1t is easy to moralize over the trite truths of
the wickedness and folly of such nprisings
against lawfully constituted authority. 1t is easy
to point out their terrible effects the wrongs
and blood outlines and excuses to which they
lead But the cause in a case like this is none
the less disgraceful There have been so many
instances of late in which the jury-box has
proved the shield and shelter of undoubted
crime that if the courts can afford no remedy it
is not surprising that the people try to take the
law into their own hands.

BAD EFFECT OF THE REACTION.
ConnersYille Examiner.

The laws delay constrains the mob element to
wreak vengeance on the innocent in return for
the failure to punish crime. After incalcuable
mischief has been done in this direction a re
action will set in. and through the strict admins
tration of justice, mtempered with equity, many
hardships will be wrought upon comparatively
innocent offenders.

WARNING TO THE SALOONS.
Richmond Palladium.

Let us make this prediction: That if the
saloonists in our large cities go on as they are
doing, defying the laws, and utterly disregarding
decent public sentiment the time is coming
when the people will rise in their indignation
and make general onslaught on the saloons
When laws are powerless the people are power
full.
THE ONLY SAFETY.
New York World.
There is no safety for the community of civil
lied man but in the deep consciousness that he
must make common cause against the passions
of his brute nature, and mingle his indignation
at wrongs with his obedience to law.
COURT PRACTICE MUST BE PURIFIED.

Justice has her shortcomings in all the cities of
the world. 'Plate sin with gold7 and it is safe
against all the lances of the law, was said good
while before the first beer shop was opened in
that pretty city on the Ohio; and while Shak-
speare's line refers only to the most common
cause in human experience for the escape of the
guilty there are good many other causes al
ways in operation Other evils than the greed
for gain make the name of the law a mockery,
and teach criminals by constant example, with
tons against property and life. But the failure
of justice has for its close following shadow in
this country the court of Judge Lynch, and this
judge is always demonstrative in precise proper
ton to the absence of known means for the forci-
BILE prevention of his assize

ZENIER-BRAZEAU- At their residence corner
of Broadway and Saratoga streets, in this
city, Tuesday evening July 1, 1884, by Rev.
John Rowland
A large number of friends and rela-
tives were present to witness the
marriage ceremony of this couple who
were we'll and favorably known through
out this vicinity. Their new and coy
home was bright and cheerful making
the surroundings attractive and
pleasant. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. John Rowland in his
usual easy and graceful manner. The
refreshments served were choice and
delicious consisting of the usual vari-
cites suitable for su n an occasion.
They were kindly remembered with a
long list of fine presents, useful as
well as ornamental ones, well assorted.
The want of space prevents our pub
fishing the list.

cheap alarm that can be attached to
any door and is so arranged as to be
out of the way in opening and closing
the door 1t answers both as a door
or burglar alarm, and door bell. It
gives double alarm at every attempt
to open the door, and is so arranged
as to alarm, or not. at the will of the
occupant. 1t is neat and novel, and
an ornament to the door. These bells
are now being sold in this city by Mr..
Geo. Henier, Sr. Prices ranging from
4 to Sc. Full particulars given by

The School Board.

Monday evening the school board
held special meeting in the bank for
the consideration of applications for
the principalship. Several names were
before the board and among them that
of Willis Witter, of this city, which
was handed in by Mr.. J. D. Witter.
The most prominent name before the
board was Mr.. J. NJ Burke of Apple
ton, a teacher of merit and experience.
Quite lively discussion took place
over these two candidates. The posi-
ton was finally rendered to Mr.. Burke
at 500 per month with proviso that
should Mr.. Burke refuse to accept
then the position to be offered to Mr..
Willis Witter at S75. The proviso was
seriously opposed by Supt. Cole. He
argued that the district would object
to such action on several grounds.
S. A. Spaford and D. 2. Morrill, were
of the same opinion. The vote stood
4 and 3, DR.. Witter, ). D. Witter, j.
A. Gaynor and Geo. r. Gardner vot-
ing in the affirmative.
Should Mr.. Burke accept, the
subject will necessarily drop. It
is hoped that the board will not act
hastily in this matter and continue to
retain the confidence and trust of the
people. Any attempt at forcing any
candidate upon the district against the
wishes of the people will prove detri-
mental to the school.

A few months ago one Ezra Keyes
of Marshfeld attempted to kill his
wife and shot her in the face, the ball
failing to do its intended work. AT,
ter dilly dallying along for some months
Mr.. Reyes was finally permitted to
plead guilty to an assault only. He
was fined by Judge Webb $50 and in
default of payment was to be impris-
oned for 80 days in the county Jail.
He chose to remain a prisoner and is
serving out his time as a chore boy
for sheriff McCamley and is more a
guest than prisoner The county of
course is paying at least 81 day
for this kind of justice. It would be
much better for the county to secure
his discharge altogether and save the
expense.

Miss Durkee has gone to her home in

ment of the Howe High School and
made many friends on every hand.

Miss Weinzeriel, of Centralia, is
engaged to teach the primary depart
ment in the high school. The board,
we predict, will never have occasion to
regret this. Miss Weinzereil is a COM
petent young lady and with a good
board to sustain the teacher there
is little occasion for failure.
