COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
THE COUNTY PRINTING.

The Commissioners have advertised
for bills to do the county printing for
one year, Ito include everything paid
out of county funds" An Act Of the
Legislature, approved March s, 1885,
provides as foil 'ws:
SECTION l. 1t shall be the duty OF
the Assessor in each of the respective
counties of this State, on or before the
second Monday i'll September i'll each
year, to prepare IL printed list Of oil the
taxpayers Ill the county, ana the total
Taluatlon of property on which they
Severally pay taxes. A copy of said
list shall he by the sail Assessor de-
nvered in persoh or mailed to each and
every taxpayer in the county; provided,
tnnt the cost of printing the aforesaid
list shall not exceed taenty cents Tor
each name for ns Emmy copies as there
are mines on tn Inst.
SECTION 2-Tho several Boards of
County Commissioners i'll this State NE
authorized and empowered to allow the
bill contracted 10y the Assessor under
this Act, and the County Auditors are
authorized TO d,nw their warrants in
payment Of the same.
Again: An Act Of the Legislature.
approved March /, 1882, provides for the
publication of all bills allowed by the
Cuunty Commissioners, and furthur
provides that The pull cation shnlI be
made in daily paper if such be pub
lished Mt the county seat" The third
section Of the Act provides that "rhe
amount paid for SUI h publication shall
not exceed the sum of one dollar per
square of ten lines" the publication
l,mited to one insertion.
With the above stntutes in full force
anil effect, can the printing of the lists
of tax payers and the publication of the
hills allowed by the commissioners be
considered county printing" by any
stretch of the Imagination? This qnes-
tion is respectfully referred to the care

rsrerinlly to those who nre disposed to

Without disparaging any of the Of
ficcrs or members Of the Colby Board
of Trade for the evident failure of the
organization to bring practical good
to the city, it is a prominent fact that
as now constituted the organization is
a dead letter. What Colby needs is
4 board OF trade organized as a char
tered institution, with capital stock
of s25, 600 or 5000, with power to
locate in our midst manufacturing
and industrial enterprises that will be
productive of good to our city and
county. Other than as friendly or
ganization, our present board of trade
amounts to little. The officers have
tried to do their duty, but under the
present constitution, all they can do
is to call meetings and submit propo-
sitions, and rely upon individual con-
tributions to aid or forward any object
or enterprise.

A RNissIng Man Heard From.
Special Dispatch to the Globt-Democrat.
St. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 29.-In the
fall of 1854. DR.. Charles d. Martin,
son of well-known citizen of DeKalb,
this county, and a young practicing
physician, disappeared very myster-
ioasly from his home, and no tidings
could be learned from him. His faith
er was almost distracted, and it was
suspected that foul play had hand
in removing the son, and that he was
perhaps dead. A card was published
in the local papers by the father, of
fering large reward for any informa-
ton that would lead to a discovery of
the whereabouts of the missing man.
Nothing came of it, and the SUPPOSE
ton was that he was dead. This was
four years ago.
A few days ago Col. Henry S Baker
came back from tour through Kan
sas. While away he visited Thomas
county, Kan, and brought back with
him late copy of the Thomas County
Cat, published at Colby. tae county
seat. In the paper are advertisements
for several banking and other bust
ness institutions in Colby, among
them the First National Bank, large
real estate and loan agency and large
dug store. Col. Baker says that DR..
{. Ii. Martin, the gentleman who was
missing in 1884, is the owner of the
drug store referred to, has half in
terest in the real estate concern, and
his name appears in the paper as cash.
Ter of the bank.
The above dispatch contains sever
al mistakes. DR.. c. H. Martin is not
the young physician who disappeared
so suddenly from DeKalb, Mo, four
years ago. That mans name was DR..
G. A. Martin. DIR. G. H. Martin came
to Colby two years ago from DeKalb,
where he had lived and practiced his
profession upt to that time He is one
of Colby's most substantial and enter
prising citizens, and is president, not
of the First National Bank of
Colby. Otherwise the dispatch is
rue.

