From Massachusetts,.

Capt. Geo. G. Gray writes from Wen
ham, Mass, under date of January
18th, to renew on the DEMOCRAT, and
kindly gives US some news from that
far eastern land. He expects to be
back to Willard, this county, about the
middle of March. He says:
I'VE have had a New England coast
winter here since December 1st, with
all it's attendant miseries; times are
dull, but improving, will he better after
the tariff bill' is out of the way; many
people are out of work, but We do not
have any suffering. Since the election
politics have quieted down somewhat,
but the political pot is still simmering
lit never ceases to do that here. The
republicans are mad and aggressive,
busy with tongue and pen preaching
CALAMITY and dire destruction, and
trying to make all the political capital
they can out of the situation. If the
democratic administration and congress
don't get frightened off their base by
the political howlers around them they
will have the best of the sitution in the
end. I see that politics in
Kansas are still mixed, and so are the
Offices. The independent voter is still
abroad in the land and evidently means
to keep to the road"

aThe Krause Affair"


That is the heading of labored ar
ticle In the Register of last week In
which the editor takes great deal OF
unnecessary pains to state few truths
and throw out few institutions that
are entirely uncalled for.
The facts in the matter, as most OF
our readers are doubtless already
aware, are that the INVESTIGATION of Mr..
Krause's books made by Mr.. Wickwlre,
shows on its face that Mr.. Krause Is
indebted to the county in the neigh
borhood Of 81 800. This report of Mr..
Wickwire was made to the commits
sioners served weeks ago, and since that
time an effort is being made to try and
discover where the discrepancy is
located, as neither the commissioners
nor any one else believes that MIR.
Krause has got away with the money.
In pursuance to instructions from
the commissioners the county attorney
has commenced suit on Mr.. Krause
and his bordsmen to recover that
amount, and most thorough over
hauling of all the books Of the county
will now be made.
VIM. Osmond and r. c. Bailey have
been engaged by Mr.. Krause to thor.
oughly examine the records and try
and untangle the muddle-as it evil
IDENTIFY is an unpleasant muddle, especi-
ally to Leonard Krause.
We have yet to hear of single in
dividual who expresses belief that
Leonard Krause has appropriated a
single dollar of the county funds, and
we confidently believe he will be able
to prove beyond doubt that he has truly
and faithfully performed the trust i'm
posed in him.

Kas. State Fish Commissioner

THE A. P. A. association engaged a
blackleg named McNa-
mara to deliver lecture at Kansas
City, last week. His speech was too
obscene to be printed, and aroused
some of the Catholics of the city to
such an extent that they were ready
to mob him. He was finally arrested
for criminal libel, and also for circu-
lating obscene literature. and now
languishes in the Kansas City Jail in
default of heavy bonds. Men can
make themselves bigger fools ovsr
religion than anything else; especially
when they attempt tn mix their re-
fIRfon win tneir politics.

While we eat in our den late
Monday night, burning the midnight
electricity and saving away on an
irrigation editorial with alfalfa trim
mugs, the clear cold breezes that crept
in at the cracks in the door were all
at once laden with the sweetest sounds
that ever touched our ear drum. We
paused in our labors and listened in
rapt attention to the melodious notes
of guitar and mandolin that pulsated
through the key hole and the places
where the weather strips ought to be,
and We expected every moment to see
the door thrown open and the messen
gers from above rush in to carry US to
our heavenly reward for favors done to
mankind here below. But-they
moved on. We later ascertained that
these sweet messengers of song were
appearing on earth that evening in
