tgCalling u at the Auditors oflce few DAYS
ago we observed large package of books
blanks, etc., from the Office of the Springfield
Republican establishment In Clark county. On
inquiry we were informed that they were order
ed by Mr.. Reynolds, Democratic Auditor elect
Of this county.
Now, perhaps II Is none Of our funeral. and we
ought not to cry, but when we remembered how
Eealously our neighbor of the Enquirer worked
for the election OF Mr.. Reynolds, and that the
probability is that he would not have been elect
ed If there had been no Democratic paper In the
county, we were surprised to find that his first
Official act was not TO favor and help build up
his own home organ Of his party, but
10 assist In building up the Republican organ of
Clark county Mr.. Bowen contributed more to
the election of Mr.. Reynolds and the Organza-
tion and success Of the Democratic party In this
county than did Mr.. Il. himself. PintOn Record
We can tell Mr.. Bowen and all other publ sh-
ers who are similarly treated how they can ap-
ply aremedy for the above grievance Let them
resolve that no officer who acts thus shall ever
agoln hold any office, from Auditor down to
school director That Is the true remedy. We
have applied IT, aud 1t works admirably,
II is frequently charged against President
Grant that he appoints to Office the men who
were his friends In his days of obscurlty and ad.
verslty, and that he appoints his relations aud
friends. We regard this as the noblest trait Of
character which he has exhibited. A man who
possesses no gratitude 10 o bad man. The
county officer who ls elected mainly through the
labou ofthe county editor, and who then gives
bis patronage toa Stranger, Is not only wanting
In gratitude. but In sense Of common justice.
Let the country press unite, regardless Of party,
to crush out all such men, and they eau accom-
plish IL. II Is right just and oxpedlent that II
should be done.

Ed Standard:
In the STANDARD Of April 22d, Mr.. Alesh ire
undertook to prove that the word wages, " In
the sentence "The wages of sin is death, I" is
singular Iaskcd him why his effort proved that
1t is singular in that instance, any more than
1t would In any other. He answered, in last
weeks STANDARD, by saying, that he aimed in
his quotation to show that the word when used
~ It's simplest sense, has q singular meaning.
He asesrts that 1t Is use in this case, and gives
his definition to prove it. by saying, 1t means
''the compensation Of sinls death"
He also gave few quotations to show that
some words are singular or plural in meaning
Fully illustrating the old maxim, "a drowning
man will catch at o straw"
Now to my mind, all of these garbled extracts
come far short of proving what he set out to do.

slders the word plural In the very sentence

that other good authors are in harmony with
him.
"When verb has nominative both before

think that the above Is sufficient to conv ince
any ordinary mind that the word "wagcs, 4"
(partlcuarly In the sentence referred to,) Is In

notice al Court this week that oil the officers
are quite young men. Judge, Sheriff, Clerk and
Prosecuting attorney, all quite young. A few
years ago II was different. | have only time to
refer to one who long held Office, and was re-
ga ded as almost fixture about the old Court
House. This was Joseph Armstrong. When
can first remember, he was Sheriff Of Jackson
county, and he continued to hold the Office du.
ring q long period Of time. Before he was
Sheriff, he had held several other offices.
Among them was that Of Director oithe Town
Of jackson, an Office, the duties OF which do
not now understand. Healso acted as collector,
an Office similar to that of Treasurer. So well
did he understand the business of collecting tax
cs, that neatly every Treasurer. whether Wklg
or Democrat, always employed old 10. Arm
strong TO collect unpaid taxes. He could collect
more tax money than any other man, and he
could do this without lncurrlng the Ill will Of
those from whom he collected, which was IL
very difficult aud delicate matter to effect He
continued 10 be travelling tax collector almost
up TO the time Of his death, which occurred only
a few years ago.
suppose that Armstrong was acquainted
with every man In jackson county, aud that
every man In the county was acquainted with
him. His business, as Sheriff, aud as collector,
took him TO every part of the county, ard where
night overlook him, he was at home. Many and
many night has he sta Id at my fathers house,
and wo were almost as glad to see the old Sher-

Sheriff Armstrong lived on farm, some two
IN lies eOuth Of tie town Of jackson, In the edge
Of Franklin township. He was In oflce nearly
all his life and large portion Of the public
money belonging to jackson county during a
period Of forty years, passed through his hands,
and yet he was poor man when he died. do
not suppose that man In jackson county ever
suspected the honesty of Joseph Armstrong.
During the latter years of his life Mr.. Arm.
strong became quite hard of hearing, which
made II dlsagrceable to converse with him. He
must have been near eighty years ofage when
no died, and with the exception of his deafness,
his bodily and mental powers remained unlm-
paired up to the time OF his death.
