Mr.. Sheridan presents his side Of the
scraper case in this issue Of the
Courier. He naturally makes the best
defense possible. Mr.. Sheridan may
have no great ability as a statesman,
but his ability t o smooth things out is
second to none, and yet there are bad
breaks in this scraper deal. Mr.. Sheri-
dan admits that he was aware that the
price was too high. Then why present
his bill until the matter was adjusted
between himself and the wholesale
house. Besides this MIR. Sheridan had
already a months time and it requires
scarcely more than a week to get a
to a letter written to any part OF
the United States. We will, however,
accept Mr.. Sheridan's statement as un-
colored, and We find upon his own
statement that he charged the county
profit on $127.76, which he
claims is the cost of the scrapers as first
billed, including freight. Mr.. Sheridan
had but $1O.26 invested yet he charges
the county nearly $500 profit on each
scraper. Mr.. Sheridan says he refund
ed the $3.50 without any demand.
This may be technically true, but he
will not deny that members of the
board came and talked to him about the
matter before he returned the $3.50.

That Nebraska farmer who raised
LOO bushels of potatoes Oh five acres
this year proved that he knew the ad-
vantages of diversified farming. The
price of potatoes is high while grain is
away down. Nebraska soil appears to
be well adanted to almost all crops and
the time is not far distant when the
farmer of this state will raise a little of
everything. If more Of them had po-
tatoes to sell this year it would be a
good thing for the state.

Invention is at a white heat contin.
ually in the circle of the electricians,
and it is now announced that the
Thompson-H ouston-Edis company
has by great good fortune stumbled
upon an appliance whereby platinum,
the most expensive material used in in
candescent lights, can be superseded
with iron and the cost of globes greatly
reduced. Furthermore, another inves-
tigator has invented a globe that will
be made in sections so that if the glass
breaks it is only the work of a minute
to detach it and put on a new n and
everything goes on as merrily as before.
This is good news to the consumers.

The average salary a month paid
each man teaching in the public schools
of the United States is $42.43. The
highest average salary paid a month in
any state to a man teaching IN the
public schools is to be credited to Mas
sachusetts, $1OS.SS; but the next high
est salary paid is that found in Colora-
do, $95.21. Colorado pays its teachers
more than Massachusetts,; Ohio gives
its teachers twice as much as Maine;

Hold on Quaker.

Some of the independents seem in
clined to 60 back on MI. Sheridan.
The Courier is, as we have said before,
in favor Mr.. Sheridan, in favor of the
present war, also the next. The way
to accomplish a reform Is to vote for
the nominees on the Independent ticket
no matter who they are or how they
were nominated. 1t is different with
the republican ticket. We trust this
is clear to our independent friends and
needs no further explanation.-Cour-

10 those who think Mr.. Sheridan
had no cause for leaving the rotten old
parties (t is said he has belonged to
all of them) we would point them to MIR.
Sheridan's financial standing in 1890
when his taxes were $72 and in 1891
only $50. This is certainly evidence
enough that the value of his personal
property shrunk almost one third. At
this rate, in two years MIR. Sheridan
will be without a dollar.-Courier.

Sheridan's Story.

To the editor of the Indianola
Courier. DEAR SIR
Your political and uncalled fol
attack on me in the Courier OF Oct.
14th, and the manner and tone of your
write-up of the article ON the scraper
question, together with the many mis-.
statements made in your column and
a-half article, injustice to myself and
my friends, calls for more than pass
ing notice. Will you be SO kind and
do me the justice to publish facts con-
corning this matter, emitting any
SANDER or abuse hat might appear in
this article against yourself or your
character as a business man, or any
thing that might appear in the article
that would injure the character of the
parties at the court house or the bank
that are aiding in making this attack
without sufficient cause and written for
political purposes only.
The plain facts are these. In July
| sold to the county commissioners,
Mr.. Bolles, and MIR. Graham. twelve
No. l road scrapers with unners
They asked me what | could furnish
them for. l told them l could not
tell what they would cost now, as | had
not bought any Of them lately, but l
would guarantee the price and make
the price as low as they could get the
same scraper of anyone. l ordered the
scrapers at once and the company bill
cd them to Inc at fifteen dollars each,
making the scrapers at their price,
$4,000, with thirty. five per cent dis
count, making, with discount off, $l17.-
90, drayage, so cents; freight, $lO.2
total, $l27.76. l thought this price
was too high; but it takes time to get
these things rightcd when they once
occur.
In the meantime | billed them to the
commissioners at list price from the
catalogue with ten per cent off, calcu-
lating to make price right when | got
settlement with the company, and just
as soon as | got settlement with the
company l corrected the same to the
county without any demand from any
of the county commissioners or anyone
else, and made the price seven dollars
each or eighty four dollars for the
No. l scrapers with steel n
You misstated my bill to the county in
your article. My bill was for II No. |
steel scrapers with steel runners, and
not II scrapers at sixteen dollars with
ten per cent off for cash, as you stated
in your paper. The fact is, [ have not
got one cent of the county's money.
1t took the scrapers and $4l.56 In cash
to pay my taxes, which was $l25.56.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if there is any
thing d%ishonorable about this deal don't
you vote for me to 60 down to the
Legislature, and If there is nothing dis
honorable, then YOU vote for me to 60 to
the legislature and you will be as good a
reformer as you was two years ago
when you belonged to the independent
party and wanted me to Join hands with
you and leave the old democrat party
and help you, this country and vote for
McKcighan.
Respectfully,
L. A. SHERIDAN.
