That Fish Z" stOIy"

DEAR EDIToR:--Allow us to "explain
ourselves" concerning the fish STORY"
published in your last issue, and which
has been a source Of considerable com
ment as to the general truthfulness of
the trio ever since in the circle in which
we meander.
For several days preparatory to our
fishing excursion, bright dreams visited
us; everything was fish; our generosity
prompted us to promise everybody a
mess of the fish--we intended to catch.
Bright and early on that oventful Sat
urday morning two weeks ago we
started for Pine Run, and the nearer we
! approached our destination the more
determined we became to take home an
abundance of the finny tribe as trophy
of our days work. At last, after about
| two hours drive, we accosted man
who was coming down the road, and of
whom we asked: "Dauf mere fishe in
de creek, --?" and upon receiving an
answer on the affirmative, we dlsgorged,
/ put on our gum boots, adjusted our
/ fishing tackle, &c, and in short time
were in readiness for all the "bites"
that should come along. We stood on
! the bank along the creek, and as we
baited our hook we gazed down into
/ the pure, crystalline waters, A cry al
most escaped our lips as we perceived
large number of the beauties gliding
| swiftly along through the waters. We
'throwed in and hastily gesticulated the
others to stand back, All, Natchl the
fish were almost at the bait. Oh, how
patiently we held that pole, all the
while picturing what the neighbors
/ would CO NXlN lNntnn q
| basket Of such magnificent fish. For
| fully an hour we sat there on the bank /,
the hot sun streaming down upou us,
never moving our pole, only wishing
| aye, how eagerly, that the fish would
bite SO we could "pull 'em out" John
ME then tried his luck, bringing to play
all the devices he could think of, but
with the same result. Al last we both
ers" wouldn't bite. We determined to
get net and capture, at least, some of
| 'em, So writing q note for Tom, who
had wandered several miles along the
creek, and putting it in a conspicuous
/ place we started off for net, We got
1 one and oh, how the perspiration did
pour from us While we "set' it, and
! for the balance Of the day we chased
/ Lne suckers UP anu down, put luck
was against us. So we waited for Tom
concluding that he had caught, at least,
enough fish to make good showing for
us all. He came
We arrived home at about half-past six
p. m. the same day, with the old adage,
concerning "fshcrmen's luck" painted
on our countcnaDces.
Yours truly,
Tom SEIFERT, GEORGE MORTIMER,
JOHNNIE LENrZ.

IL. his moneys worth OF law. He has q
right, if be sees at TO DO 50 and can afford
ii, to get the opinion of the highest aud most
learned tribunal. Hence in the matter OF
Jurisdiction would blend together the best
points OF the Weir and McCulloch plans,
thus
Let the Appellate Court have Jurisdiction
in all cases where the amount does not ex-
coed 81 GOO, and in mis1emeanOr cases ex-
Guiding appeals in cases of felony and APP
peals by the State, and appeals for any Su-
perior Court having general term. That
jurisdiction should be made final when the
amount does not exceed 500, aud in all
other cases al appeal to the Supreme COURT
should be given.
2. The number of Judges should be FIVE
and the districts as in the Weir bill, and the
name should be the Court of Appeals Of the
- District, not the Appellate Court
3. And here | must protest that / am not
a citizen of Indianapolis own no real estate
or personal property in il, aud have no other
regard for II than a citizen Of Indiana hiss
who lives over 100 miles from il, AID who is
proud of il as the chief city OF the State. AS
such / take pride In IL, and its
growth and prosperity are pleasing
TO me. Whatever adorns and beauties
Indian apolis every citizen Of Indiana should
be glad OF. Hence. / would say 70 each
legislator. DO not vote against Indianapolis
as the place for the sittings of the Court OF
Appeals on account OF locsl jealousy. Con-
slider that the people and the lawyers like TO
go there. There is the best library in the
State and probably the best hotel accommo-
dstIoDs. There, too, the Judges can get the
very latest Imprinted decisions OF Che So
pren0 Court Moreover five judges are less
exTtn i've than nine. You will not sub sct
your counties or districts to the risk of large
appropriations OF money for Court House,
libraries or other necessary paraphernalia OF
new court. And, further, you will have well
digesied, consistent and learned opinions. And
you can expect no harmony for three sets OF
judges going around in the perambulatory
Style. There is not q State in the Union
which has a capital city so admirably and
centrally situated as Indianapolis. Con.
slider. therefore, il il is not your duty in the
interest Of economy and convenience to
locate the court there"
A few words further. 1t is po,r taste to
the Governor to select men of different
parties as the first Judges. The Governor
OF the State is expected to rise above
partisanship, and even If he will not, the
General Assembly ought not to put on the
statute book such an instruction. | am
sure that the question with the Governor
and the Legislature should be, Who is the
best man for the placer"
1t is to be hoped that the leading men Of
this General acknowledgements and Re-
ublicans-will act together to present per.
feet and speedily pass bill creating Court

