The average county paper comes out
of campaign with little honor and few
friends, however wisely the editor may
resolve to keep out Of the giddy whirl,
and act dignified part, yet the impor-
tlnitiea of friendly candidates and the
incessant bull-ragging Of his political
opponent soon wear away patience and
Danish discretion, and in the wild venac-
ular of the woody west, he turns himself
and his paper loose, starts the mud pump
and becomes bowling lunatic, roaring
around like lion. seeking whom hemay
devour. After the smoke of battle clears
away, the dead counted, the wounded
sent to the hospital and the yictors
crowned. he sadly looks over his files
and thinks, what is all when all is done.

The Mitchell Republican says that one
of the measures the farmers of that sec
ton will ask the next legislature to pass
will be the postponement Of the date
when taxes become delinquent. 1t also ia
vors the permanent amendment to the
law, as February is the worst time OF the
year for taxes to become delinquent.

THE KIMBALLG GRAPHIC
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER y, 1856.

The longer We run newspaper and
write about people and events the more
we realize how utterly impossible it is to
scratch every man on the spot where he
itches the most
Thus PHILOSOPHERS an O Id and exper-
fenced newspaper man. The pertinency
OF the remark comes with striking force
to most editors at election time above all
others. The men who know Just how a
newspaper ought to be run multiply with
surprising rapidity during an election
time. The chances are that if any one
OF these rabid why don t-you-give-it-to-
'em fellows had the control Of news
paper they would only succeed in making
gigantic ass of themselves instead Of
performing any service, however little,
to the public. A newspaper to be sue
cessful and gain prestige and influence
must be edited with the-greatest Of care
and discrimination. Its editor must be
q cool, impassioned sort Of fellow, and
with the faculty Of looking way into the
future. Facts or assertions made in cold
type and spread before thousa nds of
readers are not on the same plane with
idle words uttered in street conversa-
tions. Once in print they become re-
corded in the minds of the public, and
in after years should rebound to the
credit OF their author and to the intiu-
ence of his newspaper-not to its dis
trust During an election campaign a
straight out and out party organ can,
under ordinary circumstances, consist
emily abide by its party convention aud
advocate and support its nominees. An
independent newspaper can do as it
pieases. But neither the one nor the
other can afford to support any candi-
date or use its influence to his disadvan-
tage solely from personal friendship or
personal dislike, as the case may be
There must be something tangible, not
empty words Of praise or prejudiced
assertions; and when it occurs, as it
often does, that in the eyes Of the pub
lie one man is as equally fitted for the
Office as the other, fair and just news
paper will bury all the personal likes and
dislikes of its editor, state all the facts of
interest and let the people decide at the
ballot. Either this or it must support a
candidate upon political grounds alone
and that is something the GRAPHIC does
not do.

Despite the fact that there are no two

on the same candidate from the top to
the bottom of ticket. and notwitstand-
ing the fact that there is probably not a
man in the county who is perfectly salts
fed with the result Of the county elect.
ion, yet in the newly elected county
officers Brule county will undoubtedly
have as efficient and worthy set Of Of
icials as in her history. Laying aside all
political preferences and personal likes
and dislikes this is a plain fact which
will stare In the face the man who thinks
It over. Every man would have been
better pleased to have seen this or that
one got there. but this in nowise effects
the public welfare which after all is the
chief point to be considered. The re-
election of Treasurer Jenkins and Dis
trict Attorney Stroube is an endorsement
OF the administration of their respective
Offices, the efficiency of which the peo-
pie are we'll warranted in believing will
be maintained another two years. The
election Of Mr.. Ochsner to the position
of sheriff in the face Of three regular
nominees for the same Office is not only
an endorsement Of his previous services
in the same capacity in 1898 and 's4,
but it speaks volumes for the high re.
gard with which he is held in this
county as citizen. His friends are le
gion. Mr.. Orcutt is another good man
in fact very few men in Kimball enjoy
| the confidence and respect that has al
| ways been accorded to J. W. Orcutt. A
large number wanted to see Mr.. Wceks
secure the Office of register because he
needed it more, but none could say i
word against Mr.. Orcutt's fines for the
place. With Mr. Graybilps qualifications
we are not cognizant, as he is a residen,
of another tNyn, but from what we know
of him webelicve he will make gooG
judge Of probate. Our knowledge Of
Miss Sanborn' fitness for county sup
crntendent also comes from heresay. but

she will do well. The minor offices are

majority and hurrah for bonnie Brule.

Something That Should Not Re

1t has been remarked as a noticeable
fact that there was a greater amount of
drinking among the colored people
this Christmas than usual and a more
than unusual air of insolence on the
part of certain class. During Christ
mas eve night the police we're defied
by some of those who were turbulently
disposed, and on Christmas day there
was a manifested disposition by "a
crowd of colored men who filled the
passageway near the postoffice moving
up the street, the colOred band being
on the other side. Rev. Mr.. Gordon
and several ladies were at the time on
their way home from the services at st.
Peters Church. Seeing the crowd
were in no way disposed to make room
for them or recognize their presence or
right of passage, he told the ladies to
fall in his rear and he would thus
secure them from being rudely iostled.
At this junction a burly, one-armed
negro looked down at him with
scrOwl, followed by a movement as if
to step in his front. Mr.. Gordon
simply remarked with firm voice and
Southern fire flashing from his eve, flor
he meant to protect himself at the point
where municipal authority failed "you
had better not do that" The darkev
hesltated moment, balanced himself
as between two opinions and gave wav.
and the Reverend gentleman and the
ladies' got through single file with a
slight pressure. We are sorry to record
such unnecessary manifestations of in
science, because it can lead to no good
and may to harm.

Company since last March, has re-

The Grace of Giving.

There has been a munificence in the
gifts of friend to friend. parent to
child and child to parent of the
present holiday season. A lead.
ing paper in speaking of the moral
education in the celebration of the
CHRISTMAS season, says:
1t Is in the giving of gifts that we hest
conquer our selfishness and become like
ChTlst. Especially is it most desirable that
children be taught the precious lesson of
Klndiy giving, this great lesson of love
