FEE AND SALARY REFORM.
VIEWS OF THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS.
A Variety of Opinions on the Subject-Gen-
eral Demand far Reform, but Some
Difference IA to De;a ls-rhs Drift
of Democratic Opinion.
Noble ConntH DEMOCRAT ]


L is undoubtedly true that it would be
better for the people, and much better,
too, for the county ofiicers-to have just
system of salaries that would reasonably
compensate for work actually required to
be done, and no more, and compensation
that is regularly paid in stated quarterly
salary. And we hope the Legislature will
be able to come close TO the accomplish
ment OF a system that will operate equita-
bly, as between all sections and counties OF
the state. And we repeat here,
that it ought to be real re-
form, and that the people OF
the state ought not TO be deceived by
demagogues, and made to believe that
something labeled reform" is what they
expected and what was promised-unless
it be really and honestly so. Whatever
the system to be adopted may be, il 1t do
not lessen the burdens upon the public
revenues-if it do not result in net saw
ing to taxpayers-it will be but a sham;
and the time will come when the pretense
must appear-to the confusion OF those
who may have resorted to merely perfume
tory fulfilment OF promise, in order TO
escape the real difficulties in the way of
substantial and logical reform. OF this
ono thing we may be perfectly as
sured in advance-that whatever may
be done by this legislature will be con-
demned, criticised and misrepresented by
the republican press throughout the state,
and We want to be able to defend it. We
want it to be as near right as pOssib e-to
carry the characteristics of u rea., substan-
tial and sensible effort for actual and BENZ
rIc1AL reform. 1t would be perfectly easy
to abolish the fee SYSTEM" and. in a
superficial sense, that a.One would be re-
spon-ive TO the popular demand. But the
people want the salary system to be a
GOOD one, an equitable one, and one that
shall accomplish reform. They want the
SPIRIT OF their demand fulfilled.

1t WI BE Reached.


The democratic party will profit or lose
by the laws passed-eood or bad, ~ the
case may be. 1t, therefore, behOOyes
democratic members to be on the alert, 10
study carefully each measure that comes
up for consideration, not alone with refer
ence to the effect il NAV have upon his
own county or district. bat with reference
to its effect in the whole state. let each
democrat remember hat his party : re-
spOnsible for his actions, and remember
too that every promise OF reform MADE IN
the democratic platform must be carried
out.
The last legislature enacted some excel
lent laws-among them the school-book
law and the election law; the former has
been more than doubly worth the cost Of
the entire session of the legislature to the
people. and the latter has, without doubt,
done the people great service--a service
far above money value. 1t has saved the
people from a vortex of political demorali-
cation and ruin into whichit was certainly
and rapidly sinking.
1t is now generally conceded that at the
present session OF the legislature fee and
sa arv law will be passed. This is one of
the things promised in the Democratic
platform. and as soon as it was known
that the party had captured the legisla-
ture, it was equally certain that the prom
Use would be redeemed. There is some
difference of opinion among prominent
Democrats of the state as TO how this re-
form of the present fee and salary system
will be reached, but it will be reached.

An Insult tn the Legislature.
Linton CALL

One reason assigned by those who are
opposing law that would reduce the
emoluments OF the officers recently elected
is that the l5O men who compose the
present legislature could not stand the
pressure that will be brought to bear
upon them by those whose incomes would
be affected by reduction. This is an in
suit to every man elected to that honor
able body and also to their constituents.
To assume that Indiana's legislature is
composed of men who can be corrupted
and the will OF the people defeated is plac-
ing a very low standard upon the charac-
ter of our lawmakers. The Cal gives
warning now that party fealty will never
coerce majority Of the people to indorse
the democratic party in Indiana if justice
be delayed by that party or its representa-
tives. We may fold our tents il we longer

Bold Burglars.

