The Grand Jury having com-
plctcd their duties for this Torn of
Court would submit the following
prcscntmcnt:
AS far az time would permit

judge of Probate, the Sheriff the
school Commissioner. the Trcasu-

They find the books and papcrs be-
longing to each of these Offices
plainly and neatly kent. They
find the mode of CONDUCTING bust
ness i'm these Offices simple and of
easy understanding, and aII their
arrangements and amendments
well adapted to the convenience of
the public. They find the CIrrk'4
Office insufficient for the business
accommodating therein, and they
recommend that it be enlarged bv
adding thereto the Office formerly
occupied by Trial Justice Miller.
This can be done by connecting The
two rooms by means of Il suitable
door. They recommend that the
added room be supplied with nee
cssnry furniture and convcnicnccs.

agement of the present Board of
County Commissioners. They find
eight inmates all of whom arc well
and properly cared for.
They have examined the books
of Trial Justices Miller, Henderson,
Copeland, Ellison and S%toddard,
and find them all properly and or
derby kept. They regret to inform
the Court thut the other Trial jus
ticcs of the County have not pre-
scented their books during tho year
for examination.
AS to the Public Roads, the Grand
Jury find them generally in better
condition than formerly; still, there
is some complaint from certain
sections of the County. This com
plaint arises, in the opinion of the
Grand Jury, wholly from the inchi-
cicncy Of certain township super
YiSOrS.
They find much complaint made
of the Railway crossings Of the
public roads. These crossings are
detective, and in some instances
troublesome, il not dangerous to
vehicles. At the crossings of the
streets in the town of Laurcns, they
ar" informed that the streets are
often blocked with standing trains,
ANA travellers have been compelled
to await the pleasure OF trains for
thirty minutes on more.
They rccommcbd that these pub
lie troubles receive such attention
IL the law provides.
In conclusion they would express
their thanks to your Honor for the
Kind courtesy and constant aid OK
tended to them in the discharge of
their duties.
AIT of which i. respectfully sub
mittcd.

A Canadian Kick.

"A Canadian who visited Montans
not very long ago" says the Mcleod
Gazette, saw about $500 in the posses
sion OF a Montana whiskey dealer
His curiosity was naturally aroused
and on asking the grog vender how be
got hold of SO much Canadian money,
the answer and explanation were
given ia one word, whiskey. The
saloon man informed the visitor that
his pile was small compared with
that Of another party not far OIL VINO
got IL i'm the same way. The money
was paid by Canadian whiskey trad
ers, who brought 1t into the Canadian
North west, and sold Il. The farce oil
attempting to legisIate against
whiskey is being more forcibly exem-
fed every day. The Northwest Is
supposed to prohibition country, a
permit TO drink being required. The
sham which Is making some men rich
at the expense Of Others, that Ia max
ing drunkards Of men who would
never have otherwise become SO,
should be put an end to at once.
Either let us have entire prohibition
and employ an army Of men to enforce
Il; or else let the traffic In whiskey be
erased from the criminal code, so
that men who value their character
higher than money made In n
clandestine and unlawful manner, can
compete in legitimate business.
The only effect Of the present law Is
TO send money out Of the country, be-
cause In the west. at any rate, IL IL

The Cheyenne situation.

An uneasy condition Of affairs has
been noticeable among the Cheyennes
for some time past, but there are
strong reasons To believe that they
will be handled without conflict. The
trouble has thas far all been among
themselves and the principal cause of
1t seems to be that the authorities in
sist upon the band Of Cheyennes from
Pine Ridge going back to theiragency
in Dakota. This band numbers over
II hundred bucks that expect to re-
ceive rations while they are up here,
but they cannot be provided for out
side of their agency. They live upon
their relations, however, and although
they are welcomed as visitors by the
Cheyennes on the Tongue and Rose
bud rivers, they are a continual source
of annoyance to the authorities.
Then, further, in making the appro-
priations for the Indians in this sec
ton it was designated hat said appro-
pria:ions were for the Northern Chey-
ennes on Tongue river, and part of
the recent mission Of Col. Bannister,
special inspector, to these Indians was
TO inform those on the Rosebud that
they would have tot go to Tongue river
in order to obtain rations. Both OF
these causes are fruitful in keeping
the Northern Cheyennes uneasy. In
this instance the main trouble has,
most likely, come from a rebellous
feeling among the Indians on account
of the probable return of their visitors
to Pine Ridge and they have evident.
ly made il hot for Agent Stephens on
that account. By going to Custer he
was enabled 10 communicate immedi-
ately with the military authorities
and TO have the trouble attended to at
once. 1t was his best plan as the re-
ports from the settlers from there show
that his wards are well armed and
very feverish. John Cook states that
"on Thursday, the 10th, there were
100 tepees arranged in circle at the
confluence of Otter creek and Tongue
river. The Cheyennes have been
dancing and making medicine there
since the 18TH They had left theil
houses and all congregated at til,
tepees. They had also sent to Blacl
Wolf, the prominent Cheyenne chief
telling him 10 come In or they would
kill all his horses. He came. Thai
location is known as White Bull,
bottom" The Pratt Brothers saw
the band of over one hundred bucks
moving up Tongue river and
heard many reports Of the uneasiness
that prevails among these Indians.
These are all reliable settlers and their
actions confirm what they say. In
view of this feverish condition of az
fairs 1t is wise 10 take all measures pos.
siLle to avoid conflict; for in case OF
trouble the white settlers are pre-,
pared to take determined stand to
protect their interests. Major Logan
of the Fifth infantry, who has gone "a
the Cheyennes handledthem very sue
cessfully while acting as theiragent. He
has great influence over them and
his appearance there will most likely
quickly bring them 10 terms.

