Some of the prominent members of
the League have claimed to us and to
others that they thoroughly disapprov-
ed of land-jumping and other lawless
actions that have been perpetrated in
this county. We do not doubt this in
the least. But why don't they do one
of two things: why don't they either
summarily crush out this lawless spirit
i'm the League, or else abandon the organ
izaton? If the lawless element of the
League is the controlling element, as
certainly appears at present, then
there is no room in it for respectable
and law abiding citizens, and why
they continue to give it their moral
and financial support is something We
can not understand.

THE ASSESSORSHIP.

The Tuscarora Times Review,
whose editor was a member of the
Legislature which passed the bill
extending the terms Of County
Assessors, and voted against the
bill, has this to say on the subject
I'm some of the counties in the
State the proposition to run ca ndi.
dates for Assessor is being dis
cussed. It is proposed to elect
new men and let them test the law
enacted by the last Legislature, ex-
tending the term of the present
Assessors two years beyond the
time for which they were elected.
While the Times Review was op-
posed to the passage Of the bill, and
the writer of this voted and spok e
against it in the Legislature, it is
nevertheless our belief that any
attempt to defeat it in the courts
would prove futile, and that it
would be a waste of time and money
for any candidate to run for Office
with the expectation of getting
possession Of it by means Of litiga-
ton. The Office is not a constitu
tional one. It was created by the
legislature and that body has ful!
and absolute contru! over it. 1t
could. if it chose, abolish it alto
gether, or it could enact a law Civ
ing itself the power to make the
appointments for every countyin the
State. Under our present Const!-
tuition, the Legislature Of 1889
could extend the term of the As
SCISSORS elected for four years in
1886, two years longer, making six
altogether, the only restriction be-
ing the constitutional clause which
forbids any State or County officer
being elected or appointed for
longer term than four years. This
il not, as might appear at first
blush, paradoxical, for, the As
SCISSOR having then served two years
the Legislature could extend the
term 50 long as it did not lengthen
it beyond the prescribed four years
from the date of the enactment
This is not possible, but We cannot
why it is not as possible
as that the last Legislature should
have extended the term Of the
present officers from two years to
four. This is one of the beauties (?)
of the present Constitution, and
the only method by which the peo-
pie can ensure themselves against
similar legislative proceedings in
the future, is by a Constitution

THE PlsIMA KIES.

As the time arrives for holdius
County Primaries the usual dis
cussion arises as to the fairest man
ner Of holding them. From pres
ent appearances candidates threat.
en- to be as thick as leaves, and
where so many interests are to be
considered the usual clash and
worry may reasonably be expected.
A primary election is a delicate
thing to handle, but everything
goes well SO long as an open and
a fair field is given each and every
sspirant for a county Office. A
man who is fairly beaten cannot
consistently object to his defeat
nor will he, as Il rule, be upheld by
his friends if he refuses to grace
fully accept the results of the con
test. BY making the primaries as
open and above the suspicion Of
jobbery as possible and by favoring
all alike, the incentive and excuse
for subsequent kicking is tolerably
we'll removed. A fair and honest
primary more than wins the battle
to be fought in the general elec-
ton. A corrupt and jobbing pri-
mary divides the forces, breeds
discomfort and engenders bitter
ness Of feeling, which is bound to
result in dead loss Of votes.
There is one thing that should be
borne in mind that each and every
candidate has a right to run a
ticket on his own behalf at the
primaries, and he need not neces-
sarially be bound by any combina-
ton who may select ticket. The
machinery of a primary is such
that any man who chooses may
grab a lever and work all day for
his own benefit There is room
for everybody and the ballot box
will be open all day. All good
citizens should be ready to partici-
pate in the struggle. Remember
thai sitting in your house all day
aud kicking all the next week, be. |

Forty years ago no man with a

those days the moustache was con-

and man who sported one was

of many good people. Less than
thirty years ago a great party at

Two Great Storms.

San Frcncisco. CAL, Oct. 2o.-
The following further particulars of
the disastrous storms on the coast of
Lower California were learned this
morning. The news was brought
here by the captain Of the steamer
Newbern from Guaymas. He says
the steamer Estado de Sonora left
Mazatlan September 20. The storm
broke out the following day. 1t
ragged with such terrific fury that the
Estado was unable to put back. 1t
is supposed she rolled over and went
down with fifty-seven souls aboard.
Nothing was ever afterwards heard
of passengers or crew. On Octo-
Der "A the Newbern passed a large
quantity of wrecked stuff near the
entrance of the Cult Of California.
Among it was pilot house with
band attached. A lot of brass work
had been picked up by natives of
San Jose island. They had stripped
off all the wood part and burned it,
leaving only the brass work. There
were no marks on anv of these, but
it is believed they were all from the
wrecked steamer. Some brass work
was sent to Guaynas for the pur-
pose of identifying it. The Estado
was commanded by Capt. Rhode.

In Haste To Be Rich.