Mrs. s. Perry Youngs had decided
to take the early train Monday morn
ing, for Stanton, and about o'clock
Sunday evening, Mr.. Youpgs took her
trunk from their room at the hotel
down to the front stoop, and stepped
into the Office to get the porter to take
il to the depot. He was gone but a
moment, but on his return he was
surprised to find the trunk gone. An
alarm was given, and IA posse started
in search. Two rail road employees,
passing the large ice house near the
depot, saw the door open and two
men inside rapidly rifling trunk.
They closed the door. and had them,
like mice in a trap. On the arrival OF
the officer, but one man was in sight,
the other having attempted to hide by
crawling under the hay, with which
the ice was covered, but when he
heard the searchen prodding through
the hay with an iron bar, he squealed
and gave himself up.
The trunk was broken and every.
thing had been hastily examined. A
gold watch and case of jewelry had
been taken. and thrust back in the
trunk. without the cases. Being
caught 50 quickly nothing was lost,
except the injury to the trunk and
cases enclosed.
They were given an examination be.
fore Justice Woodburn. Monday, and
committed to Jail to wait the action OF
the Circuit Court, In default of bail.
They gave their names as Thomas
Manning and James Morrison.

Fiftieth Anniversary.

October 9TH thevrwas'a famiiygath-
ering OF the Crofoot family, at the res
idence OF Andrew Crofoota to scele-
brate the golden wedding of Andrew

Grayllng, also three grand children.
All partook of bounteous repast at
~ p. In., visiting and talking of olden
times took up the rest OF the day. Mr..
Crofoot, thinking to let the day pass
and not let old friends know of it, was
somewhat surprised at half past eight
in the evening TO see so large number
of people come in with arms full OF
nice refreshments TO help the finily
celebrate. News had come ilyiog down
from the far north, telling q. L. Chap
man of the occasion, and that was
enough; he came in with full force,
and it was a complete surprise TO all.
Letters of congratulation were received
during the day from Hugo and Hattie
Graef and Vena Jones, from Mime
apolis, all grand children. A dispatch
was also received from o friend in
Brooklyn with hest wishes. A photo
of Bob III. Mason, who is an old pio-
neer, was received and highly appre-
ciated; pair of gold glasses and shirt
stud from Hattie and Hugo Graef.
After the party had all taken their
departure for their several homes, the
siIver.locked couple were again sur
prised, by finding SO in gold upon
their dressing case.
IT'S sweet to be remembered by low
ing hearts, TIE affections OF which

lovelness. May their future pathway
be easily travelled and lighted by the
rays of knowledge which cispeI all

tion away but has conferred a con
current jurisdiction over them upor
the lower courts where the assault
is not of highly aggravated char
acter.
See Naihe v. Kuau. 4th Haw., 297
1t is not essential that it appear ir
the indictment that the accused has
been committed for trial. This is 9
matter for the presiding Justice
when examining the indictment pre-
sented to him for allowance.
If it should appear on the trial
upon the indictment that the offense
was not of highly aggravated char.
acter and that the Police Justice
might we'll have taken summary
Jurisdiction of it, this would not GUST
the Supreme Court of it's concurrent
jurisdiction. In such case the de-
fendant would not be prejudiced, for
the presiding Justice in Lne exercise
of his discretion over the punishment
would be authorized to impose pen
atty within the limits of the iurisdic-
ton of the Police Court.
The case cited by defendants
counsel, State v. Hilton. % N. H.,
285, is not in point. There, the in
dictment left out the word "knife, -
SO as the Court say ''all that part of
the indictment which went to make
the offense an aggravated assault
committed with the knife should be
rejected as surplusage. The indict-
ment was thereby left as one for a
simple assault and battery and fall
ling within the jurisdiction of JUS
tice Of the Peace to try" Upon the
statutes of New Hampshire, the
Court held that before the Court of
Criminal Pleas could take cognizance
Of an Indictment for an assault aud
battery it must appear that respond
ent had been arrested, brought be-
fore Justice of the Peace and
bound over to appear at the succeed
ing term Of the common pleas, and
that it was the intention of the sta
tute to confine the trial of common
assaults and batteries to Justice of
the Peace.
In our case the jurisdictional facts
are set forth in the Indictment, for
an offense is there set out of which
the Supreme Court has original juris-
diction, and in all such cases the
proceeding is by indictment upon a
commitment by a Police or District
Justice. This part of the procedure
it is not necessary to set out in the
Indictment any more than the fact
that the accused was arrested for
the offense upon a warrant issued
upon sworn information.
We override the plea.
