Constitutional Amendments.
We are informed that Secretary
State Piper has decided to have t
constitutional amendments print
for Saline county exclusively in t
Crete Vidette , and that a similar d
regard for the rights of the peoi
has been decided upon with respe
to almost every other county in t
state. We say "disregard for t
rights of the people , " because a fu
was placed at his disposal with whi
a man possessing ordinary busin <
judgment and a pioper respect i
the rights' 6f his constituents coi
have secured the publication of the
important matters in every paper
the state : thus affording the peoj
the best possible means of acquaii
ing themselves with the official s
nouueement of the questions whi
their legislators have asked them
vote upon at an expense of over $3
000 to'the state. If our informant
correct , which we sincerely hope
is not , the most charitable constri
tion that can be placed upon the cc
duct of Mr. Piper is that he is groi
ly incompetent and is so narrow a
contracted that he permits favoritis
to usurp the place of official integri
and duty. We do not believe that :
'
is actuated by impure motives , ;
though there are people who will su
gest that there is a much better c
portunity for a rake-off where t.
publication is only made in one pap
than where it is made in many , fi
Wells , in securing the publicatic
was simply looking after his own p :
vate business affairs , and as to hi
we have no criticism to offer , but
the transaction , Mr. Piper was su
posed to be looking after the intere
of the people , and we regret to s ;
that in this matter , as it is given on
he has displayed a lamentable wea
less , and one which we believe tl
Republicans would never have e
lorsed had they known of it bef 0 :
ihe convention and one which v
lope it is not yet too late to reco
iiderand correct. We are one of thos
itrong party men who believe th ;
; he judgment of a convention is bett (
: han the judgment of any individu ;
vithin the party , but when a circun
tance happens after a nomination :
nade , as in this case , which clearl
adicates that something is wronj
he members of the party are no mor
ound by the nomination than the
rould be if the candidate shoul
ommit robbery or embezzlement be
ween the time of the nomination am
ae election , and they owe it to thei
arty to rebuke an official who dare
Dnsult his own personal preference
ither than the interests of the pee
le , and to ask him to remedy thi
atter. Wilber Republican.

Apple peddlers are abroad.
Will Enfield has rented Paul Egger' :

Everybody on the Ridge is thresh-

so if it was.
t. C : A friend has/told us that in
ir items of July 31st , where you say
thou critic" etc. , you had refer-
e to P. R. because , we spoke of
immar ; but that reference was
mt our own imperfect grammar ,
had made three mistakes , that
; k , and they were corrected by the
tor. It takes a person of more
wledge than your humble servant
sesses to set themselves up for a
: ic. But the last part of that sen-
ce puzzles me. If your grammar
lain on the shelf seventy-five or
tity years , pray how old were you
sn you studied grammar , how old
you now , or are you the Wander-
Jew. Some say you are a preach-
but I don't believe a preacher '
Id have his mind on the good
igs of this world like you have ;
way , that poetry was fine , but not ;

study these questions honestly and
conservatively , understand the issues
before you try to present them on the
"street corners , and then if your neigh

you have at least given honest
thought over these matters and give
you credit for it.

The joke is on the minister this

erings and he was not present at

nor any one's else ; the rainy weather
upset the business.

ill for the benefit of those who re-
lained at home and kept this great
all rolling.
Two cripples on the list. Last Fri
day , Roy Styker ( or "Knocker" , as h
is more familiarly known in thi
age of progress ) grew wear3' of cu1
ting fodder in the usual way so re
versed the order and began slashin :
behind himself : result , a slight gas !
behind the knee. Charles Simmer
man was trying to stop the wagoi
wheel with his foot , so he says ; re
suit , a swolen ankle. Correct , boj-s
"If at first you don't succeed , try , tr
again" . Perhaps next time the resui
will be serious.
There was a gathering of friends
at the pleasant home of H. K. Bixle :
