TIE Teller Of last week pleasantly
says the following of the Republican
nomination for County Judge
Judge Carter is now serving his sec
ond term, the first by appointment
from Governor Rusk on the death OF
Judge McGonigal and the present by
election four years ago No question
has ever been raised as to his qualifi-
cations, and it is conceded that bis
official acts have been according to
law and without bias. The duties OF
the Office have been attended to by HIM
with scrupulous care. Every estate
submitted has its record accurately
kept, and now or hereafter can be
traced to its conclusions and every
party may know his rights. ANY op.
position to Judge Carter, therefore, does
not arise from negligence, inability. in
efficiency, unfaithfulness or incomplete
ness. And so far as we know there has
never been personal discourtesy to-
wards persons having business in the
Office.

Hail and Farewell.

Amid the acclamations that greet the
return of Mr.. Cleveland to the White
House, the lover OF justice and believer
in fidelity to a high standard of duty
will net forget to cast glance of adj
miration after the figure of the retiring
president. Mr.. Harrison carries with
him to his quiet, desolate home the res
peet, the gratitude and the sympathy OF
the whole body of our people. He has
been true to himself and to his ideal OF
the high Office that he has filed. That
his judgments have always been infal.
Gble no one would contend. But that
1t was his Judgment and not his inclin,
alton which he consulted in his direction
of the affairs OF state is lust us little
open 10 question. If ever man placed
in exalted station bent himself to the
discharge of his work for the best inter
ests of those to whom he was response.
BILE, placing the public veal first anC
the individual fortune second, it was
MIR. Harrison. His bitterest enemies dc
not deny to him the virtue of entire sin
cerity.
The farewell of Mr.. Harrison to the
place that he has held for four years il
full Of pathetic features. 1t would b,
even were we to leave out of the &C
count the personal bereavements tina
haze left him only the remnants of |
shattered and lonely life. 1t woul,
sum to the men who, with equal disin
terestedness, would sacrifice almoS
anything to climb the heights that b
has left, his experience might we'll sery
as 8 warning. These four years G
service, in their public aspect only
have been the gravest, the most trying
the fullest of unremitting labor, Ii
least rewarded Of Mr.. Harrison's life
Justly may he feel, as his friends repre-
sent him, that the laying down of hi
office is the escape from tresdmill,
relief that might we'll be purchased a
great cost. He has gone about his wori

Washington Letter.
(From our Regular Correspondent
Washington, Mar. 8. 1898

w AsAdl d 1C0Os
Benjamin Harrison is as courteous a
man as ever lived, but there is limit
to the courtesy of even the most courte-
Gus of men. He will not assist Mr..
Cleveland in reviewing the inaugural
parade. but will go from the Capitol,
where he will perform his last official
duty, by being present at the formal
Inauguration of the new President, TO
the special train which will take him,
his daughter and grandchildren back to
his Indiana home. The reason for his
not assisting Mr.. Cleveland in reviewing
the procession is obvious. Mr.. Cleve-
land declined to assist him in 1889, al
though be had himself been assisted by
Gen. Arthur in 1885.
No man who entered public life with
the Harrison administration has gained
the esteem of the people to a greater
extent than Levi p. Morton. who has
given the Office of Vice President a dig
nifty and influence it never before
possessed. No other retiring Vice Pres
dent was ever rendered and given a
banquet by the entire Senate, regardless
OF politics. In political affairs Mr..
Morton is a strong partisan, because he
believes as firmly as he does in his bible
in the principles of the republican
party, but no democratic Senator has
ever complained or been given a cause
to complain Of any decision made by
him when presiding over the Senate.
One of the largest receptions of the
year was held at his residence Wednes-
day night in honor of mis- successor and
Mrs. Stevenson. Mr.. Morton has large
property interests in Washington, and
will probably keep up a winter resi-
dence here.
There may have been Congresses that
accomplished less than the Fifty-second
they all appropriated less money-but
if so they were further back than your
correspondent remembers. The closing
hours of the present Congress do not
differ from those of its predecessors,
except that there are about ten times as
many odice-seekers crowding the corri-
doris of the Capitol as were ever here
before. In 1889 it was thought that the
army of office-seekers which marched
upon Washington was large, but it was
only as a regiment to a corps when
compared with that now here. The
excitement and turmoil in Congress has
been great all this week, but there has
been but little business of general inter
est transacted, as the appropriation
bills, which were in an unusually back
ward condition, have taken up most OF
| the time in both House and Senate

the Sherman bond amendment was

rnERE is a bill before the legislature
to prevent the marriage Of first cousins.
It's advocates urge its passage on the
ground that it will tend to decrease the
amount of idiocy in the state They
are away Of the track if the prevention
Of ldiocy is really their object. All the
idiocy is not 10 be attributed to mar
riage Of fist cousins by long chalk.
Some Of those legislators need to
knock the scales of their eyes and
look about them if they really want
to be honest. What terrible things
these cousins mast be to so suddenly
arouse such apparent earnestness
against their marriage. Straining at
gnat and swallowing a camel as usual.

HUNTERs who have been out lately
in the mountains surrounding town
report deer very scarce. A fresl
track is now sufficien: cause for ex-
citement. Big game has about van
shed from every section of the State.
Disrepu,able characters the past two
or three years have killed thousands
of deer and elk for the hides. They
camp at the llcks and do a wholesale
business. 1t is said that being una
BILE to carry on the work on a scale
of magnitude commensurate with
their desires by the use of guns, they
adopted plan on scientific princi-
Piles to keep up with advanced and
quick methods of modern civilization.
Their plan was to poison the licks,
which proved very successful. As
proof of the truth of that rumor, two
prospectors from Central Idaho re-
port that at a lick somewhere in
Idaho county carcasses OF skinned
deer were strewn around in great pro-
fusion, and an examination failed
to show any bullet holes. Men
who would do such work ought to be
promptly hung without being giver
an opportunity to escape punish
ment through technicalities and LOOP
holes of law. They ought to be
strung up without mercy or bene6
of clergy. And after being huns
they ought to go where the weathe
is hot, and hot the year round.
