unfounded personal assault upon Hon
John NJ. Lansden. To the plain, hard
working people of Johnson county Mr.
Lansden is painted as a stiff, reserved, high
tone aristocrat, whom common courtiers
will approach at their peril. Now we I'M
dertake to say that there is not 0
candidate on either side against
whom such an accusation would not lie
with equal truth and pertinency
Mr.. Lansden is not q blatherskite, who tells
stories on the street corners and haw
haws boisterously at his own witicisms
nor is he adapted by either nature or edu-
cation for the practice of the arts, the de-
cets and the hypocrisy that are held, in
these latter days, to be evidence of shrewd-
ness and good-fellowship; but he is pre-
eminently sociable, genial gentleman,
who treats the humDlest with respect, anu
who shakes the horny-hand of the laborer
and plow-holder with the same cordially
he does the soft palm of the minister or the
merchant. He devotes himself assiduously
% his business and books; but meets hun
ireds and thousands of men in q business,
social and friendly way every year OF his
life. OF all this number the editor OF the
County Journal is the first to say
that he is lacking il geniality of nature,
md is too stiff, heightened and exclusive to
fill the position TO which he is
lspiring. With people who know Mr..
Lansden, the charge will be held as too
absurd even to be funny.

RATHER HARD ON THE PARSON

There is no fact more apparent to the
observer of passing events than the fact
that the life of the average minister Of the
gospel Is not one that is to be envied. Es-
pecially is this true when applied to the
ministers of the Methodist church, South,
who, conforming to the itinerant rule are
lifted out ofone locality and dropped down
IN another every three years. This "tri-en-
NAL hegira" works hardship in many re-
spects. Passing over the the disturbance
Of pleasant social and family relations, the
rule serves to cheat the minister out Of his
hard earned pittance, known in church par
lance as "deticiency'--or balance due
from the congregation on salary. These
deficiencies, in other relations in life are
called debts, and If not paid otherwise,
the power of the law is invoked, and the
amount is made out Of the store house of
the merchant or the barn or stock yard of
the farmer who may happen to be the
debtor. But not so with the parson. Many
of them are expected to live like the goat
without food or clothing.
We are drawn into this line of thought
by the facts presented in tabular state
ment recently published by the Rev,
A. NJ. Chritzberg, which shows that
the deficiencies reported by fourteen
conferences of the southern wing of the
church, amount to the enormous sum of
$4,000. The average receipts of the l.
4SG pastors were SAT- year; the average
deficit sl2j, The Virginia conference did
best, paying its ministers SG32 each, leav-
Ing deficit of only 800 The Illinois
conference paid the least, giving to each
preacher only s2l2 year. Texas paid
1929 to each minister and left over 5000
unpaid. Thus it is seen that the average
sum paid to ministers Of the NJ. Z. church
South, tor the pear 1878, reached the pal
try sum Of 40j, only. When it is known
that the l4GS minister who were half stary-
ed by their respective hocks would have
received every cent promised to them, and
thus been enabled to keep the wolf Of hun.
ger from their doors, had leach church men.
Der added fifty cents to his or her yearly pay
mcnt, the Indifference of the sheep for the
comfort Of their shepherd becomes con.
splcuously and most damagngly apparent.
The NJ, E.church North is in better shape
but it is unlcniable nevertheless that its
ministers know what deficiencies mean and
have been forced, on account of them, to
practice the most rigid economy, and to
practice self denial that should be spared
them.

THE withdrawal of Judge T. B. Tanner

THE withdrawal of Judge 7. B. Tanner

Our majority, although considerable, is not

ten Democrats in each OF the voting pre-

GUMBLETON'S BOOKS.

THE APPLICATION FOR A STAY ON JUDGE BAR
RErT's MANDAMUs-THE PAPERS SUBMITTED
TO JUDGE DoNoHUE, WHO WILL GIVE HIS
DECISION ON MONDAY.
There was another long argument yesterday in the
seemingly intermnable controversy between the Bar
Association Committee and County Clerk Gumbleton
on the subject of the examination OF the official
records in the latter Office. This time the argument
was before Judge Donohuc the order to show
cause why the temporary stay granted the pre-
rett's mandatory writ directing Mr.. Ciumblcton to
allow his books to be examined by J. Adriance Bush
should not DO made permanent
On behalf of the County Clerk Mr.. William A.
Beach characterized the action OF the Bar Association
as a rummagng expedition. and commended that his
client had no objection to his books being examined
by any citizen but that he did object most decidedly
to the manner and animus OF the present attempt.
He read various adavts ON the case but they simply
embodied a recital of the facts as already published
Mr.. Artemus II. Holmes, on behalf of Mr.. Bush,
asked an adjournment until next Monday to enable
him to put In answering afhdavts.
Mr.. Beach said he had no objection to this pro-
vide,i he was given time to put in afidavits in

Donohue.
The carrying out OF this judicial advice proved to
be an utter iinpossbility and finally Mr.. Holmes
withdrew his motion for an adjournment, and it
at length agreed to submit the to the Court
the papers without argument. Judge Donohue took
the papers and announced that he would give
decision Monday next.

determined prevent the meeting if at all possible
and, accordingly ordered the arrest Of the
two men most interested and of Arthur
Chambers, the hacker and trainer Of King.
The charge which the arrests were
made is that of conspiracy to engage in prize fight
1t is questionable whether the law Of Pennsylvania
can reach men who had intention Of violating the
statutes in this country, but Mayor Stokley in his
zeal to prevent the exhibition Of "the manly art"
gave himself the benefit OF the doubt and took the
accused into custody, releasing them bail for q

morning the matter was settled by the magistrate

The accused were defended by legal advisers, and
the counsel to the Police Department conducted the

none of the witnesses knowing very much
about the contemplated affair. but the magistrate
thought the evidence sufficient to hold
the men for trial. Counsel for the prisoners con-
tended that they had not been guilty OF an ndictabe
offence and that if they had conspired to fight

decided about it, saying that the matter should be
tested in court and that If there is law meet

action of the authorities it is thought. will postpone
