W. X. Reckefus, deputy cerk ofthe
Circuit Court for Cecil County, when
copying the certificate of the return
judges ofclection preparatory to send
ing it to the Executive Department
at Annapolis, Friday, discovered
that they had ommitted to state that
any person had been elected to the
office of county commissions.
The omission can be remedied
by the return judges within 10 days.

Robbers and rumors of robberics

robber in every bush, and hear one
in the nibble Of every mouse. Every
man they pass on the road after
night is foot pad, who attacks them,
and they have narrow escape from
being robbed and murdered. There
are as many seeing and hearing rob
bers about now in this neighborhood,
as there were Charley Rosses a few
years ago.

Among the Club family, that member
known as the "Book Club" is one of
the most useful. When a purchase

One of our most highly respected
contemporaries reprints the editorials
Of one of the leading New York City
dailies and gives no credit.
Now 50 far as the net in question is
concerned ne between ourselves and the
newspaper in question, it ia assuredly
none of our business; but so far as it in
wolves principle, We lay claim to q
right of criticism.
In this age Of push, when the cardi-
nal doctrine is accepted as beng, take
care of No. l, when success may be OBJ
tanned only by energetic action and a
great and lasting capability to with
stand both friction and blows when
every species Of business becomes sort
of ballistic pendulum, recording in IFS
oscillations first the degree Of energy
administered and on the return stroke

tered, it has come to be permissible to
employ methods not formerly accepted
as being legitimate and ends may be

In many callings, success is permitted
to be the sole consideration sharp, rapid
and decided success, While in others
there vet remains at least tradition Of
the rules of moral excellence to be OBJ
served in form at least, to the end that
tone of calling or profession may not
become degraded.
If this be true Of any calling, we are
assured that journalism holds the place
secure against question or criticism.
In the world OF dealers, one has only
to introduce q new method, q new ar
ticle or a new business, to find that the
slightest evidence Of success is suiii-
cient to induce every other dealer to

The president has again displayed
the profoundness of his civil service
reform principles. His latest exhi-
bition of sincerity in the doctrine he
processes is his action in the contest
between Commissioner Black and the
civil service commission, relative to
the appointment of medical exami-
ners in the pension bureau. The At.
tOrney General rendered a decision
against the commission which was
promptly overruled by the president,
it being contrary to his convictions
of civil service reform. The Globe
ventures to predict that the Attorney
General will probably feel it due his
self respect to offer his resignation.
Why should it be so? If this is a
government with one head, that one
head can with all propriety, in ex-
ceptional cases at least. use a little
arbitrary power, at his discretion,
over his interiors in office without
giving them cause to feel humiliated.
If it were otherwise the office of the
presidency would be superfuous and
extravagant, and one of which the
country would do we'll to immedi-
ately divest itself.

ronage of his office, that he will not
neglect his friends in Western Mimi

If Stevens County is to have fair
this fall, and there is no good reason
why it cannot, the public should be
SO informed. There are many per-
sons in the county, who, if it were
known to them that a fair will be
held, will gladly aid, and aid mate
rally, to make it brilliant success.
But such people must needs have
some little time to prepare. They
cannot come in here on two or three
weeks notice of the event of "a sack
race. horse races and free-for all
race" and make exhibits which Will
do justice to the exhibitor or the
county in which the exhibition is
given. We say organize, advertise,
and let the people outside of Stevens
county know that there is such a
place.
Stevens county, in common with
other localities in Western Minneso-
ia, offers superior inducements to the
industrious class of emigrants from
the over crowded eastern cities, who
are willing to settle down and work
to make a home and an honest living.
While the citizens of those other To-
calities go to their wits ends to de-
wise schemes for bringing those in
ducements to the notice of such peo-
pie as desire to settle in the West.
Morris and Stevens county seems con-
tent to lie dead in the shell. Towns
north and towns south, and far infe.
rior ones at that, are advertising ex-
tensively, distributing gorgeous cir.
culars all over the state, of county
fairs to be held this fall. Morris
with it's superior railroad advantages,
has better facilities fof attracting a
large gathering than any other town
in the west. BY the timely exercise
of a little energy in presenting those
advantages and offering inducements
to people to come here, Morris could
have good county fair. The peo-
pie of the county in general should
show their interest in the matter,
and E:ake some move toward the hold.
Ing Of 4 fair this fall