years ago was inter dsd Tn break no in 10
dianapoIis and Evansville, aud / under
stand Ii has been eninently successful In
doing so. and that great many citizens OF
these two cities to-day, irrespective of par
ties. heartily indorse and approve it. And
why should they metz Every provision OF that
bill tends TO divest the police force of their
partisan character which so seriously inter
feTes with their efficiency. The com position
OF the force must be equally divided be
tween members OF the two leading political
parties, and no man can be removed or dis
charged Tor any other reason than unftness
for the position. Now thisis evidently much
better and FAR greater protection TO a city
than the fTfouent changes, merely FOR Doltt-
ical considerations, which take place under
the present mode of haviog the police force
appointed BY the City Council. Under the
present 81 EN- il occurs but too often that
IN consequences OF a change IN the political
complexion OF the City Council. suddenly the
entire, efficient, we'll tried and experienced
police force OF city is turned out

and inefficient set OF men are appoi ated in
their places. What is the result? Crime In
Ncreases and goes unpublished. and q general
feeling OF insecurity and apprehension per
vades the community. This Is certainly a
great wrong; but 1t remains a fact, neverthe.
less, that, just on account of the partisan
spint of Councilmen, frequently elected by
the influence of these men, this deplorable
condition of affairs prevail IN all those cities
which often pass from the control OF one
party 10 that OF another. Now. Mr.. Presi-
dent, the Metropolitan Police b III will do
away with this outrsge. 1t will not only

The present General Assembly is desirous
to legislate for the interests of the people.

and to have courts OF justice open to him.
There is not a lawyer IN the General As
sem bly, who does not know that II this
special session passes without provision for
an Appellate Court the people of the State
will be deprived in great measure OF their
constitutional right 10 have justice ad-
ministeTed completely, speedily and with
out delay.
The commission, which was a mere TEN.
porary expedient, has done its work and Will
not be continued.
IL will not take a year then, IL by the
lsshes of the General Assembly no RENE
dial measure is provided, until the Supreme
Court will be burdened and clogged by the
enormous weight of hundreds upon hundreds
OF appesls from the various counties. And
it will be much vOrse than 1t was before the
appointment OF the Commission because the
State has greatly increased in wealth and
population in the last FIVE years. The mo.
ment that the special session ends, every
debtor or liiigant who wants delay will
appeal his case to the overburdened Supreme
Court, and there the appeal must remain
undetermined for several years.
Now, what must be dOne2 There are two
plans pending in the Legislature. Each has
merit, and the advocates of each are pro npt-

people.
From the two plan can be evolved which
will economically and practically achieve
the ends in view, to wit, the relief OF the Su.
preme Court and the general welfare 81 the

And, first as to the Jurisdiction.
That should be SO arranged that the APP
pellste Court should have enough to do TO
make its decisions respected and respectable,
and 50 also that the Supreme Court should
have work enough all the time for its five
members. AS the plans now are, that desir.
able result will not be effected. The Appel

and the Supreme Court very little or moth

member OF the church, says it has been
difficult to prevent the Catholic Polanders
from doing acts OF violence similar to those
committed in Detroit by their fellow coun'
trymen. Previous to the order being
promulgated two hundred members OF the
church called on Bishop Phelan and
begged of him to hear the pastor s
story before be removed him, but
he refused to do so and Father Lobiatzbi
xss silenced. Since then the whole con-
gregation has been in a state of ferment
and several meetings have been held at
which the sdvisability Of attacking the
episcopal residence has been discussed.
Threats were also made to mob the pastor
of the South Fifteenth Street Polish
church, whum it ia said aided materially in
having Father Lobietzki removed.
