During the campaign the editor oi this paper was cussed and damned IE great shape for saying that Trow bridge intended to resign his position as commissioner from the west dis trict and was afraid to allow his con stituents to name his successor , bu1 nevertheless his resignation was senl in a week or two ago The fact was kept very quiet , but vesterday the county clerk , treasurer and judge niel and appointed his successor. The first two are republicans , and did nol notify the judge of their intentior until a few minutes before time tc meet. Well , they met. and two pe titions were presented , one asking that L.Lauferof Irwin , be appointed and one asking for R. Hanchette , o : Lavaca. The majority hummed anc hawed , so the mmqrity , Judge Towne moved that Laufer le appointed Needless to ss.y , his motion wai turned down and Hanchette was ap pointed on the ground that his peti tion had the most signatures on it Oh , Lord ! It wouldn't have made an ] difference , but Thackrey wanted ai excuse for turning down his ol < neighbor , and that was all he couk think of. Hanchette suits us. and hii ambition for office is now satisfiedbui we wonder what the people of tht west end think of Trowbridge' ? He knew he would never attend a meet ing of the county board after lasi October , but rather than let his con stituents.the people who had honoret him , choose his successor , he dele gated that grave duty to the poli ticians who control the republicat party in the countv teat. Pernap ; some day our misguided brethren ii the west will learn a thing or twoam , then we'll see wiiut we'll . The Grip. "Grip" time is about here , and ii this connection it might be well tx state that among "the boys" a bu dose of whiske3' and quinine is lookec upon as a sovereign remed\r. A suj : fererfioni the malad\r. while brood ing over his troubles last winter , in dited the following touching poem ir the editor's sanctum : To drink , or not to drink ; that is the question Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer The pangs and tortures of the all prevailing gnj Or to take a bottle against a peck of trouble And by drinking end it ? To drink , to seep : ; To drink ; and by that drinking say we end The backache , headache , legache , and the then sand aches mid pains That lleFh is heir to wheu it has the grip ls : i rcMiIt devoutly to be wished. To sip , to dt ink ; Perchance become inebriated ; aye , there's tlit rub ; For in that Bleep of wine what dreams may come When \ve have slmflled off our normal sense Must give us pause ; there's the thing That makes us hesitate between tiie grip ant whiskey. Who would bear the aches and pains of la grippe But the dread of scorching tongues , evasive glance , And all the signs by which the. common herd Kxpress their disapproval of a drunken man' And makes us rather bear the ills ot flesh Than lly to those which will destroy our repu tiition. Thus fear of ridicule makes cowards of us all And onvt waddle with the grip When one big drunk would curd us. Anti-Saloon League Meeting.
