District Attorney.

Elsewhere correspondent calls our
attention to the fact that a district at
torney is to be elected this fall, and sug-
gests the Hon. o. G. Hess, of this town,
as the republican candidate for that po-
sition. The suggestion is timely and
wise, and while we have not had the time
to consult Mr.. Hess to see whether he
would be a candidate, there can be no
question as to his ability for the position,
and that he would be a popular candi-
date. The REGISTER cheerfully endorses
all its correspondent says and there is no
doubt that if Mr.. Hess will allow his
name to be used, the east part OF
the district will be solid for his nomina-
ton, and while the district is close.
if nominated he will be elected; which
would mean district attorney who
would attend to the duties of his office
and be credit to the people Of this
district.

The tariff reformers refuse to be salts
fled by any concession short of absolute
free foreign trade and its necessary ad-
iunct of increased taxation on the prop
erty and business of the country. The
lack of candor in their discussion of the
tariff law is made conspicuous by the
appeals OF free trade attorneys to the
credulity OF their bearers. Along with
the hourly discredited charges that the
amount of>taritf is ultimately paid by
consumers, goes other equally untenable
theories and assertions that every bust
ness man in this country knows to be
false. Nearly every merchant in this
country is selling tariff protected goods
as oheaply as similar articles can be
bought in any part of the world, and
some of these articles are sold for less
than the tariff would be if imported.

The Speakership contest is one of the
most interesting of the kind in years.
Last winter, too early for safe predic-
ton, the friends of Mills thought he had
the advantage. After that the scales
inclined to Crisp, of Georgia. In the
beginning much was heard of Western
candidate, but latterly Springer's boom
has seemed to depend on the failure of
the farmers movement. The difficulty
in Crisp's way from the start of di-
vided home delegation seems to increase.
1t seems impossible for Crisp to accede
to the Ocala platform without which ac-
cession four members of the Georgia
delegation say they cannot vote for him.
The question arises will they demand as
much of any other candidate? Will
they go to Hatch or Springer?

Acting Secretary Chandler has render
ed decision in tho case Of Harnish
against Wallace, on appeal from the find
ing of the local land officers at Sacra-
mento, Cal, which will materially change
the practice of the Department as to
agricultural entries which are subse-
quently found to be mineral in character.
The Acting Secretary holds that " in or
der to defeat any agricultural entry on
the ground Of the mineral character of
the land, it must be shown that mineral
was known to exist at the time Of the
entry" Heretofore the practice has been
to cancel agricultural entries where
mineral was discovered at any time prior
to tho issuance of the patent.

A Good Suggestion.

LAMAR, August 18th, 1891.
Editor Register.-
AS the time is approaching when can
didates for District Attorney will be
placed in the field by both political par
ties, would it not be well for the repub-
icans of this judicial district to be
thinking OF some good, reliable, republi-
can attorney for that position ? AS the
west end of the district had the last can
didate it seems to me no more than fair
and just that this year it should be con-
ce ,ded to the east side, and while / have
not consulted with the gentleman, yet l
would suggest Hon. o. G. Hess as can
didate for that position. Mr.. Hess is a
sound, reliable and able lawyer and pos
sesses every qualification necessary for
successful district attorney; he is besides
staunch and true republican, was
gallant union soldier who was severely
wounded during the service,and he would
reflect credit upon the office il elected to
it. He is well known in the district and
in my opinion would il nominated, run
far ahead of his ticket. A number Of
your readers woul be pleased to hear
your views upon the matter.
Very respectfully,
FARMER.
