White presiding.--JohB Coleman (coIored)
was charged with stabbing and biting the
ear OF Joe Burton. Joe said be was talking
to friend last night on Brook avenue.
when Coleman came up and interfered with
him. After few words bad passed figbt
ensued, during which Coleman took knife
and cut him three times, and then bit his
ear. Several witnesses corroborated this
statement. Justice White committed Cole
man to Jail to await action OF the grand
jury. .u.
Bob Smith alias John Taylor (colored),
charged with cutting Jim Ellis with razor.
The evidence showed that the cutting was
done during fight which occurred last
June near the Old Market. aud Smith, who
had the razor, was defending himself
against an assault by Ellis, who was armed
with an axe. It seemed to be a case OF self
defence, and the accused was accordingly
discharged.
Robert Henry Fox (colored) was found
guilty OF stealing one calf, and was given
thirty-nine 1ashes.

The law governing the sale of Carbon
Oil in Wisconsin will be found on page
1899 of the revised statutes of this state
and as follows:
Amy person who shall sell or offer for
sale for Illuminating purposes, any miner
al or petroleum oil, or any fluid or sub
stance which is the product of such oil
or in which such oil forms constituent
element, unless the same has been pre-
viously tested in some proper manner
and it has been thereby ascertained that
the gas or vapor emitted therefrom will
not ignite or explode at any temperature
below one hundred and ten degrees
Fahrenheit, shall be punished by imprison-
mentin the county Jail not more than thir-
ty days Or by fine not exceeding two hun
dollars; and in case the death of any per-
son shall be produced by the ignition or
explosion of such oil below such tempera-
ture, and after such unlawful sale there
of the person so selling shall be deemed
guilty of manslaughter in the third de-
gree"
1t will be noticed that the law has no
reference to the fire test but refers only
to the flash test, which is usually much
below the fire test. aaee -

One who thinks back only four or five
years can scarcely realize that to-day an
election as important as state election is
so near at hand, less than one week dis
tant. So little excitement; SO little ascer-
bity and feeling among those who make
politics trade and a study;so little horse
shedding, buttonholing and setting up
of pins, that we can hardly believe we
are passing through a political canvass
at all. Does the present condition of
things in the political world exist because
men are getting more and more to be
their own judges Of the best course to pur-
sue relative to candidates for office as
well as on other subjects that concern
every day life? We believe such to be
the fact Men are acting more independ-
emily every day and are showing will
ingness less and less each year to be led.
1t took them, perhaps, many years to find
out how cold, heartless and thoroughly
selfish the average leader was, but they
at last found it outand are now prepared to
act in accordance with the discovery.
We believe it is self evident that the.
country over is better for this change.
The people as whole generally want to
do what is right but false leaders too often
are able to alter this determination
Politics as well as other things will be
purer for Independent action.
