SALEM.

Warm weather and copious rains
during the past week.
Salem is entertaining number of
guests from abroad, during a portion

The dawning Of the fourth was
unpropitious. The forces of nature
were waging a fierce warfare The
roar of Heavens artillery" instead of,
cannon was heard, and columns of
murky clouds charged with rain and
hail came rolling up over the western
horizon which drove the patriotic in
habitants Of Salem to the border-land
Of despair. But before teno'clock the
elements had resumed peace, and the
anticipated pleasure of celebrating at
Paddock's Lake was fully realized.
About noon pleasure seekers from
Salem and adjoining towns began to
congregate in large numbers, in the
beautiful woods encircling the little
gem of a lake on the south. Pleasant
salutations, an occasional game of GRO
quet, and dining underneath shady
trees were the preliminary enjoyments
of the picnic. In due time the Salem
and Bristol divisions of the Sons of
Temperance, and the Salem cadets
formed a procession and marched
through the woods and around some
sturdy, patriachal oaks, and thence
assembled the speakers stand, which
being inadequate to support such a
burden weighty of humanity soon
collapsed with quite q crash and with
no attending injury to the occupants.
Singing from the Divisions was next in
order, followed with prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Peterson Of Bristol, and music.

keenly relished by all, was the raga-
mullins who presented a grotesque
appearance, SO unlike were they and
their appointments to anything else
that is in heaven above, as that is in
the earth beneath, or that is in the
water under the earth. And thus was
the 101st, anniversary day happily
celebrated at Paddock's Lake. II

THE 100000 diamond necklace that
the Khediye gave Miss Sherman, now

value of precious stones. Congress re-

Mr.. EDITOR viii YOU let me offer a few thoughts
upon the herd law through your columns hoping that
the citizens of Doniphan County may consider the dis
advantage that win arise from the herd law, il it
passes!
The hog law has been more than so 900 disadvant-
age this County yearly, and if the herd law il put
in force il will be the ruination of this County In
few years few men will own ali the cattle in tina
County. for this reason: The greater portion of
not able TO fence their pastures and great many
have water privileges. and it would deprive us
from pasuring own stubbe fields and stalk fields
These alone would pay US every three years for fenc
ing our farms; but if we pasture own fields,
stock will intrude upon neighbors that would
not do; and men living along the railroad, having
horse or COW get cut the railroad, and get killed.
who would pay for it The owner of the stock will
have the damage to pay and lose his stock; and if
car is thrown of the track by stock that accidentally
gets out how many farmers will there be that will be
able to pay the damage! Net one in ten on an aver
age.
The herd law il a disadvantage to any farmer. and
is an advantage nobody but railroad men. L will
ask a question. and leave the reader to answer it:
Which the easiest and cheapest for the farmer, to
ship his grain all of in the bushel ship if of in cat
tie and hogsi And how many hogs were there IN
Dcniphan County three years ago and how many
were there this Fall and if the herd law is imposed
upon u.s. You will that there won't lie onehaf the
cattle raised in three years from its passage in this
County, that raise at present VIII We Sit upon

Mr. Editor, know that you opposed to these
views; but will you honor me by printing thai Re

Chapple is i'm very little more danger than Mr.. H.
Now. il will cost thousands of dollars to keep this
small piece of vacant land fenced or. in other words
to keep in repair the fences around the fields that
exposed the stock ranging upon this piece of land.
that will hardly keep them from starving. at the best.
But let consider little further Affer leaving this
section You may travel south for twelve miles,
nearly TO Geary City. and the Missouri River.
and you will hardly find another tract of vacant land
that affords any pasture. Question 2: What do the
people i'm this sertion do with their stock. They take
care of it: and am certain that we keep some as
good stock as neghbors further west At the
same time. We compelled. by very unjust Law,
think build new fences, and repair old ones to pro-
tect our crops from some unfortunate old COW, now
and thsi. browsing along the road side.
Mr. Editor. can assure You that nearly all the peO-
pie in this section think head level upon this
important question. We believe the herl law was
tended benefit the farmer; and when it has been
voted down heretofore it chiefly done by the lit
tie towns all over the County, the farmers nearly all
want il.
In conclusion, / would suggest to honorable
Commissioners that they take particular notice Of the
signed to the circumstances that will be hand
ed and compare them with those upon the petitions
for the herd law.

