What a Legal Light Thinks Of tho
New Judge.
0. H. L. in jamestown Capital.

y. II. l.. In jamestown Capital.
There are two reasons why Judge Nc.
Connell should be removed from his
office. He publicly assailed the Devils
Lake land Office officials either through
motives Of ignorance or malice, or both.
and In either case he has shown himself
unfit for the Office which he holds.
After the judge had preferred his
charges against Lord, Whipple and
Hansbrough to the grand jury, numer-
Gus witnesses were summoned from
Devils Lake and the entire matter sift-
ed, but, after deliberate investigation.
the Democratic prosecuting district at
torney informed the jury and court that
these three men had not violated any
existing statute OF the United States.
The Judge plainly showed his disap-
pointmenta at this news (for it was "news''
to him), and in order to accomplish his
purpose he ordered all the papers and
testimony i'll the case to be forwarded
to the land office at Washington.
Judge Mcconnell acted the part of an
objectionable ignoramus in publicly
arraigning these men from the bench
for violating IL statute which never ex-
'sted anywhere except in his stupid
mind.
lie exhibited the intliscretion of a
demagogue IN publishing his charges to
the world instead of confining them to
the ears Of the grand jury, as he should
have done. He displayed his real mo-
tive in making the charges when he
ordered the testimony to be sent to the
land office at Washington, viz: that he
wanted to get these three men removed
from office.
Now it is the duty of judge to know
what the statutes are before he makes
specific charges or orders prosecution,
but II he does not know what the stat
utes are he is unfit to sit on the bench.
Again, no honorable judge would per.
nit his charges against individuals to
be published to the world before those
individuals had an opportunity to be
heard in court, for the reason that no
person after having been thus publicly
assailed could exoncrate himself except
by trial in cou.t.
Furthermore, after the grand jury had
investigated the case and failed to indict
the judge had no right to 'go behind the
returns and try to force an issue at
Washington.
arraign Judge Mcconnell for the
grossest indiscretion, partisanship and
incompetency, and if the Devils Lake
land office officials "must co." he GER
tainly ought to Ego" with them into the
quiet shades of peaceful domestic re-
tircment.

Moving q County Seat.

A party who returned today from Tur-
tie mountain and witnessed the removal
OF the Rolette county records from Dun
neith to St. John, under authority of the
order Of Judge Francis, says it was an
amusing scene. The citizens of st. John
went over in force with wagons, buggies
and on horseback. The Dunseth deni-
zens stood around with their hands in
their pockets, and were silent. Dunseith
consoles itself with the statement that
"you have the county seat, but we have
the coal mine." Both ought to be happy.

A TALKING PIANo.-A piano which gives
an imitation of the human voice has peen
recently brought to this country. The
nr;nc;ple of it's construction is different from
that of the photograph, voicing the ideas CT
the operator instead of reproducing the
words. The piano is made to utter sounds
and words more or less intelligibly by re
chanical contrivances in imitation OF all IN"
separate organs Of speech in man. A bel
lows from behind sends the force of air INTO
the larypx, where the primal sound ls pre-
duced by the vibrations of thin piece 1T
bone. The sound coming from here Is mod
fled at will. The lips and tongue are mace
of India rubber and the lower jaw ana
tonpue are movable and thus able to control
the sounds which are produced. 10 supply
the place of nose, directly underneath lhe
mouth and in connection with 1t IS lemon
shaped chamber to which rubber tu.e
curved outward forms an outlet. When inc
air is driven through, the nasal sounds OF
the instrument are produced. A series OF
stops placed directly in front OF the Voca,
cords in the larynx, and under the contr1i
of the operator by pedals, regulate the Pitcn
OF the sound The key hoard ny when IL
ia operated consists of fourteen keys repre-
senting fourteen distinct letters or SOUNDS.
The others are formed by combinations.
The tone is necessarily hard and rough, hut
the enunciatioD is surprisingly distinct.
The uiano WIS invented in 1861 by Il resi-
dent of Vienna. and though II has been
widely exhibited ,brou"hout Eurore, this
is it's first appearance in the United STATES
