WEEKLY INDEPENDENT.
No IMPROPER MOTIVES.

The Tidings seems to think it
strange that the condition OF affairs
at the county hospital has been ventl'
lated in the INDEPENDENT, and rather
Gus it OF improper motives IN
what it is pleased to call tits peri
odical announcements OF the steward
OF the county hospital
The first instance i'll which the pres.
ent steward was criticised i'll this pa
per was in 1894 when the inmates Of
the hospital were being fed on rotten
corned beef. These charges were in
writing, signed by all but IL or two
OF the patients in the hospital at that
time. We then had undisputed evil
dence that the charges were true and
none has been submitted since to
prove to the contrary.
The last charges are thoroughly
understood by the people and the Ii.
DEPENDENT is perfectly willing to
abide by their verdict. The conclu-
sion reached by the Commissioners
and the reprimand of the steward
stand as solid rocks in the paths OF
those who would try to make the
steward appear as the incarnation Of
sobriety. On the record OF the Com
nissioners the INDEPENDENT rests its
case and will not refer to it again un.
less :he defenders Of Mr.. Armstrong
continue to stir up the dirty waters.
II they have any regard for him, they
will hold their peace.
There has been no hidden motive
in the course OF this paper toward the
present steward. Had it not thrown
light on hospital affairs it would
have been recreant in its duty as a
public journal. 1t has nothing to
take back nndno amount Of abuse
or misrepresentation will cause
the INDEPENDENT to change its course
in county affairs. II public officers
do not want TO incur criticism. they
can avoid it by doing their duty and
keeping sober. II they take the other
course, the responsibility rests will
them and not with the editor OF this
paper. The choice is with them.
