The last issuo of tho Alliance Guide rovoals the fact that her "representative business men" aro again preparing to mount the ringbonod, spavined aud short' windod old hobby horso of CounMroctin' the Hunter school this win tv Seat romoval. Oho would -i think that tho small portion of Alliance population who favor tho renewed agitation of this question, would havo learned bjr past experience that the majority of tho people of Box Butto Coun ty aro entirely satisfied with their present County Seat Hom ingford. A contest was had, fair on Hemingford's sido, though undeniable attempts at fraudu lent practices woro made by Al liance's partisans. It was decid ed that Hemingford bo tho coun ty seat of Box Butte comity. Wo do not deny that if Alliance wero mo uountv aeat it would b'e moro convenient for a fow Al- lianco lawyers. But is the desire of tho majority of tho people of Box Butto County to ho set aside for tho convenience of a fow at-. torneys and somo politicians to whom an agitation of this kind offers an opportunity for cheap notoriety? Hemingford is in the center of tho county. Tho interests of tho major part of tho people of tho County demand that Hemingford remain the County Seat. Tho. town of Hemingford has present ed to tho County a fino Court House. Thera is thus no exponso !, ut annM x ni. ' 'representative business men" passed a resolution declaring that if the county seat bo remov ed to Alliance, it was not tho in tention to issuo bonds to build an expensive Court House. In tho first placb wo would like to inquire, by what authority these "representative business men" pro tend to guide the destines of Box Butte County to state what tho County will or will not do? Furthermore, though their dec laration be true, what difference would it mako to tho tax-payers of tho county whether they pay taxes to keep up the interest on bonds or pay rent for county offices, which the abandonment of the present Court House at Heming ford would necessitate? The elec tion which it is proposed to havo would entail an expense of up wards of a thousand dollars. In these hard times tho people should think twice before burdening them selves with this additional indebt edness. But wo havo no fear that this matter will be moro than "a tempest in a tea-pot." Tho West has had enough of these senseless county scat fights, where by somo unwisely ambitious town seeks to put aside tho will of tho people of the county for its per sonal advantage. Alliance has the railroad round house and machine shops to which it is justly entitled; Hemingford has tho county seat which by vir tue of its location and choice of tho people, it should remain in un disputed possession of. There should bo no animosity between wo two towns. Jjot us live in peace and harmony allowing this county seat matter to bo only a memory of the past. Weather very fino for this time of year.
