COUNTY POLITICS.
The pillows of the county political sea are
beginning to roll in and pick up the little
undecided Shells tossing them about and
whispering in their ears the virtues of this
| candidate and the weaknesses of that. The
truth OF the matter is that there are no
flaws i'll the public or private records of
either of the two leading democratic candi-
dates for the nomination as state senator
from this district, and many voters are
| puzzled TO know which one would suit them
best. Capt. Patrick Houstoun was elected
| In 1888 to complete the unexpired term of
Hon. ID. S. Walker, Jr., deceased, and is a
| candidate for reelection. He is president of
Cleveland alliance, and has many warm
| friends outside of the order. Col. Fred |.
( Myers, prominent young attorney of high
character and brilliant mind, is also ia pop
ular candidate for the senatorship, and b is
| friends throughout the county are making
an aggressive fight to secure him the nomi-
nation. Either Of these gentlemen would
ably represent Leon county, and whichever
secures the nomination will poll the full
democratic vote. So much interest is being
manifested in the senatorial fight that all
| seem to have lost sight of the fact that two
representatives to the lower house are also
| to be elected, for as yet no candidates for
| these honors have been announced Il is

1t is plain to be seen that the streets
of Ottawa and the many roads leading
into the city from the country towns
are in Il bad condition. Continued and
heavy rains and thawS has SOftenCd
the earth and made veritable mud
hole. The attention of IA FREE
TRADER reporter was called to con
vcrsation which took place yesterday
between two well-known taxpayers,
and they did not coniine their remarks
to ''mud" alone, but made several inn
pOrtant suggestions which might be
well for all taxpayers to take in con-
sideration and act upon. The CONVEX
sation opened with the remark:
"Well, my friend, the streets are in
a most deplorable condition. Now
Just look at those poor horses Juggling
with might and main to draw that
wagon load of coal. What an outrage
Yes, it Is indeed a deplorable con-
dition," replied the other gentleman.
"In all the older countries in the Old
World-in most of the countries, in
fact, at present-the streets and road
ways are all built Of stone. Even in
the larger cities of the United States
the streets are paved, but this method
is not observed as universally as in
the old country. 1t might he well to
state some of the advantages and
costs OF this work. AT present there
are twenty prisoners in the county
jail in this city. The sheriff feeds
them and is allowed 80 cents per day
for each man. Who pays these bills:
The people of La Sale county-you,
and every other taxpayer must pay his
portion. Many Of these men are va
grants and, being too lazy to work, get
into the county Jail where they eat,
drink and make themselves merry
during the winter months, while many
a poor man with family TO support,
who works hard for $50 a day, must
help support these criminals"

Sacred 10 O,u Mother, Mary Jane Brddy

Sdc1ed 10 O,u Mother, Mary Jane Brddy
On the 9th day of January, 1890
the best Of earthly friends, "Our
Mamma" left behind this world OF
care and trials to enter into those
realms of peace prepared by the
Saviour Of her soul for her who has sc
faithfully performed the duties assign
ed her.
This is the first death that has
broken our family circle, and death to
us was almost puzzle. Our aillictOn
has been great, our cup has been
drained 10 the bitter dregS; and al
though our hearts be broken and the
world will never again seem as it has
to us, still we must rembmbcr that
God is his own interpreter, and will
make all things plain; that He wills
nothing but what is for the best, and
we bow our heads in humble sub
mission and say, "Thy will, O, Heaven
~ Father, not mine, be done"
Cease your weeping, father, brothers
and sisters. Ask yourselves what
death u.s. The answer is, the entrance
to life immortal will be balm to
your wounded hearts.
Here in sleep, SO peaceful and sweet,
Rests a mother so true and dear;
And the silent rain, with its sad refrain,
Falls down like a daughters tear.
Under its sands, with folded hands,
Clasped over heart so dear,
A mother lies with close shut eyes,
Asleep in that sacred bier.
Flowers shall bloom on that sacred tomb,
While the bright, green grass shall wave,
And tc"rs are shed for the quiet dead
Who sleeps in our mamas grave

We find that everything we own from
a toothpick to a sawlog is taxed, ana,
worse than all, we have to pay taxes

of us are paying interest on the lana
we cultivate, but the tax collector
comes along and collects IA tax inn
posed upon it, thereby making us pay
twice. Is this just and equal?
