Local Politics.

The county Prohibition convention will
assemble at McIain's Hall at 10 o'clock
this morning to nominate Legisla-
tive ticket, appoint Congressional dele
gates and Senatorial conterees and elect
new County Committee.
The Republicans are scheming to put
two men on the Legislative ticket who
will pledge themselves TO vote for the sub
mission prohibition to n vote OF the peo-
pie, but who do not pledge themselves to
support the measure. The Radlaals think
they have big heads

Stolen Horse Found.

Yesterday the Sheriff of Brooke county
telephoned to Chief of Police Smith that
the horse stolen from John Gilbert, OF Elm
Grove, several nights since, had been found
a short distance above that town tied to
tree. The thief had evidently begun to
think it was getting too warm for him and
he disposed of the animal in this manner.

Drinking Out OF a Book.

Some curious patents are taken out at
the patent Office. One for last week
"cover for liquor faskn-would never be
fully appreciated by its title. It is de-
sign of d book, about two and a half
inches thick. At the bottom end of the
book IS an opening for the insertion Of the
flask, the opening being afterward neatly
closed with q spring, the surface of which
is marbleized like a book end OF leaves.
At the top all seems correct and regular,
but the pressure of the thumb throws
open a circular hole and at the same time
raises the neck Of the hitherto hidden yes
sci about two inches and within easy
range Of the mouth. This exceedingly
clever invention is for the temperance and
prohibition districts The deeoy book is
labeled legal Opinions or "Holy Bible"
revised version, of course-or Scientific
Researches, 2 or something Of the sort, to
suit the occupation or pretensions OF the

Ben Butler is fond of yachting. But,
In point of fact, it isn't really the yacht
ing that Ben Butler cares about, but the
opportunity it gives him for indulgence in
his favorite dish, lobster pie, which he
can get aboard his yacht better than any
where else One who has been yachting
with him says: Lobster pie! He's clean
gone on il. When he's out on his yacht
he catches the Holsters fresh, takes the
meat out of the tails Of two or three Of 'em;
removes the spawn and the meat out OF
claws, beats that in mortar, seasons 1t
with pepper and salt. two spoonfuls Of
vinegar and a little anchovy liquor, melts
q half pound Of fresh butter, stirs it up al
together with crumbs rolled through a

DO Fish Ever Die OF Old Age?

aHow does it happen that we never find
floating in the water the bodies of fish
that have died natural deaths" was
asked of a Staten Island fisherman and
fish student. "All dead fish float, do they
not?" "All dead fish float If the bodies
are not interfered with, !" was the reply.
@But fish, SO far as / know, never die
natural Deaths" "How long would they
live if they were unmolested?" 3Well, il
they had sufficient food, which would be
an impossibility if they no longer preyed
upon each other, honestly believe they
would live forever, and it was just to pre-
vent this that they were made SO re-
morselesly cannibalistic. A ish's life is
q hard and selfish one. He lives only TO
eat and TO avoid being eaten. New York

the giddy height OF eolfenpifDleHess! Ii
would be an exalted virtue to shirk the
payment Of an .Onest debt tilat IS out
laWed or to avoid punishment Of CRIME
on a technlcaIity, compared with tMs
puerile attempt ot Ford TO relieve himself
of the responsibility of his action in con-
neetion with the assessment under eonsId-
Grafton.
The facts are the clerk OF the board re-
ceiyed A letter from the district attorney
instructing hin t. reiistate this assess
ment, but as he llad already turned the
tax list over TO the treasurer, and as the
board met IN regular session IN few days,
he properly concluded tD present the mat
fer to them for their action. This he did
at a session of The board. The letter was
read by the members, ltfd aside and no
more attention paid to it.
To review: Ford cancelled the assess
ment, arbitrarily and illfgdlly; he suafch-
es at the Samples case Hs u jas itieation OF
hi acf and cites as a reason for cancelllng
Tie assessment one that has new been
heard Of before; he pettifogs and cites

lawful act, and finally, as the climax OF
the whole business, he wants the clerk,

MORE FORDISM.

One of the most despicable features Of
on the public is his arrant and contempti-
BILE cowardice, as shown in his effort to.
shirk the responsibility of an act for which
he is solely and wholly to blame. The act
itself is bad enough, Taken in connec-
ton with all the circumstances of the case
the miserable pettifogging. the knowl-
edge of error, the grim determination to
carry his point, right or wrong, the special
and idiotic pleas advanced, etc.-taken
with all the concomitants, it is something
that we are at a loss for words to define.
But when Ford seeks to shift the respon-
sibility to other shoulders he puts himself
in light that is simply edious.
We quote from Ford's last screed !:
ssSaid legal adviser never wrote an official
opinion to the board on any assessment
question. but did write me letter marked
personal, in which said legal adviser
stated that In his opinion the board had
gotten off wrong on this assessment, and
upon further consideration he thought we
would reconsider our action; that he had
instructed the clerk OF the board to treat
our action as nullity, and the clerk OF
the board informed me at the December
meeting that he had received such instrue-
tions. As this aoas takiag the mater out
of the hands Of the commissioners { thought
s,othiny more about it, more than TO won
der if the actions Of the deputy assessor.

adviser were 70 override MI the actions o1
the board OF commissioners. there i

FORDIsM. NO.4.

ssMr. Editor, you know that we the ma
iority have held every department in check
have cut bills right and left, some of them
of our best friends; you know what q howl
went up in June last and the loud threats
made to appear from we the majority you
know that we the majority have saved
thousands of dollars to tax payers, as the
records will show, and they are an open
book to every tax payer
The foregoing is the conclusion of the
remarkable communication that has for
some time engrossed our attention. We
call the readers attention 10 it particularly
as showing what kind Of a vain rooster
the author is and secondly to point out the
/ fact that Fordism, lnsfea d Of Saving
thousands of dollars" has actually cost the
county a large sum OF money. ''The rec
ords are an open book and we have taken
some trouble TO sean them.

lows: Tn June, 1887 p; July and August,
$685.; September, $229.O3; November
and December, $7065; total 81 ,607 rs.
The most of this was sheriff Is fees growing
out Of the Dupuyer cases. But we will
give ssWe the Majority credit for the
full amount.
We find also that the commissioners
drew $1,029.40, during 1885, which is
1904. 40 in excess Of the average pay tc
commissioners in four years; We also find
that "We the majority by carelessness
and neglect Of duty have allowed the poor
farm to be jumped and be forever lost to
the county. This cost $1,725: we also
find that 1--WE, the majority arbitrarily !,
illegally, Intentionally, outrageously can
celed an assessment that leaves the coun-
ty excheqer So, 900 short Of what it should
be; we also find by the records that 1--WE,
the majority" tried, contrary to law and
common sense, to deplete the treasury to
the tune of $4,000 more, bnt happily
couldn't get away with it. These are
some of the beauties Of Fordism. Let Us
see how the account stands:
