The Calf Case Settled.

BURLINGTON, Iowa, Sept. 29.-The
Jones calf case which has long been a
cause ce1ebre in this section, aud which, in
the length and variety of It's proceedings
has threatened to rival Jarndyce versus
Jarudyce, has at last been settled. The
iury, after being out eighteen hours,
returned verdict of $1,000 damages for
the plaintiff.
The case was first begun in 1874, when
a man named Potter bought five calves
Of Robert johnson for S45. The ami.
mails we're shortly afterwards identified
as having belonged to various farmers in
the vicinity, from whom they had been
stolen. As g. result, the Jones County
Anti.Horse Thief Society charged John.
son with the robbery, and in the fall of
the year be was indicted. In the follow.
ing February be was again indicted for
the same ofense. In the first trial the
Jury disagreed, but in the second john
son was acquitted. Soon after his
acuuittal he began suit against two
farmers named Miller and Foreman and
six other prominent members of the
society which had caused his arrest,
claiming $4,000 damages for malicious
prosecution. This case was tried three
times in various District Courts, johnson
each time receiving a verdict awarding
him from $4,000 to $1,000. In 1888 it
was tried in Biackhawk County, and a
verdict of $1,000 damages rendered,
which was, however, set aside BY the
Supreme Court. Tn 1886 verdict for
$1,000 was obtained b. Johnson, which
was, however, Bet aside by the Supreme
Court. and the case remanded for trial.
This last trial was completed yesterday.
During the progress of the various trials
the court coats alone have amounted to
more than $4,000, while the attorneys
fees have been more than three times
that amount. johnson has been driven
into insolvency, while the defendants are
almost penniless.

gether it is very readable paper, and
not go unlike our modern papers as one
would imagine. Literature has not
changed like inventions and contrivances.
We have now no authors superior to
Shakespeare and Addison, and Walter
Scott, and Goldsmith, and Bacon, and
johnson, and don't suppose we ever
will have. We have no poets that will
compare with Tom Moore, and Burns,
and Byron. Most all of our advance.

Speaking of the old times, | am
reminded Of older times still, for have
before me newspaper that is dated
August 10th, 1773. 1t is the "Maryland
Journal and Baltimore Advertiser," and
has long communication from George
Washington, who was booming his lands,
twenty thousand acres) on the Kanawha
river and wanted to lease them to settlers
I notice that the letter S is all right at
the end of word, but is al F elsewhere.
For instance, the paper says, "The tloop
Miffilfippi arrived from Penfacola and
the captain fays the parton with his party
from New Jeriey are fately arrived and
have began their fettlement."
An advertisement says, Kan away
fro,n the fubscriber fometime laft fpring
nv negro man Prince, tall film fellow,
with feveral hacks in his forehead, who
ever fecures him fhall have five pounds" /"
Another man advertises that he has
''pocket of hops for sale and defires te
purchate negro girl about twelve years
old"
There is q big snake story and cas-.
ualty about boy playing with a pistol
and an article against the fashions and an
'ad' saying the mail will be sent to Phil
adelphia once a week on horseback.
Think of that. The mail from Baltimore
to Philadelphia carried on horse once q
week. One hundred and fifteen years
have passed since then and there are
some towns left yet where the horse mail
goes once week. There is o splendid

IT is understood that the Inspectors
who were sent here to receive bids for
new postoffice premises have accepted
an offer for suitable building which
is to be erected on Fort street, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh. We are in
formed that property-holders in that
vicinity have subscribed $4,000 to
erect the building on the lot, and the
whole is to be leased to the Govern
ment for five years rent free Every
one will admit that the
location is altogether too remote
at present from the business
centre to accommodate those who
have the most to do with the post
office. The Government accepts this
offer because it gets the building free
of rent. That seems to be the anima-
ting reason. The accommodation OF
the public figures for nothing in its
conclusions. On the same principle,
if a syndicate OF property holders at
Agricultural Park or on Angeleno
Heights had offered a good building
with premium in money, the post
office would have gone to one OF those
places. 1t is humiliating to think
that the United States Government,
which is nonplussed to know what it
shall do with its surplus of
several hundred millions of dollars,
resorts to this poorly veiled kind of
mendicancy. Why should not the
Government go into the market and
lease the premises it requires for its
business on the same terms that pr-
vate individuals have to submit TO?
1t undertakes to accommodate the
people in mail matters, and receives
the legal fee for every service it per-
forms. By what right does it pur-
sue a Cheap John policy which
unnecessarily inconvenience those
whom it is insti uted for the express
purpose OF conveniencing? The post
Office should be located where it
would do the most good, not where it
can get the cheapest quarters. If
that is in the business center of the
city, then place should be had
there, even il the Government should
have to pay as high rent for it as is
paid for like accommodations by pri-
vate individuals.

