THE JOURNAL ASKS JERRY THE
sTRADDLElt A FEW QUESTIONS.

Yesterdays Journal comes to us with
some pointed interrogatlons to which
Jerry over the way is required to make
answer within the time by law prescribed.
The following quotation copied from the
"Bladder," preccdes the Journals ques-
tions:
The registration law, as it now stands Is an ac-
cursed measure, which will on election day bring
retribution Oh the heads OF the republicans who
framed It. Republicans who are not blinded by
partisanship admit that the law, SO far US the
rural districts are concerned, is oppressive, ma
lignant and odlo,s 1t was born of dread of the
people-distrust of IL fair, honest, vote
The journal then proceeds:
Jerry Collins is the editor and proprietor of the
| newspaper which prints this attack on the regis
tratlon law. Jerry Collins Is tile democratic can
didate for state treasurer. Jerry Collins was last
winter member Of the territorial council On
March l, 1859, he w;ls one Of the six republicans
and four democrats, all the members present,
who voted FOR the registration and voting laws.
1t Is utterly amazing into what positions these
democrats are putting themselves! Now, Mr. Col
ils in view Of your two votes on the first Of last
| March and Of your recorded comments printed
above upon the bills you voted for you will surely
not feel offended at our putting to you plain and
pertinent question, 1t Is this: Mr. Collins, are
you an ass: Understand us, Nr. Collins, We
would not for the world hurt your feelings, but II
you are not an ass why did you vote for the "ac
CURSED measure, or why, having voted for it, d
you now declare yourself guilty of joining a con
sp1racy to oppress the people? Come, Mr.. Col
lins, explain yourself.
Now, Jerry, stand up and be sworn, o.
never he oracle more.

from the east was delayed last night
through one of the most unexpected and
surprising accidents since the vesti-

castings and got the steel plates red hot
The fire was easily extinguished, but the
fact of the fire has set the railroad people
to thinking.
