VINDICATION.
Not desiring to rekindle the dead
fires of the late lamented attempt
to remove the county seat of this
county, The IIekalo. in justice to
our board of county commissioners, '
publishes herewitn a decision ot
our supreme court covering the
p-i'cise points whic'i came before
(' ti uo'iis-'ioiiers
when the last petition, praying for
i. l ii i. . ; ,, . ion to again j
vote on the (pics, ion of removal, j
was considered. Our readers will j
remember tint tin- county board,,
upon remonstrance against the j
petition, struck oif certain names:
from the petition which did not'
pretend to comply wall the require-1
incuts ol the law, and allowed cer- j
tain signers to withdraw ,h ir names
from the petition, for which action
they (the county board) were
roundly and intemperately abused
and traduced. The following deci
sion, announced yesterday, by a
unanimous court at Lincoln vindi
cates the county commissioners of
this county so fully and completely
that apologies are certainly in
order from those who abused our
officials for simply observing and
obeying the law. Here it is:
tol .VTV SEAT TASK KKVKKShD
I he now somewhat celebrated
county seat contest in Dakota
county was given another turn by
an opinion handed down by the
supreme court to-day. When this
now famous contest was inaiigit
rated a petition was presented to
the board of commissioners asking
that an election be called for the
purpose of voting upon the ques
tion of the relocation of the county
seat. The application was resisted
by a remonstrance of more than
two-lifths ol the legal voters of 1 lie
e iunty, in which it was alleged that
201 names on the petition were
fraudulent; that thirty-six had
signed more than once; that other
names were forgeries; that 200 had
been induced to sign by bribery;
that 'JtiO who had signed the peti
tion subsequently signed the re
monstrance; that thirty-one were
unlawful signers. A supplemental
petition was also tiled. After con
sidering the matter the board or
dered the election asked for by the
petitioners. The matter was taken
into the courts and again the peti
tioners were victorious, Then the
case was brought to the supreme
court and yesterday was reversed.
In its opinion the supreme court
lays down the law in regard to
county seat contests in a manner
that will hardly be misunderstood
in similar cases in the future. The
syllabusof theopiuion is as follows:
"Pndcrthe provisions of section
!, iir'icle .'!, of chapter 17, compiled
" u s, a petition for the removal
county seat must be signed by
. Vent electors" of the county
i 1 number to three-fifths of
.ill the votes cast in the county at
the last general election. The
words "resident electors" are used
to distinguish actual residents of
the county from such persons as
are temporarily therein.
"In addition to the name of each
petitioner the petition must show
the section, township and range on
which, or the town or city in which
he resides, together with his age
and time of residence in the
county. The omission of any of
these particulars will be sufficient
to cause his rejection as a peti
tioner. "In examining the names of the
petitioners it is the duty of the
board to carefully scrutinize the en
tire list and reject all that are ficti
tious, false or repetitious, and to
permit proof tending to show that
some or till of those who have
9igned the petition or remonstrance
were not in fact resident electors of
the county.
"The petition when presented
must contain the names of all per
sons who desire to sign the same
as petitioners. A supplemental
petition is unauthorized.
"No form of bribery to secure
votes will be sanctioned by the
courts. This rule is equally as im
portant in county seat elections as
in other cases. The design of the
law is to secure the free and volun
tary expression of each voter of his
choice for the county seat."

