The Democrats or Republicans

ever since the days of Washington.
The formation ef our system of gov.
ernment was an accident and an eX-

ment Of America was purely aristO-
cratieal.
The colonies, in those days, we're
made up in the mother country and
prior to setting sail for America,
the king of England invariably ap-
pointed a governor over the men and
territory selected by the colony. Sew
eral of these tracts of land are now
known as states, bearing the name Of
the colonial governors. They were
governed by the laws of England.
The intent of the king was that each
colony should be independent, and
they were for a great many years. A
proof Of this isolation and independ-
ency was the issuing OF "the colonial
scrip" or money, separately. No col
Ony was responsible except for its own
currency, although it passed current
in the several colonies. During this
era or the period of the first paper

Probate Judge Naugle is another
party who should put his avOwed prlh@
ciples inte practice-if he has the
power and authority to do so. To Ill
ustrate; A lady, recently widowed, q
few days ago went to the Judge TO
begin the settlement Of her husbands
estate, and a day or so later made him
a second visit. Both visits occupied
less than thirty minutes Of his yalua-
BILE time. And for the exhaustive
effort he put forth in her behaif-Or
for the wearand tear on the machinery
Of his brain-he charged her Eighteen
Dollars and some cents. No doubt the
law gives him power 10 charge these
eXOrbitant fees-but does it not at the
same time give him authority TO
reduce them. or even TO remit them
entirely? Let's see. Wasn't Judge
Naugle one Of the few who made a
demand for a reduction Of salaries Of
county officers? and would not a de-
mand for reduction Of these enor-
nous fees be equally consistent? "YOu
know it," Well to continue; This lady
is the widow Of an Odd Fellow, "a re-
cent member of Geuda Springs lodge,
and according to the principles we
profess, it is an imperative duty of
the Odd FellOws-and Daughters Of
Rebecca-of Sumner county TO see
that the widow and orphans are pro-
tected from the mercless greed Ofour
"brother" men. 1t is disgrace to our
bOasted civilization that a court es-
tablished especially for the protection
of the helpless and afflicted should be
empowered to absorb so much Of the
pittance left them to subsist upon
and give no adequate rctuTn-Oxford

Result of Error.

Last week the Register criticised
the charges Of Probate Judge Naugle
In the case OF the estate Of Z. l.. Plank,
deceased-not giving the name OF the
case. Both the widow and friend
who had accompanied her to court re-
ported the matter, and the Regts'r
appreciating the helpless condition Oh
the family, desired TO lend helping
hand. Therefore the censure.
However, in the light OF after events
we are satisfied that an injustice has
been done Judge Naugle, and, though
caused largely by his own fault, or that
Of his clerk, we hasten to make correc-
tion.
We stated that for his services in
the case so far asllt had progressed, he
had charged eighteen dollars and some
cents. As the parties had reported 10
us-and "for about thirty minutes
work.")
The Judge wrote US for particulars,
having been unable TO identity the
case, and later sent us the bill Of fees
as Of record.
On inquiry by the lady, he had hast
lily footed up the fees and told her the
amount was $3.50. Later when nc
had leisure. he recast the column OF
figures and that in his tlrsl footing he
had made an error OF six dollars,
lhaving mistaken a figure ono for q
seven) thus reducing the amount OF
fees about One-third, OF from $3.50 to
$3.50, which, as per the fee-0ill sent
US, is less than the legal rate.
This "much ado about nething" has
therefore. all been the result OF an
error. and although inhicting little
punishment on our Probate Judge 10
the end may produce other than i'll
effects. We have learned, for instance
that Judge Naugle doesn't gobble
every dollar in sight," as we have
heard some Of his left-handed friends
charge; that he is courteous even I'm
the face of ASSAULT" that he is willing
to make wrang right aud assume the
fault of his mistakes, and that he is
doing his level best to handle theaffalrs
of his Office with credit to himself and
honor to the county. And we hope
he may be able TO carry his task
through successfully to the end

Last night Harri- son Smith was the father of eleven children. He was happy, There was but single cloud upon the horizon of his future, but he was not worried. This morning his. wife presented him with twins. Without word, Smith walked into his room, took up pistol and shot himself through the heart.
