THE RAILROAD PROPOSITION. For years Lincoln county has felt the great necessity for a com peting line of transportation. For years the people have suffered from this source, patiently waiting for an opportunity that would give them another railroad and permit the opening and development of our vast agricultural interests. That opportunity is at last presented, and it comes in a shape to confer the greatest benefit upon the great est number. In no other way could a line pass through the coun ty that would so nearly benefit every part. Entering at the north east corner, it passes on almost a direct line to Wallace, passing out westward near the southwest cor ner, giving us fully sixtv-five miles of road. At the start, the taxes on the road will more than pav the in terest on the aid asked, and at the end of twenty years when the first bond becomes due will have paid the interest and principal. Consi dering the advantages to be derived by the reduction of freight, addi tional shipping facilies, the lower ing of the price of lumber and coal, to grant the aid and thereby secure the road, will be a profitable busi ness transaction. The proposition was drawn by our own citizens, who are practical ly managers and directors of the company, the company having its the we to inception here. It is one of- fairest propositions of the kind have seen. The bonds are not be issued or commence drawing in terest until the road is built and in operation through the county. They are not" to be placed in the hands of a trustee with certain fine-worded provisions that frequently lead to disputes and litigation, but are to remain in the hands of our own officers, not to go out until every condition of the contract is compli ed with by the company. The Tribune has always been conservative on the question of vot ing aid to railroads; but this appears to us to be an exceptional case. We want the road and want it bad. We are paying out thousands of dollars yearly that can be saved to our peo ple. Vote, the aid and the road will be built. Defeat the proposi tion and its conduction wiil be in definitely postponed. Let us have the road. We do not understand that the Knights of Labor is a political or ganization: but so far we have not heard of any protest against the us' of the name by Mr. Stebbins. JDDGE. JAMES M. RAY is a candidate for the office of County.Judge, subject to tho nomination of the Republican county convention. Abe the Knights of Labor going to enter the field in this county as a political factor? If notniii authori tative protest should be made against the unauthorized use of its name in connection with the so-called Farmer's Alliance convention. For nearly two years R. H. Lang ford has filled the office of County Supt. of Instruction, greatly to the improvement of the schools, and the advancement and efficiency of the teachers. Prof. Langford is a thorough educator, fully conver sant with modern methods, but re taining just enough of the old to make his system practicable and conform to what experience has shown to be reasonable. During his term there has been many changes in school districts involv ing the settlement of many deli cate questions, but his executive ability has proved equal to the emergency, having in every instance settled the affairs according to law, with a due regard to the equities of each case. Of the many divisions of property, we have yet to hear of a single complaint. Whatever may lie the choice of the convention, these things can truthfully be plac ed to Prof. Langford's credit, and have, proper weight with the dele gates. See announcement. Hummel & Peck have purchased the Gandy Pioncm'-Bcubpcan. Al. Hummel. was formerly publisher of the Pioneer. While we do not look for improvement, for the P.-JR. has been a good paper under Mr. hyphenated dropped. name 'be gradually JT. Sterling Morton, Col. Geo. B. Everett, Gen. Van Wyck and Gov. Thayer are said to be the champion agricultural speakers at farmer's picnics and fairs. There is a friendly rivaly ;is to who shall carry off the pennant. We shall place our money on Gen. Van Wvck. John Hawley was a candidate two years ago before the Republi can Convention for nomination for Sheriff, and will again present his claims to that bod' as will be seen by his announcement. Squire Hawley is one of our most estima ble citizens, and is so well known throughout the county that words of commendation seen almost sur perfluous. He has been iustice of the peace in this city for years, and in tha many cases that have come before him has exhibited sound judgement. He has a large number of friends and should he be called to the position of Sheriff, the office will be in good hands. a strong xndob8mbnt. Cottonwood Sept. 1, 1889. Editor Tribune: The account of the Institute in your paper of the 28th prox. gave me much plea sure. Such things should receive credit, and we think Prof. Lang ford should come in for a full share. No one could have done more. And should the seventy teachers in attendence have their way Mr. Langford would be his own successor. At the fall elec tion, right here I would say that I think the teachers are as well quali fied to judge of the merrits of the county Superintendent as any other class. And as they say he is a good Supt., we must take it for granted. No one denies that Mr. Langford has made a good Superin tendent. All the opposition to that gentleman comes from perso nal prejudice. Is this right, we think not, was there ever a man or woman that served the public that pleased every one? We think not. It is considered that when we get a