FOOLISH MEANNEss.
The County Commissioners Practically
Object to Further the Ends
of Justice.

The County Commissioners Practically
Object to Further the Ends
ofJustice.
There is a large size difficulty between
the county commissioners and Justice
Crawford, which ought never to exist.
Justice Crawford instructed Drs. Berry
and King to make an autopsy upon Felix
Rocha. They did so, and as a result the
man accused OF causing his death is in
the penitentiary. The doctors sent in
their bill $500 and the commissioners
refuse to pay IL on the ground that the
charge Is excessive. Judge Wurzbach
demurs because he didn't order the
inquest, contending he alone has author
ity to order post-mortems. Judge Craw-
ford says that he has the power, and Is
sustained by supreme court decisions.
The fact ia that the charge for the au-
tUpsy is reasonable and it ought to have
been paid without murmur. 1t is this
habitual meanness on the part Of the
county commissioners in not authorizing
necessary inquests that has prevented
the satisfactory solution OF some very
mysterious deaths thst have occurred 10
this city. Every citizen is entitled TO
protection, and the best protection that
can be given Is to show murderers and
would-be assassins that II they commit
murder there will be such a strict inves-
tigation as shall lead to the detection
and punishment Of the murderer. The
inquest business, as the LIGHT has fire.
vueDtly urged, is too loosely conducted,
and economy In such matters frequently
offer premium for murder and enables
the murderer to escape the severest pun
ishment Of his crime.

The Huntsville, Mo-, coal miners have
prepared statement Of their grievances
growing out of the company's reduction
/ of mining scale from 81 to so cents per
ton, and the absolute refusal of the COM
pany to arbitrate the case. A bitter
contest is expected.
Prohibition matters In Mississippi are
hot, and getting hotter. Anti-prohibs
and prohibitionists are both holding i'm
] mense public meeting, and threats and
counter-threats are freely INDUCED in.
The county commissioners OF Cook
county, ILL.,, have ordered the assessors
OF the city to increase the valution $780,
OO0,0 900. This will bring the assessible
property up to S250,755, 2l0, which is
much nearer the correct figure.
An unsuccessful attempt was made TO
rob the Astoria, N. Y, post office.
Lakeview, Chicago, is excited over the
ozing out OF petroleum In the brickyards
in that suburb in sufficient quantities to
Justify the expectation Of a paying oil
well.
Japan fears greater decimation from
cholera than ever before suffered. The
atmospheric conditions are most favor
able for the rapid spread Of the scourge.
New Zealand continues her earthly
rumblings and severe earthquake shocks
are experienced. Every human being
has disappeared from within the line OF
the defined volcanic system.
The Hungarian premier, Herr Tisza,
has had an audience with Emperor
Francis Joseph about the Gyulai-J anski
affair. The emperor has promised to
write letter to the Hungarians explain
ing the imperial action in a manner
aimed to entirely conoiliate the national
feeling arc Ised among the Hungarians
by the episode.
A force of revolutionists crossed the
river from Mexico near Rio Grande City
latter part of last week. All OF troop,
Eighth cavalry, were ordered from Ring
gold barracks in pursuit of and to dis
arm them, but so far no returns have
been received.
The war feeling in Arkansas and Mis-
souri, is only second to that In Texas. A
Mexican war would be very popular
movement just now.
The Mexican minister in Paris has
sent a communication to the French pa
pers, in which he says conflict will not
arise between the United States and
Mexico on account Of the Cutting affair.
He concludes with the statement that
Mexico is perfectly tranquil.

THE MoNDRAGoN CASES.
The Dogs Bay at the Light, But They
Cannot Bite It."


District Attorney Paschal is working
on the Charlie Scheihagen murder case
with a view OF having Francisco Mon
dragon extradic,ed to answer for his in
famous crime. 1t is said that ex-Sherifi
Bonnet tried to get his man, but In so
doing was himself arrested, and had
some trouble in getting away. Ii is
hardly likely that at this date and under
the circumstances that the Mexican gov
eminent will agree to the extradition.
Some of our contemporaries chagrined
that they we're not sharp enough to get
up interesting particulars within their
grasp, ARE impugning the accuracy of the
LIGHT's article on "the Mondragons,"
and the friends Of Mondragon-strange
as it may seem, bad men oft have many
friends-are endeavoring to white wash
the sanguinary Mexican, but 1t is Of no
avail. OF course, after lapse of twenty
years, there is considerable difficulty In
getting accurate information. The
writer OF the LIGHT article interviewed
many old citizens who were acquainted
with the parties and knew all the facts
concerning the murder. Their state
ments differed materially. but all agreed
on the main facts, and these cannot be
controverted by sophistry and misplaced
zeal.
