WHILE not precisely the prototype Of
this later aud greater republic, Venice
was its predecessor, There are not many
parallels between the government OF this
country and the government Of Venice,
but still Venice was the first republic
In the fourteenth century she was great
enough, though differing from every
other state in Italy. to tske her place on
an equal footing and finally to become one
OF the most important factors Of Italian
power and European civilization. She
was on an equality with the greatest, and
FOR some time she was one Of the great
est powers Of Europe The history Of
Venice Is full Of interest One Of the
first remarks the student Of history
makes Is that Venice was a departure
from all Biblical forms Of government
The governments of the republic was not
mentioned in the Bible, but the venetians
had no conception Of the republican
form OF government such as we have
established AS Venice was a departure
from all governments which had existed
previously so this government is a der aris
ure, greater and str onger and nobler
than all others AS Venice was the
greatest republic Of the Middle Ages, this
will be the greatest republic Of all ages
II is inconcei vable that any form OF gov
ernment will appear to eclipse this. It is
the proud boast Of Americans. All citizens
who know the history Of this country or
the history Of the governments Of all
countries = heretofore. are stirred
with patriotic impulses to make this a
greater republic than It is now. There
is no citizen whose soul is so dead that
this pride will not stir him TO greater
efforts than he has made before There
Is no man whose heart will be so false "a
generous impulses that he can allow him,
self TO do anything that will mar the
success Of this grand scheme Of govern
ment to the least degree To know this
government thoroughly Is to love II
ardently and to seek to advance it In
glory. The most intelligent citizens are

that when the homicidal notion enters

and woe to the keeper that offends them.

him in the interview.
That part of the interview Of which Mr..

TIE choice Of a candidate for sheriff
is matter Of too much Importance to be
neglected or lightly considered. For
many years the vote has been large and
the msjoiities either way have been
small. These facts prove that the in

not depend entirely upon politics
There is some personal choice, many
private interests and some personal
grudges to satisfy. All Of these elements
must be considered. Every man who
makes choice Of a nominee should make
that choice after q mature consideration
as to whether the candidate Of his choice,
If nominated, could be elected. Every
