course. he cannot disappoint any

We are pleased to know that the
Prosecuting Attorney Is so well
satisfied with his record We hope,
and believe, he will continue to be.
Judging from the elegant exhibi.
ton he made of himself in a re-
cent article, We see no reason why
he should not be. He is certainly
not conscious of his misery. AS
he has we'll indicated, heeis only
responsible for the brains that God
gave him. We regret to know
that such burden must fall on
our Saviour. If the intellect the
Prosecuting Attorney has exhibit
ed by that article is to be blamed
upon orr Lord. We believe that
after due reflection the Meek and
Lowly Savior will be ashamed of
both productions-the brains aud
the article. We wish we could
say something that would make
our seIf-satisfied Prosecuting At
torney ashamed of himself for
writing such an article. but we
suppose it cannot be done. We
will only have to content ourselves
in the future by thinking that it is
not a good thing to kick at a
skunk. It is not right; indeed, it
is not proper.

There is certainly something
loose in the new law for the oolleo-
ton of capitation tax. Under the
old law, the assessor made the as
sessment and it was placed in the
hands of the sheriff for collection
and he charged with it. Under
the new law, the assessor both
assesses and COLLECTS it. Where is
there any check on the man who
gets the money! It is true that he
gives a receipt to the man from
whom he collects the money, but
this is only a protection to the
man who pays it. Who. beside the
assessor. has any way of knowing
how many of those receipts are
out?-Fairmont Times.

of Mr.. Rankin Wiley to say some
thing in behalf of the County
Court for giving him a fee to assist
the Prosecuting Attorney in the
murder cases the had not said
something it would have been I'M
kind of him. He says he was en-
ployed at a time different from
what the records show. We do not
know about that, but we relied up
ON the records being properly kept.
We would be very glad to bave Mr..
Wiley. or any one else. furnish us
with the law showing that the
County Court has any right to en-
ploy an attorney to assist the Pros
ecuting Attorney in the discharge
of his duties. That is the only
question at issue, and the only
matter that was originally discuss
ed. We will publish it in our next
issue, if he will kindly furnish it
fer us. We do not know who Mr..
Wiley may regard as the good peo-
pie of the county who will endorse
any action towards the expenditure
of money that is not authorized by
law. Itmay be that those who are
unfamiliar with the facts in the
Case. who do not regard the con.
illusions reached by the jury, and
who are ready and willing to take
the law. into their own hands,.
might be willing to say that it wss
all right; but we do not know that
Mason county has many such citi
zens: Ii the only law that can be
found yarranting such expendi.
lures is. that this and other coun
ties have done the like before, We
insist that such course does not
make law; it may furnish the
Court with reason for doing this,
and we havs been charita BILE
enough with the Court to say, time
and agsin, that We do not accuse it
of doing a willful wrong.
We do not undertake the defense
of Oremeans, or the defense of any
one else. for the commission of the
crime with which he and Taylor
are charged. We said nothing
about this matter until the verdict
of the jury had been rendered, and
the unbiased opinion of the jury,
expressed in their verdict had
been made known to the people as
we'll as their views in private con-
vorsation
We then said that the jury
thought that Taylor did the shoot
ing, but they believed that Gre
means knew of it. Does not the
verdict show that this was their
conclusion? This may not be the
opinion of Mr.. Wiley. but he is
hardly in position to give proper
expression upon the merits of the
case. We believe that jury was
composed of honorable men; We
believe that the people in general
think they are. Why find fault
with them? Perhaps when
Mr.. Wiley enters as heartily into
the prosecution of Will Taylor, he
will have cause to change Lilo mind.
OF course, the Court, the Proseou-
ting Attorney and his assistants
will push the Taylor case at the
next June term of the circuit court
with the same vigor, the same de-
termination, and with a greater
feeling that he is the guilty man,
than they did Cremeans at the term
of court just ended. We will
await results. In the meantime, we
say, magnanimous WiIeyl He
did the proper thing

The Belgians, who hold most of
the obligations of San Domingo,
have lodged a protest the arrange
ment recently made whereby
Americans approved by our gov
eminent and appointed by that IF
the little republic are to receive
the customs duties and hold a por
ton of them for the benefit of for
eign creditors until mode of pay
ment shall be authorized. The
Belgians desire to receive monthly
payments of S27, 600, in accordance
with an old agreement with San
Domingo. For more than two
years, however. ewing to the dis.
turbed state of the republic, they
have received nothing. and Mt
money has been accumulated fer
their benefit. Inasmuch as under
the plan recently arranged, as above
describee the money will at once
begin to be collected for their
benefit as we'll as that of other
creditors. few months more delay
in their receiving it ought not to
be cause for serious objection. 1t
is probable that their protest will
be treated with all due respect. but
it is hardly likely to upset the az
rangement for. the sequestration of
the duties or to be disposed of
finally until after the United States
Senate has taken action.-Pitts-

Two interesting items come
from Spain. One is that the king
has made up his mind to marry an
Austrian princes, and the other
that the supreme court has decided
that bull fighting is an art and
must be encouraged. The latter
item seems to be of particular in.
terest to the people Of Madrid, Who
are going to have a great gala
celebration because of the courts
decision. While everyone outside
of Spain will be glad to hear that
it's king has been wisely and hap.
PLY mated, as such an event
would probably presage better
things for his country. yet the bull
fighting decision is apt to create
the impression that the Spaniards
are still long way from where
they ought to be. AS long as bull
fighting is the favorite national
pastime Spain is sure to lag away
behind in the pathway of progress,
