every voter in the exercise OF his

pretty good record. The criticism that

that he has not pleased some OF the

Sedgwick county, one OF the new
est and smallest In the state, Is
claimed by the Julesburg Sentinel to
be one OF the best OF financially. 1t
commenced business last April. The
tax levy will bring in s2a 900, about
50, 900 going to the state. War
rants to the amount Of $4,000 have
been issued, and the treasurer has al
ready made a call for $5OO,5l. Soon
warrants Will be paid in cash as they
are issued.
The outlook In general for this Sec
tion Is good. The Industrious of our
people are prosperous; the drones and
mOssbacks cannot hope to be so any
where. What, then, more can VIC ask 7
With present prosperity for the indus
uious Of our people, with brighter
outlook than for years among our
various industries, all considered, with
the previlege Of living In the
brightest, pleasantest and best country
on Gods foot stool, why should we
not feel contentedp Let us press on,
keeping in view the fact that 1t can be
but short time ut best before our
county must rank with the highest.
These things being true, let us begin
the new year by burying old annimosi-
ties, and with an eye to the brilliant
future 50 surely awaiting us, push on
to that reward long ago earned by
persistent and determined work on
the part of her people.

Before the ninth animal convention
of the state bar association of New
York, ut Albany, Jan. 2ls:, Colonel
Robert g. Ingersoll delivered the ad-
dress upon tho subject Grimes
Against Criminals,n in which ut the
outset he showed that punishment by
torture and death have failed to abntc
crime.
"Crimes were committed said he,
ITO punish crimes and crimes vera
done 70 prevent crimes. 1t Is safe 10
say governments have committed far
more crimes than they have prevent
ed" He said: "We know the dis.
eases Of the flesh and blood are trans
mitted from one generation to anoth-
er. Are the diseases Of the brain,
the deformitics Of the soul or mind al
so trans,nittedp am perfectly satisli-
ed there are millions OF people incapa-
ble Of practicing certain virtues. We
don't blame man because he IL not
a sculptor, a poet, . painter or II states
man.
"We say he has no. the genius.
Are We certain II does not require
genius to be goodY
"lf We are to change the conduct Of
men we must change their conditions.
Extreme poverty and crime go
hand in hand
"Tcnemcnts and flats and rented
lands are in my Judgement enemies OF
civilization. They put few in palaces
and many in prisons"
Coming down to the question Of
what can be done for the reformation
OF criminal he said he should be
treated with Kindness.
Every right should be given him
consistent with the safety of society
He should neither he degraded nor
robbed. Why should the state take
without compensation The lauur OF
criminals, and why should they, after
having been imprisoned;for years, be
turned out without the means OF sup-
port. Would it not be Far better to
pay these men for their labor, lay
aside their earnings, put this money ~,
interest so that when convict is re-
leased lie will have not merely enough
to pay his way back TO the place from
which he was sent, but enough to
keep the wolf Of crime from the door
Of his hearth"
Referring TO the question, what
shall he done with the habitual Grim
inHi, the speaker said: "Put one
Thousand thieves on AN island. Com
pell them to produce what they eat
and the large majority would be op-
posed TO theft, I'm certain such u COM
munity would be scf-suppor'iug,
Keep the SEXES absolutely apart
Those who arc beyond the power Of
reform should not have the liberty 10
reproduce themselves. They should
live apart and dying leave no heirs.
The death penalty inflicted by a gu--
ernment Is perpetual excuse for
mobs, and as long ;.s states iniiict the
death penalty mobs vii! follow their
example.
In closing Colonel Ingcrsoll said:
"lgnorance, filth grc the missionaries
OF crime. As long AZ dish0nsrable
success ouiranks honest effort, rs long
rs society bows aud cringes before
great thieves, there will bo little oncs
enough 10 fiji the juils."

Not one i'm thousand of Ameri-
can voters ever held an office worth
five minutes elec.ioneering.
Not one in thousand owes for the
least favor which a politician was
ever able to give. not one in thou
sand, in any truthful sense, owes one
moments allegiance to the party
which has claimed his vote as it he
were demented chattle to be led
all his life by wink, nod or snad
Of the finger.
Where is the sense in longer allow
ing one man to do all the governing.
all the leading, all the planning, and
pocketing all the profits and enjoying
all the good living, while 999 march
and vote and live like cattle?
The private citizen, the honest man,
must act now. With Il single future
general election conducted as the last
two have been, the condition Of the
common citizen will be without hope,
except through turmoil and bloodshed.
1t cannot be shown that, in the worlds
history, freeholds, homes, manufac-
torres and plants of reliable staple
business have been passing so rapidly
into the hands of an invisible soulless
aristocracy, domestic and foreign, as
in this very year 1890. 1t cannot be
shown that the perpetuity OF our re-
public was ever before in so much
danger as now.
Even if secession Of the southern
states had been permanent and sue
cessful, it would, at its worst, only
have resulted in another republic.
But, where are we to-day? Our
landed estates andfi magnificent mater
ial resources are now every month
passing into the hands of an aristoc-
racv, and from that monarchy is
only question of brief time.-Chi-
c0gO Cypress.

THE present political signs indicate
that the old party bosses and olfice-seek-
ing crews are beginning to read the hand
writing which makes them say political
matters are quite complicated at present.
New party fellows are beginning to read
that the way is clear and the prospects
are Frightening for both the old compli-
cation party bosses to look back with
pride for a seat or place to stand away
uack i'm the rear. Of course, this will be
hard on ofiice-seekers, but this is, ami
ought to be, peoples government; ami
their rights must and will be respected
by the people.

IT is learned that the reason Harri-
son proposes to veto amy free coinage
bill is "'because all Of the religious
papers Of the country are opposed TO
free COINAGE" This, at least, is the
reason he gave Senator Jones, OF Ne
vada. We have thought for some
time that Benjamin was a coward,
and now we know it. The idea that
lie should throw the blame of his du-
plictv upon the religious newspapers !.
Benjamin Harrison is the tool of the
Wall street gold-bugs. That is the
reason he does not favor the free coin
age of silver, and that is the only
reason.
