The Diamond Picnic Again.

Editor Register:
Please permit me to answer One
Who Was There, and also prepare to
receive the censure voted on you by
Diamond Lodge F. NJ. B. A. for allow
ing One Who Was There to call Us
Democrats through your paper.
We are truly sorry to learn that
such a man as One Who Was There
had ever visited this neck of the
woods, for he begins and ends his re-
monstrance with one continual string
of misrepresentation. Mr.. Brinkley
is not an office seeker, although a Re
publican, which is an exception. Mr..
J.rinkley spoke in the forenoon, &C
cording to previous arrangements and
talked one and one half hours, but the
afternoon was to be divided among
five or six speakers, as, owing to the
rain, there were but few there until af-
ter noon. The speakers were notified
that no one would be allowed to talk
more than thirty minutes under any
circumstances. Mr.. Stewart was the
first speaker on the program for the
afternoon, and he was called forth and
took the stand, and we supposed he
heard the announcement that no one
would talk over thirty minutes, and
he was allowed to talk just thirty
minutes and called down, but We
learned later that he did not under
stand the announcement.
Now in regard to Mr.. Stewards
speech, he said on taking the stand
that he had been instructed by the
committee to make no old political
speech, and was to talk on matters
pertaining to the good of the order.
But instead he virtually gave the op-
pressed and grumbling farmers the
lie, by proceeding to set forth the
prosperous condition of the farmers at
the present time. He said if they did
not have all they needed it was be-
cause they were lazy or extravagant.
But the old clod hoppers took that all
right, thinking that the speaker was
yet in his sins, and the scales Were yet
hanging ON his political eyes.
But fOrbearance almost ceased to be
virtue when the speaker said that
e farmers had something in their

To the Tax Payers of Elm Township.
An Investigation was made by the
Township Board at their April meet
ing of the causes that led to our town.
ship Indebtedness.
One item of this was a larger
amount of extra work reported by the
road overseers than usual made neces.
sary partly by the flood in 1883, and
more especially because of the difficult
ty of getting the men onto the roads in
sufficient numbers at one time. This
may seem a small matter to those who
"have not been there, but IL Is an
almost invariable complaint made by
overseers.
A want of sufficient tools Is often
urged, but our trustee has met this
trouble by making three districts of
the territory before occupied by 6, and
enabling the overseer to double his
force of men and tools.
The Board are agreed also that the
road grader purchased last year land
upon which all due payments have
been made is giving fair satisfaction
when properly handled.
BY "proper handling" we mean that
when much soil is to be moved that it
will in almost all cases pay to pillow
i'm advance of the grader. No matter
what remarkable stories the agents
may tell OF the power of their machines,
but if they had been intended for
blowing we should look for point
and Landslide tied onto it somewhere.
Now that the road work may be
done with the least outlay possible
and that the "way out" may appear,
every man who has road work to do
is most earnestly and urgently reques-
ted to respond promptly to the call of
his road overseer, and thus do his part
in bringing the cost Of our road work
to its lowest possible limit.
BY order of TIP. Board.

West of the River,

eyes, and that something was lice and
large enough to be mistaken for 'coons.
We can take the lie from q political
speaker as we sometimes think 1t ie
only sly way they have of trying to
claim kin with us. But we don't like
to be called lousy and not be permit
ted to ask question.
Now, In regard to the interruption,
there was not one Democrat or Knight
of Labor that made any interruption,
as One Who Was There would make 1t
appear. They were all Republicans,
mot politicians, but "Old Abe" Re
publicans, who think more of princi-
pie and country than any political
crank. Those are the men that mis-
used Mr.. Stewart,-if asking him civil
questions and facts mis-uses him. If
there was any other political faith rep
resented in the question quorum it
was one that was a Greenbacker and
we are not positive of that. One Who
Was There said he heard nothing but
Union Labor and knights of Labor
and Democrat. He must have been
out talking to some sore-head, for
nothing of that kind came from the
speakers stand.
He said he dare not tell all that he
heard and saw that day. We don't
know why or what kind of visions
flashed over his pragmatical mind, for
there was nothing secret about the
meeting, and we cannot account for
1t unless he was connected with those
original packages he spoke of; for he
is the first man we have heard of see
ing or feeling the effects of the pack
ages.
He further endeavors to throw some
reflections on the Lodge about the
honor the ladies gave to them, as to
whether they were worthy or not. III
he would read and digest wha. lie on
that banner, he would cast no more
reflections on the order. He said
the order advocates peoples ticket.
So 1t does; and so should he, If he
wishes the people to rule; but he
thinks: Democrats and Union
Labor will vote as usual, and but a
few weakened Republicans will vote
the peoples ticket, and have men in
office that he wished were not there"
Poor fellow! Is he yet dreaming?
Does he think a few weakened Re-
publicans can elect the peoples ticket?
But nay, there will be strong, bold
men from all parties vote the peoples
ticket and vote her straight.
We are truly sorry that any one was
so offended at our social picnic, but If
lage shoes pinch small feet we cannot
help it. But as a whole our picnic
was a grand success and enjoyed by
all. The above Is substantially the
facts in the case and we wish to cor
rect the statement i'm last weeks REG
IsTER only i'm justice to the Lodge,
but all in best of spirits.
Vain Speaker for his party fears,
And mistakes for lice those bitter tears.
He tries to dry them mp to soon,
And points them to the hunters coon
That sat upon the limb SO nice,
But in reality was only lice.
But in accents clear the farmers said:
Don't give us 'coons instead of bread -
And thus ends the festive picnic day
