THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

The office of county attorney, consider
ed in all it's bearings and responsible
ties, is the most important office in the
county. To that office the sheriff, the
board of county commissioners. the
county auditor and other county officers
look for advice and guidance in all mat
ters of a difficult character, and, per-
haps, it is not too much to say that
when that Office is ably and creditably
administered it is most difficult for the
affairs of the county to stray far from
the safe and conservative course
Considered from the criminal side, the
responsibilities of that office are still
more important and require high de-
gree of professional ability. It is here
that the able and conscientious LAWYER
can protect the interests of the state
and of society by speedy and effective
prosecutions where crimes have been
committed, while at the Same time ga,
ing thousands and thousands of dollars
to the taxpayers by its disbursement
Of prosecutions and the findings of IN
d1ctments upon no evidence whatever, or
upon insufficient evidence.
AS between the two candidates now be-
fore the people for the Office the Glob g
desires to be absolutely fair. Mr.. Bige
low has held that office for two Years
ana While 1t Is conceded that during
these two years there has been less i'm
portant cases than for a generation. vet
Mr.. Bigelow's administration exhibits a
degree Of inefficiency in the prosecution
OF criminal cases never before witnessed
in the county, and we doubt il such a
record has ever appeared in the state.
Of Mr.. T. R. Kane, the Democratic
candidate for this position, We can only
say that if a lawyers ability and stand
ing In his profession can be inferred by
the estimates in which he is held bv the
other members of his profession then
Mr. Kane has the highest claim for our
support in this campaign, for theG OBJ g
believes it is no exaggerat ton to saw that
he is supported by 80 per cent of the
bar of this county, irrespective of party
affiliations. While known perhaps more
generally as an eloquent and forcible
public speaker, his friends also recognize
IN him scholar and hard student in his
profession, and there seems to be a gen
eral concensus of opinion among both
business and professional men that if
elected he will give a distinguished and
creditable administration of that office
1t is one position where the man, rather
than the party whose candidate he is.

sion which brought it out it seems some
thing in the form of a challenge of the
known attitude of the emperor toward
the Socialists.
save the Socialists alone, there is not
an element of German society at the pres
ent moment but is heartily in agreement
with the aggressive imperialism Of the
emperor All the ssustainment which he
can reasonably ask on the part Of the
people is being extended to him. The
country realizes that he is anxious to
broaden the national horizon and
strengthen the power and prestige Of the
empire in the councils of the world The
vast growth of manufacturing interests;
the aggressive efforts which are being put
forward in China and elsewhere to pace
Germany among. the foremost of the Eu-
ropean races in colonization, and in the
extension of territorial sway in other
lands, and the settled purpose of the
emperor to dispute the ascendency of
England, France and the United States
in foreign commerce, have the sustain
ment of the mass of the German people
both at home and abroad.
Whatever may be the immediate results
of the new German policy, it is accepted
by the other nations that, short of aome in
ternational complications, there is nothing
which can effectualIy stay the PROGRESSES

ton of rendering United Germany one of

teristics of the Chinese which may well
be despised, but also of those other

initiate? We will soon learn that that

TO which they are accustomed in dealing

ry OF our nervous existence there are
already signs of danger and collapse. To

pected, nor is it essential that we bring
ourselves down to the dead level of
Chinese nervousness" yet a little of it
could not fail to be beneficial, both in
promoting individual happiness and in
prolonging national existence.
The benefits derived by the Chinese
from their tendency to ancestor worshin
mas long been much mooted question
among students of Chinese history. Eut
that certain elements in it might well
be copied by all other nations cannot be
doubted. The tendency to ilial obedi-
ence in whatever nation it has been
found, has always been for that nation
a source of strength And among all
nations of the past with weakening of
the feeling of reverence for the sanctity
of the family relation has come weak

the feeling is still strong in the Chinese
character may account for the fact that
amid the surrounding signs of decay
there still remains a latent national vi
tally which all authorities agree may at
any time awaken to new and vigorous
life. In other words, China owes her
long life largely to this trait of rev
erence for the things that are aged. Suen
reverence, or indeed, reverence for any
thing, has never been a striking feature
of our American life. In our eager quest
for the new we lose sight of even the
things that are of priceless value in the

Every citizen, no matter what his noIi-

his political opponents. But the per-
sonaliues resulting have been kept with
In bounds, and when the contest is over,
no matter what the result may be. there
will be little occasion for HI-feeling re-
manning
Whatever the result may be it will be
one Of the most enduring consequences
on the policy of the government Of the
United States. Should the president be
reelected, the policy of Imperialism. So
called, will have received the national
sanction, and the country will stand com
mitted to the policy of foreign possessions.
The opposition to territorial extension
outside this hemisphere will have dfsap-
peared as completely as the opposition to
internal Improvements, which was insisted
on so strenuously for a long period in
our political history. Not only on this
hemisphere, but wherever it is regarded
as the national interest to seek territorial
extension, the flag of the United States
may one day wave with the full sanction
of national authority.
There is no fear that We shall ever en-
ter upon wars of conquest. That is
against not only the spirit of our insti-
tutions, but against the genius and dispo-
sition of this people. But the extension
