the strongest that the average man is
possessed of; and desire for personal
gain influences TO great extent his
political actions. hence. people reason
that those selfish instincts lead him to
indemnity himself with that political or
ganization which is in power, and which
has, IN consequence, political favors to
dispense. And, according to the popu-
lar verdict generally rendered in such
cases, the man who leaves the minority
and seeks political utilization with the
party in power, is influenced by corrupt,
or to say the least, selfish motives;
while he who forsakes the organization
that controls governmental affairs and
government patronage and goes over to
the minority, is influenced by unswerv-
ing principles and by the purest feelings
OF lofty patriotism; when, in fact. it is
more than probable that he is only a
disappointed sorehead. His selfish in
stincts have made him brood over his
political disappointments and feel sore
over Lis defeats; hence, not being able
to secure what he wanted of the party
which had the power to gratiiiy his am
bition. he suddenly becomes man of
too lofty principles to longer associate
with the corrupt party in power. The
party out of power has no soreheads,
and in that immunity rests its strength.
There can be no such thing as sore
head in its ranks, for as if by magic his
wounds are healed the moment he en-
tiers its portals, and he is transformed
into superior being who ''cares more
for his country than he does for his
party The Democratic party will
step into power on the 4th of March
next. Hundreds of thousands of its vo-
taries, without regard to their fitness or
qualifications, are waiting to be reward
ed for their political services; and that
party which rid itself of that class of
men when 1t went out of power twenty
four years ago, will commence to cult
vate. its inevitable crop of soreheads,
and the yield will be very large, if not
satisfactory. Where'one man goes over
into its ranks with a hope of political
gain, hundred soreheads, as has been
the case with the Republican party,
will suddenly discover that the party in
power is corrupt, and, in the role of
patriots, too pure and good to uphold
corruption, will wreak vengeance on the
party which dared to ignore their claims
and their services. Soreheadism is the
curse of American politics. Its ravages
are confined to the party in power;
and the Democratic party need not ex-
pect immunity from such an attack of
the disease as will leave It's ranks deci-
mated and in poor condition to go into
the great battle, four years hence.

What WIN the HARVEST NE.

For the first time since 1856, the Dem
ocratic party has gained a National
victory and elected President of the
United States. There is no Disgusting
the fact that the people of the Northern
states generally are anxious TO know
what is to be the outcome of the change;
and this feeling is shared by hundreds
OF thousands of people who voted the
Democratic ticket, and who claim allie
glance to that party. The highest COM
pliment that party going out of power
could receive, is contained in the assur-
ances of Democratic leaders of the
North, that everything will run along
Just the same as it has, and there will
be no change in the general policy of
the government" They find it necess-
airy to make these assurances to allay
anxiety and conservative Democrats
are hoping that it may be SO. The very
small margin by which they have won
In the contest, and the knowledge of the
fact, that they have won at all, only, as
1t were, by an accident-if we may be
permitted to refer to the Rev. Burchard
as an accident-will have a tendency TO
restrain the cooler-headed leaders of
the party from going to excuses; and
we do not anticipate that they will Sc
riously attempt to carry out the policies
laid down in their platform of 1868, to
wipe out from the Statutes the, to them,
obnoxious legislation, made necessary
by the changes brought about by the
war. But they will only be restrained
from doing so, by fear of being hurled
from power in the Presidential election
four years hence. In this fear, alone,
rests the safety of the country, and on
knowledge of that fear, conservative
Democrats of the North, base their
hopes OF the Democratic party carrying
out the policies of the Republican party
The hope of the conservative element.
which constitutes majority of the DEM
ocratic party in the Northern states. is
that the real policies of the Democratic
party, as laid down in former National
platforms, will not be carried out; and
this hope is to great extent sustained
by the knowledge that very small mi
nority of the party, in Congress, with
the assistance of the Republican mem
bers of that body, can defeat any rash
measures that the Democratic majority
may attempt 10 pass Members of a
victorious political party hoping that
that party may be restrained from car
rying out its policies, and basing that
' hope upon the power of their political
opponents to restrain them, is a strange
anomaly in politics in this country.

