When n man is found guilty of an
offense and is not able to pay his fine, it
is usual to say that he is "laying" out his
fine in the jail. It would be better all
around if the word "laying" or "board

the word "working." and the proceeds go
to the support of his family, after his
own exjense to the public has been paid.

account of the accidental shooting of

while out hunting rabbits. He had a

when the gun was discharged. The shot
took effect in one hand and the lower
most part of the abdomen, and it was a
wonder he was not killed outright. He
had shot a rabbit and was using the butt
of the gun to either kill it or pull it
towards him. The doctors are looking

Bob Burdette is said to Ie the author
of this: "The good things in this world

gallon of old brandy costs more than a
barrel of riotir: a full hand in poker often
costs a man more in twenty seconds than
his church subscriptions amount to in
three years. A town election costs more
than a revival of religion; people sleep
for an hour in church free, but a nap on
a Pullman car costs $!.." to $2."

The JorRXAL might many a tale unfold
of what was done m the by-ways, the

forces this fall, that wouldn't look well

things and believe them, that is no
reason why we should charge the fusion
forces generally with designs upon the
people's will as expressed by their ballot.
Th great lxniy of the people are fair.
In a letter from A. M. Jennings
dated at Fitzgerald. Georgia. Dec. 1?. to
a fri-nd in thcity, we learn that Robert
Compton has ten acres of land a half
mile north of the city; that the weather
is al1 that could be wished lots of roses
in bloom, also a good many other kinds
of tlowers. a few strawlerries are ripe;
he is setting out a few each of peach,
pear, plum, fig and umbrella trees, the
latter "the finest shade tree in existence."
Of course, a letter from Jennings would
hardly sound natural unless he had
some politics mixed in with it some
where. We don't notice that in this
regard he has improved any since he
left here.
W. D. Acor. known to many of our
Platte county readers, he having traveled
through the county selling a liniment,
was arrested last week at Fremont and
taken to Omaha by U. S. Marshal Allen,
to answer the charge of having violated
the postal laws by sending a postal card
through the Fremont postoffice to H. D.
Blakeslee. construed by the department
as rerlecting upon the character of
Blakeslee. The two men had been in
business together, and Acor wrote asking
a settlement, and the language was such
that it was construed as conveying the
implication that Blakeslee was a thief.
Acor says that he had no such intention,
but was probably nnfortnnate in the
construction of his language. So says
the Fremont Tribune.
There are two ways of killing a thing
-one is to kill it outright: the other is
to worry it to death by degrees. Some
people are not endowed with capacity to
see that there are certain things that are
not killable. In other words, that what
you seem to destroy, grows by your
destruction of it: is under a law above
your comprehension. Tee Jocenai. res
pectfully submits this paradox to the
political gamblers here and elsewhere,
who have been juggling with public
affairs, to win after the same fashion as
they would with loaded dice in a sup
posed game of chance. We do not know
a single game of cards, but we have
heard so much about bluffing that we
judge it to be a very apt term to apply to
the fellows who are now engaged in an
endeavor to manufacture public opinion,
in a rain endeavor to hide their recent
manipulations of the ballots of the peo
ple. Bluffing will not win. and it may
be as well for them to understand it, first
as last. Even in gambling, you should
play according to the roles of the game.
The Election Contest.
It is well known, of course, to those
JornsAL readers who take anyinterest
at all in public (official) matters, that
three republican candidates in the late
county campaign, viz: J. K. Kilian for
county judge. E. Pohl for clerk and P.
H. Bender for sheriff, were found by the
board of canvassers, (who simply looked
over the returns made by the various
jndges and clerks of election and tabu
lated what was certified up to be near
est the goal of election.
From what was known of the support
they received from the party opposition,
it was plainly evident to party workers
that there was something wrong, some
where along the line.
Legal proceedings were instituted in
contest by Messrs. Pohl and Bender, and
during the past week, at various times,
the counting of the original ballots has
been made by Judge Kilian of the county
court and the attorneys in the case rep
resenting Pohl and Bender of one side
and Phillips and Byrnes of the other.
The ballots as recounted, so far. with
the first and second wards of Columbus,
Creston. Grand Prairie and Monroe not
recounted, give a majority of 2 for Pohl
and of l." for Bender.
It must be remembered that the entire
ground for contest was covered in the
pleadings, the attorneys for Pohl and
Bender setting forth in legal language
the reasons for contesting, and virtually
why a recount of the ballots should be
had, the opposing attorneys making a
general denial, and yet asking that the
hallots be counted in the townships of
Walker. Bismark, Sherman, Grand Prai
rie. Granville, Johet, Humphrey. Bur
rows and Shell Creek. Incidentally, we
wish to call the particular attention of
Jouknal readers to the last statement
alove. as it may throw light on certain
phases of the case lefore it is ended.)
At the leginning of the hearing, a
motion was made by attorneys for Phil
lips and Byrnes against the admissa
bility of the ballots as evidence, but it
was thought advisable by the court to
defer the argument until later, and so
the question was taken up at Monday
afternoon's Session, and resumed Tues
day morning, the judge reserviug his
decision until Wednesday morning, on
the admissibility of the ballots.
The form of ballot is the worst we have
ever had. to confuse the average voter;
there was room for mistakes: room for
blundering, and also room for what is
called "sleek work."
We are told that in a county adjoining
Platte the fusion forces were directed by
party workers to vote straight tickets by
marking under the rooster, under the
house or under the bell; and their
judges were advised to count and tally
such, straight down, paying no attention
to crosses that might be made opposite
the names of individual republicans on
the blanket ballot.
If this same plan has been followed in
this county, it would give about such
results as are seen.
If judges have been thus advised they
should not hesitate to tell the truth
about it. "An honest confession is good
for the soul." A man can easily be mis
taken in his judgment, but criminal
knowledge involves a bad intent going
along with a bad deed. Don't let the
"sleek" fellow scare you into telling a
falsehood.
We believe that no expense should le
spared to probe this matter to the bot
tom. Let us see to it that our ballots are
counted as they are deposited, and the
proper returns made.

erty" in all the senses in which that

How the Democratic Organ Views
the Content.
The wholesale frauds at the recent I
election exposed by the contest proceed
ings of the past couple days, shows that j
there was a well-organized conspiracy to (
defeat the will of the people, and that it ,
would have been successfully carried out ,
had no contest been instituted. The
ontrageous falsification of the returns
in a number of townships is astounding
to the law-abiding citizen, and tne senti
ment of the people, so far as we have
heard it expressed, is that the guilty
parties who ever they may prove to be
should be sought out. and. if possible,
sent to the penitentiary. Columbus
