PRosEcUrING ATTORNEY KNUFr, wish
ing TO save the county some four hun.
dred dollars, had inserted in the Cole
Harmon cost bill which the Sheriff
was to carry to Columbus the jury
costs, he believing the State should
pay them the same as other costs in
the case. He did this to make a test
case, the State heretofore paying but
Sc of the jury costs, the same as in
civil cases, and he has referred the
matter to the Attorney General. Mr..
Knupp thinks it is wrong that the
county should pay the jury, inasmuch
as the State receives the benefits of
the criminal so long as he is confined
in the Penitentiary, and says If there
is no statute providing that the State
pay these costs there should be one
passed at once. Thus it was that
some four hundred dollars were strick
en- out of the cost bill presented by
Sheriff Daum to the Warden of the
Penitentiary last week.

The Toledo Democrat winces over
our criticism of its stand in the Cole
Harmon case, and for defense it falls
back of the Scott-Drury case, and lid-
dies away upon its old worn out tune.
We have no desire to argue upon this
matter with the Democrat, but we wish
to remind it that the three murder
cases but just recently tried in this
county were of three distinct grades.
Scott was tried for murder in the Sec
ond degree; Fisher for manslaughter,
and Cole for murder in the first de.
gree. Each was tried upon its mer-
rits and the evidence, before an i'm
partial Judge and juries intelligent as
any which ever sat in Henry county.
and probably more SO than the average
jury in Lucas county. But it seems
the termination of these cases does not
suit our Toledo cotemporary, and it
needs must sneer at on: courts. This
is nothing to US one way or the other,
but instead Of gong off into Henry
county to bestow its criticisms and tell
its citizens what justice is, had it not
better look at home and note how
''justice is satisfied" in Lucas county.
To help the Democrats vision we hold
up before it the cold blooded murder at
Wilbur by Geo. Steedman, and how
justice was meeted out to the murder.
er. He never came to trial Also
the bloody murder of Lauhiff by Don
ahue; the murderer gong almost free!
And the deliberate murder committed
by Altenbaugh, who shot down a de
fenseless young girl, and who was lei
off with few years in the Penitentiary
That is Lucas county justice, and the
Democrat is as mum as an Egyptian
mummy.

A BILL has been introduced into the
Ohio Legislature, by Mr.. Metcalf, of
the House, that contemplates some
changes in the school laws of the
State. The proposed law is entitled
"a bill to provide for Township
Boord of Education, with full power
to control and manage the schools of
the township" The school laws of
Ohio have not been materially changed
since 1852. Many valuable features
we're introduced into our educational
system, and Ohio went for a time IN
advance of the then Western States in
this respect. But the then Western
States are not the Western States of
to-day. More and more progress was
made in the free school education of
the country, till recently Won Stuben,
the Nations guest from Germany pro-
nounced the American public schools
the best in the world. 1t is proposed
by the bill to do away with the district
subdivision and elect school board
township, one elector from each
township, who will have entire control
of hiring teachers, &c. The bill is in
dorsed by many able men of both par
ties.

with last year. Spring is earlier from
two to four weeks and plants from two

THE COMING coMvEE1Ion.

A Boost for the Constitatssnai Association
Special Correspondence Of the st. Paul Pioneer
Yankton, May 4.-Last winter the
Pioneer Press published long list OF
questions and call for mass conven-
tion by the Citizens Constitutional as.
sociation Of southern Dakota. The
questions were intended to open the
way for full discussion of all matters
growing out of the transition from ter
rltory to statehood, and the request was
made that all friendly to such free and
open discussion should sign call for a
mass convention to meet on June 7th at
Sioux Falls. This plan OF operation WAS
originated by the jurors and witnesses
who were attending court at Yankton
last winter, and it was planned that the
call should circulate in all the counties
of southwestern Dakota. While there
was nothing of secrecy about the matter,
1t was in effect to be farmers and
business mems alliance to see to it that
the management OF the new state diu
not fall into the hands OF professional
politicians, adventures and dead beats.
Some Of the territorial papers spoke
kindly OF the movement, but many tried
to pour cold water on the whole arrange.
ment, and the calls were beng numerous
~ signed in all sections. They were circu.
lated in every one of the southwestern
counties and nearly l,30O signatures
were obtained. While this number may
not seem large, it must bs remembered
that the country j. thinly settled, but
that the men who have put down their
names mean business. they are not all
unsophisticated gsangers; but they are
as lule the best and most intelligent
men in the territory-such men - Rev
Joseph Ward, ,Gen.W II. 81. Beadle, Capt.
Alexander Hughes, Jacob Max, E. p.
Wilcox, of Yankton; N. @. Mash, of the
Canton News: @. @. Bridgman, of Vermil-
lion. eto, etc.
The movement has no regular organ
izer and no newspaper organ, but Nash
Ut tho Canton News, has struck out
from the shoulder, and tho result sthat
his county (Linooln) furnished 500 of the
l,3O0 names.
Lincoln county seems to be thoroughly
aroused, and its people urged that the
place OF holding the convention in June
be changed from Sioux Falls to Canton,
which will be done. Within few days
the general committee have held two
meetings here, and the movers already
feel flushed with victory. They feel sure
that the people are going to unite, not
only concerning the matters of statehood,
but to put right men into the county
Offices.
On the A7th of this month meetings
will be held in all the counties to choose
delegates for the convention, and it is
|expscted that there will be . large en-
thusiastic gathering.
