THE COUNTY ATTORNEY WAR,

The readers Of the Republican are
still being dosed with the county at
toruey literature, whether they ap-
preeIate It or not. The public In
general seem 10 be Just n little bit
tired Of the whole matter, owing per-
hsps TO the way the attack has been
conducted, and the source from
which it emanates. On one side we
have q citizen who has lived here for
fifteen years, always taking q hand
In matters OF public concern, work
ing In temperance movements, and
altogether q representative citizen,
with . cultured lady for his wife,
who has never failed to respond TO
calls for her services In literary or
charitable circles, and IL highly es-
teemed by all who are acquainted
with her. Together they have rear
ed q family Of children here in Sa-
lima, their home. This gentleman Is
the victim Of an onslaught from
whom? FROM q man who has lived
side by side with him In our midst
for fifteen years, and whose daily
acts aud character have been open
before Us All7 No, indeed. II L.
made by q man who fifteen years
ago was In his teens. A man who
has lived In our midst less than a
year, and one, that no matter how
loud his professions are, We know
nothing at all about. His past 10 q
blank TO us, aud will probably re.
main so, unless someone takes the
trouble TO look it up. We are told
he was district clerk OF Douglass
county for several years. II so, he
made his living by the fee process.
Does anyone know whether all those
fees were correctly estimated, and
strictly within the letter Of the law?
We are not the defender Of Mr.
Lovitt. We are merely q citizen OF
6allna, and have known him for
thirteen years, and always respected
him rs one Of our good citizens. Po-
litlcally he has always been on the
other side, and we have never affili-
atsd with him In any sense. But a.
q man we have respected him, and
We think IL due Mr.. Lovitt that
the daily dose Of the RspULIicdn be
stopped. IL you have q case against
him, take Il to the courts, and there
settle lt, a. all such things should be
settled, II you are making the fight
purely from the morality standpoint.
By your continual hAmmering you
are working up feeling OF sympa-
thy for Mr.. Lovitt that perhaps he
doesn't even deserve, but will surely
get the benefit Of.

rHg soRrHWEsr BOON.

The great northwest boom is said
10 be still on, though sustained
against serious obstacles. The towns
Of Washington, Oregon and Idaho
are still Increasing In population,
but the country, the wealth-produc-
ing region, is still In Its primeyAl,
uubroken simplicity. The stuPen-
dous pines rear their lofty branches
800 feet IN the air and laugh ct the
despair Of farmers who would clear
the land to plant crops. The people
Of the towns trade for . livelihood,
live Off one another, producing no
wealth, subsistence gradually gnaw-
ing away the little pile Of wealth
that each man brought with him.
To be sure, there is some addition
al wealth made out Of the soil. The
Portland OrcgoRian says . little
over Is million bushels Of wheat
were produced last year In the three
states mentioned. They produced
wool also to the value Of 100000
fruit t25O, 600, precious metals, cop
per, stock and vegetables tl0, 900. 600;
all told. products valued at s25 co.,
600. This is what keeps up the
three booming northwestern states.
Kansas alone this year will raise
products worth four times ~ much.
A boom is like q sky-rOcket. IL
goes up in blaze of glory with Q
fine noise, but it must come down.
Kansas does not want o boom. IL
can do Us no good, though we can
stand IL because we are constantly
producing new wealth. when the
facts are examined people will real
ize the advantages Of the great
world-feeding central state. They
will appreciate the desirableness Of
owning land In . state the increase
from whose soil can amount to $780,
1900 In Q single year. As the
great fact sinks into the public mind
that the government lands are SUBJ
stantislly taken up. that compare
lively few acres remain to be brought
under the plow, that the people Of
the United States alone require In
1891 nearly T5,OOO, 900 more bushels
OF wheat for food than they required
In 1881; that In 1909 they will require
all the wheat, for food and seed,
which the country can produce, the
inestimable value OF Kansas soil |
will be realized and those people who |
bought Il st s25 an acre will be re-
garded with envy.
The northwest IL q noble country.
Some day when Its forests have been |
felIed, Its mines dug, its soil cultl-
vsted aud Its market expanded by |
the severence Of America into two |
at Nicaragua, IL will be
wealthy and prosperous. But the
boom bubble must burst and the
must start over again,
triumphing over hardshIps by en-
during and not by ignoring them.
Kansas is more fortunate, for the
boom IL behind her. From this time
we will be costantly greater
and more prosperous by . growth
which IL substantial, honest and en-
during. The volatile Kansans who
fiocked to the northwest will be
back again shortly.-Tope-

CLOUD BURST IN COLORADO.

