When a man receives -at Ms home paper ut of the postofflce, he should not put it back all marked up with the word refused.

This spoils the paper and renders it unfit for a sample copy wnicn we are, at present, a little snort iu. is ut take it out unu read it ov er (if you area reading man) and if you don't like the "color or its hair." bring it to the office and tell the editor so and that yon do not wish your name araggea down so low as to be written on such an obscure sheet; that he is a fool, an idiot, a tit subject for the lunatic asv lum and that you do not wish your fam ily to get in the 9ame condition irora read ing the paper: that the publication is a disgrace to the community, and that the editor is a bigger disgrace than his pub licatlon; that be is a regular fool, idiot, and should bo under the ground breaking rock instead of insulting an unsuspecting and confiding public by springing such a dirty sheet upon them. All this makes him feel happy and at home. On the other hand, if you like his paper likewise go to the printing ofllce, and tell him you want your name on the roll; tliat the community might feel pr.md of boih him and his publication: that he will some time goto congress, i.h him success, and last but not least, quietly put a dol lar in his hand in payment for a year's subscription. It has often come to our ears since we have been in Phillipsburg.

that McNay, oi the Dispatch, was not fair and honest in dealing with questions through his pa per, and also that he belonged to the but as we had never discussed anything that would lead us to believe that those charges we-e true, we wei edis posed to look upon the statement as an attack, perhaps, without foundation, by his enemies. But since reading his report of the investigation of the census re turns, by the commissioners, of which the Politician was the sole champion of the people, and never let up till the investigation was made, we are inclined to the belief that Mack's dishonesty is only paralleled by his cowardice. We went to McNay some two weeks ago and showed him the discrepancies in the census returns in the hope of enlist ing his support in behalf of the people in getting the investigation, but Mack was too cowardly to tackle it, or he thought his interest was paramount to that of the people and could not afford to sacrifice the former for the latter. A Now, with the cheek of a government jack ass. he comes out this week giving the result of the commissioner's investigation and never says a word about how come the investigation to be made.

He is afraid that we might take the credit that is justly due us and he receive the condemnation of the people which is due him for his cowardice and lack of activi ity in championing the cause of the people as against his own selfish greed. Mack has always claimed to be anan-ti'Hngster, but the facts condemn him a preverlcator and a wolf in sheep's clothing. Oh! consistency, thou art a "yaller" bull pup. Notice For Publication.

P. Franklin-, Pastor WE WERE CORRECT! Ex-County Clerk Hart-man's Poor Mathematics. As Shown by the correct Footing up of the Census Returns of 1888 and 1890. Tallej One Fop, Ity flnti- Injg Qrpti1- The Pi3i-r3pancie The County oininiKsioners met last Wednesday ami transacted same special busipees and while-in session concluded to look up the census returns to see whether or not the Politician had any grounds for its declarations that the returns had been 'stuffed'' in order to increase the salaries of the clerk, treasurer and attorney. Their investigation shows that tho census returns are nil right, but that Mr.

Hartman's mathematics was so poor as lo cause a mistake in the footings of nearly every township, all in favor of increasing the census ar.d fij salary. The "stuffing" commrtffrrii 1888 and was repealed in 18S0, causing the illegal drawing out of the treasury of nearly $3000. An offhanded estimate divides the es-eessive salaries up as follows; County Treasurer Bracken $1800. County Clerk Hartman between fSOOand 8900, Attorney Shearer $200. In addition to this amount which must be refunded to the county, will save $1500 per year on the treasurers salary, 500 per year on the Clerk's salary aud $200 per year on the attorney's salary.

The salary of the County treasurer is based upon the census of 1888, which will give Mr. CP. Barber at the rate of 150J per annum for the Unexpired Nipps term. His term, commencing next October, Id based upon the census of 18S0, which show that the county only has a little over 13000 population. In consequence of the iow salary Mr.

Barber will be allowed to draw, he is thinking of resigning. In this cenrection. it might L'e proper to state that Hon. John Bissell. of tbU city is the dady of the bill which fixes the present salaries.

We might also add by way of information to our readers, that Mr. Hartffian'a bor.dsnren are still holding to the county for lire otlicial acts, aud no doubt, steps will at once be taken to cause, the mouer illegally drawn to be paid bm into th ireasiH-y The saving to the County at the April i-ession of the board will he ami during the year of 1890, $2200 -enough to build several small bridges. The County Commissioners Vueel th 7th of April to transact the'r regularly quarterly business, at. which time, we presume, they will take xiefi nito actiOtt nouiung 10 trie recovery oi money tile--ially drawn from the treasury r.f th county. In justice to the other officials wo de-ire to say that so far there la nothiug to indicate that thev had anvl hins? to An irt the altering of the returns.

There is a general and persistent de mand for free trade in the west, and th tariff question will ho doulM, be one cf the important issues next campaign The Alliance ia gradually coiuiz hitii politics every day. By 1892 it will nc5 doubt be one of the strongest political parties ever known in history. It is reported that the Chiunewa ImlU ans in North Dakota are iu a bad condU tion About 2000 are living on 5000 acres of ground with poorly clad houses-, Their destitute condition is the result of a failure of crops in that locality.

It is 100 starved to death during January, ami several more during February au Marcn. Why should the appropriation bill read "so much as is necessary," aud not name a stated sum 1 We may never ba able to know how much was necessary. and this is just what Qu ly and his foW lowers want, riiev want to hu aula to sesure all the boodle necessary to carry the next electiou, aud keep from detect tion the perpetration of fraud uiid decep-. lion, oy such unconstitutional and un. pnrlimeutary acts.
