vided for in the aforesaid petition with
Gus Gilbert for commissioner. The var
nish on this was entirely too thin, and
the Hurleyite: at once saw through it
and objected to being made the tail of
the Parker kite. The Hurley petition
was presented and was backed by a
delegation that filled the housc-men
who knew their rights and were not
bashful in asserting them. They asked
for district containing three and one
half townships, about the exact area
each district is entitled to, and contain
ing about an equal proportion of voting
population. After consuming an un=
warrantablc amount of valuable time
in the discussion of the question the
commissioners ordered the house cleared,
and proceeded themselves to make the
division, allowing no further discus
sion. After agreeing upon the division
the doors were reopcned and the result
announced. Centcrville had been
awarded three townships, Hurley three,
Parker four Marion tour, and Childs-
town four, all the commissioners voting
for this division except Mr., Roper, who
favored cutting slice from the Hurley
district and attaching it to that of Par
ker Thus the attempt on the part Of
the Parker ring to control the admins
tration of the affairs of the county in
its own interest proved abortive, and
forcibly illustrated the truth of Burns,
that "The best laid plans of mice and
, men gang aft aglee.''
The appointment of commissioners
for the new districts being then in
, order, Joseph Allen of Hurley and A
, w. Bacon of Spring Valley were ap,
pointed. These appointments being
| made on the petition of the people OF
each district, the choice Of the people
{ was respected and the appointments
3 give general satisfaction. Yours fol
fair play, a GRANGER.

ARGUS.
FROM THE WEST.

TO the Editor of the Turner County
Herald-Dear Sir: Ihave often thought
what blessed thing liberty is--liberty
Of thepress, where everybody is allowed
to express his opinions freely, especially
as to the acts OF those whom we select
to be our public servants. The official
acts of public men are public property;
the servant is not above his master, but
is responsible to him for all he does,
and if servant fails to carry out the
wishes of his master he can throw him
aside as we grangers do machine that
does not perform the work it is intend
ed for. But granting this, does it nee
essarily follow that every one who fails
to obtain official sanction for every
scheme that he may desire to enrich
himself at the expense of the pnblic,
should have a license to abuse and
threaten with political death and judg-
ment the officer who has sworn to do
his duty, andhas faithfully and consci-
entiously performed the service for the
best interests Of the whole people. 1t
is the duty of the public press to hold up
| the hands of the faithful servants CT
the people, that right. and honest gov
ernment might prevail; and not allow
the power it possesses for good to be
degraded into filthy channel, through
which any corrupt and disappointed
faction may hurl its vile abuse against
the officer, who has the honor, manhood
and moral courage to do his duty.
Our county commissioners have re-
Gently been called upon to perform
some official acts out of the line Of their
regular duties. 1t seems that our legis-
lature, at its last session, during lucid
interval, actually found time to con-
slider the interests of the dear people,
and, by law for that purpose, allowed
counties to increase the representation
on their board of commissioners from
three to five members. This in my
opinion was wise act; and when the
petition to carry out such a purpose was
presented to me readily signed it a:
