EDITORIAL.
AN EXPLANATION.

AVN LIAM
Some severe structures havin g
been made by a correspondent in a
neighboring paper on our County
Commissioners because the Audi
tors statement did not appear in
the only Democratic paper published
in the county" it may be proper,
not because the writer of the TRADE
is worthy of consideration, but that
people may fnlly understand the sit
uation, to give a history of the mat
ter. When the newly elect ed
County Commissioners had been
duly sworn in office they were
handed the following communica-
tion.
MILFORD, JAN. A, 1897.
To THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
PIKE COUNTY.
GENTLEMEN - / hereby propose
that all county printing not required
by law to be published in two pa
,pefs, be submitted to me that | have
an opportunity to offer proposals for
printing same, or, that a reasonable
amount such as may be fair and
proper for having such printing
done in both county papers be al
lowed by you, and that same be
published in both county papers, as
Ibeheveyit is customary in every
county in the State to have county
matters published in at least two
papers of opposite politics.
Yours very respectfully,
j. II. Van Etten,
Pub. PIKE COUNTY PRESS.
The minute book of the Commits
sioners shows they took action as
follows:
Commissioners Newman and
Bensley met at 9 o'clock a. m. Feb.
3rd.
Motion made by MIR. Newman to
adjourn and meet at Mr.. Heller s
house to consider the matter of
printing county statement. Motion
not agreed to by MIR. Bensley.
Resolution offered by Mr.. Bens-
ley that the bid for publishing
County Statement be accepted at
seventy-five dollars, as received in
sealed proposal, that being lowest
bid received. JAS. M. BENsLEY.
''Mr. Newman, president, calls a
meeting at the house of Mr.. Heller
at 4.30 p. m. Present, Messrs. New
man and Heller.
"On motion of Mr.. Newman it was
decided to tender the printing of the
County Statement to the Milford
Dispatch and PIKE COUNTY Press to
publish for the sum of sew enty- five
dollars each.
Newman and Heller in affirma-
tive.
"Mr. Bensley was notified of this
meeting but declined to attend"
The above offer was made the
same day to both papers by Mr.
Newman and it was accepted by the
sPREss, but the Dispatch refused to
entertain it.
Since the act of 1884 requiring the
annual statement to be published, il
has as we believe appeared annually
in the " only Democratic paper
and been paid for at the regular
rates out of the county funds.
50 far as we ara informed no Re-
publican ever demurred paying his
share of the taxes for this expens,
although the money went into 1
Democratic pocket. This is a FREE
country, and men have the right tC
select the newspaper they prefer
and when they have an organ oi
their own political faith, they should
although it may be in the minority,
have the privilege of reading in its
columns such matters as pertain t.
the county and which they arr
taxed to pay for.
The action of the Commissioner
was eminentIy fair. They recog-
nized as an honorable principle thai
she minority have rights, and they
palso pemembsred that they were th'
custodians Of the peoples money
and that it should be as economi.
