AN INCIPIENT BLAZE.

The Office of DIR. j. w. Talbot,
was visited by fire bug last night
who applied the match toa lot of
loose papers and medical briefs,
kept in a small closet in one of the
rooms connected with the Office.
His Office is over the Smith Drug
Company's store, and is we'll fitted
up with furniture, carpets, ETC.,
contains a good library and sur
geons operating instruments, the
whole valued at 1880 or $1,000.
The doctor does not carry any in
surance aud he did not have fire in
his office during the entire day, yes
terday, and all who have viewed the
place where the fire started think
it the work of an incendiary. 1t
was l2:45 when the blaze was dis
covered and it was only a short
time afterwards until the fire com-
panies were on the ground throw
ing water through the side windows
on the burning papers and soon had
the flames out. The damage done
by fire will be slight, compared to
that by water running through the
floor to the drug store beneath.
The Smith Drug Company is fully
insured, and the damage will be
normal. The fire companies did
good service and are to be compli-
mented We are glad the damages
are no heavier than they we're.
Our next State legislature will be
progressive one, if we can judge
by the moves being made on the
outside, in pre- pairing bills to be in
troduced during the sitting Of the
legislature. Representative Geo
G. Naylor will submit bill for the
construction of state railroads.
The feature of the bill provides for
lines north and south and east and
west, routes to be chosen according
to the substantial cooperation Of
fered first by the people of the line.
For instance, If two or more routes
are in view the selection will be gov
erned by the promptness OF the peo-
pie in raising a bonus of $l0O, 900,
those raising it first to be the fa-
vored ones. The bill provides for
the services OF 800 convicts on the
construction work. An appropria-
ton of 100000 out Of funds al
ready in the treasury is provided
for.

wanted. Thus we see, it cost the county
about $780, to try thirty dollar law
suit; and this is but sample of the
way in which public busin ess is con-
Quoted, and it gives us a faint idea of
what it would cost the county if the
quarterly court really had much bust
ness to transact.
Their quarterly attendance amounted
last year to $l062,45 and the year before
it ran up to $l742,57. This is exclusive
of all other sums except the per diem
and does not include the various sums
paid out to committees app ointed from
among themselves and mileage They
pay the county chairman $500, per an
nun, which is small enough for the du-
ties of the Office, which are far more
onerous and important than all the COM
bined business of the quarterly court
There can be no question in the mind
of any man who has loo ked into the
subject, but that such bus mess as is
generally transacted by the quarterly
court can be more satisfactorily and
more economically administered by
three or five commissioners, who should
be elected by the people.
Out side of the filling of a great many
small offices and the selection of the
venire, there is not great deal of bust
ness to be done, and three men could do
it in less time and at far less expense
than fifty-two. Even now great part
of the business is done by committees
appointed by the court, who in many
cases are paid out of all proportion to
their services.
Those powers and duties above enum-
Grated as judicial, and which are now
exercised by the chairman, should be
vested in county Judge elected by the
people.
This county judge could also be vested
with criminal jurisdiction as pointed
out in former articles on the reforms in
the administration of our criminal laws.
We urge this reform especially upon
the earnest attention of the people, and
we hope there are few whose prejudice,
self-interest or traditional attachment
will close their eyes to the merits of this
questions. Our own experience has
taught us the extravaganza and inefii-
cheney of the present yste m; the exam
pie of all other progressive states ex-
hort us to discard it, and the current of
authority and the weight of reason is
against so large and responsible a
body for county government

of small officers, such as county sur
veyor, coroners, public administrators,
notories public, road commissioners,
fish commissioners, poor-house COM
missioners, uperntendent of turn
pike, and many others which consume
large portion of the time and a great
part Of the energies of the County Court,
Those duties and powers which are
judicial are almost entirely performed
by the chairman or county judge, and
those which are legislative and minis
terial by the quarterly court.
1t is not often, however, that much
business of Importance comes before the
quarterly court. They spend most Of
their time in electing officers, appoint
ing jurors, making small appropria-
tions, changing district lines, hearing
road cases, &c.
Business of any Importance is gener-
ally performed by committees appoint
ed by the court from their own mem
bers, which duties are made palatable
by compensation paid out of the county
revenue.
For instance, the construction, or even
repair of bridge in the county is an
opportunity for a committee with a
compensation attached, and one is APP
pointed by the court from their own
number. Last year the County Court
appropriated $466,SO to pay these various
bridge committees simply to look after
the construction or repair of bridges.
The quarterly court exercises some
powers judicial in their nature; for in
stance, they hear all appeals from the
Road Commissioners; and the fact that
it is an exceedingly cumbrous and alto
gether an unfit body to sit as court,
cannot be denied by anyone who has
ever attended their sessions.
During the hearing of cause the
magistrates come and go, and when the
time to vote comes great many haven't
beard enough to vote intelligently
on the subject, but their vote is just
as potent in determining the issue as the
vote of that magistrate who may have
heard the whole case patiently and con-
sidered it conscientiously. And another
thing. 1t is very expensive to the
county to try case before this court

have a case in mind where there
was an appeal from the verdict of a

on opening a road. The difference be-
tween the verdict and the amount

thirty dollars, and yet the court spent
two days trying the case at a cost to the
county Of about one hundred and fifty

THOSE hopeful goldites who
thought when they had elected Nc
Kinley-or more properly speak
ing, had counted him ln-that
they had settled the silver ques-
ton, have doubtless begun to realize
by now that the battle has just be-
gun; for just as certain as the in
dependence of the American col
onios was never settled until it was
settled right; and just as certain as
the slavery question was never set
tied until it was settled right;
Just so certain is it that the
question of bimetallism will
never be settled until it is set
tied right. Bearing upon this ques-
ton, is the action taken in Wash
ington this week by the silver Re-
publicans, who issued an address
calling for convention to be held
in Chicago next June for the pur-
pose of organization for 1900. The
address is signed by no less dis

more dangerous wounds than its

by his blindness and deafness to the

largely to the people who pay the

there is some consolation in the fact
that the taxpayers are being saved
