Muse, of the Ottumwa Courier, well
presents the situation Of the common
enemy of mankind when he says: "If
the propositions are true that"the voice
Of the:people is the voice of God" and
that "God hates liar." the Democratic
party will have terrible vengeance
wreaked upon them in the year Of our
Lord 1892. The masses are very much
like the old Quaker who said "If man
deceive thee once, shame on him, but il
he deceive thee twice, shame on thy.
self" The American people do starnge
things sometimes, but they never re-
tain men In power but q short time
who obtained their position by deceit.
The democrats cried Advance OF
prices" two years ago. The republi-
cans said time would show the falsity
OF the prediction. Democrats said we
would pay more for tin, more fIr pearl
buttons, more for everything. Their
predictions have utterly failed. They
called reciprocity free trade and de.
clared that the republicans were SIM
ply appropriating their doctrine. Yet
their congressman endeRvored to an

their own doctrine as they first alleged.

NEW SHARON, May 28.-The thir-
teenth annual commencement of our

sion of the greatest interest in every
way. The attendance, as usual, was
large, and the matter presented by the
class of a most satisfactory character.
The class numbered nineteen-thirteen
girls and six boys, the. largest class yet
sent out, believe, from our schools,
and one of the best.
The class and the topics spoken upon
were as follows:
Indebtedness and Duty, Ella Allen
Home. Swt ct Home, Elsie s. Boyd
Barnacles, VIII A. Bryan
America for Americans. Clyde COnaway
Woman in Politics, Flora Dixon

There was plenty of good music-the
Penn college quartette were here, and
trio-Misses Andre, Hammond and
McOaulley.
Our schools are in the excellent care
of an able board, who take care anC
pride in the work, and the schools ar'
now in the most satisfactory condition
1t makes our taxes quite heavy to sup

the burden cheerfully, for they know
that nothing pays better than education
of the sensible sort. The corps Of

The action of Judge WOolson. IN
the matter of bar quet to the jury by
Newton, the railroad president, was
severe and harsh, but he could not do
otherwise, and protect the dignity of
the court. Newton and his attorneys,
however, should be reached with a
heavy hand for trapping the jury into
such an unpleasant condition, and
bringing upon honest men such stigma
that does not fairly belong to them.

Chairman Mack has said that every
Iowa delegate to the national conven.
tion at Minneapolis but one will vote
for the Reorganization of President
Harrison. lie could also say that the
sentiment at the state convention was
so strong for the denomination of
Pres. Harrison that no delegate known
to be opposed to him, could have been
elected. The Iowa Republicans were
and are for Harrison, Notwithstanding
the sounding of tin horns in the east

nomination, and will not have it.

SOMETHING ABOUT FEES.
HOW COSTS PILE UP IN PETTY CASE

HOW COSTS PILE UP IN PETTY CASE
FAT sLICING FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN
IT.
An active and enterprising justice of
the peace can make his Office snap
with lots of dollars in it-if he wants
to throw out his muck rake and gather
in all that may be found and used in
his little mill. The raid on the mer-
chants and dealers started on Tuesday
from the mill of Squire Smith, can be
used as an illustration of the way costs
crawl up. There were some thirty
five warrants issued and serVed-and
with each case these certain costs were
made:
Docketing the case. 80 cents
Information and jurat. so cents
Warrant of arrest. so cents
1nuance. e...................5 90 cents |
rance bond .............5 so cents
: In each case, these preliminary costs,
where the appearances are made are |
certain. And in addition the constable |
comes in for fees to this sort of time: |
On warrant. ...................70 70 cents |
On mileage, 10 cents per mile. 10 cents |
Attending trial. al................$1.O 90
In addition, if there is trial by jury |
there is fee for venire, 2S cents, and 81 |
for every 6 hours in jury trial. For
entering judgments without jury, 80
C ,nts; with a jury. 81. 50.-and each
jaryman gets dollar day. The con-
stable also gets 50 per day for each
jury trial. 1t will be seen that the
field is one rich in fees and fatness, and
it was for that reason that an effort
was made in the last legislature to
make these offices salaried ones,-in
order to save needless and extravagant
costs put upon comparatively defense.
less people and the county cost. ThGse
petty raid cases, it will be seen, will
amount to quite a snug sum,-$4 So
each on the first whit-and II the costs
could not be made off defendants, or
they were cleared, they would come off
the county. 1t is gratifying to know
hat County Attorney Preston refuses
to have anything to do with the cases,
and says that it will be long day be-
fore such possible fee bills are allowed
by the Board. The just public will be
glad to know the Jordan ahead will be
made rocky against the success Of this
sort of work-instigated by petty spite,
and made the means of grabbing need
less and unnecessary fees by the Of
fcials concerned. The public will not
and ought not brook it, and the men
may as we'll heed the sign
and be wise in time. The business
community of this city is altogether
too big thing to be pirated upon in
the manner that is here attempted.

