We understand that some of the re-
publicans i'm the east end of the county
are disappointed and feel somewhat
aggrieved that west-end man was
nominated for Commissioner. 1t seems
to us that there is hardly grounds for
such feeling. Suppose line to be
drawn through the county from the
middle of the north side to the middle
of the south side, and it would be found
that considerably more than half Of the
wealth and considerably more than
half of the population of the county
would lie on the west side of that line.
Yet both of the commissioners at pres
ent serving, live east of such line.
Suppose Moran man had been nom-
mated and elected: would it not have
been little bit one sided? 1t seems to
us that the west side of the county, in
Guiding Humboldt, lola, Geneva and
Carlyle townships, are rightfully ell.
titled to at least one of the three COM
missioners.

A NEW HAND AT THE BELLOWS.

Editor Register:-As your columns
seem to. he open to all I would like to
come in for the purpose of asking Bro.
Miller a few questions. The way he
piles on agony and pastures about that
:shaptism of fire" and that "storm Of
shot and shell' one would think he
had seen all there was of it.
Now, if Bro. Miller had been with
YOUR humble correspondent at Stone
River, Lookout Mountain, Chicka-
manga, Mission Ridge, Resaca, Allan
Ia, and all the way through with Sher-
man until Johnson's surrender, my
opinion is he would have seen many
good men fall, and yet l don't remem-
Der of seeing any one Of them laid in
SIS coffin. Nor do I remember
of seeing any one run 70 a dry
goods store and get a new suit of
clothes to bury them in.
No, they were buried just as they
fell, in what remained of their tattered
blue uniform, and does Bro. Miller
think they were not as good as those
who die now and are buried at the ex-
pense of the county or state? Does he
believe that he who is buried in rich
coffin, pleated shirt front, Derby hat
and tooth pick shoes will make any
better appearance in the resurrection
than he who was buried in the blue
He says there is no accounting for
tastes, but that an S. or $40 coffin is not
good enough for him. Now, have
made and furnished collins nearly all
my life and So or $40 is all ever
charged for charged for good walnut
collins and consider them worth twO
of his fine stained ones.
Now. Mr.. Editor, Bro. Miller's 10y
atty, Charity and Fraternity puts me
in mind Of the case of patriotism which
Orphus G.. Kerr diagnosed. Said he
at always breaks ont in the mouth
and works downward to the heart,
causing that organ TO swell perceptibly
from there it goes downward, but as
soon as it reaches the patients pocket
it disappears leaving the man very
constitutional" Bro. Miller's disease
commenced at the pocket and worked
up, but whether it touched the heart
or not is not known, but it has broken
out terribly at the mouth. 1t is al
ways the wounded bird that flutters
"and that's what's the matter"
Yours for true economy,
l. r Kerry.

ASIDE from the loss which would be

ASIDE from the loss which would be
suffered by individual citizens, a worse
disaster could not occur to our county
as a whole, than to have the railroad
titles to all the lands now in dispute
declared null and void. It would
bankrupt the county, for. the simple
reason that there would not be taxable
property enough remaining TO sustain
our current expenses. 1t must be re-
membered that homesteads are not
taxable until they are proved up.
This cannot be done in less than five
years, while the time may be extended
TO seven years. Suppose that all the
railroad titles are declared void. The
remaining land in the county could not
be sold for the taxes it would be requir-
ed to pay. Suppose Judge Brewers
deision is sustained. The withdrawal
of the 1900 acres affected thereby
from the assessment rolls, would take
5000 every year from cur income, at
y
mere bagatelle compared to the thous-
ands Of acres involved in other suits.
Cannot the leaguers themselves see
that even they cannot afford this:
How are they going to support the
schools they have been SO liberal in es-
tablishing: 1t is easy to be liberal in
voting taxes which somebody else has
to pay, but they will find it different
matter to raise money by taxing their
own personal property. We may be
wrong, but this seems to us to be a very
serious matter. As remarked i'm the
beginning, it involves more than the
rights or losses of private individuals.
1t involves the welfare, almost the
very existence of our whole county. I'll
we are looking at it too seriously we
should be glad to be corrected. We
should be especially glad to grant space
to any member of the League, who

OUR HORTICULTURAL HONOR.

The REGISTER has been correct here
tofore, so far as it went, in recording
the triumphs of the Horticultural SOci-
ETY., but it did not go far enough.
From Mr.. VanDeman, who returned
from Kansas City last Saturday, we
learned that the following premiums
were taken: At Bismarck, first premi-
UNI on general display; s first and 4
second premiums on special plates.
These Il premiums were taken on 16
entries.) At Kansas City, End premi-
UNI on general display; Il first and 3
second premiums for special plates.
Thirty-one premiums in all, amounting
to nearly 5000, net. Parts of these items
have been already published, but we
are proud enough of them to keep them
''standing" for month if necessary.
If there was ever any question wheth-
err the Horticultural Society should be
encouraged and supported, it is certain
ly no longer question, because it has
proven itself abundantly worthy of sup
port. 1t has advertised the county
more during its short existence than
any other organization the county has
ever had.
Mr.. VanDeman tells lis that our dis
play would certainly have taken the
first premium at Kansas City, had not
its main competitor purchased from
New York, a hundred varieties of pears
and entered them. This seems to us to
be very scurvy and dishonest trick,
but Mr.. V. says it was done openly,
and that the judges and the other ex-
hibitors all admitted that it was the
only thing that kept the first premium
from going to Allen county. Mr.. Van
Deman sold his fruit at the close of the
exposition for So, and after paying all
expenses, the Society will be about
$4,000 ahead Oh its venture.