good teacher it is best to keep them; This will apply equal as well to the county Superintendent, and this count' never had a better one than the present. I am not paid for blowing Mr. Langford's horn, nor does he know that I favor his re election. But as one that always takes an interest in school affairs, I feel it my duty to do all I can for the best interest of schools in and out of the county. Therefore I shall be found doing all I can hon orably for the reelection of Profes sor Langford. B. F. Baker. a letter from mr. belton. Editor Tribune: In your issue of August 29th I criticised the statement published by our county Treasurer of money col lected and warrants not redeemed and asked him to explain to the public his reason for keeping over 827,734.27 of the public money in the Treasury instead of paying off the public indebtedness and stopping interest. The interest on the amount of money held in treasury amounts to $1, 941 .40 at 7 per cent (which the county pays) per an num. In the kindness of your heart you came to the rescue of the trea surer by saying "The chief duty of the treasurer is to collect the taxes, but if be negleb'ts to wrap up a package of money and label it for the redemption of a certain regis tered warrant no one is harmed. On the other hand if he does obey the strict letter of the law in this regard the business community is crippled by the withdrawl of the money from circulation." f you had substituted banks for ''business community" you would have come .nearer the mark. The whole sub- will keep it tip to theirar surest that the larger half of thelH88 ;lhe We take pleasure" in calling at tention to the announcement of W. C. Elder, who so far seems to be the only candidate for the office of clerk of the Court. Those who were not acquainted with Mr. Elder had some doubts when he was ap pointed last Spring as to his ability to fill the place, but he has proven in every way qualified, oeing em- cient, gentlemanly and accommoda ting. Where considerable confu sion existed previous to his incum bency, he lias created order, and the books and papers ot his otnee are systematized and properly arran ged. Without disparaging the claims of any others who may be come candidates, we can say that Mr. Elder is certainly worthy of the place. Loran Sturges has consented to be a candidate before the Republican Convention for County Commis sioner, and his name will be presented by the delegation from Hall precinct, where he has resided for many years. Mr. Sturgis came to Lincoln county at an earlv day, and like most of the pioneers at once became interested in stock,the whole country being a free range. He has a fine ranch about five miles north of this city, being largely nterested in wool growing. For four years he has been assessor of his precinct, aud has represented its T" 1 T . 1 t - LtepuDiicans in county conventions and otherwise for a long time. Conservative in thought, well acquainted with the whole county, if nominated Mr. Sturgis will fill the position with credit and impar- ,ially administer affairs or the county. a Jaw bv not paving the count? in debtedness there would have been n money panic here. Your argu ment is incomprehensible, you do not claim that the treasurer increas ed the amount of money by giv iug it to the banks instead of pay ing it to the persons to whom it be longs. Then why a panic? Why should the poor granger who has worked hard for the coun ty take a warrant for his pay, pays for its registration in order that he may get his money as soon as col lected, the money is collected, but instead of paying him his money it is deposited in the banks in order to get it into circulation ana pre vent a panic, aud the poor fellow is compelled to go to the banks and borrow moneyfvery likely his own) pay two or three per cent a month, mortgage his horse, cattle and other property to secure a loan. Now if he had received his own money he would not be compelled to do so, but the poor fellow can console himself for his loss bv the good he has done by helping to prevent a panic. It is self evident that such a system of conducting the trea sury is contrary to law, terrible ex pensive to the county, injurious to every tax payer in the county ex cept the banks, in fact it mignt be called a bankers syndicate to run the county. During the year 1885 the treasurer had money nearly the whole year, there were thousands of dollars of registered warrants but not a warrant was redeemed for cash till the last day of the year. This year there were thousands of dollars in the treasury and not a general fund warrant redeemed for cash for six months, and then only part called in. If one treasurer can go one year and another six months without complying with the law in redeeming warrants, there is no reason why he should not go two years during the whole time of his term, and then his successor fol low suit, and keep on that way eternally, for the way the present system works the banks will get all the warrants. For it would be fol ly for a private person to buy a warrant for he would not know if it would ever be paid, but it would not make any difference with the banks for they get all the public money. The banks this year bought thou sands of dollars of claims against the county at ninty cents on the dollar where the" poor granger had to have money. The banks got to fighting among themselves when warrants were issued and sent them to ninety seven cents, hut Mr. Hecock this week, assessor of Peck ham precinct, tried to sell his war rants of $87.00 but the bank only offered him ninety-five cents.
