A BAD CRY.

The cry of personal liberty as opposed
to legal restraints being put upon the selling
and drinking of alcoholic liquors, is one OF
the greatest nuisances ever voiced from the
throats of bad men for bad purpose AS
well might personal liberty" be demanded
to beat, rob and Kill, as for it to be demanded
to sell the drink which causes these outrages
to be done.
To fire up a human brain into the commits
sion of robbery and murder by pouring alco-
hol into the system is on the same line of
morals with firing key of powder by pouring
into it Goals of fire, or Intentionally finging
into it, for hire, an ignited match
1t is wonderful how tolerant society is of
this form of incendiaryism. Let the torch of
boy be applied to haystack, and he will at
once, and in haste, be toted off to place of
confinement But we license the rumseller to
apply the alcoholic torch to the brain of hui
man edifces every day, and the courts uphold
him, and protect him in it, from being forced
by the temperance people to quit it. Thus,
under the operation of our Ubiquitous license
system, the courts of justice become the legal
izers and protectors of pauper-makers, wife
beaters, and all sorts of unthrift and villainy.
Further, if mans brain gets on fire, by
this chemical combustion going on in him,
and while he is bewildered with the heat and
smoke rising in his brain he commit some
act forbidden by the statutes, he is taken away
from supporting his family and confined in
prison; while the rumseller who fired him is
let go on practising in firing other brains, to
the destruction of the support of other depend
emit families. Was not the view spoken by
the Irishman's wife more just, as well as more
humane, when the judge was about to pass
sentence to confne her husband for some act
committed while he was drunk Pc May it
phase yer onhor, Patthrick is a good husband
and father whin he is SOBER and would it not
be betther to confne the rum and sind Pat
thrick home to take care of his family?" To
let the citizen have personal liberty, and re-
strain the rum and rumseller, will be more
beneficial to society, and more just. Better
saw off the horns of the bull that does the
goring, or put him out of the way altogether,
than to allow him to keep the neighborhood
in an uproar and perpetual fright, by allow
ing him his liberty to roam around.

In looking over black letter Bible pub
lished in 1879, we were struck with the re-
markable rendering of the 18th verse of the
6Sth Psalm. 1t reads: "The Lord gave mat
ter to the women to tell of the great army"
Our translation reads: Z" The Lord gave the
word; great was the company of those that
published it." In his comments on that pas
sage DIR. Adam Clarke says The passage
may be rendered, "Of the female preachers
there was great host" Among the Jews
the publication of good news belonged to the
women. 1t seems eminently proper that
women should publish the good news of pro-
hibition. 1t may be we'll for those who
claim that women of old did not speak in pub
lie to look over some of these old Bibles.
We are glad that it is true in our day, "Of
the female preachers there is great host"
May female speakers and workers be multi
piled a thousand fold

The Wood County Sentinel intimates
that the rejection of Foster by the DEM
ocratic Legislature will be the means of
making him Vice President. Why cid
not the Sentinel so farther and say that
after being made Vice President how
easy it would be for him to make him
self President, O la Arthur and Guiteau.
But, seriously speaking, the Sentinel
voices the sentiments of its party, for
the Republican party is always ready to
take up any one, no matter how ras-
callytor corrupt they may be, whom de-
cent people have rejected as unworthy
of place and position in their gift. This
was done in many instances, notably
one that of Arthur, when he was picked
up and made candidate for Vice
President right on the heels of his be-
ing kicked out of the New York Gus
tom House as its Collector by John
Sherman, who said he was corrupt and
unfit for the place! BY all means let
the Republicans make Chas. Foster
their candidate for Vice President

IT will be noticed by the new redis-
tricting bill which has been agreed up
on by the Democrats, that Wood coun-
ty is taken from the old Sixth district
and Putnam substituted, which now
makes the district composed of the
counties of Williams, Fulton, Henry,
Defiance, Palulding Van Vert, and
Fulton. The new district gives gen.
eral satisfaction to the Democrats of
Henry, and as now composed it makes
the district reliably Democratic, having
given Hancock in 1880 $3.50 majority.
There will be large number of Demo-
cratic aspirants for the position now
filled by Mr.. Hill, and he himself will
be in the hottest of the contest, while
the Republicans go begging for candi-
date. So mote it be.

A DECISION was rendered in Wayne
county few day since by Judge Still
well that is of more than ordinary inter-
est. 1t has always been question
whether or not the county was respon-
sible for Constables' and Justices costs
in minor criminal cases where the State
failed. Sometimes the commissioners
would pay, and again the succeeding
board would refuse payment. 1t was a
troublesome question. A case arose in
Wayne county, in which the commits
sioners decided to pay the costs of a con-
stable named Brown, and the prosecut-
ing attorney, to test the question, filed
petition and asked for an injunction
to restrain the auditor from issuing an
order on the treasurer for the payment.
The matter was decided by the court
after a careful examination of all the
statutes on the subject from.the first to
the present, against the claim of the
constable, and the injunction was made
perpetual.

