OUR FUTURE STAND.

Henceforth, unless for good and
sufficient cause, the Free Press will
advocate the election to county
flee of men who are not profess
SIGNALS at the business. BY this
we mean men who profess no
legitimate means of support, ex'
cept through holding an Office,
and who, in this way. manage to
flsten their grip upon the public
crib for y quarter of century
more or less. The public is credu'
lous. It's sympathles are easily
aroused and when all legitimate
efforts are liable to result disas.
trously, the professional Office hold.
er, in order to accomplish his own
selfish ends, will, as last resort,
boodwink the unsuspecting voter
by PLAYING the poverty racket for
ali it is worth; and in nine cas- es
out Of ten it works to perfection.
This IS wholly wrong and is al
lowed to prevail simply for lack OF
protest. That this method of
being elected to Office is in vogue
in Benton countyto a ridiculo us
extent is unimpeachable, and the
Free Press is going to take the
thankless job of exposing this class
of hypocrites. A second or third
term candidate unable to receive
the support of his fellow man ex.
cept through the poverty route,
had better pass the remainder of
his days in the almshouse. Such
a plea is gall personifed, and is
used only by those who have no
other particular recommendation.
The Free Press takes this stand
on. the supposition that "what is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander." If the sauce is so, rich
in flavor let the dish be passed
around that others may haye at
least a smell. No one is. possessed
with an intellect 80 superior to the
rest OF mankind but what the ship
of state will pursue the even tenor
of it's way should the perpetual.
poverty-stricken Office holder be
relegated to private life.

A sarac:nns Horse.

Some amusement has been caused b.
a story about horse belonging to q
contractor. 1t appears that short time
ago it slipped on the roadway and fell
into bin or pit that was just along
side. The animal suffered no apparent
injury, but could nol be induced to
make any effort with view to escap-
ing from its narrow prison. At last s.
was determined that mechanical means
of rescue must be brought into play, SO
a derrick was sent for, and with some
difficulty set up over the hole, singing
gear being provided to hoist the vic
tim. Just as all was ready and opera
tions were about to begin, the dinner
bell rang. Dobbin pricked UP his ears,
gave himself a shake, put his fore feet
on the edge of the bin, and was out OF
it in the twinkling of an eye. Then he
shambled off quietly to his stable in
time for his midday feed.

Rats in the Azores.

A resident of Faya1, says the Revue
Scientifique. complains of the abund-
ance of rats and rabbits. The rats
multiply fast, and make all sorts of
depredations, not only within houses,
but in the fields and gardens. They at
tack a great number of edible fruits,
such as bananas, oranges and grapes;
they infest granaries, houses and fields.
Among other depredations, the rabbits
have attacked field of tea plants, and
Of four thousand vigorous shoots that
were set out by the proprietor, they
have destroyed 1888 completely, leav-
ing him twelve by way Of consolation.
The farmers are beginning to ask what
they shall do. Shall they import the
mongoose? The example Of Jamaica
makes them hesitate. And still another
example in the Azores is of kind to
render them cautious in matters Of ac-
climation. The pigs there have been
allowed to run wild and live in state
of freedom; the result is that imported
cartridges have almost entirely disap-
peared. the young having been eaten
by the swine. 1t is thus difficult to tell
what to do, and meanwhile rats and
rabbits are abandoning themselves to
all sorts of excuses.
