political. The few persons whose

bondholders themselves or as their at

FACTS as Is FACTS"

Col. VIM. +. Switzler has been ap-
pointed to the very important position
of chief OF the United States bureau of
statistics, vice Nlmmo, removed, at a
salary of $4,000 per annum. There has
been no appointment made by Presi-
dent Cleveland which gratifes the In
t~elligencer more than this one. Col.
Switzler is q veteran journalist, whose
penchant has always been for exact
statistical information, very much as
was that of Horace Greeley. He will
come TO his duties, therefore, especial
ly well equipped to perform them in
telligenty and satisfactorily. His ap-
poinsment will be a gratifying compli-
ment to Missouri journalism, and a
very reasonable reward to a MAJ who
has devoted much of his life to the sue
cess of democratic principles and the
democratic party. Beside all this, Mr..
Cleveland could not have done a more
righteous act than to depose Mr.. MINI
mo, who has been an offensive partisan
if there eve was one in the public SER
vice. Instead Of fairly and impartiaily
collating statistics for general informa-
ton Mr.. Nimmo's bureau has been a
mandatory of republican campaign
thunder, in a degree that has caused
figures to tell the very reverse of facts,
in every instance that it was thought
necessary to do so. Especially has this
been the case in partisan service to the
national banks and to protected mon
opolies. AS we view it, the United
States bureau of statistics belongs to
the whole people; its work should,
therefore, be reduced to an exact science
in the reproduction of Information that
informs, rather than of Information that
misleads; and it is entirely beside it,
duties to manufacture arguments for OF
against political theories Or policies
We believe these views prevail il
Washington City nov for the first tim,
in many years, and we are satisfied
that they will be carried out by Col
Switzler.

THE TOWNSHIP N

In the discussion of the proposition
to compromise the bonds of Lexington,
Washington and Sni-a-Bar townships,
as submitted by Mr.. Skinker, signed
by the various parties in interest, the
Intelligencer has up to this time care
fully abstained from making any argu-
ment in favor of the proposition, and
has vigorously defended what had al
ready been done by the townships as
all that was just and generous.
Until it became certain that the very
lowest possible figure was obtained
from the bondholders we did not deem
it incumbent upon us to make their ar
gument.
Without having in the least changed
our views as to the justice and equity
involved in the question we believe
that the best thing all three of the town.
ships can do, under the circumstances,
is to accept the terms that are offered.
They may be hard, indeed they are
hard Eve were net in the least misled
by Mr.. Skinker's comparisons as to
taxation), but hard as they are, they
are better than the uncertainty which
nov surrounds US.
Mr.. Blackwell in his speech of April
6, said that all legal defenses were ex-
hausted; that all defenses, either in law
or equity, had been by the United
States court formally decided against.
He then remarked, carefully weighing
his words, 81 feel it to be my duty to
state this fact frankly to this meeting
even though it may be a d~isagreeable
one." Mr.. Blackwell firmly believes
the terms now offered by Mr.. Skinker
are the very best terms that can be OBJ
tanned from the bondholders. He be-
lieves Mr.. Skinkcr to be sincere in say
ing that some of the bondholders were
brought into these terms reluctantly,
and that they would be glad to have
them rejected in order to press their
demands for the full amount. We
quote him now because he is and has
for a long time been u attorney, and
has had the best chance to judge the
| facts mentioned. No one doubts his
| ability and zeal IN representing the
county and the townships. No one
doubts, either, his integrity and good
| filth.
The United States courts are ali
against us; the state supreme court has
upon this question taken the pains to
declare that it will not interpose itself
! between the U. S. courts and the peo-
pie, and, as Mr.. Blackwell says, GAL
legal defenses are exhausted"
Hence, we believe, that the town.
ships should do just as an individual
debtor would do under like circum-
stances having reduced his unjust deb
to the lowest possible fgure-settle il
at nee.
