ADVANTAGES or A


1t seems almost incredible that
there should be Democrat in Jeffer-
son county at this time SO obtuse
that he can't see the advantages that
would result to the county in conse
quenee of straight Democratic
ticket. Ia the first place, there is
no sense or reason for continu
alton OF a compromise with the
faction now in power 1t is a
notorious fact that the Jones fac
ton possess no elements of political
streagth in he Republican party,
and that they were elected at the
last election by the Dem, Gratis of the
county. For the Democratic party
TO elect Republicans to Office is
rather an anomalous condition. For
faction of Republicans who do not
number corporal's guard in their
own ranks to ask office ut the hands
of the Democratic voters of the
county is the Qatat essence oil
audacity. Ii the /! st compromise
ticket was elected by the Democratic
voters OF the county under the
Australian ballot law, there can
certainly be no, doubt of the election
of a straight Democratic ticket with
the addition prerequisite of voting
OF poll tax receipt If the late re
forms in our election laws-the Aus
tralian ballot system and the poll
tax northumberland anything,
they mean that the intelligent and
tax paying classes of the State
should govern, II we were to fail to
take advantage of these laws at this
opportune time, we would prove
recreant to the faithful legislators
who made it possible for intelligence
to govern We have had eompro.
mise in this county since 1878, but
under the Australian ballot system
OF elections and the poll tax amend.
ment to the constitution no, further
compromises are necessary to insure
the participation of the tax payer in
county government. The Australian
ballot and the poll tax amendment
have assured the triumph of the white
man and the tax payer, and we are
no longer dependent for any beg
carly allowance that may be made
us by few Republican leaders and
their henchmen, The wheels of
progress have made revolution,
and the Democrats are now in o
position i'll consequence OF ID number
of long delayed reforms in our sys-
tenn of elections to absolutely con
troll and dictate the policy of the
county.
The advantages of a straight Dem
ocratic ticket are manifold
A straight ticket would insure an
honest, intelligent and efficient ad
ninistration OF every Office and de-
partment of the county government
II would insure more stable con
/ dition of affairs and would serve to
invite and attract foreign capital
an immigration.
/ 1t would serve to quiet the labor
of the the county, who have here.
tofore been much distracted by The
broils of politics.
| 1t would protect the colored labor
the of county from the expressions
Of their own race, who have hereto
fore been harrassed by negro con
stables and magistrates for the pur.
pose OF making fees.
1t would insure better admins
tration Of the Circuit Clerk Office
aud Q more correct, systematic and
Intelligent keeping Of the important
records q the county
e would give jefferson count,

three intelligent representatives in
the lower house OF the Legislature,
and would insure the election of men
to that position WHO would reflect
credit upon their county and their
State.
Lastly, there is no reason why
the Democrats of the county should
place faction of Republicans in
power who possess no clements OF
strength in their own ranks, and who
are dependent upon the Democratic
voters of the county for their cleo
ton.

A FORCED VACATION.
BY BOHEMIAN.

One day Old SkinAint called his
clerk, Mr.. Meekly, into the private
sanctum, Meekly trembled with
fond anticipation. To be summoned
before the head of the house was an
unexpected honor It either meant
a raise of salary or an interest in
the firm. Meekly beamed all over.
At last merit was to be rewarded
Accordingly, he assumed deferen-
tial attitude, running over in his
mind how he should say in a depre-
eating manner: "Ohl Mr.. SkinAint,
this is too much honor-it is so un-
expected, etc" Skinfint let him
stand this way for a few minutes. 1t
was always Skinfints practice to
permit his clerks to remain expect
antly before him. He would pay no
attention to them for a time, as
though they were so minute that he
could not see them. Whether he
really took pleasure in this, or
whether he was always very busy
whenever any clerk happened to en-
ter, cannot be stated. However, had
heever seen fit to address an employee
as gentleman would have addressed
another the employee would have had
fit. On this particular occasion
Skinflint kept Meekly waiting about
five minutes. The young man shifted
his feet impatiently, he even ven
tured to clear his throat, thinking
that it was barely possible that Skin
flint had not heard him. He studied
the carpet; he studied the ceiling,
and he studied the floor. He rested
first on one leg and then on the
other. If he had had all the legs of
oentipede he would have taken
turns on them, and, under the cir
cumstances, nature was really un-
kind, considering the relations be-
tween employer and employee, that
she did not furnish Skinfint's en-
ployes with all these appendages.
But finally, after Meekly had become
SO nervous that the room seemed to
/
turn around, Skinfiint wheeled in his
CHAIR, looked the clerk firmly in the
face, and said;
WeliY'
1t was not so much the manner as
the tone and Meekly forthwith began
to tremble.
You sent for me2" he STAN
meeed.
Il did. believe that you have
been employed by this house many
years, Mr.-what is your Manner"
Meekly, sir.
"Ah, Weekly" Meekly did not
offer to correct him. The interview
opened in a promising manner. Skin
flint had referred to the fact that
he had been there long time. Sure
ly now would come the reward of
merit.
AS said, Mr.. Weekly, you have
been here for some timer
Yes, sir; ten years. !"
And, dare say, have been q
faithful employee, Mr.. Wheatly?"

