c.. " Smith, Esq, of Stockton, &C
companied by Mr.. A. j. Davis, County
Clerk, of Rocks county. were in town
this week. Mr.. Smith is Rocks
county's candidate for Judge of the
18th Judicial district and the gentle
men seems to be making a tour to see
how the land lays.
This country is really getting toowet.
The rains were very heavy the forepart
of the week, fairly flooding the country
and swelling the streams to an unusual
height. It has sadly interfered with
harvesting this season, and sloughs,
heretofore unknown in this locality are
becoming quite numerous.
There are some queer specimens Of
humanity in this world, and amongst
them is one F. F. Cole,of Smith county.
who took up a stray horse belonging to
Justice Shawkey, Of this place Cole
had the horse in his possession about
four weeks before advertising and then
charged thirty dollars for his trouble.
Mr. Shawkey finally settled with him
for twenty-five dollars.
Mrs. Emma Cribs, of Kirwin town
ship, was tried before Judge Spaulding
last Monday on the charge of insanity
and convicted. She will be sent to the
asylum. Her case is a mild type Of
melancholy insanity, and she has been
afflicted with it for several years. She
has been tried twice before for the same
thing, but owing to the popularity of
the case, the evidence was not suf1ic-
lent TO convict. Under the cifcum-
stances it is really a kindness to the
woman to send her to the asylum.
Rev. B. R. Turner preached ar. ex-
cellent sermon at the NJ E. Church
last Sunday evening, wherein he made
a mastery attack upon the prevalent
evils of the day. His subject was
'sWicked Rulers Injurious" and ne
handled some of the boss politicians
without gloves. His denunciation of
the caucus system, however, might
have had more weight, perhaps, if he
had suggested a better method for a
substitute.
As soon as the Judicial convention is
over county politics will be likely to
steam up. There are ut pr seut, so far
as we have heard, six candidates for
Sheriff, three for Register of Deeds,
two for County Clerk and two for
county Treasurer. Il is quite probable
that there will be several more candi-
dates. out for the last named Offices,
as they are the best paying ones in the
county. We do not expect to see a
frisky walk-away by any one individual
this fall.
In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of Mr.. W. II. Boughton,
of Belmont township, for the Office of
Sheriff, subject to the action of the Re
publican County Convention. Mr..
Boughton is an old citizen of the county
and known to be a man of industry and
integrity. He served his country as a
soldier in the late war, and has always
been a staunch Republican. Should he
be favored with the nomination, we
think there would be no question about
his election.

Sanitary Reform,

The past two or three warm days remind
us that the season is fast approaching when
accumulations of filth become peculiarly dan
gerous to health, and the question naturally
arises, What are the health authorities doing
to put the city in good sanitary condition?
The last legislature made provision for
local board of health in this city, constituted
in such way that it was believed that it
would prove an efficient body. It is high
time for this board to begin to do something,
not by fits and starts, but Systematically and
persistently. It will not do for it to sit still
until complaints are made to it. People dis
like to complain of their neighbors. Hard
feelings are frequently engendered by so do
ing, and if the board of health waits for pri-
vate individuals to take the initiative mid
summer will overtake us with large per-
centage of the existing nuisances undated.
1t is the duty of the board to take the initia-
tive itself and TO do SO promptly.
All places, whether dwelling houses or
stores, which there is reason to suspect are
IN bad sanitary condition, should be inspect
ed by the board and the owners or occu-
pants compelled to put them in proper
condition. Activity on the part of the
board will rouse the people more than
anything else can to a proper appreciation of
the necessity of reform in this direction, and
we shall find that in most cases owners OF
buildings will voluntarily put their premi-
ses in order. Thoughtlessness is at the bot
tom of large part of the nuisances which
exist, and it will only be necessary to arrest
the attention of people responsible for them
to ensure their speedy abatement. We may
have an outbreak of cholera in this country
this year and we may not. 1t will be wisdom
on the part of the health authorities to act
as If an outbreak were certain. Their re-
forms will then be more thorough and
searching. And If the cholera does not
reach US the time and money spent in clean
ing up the city will not have been wasted.
Other things being equal clean city is al
ways healthier than dirty one, and the
healthier the city the less its population has
to spend for medical attendance and medi-
cines. An expenditure which improves the
public health can hardly fail of being in the
long run an economical expenditure.

1t is suggestive commentary on the re-
form professions of the Cleveland admins
tration that the first Portland Democrat to
get an Office is the Hon. Charles H. Chase,
whose prominence in this State springs en-
tirely from his unsuccessful attempt while a
member of Garcelon's council to reverse the
result of an election by trickery. We hope
the Mugwumps will concentrate their vision
on this case and then tell us where the civil
service reform which the present admins
tration is supposed to have so much at heart
comes in, in removing so efficient an officer
as the Hon. Franklin j. Rollins to make
room for Democrat who chershes a
hearty contempt for civil service reform and
political reform in general, who is cor
daily disllked by large and influential sec
ton of his own party and who would never
have been known outside of the local poll
tees of his own city but for the fact that he
The Portland daily press., 1885-04-22

A communication in one of our local col
umns this morning presents the other side
OF the oleomargerine question, contending
that the substance is not deliterious to
health. This discussion would have been
much more timely had it been had before
the legislature adjourned. A law is now on
the statute book forbidding the sale of oleo-
margarine in this state on any conditions
whatever, and there is no way, except posi-
bly, by an appeal to the courts, in which it can
be got rid of until the legislature meets
again. Whatever mans individual opinion
may be in regard to the merits Of the law it
is his duty to obey it. The law belongs, how
ever to that class of laws which good many
people have little respect for and do not
hesitate to evade, and we have no doubt
that it will frequently be broken during the
next two years. Violations of it will be
exceedingly difficult to detect, unless in
spectors are appointed in every town in the
state, whose duty it shall be to examine
every thing that purports to be butter.

the 6rssttaabble decisions were rendered by
Monday-tbe first in what are ae1 Sls, o1~'eS VI
Virginia coupon case, and the second in in
the case of Clawson, the Mormon polygamist
who was convicted and sentenced to four
years Imprisonment. Both of them do SUBJ
stantial justice, whatever their legal merit :
may be. The State of Virginia is compelled
to receive the coupons of the State bonds for
taxes, and the law which excludes believers
IN the right of men to practice polygamy
from juries is declared constitutional.
The Mormons lately have been receiving
some pretty hard knocks and are beginning
to stagger under them.

Gen. Grant still continues to steadily i'm
prove, and if the evidence were not over
whelming that he is afflicted with a fata
disease, the public would regard his present
condition as almost positive assurance of
final recovery. The melancholy fact stares
us in the face however, that up to the pres
ent time no physician who is at all acquaint-
ed with the case has publicly expressed any
doubt that the General is suffering from
cancer in mild yet fatal form. The New
York Suns announcement that he was not
afflicted with this disease was made in SO posi-
tive terms as to raise strong hopes that it
rested on some good foundation. But as vet
no such basis has been revealed and we fear
none can be.
