We have always been an admirer of
Senator Hansbrough. In 1890, the
editor of this paper was honored with
the craftsmanship of fthe delegation
from this county to the Republican
state convention and took great pride
in casting the vote Of the delegation
for. Mr.. dansbrough who was then a
candidate. We felt his defeat sorely
and none rejoiced more heartily when
his election as senator followed, and
in the years since then we have had
no reason to change our opinion of
his worth. We were especially
pleased during the late campaign to
note his position on the silver quest
ion, as well as his advanced ideas
along the line of government coatro|
of railroads and telegraphs. He is
progressive, farsighted, energetic,
alive to the interests Of his state, and
wields an influence in Washington
which is enjoyed by perhaps, no
other senator west Of the Mississippi.

AN ACCOMMODATING DRIVER.

He Was Also Superintendent, So He Could
Do as He Pleased.
''They have delightful way of being

II was down south once and had occa-
sion not to patronize but to be patronized
by little street car line running from
l. to L. Junction. The length
of the line is half mile and it's equip
ment two cars, each with single mule
attachment The official roster is con-
densed to the name Of single gentle
man wearing a suit of Confederate gray,
who fills every position on the line from
superintendent to driver with perfect
satisfaction to his patrons, and must
say with seeming satisfaction to himself.
In his capacity of driver he was told
that I would like to go down to the
junction at a certain time. seta, 7~
III his capacity as superintendent I
was introduced to him, and assuming
the authority of his highest position he
advised me that he would wait for me
near a certain corner. I was watching
for him, and abont 10 minutes before the
appointed time the car stopped on the
corner designated. The driver set the
brake, but it was the big hearted super
intendent who got down to play with
the children by the roadside until l
should arrive. He greeted me cordially,
and we started, with the mule in can
ter. t. i. -..- ..-..
"A man hailed the Car from house q
little farther on, and we came to a stop.
There was short conversation in loud
tones Then the driver carefully wound
the lines around the brake and went in
to the house. In about five minutes he
rcappeared, with trunk on his shoul-
der, having probably stopped to tie a
rope around it inside the house. This
trunk he deposited on the front plat
form, and we were again going as fast
as the mule could travel.
ARRIVED at the junction, the driver
was again transformed to the superin-
tendent as he shook hands with me and

joyed my trip immensely, and that he

It is apparent to the most casual
observer as well the most superficial
thinker, that the results Of the late
election were ia great measure due to
the ssfoating" vote. In other words,
,nostof that great army who have no
strong party feeling and have hereto
fore formed no party alliances, saw
plainly that no help could come from
the Democratic party, and turned to
the Republican party for relief. If
that parry is, in the coming years,
true to the cause Of the people, it
need fear no reyerses. If, on the

the moving. living issues Of the day

tt must strike the aver age taxpay-
er of Morrison county as strange
that the levy III a 5 mill tax for
county revenue (which is the highest
allowed by law will produce
only about three-fftls Of the money
necessary to pay the county revenue
expenses. Itisn't q question Of the
non-pay ment Of taxes, because q 5
mill tax on the county valuation for
1892 would only raise about SIG, 900,
while the county revenue expense
for 1893 was SO, 1897 20. It would
take valuation Of $4,000, 900 taxed
to full limit allowed by law for
county revenue to supply the funds
that our present county officers deem
necessary to administer the affairs
! of the county. The 5-mill tax is all
that any county can levy for county
revenue, and what will suffice for
other counties would for Morrison.
1T does seem unfortunate that the
county can't be run within it's Ordl-
nary income, and experience in other
counties shows that a 5-niill tax is
sufficient to pay the expenses that
can be charged against the revenue
fund. II the present county officers
are unable to adjust the expenses OF
the county to the income, they nave
little right to ask for reelection.
It may be a pleasure for the people
of the county to continue voting for
q certain crowd Of men, and keep
them in office term after term, but
they should in return display some
regards for the interest of the tax
PAYERS. The actual expenses for 1893
exceeded the income by over $4,000,
and as the conduct Of the officers is
defended and even praised by their
newspaper organ, it is useless to ex-
pect any bet ter results from the same
men in the future.
It is never for the best interests OF
a locality for u newspaper or
citizen TO be continually criticising
the conduct of public affairs, and
whenever possible local government
should be upheld and defended. The
proper way to remedy any mis-
management in county affairs is
to discuss the conditions during the
county campaign, and let the facts
have what effect they may ON the
selection of county officers. 1t is 4
public duty to demand that some
changes be made in administering
county affairs, and no fair-mindeC
and honest man will dispute thai
statement. The expenses are un
naturally high, the floating deb
(according to the Herald) was
$23, 1893. As ON Jan. l, this year, and
large increase this year may be ex
pected. 1t is not necessarily a ques
ton between any particular parties
in the managemento of county affairs
but it is an issue between men who
have displayed inability to pi'operl.
conduct the affairs Of the county
and some other men from whom tn
voters might expect better results.