THE City Hall site seems to be a
sort OF irrepressible conflict. Never
was an editice so bewitched in an
effort to get for itself a local habita-
ton. Thus far the name is all it has
achieved after many years of agita-
ton and agony. If it could ever get
beyond the shadewy and ghost-like
condition it is now in, and could
speak, its first utterance would be,
Have I go. 'em again ?" as it con-
templated its devious path and
many perigrinations from an idea
to a fact. The proposition to
leave second Getty hole"
as monument OF municipal instabil-
ity of purpose on Fort street, near
Second, and 90 dig a third pi fall on
the st. Vincent block, had hardly
been killed, when before it was cold
there comes up q new suggestion to
swap the city's property, clock, stock
and barrol," $50 feet on Fort and 62
with the building on Second, for a
lot on the corner OF Temple and Fort.
No specifications as to the size of this
property have thus far fallen under our
observation. But waving all ques.
'tion of relative value, what is
to be gained by this swap ?
Will some friend OF the scheme
explain? And as to value, if the lot
on the corner of Fort and Temple is Of
the same area as the city's lot on Fort
below Second, then an even trade
would be to the great disadvantage ot
the municipality. Fort street below
Second is a fine thoroughfare. 1t il
being made one Of the widest in the
CITY,. North Of Temple this street is q
cul.de-sac. Property at this point il
not worth half SO much as that below
Second. But truce to real estate es.

posit $50 for his appearance.

ENGLAND is reported to be contem-
plating the reinfo cement of her Pa
cific squadron with the view OF pro-
tecting British sealing vessels in
Behring Sea. In the same connec-
ton the statement is made that the
British Admiral in command of the
fleet said recently while on visit to
Canada, that had he been near when
| the Corwin had seized the Canadian
fishing smacks in Alaskan waters, he
"would have given the Yankee
cruiser sample Of what British JUS
tice is" The dispatch bearing the
news. which is dated at Ottawa, goes
on to say: "The Admiral is said to
be a hot-headed old sailor, and it
would surprise no one to learn that
he had got Great Britain into some
sort of a squabble before the summer
is over" Very well. If he does, we
will soon settle this Fisheries
difficulty, and in such heroic
manner that it will not come
up again. We do not mind
making public the plan on which We
will operate. 1t is very simple. We
shall march an army of occupation
into the Dominion and confiscate the
whole business. The starry flag will
be hoisted over every inch Of British
ground to the north pole. The Islands
and their fisheries will be treated as
the main land is, and than there will
no longer be any "Blue noses"
to dispute about their paltry
pound of bait. We will con-
vert the whole population into
the most pronounced Yankees. They
will not like it at first. Liberty is like
Caviar" "Katisha" and many
other good things-an acquired taste.
But acquired tastes are the most
positive after they become from habit
second nature; and in a generation or
two the Dominion will be recon-
structed into six or seven of the
staunchest States" in the American
Union. The fiery old British sea-dog
who is to get these two Governments
by the ears will be building better
than he knows.

-
Our fellow-townsmen doctors Wal
ter Lindley and J. P. Widney have
published . neat little volume which
they have called California OF the
South" 1t may seem an ungracious
act to open with an adverse criticism
on this patriotic effort on the part OF
our fellow-citizens; but it is hard to
avoid the reflection that simpler
form of the phrase would have furn-
ished us with a more appropriate
name. "South California" has come
to be pretty generally recognized as
the proper appellation for this region.
The book is divided into three
parts, the first OF which is on the China
tology Of the Coast. In this particu-
lar reference is had to the climate Of
our own section, and that with espe-
cial attention to its bearings on health
and disease. The chronological intluen-
ces OF climate are also treated with
much elaboration. This portion of
the work is from the pen of DR.. Wild
ney. In the second part DR.. Lindley
tells tourist how to get to Los Angeles
and other points in South California,
and what they will find,
what to see and where to see it,
when they get here. The counties
of South California are dealt with
separately and in some detail. This
part of the work is indeed guide
book. The book closes with articles
by "several hands," as the old book
makers used to say. These treat Of
our lands and their products the trees,
shrubs and flowers of this section !;
petroleum, oranges, public schools,
profits Of fruit-growing, ETC., etc. The
little volume is very neat thing in
every respect. People living here will
find in it an excellent present to send
to friends in the Fast. 1t will GER
tainly result in calling increased at
tention to our marvelously matchless
land.

4 GERRY ma n dered state.

Among people at all versed in pol
itics, it is well known that New York
State has for nearly thirty years been
the most Gerrymandered Common
wealth in the Union. A citizen of
the Empire State has taken the
trouble to make out little statistical
exhibit which appeared in the Ro-
chester Union, and from it we Gull a
few facts to show how infamously un-
Just are the methods by which the
Republicans of that State hold control
of the Legislature, and elect United
States Senators.
At the election last November 40
counties in New York went Republi-
can and Is Democratic. The census
for three decades gives the popula-
tion of these counties as follows !:
1860. 1870. 1880.

Thus the increase of population in
the Is Democratic counties exceeds
that in the AZ Republican counties, as
follows:
For l66O-1s7O. ................. 27s. .566
For 1e7O-1S2O. .,........... 361, us

While. then, in 1860, these IS Dem
ocratic counties were in a minority of
1897, as to population, in 1880 these
same counties showed an excess Of
567, ,16O over the same Republican
counties.
OF these Republican counties eight
increased in the twenty years by only
1000 each. Six others gained only
about 500 each. Six others lost in
population. Five others lost nearly
1000 each. One Of these counties has
retrograded steadily since 1850. Here
are half the Republican counties
which have been practically station
ary or worse still, going back for a
whole generation. And yet the Re-
publican Legislatures will not consent
to redistrict the State. The writer in
the Union says:
The figures are so interesting, let us
pursue them further. Grouping the
Republican counties in three groups,
. Northeastern Trans Mohawk, South
eastern, and a Western, we get the
following exhibit:
