COMMISSIONERS SPAR FOR TIME

The question of the removal of the county seat from Hawthorne is in stau
quo ante, this in spite of the fact that all the preiminaries required by law were
fully conformed with, and the petition duly presented to the board of county con
mLsioners for their action.
The petition vas presented TO the board Monday, their stated meeting day.
and by the attorney chosen by the petitioners to act in the premises.
AS anticipated, the board refused the petition, not, however, by direct
action, but by failure to act upon the petition at all The pretext was made by
two of the three commissioners, that they had lot had time enough to examine
into the merits of the case and therefore the question should be delayed until
the March meeting. Probably by the March meeting, sufficient time will again
not have elapsed, and by the April meeting a full board be not present. If there
is any way the majority of the board can shve off action until the legislature
meets, that way will be adopted.
There is only ne pretext upon which the commissioners might property
refuse to act upon a petition of the kind, and that is the sufciency and validity
of the petition. Satisfied upon this point it is not discretionary with the ON
misioners, but mandatory that they call an election at once. Their function in
this matter, under the law, is purely ministerial, and they are not expected to
examine and decide upon the merits of the case' This is to be left to and be
determined by the electors If the county.
Should the county commissioners show a disposition to further delay acEoa
7uhout satisfactory reason, manaamus proceedings should be brought It once 80
+ompel action
In the meantime, it appears the population OF the present county seat Of
Hawthorne is dwinding 50 fast that practically only the court house remains
-lute monument to the departed glory Of the estWhne metropolis It is said by
hose recently in attendance upon court, that not more than a hundred people,
zen, women and children are left to tell the tale. Since the town was side
eracked by the railroad, denizens of Hawthorne have been leaving the place 1t a
rapid rate; and this exodus has been augmented by the attraction Of various
northern camps Of recent birth, where excitement and opportunities for acquiring
wealth are more alurng than the sleepy qui@ude Of the deserted village. 1t will
not be long before attendants upon court at Hawthorne viii be obliged to roost
with the owls of the tenantles town, and depend upon tie lunch basket and hip
botte-meagre compensation for the 24o-mle trip to and fro, from GoMhed.
