Not desiriti"; to rekindle the dead fires of the late lamented attempt to remove the county seat of this county, The Hekalh, in justice to our board of count' commissioners, publishes herewith a decision ot our supreme court covering the precise points which came before the Cass county commissioners when the last petition, praying for the calling of an election to again vote on the question of removal, was considered. Our readers will remember that the county board, upon remonstrance against the petition, struck off certain names from the petition which did not pretend to comply with the require ments of the law, and allowed cer tain signers to withdraw their names from the petition, for which action they (the county board) were roundly and intemperately abused and traduced. The following deci sion, announced j-esterday, by a unanimous court at Lincoln vindi cates the county commissioners of this county so fully and complete! that apologies are certainly in order from those who abused our officials for simply observing and obeying the law. Here it is: COUNTY SEAT CASE REVERSED. The now somewhat celebrated count' seat contest in Dakota county was given another turn hy an opinion handed down by the supreme court to-day. When this now famous contest was inaugu 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-fifths of the legal voters of the county, 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 2G9 who had signed the peti tion subsequently signed the re monstrance; that thirty-one were unlawful signers. A supplemental petition was also filed. 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-1 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 syllabus of the opinion is as follows: "Under the provisions of section 1, article 3, of chapter 17, compiled statutes, a petition for the removal of a county seat must be signed by "resident electors'' of the county equal in number to three-fifths, of all 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 all of those who have signed 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 eqi ally as im portant in county seat elections as in other cases. The design of the Jaw is to secure 1he free and volun tary expression of each voter of his choice for the county seat." The alliance expects to carry four northern and four southern states next fall Kansas, Nebraska, Min nesota, South Dakota, Georgia, Ala bama, Arkansas and North Caro lina. But the alliance leaders will find that their followers in the south are like Colonel Livingston, of Georgia, first democrats and then alliance men. The farmers of the west understand this, and they will not be used as cat's paws again to draw alliance chestnuts from the fire for the democrats. They did that two vears ago and the great alliance delegation they elected to congress ceased to exist when the Fiity-second congress organized. Inter Ocean. J. I. Unruh, whose term exspires this spring as a member of the school board, will be nominated bj' acclamation and be elected to suc ceed himself by a handsome major ity. Mr. Unruh has given entire satisfaction during his connection with the board and his retirement from the board would be bad policy. The house committee on naval affairs have reported in favor of the construction of one or more war vessels eaeh year until enough shall have been provided to meet any possible emergency. This pol icy will be indorsed by the people, and it can be pursued without any danger of financial embarrassment. The treasury watch-dogs on the republican side of the house are worth more than their weight in gold to the country now that those southern war claims have so many friends in that dody. President Carnot has signed the reciprocity treaty between France and the United States, which makes another commercial con quest for the republican party. From reading last night's Journal one would conclude it had gone uack on the democratic party and left it without a paper in the county to uphold its interests.

Do you remem ber what they are?" "I do not," said the girl politely, 5m jresse! apparently by the internation al character of her customers, "but the other young lady at this counter may know." "The other young lady" naid she thought the colors were black and yellow. "I am sure that isn't right," re marked an oi l customer who, was sit ting on the third stool down the count er. "Possibly the floor walker would know," suggested the clerk. "Ca-a-fch! Ask Mr. Fitzhugh to come here." That functionary having arrived the matter was duly referred to him. "There are three colors," he declared; "black, red and yellow." "Are you sure?" asked the two shop pers earnestly. "We cannot make a mistake." "I am almost sure that is wrong," interposed a young woman near by who had overheard the controversy; "mv husband is a (ic:man, and I nevei heard of yellow in the German Hag." "It miirht be buff," conceded the floor walker. "I used to teach srhool in Indiana," remarked a tall woman with a catskin mulT, "and I can settle this question The colors in the German flag are red, white and yellow." This seemed authoritative.but some how the various contestants didn't ap pear satisfied. "There's Schwartz, the floor walker in the cotton department," suggested the stately Fitzhujrh, "he's a German himself; he'll know: Cash, go and ask Mr. Schwartz to write the colors in tho German flag on this card." The Indiana school teacher did not look pleased, but the matter having gone to the Court of Appeals she rested her case, and the cash girl was back in a minute with the card. On it were written the words, "black, red and white." "That settles it. Thank you so much," said the two feminine shoppers gratefully, looking apprehensively at the listening throng. "How much is the narrow ribbon, please?" - - "Twenty-two edits a piece of ten raids luVara," answered the girl, ex pectantly. "Well, we need only a little; give me a yard of each eolor. How much wilj that be?" "Seven cents," murmured the clerk, staggered for a moment by the mag nitude of the order. aft-r the. trouble of obtaining i".
