CONSISTENCY.
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1892-12-15

The silver conference from which
so much was expected has ended IN
a fat failure, as the powers of the old
world refuse to consider the question
of bimetalhsm. While this is big
county it seems that our people are
afraid to adopt any financial system,
unless other nations will do the same.
This leads the Kansas City Journal
(rep.) to say: "It seems as though
the Populist's idea that this country
is big enough to run its own finances
is about the only correct one."

The Kansas supreme court has de-
cided that a county attorney does not
necessarily have to be a lawyer as
long as he has formal legal assistance
in prosecuting cases and where he is
recognized as county attorney by the
Judge of the district court. This
case decided was from Ottawa coun-
ty. The decision while probably &C
cording to law, is hardly upheld by
common sense people. If this is
good law 1t is not necessary to have a
school teacher for county superin-
tendent or a surveyor for county sur
Veyor.
