The condition of the county finances
as far as the reduction Of the debt and
tax levy is concerned, will be found in
tabulated form on the editorial page Of
this paper. The statement of the reduc.
ton of the debt is taken from the Au.
ditor's books, and is correct. The fig
ures should not only be read, but stud.
led. 1t is no Insignificant matter to the
taxpayers Of this county that the debt
has been reduced more than one hund.
red thousand dollars in three years, and
John Foust, the present County Com.
missioner, who is before the people for
reelection with such record, should
not fail to receive hearty endorsement
at the polls from the electors of the
county.

1t has become proverb "that the
proper study Of man is man." While
DIR. Mary F. Newgeon, a few weeks ago
in this place, opined that the common
study OF mankind is woman. Now we
submit that the most mysterious study
for any one, Jew or gentle, man or
woman, is Democratic editor; and for
proof OF that assertion, point to the vare-
gated utterances contained in the Hills
boro Gazette. Its mysterious silence,
where it would be! expected to know
something, taken in connection with its
deep reasonings where it really kaows
nothing, would cause an Indian statue to
hold its breath.

II is highly gratifying to observe the
calm serenity of the Democrats OF High
land county in the present campaign.
We are informed that James E. Camp
bell is expected in Hillsboro some time,
either to open or to close the campaign,
we don't know which. If he comes as
he did to Chillicothe, it makes no dif-
ference which, but II the Demmies can
maintain their present equanimity until
the 9Th Of November, the Republicans
will promise to close the campaign in
good style for them.

Mr.. Editor The NEWS. .HEARLD has
the Endorsement Of large number Of
people ofall political parties for denounc-
ing the wholesale purchase Of votes at
elections in Highland county. The com.
munication on that subject in your issue
of September 9Th has been one means Of
calling general and serious attention to
the traffic in votes in our midst, as well
as to the recent changes in our statute
under which anyone pays out money to
influence voters may be sent to the peni-
tentiary, and prosecution for such
offences is rendered less difficult. Peo-
pie are beginning to realize necessity
for the present rigid law on the subject.
They are commencing to ask how man
who holds an Office, for his election to
which he pays out-for corruption pur-
poses-a years salary or more, will make
ends dsmeet-exceptb by dishonest methods.
No known defalcation has yet occurred
in the county-as result of the traffic
but people are wondering how long we
are to escape such calamity. No county
officer has been impeached for the taxa
ton of illegal fees, but the remark is
frequently heard, 1T is only matter Of
time, how short no one can tell" Since
the present campaign commenced there
has been noticeable something more
than mere inclination to prosecute
offenders against election laws. Unless
present signs are deceptive, q determined
efort, will be made at the coming elect.
ion to put an end to this infamous traffic
in votes. We shall see, at all events.
how much in earnest are those good
citizens who have declared their inten.
ton to remedy the great evil. If you
will permit suggestion: It would not
be amiss to publish synopsis Of the
election laws, or 30 much as relates to
offences under them. II.

Rev. Sam Jones is credited with being
the author of the above heading. It is
very significant request to make Of any
one, and we are impressed with the pro-
priety of calling the attention of our
neighbor to this request of Sam Jones.
Last week the Gazette man delivered
himself thusly: "The News HERALD
has no word to say against the crime of
purchasing votes, and it is supposed to
voice the sentiments of the men on the
ticket"
We hope we do voice the sentiment OF
every man on the ticket, and that senti-
ment, with the plain spoken differences
Of this paper, are against Doodle, as
our neighbor calls it, in the campaign.
We have denounced the practice, and do
80 again, of uring money in elections, tax
ing part of the blame home to the Re-
publican party. But our neighbor, true
to Democratic instincts and ways, gener-
ously unloads the whole Of the guilt at
the door Of the Republican party. when
it is a well.know fact that this baleful
practice originated in this county
through the fine manipulation of Demo
Gratis, and when the charge is boldly
made-and that by Democrats-that
James E. Campbell secured his nomina-
ton through the use Of money, and
when the still more significant fact of
the withdrawal at this time of the candi-
dates ON the Democratic ticket in Ross
county, because Of the Doodle demanded
by the management that county. We
denounce the practice in general, and
have already raised our voice against it
(see issue of September 5th), but claim
that the charge is falsly made when set
down to Republicans, as it is done by
the Gazette. Neighbor, recall the past
history Of Democracy in Highland coun.
ty and caution your own men and we
will aid you. HE that is without ain

The issue in the present campaign
adopted by James E. Campbell and sup
porters is opposition to Gov. Foraker As
q man and a denunciation of the regis.
tration laws, which have done 80 much
for the purity of elections in this State.
The verdict OF the people may be safely
predicted in this case.

