WE NEED HONEY.

We have gone to considerable ex-
pense within the last month in buy
ing new material for the ARGUS ;
an expense which had to be met
with the cold cash, and as q result
we are badly in need Of money. We
trust those who are indebted to the
ARGUS viii come forward and pay
up. One dollar and fifty cents may
look small in the eyes of some, land
it is a small amount which all can
pay and not miss) but it amounts
to considerable to us when it runs
up into the hundreds. 1t is utterly
impossible to run a newspaper
without money. Please remember
this, gentle reader, and send in the
amount of your subscription at
once.

are not applicants for the position,
yet TO show good grounds Tor their
opinions they say they would accept
the position Ii vacancy should &C.
cur, and the court should tender IL TO
either one OF them. AT the present
salary-some at less. Their opin-
ions carry with them great weight,
and show cOncluslvely that the saia-
~ and fees OF the Office are ample.
Mr.. Fortney has not been called
upon To resign, and there IL no dam
ger OF such happening. He would
not resign IL the salary were one
half less than IL Is.
There Is a question underlying this
whole matter of vastly greater Inn
portance than the mere increase of
the salary of one public officer, for
with such addition TO the expenses
must come Others, whose salaries are
smaller In proportion TO the duties
performed than the prosecutors.
While the bulk OF the heavy taxa
tion so patiently borne by the people
Ii necessary ana unavoidable, the
frequent allowances for items that
may seem small In themselves will
swell the aggregate until the increase
becomes visible. When shall the
halt be made? If taxes cannot be
reduced, can there not be n stop to
the increase 1t Is very nice TO draw
n good salary from the treasury with
an easy position to fill by which TO
earn 1t; but the money Is not so
easily raised by the masses, and
many a taxpayer has to practice the
most rigid economy and self-deuial
In order to meet the demands of the
tax gatherer. The tax rate Is now
about two per cent, which amounts
to fully one-third the rental value of
improved farms, and the people
cannot afford to bear additional bur.
dens, unless they are made necessary
for proper and legitimate purposes.

Every effort was made 10 release him, but e
no avail
With one child clinging 70 her neck and
the baby on her shoulders, Mrs. Davis worked
desperately, but the fastened foot could moi