THE editor ofthe Signal kicks awful
ly against the rejection of Foster as
Asylum Trustee, but he had no word OF
censure when the Republican Senators
refused to vote for him for U. S. Senator.
We presume the Democratic Senators
thought they were under no obliga-
tions to vote for him for Trustee of an
Asylum when his Republican brethren
declined to vote for him for Senator.
And then, no doubt, our Senators had
heard about the editor of the Signal be-
ing so opposed at one time to Foster be-
ing Governor, that they come to the
conclusion if he was not fit for Gov
-ernor he was surely netfit for an asylum
trustee. See it, Bro. Fouke.

SOME newspaper censor thinks it alb
surd thata paper should chronicle fall
of snow, or other incidents, when every
body knows all about it as well as the
reporter. A change in the weather is
not published as news, but as q matter
of record to which it may be of use to
referat some future day. A single note
of this kind has been known to settle
an important disputed point years after
the event, and conflagrations or the re-
suit of an election, or the death of a
President might be disregarded and
omitted withjust as much reason as To-
cal events of minor importance.

Our Washington correspondent
writes:
Chief Charles and q delegation of
Flathead Indians have been here sew
eral days in conference with the Secre-
tary of the Interior concerning the prop
osition to remove the Flatheads now in
the Bitter Root Valley to the Jocko res
ervation in Montana. The Indians are
the widest looking tribe of all the dele
cations seen here lately. Secretary
Teller has sought to convince Charles
that the proposed change was for the
best interests of the Indians, as they
were at present brought into contact
with white settlers, and suffered there
by. He told Charles that the lands in
the Jocko reservation intended for the
use of his tribe would be sold unless
they We're occupied, and the Indians
would find themselves homeless. A
house on the reservation and an annui-
ty of $500 were promised to him, and
ether tempting offers made, but the old
chief maintained stubborn silence,
and when the Secretary offered him
paper, he refused it with an angry ges-
ture He was advised to think over the
matter and to call again at the depart
ment.

exhausted and the jury box still con-
tained eleven mens The State had ex-
hausted rs premptory challehges and
the defense still had five to take advant-
age of. The defense demanded a second
special venire, whereupon Court took
recess until 1:30p. m, TO give officers an
opportunity to fill 1t.
Court was opened promptly at l:30,
and the examination Of jurors resumed.
1t was about O'Clock when the State
and the defense signified that they were
satisfied with the jury, and the twelve
men were then sworn by Clerk Barnes.
Following is the jury:

WALLACE BLAIR,
JOHN THEIsEN,
OLIVER HIGGINS,
ID. w. FREAsE,
W. II. BROwNELI,
A. NJ. WILLARD,
FREDERICK BOsTLEMAN,
HENRY GEHRETT.
On the part of the State the case was
clearly stated to the jury by Prosecut-
ing Attorney Cahill, and Mr.. Knupp,
for the defense, said but few words,
merely denying that the State could
make out a case against the defense,
closing without intimating the line of
defense.
The examination of witnesses was
then commenced, Mr.. Henry Andrews,
of Fulton county, being the first wit
ness called. In our next issue we will
give the examination of all witnesses in
full.
The court room was completely
packed, and hundreds went away un-
able to effect an entrance. The case is
commanding considerable interest, es-
pecially so with the country people. 1t
is probably one of the most marked and
interesting cases ever in court in this
part of the State. The testimony will
in all probability be all taken this week,
and the case go to the jury on next
Monday or Tuesday.

Unsuccessful Attempt.

Four of the inmates of the Pen. made
vigorous effort yesterday to
throw off the trammeling bonds of in
generation by removing two of the
floor joists in the dining room. This
was accomplished about 10 O'Clock and
was supplemented by arranging sort of
rope out of such materials as blankets,
ETC., by which the four criminals decen-
ded to the wall from which they appear
to have dropped a distance of twenty
feet. 1t was in this latter action, very
probably, that TAFT Jared unhappily
and was unable to get any distance
from where he fell, and he was captured
without difficulty. The other three, Fen
mel, Davis and Waters succeeded in get
ting off some 400 yards before they were
discovered. At this point they were de-
tected by the guard in charge of q gang
of prisoners working In the garden who
lett his charge, taking chances on their
remaining. The guard succeeded by the
firing of one shot in capturing Fennel
and Davis, while the teamster on the
premises, noticing Waters seeking a safe
hiding place, waded through the creek
and brought the last of the quartette to
limbo. Davis is the fellow who escaped
October "a, 1888, by overpowering the
guard, and got away as far as Cali
fornia, from which place he was after
wards brought back.

A Necessity.

There can be no denying of the fact
that free stabling on the public streets
has been the rule during the four days
of the Conference Just closed i particu-
larly was this the case on Sunday last,
when hundreds of teams were camped
on the streets all around the Temple
block, and we do not see how it could
have been readily avoided. 1t is now
absolutely necessary that there should
be a general cleaning up of the locality
mentioned. Already a very pungent
smell of ammonia arises from the plen'
tiful droppings. The present fir e
weather ought to be taken advantage of
to put force of men to work to clean it
up. To let it remain until after rain
storm would only aggravate the evil by
allowing the storm to wash the refuse
into the water sec. Whose duty is it2
Either the Street Supervisor or Bishop
w. B. Preston should give this subject
their immediate attention.
