Why They Asked for Troops,

Corning, Iowa, MARCH THE ap-

to Governor Boics, for protection by the
state militia is the outcome OF an antag-.

quarters at Shenandoah, and other
points and at all OF these places have
had trouble with the local authorities.

A Call.

Gin and mill men in Nevada coun-
ty are requested to meet at the time
and place herein mentioned, to or
ganize a mutual aid association, for
the protection of ourselves against
fire. the plans of which will be thor
oughly explained and discussed, and
every essential point well guarded.
We believe we can carry an annual
insurance at one or two per cent,
whereas IN other insurance companies
9 per cent is the best we can get.
And we all know it is not safe to run
without insurance. We suggest Mt.
Moriah as the place, as it is central
point. and the second Monday in
March, at 9 O'Clock, as the time. All
persons living at a distance, who
wish to attend, are cordially invited
to come in the neighborhood the

THE NEW ELECTION LAW.

Many are disposed to fight the new
election law. passed by the last Leg
islature. Those who oppose 1t
certainly do not understand 1t, or
its many good features. For years
constant complaint has been made
of the old law, as not affording a
free ballot and fair count. Let us,
for few mements consider the new
law-the secret or Australian ballot
system now satisfactorily used in
over thirty States of the Union.
Under the new law every man can
vote secretly as he pleases, without
hindrance or inumidation-under
the old law this was impossible. The
voter, in a booth to himself prepares
his own ticket, and If unable to read
to have assistance of election officer,
sworn to secrecy and to prepare it as
directed If sheriff is a candidate
he can not conduct an election, and
in any event he can only appoint a
limited number of deputies. This is
another good feature of the new law
as under the old he could appoint as
many deputies as he pleased. The
new law does away with intimidation,
bull-dozing, and buying Of votes.
There may be features in the new
law that need amending or change.
If so, let us remedy 1t. 1t is a good
law and no one should needlessly
oppose it, until it is given a fair and
honest trial. Every protection posi-
BILE should be thrown around the
voter and the ballot box.

VOLUME XIV.

With this issue the PICAYrNE en-
tiers upon volume XIV.
For fourteen years the paper has
labored earnestly and faithfully for
the best interests Of the people OF
Prescott and Nevada county. Since
November. 1884. we have been con-
nected with the paper, and have inn
proved it from time to time, as we
were enabled to do so, until now 1t
is second to no other country weekly
in the State, in point OF Topographic
cal appearance and general makeup
That the people recognize 1t as a
good paper, is attested by its large
subscription list-numbering over
1915 regularly enrolled.
From the outset the paper has as
siduously espoused the cause OF
Democracy, believing the principles
of this great party necessary to good
government, and essential to the per-
petuity of our free country. We Will
continue to battle in this cause.
Knowing that local matters are OF
first Importance in country weekly
we have given special attention to
this department, and our town and
county news has been and will con-
tinue to be full and complete. Pune
tuslity is likewise necessary, and we
have never failed to issue regularly
and on time.
We expect to keep the paper up
to its present high standard-send
out every week well printed, new
sy and entertaining paper. Sincerely
thanking our friends for past favors,
We trust to receive their continued
patronage.

AMONG THE PEOPLE.
A Trip to Georgia and Jackson
Townships General Outlook.

Wednesday the editor started out
TO join the Collector at Hatley's
store, in Jackson township, on a can
vasslng tour for the PICAYrNE.
Found the roads in bad condition,
but not nearly so bad as expected.
Arrived at Hatley's store shortly
after noon Wednesday. A very
poor turn out of people to meet the
Collector. Mr.. Eugene Hatley en-
joys a splendid country trade-a
most clever and worthy gentleman.
Was glad to meet our old friends,
Jno. Il. and Or. G. O. Marsh, ID. l..
aud John I. Young, |. ii. Blakely
and X. W. Copeland. Sorry to hear
that Assessor Gilmore May was con-
fined at home, quite sick with the
grippe. Among others we also met
Mr.. j. l.. Young, DR.. J. c. Darrell
and A. j. Lee. The two physicians,
Drs. G.. O. Marsh and J. c. Darrell
attend faithfully upon the sick
of the neighborhood. Farmers
busy sowing oats and rolling logs.
Glad to hear that, as Il class, farm
ers are better fixed up and provided
for than in years past-haye plenty
of corn, meat, etc. With Mr.. Don
Warren, we spent night most pleas
antly with Mr.. Jno. r. Marsh. Polit-
lcallv, this township has made i'm
provement, and there are many gains
for the Democracy-glad to hear old
Jackson is getting all right.
Enjoyed hospitality of Mr.. f I,
Mcdaniel, Thursday night. Friday
and Saturday was at Caney church,
in Georgia township. Turn out Of
tax PAYERS was some better here.
Jerry Westmoreland, with his Jokes.
kept the crowd alive and laughing.
Prof. J. j. Hirst, iirst-class teach
er, is teaching fine school here.
Met quite number of old friends
here. Had fine "log rolling dim
ner" at Mr.. "Pomp" Mitchell's-a
jolly crowd of log rollers there. Fri
day night enjoyed the hospitality Of
Mr.. X. p. Westmoreland, a native
Georgian. BY the way, there are 50
many citizens Of tins township from
Georgia, that it was named in honor
of that grand cd State and the
township is almost unanimously
Democratic, too, which shows the
best of raising. Farmers here are
prosperous-have plenty of hog
and hominy," and the so-called
hard times, 50 much heard of since
time immemorial, is not hurting
them much. Large acreage of oats
being planted, and logs being rolled
and burned.
We had very pleasant and sue
cessful trip, securing quite number
of new subscribers. Peoplein Jack
son and Georgia townships, as every
where else in the county, recognize
the PFC. as far the best paper in the
county, and the equal of any coun-
try paper in the State. We expect
to go again among the people, and
will take notes" and give account
of what we see and hear.

