3AUK CENTRE HERALD.
THURSDAY MARCH 5. 1891.
PROBATE PRINTING.

The tendency of the times is unques-
tionable in the direction of depriving
public officials of their most powerful
lever known to politics-oficial patron
age. The civil service law was enacted
to begin the good work and its efficacy
is not matter of conjecture. There is
well defined demand that more of the
state officers be elected by the people,
such as railroad and warehouse commits
sioners, state prison. board, and superin-
tendent of public instruction. Coming
closer to home, those who have attended
the recent charter meetings will remem-
Der what a strenuous effort was made to
take from the council its appointing
power, and have all the city officers elect
ed by direct vote of the people.
Carrying this idea step farther, the
HERALD endorses the proposed law that
will give to administrators of estates the
privilege of having the notices required
by law published in the papers that will.
best serve the purposes intended, instead
of Che ones that supported the probate
judge during his election canvass. The
Justice of this proposed measure cannot
be questioned, and it will meet with the
hearty approval all those interested in
the probate Of estates. The legislature
will be doing an act of simple justice by
paSsinp the law,

HON. F. E. SEARLE is making a legesla-
tive record of which he and his friends
have reason to be proud. He is the &C
kno wledged leader of the minority in the
house, and he is well-balanced, levelhead :
ed, and keen. He takes pride in his work
and no ill-advised legislation will be
spread upon the statute books if he car
help it. His bill to refund the railroad
bond indebtedness of the state, stamps
him a fInancier OF ability, as we'll as a
patriotic citizen. The state will save
nearly 5000, 900. annually in interest if
the bill becomes a law. There is no better
gubernatorial timber in the state for
1892 than Hon. Frank E. Searle of
Stearns County. No fears for the state
ticket if he heads it.

A Movable Hitching Post.

Many curious things have been done
by absent minded or thoughtless per.
sons since the world began, but it was
only recently that a man hitched bis
horse to a train of freight cars which
had stopped momentarily during the
process known as making up trains
The author Of this new idea of hitching
had gone to East Buffalo to draw q
load of tow. Arrived, he looked for q
hitehing post or a stationary object OF
some kind which would answer the pur.
pose, but seeing none noticed the mo-
tionless freight cars near by, and with
out further ado tied his rig thereto.
He had gone but short distance
when the cars started up and took the
rig along with them. Their speed was
not great, however, and after little
stroll with the train the horse was loos.
ened and taken back to it's driver
