Sheriff Not Restricted.

Mr.. EDITOR:
am informed that talk is being
INDUCED in to the effect that the
Sheriff lie restricted and hampered by
the County Attorney in making search
for parties against whom a warrant
has been issued and placed <ehis
hands.
Such talk is absurd and foolish. 1t
is the duty of the County Attorney to
file complaint and have a warrant
issued and placed in the hands of a
constable or sheriff. if justified by the
facts. It then becomes the duty of
the constable or sheriff to make dill
gent search to find and arrest the party
charged with the offense, the county
attorney being in no way responsible
for the acts and doings of such officers
They are at liberty to exercise their
own judgement in searching for parties
and making arrests. Such officers
are allowed mileage for each and every
mile actually and necessarily travelled
in making an arrest. In cases where
no arrest is made, the officers receive
such compensation only as may be
allowed by the county commissioners.
G. F. DIEFENBACHER,
County Attorney.

this county like to do bus mess with a
man who speaks German when they
go to the treasurer's Office to pay taxes
Henry Schwier is such a man. His

ofcounty commissioners also gives him
a thorough insight into the duties of
the Office of treasurer.

IT Is remarkable how party feeling
influences parents in the school book

service in conjunction with signs. This

except that it is more rapid aud moro
convenient. In this way the reading
and writing of grammatical English
could be taught, and both the manual
alphabet and the sign language are en-
ployed in certain schools to-day.
For many years after the founding Of
the Hartford school no speech was
taught there. though to-day the teach
ing of articulation is an important fac
tor in their work. In 1857, largely
through the efforts Of Horace Mann.
who some years previously had visited
the schools Of Europe, two institutions
were established in this country whers
the deaf could not only be taught TO
speak. but be taught by speech without
the use of the manual alphabet or thu
sign language. One of these was In
New York city and the other in North
ampton, Mass. and they arc to-day largo

tutions there spreng upin this country.

advocates OF the sign language 90 >

of signs who employed the manual al

There is one feature Of this iegisla-

/ refer to the great number of special
bills passed for the purpose of increasing
the pensions of those already on the
rolls. OF the us special pension bills
which l have examined since the begin

increased those already existing, while
the appropriation of money necessary
10 meet those increase alone exceeds
considerably the amount required to

Il cannot discover that these increases
are regulated by any rule or principle,
and when we remember that there are

and consider the opportunity for such
increase that must follow presidents al

to jutifiable increase OF our national
revenues cannot escape attention.
