WHAT is THE CAUSE ?-The days are full
of evil. Where is the philosopher who can
trace the sources of the crime which has been
rampant in Hunterdon county during the past
Summer? According to the showing of the
Grand Jury, whose labors have extended over
greater period of time than any previous sit
ting recalled by the oldest inhabitant, there
has been deplorable and alarming increase
OF all shades of crime. We are at loss to
account for this sudden epidemic. Perhaps
if the punishments for transgression of the
law were applied with heavier hand it might
exercise restraining influence. The times
are badly out of joint, but by what agency is
not SO apparent. Hunterdon Democrat
One way to restrain crime is to secure grand
jurors who will do their duty. This can be
done if Sheriffs are careful to select men of
undoubted character and intelligence. As
long as grand juries refuse to indict men
against whom the most positive evidence of
guilt is brought crime will be rampant
Within the past year or so instances have oc-
currred, we are told, where the commission of
crimes has positively been sworn to by reput-
able witnesses, and yet the assertion of one of
the grand jurors that this is all spite ac-
ton q has resulted in dismissing the COM
plant.
At the present session of our own county
grand jury, positive evidence, it is asserted,
was furnished the grand jury that two persons
under age and knowing themselves to be SO,
voted in Lambertville at the Spring election.
And yet the. grand jury found no bills If
these things are true land they are currently
beleved) how is our elective franchise TO be
kept pure? The question Of party should not
enter into the action of such bodies.
As it is, it appears impossible to get men
who have political influences in certain di-
rection, indicted for crimes of which they are
guilty Sooner or later there must be re-
action against such course, and until then
outraged justice must patiently wait.

TIE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent in its course, undc. no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the statesOf Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak its own opinions, Oil all matters coming within the scope of it's duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon its own merits as a local and state newspa- per, having for it's chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jcopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as cnterpris- ing as its patronage will justify, Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- diture to the bounds of income; on ly fools or enemies expect degret of excellence in all points that cal alone be attained by the possession
 of resources and income.

legislative GOssID.

The Governor will submit his message
to the General Assembly to-day. Il is a
document Of considerable length and will
probably occupy six or seven columns Of the
UNION AND AMERICAN.
As we predicted, the race for Principal
DOOT-keeper Of the House was a holly con-
tested one between the two One-armed can
didates, Prater, Of Rutherford, and Charles,
of Hawkins. They were pitted against
each other two years ago, but Charles came
of victor. After several ballots yesterday
Prater was elected. Charles was nominal
ted for Assistant DoOr-keeper without his
knowledge or consent, but received quite a
number of votes.
The officers elected BY the Senate and
House Of Representatives are as follows:
Senate-Spedser. Thomas III. Paine, Of
Hardin; Principal Clerk, John E. Helms, Of
Hamblen; Assistant Clerk, c. L. Ridley, Of
Davidson; EngrOssing Clerk, Miss Emily
PeytOn, of Sumner; DOOr-keeper, Archie
Thomas, Of Robertson; Messenger, John L.
Frizzell, Of Davidson.
HOuse-Speaker, Lewis Bond, Of Hay
wood; Principal Clerk, Neil S. Brown, jr.,
Of Davidson; Assistant Clerk, Frank A
Moses, Of Knox; Engrossing Clerk, Jas. C..
Courts, of Cauoll; Principal Door-keeper, H.
p. Prater, Of Rutherford; Assistant Door
keeper, W. E. Carter, Of Williamson.
We do not disparage the merits Of his
competitors in saying that the Senate did a
very wise thing yesterday in electIng Nr.
John E. Helms, Of Hamblen. as Principal
Clerk. IG will hardly be his fault if the
business Of that body Is hot dispatched
with all possible efficiency. in Mr.. Ridley
he has an assistant admirably fitted for the
position, and We believe firmly in woman's
rights so far as the election Of Miss PeytOn
is concerned.