keeper Charged With Perjury.
The county commissioners have at
last bestirred themselves and now
propose 10 make somebody pay for the
money lost in the banks that failed last
summer. The county had deposits in
all of the defunct banks, but they were
secured by special bonds. At yester-
days meeting of the board of commits
SionerS it was decided to bring suits
upon these bonds for the payment of
the money deposited in the banks re
ferred to. County Attorney Nye was
instructed to draw up complaints In the
cases as soon as possible. The banks
to be proceeded against are the Farm
ers and Merchants, American EX-
change, Bank of New England aud
State. Deposits were had in the Com
mercial and Citizens, but the former
has paid up while the latter has made
part payment through the receiver.
The cases will be important, ,inasmuch
as they will show the liability and reli-
ability of bondsmen. The county has
100000 due from the banks. For long
time the board of commissioners did
nothing about the matter or the money /,
and many people were of the opinion
they would let cash go 10 the dogs, but
apparently something has occurred to
stir them up. In the meantime, how
ever, if the bondSmen of the banks de-
s.re to settle up with the county the
siuits will not begin. The last day of
lgraee Is July 26, and if no action is
aiken by the bondsmen by that date the
suits will be filed the lst of August.

A BIG RAILROAD DEAL.
Such Will BE the sale of the Mins
neapOlis 81 st. Louis.

hcbpoitS ~ 81. LOuiSs
The sale of the Minneapolis & st.
Louis road is the subject of consider
able speculation in railroad circles, aud
1t Is understood that the stockholders
are making strenuous efforts to obtain
control of the road.
In order to redeem the property it
Will be necessary for the latter to raise
the neat sum of S2,5O0.0O0, which will
be paid TO the Central Trust Company
of New York.
In referring to the subject yesterday
one Of the officials said:
In ordinary times il would not be so
difficult matter to accomplish this,
but 1t will be very close pull. The
scheme tn reOrganiZe the road by means
OF SIT. 900, 900 mortgage would also be
as difficult to carry through at this
time"

is effected. am given to understand
that in case the stockholders of the st.
Louis company regain possession of the
property +. A. Clarke. the solicitor Of
the line, will go with Mr.. 1ruesdale to
the Rock Island, making his headquar-
tiers in Chicago, but should the latter
acquire control, Mr.. Clarke will un-
doubtedly remain in Minneapolis in his
present position,
LAS to the successor of Mr.. Truesdale
in case the old st. Louis company gets
on its feet again, / am not certain. OF
course, the probabilities are that A. l..
Mohler, recently appointed general
manager by Receiver Truesdale, will
act in that capacity for some lime TO
come, whatever disposition is made OF
the road. and if the Rock Island bids it
in successfully his position is assured,

THEY'RE NOT HAPPY.
The saloonkeepers Are Having
No End of Trouble.

The average saloonkeeper of the city
is not enjoying life at the present time.
In the first place there are several
hundred who have ho licenses, owing
entirely to the differences in the council
committee On licenses relative to bonds
and bondsmen. Aside from that the
Crusaders are at work again and trouble
is always brewing. Another saloon
keeper was arraigned in the police
court yesterday on the charge of per-
jury. 1t was Samuel Sampson, and the
complaint, sworn out by A. B. Choate,
sets forth that Sampson committed
perjury when ne made application for
his new license.
The complaint states that Sampson
made affidavit to not having been con-
victed of an offeEse under the liquor
law. while as matter of fact he was
convicted of keeping his saloon open on
Sunday Judge Mahoney decided to
hear the case today. This is the second
prosecution on the charge of perjury,
the propretorS of the Brunswick hotel
having been bound over to the grand
jury for the same off e Dse.

attorney and Democratic politician of
this city, has received an invitation
from the Pennyroyal Club of Fairview,

vitation, and the citizens of Fairview
are to be congratulated upon securing
the services of so eloquent an expo
nent on all subjects appertaining to the
welfare of the republic. His. address
on this occasion will not be of a po-
litical nature, but he will take more
