CLEVELAND STATES.

THERE seems to be scheme afoot
among the Democrats to knock out the hold.
over Assessors. In this county as well as in
Eureka and one or two other counties in the
State the Democratic Central Committees
placed an Assessor on their tickets. The Re-
publicans did not do this nor did the Com
missioners Of this county in their Election
Proclamation state that any Assessor was to
be elected. 1t is understood, however, that
LAWYER Deale believes that the part of the
law making the Office OF Assessor,'a four-y
term will not hold. Others disagree with
him, and the Attorney General states that it
is opinion that all Assessors elected after the
law went into effect do hold office for four
years. The Supreme Court, it will be re
membercd, decided that part Of the bill un-
constitutional that placed an Assessor then
holding Office in the position for four years;
that is, the decision was to the effect that the
Legislature could not extend the term Of any
sfice holder in Office before the bill was pass
ed. Attorney General Alexander gives it as
his opinion that the Supreme Court meant to
have said that Assessors elected after the bill
became a law should hold the Office fer four

The Mason Valley ballot box con
tanning the election returns came in secure
locked but the key was missing and could
got be found anywhere. The box was
therefore broken open, and safe inside was
found the key. The hole through which
the ballots are thrust was not large enough
to admit the key and had therefore been whit
tied to convenient size. This reminds us
OF story that John B. Cough used to tell
when delivering his lecture on bulls and
Blunders." A country cooper was having
a rather tough time putting a head in a
large barrel; the head would continually
fall through, and the cooper worked himself
into great passion. His son was standing
close by witnessing the performance, when
his fathers eye rested upon him. A bright
idea struck the old man, and calling the boy
he put him into the barrel to hold up the
head while he drove down the hoops. The
barrel was completed, but the boy was in
side, and the barrel was so close that he
nearly smothered before his father compre
hended the situation and released him.

One of the Presidents latest vetoes
is of a bill granting pension to an ex-
soldier, who was mustered out in 1865
without having made any claim of dis
ability, but in 1880 applied for PEN
sion, alleging that he had been struck
with a brick by comrade with whom
he had got into row and injured in
his left arm. The President naturally
agrees with the Pension Bureau that
this does not constitute valid claim
to public assistance and adds the re-
mark: 81 believe that if the veterans
of the war knew all that was going on
in the way of granting pensions by
private bills they would be more dis
gusted than any other class of our citi-
zens." A great part Of these private
pension bills are indeed gross wrong
and an insult to the proud name of an
American soldier, and for party con-
vention to condemn the President for
vetoing them shows an utter inability
to understand how every true soldier
must reg ard Them

the oats, grass and corn. But several
farmers got their corn in too early and
tie frost bit it and they had to replant
and have very good stand. The re
is not very much wheat raised in this

We are having very wet weather.
We are not able to work our corn only
a day now and then.
Our cats and grass are down
very badly, but hope to have some fine
weather 10 bring them up again before
harvesting, which will be in about
three weeks.

show for apples.

the weeds. I don't know which will
take the lead.

We see that Mr.. Geo. II. Benton, OF
Poplar Bluff, has announced himself a
candidate for Judge of the st. Louis
Court of Appeals. He is an able law
yer and man of integrity; but has
been for years the attorney of the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern Rail
road, and this fact will disqualify him
for the position he seeks, in the eyes of
good many old-fashioned folk who
believe that corporations have already
too strong grip upon the affections OF
the courts. 1t is scarcely possible for
one to be long in the employ of a cor
poration Or an individual without inn
billing more or less bias favorab BILE to
that man or corporation. Especially is
this true of one in the legal practical
profession with its landmarks and dan
ger signals. it is true, but yet the least
fixed in its general application, of all
the arts and sciences. In the admin
istration of the law, the minds of our
judges ought to be as nearly entirely
free from external, or unknoaUn and
unsupported, internal influence as pos
sible. Honesty and integrity are, OF
course, necessary, and no one will deny
both these attributes to Mr. Benton, for
wherever known he is respected as pos
sessing both, and admired for his men
tai and legal attainments. AS Judge
of the Court of Appeals, his acts in in
tention would be honorable to himself
and his constituents; but the unsus-
pected bias could hardly fail to be there
all the same-and the greater because
unknown to the Judge himself.
