"A political mesting at which the politics of
Brown county were to have been ssyentilatedu
was held in the school house this friday even
ing, but whatever "ventilating'' was done was
rather unfavorable to the would-be ventilators.
j. D. Mason of Bath, the notorious assessor Of
last year and BY his own showing professional
politician, DIR. Grant of Bath, w. Il. johnson Of
Warner and Major Howe of Aberdeen were the
speakers. Mr. Mason told us before the meet
ing that he could not vote the entire speople's''
ticket, and he spoke in favor Of only three can
didates, viz: Treasurer, register of deeds and
superintendent Of schools. The burden Of DIR.
Grants uttsrances was bitter vituperation ;of
the regular ticket, without any attempt to show
thas his ticket was gotten up in any fairer man
ner. MIR. johnson spoke for about i've minutes
only, and we viii wager our head against foot
ball that he votes against Gordon and Ringrose.
Major Howe of Aberdeen closed the exercises in
his grandiloquent, spread-eagle manner, but we
are fres to confess that we failed to grasp the
gist Of his remarks. His tribute to the qualiGca-
tions Of James Ringrose as a hard-banded farmer
was truly pathetic, however, and brought tears
(crocidile) to the eyes of the audience. Just
what was done or undone at thia meeting, in 4
political ssnse, is difficult for, an observer Of
ordinary Intelligence to grasp, but we think the
gentlemen from Bath and Aberdeen might have
preftabIy reserved their eloQuencs Tor more
fruitful field.

In deciding between the two tickets on Tues
day next, tie impartial voter will consider which
Of the two was gotten up in the fairest manner
and which represents the most capable men, and
whether the peoples" movement was conducted
more in spirit Of justice than the regular con-
vention. For our own individual part land We
seek not to influence others) we are az bitter
against this sore-head, democratic, whisksy-ripe
movement yclept the peoples tickef' as ws
were when it first stood in the way Of Legitimate
convention to defeat the REGULAR nominees.
Every citizen Of these parts to whom we spoke
denounced the Aberdeen hckers and wanted to
get up square independent convention, declsr.
ing that the so-called independent move ment
eminating from Aberdeen Wis regular farce.
But that farce afterward gave birth to the
peoples ticket and some think we should
votsforit because we denounced the regular
convention. Not 80. Between two evils WI
chose the least and viii vote the regular ticket,
believing that il, bad as it is, is as Tar superior

posite contingencies can be.

THE RE-DIsTRICTING FRAUD.

When would-be politicians have the
effrontery to say that Aberdeen was in
no way identified with the recent foul
re-districting scheme, whereby Rondell,
Gem, Warner and Newhope were
practically disfranchised, they either
take us for natural born fools or are
SO blinded by their own conceit that
they imagine they can come down a
few days previous to election and, by a
few honied words, smooth over the
snubs and ill-treatment of year
previous.
That the scheme was fathered in
Aberdeen for the purpose of insuring
Cannon's nomination, in return for his
support in the legislative campaign, is
self-evident. In the first place, if our
citizens will notice, the strikers for the
election on Tuesday next are an entire
ly different SET of men from those who
came here during the Legislative cam
paign and promised Warner the COM
missioner. These latter dare not come
here, and SO have sent others.
A year ago, when commissioner
was to Lbe nominated from the Col
uiabia district, Aberdeen refused the
district the right to make the nomina-
ton, arrogating that rightto the coun-
ty convention This year these very
same men made the proposition that
delegates from the third district with
draw from the county convention and
nominate a commissioner, perfectly
understanding that Cannon was to be
the man and knowing that he could
not be nominated in the convention
as whole.
They now tell us that Warner will
have Ga commissioner any way
when The county is divided into five
districts-bnt when It is we will not
have Aberdeen or any other one town
to thank for the Office. They also tell
us that it is the will of the people that
there be ive commissioners. Well it
may be now, since the late gerryman-
dering, but that it was not before is
evident from the fact that petitions
put in circulation three weeks before
Cannon's corp dc etat failed to obtain
signatures enough to ease even Cam
mons conscience in making the move.
The outrage has been perpetrated,
and not even the honied words Of
silvery- y-tongued Aberdeenites can gloss
it cser or hide its hideousness.

THE .pE0PLE,S, TICKET.

