If tlie bill presented by Mr. Thompson, and allowed by the Board of Commissioners, was not extravagant, what need is there so:- the Republican candidate for Senator to squeal so extravagantly in the columns of the Republican this week V

The duties of County Superintendent were extended, and the pay increased, when that office was created and that of County Examiner abolished. Mr. Thompson might as well claim that the Presidents preceding Grant* were as legally entitled to the salary of $50,000 a year as he, as to claim th at he was entitled to the compensation given to County Superintendents .to-day.

Thompsonian Method of Numeration.

TO SPEAKING OF EVENINGS. One minute is worth one cent. Five minutes is worth one nickel. Ten minutes is worth one dime. Twenty-five minutes is worth one quarter of a dollar. Fifty minutes is worth one-half dollar. Sixty minutes (or one hour) is worth sixty cents.

Mr. Thompson, according to the bill published last week charged, and was allowed, for four days and part of a day “distributing circulars to teachers,” at $3 pgr day, gay $13,50. According to this Jasper county must have been well supplied with teachers at that period. But there are those who think that labor might have been performed in half a day.

Mr. Thompson allowed himself to be. imposed upon when he paid $2 for 250 envelopes. The best could be had for $2 per 1000. But then it was repaid by the county.

C“The Sentinel puts itself to a great deal of trouble in publishing an old bill allowed to S. P. Th mj,in 1871 as School Examiner, * but its effects can surely be of no possible injury to Mr. Thompson.”—Mr. Thompson in Republican. Surely not, Bro. Thompson. — Do not give yourself any anxiety on that score. The law fixed your pay at $3 per day, made no provision for transportation charges, you only charged $lO, and we are satisfied with your lirerality in not charging up your board bill while on duty.

Hr. Thompson, in the Republican, says: • “We are glad the Sentinel has commenced the publication of Simon P. Thompson’s model accounts as School Examiner.” Yes, Mr. Thompson, they are ‘models.’ By the way, we are glad, too. Mr. Thompson still worries over tht) preambl • and resolution adopted by the Democratic Senatorial Convention. Believing that the election of Col. Patton to the Sena ‘will best subserve the interests of the people,” we, in common with the masses, as the Republican nominee will learn next November, have concluded to support the Independent candidate. M*\ Thompson boasts that lie is “an aggressive Republican, and that it is a political office,” therefore if the people desire their business transacted unhampered by the ties quoted above, they will cheerfully and heartily support Col. Patton.

The Republican refers to Ezra C. Nowels as a “member of DodTs raiders.” Mr. Nowels was in lowa when Morton’s emissary, Dodd, made his visit here in the role of “a martyr to the sacred right of free speech.” We make this mention simply to show how far off our neighbor sometimes is in his calculations. He is equally as far off in his location of oUr. “old, highly respected and honord citizen.” Funny! They claim it was a very proper thing to publish that account, and with blood m their eye are so' intent on the hunt for the p,„rty who funrnished it that they tackle one who is perfectly innocent in the matter.

Mr. Owen says, on appearing be. fore his audiences, that it is customary for Representatives, on their return home, to give an account of their stewardship, but that he was unable to do so. Billy will have to remain at home after the close of his present term. We want no man of straw to represent this District in Congress.

Billy Owens dodged the “bogus butter” bill. He had a wliolesome dread of the influence of the managers and employes of the Hammond factory, and believed any excuse he could give would go down with the farmers. But it won’t do, Billy. Tell them honestly and tr ithfullv why you ‘dodged.”

The next Congressman, Dr. flattery, swooped down upon our people last Friday and remained until the evening of the following Saturday. He arrived when the readers of the “Republican” and the high-toned ‘Message’ wer engaged in the perusal of a low-down slander sent out by the Congressional Republican publication bureau at Logansport. The app arance and general bearing of the gentleman pointedly and emphatically gave the lie to the article. Leading re. publicans were uutspoken in their denunciation of the rerainess and stupidity of the editors to give space to stuff so easily refuted.

Remington News: Mrs. W. H. Shaw raised something over 3,500 cucumbers from twenty vines. She has learned that the secret of raising cucumbers is in mulching the vin°s.

Billy Owen voted against a consideration of the tariff reform bill, and now comes b fore bis constituency with the doleful complaint that the reform promised was not accomplished. This insolent attempt at trickery?! to catch voles might do for wou d-like-to-be Senator Thompson, or our friend James, of the Message, but for a Minister of the Gospel to resort to it is simply disgusting and outrageous, and will not be tolerated by the intelligent voters of this district Billy is becoming too much of a worldling in his methods, and will have to be kept at home.

