A FARCE COMEDY.

The failure of the Ramsey county
grand jury to indict John J. Rhodes,
of coal conspiracy fame, and the re,
cent acquittal of a Ramsey county Of
fetal of the charge of wrongfully ex-
torting money from the county, are
but further proofs that the jury sys-
tenn, in good many cases., is but a
farce comedy. They are illustrations
that strong underlying influences,
which if brought to the surface, would
shake the world, are constantly at
work on jurors particularly in the
large. cities of the country.
The failure to indict Rhodes, the
King bee of the coal conspiracy, is
not only a deplorable incident, but
brings discredit to a grand jury of "A
men. The evidence taken before the
Investigating committee was alone
sufficient, in the eyes of the people of
the State, for indictment and convic-
ton, and that the Ramsey county jury
could not or would not look at it in
that way, is a disgrace to the people
of the county and the State, and var
rants the statement that the underly-
ing influence was at work on the jury.
Rhodes cynical contempt for the
law is yet fresh in the minds of the
people. His wilful perjury was as
plain as the face of the heavens, and
yet this Ramsey county grand jury
informs the world that his crimes
were not sufficient to constitute
grounds for prosecution. The action
shows degradation rather than an
elevation of the human race-a depth
of degradation to which Ramsey
county officials frequently fall.

United States Senator Kirby of
South Carolina, is alleged to have as
sisted in the lynching of negro who
assailed a little girl, last Thursday.
While we have no sympathy for the
inhuman wretch, it does seem that a
Z. S. Senator's assistance in such an
act, is straining the law far beyond
the extreme.

POINT REMOVE, Aug. 1S.-Health IS generally good in our community .. Crops are splendid, but the drouth has cut off cotton and late corn some =. Farmers have gone in debt less this year than eyer before. Now if the merchants would quit bringing on meat and tobac- co the farmers would get out of debt in the course of few years. Tame grass and clover have done fine in this section this year, but very little wheat was sown, result was about one-half crop. x. Esq. Black is progressing finely with his part of the bridge across Point Re- move. If nothing prevents he will com plete the piers in two weeks. Col. Sibley of Atkins has the most of the timber for the approaches on the ground ready to proceed with hIs part of the work as soon as the piers are done

I think by all means we ought to have one, and that by the second Saturday in September. 1 would like to hear through the DEMOCRAT from Capt. Peeler what he thinks about it | heard to-day of the death of Col. Ben Young. I would like to know if he died hap py, and if he had his fishhooks with him when the grim monster approach ed; also if he was in his office or beside the shady brook. l have been asked several times whether 1 will be candidate in the next campaign. I will if want to. Suffice it to say, that I intend to take more interest in the next election than 1 did in the last one. I don't expect to vote for but one man that now holds office and he may be dead. If he is alive, the first two letters of his name is Ben Young. And if he don't make good officer might scratch him. What I want is a new set of can didates from A to Izzard, except one MT. J. F. Darr and part of his family spent yesterday visiting us.
