Quite tempest in o teapot Ito use
newly adopted phrase of our quondam
friend Judge Kone) followed the issue of
last weeks iPREss. The occasion was
this: A young man connected with this Of
fee as a compositor, whom we, feeling the
need of local help had enlisted to furnish
items, handed in a rather sweeping con-
domination of the water in the reservoir.
Being as vet rather new in the place, and
seeing green scum on the surface, ne was
thus misled. 1t is true til such scum
will rise, Just as it does on the river ltseh
above the dam, but it can be and we are
assured is frequently thrown of by over
flowing the reservoir, leaving the water
beautifully clear and as pure rs could be
reasonably expected. 1t can do no harm,
however, to have public attention directed
to it if the result should he even the more
frequent overlooking of the reservoir, thus
by the removal OF impurities and agitation
keeping the water always pure and healthy.
The presence OF an ignorant alien class OF
voters in our midst is greatly to be deplored.
But for them we should probably nearly al
ways have comparatively quiet elections,
and the best men pretty generally chosen.
The class referred to, however, are not 30
much 10 blame as are the inscriptions
white men who take advantage Of their
ignorance TO mislead them. Were il not
for tskisky, especially, they would cause
comparatively little trouble. Many Of them
mean to do what is right, aud but for this
great curse, would be easily directed in the
right way. Even as II Is. they should not

Whatshould be thought of professedChris-

of piety and repectability hollow mock
ery. What honest man will not endorse the

Judge Kone and some of his friends may
find it very convenient to attribute our OPP
position to him rs candidate to personal
feeling. Such however is not the fact. For
q long while we have said nothing person
ally against him, but have held closely to
his official record. This our readers know.
And now we have only to say of his candi-
dacy, that having had the Office of County
Judge for eight consecutive years. he can
we'll afford to retire gracefully. He is yet
a young man, and other honorable avenues
will open before him as he may prove him
self worthy to advance in them.

that our recent criticisms have been based
