Bill Arp, whom the boys about town
elected to the Office of coroner just out of
mischief. Bill felt highly honored, and,
as he couldn'tread the law about coroners
himself, he got the boys to read it to him,
and they garbled it so as to make Bill be
lieve that he must sit upon the dead body
in order to make it 8 legal inquest. BE
was told that he held a very responsible
position, and that he must do his duty al
all hazards. A few days after his election
travelling Snowman came to our town
with an Egyptian mummy that he placed
on exhibition at 10 cents sight The
devilish lawyers sent for Bill, and told
him with great solemnity that be had a
Casa very remarkable case, and that he
must do his duty; that there was q dead
body in town that nobody knew how or
when it become dead, and he must sum-
mon jury and set upon 1t. They read
him the law again, which said the coro-
ner should hold an inquest upon the bod
les of all dead persons where the cause of
death was unknown or where there we're
suspicious of foul play surrounding the
death. The law also authorized the cor
ouer 20 exhdme any dead body that had
been buried and to bury it again after the
examination. Bill was advised to see the
gentleman first and interview him before
summoning jury, which he did. The

We think 1t was the Monroe County sun
which said: There is "a fool idea in ~ heads
of some legislators and many people that IT Is
very popular to pass restrictive measures
against railroads and corporations. The
railroad and corporation are very much like
the individual, out for the stuff; but IL you
break them down W hat have we left IL is right
10 properly regulate them, but to hamper is
10 kill the goose that laid and 10 laying the
golden egg" The Sun was perhaps reminded
to say this by the numerous demands being
made for the next legislature To regulate the
express companies, and refers more particn-
larlv to those who are making the demands.
Ii 50, we plead guilty to owning one OF the
aforesaid .fool ideas" and We sincerely be-
lieye that the legislature should enact suen
law as will prevent a monopoly Of the busi-
ness by one company. and give the people
the benefit of competition The rates
should slso be axed at reasonable eompon-
satior.

Our state constitution should be so
amended rs to prohibit any law from
taking effect sooner than sixty or nine-
ty days after the adjournment Of the
legislature, except said act should con-
tain clause expressing an emergency
why and declaring that it should take
effect earlier. There cannot well be
greater oppression than to hold people
responsible for the violation of laws
when they do not and cannot know Ut
the ex stence OF such laws. An illus
tration OF this is in the act OF 1887,
which changed the mode of conveying
homesteads in this state. After the
passage of that law, and before 1t was
or could have been known by the peO-
pie of the state, many cnnveyances
were made which were Imperative.

colloquial names for nearly every state

has long flourished under the appella-

with several other designations more

Florida should be the Peninsular state.
and Georgia. the Empire state Of the
South; but not so envious is the desig-
nation given Illinois, the Sucker state,
or that of Indiana, the Hoosier state.
Iowa rejoices under the cognomen OF
the Hawkeye state, while the appro-
priateness of a popular name is veri-
fled by Kansas, the Garden state.
Kentucky is the Corncracker state;
Louisiana, the Pehcan, an allusion to
the coat-of-arms, while "a similar reason
has inspired the nickname given to
Maine, the Pine Tree state. Massachu-
setts is the Old Bay state; Michigan,
the Wolverine state; Minnesota, the
Gopher state. the zoology OF both fur
nishing the designations. Mississippi is