Last Saturday night Colorado In
general, and Pixies Peak region In
particular, suffered the most tremen-
dous food ever known In its history.
Shortly before IL o'clock, . cloud.
burst occurred on the Colorado Mid
land Railway, fifteen miles above
Colorado Springs, and just above
Green Mountain Falls. Immediate
ly after the cloud-burst the whole
earth In the narrow valley was
turned into q raging sea. The rail-
road was completely washed out In
several places. When the torrent
reached the narrow canyon In the
Ute Pass Il carried away everything
before it, and wss at times 100 feet
deep. Within twelve miles the
track was washed In as many as o
dozen places, and railroad officials
said that Il would be three days be-
fore regular trains could run on
time. The great food came rushing
down Fountain Qui Bouille, q small
stream In the Ute Pass. When It
struck Manitou, the Spa Of Colorado,
lying ct the base Of Pixies Peak, Il
spread out over the streets and lawns,
doing much damage to the latter, to-
Rether with flower and vegetable
gardens. Just a. Il was about leay-
Ing the eastern side Of MsnItOu It
struck the track oi the Colorado
Springs Rapid Transit track and
took away 100 feet Of Il In . seconds
time.

We know Of two boys In this eoun-
ty, one Of them aged III and the 9TH
er IA years, who have plowed, plant
ed and cultivated 100 acres OF corn
] this year. IL IL In splendid eondi-
tion, free from weeds, and Is bound
10 net the youngsters q handsome
sum for their work. They have
done this work, aside from doing the
thousand and one chores customary
to boys who help their father on q
big farm. The old gentleman Is SO
well pleased with their efforts that
he has purchased for them o half
section Of land. And by the way,
the money with which be purchased
this half section was earned by farm
Ing during the past four years, In
Ottawa county. He made money
while other people were cussIng the
government. We can think Of quite
q number Of able bodied men In this
county who have not got more than
forty acres Of corn, and even that IL
smothered by the weeds. They are
whining about the government and
the weather and everything else ex-
cept their own laziness. As a mat
ter Of course most Of such men are
Alliance leaders. We don't mean to
say that all Alliance men are lazy
and worthless, nor that the Alliance
has captured all that class. But we
do say that the shiftless, lazy,
whimpering fellow falls q more
ready prey TO that kind Of doctrine
than does the independent, careful
manager, and prosperous citizen.
The more worthless q man II the
more apt he II to blame his misfor-
tunes upon anybody but himself,
and the more apt he is to fall In love
with 3 party which has rs the prin-
ciple plank In Its platform q pitiful
whining about hard luck, and fault
finding with government, and mali
ciOus abuse Of more prosperous
neighbors.-Ainneapolis Messenger.

aovERNMEEr RAILROADS.


While q great deal has been said
during the past year on the subject
Of the government owning and con-
trolling the railroads Of this country,
yet IL remains for the New York
Press to bring out q few figures on
this proposition. II says that this is
the old question Of government con-
troll Of railroads and telegraphs. So
far a. railroads are concerned only q
convention Of ignorant and IN adyIs-
ed men could advocate such q step.
Others would first count the cost.
The roads Of the United States cost
for their construction nearly go, ,0O0,- :
e00,000. The assets Of the railroads
for 1896, ss compiled for Poor's Ada-
UdI, amounted to $40, I22, ,6s5 300.
The proposition that the government
shall own the railroads carries with
it the proposition that the govern
ment shall buy them, for surely not
the widest eyed crank Of the third
party would advocate confiscation.
The purchase Of the roads would
mean taxation Of citizens to pay for
the same. The public debt at the
highest mark it ever reached, In 1883,
after the war, was only 81, IS, ,2Ss, ,l73.
II was debt incurred by absolute
the necessity Of saving the
Union. But the payment OF IL has
made the nation groan at times.
Imagine charging the people with . |
1ebt Of $40, 900, ,0O0, 600 or more for the |
purchase Of the railroads Of the
country! Would the farmers"
Who are supposed to be running the
hird party movement be willing TO
'ay their share Of the taxation that
would be required to buy the rail.
Dads? No, indeed.
