The Winneshiek County Court
House.

1t is not the province of the PLAIN
DEALER to interfere in the local mat
tiers of our neighboring county, bpt,
accepting the report Of it's grand jury
in relation to the unsafe condition of
its county records, presents a con-
dition that we may discuss in the in
terest of our many readers in the por-
tion of that county contiguous to our
OVID.
1t is this. Very little of the land
of the county is row owned or occu-
pied by the original purchaser from
the United States. Most Of it has
passed through several persons by con-
veyance, or through the probate or
other court procee dings. The present
owner may have in his possession his
title deed from his grantor, but be-
tween that and the original grant
from the United States there may
have been number of owners, and
the present owner in case of deStruc-
ton of the records by fire, in order to
complete the chain that would make
good his own title would need each OF
the title deeds made prior to the date
of his own. Every person who OWLS
farm, a village or city lot is inter-
ested in the matter as his own title
rests upon a preservation Of the
records of transfers and previous own
ership Of the plat ct ground that con-
stitutes his home, and should be will
ing to bear his share of reasonable
cost to render the records secure from
destruction. And the farther we get
away from the original entry the
more important and intricate the
question becomes.

The Democratic Ticket.

In advocating the interests of the
democratic nominees for the county,
tits not necessary to speak unk1ndly
or disparagingly of the opposing can
didates. Even if the were lacking In
merit, we should prefer to the capa-
biltty and honesty of our own candi-
dates rather than to base their claim
upon the untitness of the opposition.
We believe the democratic candi-
dates are equal in point of merit with
any ever presented to the people of the
county by any party, not one OF them
is an Office seeker but each one had to
be sought out and urged into the race.