APpRoyEp.-Our aaticle relative to the neces-
sity and Justice of the repeal Of the law Of last
Winter prohibiting County Boards from allow
ing bills except at the four stated quarterly
meetings, meets with the almost universal apprOv-
al of the press of the State. The Topeka Common
xsslth is the only paper that have seen, that
even suggests that there may be good reasons on
the other side. In truth, there is no good reason
why such Law should exist, aud very many
why it should not. The Commonwealth says the
County Board of Shawnee County favor the law,
and gives, one of the reasons, that the old way
ofefs tempting facilities for two members OF q
County Board to get together at the odd meetings,
and allow bills lsindiscriminately Thisis worse than
no excuse at all. Why two members get togeth-
er at such meetingsi Why shonld the third stay
away then, more than at regular meetingsi II
any Counties have members of their Boards who
are axious to squander money, that they Will
allow accounts indiseriminately, right or wrong,
Just for the sake of allowing them, unless watch
ed by third, they must have poor timber for
this important Office. But if>two members get
together and allow accounts they will both have
to vote for tho allowance, to carry it through !;
and as two are majority of three, how can third
prevent the two from allowing accounts indis-
criminately, even at regular meeting, If they
are so disposed' 1t requires Just as many votes
to carry question in a meeting of two. as it
does in a meeting of three. Let the law be re-
pealrd

JUDGE KINGMAS.-A correspondent Of the
Atchison Champion suggests that it woald be q
generous act for the Legislsture to xppropri-
ate a sum Of money to Judge Kingman, 1t least
equal to what his salary would have bssn during z
the two years that he would have yet hal tn
serve, had he not resigned. We second the mo-
ton. Judge Kingman has beeA in the public
service almost the whole time that he has resid.
ed in Kansas, at salary that rendered it inpos-
sible for him to save much, if any, money. He
has never been suspected of . corrupt oct, or Of
an unjust or dishonorable one. He resigned his
position because his health wonld not permit
him to perform the duties for which he was re-
ceising salary. He is poor, but would scorn to
touch dollar if bestowed as charity. Howey-
er, as public recognition Of his services and his
worth, he could hardly refuse it. He has not
asked it, but the suggestion comes fr"m friends
who have known him long and well.

EDITORS MEETING-A number of Kansas ed
itors met at Topeka, last week, and passed reso-
lutions in favor of just prices for work, and
against being compelled to enter into ruinous
competition with irresponsible adventurers, hav-
ing no fixed habitation, and no permanent inter-
est in the community. There is an oppoItun
for them to act as well as to resolre There at
least two bills in some stage of progress in the
Legislature, not only reducing printers fees for
legal work one-half but one of them actually
proposes to allow them to charge for only one
half to two-thirds of the matter they are requir-
ed to publish. Those editors who have any in
fuence with members of the Legislature, had
better look to this matter. They will find that
the men who have been the most active in en-
deavoring to throw open the door to any amount
of interest the money-loaner had the conscience
to ask, who have endesvored to relieve the mort
cages of the money y-shark from taxation, and
who have sought to remove all safeguards
against the creditor selling the debtor out of
house and home, are the very men who are en-
gineering this scheme to reduce the printers fees
one-half for advertising the delinquent lands Of

II The Democratic House of Representatives
of Congress, after lengthy and persistent in
vestigation, has unanimously resolved that there
is no ground for the impeachment of Secretary
Robeson. Those who have observed how the
New York San has been pursuing and defaming
Robeson daily for years, publishing the vilest
charges against HI In, and keeping up a ceaseless
howl for his impeachment, can judge, from this
result, how true the charges of the same paper
are against President Grant and all other prom
inent Republicans. Disappointed malice has
here received crushing rebuke.
