Henderson County Seat Fight.

With Henderson county entering
upon a county seat fight. it is inter
esting to recall that the county owes
its own existence to dissatisfaction
with the location of the seat of JUS
tice.
Henderson was originally part of
Warren county. and when the perma-
nent county seat was located in 1881
quite Il fight was put up to secure it
for the Lower Yellow Banks. now
Oquawka. Seven years later, when
Oquawka had become quite a little
town, another effort was made to
have the capital moved to that place
from Monmouth, but it was unsuc-
cessful.
The building of the permanent
court house and jail in Monmouth de-
strOyed the last hope of the Oquawka
people, and the movement to divide
the ccunty followed. The new coun-
ty was created by act of the legisla-
ture Jan. 20, 1S41. Oquawka was made
the county seat, on condition that the
owners of the town site donate to the
county not less than two hundred
lots. the proceeds of which were to
be used in the erection of the county
buildings.

Newspaper Fight on Infamous Libel
Law ia in Earnest.

In answer to Il letter of May 10
from Charles Nelan, the cartoonist of
the North American, demanding a re-
traction of the epithet "outcast' used
by Gov. Pennypacker in his reasons
for signing the Crady-Salus libel bill,
the governor has replied. He says to
Nelan:
You are entirely correct in saying
that your personality has never come
under my observation and | may add
that | am entirely innocent of ever
having made any reference to you
Nelan replying, says he drew the
cartoon, signed his name to it, and the
governor saw and studied it. and then
said the man who drew it was a
hired outcast." Continuing, Nelan
says: You now say YOU are entirely
unconscious of having referred to me
by this imputation.'
whether this will hold together as
Il logical and veraciOus sylIogism, the
public will have to determine. | am
not going To bubble over the matter,
but shall give you the benefit of every
technicality and of all Prescriptions
in favor of the candor and truth
fulness of your statement. | shall
not endeavor to hold you for your
negligence merely under the pro-
visions of the new law, the parentage
of which is generally imputed to you"
Nelan will press his suit for damages
against the governor.
The press is scoring the governor
numerically. and apparently defying
him to BEGIN libel suits The papers
of Philadelphia without party eXcep-
| ton fiay the governor in cartoons and
editorials.

NTagruder's Opinion.

The dissenting opinion of Justice
Magruder on the gerrymander scheme
by which the old Fourth judicial dis
trict was reapportioned so as to leave
out Scott and Pike counties is sound
to the core. He shows that the mo-
tive for the reapportionment was
purely political; that it was effected
to secure the reelection of Judge Car
ter. and not for any constitutional
purpose looking TO the interests of
the people of the district. The old
compact district was changed to a
scattered district by such omissions
and additions of territory as were
Thought necessary to defeat a demo-
cratic candidate for the office of as
sociate justice of the supreme court.
There is no other way in a republic
like this than to rebulze such schemes
at the polls. There is the place for

The Quincy Wing quotes the Lewis
town Record as saying. among other
things. The judicial branch of the
state government cannot afford to
substitute man untried in this i'm
portant position Supreme judge), the
occupant of which. with his associ-
ates. has more to do perhaps with the
actual government of the state than

fault that the people of the Fourth
district are finding with Judge Carter
is that he has been having altogether
too much to do with the state gov
ernment"

NO NEW FREE DELIVERY
ROUTES UNTIL AFTER JULY

While there are no petitions known
to be pending affecting any neighbor-
hood adjacent to this city, it viii be
of interest to patrons of the rural
mail delivery system to know that it
has been decided that no more free
delivery routes shall be established
till after July l of this year.
Assistant Postmaster General Bris-
tow has discovered that the eXpendi-
lures of the rural free delivery serv-
ice exceed the appropriation by 500
600. AS a result there will be cur
tailment of the expenses to make this
good, and no more routes viii be es-
tablished until the appropriation of
S12,0O0,000 for the service for the next
fiscal year becomes available. No
routes will be discontinued and the
work of preparing for the establish
ment of others Will proceed. Post
master General Payne. in discussing
the wonderful growth of this service,
Said:
when the entire country has been
given the rural free delivery service
ence and We are ready to put 1,5S7 in
operation when the appropriation be-
comes available.
When the funds now authorized
are expended there will be 27.000
routes established. We have 1O,73O
petitions for new routes. Within two
years the entire country which is en-
titled To the service will have it. Five
years after the establishment of this
service throughout the country | pre-
diet that the service will be sclf-sus-
taining. The deficit will be wiped out
by that time and the postal service
will he a paving institution.
where the new service has been
put into operation in entire counties
and the fourth class postut1iceS have
been abolished there has been an in
crease of 10 per cent in the receipts
Our people are delighted with this
rural delivery service and they want
ii whether il pays the government or
not. They realize that shortly after
it is in operation ii will yield more
than enough revenue to dcfray all the
expenses"
The practice of sending out daily
bulletins to business houses of the eS
tablishing of rural free delivery
routes has been discontinued on the
ground that it tends to benefit bust
ness men of the larger cities 10 the
detriment of the business firms of the
smaller towns.
For a long time il has been the Gus
tom of the department to send out
between 5000 and 5000 of these bull
letins each day. Many complaint,
reached the department from tn,
country storekeepers. who elaine,

Because he took offense at an article

assaulted George Hilbert. editor OF the
paper. Friday evening In front OF the
leading store Of the north shore town.
Mr.. HILBERT was on the point Of enter
ing the store when he was stopped by
i5elknap, who grabbed the editor BY
the arms and in an infuriated manner
demanded who was the writer OF the
article In question. Mr.. HILBERT re-
piled that the Observer was responsible
for the article and any and all matter
that appeared In the paper. Not being
able to intimidate Mr.. Hilbert. or COM
pei him TO divulgc the source OF his
Information, II is alleged that Belknap
seized the editor by the throat, at the
same time delivering vicious abuse and
violently striking out with his right
arm az IL he intended to do bodily harm
In this way he worked himself into
passion and at last struck Mr. Herbert

bic OF pounding the Observer man into

man Of small stature.
BeIknap has gained no little notoriety
in Chinook on previous occasions. He
has dabbled in politics at cross pur-
poses with the Observer, and all his
attempts to dominate and succeed have
been signal failures. The Observer op-
posed him In his attempt to disrupt
the republican organization at the last
campaign and since then he has had Il

got into trouble with the trapmen by
driving trap between two well known
locations In Bakers bay. Now he Is
trying to make Otto Rosendahl and the
Standard Box Company agree to his
demands regarding rafting and the con
struction and operation Of a boom ON
Bear river, or to compel them to shut
down business. Mr.. Rosendahl and
the box company are standing pat on
the demands and the charges for dam
ages done 70 a dyke, deeming them ex-
horbant and unjust. Reference to the
latter case is what infuriated Belknap
and induced him to assault the editor
of the oberserver. though it does not
appear that the article gave anything
but general statement Of facts.
