I i r utii ... ...... ....i i.u tln fax)nyerd t roin n county attorney who when cilli'il upon to ancwor the nri'umont! of attorneys Sullivan nnd Cornel iu.. declared thnt lie was "not piepurrd ' and nihorwlso ileortod iiiitiM'tf as n thhil attorney for the ncru-'il .nstead of the pooples nttor iicy, leavini' the defente of the county h interests in tint hnmU of Swausnn, Onct. ami Klcman. The defeno inturposed by Krimt ami Hon dor through their iittnrnoyH wn placed on three grounds. First, Thnt tho law limiting Mipnr vlois ralarlns to :!0o wan unconstl tutiouat liecatiM. it illd not repoal n certain previous law on the oubject. A purely constitutional question which tho board could have no possible right to pasH upon. .Second, Hint tho logal limit of :IOO applied only to sni.orvisiitg the pny niiitit nf money, nnd not to dintrict work. A position which is tlUputeil both hv statute and common H'nso. Third, Thnt the supprvlsorN hnving done tho work and obtained pay thore for, fhoro was nn implied contract with tho county to. do sntd extra work for oxtrn pav. A position which ignores the fact that the law fixes tho maximum price for tho work in ques tion nnd that no presumption nf law will imply n contract which diroctly violates an express ami specific con tract whose terms nro flxoil tiy statute. Judge Sullivan and Mr Cornelius made eloquent speeches extolling the virtues of men who did extra work for the county and nru determined to get extra pay thorefor whether it is legal r not tcit they forgot to extol the virtues it t,i )so other supervisors who have rn;:i: led the law and tholr oath of office and who have been nble to servo the r di-trlcts without overstep ping thuit legal limitations. And they forgot to say il.nt it is the privilege of a citizen to iiecline the nomination to tin office, tun work of which In oat of proportion to Hid legal snlary. Ami iuuiitoutally tl.. forgot to sny thoir clients had d u m ral days work in Lincoln during i i last legislature for which thov nn n t yet nsked the county to pay a.. 1 necnuso tho attor neys forgot to tiuih upon tho only real point at issue and becauso the county attorney vns "not proiMired," Mr. Swnnson arose to say:" You havn missed the only point there Ih in this issue. You tnlk us IT supervisors were on the same basis with common labor ers whose salaries nnd duties nro not fixed by law. Of conrsn if tho law did not say just whit onr duties nro and li a maximum salary, your argu ment would be nllricht. Hut since tho law does fi t.otli tho duties nnd sal aries nnd since these supervisors have done nothing outsiilo their duties fix ed by law, there is no sonso in yonr iiigumont " After this speeoh Judgo Sullivan re marked : "I see you fnil completely to comprehend my remarks. " Then Sup ervisor Coot, rose nnd said:" I stand just whore Mr. Swnnson does. Yon gentlemen have failed to explain the paint 1 want explained Wo have sworn to support the laws ns wo find them. It is not a question of whothor thoMi uifii have done extra work. All of us do extra work. It is a question of whether the lnw menus what it snvs when it savs wo ennnot rooeivo to exceed fciioo in nny ono ytar and thnt tho supervising of roads and bridges is a p.irt ot onr dnties. If you can show me thnt this law doesn't mean what it says. 1 shnll stand ready to permit these men to kcop the money. Hut if you nro right in your argument, then the laws limiting the salaries of pnbllo officers mean uoth iug It is this law I want yon to ex plain and vou have not touched upon that at all." Taxpayers of Platte county, this is no question of party politics. If oui county attorney is too weak-kneed to secure justice, nnd if no taxpayer wants to carry tho question to tho courts, your ouly remedy is at tlie polls. Will you con tinue to eloct men who lack oithor tho intelligence or the moral stamina to stand up ami protect yon from a prncticis which throw down the bars of justice to ail forms of extravagance ami malfeasance in office ; Son of Chris Pearsall Drowned.
