Commissioners
Hold AIg1 H01d
MOLLY AND ARE OUT.

Con, m issioDers Decide that District Deputy
Attorney May Serve Without Pay.
War has broken out in earnest betwee n
the county commissioners and Deputy
District Attorney Metwin. The board
has cut the attorneys salary to one dollar
the county may fall into that chaotic con-
dItlon resulting from . failure 10 prose-
cute criminals or recourse must be had to
the grand jury system which would mean
an increase of expense TO the county of
100 or 5000 wear.
The action OF the board is the culmi-
nation of series of scrimmages with the
attorney over fees. On the grounds that
the fees claimed were exorbi,ant the
board has been slashing right and left so
that at the present time the bills disal
lowed aggregate S735. To recover this
sum. Mr.. Merwin has brought suit IN the
district court and this suit is now pend
ing. 1t is understood that the action of
the board. in cutting the salary. is taken
| to briag the attorney to time and compel
| settlement OF his claims on their terms.
The commissioners are empowered to
fix the salary OF this Office at sum not
exceeding $500. the presumption being
| Of course. that the salary SO fixed will be
commensurate with the duties of the
official
Mr.. Mer~in is quite indignant over the
action Of the board and declares that
their position is ridiculous. He says they
at first demanded guarantee that in all
the cases he brought he should secure
either bind over OF a conviction in the
preliminary. but now he says they de-
mAnd even conviction in the district
court. He says that in ioI cases brought
in 1893 he secured " bind overs and u
convictions. Eighteen cases we're dis
missed by himself. IS by the court and
seven were acquitted.
District Attorney Patton speaking of
the matter SAYS that the action of the
commissioners is purely a retalla,ory
measure against Mr.. Merwin's suit to
test the constitutionality of the Law per.
mitting them to disallow fees.
The situation is attracting considerable
attention and the general public. while
believing tha, the district attorneys Of.

How 10 Prevent Pneumonia.

You are perhaps aware that pneu
monia always results from cold OF
from an attack of Ia grippe. During
the epidemic of la grippe a few
years when so many cases resulted
in pneumonia, it was observed that
the attack was never followed by
disease when Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy was used 1t counteracts
|any tendency of cold or la grippe
to result in that dangerous disease.
It is the best remedy in the world
for bad colds and Ia grippe. Every

which he means, if we leave them to
themselves, they may, some day,
stand where American citizens stand
now, is to assume that the future
NAV reverse all the lessons of the
present and the past.
Mr.. Bryan in the same Chicago
speech says that, if we annex the
Philippines against the wishes ofthe
Tagal insurgents, we shall, practic-
ally, steal the islands. Did we steal
Louisiana, did we steal the Floridas;
did we steal the territory gained
from Mexico; because, in not one OF
those instances, did we ask or receive
the consent of the inhabitants? 1t
required years of war to compel the
Seminoles to submit to our acquisi-
ton OF East Florida. Was our NOR
al title to that territory invalidated
by that fact? We have been engag-
ed for nearly a century in wars with
the aboriginal inhabitants of the
vast tracts which we secured from
France and Mexico. Do such reit-
terated proofs of the red mans op-
oposition to our sovereignty render
our title to his lands void in the
sight of God? Who care not who
invented the phrase that forcible an
nexation is criminal aggression: We
admit the truth of it, for, to do SO,
would compel us to acknowledge
that our national history has been
stained by three tremendous crimes.

Gomez put his hand on the hilt Of

$57 0OO, 900 to dsband my army and
go out OF the patriot business
Porter pulled out his ultim atum
aud exhibited it, saying, "We can
