A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.


We clip the following from the
Morrow Co. S entinel:
"That in the re. organization of the
Judiciary system under the proposed
new Constitution, such changes
should be made as experience has
proved to be necessary to insure the
speedy administration of the law and
of justice, with convenience and
economy to the people, and as will
avoid the defects, delays, continuan
ces and enormous expense in time
and money to the people.
"That to effect this object, there
should be established in each county
of the State, as is now the case in
Hamilton county, one or more
Courts of Record, to be called the
County Court of Common Pleas, to
be open at all times; to be holden by
one Judge, elected by the qualified
voters of the county, with sucl, ap
pellate and original jurisdiction in
civil and criminal cases, as is now
exercised by the Court of Common
Pleas.
"1'hat the County Court of Re
cord, known as tie Court of Probate
with jurisdiction in ha6eas co,pus, of
probate and administration, the issu-
ing and revocation of letters testa-
mentary, letters of administration
and guardianship, the settlement of
thp account of axpcutOrS administra
tors and guardians, should be abol
ished,, and the duties thereof, en-
Joined on the Court of Common
Pleas.
"That in counties having a popu-
lation exceeding $4,000, the General
Assembly may provide for the elec-
ton of seperate officer to perform
the duties Of the office of Probate

The Cleveland Herald has to say
concerning certain officials, in con-
'nection with the Congressional Sal
ary:
"Those pure patriots, Senators
Trumbull and Upton. whose horror
of corruption and extravaganza was
so great that they would not remain
in the Republican party, had no
scruples of conscience in voting them
selves five thousand dollars each in
addition to the pay for which they
agreed to serve their country. Sen
ator Sumner was not present, being
ill, and Senator Fenton. vino was al
so an apostle of purity during last
years campaign, is not recorded
among those voting. 1t is to the
credit of Ohio that both It's Sena-
tors voted against the proposition in
all it's forms and persisted to the end.

Last Wednesday. Secretary Bout
well was elected U. S. Senator, from
Massachusetts. to ill the vacancy
made by the resignation of Vice
President Wilson. 1t is announced
that Senator Sumner called on the
Secretary and Congratulated him in
the following words:
81 congratulate the country, ]
congratulate the State, and I con-
gratulate myself in having you as my
colleague"

Lieutenant Gov Mueller declines
to be candidate for another term,
and several names are spoken of in
connection with that Office. At the
present time the candidate receiving
the most favorable mention is, un-
donbtedly Senator Brinsmade, OF
Cuyahoga county. Though last
winter began his legislative expert
ence, yet his industry, prompt at
tention to business, his ability and
corteous manner soon placed him in
the front rank among his associates
and this season he received the high
but deserved compliment of election
as president pro tenn. of the Senate,
though mos. of the members of thai
body are his seniors both in years
and in service. Since his election
he has presided most of the time
and has proven himself thorough
and prompt par!iamentarian, and a
dignified impartial and even corteous
officer. An unflinching Republican
a ready and eloquent speaker, a mar
of fine appearance and of easy an6
polished manners, he would give
popularity and strength to the Re
publican ticket. Noyes and Brins-
made would be a combination hare
to beat.-SteubeRvHle .NeUs.

Political Morality.

1t is quite refreshing to note the
comments of the Opposition press
on the result of the Credit Mobilier
investigation. To read some of
these journals, one would think that
they were the exponents of a party
that never sinned; that held in its
keeping all the public and private
!, irtue in the land. Democratic edi-
tors who never had word to say

the Wichita cattle trade this season:

resign my station to my foreman for a
few days. The herd is still moving,
and | expect to overtake it in a few
days. Expect to reach Wichita about
the LIST OF June, but may not get in be-
fore the 10th. Want to drive slow and
improve the cattle as much as possible.
Mr.. Thaxton, one Of my partners, will
arrive about five or ten days later with
another herd of from 1900 to 1900
head.
IL had almost forgotten TO state that
Mr.. Brown has abandoned driving this
season. lie fears he might lose by not
being on hand to look after his win
tered cattle. lie will handle cattle at
Wichita this season.

like no other city that We ever saw.
From its hundreds of garden aud ma
tive trees and plants the very air is
made rcdolcnt with fragrance. We
almost imagined ourself in the tropics,
SO fragrant and evergreen was every
thing. But if paradise OH earth,"
it has it's fearful epidemics, its dread
cholera and yellow fever, and we would
prefer Wichita. The country for many
and many miles around Houston is low
and fiat and wet, and but few feet
above the waters of the gulf, whose
tide GIBBS and flows at this point from
two to three feet every day. The bean
dare or Usage orange grows here into
trees, and ties and posts are made Of
it. Here, where we expected to find
highly cultivated farms and plante-
tons, nothing but millions of acres of

cultivated lands were found.
We bid good bye to Houston at 2
o'clock to-day and arrived at the me-
tropolis of Texas at 5 o'clock this eve-
ming. The country passed over this
afternoon is all like that around Hous-
ton, and outside Of its many dark
groves of timber will never be worth
anything except for raising cattle,
thousands of which were to be seen in
every direction. We shall not attempt
a description Of this city in this letter.
1t is on an island, is truly modern in
its build, has some fifty or sixty thou
sand inhabitants, and is in many re-
spects wonder. Its port is full of
vessels, its people talk Of rivaling New
York as an entrepOt for the great
west, and it is rich and fashionable
place. Our party was welcomed by
the mayor, city council and board of
trade. The steamship company has

morrow, "sea-sick or no sea-sick," as

The Wichita brass band which fur
nished music for the occasion did their
part in most satisfactory manner.
The band led the procession during the
marching and discoursed beautiful
music. which added greatly TO the sue
cess of the occasion. The members of
the band are supplied with good in
struments and under the instruction
and leadership of Mr.. Schattner never
fail TO render entire satisfaction. The
members Of the fraternity feel to cor
daily thank the boys for the manner
in which they acquitted themselves.
Taking all things into consideration
the celebration was grand success,
Notwithstanding the Indictment wealth

the great good cause for which they
are laboring was given an encouraging
impetus which will be productive of
many good results. Ii was a grand re-
