By thoir fruits ye shall know them." We have at the present time in this county a.clique of men who are candidatesfor various coun ty offices, and a few persons who are supporting these candidates. No^v Mr. Editor, this* clique Of office seekers, .and -th$^% small crowd, of supporters are beggfng to be elected to the various offices to which they aspire, mainly on the ground that they are the candidates of the far mers' convention, and that they are the fast and firm friends of the far mer. Who are these men, and by what acts have they demonstrated tlieir great friendship for the far mers of this county Chief among these candidates and their support ers are J. R. Buxton, S. H. Snyder, and the Taylors, Sam and Ben. Some time ago there was a commis sion appointed to award damages to the various farmers across whose lands the Fargo & Southern railroad was built. On -that commission were Mr. Taylor and Mr. Snyder, and Mr. Buxton appeared as attorney 'for the occa sion. Whemdhese men came to award damaj^Ko the poor farmers of this coun^p what did they do Instead of awarding, to the farmers a just compensation for the damage sustained, they, elated by 1 distinction of being commissioners, at once he servile tools of the rich company and awarded the er less than one half the he bad actually sustained, every instance where the had the means to appeal their unjust and partial an impartial jury of the county gave them double the amount that these commissioners had al lowed them. And yet these same men go about crying, "ring!" "ring!" and boastfully proclaiming themselves the especial champion of the farmen'rights. Outupon such shallow hypocrisy! Here was an apportunity to do at least justice tollie farmer. To ex hibit the sincerity of their profes sions. They jtook tho part of the railroad company in the beginning and compelled every poor farmer to undergo the expense and delay of a lawsuit, or accept 'their beggarly flWAl^Cla' This is no electioneering '.«roor. back." The r&ords of the District Court of this county will verify every word hereio contained. And now these same men have the con summate "gall" to go before the cit izens and tax payers whose rights they trampled upon when vested with a little authority, and ask for their vofcw election day on the ground- th^ they are the simon puTeTonfy. gffauiite frM^^mf tlM farmer.

A. G. A. The School Law. To the Editor or.The Times: In an article in the week before last on the township and school Jaw, the writer says there seems-giaJie considerable dissatisfactio the school town system seemed to be ab)e.tQ^}$MI|B!$* ob jection. Now Ij|m^Qne q^^hom I think the^ count^MMpHlira legal maj(^ife'Who think the .law an un jusWAu unsatisfactory one, and I will endeavor to state our ojections. The law will never give general sat isfaction in a country as sparsely settled as Dakota is at present. Any one who has traveled in Dakota knows that the country is not uni formly settled, as in some places. Each alternate section is railroad land, and the government land has been proved up on by young men who arc non-residents, leaving large tracts of country without a settler, while in other places it is quite thickly settled. Under the district system, districts can be organized and school houses built without re gard to town lines to suit the loca tion, but under the new law in sev eral instances town (ines divided these settlements requiring the building Of two school houses where diie would havefenswered the same purpose. And another objection: there is too much power vested in the board to the exclusion of the wishes and rights of the people! and stitl another decided objection: at the annual district meeting of each district lii the town, no one is al* owed a voice in 'its. deliberations ut as ajMtfent or guardian of chil dren of ecbool age. You might own One half of the property in the dis trict that is taxed for the support of the school, and yet if you are so un fortunate {or fortunate fa the cast may be) as to not be ihe parent or guardian of chiMren of school agfev yon are not allowed a voice or voto ,. noaeedings^ Jt ^miy be a jui snmoe«ii»fit tofepa te these Dakota ptiiiries, trat that is the only redeeming fmtow there lain it.

Atid whjit is tiie re 9blt It is true wei hav e|doublc the liamber of scbooUl^iisesldouble the number of teachers to piy, arid per haps a little, more attendance, but not near as large in proportion to the school houses s» we would have under the districteyatem.

Yet this is the line of argument that is used against the reflection of one of the most efficient of our cottnty oflcfad«|j||f a letter to the Gazette a correepon tteat use^ a series of weak, absurd soplristries against the re-election of the present register of deeds. First he reproaches Mr. Ruggle* with having received the emoluments of the office, which must amount to about sixteen thousand dollars. Now, either Mr. Ruggles has per formed adequate labor for these emoluments, and is morally and le gally entitled to them or they are exorbitant and should be reduced. «it on the ground that one has joyed exorbitant emoluments of an offlce, to award the same oppor tunity to some one else, is simply to legalize a robbery of the public by a division of the plunder. While it is true that a claim to offlce by birth right, oug]it not and will not be countenanced in a republican gov ernment, Mr, Ruggles1 claim is by tested ability and competence. sory education, but how many school officers are chere thiit will en force that provision of the law. I hope that our representatives from Richland county jwili endeavor to ascertain the views of their constit uents on this subject and USB all honorable means in their power to effect a repeal of the law at the coming session^ tlielegislatiire.