The European War cloud.

The war feeling in England is at fevor
heat. All the London papers unite in the
declaration that England must fight unless
Russia shall promptly recall Gen. Kom-
aroT and dsown his action in attacking
tho Afghans on the Hushk ri yer. Queen
Victoria Is to return TO London immedi.
atcly. The army reserves and tho
militia arc to be called out. IL is said,
but may not be true, that Englands
ultimatum to Russia is demand to recall
Gen. KomsroT within twenty-four hours
or fight.
Mr.. Gladstone stated in the commons
last evening that Russia had demanded
an explanation OF Komaro1. But It is
not likely that Mr.. Gladstone gives the
Russians credit for sincerity. Ho must
fec confident that EomaroT was obeying
instructions when he attacked the
Afghans. 1t is in tho last degree inn
probable that he would have taken such
step on his own responsibility.
At st. Petersburg the war feeling is
quito as intense as in London. The gov
eminent could not do more popular thing
than refuse compliance with England's
demands and Jet tho cloud of war burst at
once. And yet it is stated by way of
Berlin, that the Gar still hopes for
peace.
As is we'll known the Russian govern
ment is in bad condition financially.
How II con hope to profit by war passes
comprehension. If it places war loan
it must do so at ruinous discount. Still
1t can raise the money by piling up its
already enormous debt. We do not re-
gard it as settled that there is to be war,
but tho chances are decidedly in favor OF
such an outcoming Of the present troubles.
And it will not DO unwelcome to the
Gladstone ministry. A just war in Asia
will help the government out of its bad
predicament in the Soudan.

The DEPARTMENT clerks.

1t has become a custom quito prevalent
with ambitious writers and reckless cor
respondents to rail at the character of
the employees in the executive depart
ments. IL Is the rule in the criminal
practice of the law when you have moth
ing to say TO abuse tine other side, and so
when there Is dearth of news in Wash
ington, as an absence of ideas on the part
of tho correspondent he or she falls to
and abuses the government clerks who
are without defense. The wayward and
transgressing individual is selected as a
type Of the whole, and male and female
clerks are subjected to the severest cen.
sure, when most of them are deserving of
praise for the fidelity with which they
execute their trusts and the correctness
of their daily lives.
As in society, in the church, and in all
avooations Of life there will DO found
those whose shortcomings bring discredlt
upon their follows, so it is possible, per-
haps inevitable, that in tho departments
the unworthy will creep in, but that AZ
fords no justification for the continual
slurs that are cast upon government en-
ployes. Prior to the civil service law,
and certainly since its operation, the
men aud women who have come here
from all tho states and territories have
ranked above the average for intelligence,
education. aud tho oircumspection of
their conduct. In addition. there are
those who, as the widows and orphans of
distinguished citizens Of the country left
in needy circumstances, have sought
honorable employment under the govern =
ment, and who in moro prosperous days
have stood high in the esteem of the cir
cles in which they moved.
Now there is no more reason for class
ing these people in the same category
with the few who turn out to be dishon-
est and immoral than for matchmaking
u whole community because some of its
members are guilty Of criminal practices.
We maintain that it would be difficult
to find class Of people who, as whole,
are possessed of more intelligence, who
more conscientiously perform the duties
assigned thom, who are more correct in
their social relations, or who are more
upright in all that pertains to true ladies
and gentlemen than this same much =
abused class of government clerks. And,
| II tho vernaoular of the street may be
pardonod in this connection, We say,
| give us rest upon the conduct Of do
partment clerks.
The political cry of turn the rascals
out" has given to a large number of the
citizens Of the country an impression that
the government is honoycombed with
corruption that vice stalks in our streets
unrobuked, and that nefarious dealings
attached themselves to all branches OF
tho government service, Yet, with eyes
alert to the political advantage that
would accrue from tho discovery Of lille
Ritimato practices, and with desire to
fill tho Offices with followers Of its own
faith, tho new administration has so far
found tho departments we'll managed
tho employees attentive to their duties
and efficient in the performance oil
them. and their character as indi'

So far the trip of the Prince and
Princess Of Wales to Ireland does not APP
pear to have been success. The Irish
are proverbially gallant, and whatever of
genuine enthusiasm was manifested at
Dublin seems to have been devoted to the
fair Alexandra, whose beauty OF face
and character were bound to appeal
strongly to Irish susceptibility. Dec
orations and display have not been
lacking but these so plainly represented
the perfunctory zeal of tho official party
that no one is deceived into supposing
that the presence of their future king
upon Irish soil has warmed the Irish peo-
pie into forgetfulnesS of their wrongs and
their hopes.
If the royal tour through Ireland con-
tinues to be marked to its end by mani
festations Of civil respect in which 1t is
apparent strectionate loyalty to England's
reigning family has little or no part, the
world will credit the Irish character with
qualities of forbearance and dignified
self-control not heretofore considered one
of their characteristics. Tho Prince OF
Wales represents tho government that is
supreme over Ireland, and in that, be-
use the government 10 obnoxious to
tho Irish, does not engage their SYM
pathy. But individually he 10 not one
against whom they bear any grudge. IT.
then, they pay due regard to the man aud
at the same time make manifest their in
tention to never condone their injuries at
the hands of the government, it may turn
out that such an impression will be made
upon the mind of Albert Edward that his
tour will not have been made in vain
after all.