lne SO-calleu liluepenuenG COnVen-
ton held last week at Columbia turns
out to have been even a greater farce
than we pictured it last week. But
little pretense at representation was
made and the entire proceedings we're
transacted in the interests of the few
democrats of the county, without even
the claim of having it otherwise. The
chairman elected, G. S. Swift, is a
dyed-in-the-wool democrat, and the
secretary chosen, VIM. McMaster, is
also the secretary of the democratic
district organization. True to his po-
litical training, the secretary called one
of the delegates a liar while business
was in progress. Now for a look at
the nominations
First, for district attorney, we have
M. j. Gordon, a man whose capabilities
as lawyer and brilliant attainments
as q speaker are well known through
out the entire county, but whose daily
and nightly associates and whose habits
had better be left to the imagination
than described in respectable company.
While it may be urged that Mr.. Cor
don's associates should have some voice
in the selection of prosecuting attorney,
they being of class who furnish
business for that office, we should not
lose sight of the fact that the welfare
of the county and its respectable citi-
zens demand theelection of some person
for attorney who is unidentified with
gamblers, drunkards and the like.
The time will come IN Brown county
when these latter will not even have
the privileges which they now enjoy,
and the pruning hook cannot be used
4
too soon.
Next in order comes James Ringrose
for sheriff. Mr. Ringrose is proprietor
of the Sherman house, Aberdeen, and
while counted a genial, whole-souled
fellow enough is not exactly in that
kind of business which is most re-
spected by law-abiding citizens. Were
it a game Of draw-poker, instead of
a political contest, Jim would doubt
less come out first best, but as it is his
politics alone would defeat him, he
being democrat of the most out
spoken kind, and surely Brown county
can elect republican sheriff.
OF S. g. Hedger, nominee for reg
lister Of deeds, we know nothing, and,
in fact, ninety.nine out Of every hum
dred voters in the county are in sim
liar happy state Of ignorance. But,
as grapes cannot glow from thorns
nor figs from thistles," Mr.. Hedger
cannot beI great exception from the
rest,ofr the ticket.
The candidate for superintendent Of
j. W. Brewster, may be a
good manAlwe know naught to the
contary--but certainly he is in very
poor company. AT any rate the citi-
zensof Brown county cannot afford to
dispense with the services Of Mr.. Jones,
the present incumbent, to whose efforts
we largely oweour excellent educational
facilities. 81,

How to Make Cheese DigestibIe.

Cheese IS among our most nutritious
foods. 1t contains many elements for
sustaining life, and people who can eat
it find it nourishing and healthful; but
everybody "a not a cheese. Men
who live in the open air and work hard
can digest it; but the great bulk OF
people, who live and work indoors. can
only partake of it a a relish at the end
of a dinner. or rs an accompaniment to
their dessert of pie; yet twenty pounds
of cheese contains as much nutritious
material rs a sheep of sixty pounds in
weight. and has the same value as prao-
teal nutriment if it could be easily di-
gested. A distinguished English chem.
list suggests a remedy for the indigest-
Utility of cheese. 1t is to add the BIZ
carbonate of potass to cheese. He pre-
pares the dish as follows: Cut the
cheese into shreds, CRATE or chop 1t up
fine. like suet- To every pound of cheese
add q quarter of an ounce of bi-carbonate
of potass. Put the resulting mixture
into a saucepan with three times its
bulk of water. or four times its bulk Of
cold milk, and mix well. Put the
saucepan on the fire and let the mixture
simmer, stirring all the time until the
cheese is melted. which does not take
long. Turn out into q dish, and
the result is a nutritious mixture,
which thickens like q custard in COOL
ing. This cheese-custard may be eaten
with impunity by persons whom a
small piece of ordinary cheese would
sicken. Cheese treated in this way is
recommended for sea voyages. to be
used instead of salt junk. 1t prevents
scurvy. and is a great saving in bulk
compared with other food. 1t is the
absence of the potass from the ordinary
cheese as well as salt junk which
makes them Observation-Disclosures

The Work Of the Law and Order
League.

No Temperance movement has ever
gained such hearty sympathy from all
good citizens as the Law and Order
movement. Having for its aim not the
propagation of any peculiar Temper
ance views. but simply the enforcement
of law. 1t appeals to the judgment and
conscience of all men who believe that
regard for law lies at the basis of social
order. 1t finds sympathy with all ave
the extreme Prohibitionists, who be-
lieve that all license law is a sin and
ought not to be upheld. While we be-
lieve a PrOhibitory law to be the only
rational method of restraining the liq-
uor traffic. good reasons exist to urge
the strict enforcement of a License law
when it is on the statute books. The
general reason that law should be re-
spected may be passed overfor the con-
sideratiOn of the special reasons for the
sxpediency Of compelling liquor dealers
to regard the law.
In the first place, the Law and order
movement practically units all good
citizens against the liquor traffic. 1t is
a well-known fact that on the question
Of license or no license the votes of
many OF the most intelligent and up
right men are cast On the side of the liq-
O interest. When the question of
maintaining the law is brought to them
their vote is found on the side of Law
and Order. the side of Temperance.
The result is that instead of having two
parties arrayed against each other, the
License and the Prohibitory, each con
tanning good citizens. We have two new
parties with u sharply-drawn line he
tween them. On one side the law abid-
ing. Oil the other the lawless. The lia-
quor interest is thus plainly shown to
be what it really is, the lawless element
In society.
Furthermore, so far as License law is
enforced. so far it is prohibition. Only
the prohibitory clauses in a License law
are the effective clauses. The enforce
ment of the Sunday law prohibits for
n day out of seven. The enforce
ment of the Night law prohibits for six
hours out of the twenty-four. The en-
forcement of the law regarding minors
prohibits the sale to all under twenty
one years Of age.
