WILL NOT BEAR EXAMINATION.

ED. Journal Nothing shows more
conclusively that the action of certain
county officials win not bear examination
than the persistant but futile attempts ol
their organ, (the SentneL) to sti1e all in.
quiry into the matter; and this in the
uninirest manner possible. The JOURNAL
in reviewing their action in certain
ditch matter points ont some gIaring in.
consistency or act OF injustice on the part
OF these officials for refusing to publish an
arportionment notice in county paper
having by far the largest circulation
among the landowners along the line Of
the ditch in question. The Sentinel does
not deny this but Immediately proceeds
to impngn the motives of the JOURNAL
for daring to object A few simple ques.
tons present themselves here
lst. Is it right and proper TO inform
the people OF the official doings of their
agents County officers)?
2d. II it is right and proper to do so,
ia it not the duty of a county paper to post
them in such matters?
The only question that remains is :
Has the JoURNDL published the facts in
the case. This is not denied. Therefor
II is the height of presumption or cffront.
cry in any one to censure the JOURNAL
for publishing and criticizing such con.
duct on the part of said officials.
