One OF our subscribers, who has
been reader of the JOURNAL for the
last ten years, in a recent business
letter writes US for a copy of Oct.
18th, and says this is only the second
paper that he has failed to receive in
sll that time. We send him the
copy asked for, aud hope that Uncle
Sans boys will yet bring back the
other one. "Long live the JOUR-
NAIL" says our friend, and adds,
under its present management you
may put me down as q life subscrib-
er." Clear, resonant words, these,
betting the name which our friend
bears, and encouraging to those who
are trying to publish a local journal
devoted to the best interests of the
community in which it lives, and to
the integrity Of all who read its
paragraphs.
AT the last term of our district
court the question arose in several
cases, whether the court had juris-
dictiOn over actions where the sub
ject matter was in Nance county.
The legislature in 1879 (see laws OF
that year, page l4S), undertook to
provide for the organization OF that
county, and to attach certain por-
tions to Platte aud Merrick counties
for judicial and revenue purposes.
Section 10, Article vi, OF tho New
Constitution, defining the bOunda-
ries of the Fourth Judicial District,
makes no provision for attaching
other territory thereto than that
which is particularly described In
this Section 10. Therefore, Judge
Post, holding the constitution the
paramount law, decided that Nance
county 10 not in his district and that
the legislature cannot, only in the
manner provided in the constitution,
change the boundaries of any judi
cial district.
