ovR TRADE WITH CANADA.

COMMISSIONERS ABLE TO
TRANSACT BUSINESS

The county commissioners, Messrs.
Schroeder and Thompson. are able to
do business today the first time this
week owing to the debauched condi-
ton of the chairman. The two gen
tlemen resolved last night that the
limit was reached. and this morning
when the board convened Mr.. Schroe-
der in a few plain words informed Mr..
Mr.. Bradley that his resignation as
chairman of the board was desired
that being under the influence of Ii
quor no business could be transacted
and he had to step down and out. Mr..
Bradley asked Mr.. Thompson for an
expression of his views in the premis-
es, and he coincided with Mr.. Schroed-
er and demanded Bradleys resignation.
Mr. Bradley tyereupon handed in
written resignation, which was ac-
cepted by vote of the other two. Mr..
Schroeder, as the oldest member was
then elected chairman, Messrs.
Thompson and Bradley voting for
him. Mr. Schroeder voting for Mr..
Thompson. This all transpired be-
fore other charges were preferred
against Mr. Bradley, having been
agreed upon by Messrs. Thompson
and Schroeder yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Bradley having been deposed
as above, the two members then pro
ceeded to business and are rushing
matters, hoping to wind up the session
by tomorrow evening.
The action of Messrs. Schroeder and
Thompson in demanding the resigna-
nation of Mr.. Bradley as chairman
must be commended. They should go
step further and ask for his resigna-
ton as member of the board The
Herald is not disposed at this time to
take up charges against Mr.. Bradley,
We have reirained from charges here
tofore and still do so, trusting that he
will see the appropriateness for retir-
| ing from public life.

RESOLUTIONS AT CLINTON.
Favor Reciprocity and Just Revision of
Tariff

Clinton. June 29.-The republican
county convention Saturday selected
delegates to the state convention and
adopted resolutions endorsing Presiden,
| Roosevelt, Governor Cummins, Senator
Allison and Deliver and Secretary
Shaw. The resolutions conclude:
Resolved, That, recognizing the ex-
Iistence of an erroneous belief that the
present tariff laws afford undue advan-
tage TO certain special interests, and
which belief may develop into a politi-
cal revolution that would destroy our
entire protective system and plunge
the country into the disasters that have
always attended the frea trade years of
our national history, and believing that
there is growing tendency TO retalia-
tory legislation on the part of Eu-
rcpean governments that seriously
menaces our foreign export trade;
I'VE hold that we'll considered and
just revision of our present tariff at the
hands of the party responsible for it,,
Sith the result of a gradual reduction
OF duties to the minimum rate consist
ent with the principle OF protection to
the American wage standards, VIII
minimize the danger from tariff
changes at home and abroad.
I'VE declare also in favorl2f the doc
trine of reciprocity, wheYver 4. viii
operate to enlarge the fled OF our COM
mercial conquests. or to work TO the
advantage of our people"
