Sir Walter Scott producing The Bride
Of Lammermoor' during illness, was
afterward found to have forgotten entirely
what he had thus created According To
James Ballantyne, the book was written
and published before Mr. Scott was able
to rise from his bed and he assured me
when IT was first put into his hands in a
complete shape that he did not recollect a
single incident, character or conversation
1t contained The original incidents of
the story, which he had known from boy
hood, he still remembered but he knew
no more about the story he had written
than he did before he began to write or
even think about writing it," These facts
are corroborated by Mr. Lockhart. Sir

An there, Jonesl

What are you down in the mouth
abo,t? will tell you my trouble: l
am Scotland county tiller, as you
know, and the corrupt Doodle gang in
| this county have the sinch on me, along
with my neighbOrs. In what way,
Jones? Well, they, as you know, are
controlling the county to-day; not in
justice and mercy, but with all of the
know that. Jones, and that element has
run the county for the last twenty years,
during which time but few men, in the
| f. Ill sence of the word. have held office.
+ ut, Jones, do not see why that affects
ou just now. The last time saw you.
ou were in good spirits. Well, the
eason 1 am out of sorts to-day, is: l
Lave been thinking and talking about
this county board of equalization, and |
believe have figured their plans to A;
finish, which is diss listing out lay fol
any honest man to think about. Now,
Jones, l would like to know how you
have figured that: could see no object
in that move? In my mind, the facts
are thus: The chief object they had in
view was to lower, IN the estimation of
the people of the county, (some of the
men whose assessment list was raised(,
by making it appear that they, under
oath, swore to lie. and in this way dis
troy the influence of some Of those hon
est men who are working for right, for
freedom, for justice, for purity in form
Of government, and not for corruption,
partially and injustice, or in few
words to destroy the influence of the re-
form workers. God bless reformer.)
Another object they might have had in
large enough, and they chose this way
to increase the volume, by Only publish
ing in the two old papers of the county,
which the majority of the honest men
do not read, the list and the date set,
on which they had to appear to make
their objections to the raise. They, no
doubt thought, there would be u num-
Der who would not know the date to APP
pear until after the time was passed.
AID l will tell another thing that is
most disgusting: We all know that our
county assessor had the right to assess
our property as high as he desired, why
was he not satisfied with that? He, af
Ter having that privilege. goes in as
one of that board and votes 70 raise the
valuation, when he himself set the val
| uatiOn.
I'll tell you, there is something wrong!
| Will we. right this wrong? Now, is
this business? Why were not these
men promptly notified to appear before
the examining board, before their hon.
esty was called in question and publish
ed? If | am an honest man. would |
like to he published as horse thief or
any other kind of thief, and when nv
case is called for trial, the man who
brought the charge, says he has no
proof that l stole the horse, but thought
he would publish me and see if l was
not guilty? believe the honest men of
this county who were falsely charged,
should bring suit against this board and
deserve Judgment.

Who would think of charging that

Who would think of charging that
the Republican party was responsible
for the war OF the rebellion because
it happened to come into power after
the long reign Of Democracy? And
vet it is just as fair and just as sensi-
BILE to so charge as to charge the Dem
ocratic party with causing the present
depression simply because it happen
ell to come into power after Il long
Republican reign. No! Charge De-
mocracy with no more than is its due
for the Lord knows, Its sins are many
and grievous. Say only that Repub-
licanism found, on assuming power, a
gigantic rebellion on its hands, as a
result of Democratic mis- statesman
ship and that it had the courage, the
patriotism and the wisdom to rescue
the country from its perilous position.
On the other hand that Democracy on
assuming power after long m:l-ad-
ministration by the Republican party
found the business of the country

The Democratic county convention at
Palmyra became tired waiting for its
committee on platform to report and
q liourned. 1t was just as we'll, for a
Democratic platform, these days do
N 1t amount to much. Generally it is
constructed with one eye single to
misleading the people. For instance,
in the west, resolutions in the west and
south favor the free and unlimited coin
age of silver, but naturally the Demo
cratic organization is the most unrelen
ting foe Silver has ever known. The
Pa myla convention showed its gooG
sense by not adopting a platform tina
would be Il lie and cheat. In that re
spect it is quite different from thu
usual Democratic conventions.

That note i gambler, Walcott, one OF
the U. S senators from Colorado, made
a great speech in the senate the other
day and denounced Governor Wait and
about everybody else who favored Civ.
ing labor a chance. The reason for
Gambler Walcott's mad fling at the
governor of his state is due no doubt
from the fact that the new police board
that Mr.. Wait had SO much trouble in
getting into offices, he appointed them
for, has been able to make about all of
the Senator's friends close their places
of business as will be seen by dispatch
that was accidently published in the
old party dailies of April q.
"The forty odd gambling houses in
Denver we're all promptly closed at noon
to-day in compliance with the order OF
the new police board. Some of them
are making arrangements to carry on
business beyond the city limits"
It is q shameful state of affairs when
decent officials are assailed in high
places by the agents OF thugs and
gamblers, but such seems to be the case
cut in Colorado. And it should not be
forgotten that Gambler WalOtt is not
the only one who has slandercd and
yilified Gov. Waite tor his efforts to
enforce the laws against gambling and
other disreputable business. Nearly
every Republican or Democrat at one
time or another has poured out the
foulest kind of slime at the Christian
Governor. Even the so-called religious
press has been caught aiding the law
breakers in that state by trying to down
Gov. Waite.
