Entered at the Harrison post office a sec
oad class matter.
THUMDaY, FMBI ABY 8, 190.
THE JOCKS AL acknowledges the receipt
of the Compendium of the T-jntti Census,
Part 1 and 2, with the compliments of
Senator A. H. Paddock. Tlie books con
tain a vast amount of information rela
tive to the condition of the United States
at the taking of the census in 1SH0. The
books can be found at this office by all
who wish to consult them.
A terrible calamity befell Secretary of
the Navy Tracy on last Monday morning
by the destruction of his home in Wash
ington. Mrs. Tracy was awakened by
smoke which filled the room and found
lier husband apparently overcome by
the smoke, but she succeeded in drag
ging him to a window and admitting
fresh air. The room occupied as a sleep
ing apartment was situated on the sec
ond floor, and having opened the window
Mrs. Tracy jumped to the ground, sus
taining injuries from which she died
within an hour. Secretary Tracy was
thought to be dead when taken from the
building, but the vital spark of life still
remained and he gradually revived. On
the same floor where the room of her
parents was located was found the life
less body of their daughter. Miss Marie,
and also that of her French maid, both
having been suffocated by the smoke.
Mrs. Wilmerding, Secretary Tracy's
married daughter, accompanied by her
daughter, also occupied a room on the
second floor and both escajied without
serious injury by jumping from a win
dow to the ground. President Harrison
and all the members of the cabinet were
soon at the scene and each opened the
doors of his home to the stricken family.
President Harrison was the one who
broke the terrible news of the death of
his wife and child to Secretary Tracy as
soon as it was deemed proper to do so,
and the injured man is now being cared
for at the executive mansion. The re
mains of Mrs. Tracy and daughter were
placed in a casket and conveyed to the
east room of the White House, where
less than a week ago they stood gaily
greeting their many friends at the last
presidential reception. The origin of the
fire is unknown and will likely always
remain a mystery. The sympathy of
the entire nation goes out to Secretary
Tracy in his great loss.
The Jocrxal had hoped that after the
result of the election and defeat of the
scheme to keep the new officers from
taking their seats, that the old gang
that has been running matters since the
organization of Sioux county would be
satisfied to let law and justice take its
course and settle the questions of right
and wrong. But such hopes were vain,
for those who had participated in getting
the affairs of the county into the condi
tion they are continue in their attempts
to bolster up the actions of the old offi
cials and to mislead the people in regard
to the actions of the new men in office.
Not satisfied with the decision of the
people at the polls last November, they
concocted a scheme to keep the choice
of the people from taking possession of
the offices to which they were elected
and had it not been for the fact that the
people came here in force on January
9th, to see that justice was done, it is
hardly likely that one of the newly
elected officers would to-day be in pos
session of his rights, and now they at
tempt to brand the acts of the new
county board as illegal, high-handed and
extravagant.
In speaking of the estimate ol ex
penses made by the board at its meeting
in January the Herald says:
"When the county was organizod and had
a complete set of record and safes to buy,
modest levies were, made for three years.
.the total levies when everything had to be
bought new, not exceeding 181,772."
The above statement as to the amount
levied is correct. Now let us look at
the "modest" part of the levy.
On page 290, Chapter 18, Section 25, of
.the Statutes of 1887, relative to the du
ties of the county board, subdivision
first says:
"Taxes. To cause to be annually levied
and collected taxes authorized by law for
aounty purposes, sot exceeding one dollar
and fllty cent on the one hundred dollars
valuation, unless authorized by a vote of
the people ot the county, and in addition
.thereto sufficient to pay the interest, and
create a sinking fund for the payment of
the principal, of all Indebtedness which ex
kited at the adoption of the constitution,
November 1, lsTB."
The commissioners' record, book "A1
ipage 18, shows the following under date
of June ?, 1887:
"It wan resolved that the levy for county
'purposes be and the same is hereby declared
ito be U mills on the of assessed valuation,
In tha sum book on page 74, under
.date of June 12, 1888, the following ap
pear.:
"On motion It mill on the valuation was
levied for MM for county general fond. In
rinded ia this is t mills to pay outstanding
indebtedness and 1 mill is levied for IMS for
special bridge fand:"
Again on page 120 of the same book
, found under date of June 11, 1886, tin
following:
-To provide county revenue the boaad
nMdetbe following levy: for the general
tfand t mills on the I valuation and for the
,mant and bridge fond tjf mills on the f rain'
. ataoa- Tbey alaoanthosJM toe expenditure
i of 9 mi Us of tne geatral fnd rer nana and
C?ufee, litonicg -iimUar mAjw
the levy lias been as high as the law
would admit, makes the claim of mod
est levies fall a trifle flat
The organ of the ring makes a great
cry about the prospects of high taxes
and the high estimate made by the coun
ty board, but not one word does it say
in regard to the condition of the finances.
No word is uttered to show that "vith
the levy to the highest limit a debt of
more than ten thousond dollars has ac
cumulated against the county, and if
a levy for 180 could be made for
f 1H.KO0 it would not clear up tlie in
debtedness of the county and pay the
running expenses for the year.
The ring organ also makes a great
kii'k because of the action of the county
board in appointing George Walker
county attorney and claims that lie is
holding the office illegally. If tliat
was all, the question lias been taken to
the supreme court and will be settled
there as to its legality, but for the in
formation of our readers we ' refer them
to page 400, chapter 28, of the statutes
of 18t!7 which says:
"Sec. 105. f Appointments.) -Appointments
under the provision of this chapter shall be
In writing, and continue until the next
election at which the vacancy can be rilled
and until a successor is elected and quali
fied, and lie tiled with the secretary of state,
or proer township clerk, or proper county
clerk, respectively."
