The 9Th was 4 quiet day at the
Springs. Nothing OF interest except a
game of ball between the iiresteel and
Cherry boys, with q score 81 TO 81 in ia
yer OF the latter. Some Of The ola set
tiers held q picnic dinner in the grove
and enjoyed the day in old fashion
style
Black Hcctor's lectures on prohibi-
ton last week were very Interesting
and instructive and highly appreciated.
His original Illustrations were art and
carried the audience 10y storm. while
he Kept his hearers attention hJ his
racy anecdotes, he new. failed to
make q good point fce prohibition,
dealing hard blows right and LETT on
saloons and licence, either high or low.
We were glad To see so many OF our
farmers gathered to hear him; many
oominga long distance. even twenty 10
TIVE nty FIVE miles and we are sure
they do not regret il, for his cheering
words are q pleasant memory 10 IS all.
One of our contemporaries possessing
either the stupidity CT an ass or the
love for misrepresentation recon-
mends that our county convention be
hello at the same time that the
state congentlon and judicial delegat
are chosen The Omnibus bill provides
for x vote to be taken upon the consti-
tuition and for sach officers as are pro
yidel for in tliat constitution al the OC
tober election. Our constitution proyi~
des for the election OF but one county
officer, county Judge, with Il possible
power in the HANDS of the present con-
stitutionai convention of providing
for the election OF his clerk at the same
time. But as to al other county off
GERS the constitution is silent upon that
question except, TO delegate the power
to the legislature TO create the neces-
sary Offices and provide for al cleo
ton to Gil the same. it would be pre-
posterous to elect men under q ter
rlt0rial form ut government to hold
Offices under q state government that
no law or charter recognizes or creates.
Give the county officer question :. rest.

tress, but because deemed unfit to
live. Now the browning glory of our
century is its magnificent hospitals.
Time will be when our prisons, the dis
grace of this grand age, will be
changed to humanitarian institutions
for the control and cure of crime, in
stead of pest places for its punishment
and propagation.
Statesmen and reformers are bepin-
ming to consider that our system Of so
ciety is really accountable for moro
crime than it prevents. Judges and
juries are frequently called upon to
condemn unfortunate creatures of cir
cumstances less guilty of offense
against their fellows than those before
whom they are arraigned. Did all
wrong doors escape detection, as
doubtless the majority do, there would
be no criminals known; while if the.
consciences of men were incased in
glass all would be criminals alike.
There would be no honest men to bring
the guilty TO justice. Let all who read
reflect upon this.
He who robs you wrongs himself
worse than you. You may recovo
your property or purchase more, but he
has corrupted his conscience, ruined
his reputation, assassinated his man
hood. He has inflicted upon himself
a misfortune, while you have but sus-
tanned a ~pecuniary and perchance q
tritling loss.-S. n. Preston in Jour
