VINDICATION.
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.

county to uphold its interests.

Two well - dressed women stood
nmonj- the throng at the ribbon count
er in nne of the lar-e lry frioda stores
in Sixth avenue, a few las ago, s;iys
the N. V. 7'r.nr,ainl havinjj at length
obtained t he services of a clerk one of
them said: "I want to buy some nar
row ribbon for fars. but I must have
the colors of the German Hag, and,
strangely enough, neither my friend
nor I can recall thorn. 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".
The "other yoiing lady" and the In
diana school teacher tittered audibly,
but there was no sign of a smile on the
clerk's face as she drawled: "Shall I
have the package scut up to your
home, ma'am?"

considerable success, only being in

ten days for the first attnek. The

have been equally as bad as the