There is no mistaking tlie words of
the statute wheii it states that such ap
pointments shall be made in writing
and filed with the proper clerk, aud Com
missioner Weir, who was a member of
the old board when the ulleged appoint
ment of Mr. Hull was made, lias said
that no such written appointment was
made.
Tlie new board carried out tlie wish
of tlie people in the apjiointnient of
George Walker. The ring organ says
he is unscrupulous and unlit to serve
na position of re)onsibility. Hut
the fact is nevertheless established
that this same George Walker lias done
as much or more than any one man to
show up the condition of the affairs of
Sioux comity and the ultimate result
if the old ring was permitted to continue
in control. The board cannot be blamed
for not wanting Mr. Hull as county at
torney when not legally made so, but
his actions while acting under his alleged
appointment went to show that he was
into the scheme to keep the new officers
from being seated, and after his action
in that matter the county board would
not be apt to take much stock in his
legal advice and the result would be
that he would be in a very unpleasant
position.
There are a number of things regard
ing the records and conduct of the form
er officers of the county which the peo
ple desire to be informed about and
The Journal will give them the facts
in the matter as fast as time and space
will permit.
As regards the action of the county
board in making The Joubkal the of
ficial county paper, all there is to say
is that two of the members of the board
are straight republicans and they would
not be apt make the organ of the fusion
ring the official paper.
A Communication.
Editor Jocesal: I notice in the
Sioux County Herald of Jan. 25th that
the editor has been adding tlie various
items together that the new commission
ers estimated for tlie exiienses ol tne
county for the year 1890. Then when
the pent up fires of his indignant bosom
could no longer lie suppressed he breaks
forth with the exclamation "Holy
Grail!" (whatever that means). Wheth
er he really means to swear about it, or
whether he invokes the friendly aid of
somebody's ghost to cool his fevered
brow we are unable to tell. Then in the
exuberance of his nature lie shouts,
"hurrah for the mud ring!" Can it be
possible that the youthful editor of the
Herald is so obtuse as to confound an
estimate for expenses with a levy for
tlie same?
So wise, so young, they say,
Do ne'er live long.
No sane man can for a moment be
lieve that the commissioners intend to
make a levy sufficient to raise $37,000,
and yet tlie Herald in its eagerness to
find fault and to prejudice the people
against the new administration, seeks to
mislead public opinion.
Some one has said that tlie "Press is the
pulse of the people'" but in the case of
the people against the Herald, the peo
ple's pulse is not favorably impressed.
It is better to build up than to tear
down. I esteem it unwise and impolitic
to seek to smiroh the character of .any
well-disposed person cr combination of
persons who unite to obtaiu redress from
either real or fancied wrongs.
The glibness with which the Herald
applies the words "mud ring" to a ma
lontv of the voters of Sioux county is
in bad taste and tends to tear down
rather than to build up. Such a coursw
inay be the ambition of tbe Herald, but
.public sentiment is a wise critic and no
doubt will consign the catch-penny pa
per to the oblivion it so richly deserve.
Let us take a retMspactive view- of
aome of the proceedings ot certain par
ties who are supposed to be not overly
friendly to Uie so-called "mud ring."
We will define the meaning of "mud
ring" to mean dirty work, so as to be
able to make the application wliere it
properly belongs.
W. E. Patterson came to Sioux coun
ty to engage in journalistic work, pub-
U4d.the &0CX CflOrtT . JOMBUL, but
soon incurred tlie enmity of County At
torney E. D. Satterlee. tlie irorietor of
a rival paper, and on some trumped up
elkarge was arrested aud thrown into
jaiL
George Walker, in his laudable efforts
to expose to the public view tlie viola
tions of tlie law in tlie misappropriation
of the people's money bjfc tlie county
commissioners, by and with the advice
of the county attorney, was assaulted
in the dark with a bludgeou.
Again he was, on a charge that could
not be sustained, lodged in jail.
On another occasion, while engaged in
canvassing tlie county on tlie eve of an
election for tlie office of county attorney,
Mr. Walker was hunted over tlie county
by the officers of tlie law armed with a
warrant based on charges that were
spurious and that could not be sus
tained.
N. L. Pollard came to tlie county in
l9and engaged in the real estate busi
ness, v nuer tlie provisions of the lieru
law he had occasion to take up a horse
or cow belonging to J. W. Hunter, judge
of the county court. Hunter retaliated
by having Pollard arrested for the theft
of the animal and, as usual. Pollard was
incarcerated in the jail. Pollard stands
virtually acquitted, bu the county is
asked to foot the bill.
Hundreds of voters of this county lie-
lie ve that in at least one precinct, fraud
and ballot box stuffing defeated the
choice of the people at the annual elec
tion of 1RM8.
The recent action of the county com
missioners in requiring unreasonable and
excessive security on the bonds of the
officers chosen bv the people, or as the
JIiTald delights to call them tlie "mud
ring , looks like an attempt to accom
plish the result of w hat they failed to
secure at the polls.
Whether the above statements are
corroborated by tlie records and sus
tained by public opinion, I leave for the
public to decide.
If my definition of ''mud ring" as ap
plied to a combination of individuals be
correct (namely, a proiensity for doing
dirty work) liave I not shown that the
parties who are adepts in doing dirty
work, constituted the lowers that were,
but now are not? Siitio.
