Some twelve miles north of Tusca-
rora, N. Y, there grows-or, at least,
recently grew-a tree or shrub about
seven feet in heigth the leaves of which
were luminous. In general appearance
it resembled the harberry, the leaves
favorinR somewhat the aromatic bay
tree of California. At certain seasons
ofthe year the foliage is so bright that
on the darkest night it can be plainly
seen at distance of one mile, while
the light at the tree is suf1ici ent to ad-
NIT the reading of the finest print.
The luminous substance Is a gummy
matter on the outside of the leaves,
which imparts the same property to
whatever it is rubbed on.--Great
Divide.

Of good roads. What do
the people want with good roads? Have
they not Sparrow-scalping and ground
hog laws? Legislators have no time to
work the roads. Bryan Democrat.

IT has come to pretty state of
things when such a rock-ribbed repub-
lican paper as the Bolding Green Sent
indl is compelled to blurt out as fol-
loves:
IF the Ohio Legislature would just
re-enact the Australian ballot law a. 1t
was, and then adjourn before having
an opportunity to commit any more
blunders, it would receive the grateful
acknowledgements Of Its co nstitueDcy.
The recent Congressional gerryman-
der is a piece OF unqualified villainy:
and the only excuse for the party is
that the present Legislature is not con-
sidered up to the average intellect
among tie ranks of the party, and that
therefore the party can only be held
morally responsible for the election OF
the members, not their acts.

(Readers of the NORTHWEST will
remember that the above suit was the
State(') (Tyler, VanCampen, Camp
bell and RusselD VS. Charles Evers, ct
al, in which the State claimed that
the defendant, as auditor of Henry
County, had misappropriated funds;
that he had credited, during his term
of Office, $44, ,926.0S to the Contingent
School Fund instead of distributing it
among the different townships; that
by so doing some $5S was lost to the
schools. There was no question but
that the money was in the treasury, or
that it had reached the proper place
for which the levy twas imposed; but
the route by which it got there, and
which was Auditor Evers' construc-
tion of the law, did not please the
vest-pocket dynasty that pushed the
suit.
1t will also be remembered that the
petition was filed in October when a
very heated campaign was on, and the
republican press made a great howl
over the matter; and since the action
ofthe court proves in the mind Of the
most partisan republican that there
was no cause for action, the great cry
of fraud" ETC., in 1890 now stands
forth in its true light-a falsehood
for the accomplishment of political
schemes,)

EVERYTHING points to President
Harrison,s nomination and reelection.
Bryan Press.
Harrison will be renominated be-
cause he is the only available man the
republicans have since Blaine has de-
clined to be candidate. But as for
his reelection, there are grave doubts
as to his carrying within fifty of
enough electoral votes to be success
full. The times point to the election
of democratic President in 1872.

AN article in the April Century
estimates the cost of the maintenance

needs of the farmers in drawing loads

Mrs. Mary f. Trump was appointed
postmistress OF Maquoketa on Friday
last by President Harrison to succeed
her late deceased husband who had
served but a year and half.
Ifthe President had followed this
just and good work up by giving the

dead postmaster, every body would
have said good, well done thou

SINCE the news arrived that the
French treaty of reciprocity, negotiated
by Whitelaw Reid, was chung up" in
the French chamber Of Deputies, which
must ratify it before 1t goes into effect,
the republicans are not hurrahing so

to receive therefrom. There is q possi-

ratified.

THE result OF the suit Of the State
VS. Charles Evers shows to what dis
honorable means the few republicans
here will resort In order TO secure
end. "No ocause for action"
were the good words Of the court, and
we fancy those democrats who proved
susceptible TO the big bluff the suit
was intended for, will feel like doing
q good job Of kicking themselves
when they learn Of the courts action.

THE rumor that Judge Gresham
would accept the nomination of the

much like spring snake story.
Gresham dislikes Harrison very much

ing to sacrifice himself to bring about
that defeat.

ENDED
In a Grand Farce !
THE POLITICAL PER-
SECUTioN
OF George Russell Against e.
Auditor EYeTS.
The Cases Thrown Out
Of Court.
No Cause Of Action +!

Ex-Audltor Charles Evers received
intelligence last Saturday from bis
attorneys at Columbus, the following
telegram of which is selfexplanatory:
COLUMBUS, April 16, 1892.
To Chas. Evers, Napoleon, o.
Court has
Just found the Attorney General
petitions, State vs. Charles Evers, ct al,
no cause ofaction, and the cases dis
missed at the cost of the State. Con-
gratulations. s. N. OWEN.
And thus endeth the political perse-
cutlon Of Ex-Auditor Evers by Geo.
Russell, the REPUBLICAN reform(?) aud
itor of Henry County, and his politi-
cal henchmen.
The prosecution was inaugurated
about two years ago by George Rus
sell land we might say right here that
1t was one of the most damnable in
trigues ever invented against inno-
cent partiesl for the purpose of foster
ing himself upon the people of Hen
ry County for a second term. ana
knowing that his tissue of falsehood
and persecution would not stand an
instant in the home courts, he and
his willing henchmen dragged Mr..
Evers off to Franklin County under
the very nose of one of the worst po-
litical dynasties that ever disgraced a
great state, putting him to great ex-
pense and inconvenience.
But truth, crushed to the earth
will rise again." so the plans Of Rus
sell did not pan out as he had laid
them, and he stands to-day branded
as demagogue and trickster Of the
blackest kind.
Mr.. Evers Is being congratulated on
every hand, and the people generally
rejoice with him that his good name
and credit has not in the least been in
jured. The only regret is, that the
expense to Mr.. Evers and the costs
the state is compelled to pay, cannot
be levied upon George Russell, the
only really guilty party In the trans
action. But as this cannot be done,
let him alone with his conscience, and
who knows but that miracle may be
wrought right here in our midst.
Give even calf sufficient rope and
1t will hang itself.
