If it was offered because of a failure to comply with some contract, either legal or illegal, it was an honest trick to tender its return. Why was it not accepted? Presumably it was an honest transaction, because we don’t suppose there are any skunks in this end of the county. Prof. Berkey is an exceptionally good man and | performed his official duties well. He deserves much credit for the honest and efficient administration of his official Tie only thing against him is that it is his third term, which he cannot help. Itis, however, too long to retain office when there are so many other good, capable, honest and deserving men who would like to get some help from the public funds. No doubt many need it deserve it.
