Reflect Too Little.


 Some farmers read too much and re- fleet too llttle-depend too much upon others, too little npon themselves. They make of their heads cold storage warehouses for other peoples ideas instead of standing up in their own Independent, godIike individuality. Reading and ereading of mail order catalogues leaye a man in about the same condition as Mark Twnin's toad with it's stomach full of shot
 What do the mail order houses do for the farmer? Do they relieve him of any of his tax burdens? No; they just relieve him of his money. It is a case of representation without taxa tion, and we fear in time this manner and method of doing business will cause revolution among the pro ducers and consumers which will eclipse the American Revolution

 would like to know if this is true, not that this would make any difference with me. so it does not take you away from your duties as Judge, but with some it will have some influence.
 The above letter was received by me, last Saturday. 1 am sur prised and shocked to know that Mr. Bailey would indulge in such gross misrepresentations. Every citizen of Prescott knows that l have no Bookkeeping position with any firm. It is true, that last year, and up to the time Joe Bailey and J. A. White bought out MT. J, K. Hamilton, 1 would go to Mir. Hamilton's store at night and write up his books. and early in the morning or some idle time during the day, would drop in and spend a few moments, but devoted no time that 1 was needed at my office. 1 have spent as much time in my office as any man that has ever been Judge of Nevada County. MT. Bailey has forgotten that Judge Hirst, Judge Sutton, and Judge Harris, lived on their farms, and sometimes perhaps, would not see Prescott for a month. Judge Thomas, one term of his office, lived on his farm at Emmet. Judge Denman had pri- vate interests that he looked after, and was sometimes out of town. 1 am not using the names of these gentlemen to cast any reflection, but MT. Bailey seems to have forgotten these things. but the people haven't.
 Now Mir. Bailey not only makes the impression that 1 held this bookkeeping position at the present time, but said that I get 5000 per month. He knows that 1 haven't any such position, but perhaps he is trying to refer to last year, but from some slip of the tongue he makes the peo- pie believe that hold the posi- tion now. Now listen: Joe Bai. ley and J. A. White bought out MT. J. K. Hamilton, and he has access to MT. Hamilton's Books, and Mir. Bailey KNOWS that 1 received only $50 % per month for the work referred to. Any body IS at liberty to ask, or call Mir. Hamilton at my expense, in- vestigate Mr. Hamilton, s Books. and if he finds that 1 received, last year, for the work referred to, more than so. .00 per month, 1 viii make him d present of $1o0 60 iu cash, and withdraw from the race.
 He says that l get $15000 per month for my services on the Exemption board. Ii Mr. Bailey knows the facts in this matter He knows better, and if he does not know the facts, he should have been too much of a gentle man to have made the statement. II Is absolutely untrue.
 People everywhere l go, tell me of the misrepresentations above referred to, and other statements he makes that are just as untrue. A misrepresen- tation in politics is just as crimi- nal as a misrepresentation in the Sunday School class.
 Now, l ask the people to inYes- tigate the charges that Mr. Bai- ley has made, and if upon inVes-
