There is one law upon the statutes of
the State that is an outrage upon JUS
tice. 1t is the law in regard to costs in
criminal cases. No officer or witness
can obtain one dime for actual expen-
ses or as fees properly due unless a
conviction is made. The sheriff is
frequently compelled to 60 in quest of
a criminal, SO charged witnesses are
summonsed to try the criminal, and
kept for days, possibly weeks, to the
manifest detriment of their business.
And yet if the criminal escapes convic-
ton through some technicality, all
lose their fees, and even money spent
for actual expenses is not returned to
them. This is not the fault of county
commissioners, but of the laws of the
State. And that law should be re-.
peaied at the next session of the Leg,
islature.

Billy Arlington.

In noticing the entertainment given
at LaCygne, by VIM. Arlington, the
Journal says:
Billy Arlington had a good sized
audience at Williamson's Hall, this
city, last Saturday evening, and the
night was dismal one, too, out of
doors. AS a provoker of mirth his
humorous lecture and entertainment
is an immense success. On the plat
form he pleases you and makes you
laugh. What there is in joke he
makes the most ofin language, GESTURE,
facial expression or mimicry. He
kept his audience here in an almost
continual state of laughter for about an
hour and half, furnishing our citizens
an evening of rare and pleasant diver
sion from the ordinary routine of life.

Scribner bias been SO marked, that the
edition of the February number has

strong contrasts of character; a roll

Teachers Association.

The meeting at Humboldt on Sat
urday last was unusually interesting.
Providence doesn't seem to smile upon
the pedagogues in their commendable
efforts at self improvement for "Asso-
citation Saturday" uniformly seems to
be the elimination of the months I'M
pleasantness. But Notwithstanding
this unlucky discrimination, about
thirty-five teachers met at Germania
Hall, and by their interest and enthu-
siasm demonstrated beyond doubt
that though other county associations
may wax and wane as such organiza-
tons proverbially do, Allen county is
going to "make it win" A great many
practical ideas were advanced and dis
cussed, and we venture the assertion
that a score of schools in this county
are doing better work this week as a
direct result of Saturdays meeting.
The performances were uniformly
good, but it seemed to us that the pa
per of Mr.. Newton's on "Incentives to
Study" Prof. Middaugh's class drill
on Decimals, and..Mr. Anderson's essay
on "Facts and Fancies of the School
ROOM" were worthy of special COM
ment.
In the discussion of Mr.. Newton's
paper, it was generally argued that
examinations in connection
with the grade system, are the most
reliable and healthful incentives to
study. It certainly seems to us that
no well regulated school in town or
country can afford to omit these regu
lar examinations. They are, as one of
the members expressed it, ''the life
blood of a school,"
Prof. Mddaugh's class drill, it strikes
us, was of more real benefit to the
teachers than any one other exercise
that has yet been given. 1t was alike
creditable to the teacher and the pu-
pills. Every feature of it exhibited in
a marked degree the capacity for efec-
tive ''drilling," for which Mr.. Mid
daugh cannot be too highly commend
ed.
Mfr. Anderson's essay was written
and read in the happy style peculiar to
that gentleman, which always leads
us to look forward to an exercise by
him with pleasure. Though inclining
strongly, and sometimes irresistibly,
to the humorous, it contained many
points of practical wisdom.
Altogether, we are sure that every
teacher felt that lit was good to be
there" We have every reason to be
encouraged. Let the good work 60 on.

From all reports, the action of the
Government in dealing with the Utes
engaged in the Meeker massacre, is
simply outrageous. If the United
States cannot protect the citizens from
the remnant of the Indians then the
citizens should. The Interior Depart
ment headed by Carl Schurz should be
sent among the ravishing Indian
brutes and kept there until they learn
how to solve the "Indian problem"

The Temperance Banner, published
at Usage Mission, Ostensibly the organ
of the Good Templars of the State, but
really as means of venting the spite

hardly fair to holda respectable organ
ization responsible for the despicable
actions of such a creature.
