Some Other Reforms That are
Needed,

The fee system should be abolish
ed in our public business as far as
possible and replaced by fixed sal
aries for the offices Clerks, registers
and sheriffs should have fixed SAL
aries, and whatever fees accrue to
the office should be covered into
the State or county treasury. Let
the chief officers and their necessary
assistants be paid salaries common
surate to the work required OF them
The Sheriff g term of Office should
be extended to four years. He is
scarcely installed in Office till it is
time to begin to prepare to move out,
under the present short two years
term.
There is q prospect of tae term for
County Commissioners being extend.
ed to six years. with the election of
one member every other year, This
is a most important change that
should be made by the present
legislature.

who Gets the Protitp

Mr.. EDITOR Some days ago We sent a
beef hide 10 the Rising Sun market. the
weight of the hide was City lbs. for which
we received one dollar, two cents per ID.
The same day boy sold polecat hide for
one dollar and twenty-five cents, which was
twenty-five cents more than we got for a
nice beef hide. While in town we purchas-
ed piece Of leather from shoemaker 10

was two inches wide and ten inches long.
and he charged twenty-five cents for it and
SAN: there was nothing in il for him. Now
II the hide We SID for one dollar was tanned
and cut up into pieces for p-,mp buckets, 1t
would amount to thirty dollars. 1t woa..ss

got from Eve to seven cents per ID. for our
beef hides and could purchase the very best
leather from one to two cents less than We
can get il now. Now, Mr.. Editor. is ii any

II % jurymen are not sufficient to
keep business running increase the
number to SO. In any event stop the
abominable practice the end of which
is todeieat justice, of allowing lawyers
to challenge jurors. The court and
clerk have the selection of the men
who compose the jury and it is their
care to select none but intelligent.
conscientious men and those men
are competent to determine all cases

defeating justice the lawyer who has

imposition on the public and cries

The Man or the Dollar.

Politically men divide on the tariff
which may affect them few cents,
while they ignore the cause which
affects them by many dollars. And
The old parties so intend 1t. Votes
shift from one party to the other in
. vain attempt to improve their con.
dition; bat the Jay Gould class con-
tribute the campaign funds to both
parties for bands, torch lights and
red fac, and when the glare and
noise is over this class are victorious
which every party wins. Prices con-
tinue to fall, large monopoliea
absorb the small merchants, the big
blocks of capital wipe out and absorb
the small blocks, the wage.workel
and toiler yield 1.-THE in every
article consumed.
The issue of the next Presidential
campaign will be the money question
first, tariff second. The Republican
party will take high tariff protection
and the present gold dollar standard
for their platform; the Democrat
party, DIVIDED in its convention, will
take the same money standard and
low tariff or tariff reform. The
Peoples Party win advocate money
at cost and that no industry shall
be built up at the expense OF another
industry. In 1892 it will again be q
question Of the man or the dollar
The old parties are for the dollar
before the man. Andrew jackson
sounded it in 1882 and the people
won; thirty years later Abraham
Lincoln sounded it and the people
won. Another thirty years have
now gone, the man of the hour
divinely chosen is again coming to
the front to sound the same issue,
the man or the dollar.--BunEer HILL

Union Of Forcaa.

Under this caption We publish on
the fourth page highly instructive
and interesting article Of DR.. De La
Matyr, which be publishes in the
New York Voice. the leading paper
Of the small coterie who have the
machinery OF the vanishing Prohibi-
ton party in their hands. That
little coterie is all that stands in the
way and obstructs the solid union of
the prohibition element Of the ooun-
try with the great reform movement
which is being led by the agricultural
organizations. The Voice while
persistently denying it leaves no
opportunity unimproved to put in .
good word for the Wall street gang.
In this it is in thorough accord with
the old party dailies. They, every
one of them, deny their alliance with
the money power, but steadily assist

practices. They rage against monop-

Government Telegraph and Postal

There are three matters Of legis,,s.
ton that would strike the popular
chord and make their promoters
immortal, but there is not sand
enough in the majority OF either
house of Congress to adopt them.
One is the assuming by government
of our entire telegraph system, and

throat of the entire commercial,
social and industrial interests OF
sixty.five millions of people. Another
is the establishment of postal savings
banks, q proposition long since talk
ed of but never adopted out of fear
of the politicians. The people who
now look with suspicion upon all
savings banks. would never hesitate
to invest their money with Uncle
Sam. The third piece Of legislation
should be the election of United
