The Blessings Of Wealth.

discussing some cold victuals, were

DECLINES TO BLAB ABOUT THE
TELEPHONE CASE.

Allen G. Thurman has been here
for three days looking into the tele'
phone suit. SO far he has refused to
discuss the suit or the probabilities
of time when or place where it will be
brought. Il cannot. talk about the
telephone matter at ALL" he said to a
representative of the World who call
ed on him at the Arlington this
evening.
Mr.. Thurman is in splendid health,
apparently. AS he sat in an easy
chair putting his cigar, this evening,
he looked the picture of robust old
age. Beside him on the table lay his
skull-cap, and the famous red ban
danna handkerchief that waved so
frantically at Chicago a year and a
half ago. Mr.. Thurman has been
oyerrun with visitors since he arrived
here. The newspaper man, however,
has not oyerrun him to any great ex-
tent. Mr.. Thurman avoids news
paper notoriety at present, and on
political topics he is dumb. Il am

Ex-senator Thurman has had quite
an ovation in Washington. Almost
as many persons have called to see
him at his hotel as would have called
if he had come on to be inaugurated
President. And yet Mr.. Thurman
has not q single dollars worth of
official patronage at his disposal. He
lives in the hearts Of Democrats, and
the whole country pays him the res
pect due to an honest, incorruptible
man.-NeaV York World, Feb. 18th.

The New Deal Again.
"Get thee glass eyes q;

Get thee glass eyes
And like a scurvy politician,
Seem to see the things thou doSt not"
Many Of our exchanges, without
advancing any definite reason, per-
sist in clamoring for a new deal in
the next election of State officers.
Much has been said about the new
deal, and it is probable that as the
election draws near, it will be taken
up by dissatisfied politicians Of a
low order, who desire to ride into
what they consider fat Offices" up
on this hobby.
Unquestionabiy, the most impor-
tant consideration in electing Off
Gers is their individual qualifications.
Fitness for the discharge Of the
duties should first be considered.
and we have no sympathy with those
who seem to imagine that because a
mans grandfather performed the
State service, therefore all his descen-
dants should receive the emoluments
of a public office, as annuities.
No one section of the State is en-
titled to greater favor than another.
Good men can be found all over the
State, and as they are but represen-
tatives of the people, they should be
chosen from the people of the State
as such.
Perhaps the new deal idea arises
from the fact that great complaint is
made against high taxes. Unless it
can be shown that the State officers
have abused the trust reposed in
them, we see no reason for turning q
man out of office who has performed
his duty, satisfied his constituents,
and proven himself worthy. 1t is
folly to turn out q good man simply
to experiment with another. The
State officers have nothing to do
with reducing taxation. This evil,
if it be one, must be remedied by the
legislators and County Commission
ers. Elect competent and trust
worthy County officers and You may
be sure no unnecessary expense will
be Observation-Disclosures Adcerttser,

The Farmers Millennium.

Every reader Of the Sentinel is
aware Of its friendly disposition to-
wards the farmers Of its county and
State and its perfect willingness at
all times to lend its aid to promote
all their worthy enterprises; but if
there is one thing above another
against which it would caution them,
it is the possibility Of conscnting to
allow the numerous agricultural the
orlsts Of the present day to disturb
that harmony and good feeling which
has always existed between them and
their ncighbors. We all know that
there is 10 one class among US who
can at all times fold their hands and
proclaim their perfect independence
Of all others. Ours are q dependent
people. war and its results have made
them so, and if the time should ever
come when one class shall be arrayed
against another, not only must the
farmers interested suffer, but all
others. 1t would take the wisest of
al ancient philosophers to find ont
exactly how many defeated politi-
clans who never succeeded at any
thing they ever undertook in their
lives have recently become agricult-
uraj theorists and whose hearts now
bleed for the poor farmer, their
thoughts are Of t. .em-selves-of the
means they may employ for earning
money upon which to live without
exercising their God-given muscle.
The woods are full Of them,'' they
go it heavy on the farmer, they are
aware OF his strength at the poll, and
while his ears are tired Of their hum
drum talty spreading, he will not for
get that his grindstonc is for his own
axe. Farmers, like other people, will
strive to promote their own interests
they are right to do so, but they
must not allow themselves to be led
to q point Of political desperation
where there can be salaries for only
few, they can always be represent,
ed. and if they do not choose their
ablest men it is their own fault.
Those theorists who pass their time
ia the work we have referred to are
not exactly prepared 20 bring about
the farmers millennium, nor are the
farmers quite ready to swap their
suGrages for taffy.-BunrcU Sehti-

important class in our State, and it

important class in our State, and it
is not selfish, sectional or dangerous
in its purposes. If it succeeds, it
cannot hurt any interest in the
State, for the prosperity of the agrl-
cultural portion Of the State will ben
eft, not hurt other interests. Such
committees are not improper and are
not unknown in this State. The State
bar association has such a committee
appointed to look after the subject
Of legislation generally, and it IS
just as fair to charge the bar associa-
ton with instituting lobby as to
charge the Grange with it, and yet
we do not remember to have seen
any objection from the News and
Courier to this action on the part OF
the lawyers. We are glad to see the
different interests in the State watch
ing legislation. 1t is q healthy sign,
and if the people will heed the ad-
vice given in the latter part of the
News and Courier's article there will
be no danger from lobbyists of any
kind. and committees like that from
the Grange will be serviceable in
furnishing information and facts con-
nected with the interests they repre-
sent. OF all matters connected with
our State government, there is moth
ing Of so much Importance as the
selection OF Legislators. If any
evils arise in our government which
are general and permanent in their
effects, they are the result of crude or
injurious legislation, and therefore,
while we can see no reason why the
Grange should not appoint its COM
mittec on legislation, we fully con-
cur in the concluding part Of the

The New Deal
AS TO COUNTY OFFICERS.

Under our Constitution and laws
a good set of county officers through
out the State is of more consequence
to the people than the set of State
officers, so long as we retain a two
thirds majority in the Legislature.
There is no opportunity either for
corruption, or the exercise of undue
power, by State officer. They can
not spend one cent more than is ap-
propriatcd by the Legislature, and
cannot contract any debt. They are
subject to the most absolute system
Of checks and control, so that the
State is in no danger ofreal material
loss through her State officers. This
cannot be said Of our county gov
ernmcnt where the County Com
missioners contract for and dis
burse one-third Of all the money
collected for taxes. The people are
subjected to losses from ignorant,
corrupt or careless County Com
missioners, which are much more
serious and difficult to reach than
any which are possible under the
State officers. The County School
Commissioners have the disburse-
ment also Of an amount equal to
one-flth of all the taxes Of the State
government practically under their
control. The opportunity for direct
corruption on the part Of the School
Commissioners is perhaps not so
great as with the County Commits
siOners. but the waste and inexpe-
dient management Of the school
funds. which are possible under an
incompetent or dishonest or even IN
efficient School Commissioner, are
subjects demanding the careful con-
sideration Of the public. Then the
Senators and Representatives elected
from the separate Counties compose
the Legislature, and have absolute
control of the expenditure of every
cent of the money collected for taxes
which is not expended under the su,
pervision Of the County Commits
sioners and School Commissio.ers.
1t will be seen, therefore, that while
it is important to secure none but
efficient, capable and honorable men
for the positions on our State ticket,
the best safeguard againt extrava'
gancc. corruption and financial mis-.
management lies in the election OF
our best and most reliable and intel
iigent men to the positions of County
Commissioners, School Commission
ers and Legislators. These are the
positions which levy the taxes, and
provide for the disbursement of the
moneys anderson Lntelligencer, Feb
