Tub tone and tenor of thi county seat
)rtiun- in so in'eiuperatc arul abusive that
their readers must certaiuly under
stand their inability to either tell the
tru li or treat the question fairly and
honestly. The supreme court is tra
du xd and malign :d for deciding con
trary to their wishes. They assume to
criticise that tribunal, charging that its
opinion is dishonest and contrary to the
evidence and law. Yet, they studiously
avoid letting their readers know whi t
the opinion of the court was and what
reasons it gave for reversing Judge
Broady. Newppaper men of ordinary
fairness and manlincs- when they criti
cise a written or published utterance
which they disapprove of quote the same
or the objectionable portions thereof, in
order that their readers may judge for
themselves of the force and
merit of their criticisms;
but n-hen a public journal attempts to
smother the facts from the public and by
garbled extracts and abuse, endeavors to
excite the prejudices of their readers
Hgainst public officials and at the same
time are too cowardly to state fairly the
acts of the officials they censure and
criticise. The opinion of such a journal
is dt serving of very little confidence and
espect. The opinion of the court in the
bond case speaks for itself and convinces
fir minded, unprejudiced readers of its
correctness; yet these journals, while they
traduce the court, have not the fairness
to publish that opinion. It is the same
case with the action of our county com
misbionurs in refusing to call an election
to relocate the county peat of Cass county
The commissioners are abused and tra
duced in a shameful manner. Yet, not
eve 11 a comment appears, in a majority
ol those organs, suggesting what the
f vcts were, upon which the commission
ers acted. They don't want the people
to know these very important facts. A
petition was presented which did not
pretend to comply with the req'iirements
of the statutes of our state, providing
lor the re-location of a county seat.
Over two hundred and forty of the
signers of the petition withdrew their
Lames from it; so that, upon no possible
pretext could it be upheld and, although
heie was some three hun
dred odd signature on the petition
which failed to state the section, town-.-hip,
range, town or city in which the
persons so signing resided, or their ages
or time of residence in the county. Yet,
coun ing tius-j names, the petition did
not contain the names of "resident elec
tors of sni'.l county equal in number to
tiiree lift hi of all tVie votes in sjid county
at tiie last general election." These re
quirements are .mandatory and the peti
tion was a nulity without a compliance
therewith. The petition was rejected be-eau-e
it was not a legal petition. If
three hundred men could disregard the
s atuies in signing it, the thirty-one or
two hundred necessary to authorize the
calling of an election, could disregard
the law and refuse to state where they
resided and how long they have resided
in the county, or whether they were
"resident electors" or not. The county
commissioners of Cass county
did not make this law and should
not be abused if the petitioners for the
election failed to observe it and comply
with it. If the newspapers which cen
sure the county commissioners dispute
these facts, why don't they show the
people wherein the commissioners were
it fault.
Newspapers like the Eagle and RepuL
licau, of Weeping Water, ought to have
respect enough for themselves, if not for
our county officials, to let the public
know wherein the commissioners are at
fault.
A wain, the attempt is made to mak
the public believe that the names of cer
tain old citizens were stricken off the
petition dishonestly and evidently some
of thse citizens believe- they have been
wrongfully dented the right of petition
by the county board. ' These names
were pointed oat by the board as all il
legally appearing on the petition because
they failed to 'comply with the law,
which required them to state their exact
place of residence."1 It" was' one pt the
reason! the county commissioners gave
to4 the people why, tinder the law, tber
tion'rs; I)Ut hud tltche uhdihi been regu
lar on the petition it et was insufficient
to warrant the granting of the election,
because then there were not names
enjuh on the petition t authorize
the county lourd in 11 tint; favorably 011
the petition. It is to be rereted th'it
this spirit of unfairness has been rettorU d

a wiak case is when the argument of
abuse and falsehood is resorted to.

I'uKHy'n Wny of CHlcliing IlirdH.
A lady in Cincinnati litis a wonderful
cat named Dick, well known for its
sagacity. She has been in the habit of
taking crumbs from the table and shak
ing them 011 the ground outside, so that
the birds could feast therefrom. The
c;it, meanwhile, would ambush itself.
a:ii, at the opportune moment, pounce
upon trie bird and secure a seasonable
meal. The good lady tried to break the
cat of the habit, but her efforts were of
no avail. She then resorted to other
nivalis, but with no success. At last
she discontinued the practice of throw
ing out the crumbs for the birds. The
t at, seeing that its daily meal was not
forthcoming, entered the house, pur
loined a pitce of bread from the tablo,
scattered it over the ground at tho ac-i-.isiomed
feeding place, and awaited re-r-rilts
behind a tree. Soon the birds ap