THAT MAN.

Do you see that man over in the
field driving? Who is he and wha:
is he doing
He is a farmer and is engaged in
blowing. He is the man that moves
the world If he would 90 on strike
and refuse to raise crop for single
year, it would produce more disas-
trous effect than would result from a
universal strike of all the Brother
hoods and of railroad employees CON-
bined. He, with glittering share, fur
nishes subsistence for all the Broth
erhoods and everybody else. And if
he should ''go out for some real OF
imaginary wrong he would paralize
the commerce of the world on the
land; every locomotive would rust in
its stall, the cars would rot on the
side track, the song of the spindle and
hum of the factory would be hushed
and silent, the goods of the merchant
would be moth-eaten on his shelves.
and even the government would be
powerless to interfere. That share,
though bright, glitters only when it is
idle. 1t hides its polish under six
inch layer of usefulness. That man.
though intelligent, dresses in home
spun, and patiently tolls on, year by
year, bearing the ills he cannot shun.
and because he does not strike. the
world moves on, and the people have
bread to eat.
And now just stop a moment and
consider how much more our prosper
ity depends on the man with the
mules, than on the dude with the cane
and waxed mustache.

Free traders all insist that duty
means higher priced goods-in other
words, that the amount of duty is ad.
dcd to the price of the article. 1t this
were true few men would be in favor
of protection, but it is in no sense
true. Take calico for instance: the
import duty is five cents per yard land
yet best qualities of calico can be pur.
chased in the retail market for that
sum, and good quality for three and
four cents per yard.

CHICAGO, April 24.-[Special.] A
decree of great importance was pub
lished in the Catholic churches fo1
the first time, and one that must have
great influence in deciding that por
ton of the saloon question which le
lates to Sunday observance. The de.
crees are based on the action of the
plenary council at Baltimore, and tina,
portion of them relating 10 the saloon
question is as follows:
Finally, We warn Catholics engag.
ed in the sale of intoxicating drinks
to consider seriously by how many
and how great dangers, by how many
and how great occasions of sin their
business, though in itself not unlaw-
full, is surrounded. Let them. if thew
can choose more becoming way of
making living. Let them, at anv
rate, strive with all their might to re-
move occasions of sin as we'll from
themselves as from others. They
must not sell drink to minors, that is
to say to those who have not come of
age, nor who they foresee will abuse
it They must keep their saloons
closed on Sunday, and never allow
disappearing, cursing or obscene Ian
guage. Saloonkeepers should know
that if through their culpable neglect
or cooperation, religion is brought
into contempt, or men brought I'd ru-
in, there Is an avenger in heaven (ho
will surely exact from them the Ae.

A POINT WELL MADE.

Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, says
the Commonwealth, made a strong
point in the house few days ago
when he said that the way to dissi
pate the surplus is to $50 legislate on
the question of the surplus, and the
sources whence it flows, as to increase
the wealth, power and dignity of the
country by promoting the develop
ment of its natural resources and the
diversification of its industries and
thus diminish its dependence upon
foreign importation, upon which du-
ties are collected" This is a big
broad view to take of the subject and
is entirely different from the demo-
cratic idea, which, seeing surplus of
revenue, proposes to cut it down by
sl:shing at the industries of the coun.
try. Kelley proposes to dispose of
the surplus by building up American
manufactures so that in.portations
upon which duties are collected would
be reduced to a minimum. There is
all the difference in the world in the
two methods as represented by Mills
and the venerable Pennsylvania, and
it can not be for moment doubted
which will be adopted as the faith of
the toilers of the country. The one
proposes to build up the industries of
England while the OF her would devel
op our own manufactures. The one
says to the American mechanic, we
will improve your condition by admit
ting foreign made goods free of duty
and assures him that the way of pros
perity lies through sharp and unre-
stricted competition with the mechan-
ic of Europe. The other tells him
that the splendid market of his own
country shall be saved to him by
keeping out the products of foreign
workshops BY means of a protective
tariff.
