A young lady living out West has
written a letter to Secretary Tracy,
making a fearful appeal for the present
of banjo. She explains why she
makes the request by saying that she
made known her desire to President
Harrison, in letter which she wrote
him last winter, but complains that the
President did not even send her reply.
She was very much surprised at the in.
gratitude of the President, and would
not believe that he had been so ungal-
liant as to refuse her request until she
had been three times to the post Office
for the letter which never came. Her
sorrow is heightened by the fact that her
father made a wager Of $40 against S25
with q neighbor that~9he President
would send the banjo. She especially
calls the attention of Secretary Tracy
to the fact that. her father lost his bet.
The writer, who Ia about 10 years old,
asks that the President. be notified that
she is very angry with him, but con-
soles herself with the thought that Sec-
retary Tracy is more likely4to be the
next President than Benjamin Harri-
son. The Secretary will prepare dip
lomatic reply within q day or two, but
has not yet decided to furnish the mu-
sical instrument. II,

TARIFF VS.. "POOR.RATEs."

England is II free trade country.
Farmers receive much higher prices
and buy manufactured goods, as a rule
ut cheaper rates than in this country.
This is the ideal of the democratic OF.
ators in this pant. And yet no class
of people have groancd more over
their depressed condition than British
agriculturalists. The reason shat
English farmers are not prosperous
under the above seeming good condi.
tions is told in the awful sentence
quoted elsewhere. which shows that
half their customers are palpers.
The price of what they buy is paid in
part to the manufacturers and another
part in poor rates to support the starv-
ed workmen and their families. Their
manufactured goods come high after
all. If it must be paid, tariff is u
cheaper ard better form of taxation
than ''lOor. rates.''

THOMAS W. aAFFNEY.

Thomas w. Gaffney is the re.
publican candidate for the Office of
Judge of the county court. Mr..
Gaffney is of Irish descent, born in
Canada and is one of the early
immigrants, arriving in this
county in 1879. Ever since Mr..
Gaffney came, he has been one of
the leading men Of the county.
He served one term as county
treasurer, he has good deal ofex.
pelience in public affairs and he
stands among the first of our sue.
cessful attorneys. The Office to
which he aspires requires consider.
able legal learning and q good deal
of sound judgement. No more
sacred trust is given to the law
than the speedy and equitable div.
sion Of estates among the widows,
orphans and other heirs. And in
no other branch of the law are
there so many complications, as in
the "chancery court" as it is call
ed in England. While We do not
think the additional jurisdiction"
to be voted ON. will be carried, still
that is among the possibilities and
if SO, Mr.. Gaffney has all the quail.
fications necessary to a satisfactory
discharge of the duties of the Office.
Mr.. Gaffney is at present a resident
of Bathgate and is well known
among all our citizens as one of
our most enterprising and public
spirited men, a man who can be
trusted and one whose enemies re.
spect, while his friends regard
him. We hope to see him not
only get plurality, but a majority
over both his opponents.

Is the regular nominee for cOun.
ty auditor Mr.. Kabernagle Is of
German blood and is a native of
Maryland. He was for several
years connected with the signal
service of the United States and
on that duty first came to Pembina
i'll 1875. Resigning from the SER
vice he became a permanent citizen
OF this county and has ever been
one of the foremost, as a public
spirited man, in advancing its ill.,
terests. The duties of the county
auditor under the new revenue law
have been very much increased in
amount and responsibility. Not
only is he the chief clerk of the
county commissioners, whose
work is made better or worse in
the direct ratio to his efficiency,
but in the matter of taxation in
which every man is interested,
much depends on the accuracy, and
fairness of the auditors work.
From the time of the assessment to
the collection of the taxes the au.
ditor's work is to supervise, collate
and calculate. It is without doubt
the Office, which more than any
other, requires knowledge Of
methods and business ability. AL.
most every day questions have to
be decided by the auditor in the in.
terest of the county, and sometimes
these questions mean many dollars
to tax payers. 1t is matter of
personal knowledge to us that there
is to-day many thousands of dol.
lars saved to this county by the
actions of Mr.. Kabernagle and
other officials III previous times by
their judgment and action in re.
ference to certain funds. It is a
conceded fact that Mr.. Kabernagle
has made one Of the best officials
that has held Office in this county.
Until the new revenue law took
effect he got along with little or
no clerk hire, though the law
clearly allows it, and did an
amount of work which but few
men arc capable Of. If ever an
officer deserves reelection for faith.
full service John Kabernagle should
be reelected comfy anditor
