CHANGE OF sHERIFFs.

John r. Logan, sheriff, and John +.
Harshaw, deputy. That is the way 1t
stands today. Sheriff Crawford turned
over his office and keys yesterday, and
Sheriff Logan and Deputy Harshaw took
charge. E
There is not a great deal perhaps to be
said about the change. During the eight
years that Sheriff Crawford has held the
office, be has been placed in many embsr.
RAISING positions and confronted with nc
end of delicate duties. However, he has
always been equal to every condition ol
emergency, and his record is one of faith.
full businesslike discharge of duty. No
body can deny that in going out he is de-
serving of the commendation, "Well done
good and faithful servant of the people"
But while there has been change of Off
GERS, we do not look for any considerable
change of management. Mr.. Logan, too
is a straight forward man of business
who understand the management of men
and also the meaning of the word duty
and will always be found at his pos
when wanted. A good officer has gone
out a good officer has come in.
During his incumbency as deputy
sheriff, Mr.. Scoggins has made a Teputa
ton for cool courage and general efficien
cy that extends to all parts of the county
and he also goes out of office with clear
papers. Mr.. Harshaw, the new deputy,
is young man without especial expert
ence in his new line of duty. He is
man of intelligence and reliability, how
ever, and the fact that he has been chosen
for the position by Sheriff Logan, is
guarantee that he will come up to all re-
quirements.
Though Mr.. Logan is now sheriff, Cap
tain Crawford, Deputy Scoggins and thei
families, are still at the Jail. Sheriff Lo
gan is not quite ready to move his family
and it will probably be several days ye
before Sheriff Crawford's residence OF
Main street is vacated by the family o
Mr.. S. L. Davidson. In the meantime
ex-Sheriff Crawford and ex-Deputy Scog
gins will give Sheriff Logan and Deput.
Harshaw points in the management o
the business Office, the prisoners, etc.
business generally will -consiane =
move along without hitch or atoreak.

The desirability of new state map
has been suggested. We would be glad
to see new and accurate map of the
state by counties; but, really, we do moi
see any encouragement to anybodyto un'
dertake such an enterprise, for on account
of the ease with which county lines may
now be changed, new maps are liable te

- Referring to the Cuban recognition
one of the metropolitan
suggests that the senate
might compromise the whole matter by
recognizing the independence of Mr..
Cleveland. But, really, we do not think
such action is at all necessary. The in
dependence of Mr.. Cleveland is propo-
sition that is already generally admitted.

- Though the Cuban recognition reso'
luton may pass the senate, it is moi
likely that it will pass the house. The
understanding is that Reed and Nc
Kinley are both opposed to the reso-
luton, and this, taken in connection
with the facts that the house is Repub'
lican, and all the patronage is still in
tact. would seem to settle the matter.

A Quiet Christmas.
The Christmas just gone was unusually
quiet in Yorkville and vicinity. The
day, as we'll as several days before and
after, were celebrated in the usual manner
by the small boys with firecrack ers and
other fireworks. There was q certain
amount of indulgence in Intoxicating
liquors; hut not so much perhaps as on
many former occasions. Almost every
body had big Christmas dinner, and
that about describes the way-1he holiday
has been spent. Usually there are a
number of tragedies to record during the
holidays; but we are glad-to s1 y that this
time we are permitted to leave he tragedy