Chris. Hensler takes exception to and disputes the card of Dr. Patton. It was cruel to publish th. following in the same number of the paper containing Hensler’s rejoinder. Remington News: In your paper of last week occurs a card from Dr. Patton, from which I infer some one has accused him of extravagant charges in the treatment of Fred Lampro for a fractured femur and paid by the county. I was very familiar with the case. I visited him several times with Dr. Patton, and can confirm all he says and “the half was never told.” In twenty years practice, it was the worst case I ever saw to recover with a sound limb. Had the patient been independent of county aid the charges according to custom would have been far more. I was a partner of Dr. Patton for five years and know he seldom asked fo-* county aid, and I never knew him to refuse any one medical aid on account of poverty. I writejjjthis voluntarily to exculpate an innocent man.

Good One On “Our Sam.”

Goodland Herald: Sheriff Yeoman, of Jasper county, was in *own Monday, transacting some business. He found a few moments spare time upon his hands before the train arrived, and expressed a wish to some of the “faithful” to perform a lit le “missionary work for Simon Thompson” before he left. The boys sent him to T. P. Johnson who is a Republican, but a red-aot antiThompson man. The affable sheriff of Jasper took Johnson aside and opened up his “missionary work” but after the first round was the worst us *d-up missionary in this locality, as Johnson never stops for bre th when lie gets smarted. Yeoman soon weakened, and Johnson says before the finished the conversation that the worthy sheriff' wasn’t right dead sure that he was a very strong Thompson man himself. As he leaned against the corner of the depot and fanned his fainting form with his hat, he acknowledged that Simon lived in the same town he did and he felt bound to do him all the good he could.

James G. Blaine, in his Lake Sebago speech, made use of the following language: “I will not say that the democrat e party is responsible for the great southwestern labor troubles and the general labor troubles throughout the country, but there is a suspicious contemporaneousness about it.” On which the Winamac Democrat very sensibly retorts: “-Now, we will say that tha democratic party is not responsible for the munificeut and bountiful harvest of the present year, in wheat, oats, corn, grass, and, in fact, in every branch of agriculture, but we will say that there is a verv marked suspicious contemporaneousness about it.”

The Prohibitionists of Newton, Jasper and Benton counties met in Goodland Wednesday of last week and nominated Jos. Loughridge, of Benton county, for Senator; James Yeoman, of Jasper, for Representative, and A. D. Babcock, of Goodland, for Prosecutor. Goodland Herald: The flag carried by Col. Patton at the battle of Perryville, and which was shot into shreds in that memorable fight, is on exhil ition at Potter’s agricultural wareroom. Goodland Herald: That “Democratic trustee whe is supporting Thompson” is a good deal like the milk-sickness —always in the next township.

Nuts For the “Message” to Crack— When the Rensselaer Message would have the eople believe that the Democratic convention which met at Goodland for conference as to the Senatorial candidacy did “in effect certify to the fitness of both candidates and the satisfaction of the Democracy of the district with the election of either,” he attempts to gain a point for his friend Thompson by very glaring false pretenses. The Democracy was confronted at Lie convention referred to by a very considerable number of liberal and independent Republicans, some of them the immediate neighbors of th Republican nominee” and the prominent individuals of this element were very pronounced as to Mr. Thompson’s unfitness, and they made no disguise of their desire for his overwhelming defeat. That such a feeling does exist ..in the district among known and recognized Republicans is beyond the bounds of successful contradiction, and it was this visible exhibition of want of confidence in Mr. Thompson that contributed largely to the action of the convention as to the candidacy. The people who met at the convention, whether they participated in the proceedings or not, or no matter ■what their present political status or antecedents have been retired to their homes feeling that iff this contest Mr. Patton was the best man and the most deserving of their suffrages. In such a situation a formal public endorsement is of little value. Now it is preposterous to insinuate that the Democrats of this district by a iy act of theirs certified to the fitness of Mr. Thompson. They admit | that he is somewhat gifted by naj ture as to poesy, pettifogging, mo-ney-lending and calculating interest by 2 per cent, monthly methods, and possessed in a considerable degree with th „t smartness which seizes every opportunity of forcing himself into company whero he is not wanted, and often lifting himself to altitudes of selfglorification, so as fib enlarge his opportunities for avarice and personal aggrandizement. This is noi the fitness that Democrats either endorse, seek or desire in a Senatorial candidate, hence it will need no further argument to do awaj with the false and fraudulenl statement about “the satisfacteor of the Democracy with his elec tion,” if such an event should b< within the range of probabilities which we are very much in linec to doubt. —Benton Review.
