EDITOR FUTILE TALKS.

r. ". futile writes Va follows to the
Emmons County Record:
have watched with a good deal Ot
interest your remarks in the Record con
corning an article that appeared III Il re-
cent issue of the Bismarck Settler. in
which some serious reflections were mace
upon the district court in its treatment of
q young man named Larsen, NJ the last
should not say anything about the matter
now, only that in your late issue you ask
Attorney Patterson and myself, both of
us having been there. what the facts were.
1 don't believe Mr.. Patterson will say
all. thing in the premises. He knows, as
I do. that the Settler article was a tissue
of falsehuods. 80 far as 1T related to the
court. Mr.. Patterson has the chance of
a life time to show the public that he has
nj. :, mpathy with such alleged journal
ian a- the Settler is ,ndulging in. ] will
not 20 into details regarding the article.
II is enough to say that. if there is any
thing true regarding the court, in the
Settler article. I failed to ace it.
But, trieLd streeter, %pugnacious as I
am by nature, I have quit trying to set
right a paper like the Settler, that would
rather be wrong than right. A paper
that charges me with being responsible
for the alleged blind pigs that exist at
Winona il a reckless prevaricator. What
sort of q lower furnace there is for Mofet
and his gang l don't kno4. But he may
advertise himself ne he likes as a leader
of the various branches of his church
that won't save him. His mission in life
seems IT, be to viilify, regardless of truth.
Such journalism does not pay in this
world or the next, and I wish You we'll of
your job trying to get him and his ''bag
of bones'' straight You have a thankless
task OH your hands.
Yours truly,

Brer. Lyle, Of the johnson City
CoMEr, has been elected justice of the
peace in a republican city that never
went democratic before. The only way
we can account for Brer. Lyle's success
is his we'll known capacity for holding
booze and the we'll known hankering of
all republicans of taking everything
that is in sightthat don't cost thing.
Brer. Lyle furnished the mountain due
and they all got loaded too heavy to
get to the pollsand vote. We congratu-
late our brother, and if he willgo along
in the even tenor of his way telling the
same Jokes and drinking the same old
colorloss booze that has been made at
least one day, and not try to initiate
our deadly enemy, Moike Connolly, by
drinking red liquor, eating hay and
copying all his editorials from the Free
Press, we will take back all the mean
things we have said about him.

Speaking of the Presidents message
the Nashville Sun says
"There is not in it line OF the cour-
age of Cleveland, even with the latter's
treachery. There is nothing of the
courage, craftsmanship and loyalty Of
Jefferson. There is not one of the
thrilling sentences of Jackson. There
is nothing to impart one semblance
even Of the kindly, democratic instinct
of Abraham Lincoln.
To the contrary, it is the vain, blind
feeling of q politician, raised to high
place by mighty interests as their ser
want, the creature of circumstances, the
beneficiary of pivotal state.
"The message will not perturb OF
DIVIDE democrats. 1t will disgust re
publicans. Strong in nothing, weak il
all points, without the merit of any
originality, blemished by cheap evasionl
untrue to the platform on which it,
author stood, a betrayal of the masses
it will make chaos of the congressiona
session now upon us and give steadi
ness to no interest. -

Public Roads.

We would like to call the attention Of
the authorities of the Ninth district OF
Washington county to the road leading
from the Chucky river and Cherokee
country to johnson City, beginning
at the sand banks where the road
crosses the line between the eighth and
ninth districts, and to see whether the
road could be changed from the sand
bars, and ups and downs, and ms and
outs, and placed on ground that road
can be made possible. Now, this road
in question from the above designated
point to where it intersects with the
Buffalo road, should be revised and
laid on as suitable ground as possible,
and to as little damage as possible to
the parties whose land tits to run over.
Now please let me call your attention
to the fact that this is q tolerahly old
settled country, and taking this and
the requirements of the law into con-
sideration, shall we continue to labor
under such disadvantages and expect
our country to prosper and.our town to
build up.
Now the specifcations'of the law for
this class road require that the road
shall not be laid to run along in the
bed Of streams of water, and the road
must be ditched whenever needed to
drain off the road; that..the road bed
shall be fourteen feet from ditch to
ditch. This don't mean from bank to
bank, but that the road bed shall bG
this width when. it is practicable ia
have it so. ......
We hope this matter will receive
some attention so that our country
may go up rather than down. What

was the matter of fees to be allowed
Messrs. Burrow and Harr in the bond

be reasonable fee, as something like

to allow $751; and 80 voted. So far

The public dispises sham and cant,
and for that reason it takes kindly to
a newspaper that renounces and do
nounces every form of hypocrisy. Such
q journal is the Washington Post. The
Post has a most delicious manner Of
disposing of papier mache statesman
ship. One Of its keen thrusts is all that
is necessary to make an incision that
exposes the hypocrisy Of a man or q
movement, and though the wound may
be neither wide nor deep, it is. like
MerCutio's, sufficient. Would thai
there were more newspapers like tie