The intimations of the Nevada
county papers, that Senator Jones is
exercising himself IN behalf of Con-
gresham McRae, will doubtless
soon call forth from that gentleman
an expression - Hope Gazette.
You are mistaken, as far as this
paper is concerned, and we don't
think our neighbor, the Democrat
made any such statement. Several
weeks since we published Senator S
Jones second letter to Camden
friend, in which he clearly exhonora-
ted Tom McRae from dishonorable
motives and wrong action in voting
for Crisp for Speaker, also saying he
had made record in Congress sec
ond to no other member, for the time
he had been in service we also re-
ferred to his good words for MIR Nc
Rae in a subsequent issue.

NEEDED REFORM.

Editor PIcAIuSE: The equaliza-
ton board, the new election law and
high taxes must go.
The equalization board is an I'M
just stigma, cast upon the home tax
payer. The idea of three men meet
ing at the county court house, and
making a just. fair and equal APP
praisement of the property OF the
county, and that, too, after the good
citizen has met the assessor and
listed his property, under oath, ac-
cording to law. Why swear the
citizen and then search out to see
if he had lied? Why call the citizens
from home to list property that must
be appraised abolish the board and
let the assessor do the work, or else
abolish the assessor, and compel the
board to meet the citizens at their
homes, when and where all circum-
stances and conditions may be con-
sidered.
The new election law is a farce and
fraud, that can har dly be tolerated
for even two wears. II conditions
exist in Arkansas that demand a
radical remedy, then apply the
remedy that will remove the cause,
then the evils, abuses and corruption
of the ballot that are heard of 50
much, will be cured. The great
cause OF the corruption heard OF in
Arkansas and elsewhere, has its
origin in large fees and high salaries,
and the only solution Of the question
, is to reduce fees and salaries, until
there is bare living in any office.
Then the great corruption fund will
be taken away, and the different
aspirants will not pour out money
with lavish hand. The competition
we see every two years for the differ
ent offices, teach US that there IS
money in them. The lawyer quits
his office, the merchant his counting
room, the farmer his farm, for office.
Why, there's pay in it-more money
to be made in Office than IN any
other way If the candidate for
Governor can afford to canvass
among the dear people for six or
eight months before the convention
comes on, and advertise his name
in every newspaper in the State,
and have hired workers besides, what
harm could there be in cutting his
excellency's salary five hundred or a
thousand dollars, thereby saving the
dear peoples money, that is wasted
in useless luxury. The Attorney
General serves the state for the nice
little sum Of fifteen hundred dollars
per year. How much better are the
other State officers than he, or how
much more onerous their duties /;
Yet the Governor gets double the
salary of the Attorney GvlrraI.
Senators and Representatives should
he allowed four dollars per day,
instead of six dollars, then eighty
three DAYS sessions should be thing
of the past. There should be a
constitutional provision prohibiting
the appropriation of the peoples
money for things that the people
have no interest in. Then there
might be some hope Of stopping the

nothing which can possibly be laid

extravaganza that has been going on
for a quarter of century. The clerk $,
sheriff's, and county judges fees
and salaries should be reduced enc
third. The assessors should be re-
duced to l0c per list. Then we can
find good, honest, competent men,
just as ready to serve the people a.
now. Let reductions be made along
the line, from Governor to constable,
and a general cutting down Of
expense. Then taxes can be reduced
and some hopes may be entertained
of getting the state and counties
out Of debt. Let the old regime con
tinue, and taxes will get higher and
higher and the public debt got
larger and larger, with no hopes Of
a better day, until the last trump
shall sound, and Arkansas shall be
called to Judgment.