The London "Times" Says That Lord Sails
bury is Luke Warm.
LONDON, Dec. 2.-The Times is devoting
a good deal OF space lately to the agitation
of the Alaska and fishery question. The
government is urged not to acquiesce in it's
policy on the part OF the United States,
which will completely exclude the British
interest from the benefits Of sealing. The
claim OF the United States that Behring
sea is American water selely is elaborately
contradicted by the Times, old stock argu-
ments being brought forward in strong ar
ray.
Lord Salisbury does not show any evi.
dence of desiring to respond to the question,
and indeed the Liberals commenting on the
Times article openly declare the premier
does not care to have any trouble with the
Washington government. They rather un-
kindly remark he would prefer to confne
his vigorous foreign policy to bullying and
harassing little country like Portugal
though British fnancia! and commercial
interests which inspired the dispute with
Portugal, are no more extensive than those
involved in the Alaska seal fishery ques-

alization cases which has set half the town
wild with glee and placed the other half in
the depths OF despondency.
The purport OF the decision is that no
alien who is member OF the Mormon
church, is a fit person to be made citizen
OF this country. Should the other Utah
judges uphold Judge Anderson in his decis-
ion the effect on the Mormon people, politi.
cally, will be most disastrous. The opin.
ion covers forty-six pages OF type-writing
and the judge took over an hour to read
it. The court house was crowded with
spectators, Chief Justice Zane, Associate
Justi,e of the Supreme Court Judd,
all the leading lawyers OF the bar,
prominent business men and fash.
ionably dressed ladies making up
the audience. But few Mormons were
present and not single leader of the
church was to be seen. Only one of this
Mormons' attorneys was in court, it evil
IDENTIFY being foregone conclusion in their
minds as to how the judge would decide.
The court room rang with applause at
the close OF the reading OF the opinion and
the Gentiles gathered at the street corners

one another on the glorious decision.

utely impossible to have secured such
evidence Of the REASONABLE
of Mormonism as was produced

relied here for years with greater freedom

II WAsHNGToN, Dec. 2.-Little or no ez
citement attending the opening Of the Fifty
first congress on the senate side and tn
public curiosity seemed largely transferre,
to the house. The interest in the foo
was devoted largely to the senators from
the new states. They had seats assigned
them on the Republican side. Senator
Casey of North Dakota, took seat on th,
end Of the second row against the nortl
| wall; directly behind him sat the Washing
ton senators, Allen and Squire, while Petit
grew and Moody OF South Dakota in the
fourth row, near the center of the room
Senator Pierce Of North Dakota, has the
end seat in the fourth row, but he was not
present to-day.
On the Democratic side are two seats. so
far unassigned. They are to be occupied by
the senators from Montana, when they
have been chosen.
At noon Vice-President Morton entered
the senate chamber. The chaplain opened
the proceedings with prayer. The oath Of
Office was administered by the vice.presi-
dent to Senators Chandler OF New Ham.
shire and Nathan Dixon OF Rho lie Island.
The credentials OF Moody and Pettigrew OF
South Dakota and Allen and Squirss OF
Washington were presented.
Platt moved the cath OF Office be ad.
ministered. The motion was agreed to,
and the four new senators, each escorted
by senator, proceeded to the clerks
desk amid applause from the galleries and
took the oath of Office.
Edmunds and Harris were appointed
committe to join a like committee from
the house to inform the president that
congress was ready to receive any commu-
nicatlon he may choose to make.
A resolution providing for the continu.
ance OF the select committee on the trans.
portation and sale of meat product was
agreed to.
Aldrich offered a resolution for the ap-
pointment of select committee OF nine
senators to be called thequadro-centennial
to which shall be referred all
bration of the 4O0th anniversary OF the
discovery Of America.
Mr.. Hoar said it has been the custom OF
the senate to assign the new senators to
their respective classes as soon as thay
had taken the oath, but now for the first |
time the senators from three states entered
at the same time. His reso.
luton, he said, proceeded the theory that
senator's stood al entire equality With |
signed to the short or long term. The fact |
that the proclamations evidencing the ad-
mission Of the two Dakotas preceded
Washington by two days was due to the |
greater distance the returns from the
latter state had to come and it gave the |
Dakotas no just title to priority.
Mr.. Vest inquired whether there was any |
ching in the resolution in reference to Mon.
tana.
Nothing, replied Mr.. Hoar. do not
that the senators from Mon |
tana are here or likely to be here very
soon. The senators from Montana will
lose nothing by not being included in the
resolution.
After swearing in the new senators the
senate adjourned.
