VINO Should be Supported FOR
Office.


A subordinate Alliance in this coun-
ty recently took important political
action Up to this writing no re-
port of the proceedings has reach
ed US, probably on account of some
misunderstanding on the part Of
the persons to whom were entrusted
the duty to furnish the papers
with a copy of the doings of the
meeting. We learn IN an indirect
way that among other resolutions
passed, is one to the effect that the
Alliance will put out candidates of It's
own choosing, and that no person will
be presented for an Office who ever
sought for or held an Office. Now, it
IS we'll understood that the HERALD
is friendly to the Farmers Alliance,
and for months and years has cham
pioned the farmers cause, but it IS
also pretty we'll known that we have
some opinions of our own and are not
afraid to express them when occasion
requires such expression. At this
time we want to say that if the Ali
ance is committed to the doctrine
that they will support no man for an
Office who has ever held a place of
trust an honor, then they have re-
solved to do an unwise thing. We
know of honorable, competent, up
right persons who have filed various
positions, called there by the votes Of
the people, who are none the less to
be hOnored and respected because Of
such service men whose integrity is
unquestioned, whose fidelity to the
trust confded to their care IS not for
a moment to be doubted. Such men
are found in every community. To
say that men are not to be trusted
who have been Justices of the Peace,
Assessors, or other Township or COun-
ty or District or State officers, is en-
tirely too sweeping too unreasOn-
able. Let the test which is to be ap-
Piled to public servants be: rs he or
she honest and competent? If the
answer is in the affirmative, then such
| persons should be eligible to public
| position. Let the mere office-seek-
ers, the political tricksters, the parti-
san claquers be given back seats, but
let the tests on the future candidates
for Office be fair and reasonable.
LATER Since the above was put
in type Mr.. Shin handed us the fol
lowing copy Of Alliance resolutions
r referred to above:
? WHEREAS, the Alliance is composed
of those who formerly held various
political opinions, therefore for the
> sake Of harmony we. the members OF

The HERALD has heretofore pub
lished some information in regard to
the proposed Rock Island branch
from Omaha, Neb, to Phillipsburg,
which branch is referred to by the
press as the Cutoff Our readers
we presume generally know that the
Rock Island has direct line from
Chicago to Omaha which is the ter
minus of that line. It has also
line from Chicago to Colorado cities
by way of Kansas City and st. Joe,
Mo- This Kansas City line passes
through Phillipsburg. Passengers
from Denver bound to Chicago are
taken via Kansas City. If the com
pany would construct the Omaha and
PhIllIpsburg cutoff it would shorten
the route from Denver to Chicago
about seventy-five miles. This the
company is proceeding to do or rath-
er the building of the branch from
Omaha sOuthwestward in the direc-
ton of Phillipsburg has begun, and
the statement has been made by high
Rock Island officials that the cutoff
would be constructed this year. The
HERALD believes that the cutoff
will be as heretofore announced be-
tween our place and Omaha. There
are a great many good reasons for
this belief.

"a Lincoln paper tells of a man

not raise money enough to pay for

We have always thought it looked
badly to see a man put an advertise
ment in the newspapers advertising
his wife, as the slave holder in olden
times advertised his runaway slave,
or as a man would advertise his dog
or horse, that had left his premises.
Generally if real justice were done
the wife would advertise her cruel or
tyranical husband, where there is any
justification for advertising at all.

The observation-disclosures met IN State
Convention at Topeka May 24th. The
Capital says there were l2O persons
in all in attendance, 81 being from
Wichita ana q from other parts.
These 'Saloon-Republicans' sent a
committee to invite Gov. Humphrey
to appear in their meeting as they
wished him to listen to a memorial in
which the demand was to be made for
an extra session of the Legislature to
resubmIt the Prohibition question.
The Governor, in substance, replied
that the State provided him with an
Office where he might be found dur
ing business hours, and that if the
Re-submlssionists wished to memora-
lie him, they could print what they
had to say and submit it to him and
he would consider the matter and de-
eide as to his duty when he had made
up his mind what he ought to do.
The free whiskeyites were wrothy at
this, and denounced the Governor in
the most scathing terms, and declared
they viii leave the Republican party

saloon. The HERALD hopes they may
leave the party and not stand on the