The desire to accumulate is laud-
able one. The youth who saves his
earnings, or portion OF them stands
higher in the estimation of the bet
ter sort of people than the one who
spends every cent he can get hold of.
1t is less difficult tor him to obtain
employment. Find boy who takes
care of his little income, who keeps
an account at the savings bank and
who is constantly adding to the
amount on deposit, and he will re
quire no letter of Recommendation.
ANY man who needs help will give
him a place and will not be afraid to
let him have access to his money
drawer. AS a rule, IT is safe to trust
a boy or young man who has an in
clnation to save. He can in Il vast
majority OF cases be relied on.
So the habit of saving is a good
one. Those who contract it in early
life will generally become rich; that
is, they will have something ahead.
They will have assets sufficient
to meet all liabilities, and
handsome balance. Every
man OF tins stamp is rich
man, whether he IS rated $4,000,
Sroo, 900 or ST. 900, 900. The am
bltion to be rich, that is, to be indie
pendent pecuniarily, is proper one.
1t would be we'll were it shared by
larger number of persons. We wish
everybody was forehanded and 'hA
there were no poor people. 1t
seems to us that every able-bodied.
healthy man or woman ought to be
selt-sustaining, and we believe more
might be it inclined TO make the CT
fort.
But there is no good reason why
the individual who has set out To he
rich should be IN particular ha@'s-
Life we know. is short. and tor tss:
reason there is M need OF hurrying-

should have S25o,oOo to be called
rich; and in others he would have to
possess $1,000, 900. So the term
lacks defniteness. A man worth
or ten millions would be es-
teemed rich by some persons, but
w. IT. Vanderbilt and Jay Gould
would probably not SO regard them.
In truth, there are few persons so
we'll fixed" IN life that there are
not those IN better shape, that is,
having greater possessions. The
man who owns two railroads IS more
of fellow than the owner of a sim
gle road; while the proprietor OF
a dozen should be we'll up among
the men of substance.
And vet it is not large possessions
that make men rich. A man may
have a great deal OF money Or other
property and vet be poor. He feels
poor and he can not be made to un-
derstand that he is not poor. A man
may be better off than any of those
around him; he may have the means,
of gratifyin. every rational wish !;
vet his pecuniary condition distress
es him, and he cannot be made TO
feel that there is not danger that he
may some day come to want. A
rich man is the one who has enough
10 satisfy his reasonable desires, who
has hosts of friends who esteem him
for his estimable qualities, and who
is contented with his lot. What
does he care whether other people
have more money o. goods or lands
than he: He has enough and is sat
isfiesi, he IS rich. If there are any
who have an ambition to become
like him, 10 be rich III the way he Is
rich, the desire ought to be eratified
and there should, perhaps, be nc
| complaint of haste. The more suef
men there are the better. II is al
most certain that they would make +;

people may understand the facts. A
plan has been put to practical test here
by which the heaviest item of a students
expens es-board - has been materially
reduced. Students and faculty are alike
satisfied with the working of the sys-
TEN. 1t is something of an achievement
thus to cheaper the college course and
so bring it within the means of those
who might otherwise be compelled to
remain away. The University perhaps
has some advantages as compared with
Middlebury; but, on the other hand, we
believe the latter is in some points
superior to the University. Both col
leges have done good work in the past,
and there is no reason why they should
not both enjoy fair share of prosperity
in the future. But the University will
not gain in students or reputation if it
employs an agent who lies about other
institutions.

Blaine's Work.

The first volume of that great national
work, " Twenty Years of Congress" by
Hon. James G. Blaine is published. and
will be delivered to subscribers here the
present week. Nothing has been written
for twenty years which has created so
universal an interest as has this work.
We have failed to see an adverse criti-
cism upon it as an impartial and unpar-
tisan history. The press with one ac-
cord laud it to the skies-Blaine and an
ti-Blaine, Republican and Democratic,
all unite in placing it above criticism. and
in recommending it to the careful scruti-
ny and intelligent Judgment of the read
ing public. 1t is not only Il history of
Congress, but combines also history of
our civil war and every political cam
paign that our country has passed
through since the days of Jefferson.
Fifty-seven steel portraits accompany
the work, and the price is so reasonable
as to bring it within the reach of all.
The agent for its sale is now in town and
every one should examine the work and
judge of its merits themselves.

Hon. A. +. WALKER writes a letter to
the Rutland Herald, exploding a story
originally telegraphed to the Boston
Advertiser. 1t was alleged that Col.
Walker wrote to the Vermont delegation
at Washington asking them to get up
letter for presentation to the State con-
vention; that they could not agree to
sign letter drawn up by Congressman
Poland strongly endorsing the Chicago
nominations, and that finally Mr., Polands
letter was sent on signed only by the
writer. The facts are thus stated by Col.
Walker:
Soon after the Chicago convention,
feeling in common with many others CON
siderable disappointment over the result.
l wrote personal letter to Senator Ed
munds, in whose office was at one time
a student, asking advice. He replied as
follows: The evils of a Democratic
Congress and President are so enormous.
