AFTER HrM.-The people of the new Judicial
District in Northwestern Kansas are making il
hot for Judge A. J. Banta, the Governors appoint.
ee; and they will probably shelve him, at the
Fall election. Banta not resident Of the
District, and received the appointment to an Of
fee created by himself. This pern:cious practice
was inangurated by Gov. Crawford, faithfully
followed by Gov. Harvey, and Is being adopted by
Gov. Osborn. Men have gone to the Legislature,
and spent almost their whole time in creating a
new Judicial District, or some ether fat Office,
and the Governors have appointed them to the
ofices-rewardng them for their efforts, appar-
emily in fulfiliment Of previous promise. The
election of Senators is by means the only pro-
ceeding where corruption prevails.

DEMOCRATIC TRouBLEs.-The Ohio Democrats
and Liberals are having q hard time of it. They
met In State Convention, last week; and the
new-fadgled chaps, being in majority, "played
roots" on the Old Liners They resolved that
the Democratic party was dessi and smelt badly,
and consequently vas powerless to effect any
change in the government Of the country. They
endorsed the Allen County movement, the Farm
ers' movement, and all other movements that
were likely to take strength from the Republican
party, and formally inaugurated q new conglom-
crate party, without a name, its main object be-
ing opposition to the Republican party. The De-
mocracy rebel against and repudiate the party
and the ticket nominated, and are going TO hold
an old fashioned Democratic Convention, to NOM
mate straight-out ticket. The result " i'll be,
whether there be one or two opposition tickets,
the Republicans will sweep the State, as usual.

STATE GRANGE-Ths State Grange of the Pat

II "Infdel" is the latest stunning charge
against Us, in the Republican. 1t is not just new
either. 1t WAS peddled through the northern part
of the County, last Fall, by hypocrite whom we
skinned alive--the same man who declared that
no matter how much they reviled him, he pro.
posed to go on building churches and serving his
Maker; but who has since tried to swindle con.
gregation ont of their church, and is now an out
cast and renegade from all churches.

Col. Mason, chief engineer Of the bridge, yes
tertiay afternoon completed q survey of the river
from the bridge 20 the rock bluff below Belle
mont, five miles sbeve, for the purpose of ascer-
tanning what-if any-further work in the river
will be necessary to guard against the possibility
of the big muddy ever cutting through the bot
tom between Elwood and wathens, opposite St.
Joseph.
Maps and plans will be prepared at once and
forwarded to the War Department for approval.
As soon rs the approval is obtained. it is probs-
BILE that . system of river protection somewhat
similar to that employed opposite the city,
though on q much smaller scale, will be adopted
and carried ont above the bend, though nothing
definite can be stated until the War Department
is heard from, that branch of the Government
having . general supervision over all river inl-
prOvements.
Those who have watched an studietl the Mis-
souri, river for years, give it their opinion that
all necessary protection can be afforded at COM
psritiyely small cost, aud for much less than
was at first anticipated. At all events our citi-
zens can posses themselves in peace, and retire
at night without harboring the fear that they
will awake and find themselves citizens of an
inland city.-St. Joseph Gazette, July %.
