THE DAILY DEMOCRAT. TUE PRINCIPLE IS THE SAME. PARTY DUTY. The time It coming on apace when the party managen of the county will take the preliminary strpt for calling party con vendor to nominate candidates for the varloui county officers. While the matter of making such nomination! docs not at tract the serious attention of a great many Voters, yet it 19 a subject in which all citi zens and taxpayers should take Jeep con cern. It is a matter of grave Impoitance that local affairs should bo carefully ad ministered. County affairs more nearly concern us than national or state affairs. Competency and honssty are qualifications that should be possessed by every county ollicitl. To the democrats, then, we feel constrained to say, that they should exer cise unusal care ix the selections of can didates. Fitness for the office will be de manded by the people before they will consent to support a candidate. The vest pocket voters, so far as county ofncia'.s are concerned, are increasing in numbers rap Idly from year to year and it behooves ' democrats to keep an alert eye on the best interest of the people. The party In times past has proven itself to be the party of the people. Foryears it has presented a solid front acainst the tyiannous exactio.is and encroachments of monopolistic power. It has stood as a solid phalanx for the pro motion and perpetuation of the doctilne of the greatest good for the greatest number ,thnt ours is a government in which e. Conors in the public expense should be rip i. I adhered to. Let it be understood -that public office is a public trust to be ad ministered In the interest of and for the benefit of the people. Then let candidates be nominated who in all respects fill up the measure of these requirements and their calling and election will be made sure. To secure the nomination of such candi dates It will only be necessary for the denv Ocrats of each precinct to elect for dele. gates men who are well known for their Integrity and good judgement, democrats who are not pledged to 6ecure the nomi nation, of some particular candidate a- against the wishes of the people. Fair dealing and good faith should character ize party management from the call for primaries to the close of the polls. The party would thus place itself on so eleva ted a plane as to com mand the respect of both friends and political opponents. A party to secure the popular approval of people must show Itself worthy of it. It would conduce largely to the benefit of the party and the candidates which the party's Convention shall name, were the voters in each precinct to get together In primary meeting and elect unpledged delegates, men of integrity, men who thir.k the In terest of the public are paramount to the interest of any candidate, and then let these delegates meet In county convention and nominate a ticket for the whole people, being governed In the selection by the Jef fersonian test of "Ishehonest?" "Ishecom. Detent?" Such a course will lead to an old time complete victory . A Kansas farmer sold a beef animal to a butcher for a cents a pound, and agreed to take a quarter ef it for his own use. The butcher charged him regular rates for the beef, and when a settlement was had the fanner was found indebted to him in the sum of $2. Thi' was not caused by the Republican party and the "robber tariff." Mountaineer. The principle is however much the same. The laboring man who is a consumer and not a pro ducer has been told for these many years that the tariff is imposed on foreign importa tions in order to render nugatory the foreign competition to his employer in order that such employer might give him higher wages for his labor. This laborer watches the processes of this tariff scheme and his study of t'.e matter leads to this conclusion: "In consequence of the protective laritY I have to pay a higher price for everything I use. When I make a contract with my employer he fgives me just such wages as he finjs he is compelled to give under the law of supply and demand, and if I w ill not work as cheaply as he wants me to then he will employ cheap foreign labor. So I find so far as I am concerned that a protec tive tariff is a delusion and a snare," Our contemporary is unfortunate in his conipari sons. Some of the conclusions of science would indeed be appalling but for 'heir practical harm. lessness. Thus, the geologists asserts that if the continents and the bottom of the ocean were graded down to a uniform level,the whole world would be covered with water a mile deep, so much greater is the depression of the ocean bed than the elevation of the existing land. An important session of the Farmers Insti tute was lately held at Toronto, Canada. One of the questions discussed was that of free corn from the United States. It was contended by a number of the members that corn cannot be raised at a profit, and it is cheaper to import American corn, A motfon advocating "free corn" was carried. Report of the Kansas State board of agri t ilture fur quarter ending Dec 31. 1SSS9, says the population of Kansas a returned by the assessor is 1,464,914, a decrease of 53.638, or i'2 per cent compared with iSSS. The art of tanning skunk skins so as to eradi cate the offensive odor with which it is per meated is not known in America, and conse quently all skunk skins after being cured are sent abroad to be tanned. In Fomona, Cal., over 1 5,000 acres will be planted this season to sugar beets. Experi ment hat shown that the soil is adapted to the beet.