TO STRIKE BA K A X C A M 1 .
It is undeniable that there i. cu
siderable provocation I'm die
measure of retaliation ag.d ,st
Canada which Senator Morgan ol
Alabama proposes. The senator
has ititroi need a bill giving tin
president power, by proclamation,
to suspend the operation of tin
laws which permit the transit, bee
of duty, of merchandise in bond to
and from Canada over I'nited
States territory. This bin, it passed,
would deal a severe blow to the
Canadian Pacific railroad priuiriiv ,
and ultimately it would seriously
injure every interest in the
Dominion. About four years ago
the senator presented a measure ol
this sort, inspire I, as it is now, by
Canada' action in the HehiitigS. a
matter, but it did not command the
popular favor. At thepiesent time,
howevtr, the bill is sure to receive
stronger support from all parlies
than it did then.
It is tolerably well known to the
I'nited Slates by this time that
Canada is the chief cause of the
hitch in the peaceful and satislae
tory disposition of the seal fishery
question. Premier Salisbury's re.
lusal to agree to an extension of the
in )dus vi-endi in the waters of
Hehring Sea is undoubtedly due to
Canada's hostility to the scheme.
All along the Canadians have been
opposed to the joint protection to
the seals which the I'nited States
and Kngland alTorded. Most of the
poaching had been done by the
Canadians, and they protested
against the regulations which cur
tailed their liberties in this direc
tion. The world is interested in the
preservation of the seal life which
the Dominion pirates would
destroy utterly and permanently
within the next two or three years
were they permitted to gratify their
greed in killing these animals in
discriminately and at wholesale.
Of course it is well known that
the I'nited States feels a warm
interest in its northern neighbor
We are bound to her by intimate
trade and social ties, which we are
desirous of rendering closer and
permanent. Her course in this
uialter, however, has been decidedly
hostile to our interests, and indi
rectly to the interests of the rest of
the world, from the start. The seal
question would have been settled
several years ago had she exhibited
a fair amount of reason and
decency. Two or three times the
controversy between Great Hritain
and the I'nited States seemed to be
on the point of satisfactory adjust
ment when she stepped in and
brought the negotiations to
naught. The point in the affair has
now been almost reached when
further forbearance on our side
will be neither dignified nor wise.
It is true the retaliation which the
Alabama senator proposes is some
what drastic, but it is doubtful if
any course less radical and heroic
would bring the Dominion to a
realizing sense of the proprieties
of the situation. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A KKW evenings ago the Journal
published an article which re
flected on the way Mr. Hird Critch
field kept the county clerk's office
and stating that he had kept the
office in a very loose manner, and
intimating that the ballots of the
last election had been tampered
with. We have investigated the
matter and have found that the
county clerk's office and its records
had been kept in a much better
shape than any of his predecessors
had ever kept them and that the
ballots had been kept as safe as
possible with the means the county
provides, and if the ballots should
be kept any ditferent than they
have been, it is the fault of the
county and not of Mr, Critchlield.
A safe was rented to keep tin
records of the clerk's office in, and
they have also had to keep a part of
the county judge's records in the
office. Assoon as it was known that
there was to be a contest the bal
lots were taken out of the bo where
they had been put and were placed
in the safe. If the ballots should
have been kcjt any different than
they were, it was the fault of the
commissioners for not providing
such a place.
THE IlKKAl.li reporter today inter
viewed Judge Ramsey in regard to
the testimony introduced on the
subject of the ciiseof the ballots in
the Salisbury Hearing contest.'
Judge Ramsey states, substantially
that while the testimony, to one
unacquainted w ith the situation of
theclerks oftice might lead to the
belief that proper and legal care
had not been taken uf the ballot...

however, is out.-ide the line of all
previous disputes In tweeii these
countries, and the audience which
it attracts is more extended than
any which was ever Called together
by a discu sion in which the
I'nited States was eer a partici
pant. In the Samoa alfair, also,
this country appeared in a new'
role, and it was brought, in
diplomacy, into collision with a
nation with whose interests and
ambitious hitherto ours never
clashed. '
Indeed, a new diplomatic epoch
has opened for the country. The
circle of its interests and activities
has immensely broadened within
the past few years, and the old era
of seclusion and separation has
closed. Our home industries and
enterprises no longer completely
monopolize our energies. A field
for our talent and capital outside
our wn borders is being sought
and the quest is being pushed with
intelligence and vigor. We will
thus touch the current of the life of
the rest of the world more closely
than before and at more points.
The new conditions, of course, will
give rise to new issues and precipi
tate complications and controver
sies which would have been im
possible in our old state. As these
are the inevitable consequence of
the altered circumstances we must
try to meet the requirements of the
situation. Our old policy of avoid
ing alliances with foreign nations
must be adhered to. Kit rope will
be required In keep its hands olf
tnis continent, and we will refrain
from interference in Kurope's com
binntions and quarrels. Our com
mercial conquests in the western
hemisphere and in the rest of the
world will often bring us into colli
sion with other nations, but in such
cases our well-known freedom from
ambition toward further territorial
absorption will do much to disarm
outside hostility toward us. Hut
in any event the new diplomatic
period which we have entered is
full of perplexities and perils, and
the situation demands a forbear
ance, a sagacity and a tact which
will call out all the resources of our
statesmen and executives.- Globe-Democrat.

they congregate in large docks,
seemingly at the call of some ven

ami to whom all the crows in the
vicinity owe allegiance, for at the
sounding of his signal they come
in from all directions, till several

proceed to business, exercising
through various evolutions, and at
tended with great noise and confii
