Our farmers have almost finished hauling

to sowing for q new crop.
We are glad to Welcome our young friend,

For the last seven or eight years. wheat has
proven a more certain crop rhan corn. and even
at the extremely low prices OF the present sea-
son. pays better than corn. Beside ii Possesses

OUR CRIMINAL COURT.

The criminal court of dis district is g
court created by 4 specia! &C, OF the
Legislature approved March 18th. 1879,
the Judge TO hold his office for q term
u six years. 1t comprises the counties
o. Saline. Prttis, johnson and Laiay-
cite. Under this act W. II. Ii. Hill.
ESD. was appointed by the ~soyernor,as
Judge, and he was elected for q full term
two years ago. We suppose that we are
| safe in saving that there IS 40 part OF
his district in which Judge Hill was
! mora popular than h" was in Lafayette
county. and We have. individually a high
regard for him as a gentleman. and a
faithful, conscientious officer. Hut
| aboul year ago he became incapacitated
from sitting IN his court, by reason OF
bad health and a diseased mind. What
we say here we say reluctantly, and our
| personal friendship has kept Us silent
even now longer than it should. Not
many days ago the Judge informed
a gentleman in this city that he would
be- able to hold his regular tcrmG. but
that his physician advised him not to
hold special terms. He also said that
i the sheriff would notify him he would
ut any time order a special term i 1t
should be needed and that the bar could
select Il special judge:but ii is generally
thought that he will not tie able even
to hold the regular terms. There are
several serious iEc0uvenienc0S in the sit
~ualion. The jail at this place contains
twenty prisoners, several OF whom
| should nave been tried week ago-this
at q large cost to the county. The men,
bcrs OF the Lar here do not like to hold
terms OF court, incur responsibilities and
do labor gratuitously. while Judge Hill
does nothing and receives the emClu-
ments OF tIa office. None of them
would object to it Tor CGce or twice, but
they dp object when it looks aG if il wa:
to he 4 permanent thing. Beside. ttieri
are doubts il: the minds of our lawyers
whether or not in TIE present situation
OF affairs Judge Hill has the power tC
order special terms. II is I matter 20,
grave consideration, also. II. under ex
! istng circumstances very large cost
: would not accrue by reason OF the man.
changes of which would be asked
and which could not be refused by Judg'
Hill, ever if he were 20 attempt to pre-
side. We dislike to say a word to in
; jure Judge Hill, and we know that n
needs the salary he is receiving, bu
when the public good is ieopardized b
. the interests OF n man, they must b.
made 10 Yield. And we think that it
clearly Judge Hills duty to give til
people of the district definite informal
ton that he is able to z. GG with his du
tIes, or resign.
