Purely Imaxinary.

Wade's Winona amateur "editor," IN
obedience to Bills suggestion that he do
something to earn his flop fee. last week
gives purely imaginary account of the
late democratic convention, In which he
speaks of "Streeter,' ''the gang" etc.
But the fact that the article IN question
is wholly untruthful is not to be wono
dered at after another item rs follows, on
the same page. strikes the eye:
&C. II. Bumstead WAS in town a couple of elavs
this week OH q money-lonning tour"
That settles it. Frosty, who wasn't
there, got his account from Slippery
Charlie, who wasn't there.
Of course Streeter was there. It ia a
newspaper mans place to he pres and
report all local conventions. Even if he
gets thrown out once in a while, that
doesn't matter. 1t is his duty to 70. If
by some miracle Frosty should eventually
become q newspaper man, lie will find
that out. Yes; Strecter was there--bu,
didn't say anything--hadn't ANYTHING to
say-probablyw wouldn't have been allowed
to say anything. Wade was there too
his deputy, also-wanted an Endorsement.
but didn't get it.
Bill had better 20 down to Winona and
examine his newly purchased infant.
From the kids dolefui howls it IS appa.
rent that his safety pins are sticking him.

Unlrurhful. m Usual.

We have learned where, IN at least one
instance, Charlie Bumstead went to va-
ter who had signed Wade's removal petit
tion and said z: "Stcreeter is abusing you
and the others who signed that petition,
over the shoulders of Mr.. Wade and my
self" This lie silly. Their "no-expensc-
,n-removai'' cry has been shown to BE-
false by the publication of the law itself
Section co., Said board shall have authority

A Great Man ABROAD.

A Bismarck gentleman heavily inter.
ested in Emmons County property writes
as follows to the REceRD:

Now this proves that Wade has stopped

even to the extent of making euemies
thereby--both in his newspaper and at
the polls.

editor that he would set the county aflame
to defeat him. why did he invite him over
to Horsellead aud beg and beseech him to

Mr. Parkerss Taxes.

S"AAs =
Mr.. John Parker went down to W;uona
week before last and had talk with the
editor Of that ss-called newspaper, the
Weakly Flopper. and when tue Fiopper
came out it told with tears in its eyes how
the RECORD had done Mr.. Parker wrong,
and that the latter's failure to pay bis
taxes was owing to dispute" about the
taxation of improvements on government
land. Inquiry at the treasurer's Office del
velops the following facts: Iu the sum
mer of 'S7 Mr.. Parker sent $50 in money!
and a county order for $10.5O to the dep
uty treasurer. He also claimed that his
improvements on government land were
not taxable. The m oney aud order were
reccipted for and laid away in the safe.
Mr.. Parker made no effort to have ,he
matter tested in the courts. A few months
ago he applied for the money, and the
deputy treasurer paid it back to him.
Question 80 in the homestead final.Dro0f
blanks of the general land office is as fol.
lows: Are The improvements on the
land assessed for taxes; If SO, at what
valuation? Have such taxes been paid :
if SO. when and by whom7" :
Tho RECORD stated that Mr.. Parker has
not, from the time he came into Emmons
county, rAID one cent OF taxes. The fol.
lowing figures, taken from tile treasurer 8
books, show that our statement was cor,
rect in every respect. In 1885 Bumstead
assessed MIR. Parker at $2.771. The lat
ter gentleman appeared hefore the com.
missioners and made Charities fur fly.
and the board cut down the valuation to
81, 72l. The tax for that year. as given be.

Companion Won't Hurt IcGee.
Some of Waldrsff's friends have started
campaign Of personal attack upon Jim
my McGee. but in these parts all that
kind Of talk comes from Mr.. Wallroff
himself. who is terribly afraid that "a rebel
soldier" will be the next sheriff of this
county. But all this talk only serves to
make the voters investigate. and thus
comparisons between the opposing candi
dates are made. aud such comparisons are
not III the least disadvantageous to Mr..
McGee.
Now the editor of this paper does not
know, nor does he care, whether James
s. MCGEE, u Southern man, quarter of
II century ago, marched to the tune of
Dixie" or of Yankee Doodle" With
reunions Of the blue and the gray being
held every summer on the battle fields Of
the lutte war; with thousands upon thou.
sands of the men who fought SO gallantly
against one another marching side by side
to the music of "The Star. Spangled Ban.
ner." it Is in poor taste for any one to at
tempt to injure a political antagonist for
local office by shouting "rebcl soldier"
The fact Is that the true soldier is no.
bic and magnanlmous. While the boys
who upheld the dear old flag have moth
ing but u bitter and undying hatred of
the principles for which their opponents
fought. there is no malice in their hearts
toward the brave old southrons who met
them fairly on the field of battle and
yielded inch by inch to their valor. What
said the brave old commander ut Appo.
mattox7 Did he shout. "a rebel soldicr9
Show HIM no mercyr' No; the grand
old hero said: Gen. Lee. your men may
keep their horses-they will need them in
lilling their farms" Furthermore, in
more than one instance, he himself ap-
pointed ex-rebels to important offices.
The true soldier is never vndictive to his
conquered foe.
Were James MCGEE candidate for con.
gress--yes. even for the leglslature--for
any position where he would be called up
on to make laws--we would certainly ad.
vocate his defeat and would vote against
him-nOt as an ex x-rcbcl, hui as demo.
clat. In chosinx our county officers
--whose duties are purely administrative
our citizens should demand the same
qualifications that they would ask were
they employing assistance IN their private
business. 1t would he absurd to ask one
to do otherwise.
1t may he that McGee was a rebel
soldier but, il so, it is strange that
Sheriff Wade did not use the fact IN his
campaign two years ago, for he used ev-
erything else.
However, we feel confident in SAYING
that Jimmy Mc(aee, when elected, will ma ke

A NOBEL prNlTENrlhsY System.

Ohio has the model Penitentiary
system of America, perhaps of the
world. 1t is based on a recognition
of the different degrees of moral
guilt and responsibility among con-
victs and the possibility of the re-
form of the less hardened ones. 1t
takes into account the circumstance
that some convicts, though properly
condemned under the law, may be
the victims of their social environ
mcnts and other circumstances 1t
gives such persons an opportunity
for reformation. 1t stimulates exer-
ton in that direction. In the prison
the coDvicts are graded according
to their conduct and according to
their desire, confirmed by their be-
havior, to do right. 1t makes pro-
vision for giving convicts who are of
honest inclination an opportunity to
begin life anew outside the prison
walls under favorable auspices. In
the Penitentiary the good-conduct
prisoners are distinguished from the
others by their dress. There are
three grades or classes. The dress
of the best class does not differ
greatly from the ordinary dress OF
working mechanics in the outside
world. Every prisoner desirious Of
mending his life considers it dis
tinction to wear this superior dress
of merit, rs it may be called. Re-
formation is thus encouraged within
the prison walls.
The success of the system has eX-
ceeded the expectation Of its warm.
est advocates. According to the
Ohio prison statistics since July,
1885, when the law went into opera.
ton, SOP good-cenduet convicts
have been released under this svs-
TEN. OF these 1876 kept their
pledges of reformation until the
term of their sentences expired,
when they ceased to be subject to
the supervision of the Prison Board.
while 1874 others, agreeable to their
promises, continue TO report yet.
This makes 260 who may be said to
have been completely reformed. OF
the AZ delinquents 10 were returned
to the prison, s for drunkenness and
6 for having left the State temper
