Yes. Look. Look at the rebel Fitz-

lister to one of the South American
republics. Look at Secretary Shurz,
and his treatment of the Ponca In
dians. Look at Thomas Ambrose,
Clerk of the United States Court at
Cincinnati. Some months ago he was
indicted for stealing-that is just
what it was, the sum of about $50, 900.
A detective was sent from this clean
administration at Washington City to
look up the case. Ambrose objected
to this detective, because he was him.

The "clean" administration admitted
that this was the character Of its de-

These petitions made a pile foot

About Fools.

Many years ago, while we were
teaching school and boarding around,
we gained much valuable information.
Once when stopping with a very in
telligent Welshman, the subject of
the laws of Great Britain came under
consideration. We said to him that
it did not seem right for heirs to take
under the laws of primogeniture-
Oldest son getting all the property.
We asked him what became of the
other sons in the Old Country. He
said that if there was bright, smart
younger son, they educated him for a
lawyer; if there was dull, or half
witted one, they made a minister OF
him. We inquired if it did not take
as smart man to be a successful, or
useful minister, as it did for success
full lawyer. He said it did not, as the
minister employed some man OF sense
to perform services for him, while the
minister, who got the pay, put IN
most of his time in the chase-hunt-
ing foxes, hares, &c.
We have been led into this train of
thought by reading the following:
STAMPEDE OF COLLEGE STUDENTS
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
STEUBENvILLE. o., January l3.-The students at
Scio College, Harrison County have lately Deen RIM,
ming things high, taking whisky to the College, and
playing cards and gambling to some conslderoe
extent. They managed to get a youth Of sixteen
pretty drunk much that he was arrested and af
terwards taken before the grand jury. where he not
caused a stampede among the guilty students, num-
them leaving the College at midnight last
night. some coming this city, going to East
Liverpool, and others 10 Pittsburg.

parents generally sent only their fool
sons to college, like the English par
ents having their silly sons study for
the ministry. Just read the conduct

The Annual Report of the Com
missioners Of this county is receiving
praise all around, for it's completeness,
and for the careful and honest man
ner in which the affairs of the county
have been conducted. Examining
committees generally seem to think
that it is their sworn duty to find
fault with something, or somebody;
yet the committee that examined the
report for last year, gave the Auditor
and Commissioners praise for the
manner in which they discharged their
official duties.
There is one matter which the Com
missioners seem to overlook-and that
is, the poor expense. The Telegraph
overlooks that feature Of the Report,
when it says that the Report shows
where every cent of the money ex-
pended went. The expenditures OF
the Poor Fund only says that the
amount expended was S9,79163, but
it no where shows where a dollar of

think the taxpayers would willingly

we nave udu SOulc tApcIlcuCC do w
the operation Of the present liquor
laws. Twenty-six years ago we went
into office as Prosecuting Attorney of
jackson county, and the liquor law
had been in force about nine months.
We had many prosecutions under it,
and we never had cause to complain
of juries, and seldom Of witnesses.
The trouble was all the time with the
Courts, and this has been the trouble
ever since.
If the Register quotes the law cor
rectly, the Courts can fine man $50,
and send him to jail 80 days, for each
unlawful single sale. What is the
action of the Courts? Five dollars.
This is farce. Let the Legislature
so amend the law as not to allow the
Courts this discretion. Let the PEN
atty in all such cases be $50 fine and
imprisonment, on the chain gang 80
days, at hard labor on the public high
ways. Let the law also provide that
any Judge who may fail to carry the
law into effect, shall Immediately be
impeached, and any Prosecuting At
torney who may enter nolle prosequi
in any liquor case shall be impeached,
and said Judge or Prosecuting Attor-
ney, so impeached. shall be put out of
office, and forever after be disqualified
for holding any Office in the State of
Ohio.
The custom now is, after scores OF
witnesses, at great expense to the tax
payers, have succeeded in procuring a
number of indictments against par
ty, the criminal will make contract
with the Court and Prosecuting At
torney to plead guilty to one indict-
ment, be fined the lowest sum named
in the Statute, and then a uolle will
be entered in all the other cases. This
is one of the modes in which sworn
officers fail to do their duty.
The talk about bond is the sheer
est nonsense. Some years ago there
were several men in Jackson who were
indicted every term Of Court. They
would come in and plead guilty, pay
the lowest fne-S5O, be ordered to give
bond in the sum Of one thousand dol
lars not to sell in violation of law
The bond was given each term, and
the unlawful sales continued right
along, even during term time, the
drunken Judge being among the most
regular customers. We once inquired
of the Prosecuting Attorney why he
did not bring suit on these bonds, as
they were violated every day, and
every night. He laughed at US for
our ignorance, and said the bond only
meant that if the party caused any
damage by his unlawful sales, and the
injured party sued him; and recovered
damages, and he had not sufficient
property to pay the damages, then
suit might be brought on the bond, to
make good such damages.
We think Judge Plants deserves nc
credit for his very feeble attempt te
enforce the law, i'll one single instance
If he had sent every liquor seller te
jail for 80 days, in addition to the fine
it W ,uld have looked more like he was
honestly performing his duty.
