MALICIOUS PROSECUTIONS.

The Woodson County Post con-
tains an able and pertinent article
ON Malicious Prosecutions as q
cause of high taxes. 1t is of such
general interest, and the abuse it
denounces is SO prevalent, that
notwithstanding its length we
copy the article entire. The Post
says:
''Not q term of court passes but
some part of the county must
furnish it's ncighborllood quarrel
for adjudiction, having first had a
hearing before some Justice of the
Peace from whose decision one OF
the parties has appealed to the
higher tribunal. In all cases where
the State is q party ana fails to
convict, the county has the costs
to pay unless the jury find the
complaint to be malicious and
without probable cause-and jul
ries seldom do this. During the
past year the costs in such cases
have not been less than $1,000
without taking into account the
loss of time by the court and the
annoyance to people who are not
interested There is always some
man in ncighborhood who would
like chance to put some neighbor
to trouble and expense, providing
he can do so with no cost or dan
| ger TO himself and finds the sa-
fest way to arraign him before the
people in the courts. He has an
idea that even should his neigh
Dor be acquitted, he will have hui
inflated him to such an extent
that he will feel like leaving the
country, and Will be looked upon
by the entire community as one,
who, to say the least, has fallen
under the faint of suspicion. A
man in a fit of anger or with de
liherate malice, rushes to the near
est justice, makes his complaint IN
due form, and has q warrant is
sued. Then the neighbors all
come up, on invitation of the con
| ~ flCsLI ItlC l3ANt
there is no help for it, because his
invitations are so urgent that no
one feels Mt liberty to decline. Az
ter all the cry, the State fails to
convict, and men find they have
been taken from their business to
listen to a case founded in spite,
reared in malice, and amounting
to nothing. The costs are taxed
to the complaining witness, and
there the case ends. In such 4
case as this the magistrate should
mot only tax the costs to the COM
planning witness but should com
NIT him until they are paid. It is
strange what a great number oil
cases go to the district court on
appeal from justices, only to be
thrown out and the costs taxed to
the county. They get in, have
two or three trials, juries are sum
moned, witnesses subpenaed, mems
patience all worn out, piles ofcosts
incurred, and the county foots tho
bill. There are a great many ca
ses of this kind, and some means
should be devised to prevent it
and that right speedily.
If our statutes empowered 6
magistrate, when a man came tx
him in a rage with q complaint, tt
: delay all proceedings for a couple
of days or weeks, as the nature o
, the case might require, until thu
!, complainant has time to thini
: over, much OF this kind of litiga
ton might be avoided, and quite 1
i burden taken from off the tax
payers"

Question-Why do Friends dis
card singing in their worship?
Answer-Early Friends, in exam
lining texts of scripture on this SUBJ

melody in the heart, bnt Friends
have never condemned In worship

against it.

tai in the United States, but so
long as this clamor against pro
lection is kept up the men who
own it are cautious about invest
ing it in costlS works, which the
adoption Of the free trade policy
would render valueless. Well,
what is the consequence Why,
simply this: that we lose much of
the advantage of home competi-
ton among American manufacture
ers. Those already in existence
make larger profits because they
hare .feacey competitors. Thus the
hue and cry against protection in
Kansas and other western States
is putting money into the pockets
of the manufacturers of New Eng
land and the iron men of PennsyI-
yanla, because it keeps many other
parties from going into competi-
ton with them. The farmers of
Kansas and Iowa are suffering
from this nonsense, not the estab-
hshed manufacturers of the East.
Is it profitable to them?
In a recent publication l called
the attention of the people of
Kansas to the vast masses of rich
iron ore and the extensive depos-
its of coal found near the Arkan-
sas river, where it issues from the
of Colorado, and point
ed to that region as a fine pros
pectiYe market for this State. But
is any man mad enough to suppose
that were the policy of protection
abandoned, single ton of that
iron could be manufactured in his
day?
1 know these are desultory
thoughts, but my object is simply
to set people to thinking whether
my notions are correct. / warn
farmers to beware of ranters and
of artful politicians
who, for the sake of their own
and notoriety, labor to
foment jealousy, discomfort and
division, and then fasten them
selves like vampires upon the most
class. Nothing is east
sr than to rant, and vapor and de-
lounce, to rail at manufa cturers,
'he protective policy, and especial
y at railroad monopolies, to pre-
end great solicitude for the farm
er, when in reality such men are
HE farmers worst enemies.

Tin has been met with hereto
fore in Australia, but the recent
discoveries indicate far richer de-
posits than any before known
there. The districts where the
metal is found is along the valley
of the Mcintyre river, on the high
plateau of the Australian Alps.
The oar occurs, as usual, in gran
tie, and so disseminated as to form
q kind of stock-work. The over
lying surface deposits contain
large quantities of oxide of tin,
and it is probable that very large
amount of ore will be obtained
from the diggings or washings.
In q series of trials recently made,
twety pounds of detritous were
found to yield from three ounces
to two pounds of ore. The tin
bearing belt is known to extend
more than $50 miles in length, so
that these new mines may in time
become quite as productive as
those of Banca or Cornwall.

IOWA RAILROADS HARD UP.

The Dubuqme Times gives rath-
er doleful picture of the con-
dition of many of the railroads
in Iowa The Des Moines Valley
road has been sold because it
could not pay the interest on its
bonds, the capital stock having
long been yalueless. The Central
Railroad Is fast approaching the
same condition, two payments of
interest GU its bonds having been
passed. The Dubuque Southwest
ern, although bonded at only $IO,-
900 per mile, is unable to pay its
taxes, and has consumed its sur
plus of last year in paying interest
on its bonds. The Iowa division
of the Illinois Central reported its
expenses last year as $40, 700 more
than its receipts, and its gross earn
ings at only $1,S37.12 per mile.
The Davenport IL st. Paul Rail
road reports gross earnings of on
" $S37.71 per mile, and, with its
increased length, will not for some
time pay its taxes and the coupons
on its bonds. Even the Souix
City and Pacific, with IT'S govern
ment subsidy in bonds and lands,
has not, we understand, paid a dol
lar of dividend to its stockholders.
The fact is, that railroad build
ing In some of our Western States
has been pushed far beyond the
demands of business, and the
roads must be run at loss for
years to. come, unless cheaper rates
over the great trunk roads give a
chance for the surplus products of
the country to be moved. Had
the immense corn crop of last year
in Iowa been marketed instead of
being burned, as much of it was,
it would have given her railroads
more to do.-Lawrence Journal.
