Let Us Be Certain.

1t is unfair for the Republicans,
while washing their dirty clothing, TO
splash suds on honest Democrats.
The evening paper, as usual, stirs up a
noisome eilluvium, by charges against
the county administration. and the
morning paper Immediately declares
that Democrats Begin Their Dirty
Work." in its largest megaphone
type. 1t is intimated by the Recorder
that there is about $27 600 deialcation
through various deficiencies. If this
be true, it should be established be-
yond question and the responsibility
fixed where it belongs, and not allowed
to rest upon palpable errors in the
Auditors report and failure to array
the figures so as to make full and
complete exhibit. If false, it is equally
obligatory, in fair politics, that the
truth be known. Partisan zeal or
personal spite does not justify false
hood nor deceit. The Olympian claims
that the deficit is only apparent, and
that larger portion of it is covered
by money that has been invested under
the law in Understanding warrants
from the bond sinking fund. If this
be true, let the answer be sufficiently ex.
plicit and supported by such proof as to
do simple justice to the parties accused.
If it be untrue. let ample punishment,
follow and the guilty be eliminated
from the contest now on.
Chairman Henry has placed 5000
for payment of expert examin alton
that will disclose defalcations, as have
been, at least by innuendo, charged
and we certainly have accountants
who can make q full and true repor,
ii all the facts and figures are sub
mitted. If any defalcation is proven
the STANDARD will be unqualified in
its denunciation of the act. But, a.
it has been shown in the past, it will
not be diverted from its course OF hon
esty in politics.
JONES' ILLUSTRATION PROVED toe

the choice of some of his illustrations

ing by proxy, for when followed out tc
their logical sequence, they would in
variably prove just the opposite OF the
point intended. One of these was o.
the young man who wanted some
shirts made, and when his chum pro
posed that the job be given his sister
at 25 cents apiece. The young mar
took the matter "under advisement'
as the big-wigs say, but finally re
solved to employ his own sister to dc
the work at double the price, giving a:
reason that by this means he KEEP
the money in the family. Uniortu
nately for Mr.. Jones' point, however
the sister in the latter case is repre-
sented by a trust, and the transaction
can only be justified by admission tina
the trust is in the closest of relation
ship with the protective party. Their
were very few of Mr.. Jones' illustra
lions but what, when carried to fina
results, would have been just as dis
astrous to the Congressman's claims.

there was a vast majority In the old

that Il would be rushed through Just