WHERE. Once in a while q bright
boy or girl puts a question that makes
an older head scratch to answer. One
that frequently gives such trouble.
"where does the day begin" has been
concisely and intelligently explained.
1t was problem which once bothered
the scientists. The sun is rising In some
part or other Of the globe every mo-
ment, In some part or other or the
globe the sun is always setting or on the
meridian. Therefore it is daylight al.
ways somewhere. Yet it was necess-
airy to select a conventional starting
point for the day. 1t was desirable too,
that the place of transition should be
in the ocean. at last the chief coun-
tries of the world agreed that the
change of day should take place along
line drawn nearly north and south
through the Pacific ocean. This is
called the date line. Under this ar
rangement the new day is considered
to make its advent on Easter Island.
This island is west Of Chill, and about
third Of the distance between that
country and New Zsaland. Thus
when it is Sunday on the American
continent it is Monday on Easter Is
land. That island and the places TO the
weat of It along the date line always
keep ahead OF as one day. This il
why on Sunday in Oskaloosa It va
Monday forenoon In Melbourne At thl
same instant OF absolute time.

A SAD DEATH.-"An humble boy
with shining pail went gaily singing
down the dale to where the cow with q
brindle tail on the clover pasture did
regale. A bumblebee did gaiIy sail
over the soft and shady vale to where
the boy with shining pail was milking
the COW with brindle tail. The bee
lit down on the cows left ear, her heels
few up through the atmosphere, and
through the leaves Of chestnut tree
the boy scared into eternity" The
above ode was written by Sam Evans,
Of the Ottumwa Sun, at one sitting and
3 half--the half being used In deciding
whether the tree should be chestnut
or basswood.

GLASS DAY.

.. Fl. g. go "AT HOME" TO TIE PUBLIC.
Class '92 went out of the high school
this Friday afternoon with colors fly
ing. Glass '93 had the decorations in
hand and they fairly outdid themselves.
On the front wall on green background
was the motto Ia large white letters,
"He who climbs high endangers many
a fall" Under this, as if to prove its
significance was a ladder with "92"
falling down from the highest round.
A moon of "green cheese" also adorned
the front wall, typitying where the
name of '92 was to be found. To the
right Of this was large floral spoon to
illustrate saying of girl of '92 -'the
great horn spoon" Hanging from a
string between two posts were the
Easter eggs received by the girls of '92
from one of the teachers. The usual
good luck shoe made a corner conspic-
uouS, and the room was most beauti.
fully trimmed in lilacs, may blossoms
and snowballs. All the decorations
were very tasty and showed a skill of
which a professional might well be
proud. The following was the pro-
gram:
QLartette B class
SalutatOry Rose Newbrand
Glass poem Mary Finley
Music-stringed instruments
Phinney's Mandolin Club
Alpha and Omega Hal E. Scruggs
Medley Walter Fitch
Solo Rose Graham
Will Carrie Haskell
"a" class song
"B" class reply Dot Phillips
Valedictory Guy Kissick
"B" class song.
During the reading of the will the
AS presented the BIS with various
comical presents. at the close of the
BIS reply the B class presented the AS
with pretty souvenir spoons bearing
the engraving "93 to '02". The class
songs were particularly amusing. Miss
Halle Scruggs and Warren Kalbach
composed the A song, and Misses
Maude Beaudry and Rose Graham that
of the BIS.
A striking feature of the entire pro-
gram was the originality of every part.
The class spirit has been marked
throughout this year and it would do
credit to college classes.
The room vas packed with an audi
ence of friends and relatives, and all
voted the day grand success.

THE HALL.-One of the railway
boys was up at Minneapolis last week,
and looked over the great convention
hall. He says: "The convention hall
is now practically complete, and the
arrangements for seating, egress, etc.
are very satisfactory, while the acous-
tic properties are first class. When
the hall is filed with 1900 or 12OO3
auditors the farthest man will be 225
feet from the stage, and under ordinary
circumstances can hear a whisper, and
have good chance to.see all that Is to
be seen. For the newspapers the ar
rangements are practically perfect.
The telegraph facilities are believed to
be as ample as at.any national conven-
tion, and equal to any demand that the
exciting event may create"
