Col. M. II. Crump, on his visit at
this place night before last, mustered
the Bullitt Light Infantry out of
service and ordered them to send
guns and accoutrements back to head
quarters. This could hardly be a
disappointment to the boys, as they
were thoroughly disguised with the
way the matters were conducted, and
intended 10 go out as soon as their
time of enlistment expired. The

were sorry they had not investigated
further.-Paducah Standard.

On the 7th of April, 1885, at the store of Hum

be requested 10 vote on the school-house bond

Sl400 out of which four new school buildings
will be built, three the west side, the location
of which we gave last week, aud one on the east

County Division.

The county division bill published
in another column should be carefully
perused by every voter, in order that
It's provisions may be thoroughly under
stood. The question is serious one
and worthy the gravest consideration.
This is not the first attempt to divide
Brown county, nor, # defeated, will it
be the'la While there is no denying
the fact that our present county man.
agement is not what it should be, the
question is: Will the change be of
any benefit in that direction? If di-
vision will give us clean officers, then
let us divide; but il, by dividing under
the provisions Of this bill our affairs are
to be conducted by the same old ring, or
by any ring at all, then let us vote
against it. The question of expense is
a small one, because under our present
management the entire amount neces-
sary is wasted every year, with no chance
for correction, and the proposed new
county pays over two-thirds Of the
taxes. There are certainly many flaws
in the construction of the bill, but it is
possible that they may be explained
away, and until such time as more
light can be thrown upon it We ask our
friends to suspend judgement. A COM
mittee appointed by the Aberdeen
board OF trade will investigate the
probable cost of transcribing the re-
cords and performing other work con-
sequent upon division, and will report
at meeting of the proposed commits
sioners to be held on Monday next.
At that meeting we propose sitting the
matter to the bottom, and will give our
readers the full benefit of our inyesti-
cations. If there is any snap-game in
the bill it should be voted down; but
#, on the contrary, the bill was gotten
up solely and purely in the interests of
a fair AMI square division, then it will
receive our support, sbecause we believe
that Brown county is too large for
economic government and that county
affairs need thorough overhauling.

Sequel to s'Those Delinquent Taxes"
We understand that our remarks in
last weeks Sun relative to delinquent
taxes has stirred up the animals to a
remarkable degree and that libel suit
is threatened in consequence. But,
libel suit or no libel suit, we wish it
distinctly understood that We maintain
the position then taken and are willing
to stand libel suit every day if the
same is consequent upon giving utter
ance to our honest opinions in the
interests of the taxpayers of Brown
county. No financial considerations
will deter us from fghtingfor the right,
and the sooner that fact / clearly un-
derstood the better. If certain parties
hope to silence us by burdening us
with the expense Of defending our ut
terances in court they are sadly In
fault. We prefer prefer law snits and poverty
to riches and a stained reputation. j

marks was in regard to the fees snarged

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's views on
civil service reform are now pretty well
understood by the hungry crowd who
fingered in Washington after the in
auguration ceremonies in the hope of
carrying away fat commissions in their
pockets. He wishes to bring the gov
ernment service up to the business
basis, SO that those in place will under
stand that their tenure Of Office will de-
pend upon the fidelity, energy, and
ability with which they discharge their
duties. Public office must be public
trust for them as well as in his own
case. As political influence will not
serve to disturb them it will be of no
avail in keeping them in if they are
notprofitable stewards. Appointments
will be made only as places become
vacant, and vacancies will occur only
i
by the expiration Of the term for which
the present holder was appointed, or
by removal, which in every case will be
for cause, the cause to be proven by the
presentation of charges and specihca-
tions backed by evidence such as would
be accepted in courts of law. When
appointments are to be made democrats
will, of course, be selected, and in cases
where the president happens to know
Of the personal fitness of candidate
it is probable that the presidents own
Judgment will be relied on. 1t there
fore appears certain that changes in
the public service will be made slowly
and with great care. The president
has no hesitation in stating MS determ-
inaticn in this regard, thinking it a
kindness to applicants to let it be gen
erally known in order that they might
save themselves the expense of long
Journeys thither, and longer waits and
larger expenses after they get there.

Gov. PIERCE has vetoed the women
suffrage bill and his message fully JUS
titles his position. He shows that the
bill would grant the right of suffrage
to women in certain localities only.
Many citycharters, some of which were
created the presentsession, provide that
none but men shall vote, and the gov
ernor considers such discrimination
unjust and unconstitutional. The
bill itself was also defective in that it
prohibited women from holding office.
In conclusion the governor says that
If women are to be enfranchised let it
hi done not as q thIrty-day wonder,
but as merited reform resulting from
mature reflection, approved by the puD-
lie conscience aud sanctioned by the
enlightsded judgement Of the people.

Chicago Times: What is called
protection, therefore, consists in laying
a tax upon those industries Of coun-
try that are not only self-supporting,
but that produce a surplus out of which
4 tax can be extracted, for the benefit
Of other industries which are unable
to sustain themselves without extran-
eous support, or those industries which
can succeed in persuading those who
make the laws to tax other industries
for their benefit. 1t consists in taxing
industries that pay for the benefit of
those that do not pay, or that the law
makers can be made to believe DO not
pay. That is the long and short of
taxation by tariff for what is called
protection.
