One Oranges Opinion

During the past few weeks there has
been a good deal of excitement among
the merchants and citizens of Koko-
mo, Indiana, with reference to the Sc
lection of the Grangers of stores at
which to do their trading. The Coun-
ty Council selected an agent to make
the arrangements, but the course does
not seem to be altogether satisfactory.
At late meeting the Rich Valley
Grange expressed itself as follows on
the subject: There has been an ar
rangement made by the several
Oranges for County Agent, to whom
a certain per cent. will be paid. This,
in our judgment, is one of the
worst features of monopoly, and the
clearest case of the use of a ''middle
man" in the known commercial world.
To concentrate the trade Of Kokomo
to one house in each kind is virtually
to say that we are in favor of dog
fennel growing on the streets of our
young and fourishing city, and to
drive it's inhabitants to other places
We are in favor of extending trade to
all honorable business men in Koko-
mo; their interests are our interests,
and instead of destroying these, we
are in favor heart and hand of build
ing them up.

A Judicious License Law.


Some men have very quaint notion s
about the liquor traffic. They acknowl-
edge that its results are terribly dam
aging to the people and the morals of
those who patronize tippling shops !;
but it won't do to prohibit the sale
of Intoxicating liquors-that would be
interfering with the liberties of the
dear people-it would be debating to
meR what they shall drink. That is a
mistake; it only says what saall not be
sold. Then they tell us as long as it
is made it will be sold, and the only
thing that can be done is to pass a ju-
dicious license liquor law, but they
fail to tell up what would be judicious
license law. We presume it will hard
ly be denied that the results of the
liquor traffic are more injurious TO the
human race than any other business or
any other evil that is perpetrated upon
the public. Now, if we are going to
license practices that are absolutely
injurious to individuals and to the
morals of the public, would it not be
more judtcious to license the lesser
than the greater evils ? A judicious
gambling law, judictous counterfeit
ing law, a judicfous law granting to
men the right to swindle each other,
for instance. Let US think for a mo-
ment whether or not one of these
privileges might not be granted with
equally as much propriety, if judi
ctoasszy permitted, as the sale of intox-
icating liquor under the provisions of
iudicious license law?

{ - In remarking upon the subject of
the Bill for Redistricting the State in
to new Congressional Districts, now
before the Senate, the Cincinnati En-
quirer of Tuesday last says:
1t is our solemn conviction, and
neither age nor dyspepsia has made our
predictions hypochondriac, that the
Democratic party in Ohio is not yet
strong enough to be able to afford to
needlessly place arguments against it.
self in the hands Of its enemies. We
have charged that the present arrange
ment Of districts is unfair. Is the
proposed one less so? Ought a party
victory to be year after year the signal
for surveying the State in the inter
ests of candidates for Congress P
Ought their to be an annual oscilla-
ton from hoggishness on one hand to
hoggishness on the other. We be-
lieve that there is something more i'm
portant in Ohio politics just now than
the political complexion of two OF
three members of Congress. We
should be able to read our title clear
before we bid farewell to every feal
and face a frowning world too boldly
Some Of the districts, as defined in the
amendments to the bills, are improve
ments on those named in the bill itself
But to make it necessary to redistric
another year is not good policy.

- We believe that four out of five
of the fights, stabbings and shootings,
that take place, are in liquor saloons
and tippling houses. A careful obser-
vation of the morning papers will con
vince any one of this fact. These
nuisances are a little better than
human slaughter houses.

Green Bay, Wis, has disappeared, and
it is supposed has absconded. An in
vestigation of his book shows that he
is defaulter in the sum of nearly one

implicated.

long as the sufferer remains sick the doctor
is sure of his place and bis lee. An extreme
blunder may cause change ofpraciitioners;
certain to be discharged-his occupation is
gone. There have been physicians so de-
PRAYED as to parse sick mans disease for
months until his purse was as weak as his
constitution. The relation of the admins
tration to heSouth bears some analogy to
such a case. The restoration OF peace,
prosperity and political health to the
rebel states is the desire of the
people of the South. 1t is
their interest to be well and free and about
their business. 1t is no less the interest of
the democracy that they should he so re-
stored-able to take care of themselves and
assist their friends. Every case ofriot and dis
order retsrds that contamination for it gives
the administration the opportunity to In
terfere and that exercise of authority puts off
the era Of reconstruction. The single wrong
done in placing the usurper Kellogg in power
two years ago has produced thousand evils
each one more hideous than its neighb0r: for
crease and fill the land. In one
word it is for the interest of
the party in power to make re-
construction an amending piece of work,
and the horizon of that happy day hich is
to see it completed has of late been rapidly
receding. 1t seems very doubtful whether
the South win ever be fairly restored to the
Union, until the task is put into the hands
of those who have everything to win by
bringing her back.
This argument of the advantage to be
drawn from Southern misfortune is not by
any means an priori one. 1t is suggested by
one great ugly political fact. Many honest
republicans have concluded to support
Grant for a third term. because they consider
his reelection a necessity in the face of the
disturbed condition of the reconstructed
States. If that reasoning be applied here
after, is it at all likely that Grant and the
subordinate managers of the administration
will ever allow the misery and disorder
which are so profitable to them to pass
away? a.t

