DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

By order of County Committee. DAVID W. SHIELDS, T , Chairman. Jas. W. McEwen, Sec’y.

It was an impossibility for us to be present at the investigation of the management of the poor asylum, and we arrive at our concl uh sions from the article in this week s Republican, inspiredfand written, we believe, by the county attorney, S. P. f'lompson, Esq, The investigation was precipitated by fht: :'• rof the pj-o; 'K ? y ~f the ■ J-. tfria. dm author of article suggests that “Ke stirring ud and investigation of of the poor farm management was a good thing”; that “the negligence of superintendent and commissioners in act complying with the technical requirements of the law in the matter of a penal bond, and semi-annual reports, were the results of a lack of information regarding the law.” He says, regarding the food furnished, ‘it has lacked in variety and even at times a more liberal supply would perhaps have been desirable;” admits that “it did happen that the fire was out of the main furnace, on a chilly day in March, following a spell of warm weather, when the grand jury was there. ”

From this statement of the case we believe the author of the above will agree with us Ist That ‘ignorance of the law’ is not excusable under law. One frequently hears the proposition “You are presumed to know the law.” 2d. The amount paid for each inmate shouldinsuref one and all a good variety and liberal supply of palateable food. 3d. That the appointment of H. O. Harris, Wm. Washburn and John Randle as a visiting board to look after matters at the poor farm, is rather a queer vindication. It is in keeping with a form or verdict frequently rendered by our juries, to-wit: “We, the jury, find the defendant not guilty, but to pay the costs. ” The Board of Commissioners visit the poor asvlum during every regular term of Commissioners’ Court. If “irregularities and negligence” exist they should be ferretted out by them, and proper punishment meted out the offender. The people can render a verdict in the matter next November. “The Democrats say the tariff is added to the price of the article purchased. How about the tariff on corn, wheat, oats, barley,Jhay, potatoes, &c. ? The McKinley bill increases the tariff on all of those. The farmers know protection protects them.” —Rensselaer Republican. Now read what Gen. Tom Brown says on this point Mr. Brown has for many years represented in Congress the most intense republican district in this state. He says: But you ask: “Why not as well lay a bounty on wheat or corn 9 ” Neither wheat nor corn is import* ed. Our home markets are not invaded to any extent by foreign corn or wheat. Neither the tariff nor a bounty would afford these industries protection. They need no protection. By taking what I have said as to the logic of the sugar bounty you will see that the reasons do not apply to wheat or corn production. A bounty on these latter would be a tax pure and simple on the consumer for the benefit of the producer, without any returning compensation to the consumer, either present or prospective. Tom Browne is correct when he says of wheat and corn, “They need no protection.” And when he says, too, that “a bounty on these latter (wheat and corn) wo’d be a tax pure and simple on the consumer for the benefit of the producer, without any returning compensation to the consumer, either present or prospective,” he utters a truth which will apply with equal force against the sugar bounty. But brother is an ignoramus on the workings of the tariff. ' -♦ •***• *•— The Hendricks statue will be unveiled at Indianapolis July Ist.

DUN BROWN.

The vexed question of “county rights” will walk squarely into the Republican convention at Fowler next Wednesday in a li.ely mans ner, . Benton demands the nominee cn two grounds: Ist. As being the biggest dog in the puddle. 3d. Because of the long suffering of the great meu at her Hub. Newton stands solely yet firmly nn the unwritten and unbroken law of “county rotation” and fights for hyr turn. Jasper hath kept the office a

score of years and pleads adverse possession in bar. Benton t housed our Major a minor part of nis term. No Senator hath abode in Newton a single day. n the tents of Jasper hath dwelt Governor Dwiggins, “Honest George,” Captain Hoover and “Onr Simon,” and so the pro< prietary right resteth here. It mus* be Dunn. If it be Dunn, then will arise a goodly man of ye tribe of ye Democrats, to have it unßuan, or, in other words, have him Dunn Brown. Selah. “Spectator.”

THE CONNEMARA GIRL.

Her Dress, Her Food, Her Charms, and Her One Dream of Life. > The Connemara girl! She weighs about 180 pounds. She wears a woolen peticoat woven by herself, and over her head and serving the purposes of both shawl and hood is a white peticoat, held in place by her left hand under her chin. The red-petticoat reaches only half-way down her calves. The stride of this child ofthe bog is Amazonian, yet very graceful. Her days are spent in carrying seaweed for manure, turf for the fire, and water for the illicit still. Sometimes she carries the turf a distance of two miles on her back in a wicker basket. Her load generally weighs about 100 pounds. Her stockings have no soles, and she is too poor to buy shoes. But she wears the legs of heavy stockings to protect her calves, when the edge of her heavy petticoat, wet with sea water, slaps against them. Her hands resemble a piece of tanned leather, they are so hardened by toil. The brown cow that browses in the bog is no more innocent than this maid of the crag and bog land. Such a wealth erf color, such satin skin and such vigorous health are not seen in America. In the evening, after this maiden has worked like a donkey, she goes home and eats a supper of potatoes (boiled potatoes) nothing else. Her father or mother may drink a cup of tea, but that luxury is denied to the girl. The tea costs too much. When the potatoe skins have been fed to the pig the Connemara girl heaps on the turf, for there is plenty of it there, and nods herself to sleep in the chimney nook. Or, it may be, if there are visitors or neighbors in the house, she will lilt or hum for them to dance by on the hearthstone. This lilt is one of the quaintest things heard in Ireland. The sounds resemble closely those of an Irish pipe. They are produced by the vocal organs in conjunction with the tongue. The tune is usually very rapid, and the lilter catches her breath frequently. And what do you suppose the Connemara girl’s by night and by day is? ‘Tis that she may gather S2O together so that she can go to America, the land of catarrh and pneumonta; of indoor work, where she will lose her satiny skin and splendid vigor; where her eyes will ache for a sight of the Tweve Pins of Connemara; where—but, pshaw! she’ll cross the sea when she gets her passage money.

Slightly Confused.

A small Chicago boy made an amusing mistake at the Sabbath school last Sunday. The golden text for the day was: “And Jesus said. I am the bread of life.” The little fellow, who is only 6 years old, studied this for three hours, until he thought he had the text per fectly committed to memo'-y. Ht went to Sunday school with a triumphant smile on bis face. The exercises opened and the teacher asked the scholars if any of them I new the golden text Tue words had hardly left the teiu hci-'s mouth before th boy’s arm shot up. ••Well, what is it ? ” asked the teacher with a stei’e. ‘ And Jesus said I am a loaf of bread,” replied the 6-year-old in a glib tone of voice, and he settled down in his ch ur with the consciousness of having done his duty. —a » —..1 -i ■!— Jay v-.
