~ ICIl SSoul q
OUR PLAGUE. has fallen upon
Carolina, especi
ally upon that sect known as
Republicans-and the name OF
the plague is Russell" We
Democrats can sylnpathize with
the victims of this disease, for
not many years ago we suf-
fered with the same nausea and
tired feeling-ther called "Cleve
land" But there is this differ
ence we always felt pretty GER
tain what the Sheriff would do,
tho his views were antipodal to
ours but the peculiarly of the
new plague is that one never
knows where next it will break
| out or whom it will attack. On
one day Governor Russell will
be arm>in, arm with the Demo-
cratic(2J organ i'll Raleigh f.; the
next he has consigned it, with
his usual spicy vocabulary, to a
place warmer than Alaska.
Probably Senator Butler, Sena>
tor Pritchard, or even "Bailey OF
Carolina" have had similar ex>
periences. The governor is all
right to work aulh, but mind
you do mt cross him.

Faircloth, c. J., dissenting. To
us laity the decision of the state
courts seems to set dangerous
precedent. Indeed, Justice Fail
cloth says that under its ruling
the Secretary of State may for
cause depose the governor. If
so we have no more to say. Mr..
Russell can not be worsted. But
while the case hangs in the Uni
ted States Court until the latter
part Of January. the new Com
missioners Caldwell and Pearson
are holding the Office and, what
is of far more import, drawing

Mandan Times: The editor Of the
Washburn LEADER thinks it ''mistaken
sentiment" to make the birthday "f
Abraham Lincoln legal holiday. The
late jeff Davis would have agreed with
the LEADER man. Loyal Amer, ,an citi'
zens heartily approve the action Of the
legislature.
Lincoln is oil right. He done
his full duty in the high position
assigned him by tho American
people in the light given him,
and that is the best any of
us poor mortals can do But
the Washburn LEADER thinks
it a mistake in the unending
accumulation of legal holidays.
Better I, few "legal" holidays
we'll observed, than many, UNI
observed. We have now two ie-
gal holidays in this short month,
Washington and Lincoln's.
1t is the legal holiday business
run to ground that caused the

and unassuning protest-the
patriotic platitudes of the Man:

bune, notwithstanding.