fore his election to the bench But these
men deliberately took part in case Shich
they knew was to come before them for
judgement and afterwards had no
scruple about rendering their de-
cision. These revelations ought to
disgust all right minded men. 1t is
sad to think how low the sense OF
personal honesty-to say nothing of profess
sional honor-has fallen among those who
are filling the chief places in the nation. Ev-
cry fine, manly feeling seems to Se de-
bauched and they appear, when the dis
guises are torn off from them by some sud-
den stroke of fortune, not like statesmen,
not even like decent mombers of the legal
profession, but like a set of disreputable po-
lice court pettifopgers-for sale in any cause
and ready to play any mean trick.

The correspondent of the Commercial gives
the whole OF the letter in the Mercury on

EDITOR MERCURY: Five negroes came to a
sudden deaih on the night of the 9th, in the
Tompkins neighbOrhood, north end of this
county. IL appears that Two negroes went dead
in corn field, for stealing corn, at the hands Of
unknown parties. A third was killed in a
fracas with other negroes. The fourth man was
playing with q negro girl, gun In hand, aud was
accidentally killed by the discharge OF the gun.
The fifth tragedy was that OF a negro woman,
whose husband deliberately shot her in the
head, producing instant death. He had pre-
viously threatened to kill her. He passed
through here this morning, en- route Tor Living

letter with Hays version of it lie necessary

kind of lying scoundrel he has foisted

to affairs in the South.

TUESDAY. OCTOBER 6.

The Cincinnati Commercial proposes
mint resolution of both houses of congress
AGAINST third term as the common sense
method of settling that much vexed ques
ton. The party in power would probably
refuse to take any such action for the same
reason that its conventions and newspapers
refuse to express an opinion in disap-
proval of the scheme, namely, on the
ground that all talk of a third term is
an absurdity, unworthy of serious con-
sideratioD, and certainly not to DC Dig
nifsd with legislative notice. The fact Of
the matter is that the example of Washing
ton and the strong sentiment of the people
against third term are better safeguards
than a constitutional amendment would be.
with the law in the way, the necessity ofself-
restraint would DO removed and aman might
covet the forbidden fruit until some day or
other the lust would grow so strong that
popular president might set aside the re-
strictions of the constitution to- satisfy his
ambition. As the case now stands, with
the example OF Washington before him.

Ihe country if they should summon up

feared that they have secret dread against
binding themselves on the question, as the
reelection of Grant is now looked upon as
a possible party necessity. The third term

Without doubt Matt. Carpenter and Ben,
Butler were retained by Kellogg for a
liberal fee, to look after his interest before
the Supreme Court, and both Of them viii
justify themselves by the plea that they are
lawyers as well as statesmen, and that ib is
not merely their privilege, but their duty,
TO appear for any client who may call tor
the assistance of their learning and their ell
oquence. Is the plea good one? The SEN
tinel holds that il is not. The functions of
Carpenter as a senator, and Butler SIS a
representative, are much more important
than their functions as lawyers. In
one capacity they are public characters,
II the other they are simply private
individuals; and the lawyer has no right to
compromise the LEGISLATOR in any way. In
appearing for Kellogg, Carpenter aud Butler
committed double wrong. In the FIRST
pace they fettered themselves in regard to
their legislative action on the Louisianaques-
ton, amstter affecting the most sacred politi.
"a. rights. and involving the peace of great
community. They might vote one way OF
another, but they could not act with an un-
biased mind. II they went for kellogg in
Congress it would look like carrying out q
secret part of the contract for legal services
" they went against him it would look like
hedging to save appearances. They could
not consider the petition of Louisiana with
calm judicial mind. In the second
place these gentlemen could not but feel thai
they were selling their political influence
rather than their legal ability to Kellogg
and were thus doing foul wrong to theoppo-
site party. OF course their presence could
have no influence on such tribunal as TIT
Supreme Court, but it may have had grea
weight with thousands of people Throughout
the country, and especially with the dis
heartened citizens of Louisiana. Put tn
best possible construction on their act snt
they will be held to have made use of thei
