TO NERVOUS PEOPLE.

Pick up any newspaper, from Main
to Texas, or Florida to Alaska, and
you will find seductive ADVERTISE
ments with the above heading. Pre-
sumably these are for people whose
nerves are weakened by disease, but
there are many other kinds of ner-
vous people in this queer world.
Some are subject to all sorts of ap-
prehensions when about to take a
journey. The train may run off the
track. The boiler of the locomotive
may burst. They have heard the
bridges on some roads are not safe.
The train may start ahead of time
and they get left. They may miss
their connection with another line.
The road does not run into a union
depot. The conductors and break
men are holy terrors. The "candy
butchers on the trains are insolent.
Their baggage will surely be smashed.
They know their trunks will get lost.
They will be misdirected when they

one member OF society and another is
the best system.
Society to-day tempts the poor
man to dishonesty by withholding
from him his rights. Under the goad
of pressing needs, which society will
not recognize, he steals. Society
then arrests him, shuts him up in q
penal institution, assumes the ex
pense OF his board and clothes, and
taxes the other members OF society
to pay the bills. Would it not be
economy for society to supply the
mans needs in the first place?
We need-and Nationalism pro

will allow every man his natural
rights. These l sum up as the right
to 'life, liberty and the pursuit O
happiness. But Life means q

The Bonding Question.

EDIToRs ARGUS: Permit u brief reply to
your editorial On the bonding quest ion.
My opinion is to issue bonds only f.r i'm
mediate wants, until taxes come ia ia Jan
nary, 1891. seeing no necessity for more.
our present bonded debt may run about
about eight years yet before it becomes
due. II redeemed before that time We
should undoubtedly have to pay "a pre-
ini,im Tor bonds, and ! .lo not believe We
could borrow .n county bonds at I per

there will be need tn issue bonds to take ~
county warrants and save cost tu county

iicaily Ia proposing to bond th. count v f.r

Elsewhere will he found another
letter from Morris on the bonding
question. All will agree with him ON
the necessity OF economy in the man
agement of public affairs. The tend
cncy of the times is toward extrava-
g,nce. Fergus county has the small
est debt of any county in the state
and 10y Judicious management can
retain that enviable position. As re-
CARDS its bonded debt of S2J 1000. the
bonds were ISSUED four years ago for
"a period of twelve years. with the
privilege of redeemins them after six
years. We think it would be we'll to
bond the county this fall in an amount
sufficient to cover out Il anding in
lebtedness at that time and To take
up the bonds two years hence. This
will avod bonding twice and save I
per cent. as the larger bond can be
placed at > per cent. the present
bonds are drawing q per cent We
believe with our correspondent that
our asssess-d valuatio will reach
over 5000, 600 this year, from which
sufficient revenue can b- derived to

Is secure. The only point is to handle
