Here is his interview witli C. II. Kicg, a man with whom most of our people are acquainti-d, having lived here as sheriff of the county at an early day: "C. II. Kiny; i? justly indignant. Says he, "I am well known to the old inhabi tant of I'Uttsiuoutlu When I go there, they chake hauJs, paw the air, and act, like a lot of school toys, at th renewal of old associations.

Now if I am not a yoter, wUv.t the devil Aminy -way Ami will you tell me w hat I am?'' Well, you are a blank blankety fool if you take any stock in the misstatements of your county seat cranks. If you will look-over this much talked of petition yoc will find every name has been count ed that the law votld permit of. You may have lived hero for three centuries, but if you did not si;n the petition as the law directs go commissioner who -valued his oath would count your name. The law very plainly Btates what 6hall be done, and any editor who?e chief desire is not to deceive the pi-ople, would, after looking into the question, s;iy tlvt the commissioners were Iionest and fair. If thin petition was all right, why di 1 you not fallow it up ia the courts, instead of gettico; out and ciiculutiny a new locu tion?

When a part of the peo ple wanted to be heard by remonstrance or otherwise, your county board ignored the plain letter of the law, ignored jus tice and honesty by calliug the election at once, and, that the same scheme is frustrated, now you howl like one bereft of his senses; fair treatment is not what you want-on the other hand,it is exactly what you don't want. "What are the facts about this immaculate petition of yours? Forty days were taken to in vestigate thoroughly the signatures. Of course, you howled at tlat; you did not want them investigated; you knew they would not bear iuvestigation. Af ter the commissioners made up their minds in the face of the law as it ap peared to them that they dared not ca 1 the election on the petition before them without doing violence to their oath f office, the county attorney, II. D. Travi', E-q.. a man whose every interest is in Weepitg. Water, but who is known nil over the district as nn able lawyer, was called in and consulted by the board. After looking the matter over, Mr. Travis was compelled by Lis sense of honor to agree with the commissioners, and so informed them. It is true that Mr. Trietsch lives near Louisville, but that fact did not d ter him from doiDg what he knew the law demanded of him This cons'ant abuse of the commissioners, because they would not become w illing tools of the west end, is cowardly and mean. No man of principle, conversant with the facts, would engage in any such warfare. What is for the best interests of the county is a debatable subject, but the dt man J th.ii.uii Hlc .r r!

The opinion of such a journal is dt serving of very little conlidei'ce and lespect. The opinion of the court in the bond ci se speaks for itself and convinces fiir minded, unp'i judic d readers of its correctness; yet tliesr journals, while th -y traduce the court, have Ett the fuinnfs to publish i hat opinion. It is the same ca.si; with the HCtion of oui county com-misi-ionurs in ulusii g to cull tn election to relocate the county seat of Cuss county The commissioners am abused nnd tra duced in a shameful manner. Yet, no' eveu a comment ajpe;.is, in a majority of those organs, suggifcting what the facts were, upon which the commission ers acted. They don't want the people to know these very important facts. A petition was present d which did not pretend to comply with the requirements of the Btatutes of our state, providing for the re-locaiion of a county s'.-a1 Over two hundred and forty of the signers of the petition withdrew their names from it; so that, upon no possible pretext could it be upheld uud, although i bete was some three hun dred odd signatures on the pttiti 'ii which failed to state the section, town ship, range, town or city in which the persons so signing resided, or their ages or time of residence in the county. Yet, couniing these names, the petition did not contain the miun s of "n sident elec tors of said county equa'. ia number to three tifths of all the votes in s od county at the last general election." Ttiese rc- tion was a milky v iiln.uc a compiianc therewith. The petition was rejected be cause it was not a legal petition. If three hundred men could disregard the statutes in signing it, the thirty-one or two hundred necessary to authorize the calling of an election, could disregard tho 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 lit fault. Newspapers like the Eagle and Repub lican, of Weeping Water, ought to have respect enough for themselves, if not for our county officials, to let the public know wherein the commissioners aie at fault. Aain, the attempt ia made to make the public believe that the names of cer tain old citizens were stricken off the petition dishonestly, and evidently some of these citizens believe they have been wrongfully denied the right of petition by the county board. These names were pointed out 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. It was one of the reasoni the county commissioners gave to the peopl why, under the,;; law, they not i .'ill1 1 nevr How dido Sm ilut Itresi.itobtMMl by In- The Uniovl ktat.-s' Enii-trer-snrv offi cials of tins city aro rc;i;".y a:;uoed at present hy tho amount of ii.'it weight gold com ti.iiS ia cmiin-y i::io lii - r cof fer;.

Practical joking has had many follow er3 aanong "great men;'' bus tho manner in which Beethoven was cured of it should bo a lesson to all whos:id practice the "art." Tho wife of a pianist in V lenna was a grat admirer or tha com poser's works, and had set her heart on getting a lock of his hair. She induced her husband to get a mutual friend to ask for it; but tu3 friend, being a prac tical joker, instead of carrying out her wishes, persuaded Beethoven, who also was fond of a practical joke, to send her a lock cut from a billy goat's beard, the hair of which in texture and color slightly resembled that of the composer's. The lady was very proud of her sup posed treasure, until another friend, who knew tho facts, informed her of the trie, when she wad so didtrcssed that her husband wrote an indignant letter to Beethoven. Tho composer's dis courtesy to a lady being thus brought homo to him, ho was so ashamed that he immediately wrote a letter of apology, inclosing a geuuire lock of hair; and 110 resolved never to bo 1 pt'.rcy to such jokes again.
