ECONOMY,

A petition has been circulated and
signed by many non taxpayers, and
some taxpayers i'm this county, pray
ing the Board of Commissioners to now
release the prisoners confined i'm our
county Jail, before they pay their fines
for defiantly violating law, and the
only reason set forth in said petition
Is the cost of boarding said prisoners
Now let us look at this matter and see
lift is economy on the ground claimed
to release said violators. In the first
place, it costs forty cents day to
board them. Against this the Com
missioners are authorized by law
passed last winter to put those prison.
ers al work, and allow them one dol
lar a day for their labor when they do
an honest days work. Nor Is this
work, as some think, necessarily COLI
fined to breaking stone and working
on highways. but the Commissioners
can make any arrangements they
please to put them at work where they
can use them to advantage. Now, if
there is no other work they can find
for them to do, let them be furnished
with ball and chain-if need be for
security, and set them to saving wood.
The writer of this has four cords OF
wood that he would as willingly pay
Saline county, as any other man, %
for the work il satisfactorily done.
Had the fact of this law i'm its accom-
indicating provisions been known to
the signers of that petition, there Is no
doubt three-fourths Of the taxpayers
on II would have preferred that their
petition be one asking the County
Commissioners to set those men to
work. Already several have changed
their names from the petition to re-
monstrance.
II. indeed, these men are penitent.
as il Is said they are, they will Ue glad
of an opportunity to give satisfactory
evidence of their penitence by work

pay IN part the debt they owe the
county. After several months OF such
labor the time will come, when, IL
they show the proper spirit, all
sensible taxpayers In the county will
be satisfied to release them, and unless
we greatly mistake the purpose Of the
Commissioners, IL Is useless for those
men To expect to be released until =
majority Of the friends of the Law
they have violated are satisfied to re-
lease them, and no such petition as
the one presented, signed mainly by

America. He is the only man who has
been able to successfully cope with the

Infidelity has taken fresh start in
the United States and Is shaking the
foundations o. the church. The art
of eloquence has been employed to ef-
feet its downfall, and the oratory Of
the pulpit is apparently inadequate to
resist the entertainments of atheistical
ideas and sentiments. The ministry
has failed to satisfactorily answer
questions that have been prOpounded
by ventrresome doubters, not for the
want Of ability, but doubtless for the
reason that 1t does not fully compre-
bend the danger that imperils the
church. 1t rests too much upon the
impregnability of the church, compla-
