Tmtbsdav, Eeruaky 25. 1S87 FAREWELL. A deal has been made w hereby The 5SlOCX COO'TT JOCBXAL will change Hwadtaa March 1, 1S97, at which time Use sww proprietor, Mr. Geo. D. Canon, aawwtpaper man of experience, will sxn--lasae control, and in the next isue of Xie pr he will outline the future (policy thereof. For nearly eight years the undersigned has been editor of The JoibsaL and in time lie has pasted through all the riowritudes incident to the business in a new; unproven country. In that time many controversies have taken place and while the policy of The Jotrn.vl has not always met the approval of all, its honesty of purpose has won and held ifor it the respect and confidence of the fair-minded people, and the paper has .never yet turned its buck to a friend or ;an enemy. To those who have been his -..true friends the writer extends thanks; rto those who have been open, honest .enemies be entertains the highest re expect; for those hypocrites wlio have -attempted by smirks und smiles to get a .better opportunity to injure him he has line most supreme contempt; for tliose .whom he has befriended and assisted ;and who have shown themselves so lack iinif in the attributes of manhood and , honor that they have been so ungrate ful as seek to injure him he has the pa tience to wait to see them reap the re--ward merited by such a course. The conditions now existing in Sioux .countv at this time are vastly differ ent ,from those of eight years : ago, and the change in the ownership of THi J(UB"aL connot but assist ia mak dk some difference. . Mr. Canon comes ihere a stranger to all past controversies, ; and with no occasion to take them up :and the retiring editor commends him to it lie people of Sioux county and trusts - that under his control The Journal will .continue to stand up for justices and j right in the future as it has in the past. Thanking the people for patronage in ithe past years the writer as editer of '.THE JoUKSAL bids them farewell. .Respectfully, L. J. Simmons. ;Now is the time to subscribe. Greece is hot, therefore it is m j proper condition to baste Turkey. the The opening up and the developing of itb Wyoming oil fields is another re- source upon which the west may count :for industrial recuperation. The oil de , posits of this region will, without (doubt, furnish the larger part of the world's supply before many years. The tiuan who overlooks this important fac--tor io the advancement of the great west ,iuakes a mistake which will weaken all i his conclusions. Omaha Bee. A law restricting immigration ia very , likely to be passed by congress. The i bill which has been agreed upon provides that foreiffMrs who can neither read or -write shall be returned to the port whence .they sailed at the expense of the trans - I port company which brought the illiter ate person to our shores. Exceptions :are made in cases where the illiterate person is the wife or daughter of a man who can pass the test examination. The object is to stop the ignorant and crim inal classes from flocking to tbe United .-States. The report of the inter-state commerce ,rom mission for tbe year ending June 80, 18M, shows that more than one hundred ;aad seveety thousand mile of railroad war operated and that the gross re .eeiptt war $l,12S,4,6tt.

After all the contented person is near est to happiness. It. is fortunate tlmt this is not denied the poor nor those w ho labor with their hands. The great mis take of nearly all civilized people is the! apparent idea that the pursuit of wealth is the object of living and to attain it I the onlv aim of life. The rich are j no. happier th:in the poor, not a happy Usually. Of course people who are hun gry and cold are not very happy, but the work of any mau's hands will kee; those dismal specters far away from a family, and with food, fuel and clothing there is no good reason why one shoulJ noteujoy himself just as well as the man w ho has millions and wants mil lions more. If we would study and con trive more for contentment and happiness in our present state and less for money there would be less strife and conten tion. Most of this is the result of envy, and we do not know the tfrief and wor ry of those we envy. The man who sUips bis honest toil to look at his wealthy neighbor as he rides by is very opt to commisserate his ow n hard Jot. As though a team and carriage, a fine house and good clothes were an indica tion of good health, a good digestion, domestic felicity and all the things men must have if they would lie happy? If you have good health the rich invalid envies you and you would not exchange places with him for any amount of mon ey, if you nave a pleasant auu agreea ble family in a cottage many men who live in the finest houses would lie much more happy were they in your place. In fact riches can do so little toward mak ing people happy and do so much to make trouble, care and misery lliat the wisest men among the ancients even took pains to remain poor. York Tinv. The legislative committee appointed to investigate the records of the out going state officials reported on some of them. The report shows ex-Treasurer Hartley to be short over half a million dollars, ex-Auditor Moore over twenty seven thousand and ex-Land Commis sioner Russell to be guilty of crooked work. The ex-officials claim that they can clear the matter up all right, al though another report says that Eugene Moore admits that he is short and that the money was invested in mining out in Colorado. It is hoped that the matter will be sifted to the very bottom and if any of those who are charged with crooked work are guilty let them be made to suffer for it. There is no occa sion for the display of any partisan , wnoni on eil,er BKle The report lias gone out to the world that those men are guilty and it rests with those who liave made the charges to prove them and on those against whom tbe charges are made falls the task of proving them selves innocent or suffer the penalty. As the ex-oitivials on whom tlie cloud rests are all republicans tlie members of the party should see that the investiga tion is full and fair, and if the charges are not sustained the fullest satisfaction should he demanded from those making the charges. If, when all of the facts are known, it is found that the charges made are true the republican party owe it to itself to see that those who betrayed the confidence reposed iu them are made to pay tbe penalty. In no other way can the parly hope to prove to tlie people that it does not knowingly uphold any man or act which is out honest or honorable. It is hoped that tbe men will be able to set themselves rigtjt io tbe matter, but if not they forfeit all right to the respec t of all bonest men, rtgardless of party, ami the foot that Eugene Moore has posed a the goodey good one of the republican Ouiaia oiakes Ins position even worae i than that of the other, and iidI'.-im lis i hows up a clean record tlie contempt uf j all will follow bia tbrvugfc life, let all I Mlt9laew. 1 1 hi' Toledo WeeUr Blade.
