FOR A STRAIGHT TICKET.
An Interview with MT. J. ". Tucker, of Dudley Lake Township, On the
 Straight Ticket Proposition.


 Mr. J W. Tucker, one of the Iarges planters in Dudley Lake township, was in the city Saturday. Meeting him at the Courthouse Saturday evening, GRAPHIC reporter asked him how he stood on the straight ticket proposition.
 'I am in favor of it, said Mr. Tucker.
 "Why?o asked the reporter.
 Because, he replied, t1 think it to the best interests of our county" !"
 What effect will q straight ticket have on laSor?" next asked the reporter
 .'l think it will have very bene- fetal effect, was the reply. Continu. ing he said. "The negroes seem to he more satisfied and are better labor CTS and demand less of us when out of politics than when distracted by them. The negroes in my section are taking no interest in politics and 1 have had less of them to ask me to pay their poll-taX than ever before. There are about twenty negro voters on my place, and only two or three of them have paid their poll-taxes. Among the Democrats in the town ship the sentiment is unanimous for q straight ticket, and l have vet to hear single Democrat express him. self i'll favor of q compromise.
 Mir. Asa Watson. of the same township, who was present during the interview, said that the above expressed his sentiments exactly and that he would endorse every word said.

 Our Magistrates.

peace of Vaugine township have made as according to the recent de cislon of the grand jury, is a rebuke to their administration of justice.
 We are greatly surprised to learn that thirteen prisoners were dis missed from the county jail last week on account of the charges as set forth in the indictments beingnot well founded.
 Now, Jefferson county has paid for their board and lodging since they have been in prison, and the grand 1 jury says that the magistrates were mistaken in their railing.
 We regret the necessity of having to record such proceedings. Itis un- doubtedly a rebuke to the justices Of the peace who seem not to know what is expected of them as the rep resentatives elect of the people.
 It is simply a downright shame and an outrage that the taxpayers of Jefferson county should be com pelled to pay the expenses of their courts. We know that Judge Jones has in many instances ruled against their decisions.
 We are compelled to pay our taxes, but we are not compelled to pay the expenses of a magistrate who wears the toga of authority simply for l what bepa ie in if
 The magistrates of Jefferson county are responsible for our costly circuit court; they are those who send these cases to that tribunal. and it is strange that they persist in im- posing additional burdens upon d people who are already oppressed and suffering from financial depres- sion.
 "Mister nigger, :, it is claimed, is gone, but if we can't have better justices of the peace among the white population we had better turn gatling gun toward their regal thrones and externinate the entire brotherhood.
 We feel, however, that among our justices of the peace, we have some good, honest, noble, upright men, and on the contrary, we feel that some others are pure and unadult- eraetd disgrace to the calling that they try to fill.
 Let's reorganize the camp. We need to do something, and that something must be done at our next election. Popularity among his fel- lows is not qualification as a mag. istrate. Experience, education and well known legal ability should be the rule.
 For the sake of the welfare of the community let us have magistrates who will reflect honor and credit upon their calling
 Now, we are not driving at any particular magistrate in this article. but ii any of them see fit to take this medicine, we hope it will tend toward their purification.
 The Sheriff gets D cents per day for every prisoner under his charge, and if we have been board ing these thirteen prisoners for i've will say) one week, we have been taxed in that direction $9.75 per day. or, II they have been in prison one week they have cost the hard work ing citizens of Jefferson county S63.
 Now, if these facts and figures are true, these justices have caused every citizen of this county an unnecessary outlay of money. Can we afford to ee thus imposed upon?

Alderman Sinners Advice.

Several cases of typhoid fever
among residents along the San
Pedro creek are reported.
Alderman Sinner says the con-
dition of this creek in the south
ern part of the city especially, is
very filthy, and great complaint
is being made by property owners
in Englewood, Long Lake and
Beanville additions, of the sewers
allowed to run into this creek. He
says they have their redress with
Judge Noonan, of the District
court, whom he. feels sure would
grant an injunction forbidding
these sewers, if he could but once
smell the stencil arising anywhere
along this creek.
On the other hand, property own
ers living along the San Pedro
ditch on Flores street, are making
a vigorous, but apparently futile
protest against the waste CD water
pipes allowed by the City coun-
Gil to be run into this ditch in the
upper Fourth ward.

The three families have periodical
social games of "skat" at each

night the same continued until
u o'clock at Mr.. Voechting's house.
When the guests and their ladies
at length started home the sky
was overcast and it was raining
heavily, to all appearances. The
ladies borrowed umbrellas and the
gentlemen rolled up their trousers
and prepared to wade; when
after passing out the front gate the
shower ceased.
Mr.. Voechting had cut off the
supply of water from the garden
hose he had fixed up for the occa-
sion.
