Many township officers think them
selves entitled to the services of the
county attorney, whenever needed by
them in their official capacity, with
out compensation. Such is not the
case. For the purpose of having au-
thority on this subject, county at
torney Brown recently wrote to the
attorney general concerning it. In
his reply attorney general Hahn says:
"You ask whether it is your duty to
advise Township officers and to ap-
pear for Town in an action against
it without charge? It is not. Sec. 212
of chapter Gen. Stat. 1873, defines
Just what your duties are. In brief, as
to the civil matters, it is your duty TO
representyour county i'll Jail actions,
advise county officers and when re-
quested by the Attorney General to APP
pear for the state in your County. In
general way you have the same re-
lation to your county and its officers
that this office has to the state and its
officers
The best way in the world to kill
city is to run down every Institution
therein, to make out that every man
who has any degree of success is a
rogue, and that every establishment
in the city is either run fradulently or
is on the verge Of bankruptcy; if a
man has chance of rising i'll the
world, cry him down; always give all
favors to the man who never does
anything for the city. and who is
constantly standing in the way of the
city's highest welfare and takes every
thing, but smooth talk, to himself;
always vote for the man. regardless
of his own fitness or the public inter-
ests, who pats you on the back and
gets you into some petty position or
office, merely to accomplish his own
political or personal ends, for, of
course, you owe him a debt for issuing
you as his tool to punish his enemies
or get himself place. Employees
can help Kill city by placing them
selves under the lead of some dema-
gogue, who, doing not thing for
them himself, will try to make them
believe that those who use their time
and money to build UP the city are
their enemies.-=-Red Wing Republi-
