little myself. Please let me ask Mr..
Miller, through you, a few questions.
Is it the right way to publish private
letter and make nearly all your COM

answer the public questions? Come
now, Brother, let us stick to the text.
Haven't you got eight or ten dollar
collins that are decent, good enough to
enclose either you or ME: Wasn't
there about ten or t,senty dollars profit
on your $1,000 bill against the county?
May not l believe it was as much on
account of this profit as it was your
desire to honor your dead comrade
your little bill was presented? Won't
you admit that many bills have been
presented in Congress, and some of
them passed, and also in our State
Legislature merely To get U0tess AS
you have access to the books, won't
you publish your little tao items as
you did mine. that We may all see how
much you pay? Ifyou are too modest,

so. | believe they would do it.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS,

Eds. Register:-Seeing my letter

it and the door left open, step in

bats will be thrown at my head. Bur
here | come again.
l. Are the salaries per year of the
county officers four times what they
get for the second quarter, as per the
Courdnt of July 23d?
2. Are they fixed by law or are they
variable and allowed by the commits.
sioners? Couldn't some of them be re.
duced q littles
8. Wasn't $500 dollars pretty stee,
for making index to mortgage?
4. Who pays the jury fees lover $500
allowed besides costs in State cases
the county, or the fellows who give
bonds for costs when they rush into
law?
). Couldn't the commissioners sad
die at least 800 of these fees onto the
lawyers for their dilly-lallying and
spinning out their yarns, thus keeping
the Jurors twice as long rs necessary
6. Couldn't they (the commission
ersI add on another hundred dollars for
their rejecting this ard that juror to
satisfy some within, thus losing time +?
And to be candid about the matter,
shouldn't the lawyers be compelled to
foot the whole bill of costs where they
plead by the hour and do their level
best to get a guilty man clear, sohen
they k,aOtc he is guilty, since they get
enough from the poor, silly geese, any
how, that get plucked?
Z. What right has the county to pay
$40 stenographer's fees? The Judge
takes his own notes and the lawyers
should take down all they need of
questions and answers, since they ac-
cuse each other SO often of asking ques.
tons irrelevant" ''immaterial," etc;
and don't believe the county cares a
continental for these records.
s. In lie board bill for prisoners, is
any tobacco paid for as "boar,i''o
AS l said before, may be it's none of
my business, but somehow or other
believe Pm not alone in thinking there
is little looscness somewhere. And
what are our county papers for if not to
teach us poor fellows wisdom?

swering the former questions. hope
You may be as faithful in answering
the above. S.M. I;wIx
ANSWERS.
For convenience we have numbered
Mr.. TWINS questions and will reply
to them seriatim.
1.-Yes.
2.-They are fixed by state law, be-
ing i'm no wise dependent upon the ac-
ton of the commissioners, and should
not, in our opinion be any lower than
they now are. The Tfeasurer's salary |
is graded by the population of the
county, being at present 5000. When |
our population reaches 1900, as it
probably will next year, the salary
will be raised to 5000. This is GER
tainly not too much for an officer who
has TO give bond in the sum of
$4,000. The Clerks salary is 1850,

A WORD TO REPUBLICANS.

The township primaries for the cleo
ton OF delegates to the republican
county convention, will be held OF
Saturday of next week, September IL
AT those primaries the question, Wht
will be our county officers for the mex
two years, ought to be decided. And
the question will be decided there il
republicans do their duty, and are
wise. They must do their duty by
turning out in force to the primary
and they must show their wisdom by
instructing their delegates to vote for
candidates whose personal character is
unsullied, and whose ability to I'LL the
office they seek is ungucstioned. There
is no particular issue between the par
ties in Allen county this fall. The
prohibition question is settled, and set
tied right, thanks to the efforts of the
republican party in the past. there is
no congressional, state or national
campaign pending, so that the distinct
i've features of the two parties will cut
but little figure. The main question
will be fitness. And that is what it
ought to be. THE REGISTER is free to
say that as between prompt and ca
pable democrat and dilatory and in
capable republican as candidates for
county office, it would not hesitate to
support the former. And we believe
that the majority of republicans are Of
the same opinion. 1t is of vastly more
importance that the sheriff should per-
form the duties of his office promptly
and fearlessly and impartially, than
that he should vote the republican or
democratic ticket. 1t is of vastly more
importance to the republicans Of this
county that Mr.. Duncan should keep
the records of his office with absolute
accuracy than it is that he should vote
the republican ticket every time. And
SO on through the list. What Allen
county wants is to have her business
properly attended to, and while she
would prefer to have it done by repub-
Iicans. yet she will not trust it to men
simply because they are republicans.
If the republican ticket aoins this fail,
it sUiN be because it ought to acin. 1t
will be because the candidates whose
names are upon it are equal or SUI
perior in ability to the opposing candi-
dates for the corresponding offices. If
the Republican candidate fol treas
urer is elected it must be because he is
a more capable man than the present
incumbent. Unless we very much
mistake, the people, this fall, are going
to make ability the main test. 1t is
for this reason that We especially APP
peal to republicans to act wisely and
to do their whole duty at the primaries
on the 18th. 1t is easy enough to NOM
mate a ticket that will win. There
are plenty of men in the republican
ranks whose ability to fill any office in
the county will not be questioned.
And such men are the ones that must |
be nominated. 1t is time that Allen
county was electing her officers instead
of hiring them.

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT LAWRENCE.
Special DISPATCH to the Re0ister.


LAWRENCE, KAN. Sept. I'd, 's5.
The excitement and hustle attendant
upon great exposition. already show
themselves in this city. The office of
the Western National Fair Association
is besieged with people making entries,
and cattle and horses for exhibition at
the Great Fair are arriving daily. At
the magnificent grounds an immense
force of men is engaged in getting
everything in better shape than ever
before, and making additions to the al
ready extensive accommodations for
live stock, made necessary by the un-
precedented number of entries. There
was never such boom in Kansas as
that which is being enjoyed by the
Great Western National Fair. Twice
as many horses will start in the races
as there were last year and the time
made will be the fastest ever recorded
on Kansas soil. The great fair opens
at Bismark Grove on Monday, the 7th,
and continues throughout the entire
week.

not the exception. Fast time, exciting
finishes and lowered records will be
the order of the day during the week

the most magnificent exposition ever
