The New POLITICAL QUESTIONS
The Republican committee of Bu-
/ reau county, Illinois, have issued an
address, in making the call for the
| annual county convention, in which
they allude to the new questions
concerning railway and other mon
eyed corporations now agitating
the public mind, and say: "That
party which so beneficently bestow-
ed homesteads upon the poor of our
| country must and will protect them
| against any power that would lay
them under tribute, or rob them of
the fruits of their honest toll.
That party which had its origin in
opposition to tyranny, oppression
and wrong, and to which the masses
have never appealed in vain for re-
dress of their grievances, is equal
to the present emergency; and il
will need no new departure from
its usual course to place it in oppo-
sition to the encroachments of rail-
| way corporations and all other mon
oplies which now Cypress our peo-
pie. 1t should not be forgotten
by the people of Bureau county,
and especially not by the Republi-
cans OF the county, that although
there has been no organized party
action by either of the existing po-
litical parties in this county, yet,
for long time past, the weight and
influence of the Republican party of
the county has been arrayed on the
side of anti-mouopoly ideas, and
our representation in the law-mak-
ing department of the State has
been uniformly taken from among
practical agriculturists.
The radical provisions OF our
present State Constitution, looking
to the regulation of the railways Of
the State, as also the legislation of
the last two General Assemblies,
are some of the results thus far
accomplished. That such has been
the policy of the party no one can
question. Let us not then turn
back upon our record, Eor fail to
grapple with the great wrongs of
the present times; bnt march
straight forward to the consumma-
ton of the great work already COM
menced."

STRAYS.

many of your readers who have nc
means of of knowing the
law in regard to strays, and as
many of them are interested in it,
with your permission I will give a
concise statement of it.
No person is allowed to take up
any unbroken animal between the
first day of April and the
first day of November, unless the
same be found in his lawful en-
closure; that is, on ones premises
enclosed with a lawful fence.
There is, however, an exception
to this rule, and that is when an
animal liable to be taken up comes
upon the premises of another and
he fails to keep it up for more
than ten days after being notified
of the fact, then any other citizen
of the county may take it up, the
the same as if it had been taken up
on his own premises.
A bull over year old, or boar
three months old, if found run
ming at large, may at any season
of the year be taken up as an
estray. Also a stag if found
running at large between the first
day of May and the first day of
August.
No person, unless he be citi.
zen and householder, is authorized
to take up a stray, and then
he must enter into bonds
before n Justice of the Peace,
with sufficient surety, for the
use of the owner. But
this bond need not be entered in
to until the animal has been post
ed. This is the construction given
to the statute by our Supreme
Court.
Immediately after the stray has
been taken up, the same should be
advertised by posting up three
printed or written notices in as
many public places in the town
ship in which the animal is taken
up, giving complete description
of it, and stating the day and
township in which it was taken up.
At.the expiration of ten days
after the advertising, if the stray
has not been claimed and proved,
the taker-up must go before some
Justice of the Peace of the coun-
ty mot necessarily IN the town
ship in which the stray was taken
up) and file his affidavit giving
the facts of the taking up, execute
his bond and have the stray ap-
praised by two or three house
holders. The Justice then deliv-
ers certified copy of his record
to the taker up, who within fifteen
days must deliver it to the county
clerk for record.
Any person who has taken up u
stray may use it with care and
moderation.
The owner of such stray may at
any time within twelve months
from its taking up prove by evil
dence before some Justice of the
Peace, that the stray is his. The
taker up, however, must have no.
tice of tile time and place of such
TRIAL. At the time of trial, if the
parties cannot agree as to amount
of costs and expenses incurred in
taking up and keeping the stray,
such Justice must determine it
At the expiration of Il year, if the
stray has not been proved up by the
owner, the title to it rests in the
, taker up, but he must pay into the
county treasury one-half of its
appraised value, after deducting
the costs of taking up and post
ing. G.. b. BACHELLER.

The Okaloosa Independent hits
the nail on the head in its defini-
ton of the conflict, as follows:
THE people are now waging
war on
High taxes,
Salary grabs,
Useless offices,
Political intrigue,
Unjust monopolies,
EXorbitant salaries,
Legislative villainy,
Corruption in office,
Bribery and briberS
Legislative lobbying,
Wire-working trickery,
Rings and ring leaders, ~
Oppressive corporations,
Frauds and defalcations,
Old political hacks en- masse,
Railroad abuses of ali kinds,
Extortionate rates of freight,
Legislators who sell their votes,
Capital as arrayed against labor,
Frauds and speculations in gen
eral.
The contest is not with govern.
ments, or with capital, or with
corporations, but with the wrong:
or abuses carried on or permitted
| by these. Governments are nee
essaFy, capital is necessary, cor
porations are necessary, but they
should be strictly confined to thei
legitimate duties and spheres o
action, and not permitted to be