childhood until old age is succeeded by
the grave, one is often at ones wits
end to know what to do under given
set of circumstances, and those circum-
stances are invariably puzzling. The
whining school boy with his satchel and
shining morning face, creeping like a
snail unwillinglv to school, is at his
wits end to know how to master his
lesson. The youth is at his wits end
to know what business profession or
ayocation 10 follow. The lover is at
his wits end TO know whether the lady
of his love returns bis ardent attach

bis wits end to know how he is going
to make both ends meet. The father is

to train up his children in the way they

Petitions were presented to the State
Board of Supervision to relieve the
county of the support of each of said
patients, and to refund to it the money
paid to the state for their support.
These proceedings were commenced
during the year 'S3. but the judgments
of the Board were not obtained till
April, june and July 1891.
The said Board granted the relief
prayed for in the cases of Elizabeth
Grisesel, Henry Schiensney. Jacob Gents
Withelmiua Biertumpfel, and Celia Dol
phin, ordered them to be charged to the
State at large, and further ordered that
GrantCo. have credit for the sum of S90l.-
81, money paid to the state for the sup
port of said patients as aforesaid.
George G Newell died before the hear
ing. As to him the proceedings were dis
missed because it would have cost more
TO procure the dispositions than had
been paid to the state for his support
The real object in his case was to get
rid of nonresident patient who might
have lived twenty years.
The State Board refused to grant the
relief prayed for in the cases of Foster,
Ring, Richards, Pedro and Moran.
From the several orders in the eases
of Foster, Ring. Richards and Pedro an
appeal was taken TO the Circuit Court
OF this county, and judgment OBJ
tanned in each case at the last Septem-
Der term of said court, that these
patients were not residents of Grant
County at the time of their commitment
to the State Hospital
In the case of Moran, of Plattevile, the
judgment of the State Board was not
appealed from because frem facts that
came to light grave doubts arose wheth-
er under the rule established in some
counties his residence had not been
changed to Piatteville by his mother
during his minority, and had not been
subsequently changed BY himself. The
appeal can be taken at any time before
April next if deemed advisable
Copies of these judgments were i'm
mediately served upon the State Board;
but Grant County has not yet received
the credit for Sl320.36, nor have these
four patients been formally charged TO

EepOrt of Col, John q. Clark,

We were unable to get the following
report of Col John G. Clark, late Chair
man of the old Committee on the Insane,
in time to publish it with the balance of
the proceedings of the County Board of
Supervisors last week.
Mr.. RoDoLF, of the committee on In
sane submitted the following report from
Col. John G. CLARK, late Chairman of
the old Committee on Insane:
To tie honorable Board ot Supervisors.
The Chairman of the committee on
the Insane respectfully reports that pur-
suant To instructions he enquired into the
residence of the insane who are charge
upon Grant County, and petitioned the
State Board of Supervision TO correct
the account of Grant County at the
State Hospital, and relieve it of the sup
port of certain insane persons, and sub
NIT sthe following summary of such ex-
animation and proceedings
On such examination it appeared that
James Foster, George Ring. Charles
Richards, John Pedro, Elizabeth Grse-
sci, Henry Schinsner, Wilhelmine Bier
tumpfel, Celia Dolphin, and Charles
Francis Moran, in the State Hospital at
Mendoza were not residents of Grant
County at the time of commitment, and
that Jacob Gents and George G. Newell
who had been transferred from the
State Hospital TO the County Asylum
were not residents of Grant County at
the time of commitment to the State
Hospital, and that Katharine Kotr and
Joanna Gaeber in the County Asylum
were not residents of Grant County.
The Statutes provide for the correction
OF errors in the accounts between the
counties and the state in the State Hos
pital, and also for the correction of err
rors by charging patients to the state or
the proper county where mistake has
been made, and for refunding to coun-
ties moneys that have been enormously
paid to the state; but it does not provide
for refunding to counties money disburs-
ed in caring for patients prior TO their
delivery at the State Hospitals.
Catharine Kotr and James Gaebler
had never been in the State Hospital,
but had been committed to the
County Asylum. On application and
the filing of proper proofs they were
transferred to the State Hospital and
received as charges againFt the state at
large.
