the year 1891 and previous years between
the state and various counties of the state,

to repeal chapter a. laws of 1891.
The above bill, introduced by Sena-
tor j. K. Lawrence, of this county, if
he succeeds in securing it's passage
will enrich our county treasury some
500, that amount being due from the
State, having been enormously collect
ed before we threw off the old territor-

there has been no law under which 1t
could be refunded. Sully County may

Speaking of the Worlds Fair ap-

That paper comes nearer to speaking
the mind of the Independent party than
all the other papers of that stripe put
together, and is quoted to show the
non-progressive spirit of the party; but
it's an insult to the class whom the
Ruralist falsely pretends to represent

ONE j. f. Martin, late of Red Hook,
New York, but since September last a
sojourner here, having come solely "as
we are informed and believe" to SECURE
the office of County Judge of Sully
County at the last election, but like the
"retormers'' everywhere failed to get
votes enough, last week saw fit to pub
lish lengthy article in the Onida
Jouraal, we suppose to right himself
before the people of this county after
having put them to nearly $50 ex-
in prosecuting ?. W. Pearson of Lew
iston, and also to, If possible, cast a
stain upon our spottless character.
Had the article eminated from one pos
sessing sound brain we might waste
little space in replying to it but un-
der the circumstances will only notice
point or two. In the first place
Martin (Some people call him "Judge" ,
which is only an assumed title,) takes
exceptions to our report Of the trial and
acqulttal of Pearson. The evidence
and circumstances in connection with
the case justified our report, and we
stand by 1t. He speaks Of Pearson
buying store building, size about
$50 40 feet, tin roof, 10 #. posts,
lathed and plastered,' ETC., from Joce-
lyn for $50, and asks if that is a speci-
men of honor we claim to possess, when
he was himself trying at the same time
to get 1T Tor $494, and is mad because
he didn't get it for that money. We
leave the public to Judge as to which
was acting the most honorable. He
says we are sensitive about county ex-
penses, and asks US about Grandvlew
precinct. Yes, we endorsed the action
of the canvassing board in hopes that
the case would be sifted and none but
the legal votes counted. When YOU
state that the throwing out of Grand
view precinct threw "hundreds of dol
lars expense on the county" you state
what is false. and we defy you to pro-
duce the facts to prove your assertion.
Come now, back up your statement.
We say it didn't and that you are only
attempting to mlslead the people as of
old. AS to the "teat' racket, we plead
guilty. but must confess that we fail
to see what connection it has with the
honor :? Of "the Jedye" or the Pearson
case. While our pretty mouth assumes
the shape of a letter o Martins has
assumed the shape Of an inverted new
moon with the office drule running
down each corner. He has been trying
since 1885 to get hold of that same
''teat' and do little bunting, but his
efforts have up to date been futile
hence his wall. Before completing his
wall about the Pearson article he says
something about giving the "crlnging
cur that wrote 1T public horsewhip-
ping" That shows it's disposition
Shows that the people have made nc
mistake. A bully or buffer should
never sit upon the judicial bench
Brains belong there
