THE question now before the news
paper fraternity is, when man dies
from the effects of drinking whisky is
it best to say so frankly or attribute
the untimely occurrence to Bright's
disease as heretofore? The old way in
many things is the best way, and we
prefer to retain our good looks and
winning ways for many years yet, so
the man who dies with the jim-jams in
Clay county is safe so far as the Times
is concerned, if there are any now on
that line.-Clay County Times.

This county has, in the opinion OF
the doctors, been distressingly healthy
thus far in 1889. The good health Of
the people, the wonderful crop pros
poets and the growing hope and belief
that American farmers are awakening
to the need of q united effort to break
the great protection (?) combinatin that
has succeeded in drawing another sinch
around the body polite, puts our peo-
pie in a very good humor indeed.

JUST now farmers are having to sell
their butter for almost nothing, and
we learn of many of them feeding milk
to hogs in preference to making it into
butter. One reason of this state OF
affairs can be found in the manu-
facture of oleomargarine. This stuff
will keep better than butter in warm
weather. and in cheap hotels and board
ing houses is preferred at this season
for that reason. Another instance of the
manufacturing industry fourishing at
the expense of the farmer.

The cOroner'S jury, 1t Is SAID. Will
report the blame of the bursting of the
dam that caused the fearful catastrophe
at Johnstown, Pa. lies with the mil
lionaire fishing club, who did not use
proper precaution in building the dam
in proper manner. Thus does the
money of few worthless drones, whose
pleasure must be bought at any price,
bring about death and destruction to
thousands of innocent lives and mil
lions of dollars worth of property. A
few wealthy New Workers threw few
thousand dollars into cheap dam
across q mountain valley and stored a
vast body of water for their pleasure
only, neither thinking nor caring what
danger their fish pond held in store for
humanity living in the
peaceful valley below. Will the laws
of the land punish those few mil
ionaires for their criminal careless
ness? Hardly, because a few more
thousands of dollars will be thrown
into the pockets of able lawyers, and
the cause of justice damned for the
benefit of the pleasure seekers. Truly
our country is losing its Wanted indie
pendence and proud distinction as a
of the people, for the peo-
pie, when money can do all things.
How long will we stand such a state of
affairs? How long will the party of
the money power remain to make our
laws and administer them?

Aaron Bell is starting fishery and
has stocked pond with 100 carp.
Matt Robert has nearly an acre in one
pond and has it well stocked. These
ponds will return their owners good
profit soon.-Lyons Tribune.
Is THERE any reason why many
farmers in Barton county could not
have their own fish ponds? There is
never year when rains are not of
sufficient frequency to keep small
pond covering few acres of land, full
of water. The fish industry would
be another point to score for the pro-
posed plan of increasing moisture in
prairie countries by the creating of
ponds or lakes wherever practicable.

have added to our corps of cor

different parts of the county. All
the county is not represented, however,

time at all for bright young man or
woman to jot down the local happen

excellence of a county paper is to be

there is man, although by profession
a lawyer, who has large heart that

JUDGE CONVERSE.

In Judge converse the people OF Je-
rauld county have representative
man who is closer to the people than
any man in any of the adjoining coun-
ties, a man OF sterling integrity and
marked ability. A man who for years
in Iowa represented his district, first
in the lower and then in the upper
house Of the legislature; an attorney
with a reputation second to none in his
state, and one that would never accept
fee or try case except on the side
of justice. Judge Converseis such a
man as this judicial district should
elect as its circuit Judge, and we be-
lieve that if his name is once presented
he can be nominated by acclimatjon.
Hon. Alonzo Converse Is our candidate
for judge of this district.-Alpena
Journal.
TO the above might be added; that
Judge Converse was for two terms
county judge of Butler county, Iowa.
That he has been practicing law for
36 years, and his standing. ability and
re putation can be learned by address,
ing letter to any attorney, contempt
raneous with the Judge in Northern
Iowa.
Editor Stoddard, or the Sioux Falls
Argus Leader, labors through nearly
three and a half column article to
give in "plaln words" his position on
prohibition. He thinks prohibition
makes the state 10 purer than before
and that all men are equal and shat
the vilest and lowest-llyed saloon man
is just as good as the most sanity
preacher" In the midst Of all he gives
the most imbeclle remedy for the sa-
loon evil it has ever been our lot to
read. He says:
Instead of the system which the
prohibitionists propose-of trying to
force men by law to be good-What
sort of plan would be to take the tax
derived from the sale of intoxicating
liuuors-rather than to do away with
them altogether-and build some pub
lie places of recreation, amusement,
and education, which would supply the
place of the saloon and finally do. away
with It's perniclous and degrading in
huences? The money expended for
beastial pleasures in connection with
the saloons OF the country would If
rightly used go a long way toward
making the people happy and con-
tented.
What! Does he believe that we
should cause calamity that We may
have an opportunity to show our char
tiles? Should do evil that good may
come? We can readily believe that
"the yilest and lowest-liyed saloon
keeper is just as good as the man who
advocates such a theory. What is the
matter with doing away with, the sa-
loon entirely. and divert not only the
tax on whiskey but that paid by the
man who drinks, into legitimate chan
nels of trade, and the building. OF pleas.
