Powers should both be hanged, and
that many thousands in Kentucky

think in all these prosecutions the

even hindered and imposed upon,

it gave out the Indebtedness of the

1t says, in effect however. that it be-
lieves the present Fiscal Court will
be able to pay all of the indebted
ness this year, together with the
current expenses. and have several
thousand dollars left. We hope this
will be true, and congratulate the
Herald upon its faith in a Repub-
lican Fiscal Court. However, know
ing as we do that the court is made
up of high-class, honorable men.
who will guard well the interests of
the county in all things, we fear
they will be unable to pay out this
year. Anyway. if they should be
able to do as well as the Herald ex-
poets of them, and pay all this in
debtedness this year. we know and
the Herald knows, at the end, the
county will have S24. 1872. 46 less than
it would have if it had been clear of

AS BETWEEN the professional DO
litical reformer and the religious
crank this country seems to have
the worst Of it just now. For sew
eral years John Alexander Dowie
ha. been head of the Christian
Catholic church in Zion," near Chi
cago. He had attracted to his
standard enough people to build a
city in common, of probably 10000
inhabitants. Until a few days ago
the inhabitants of this strange city,
to a man, bowed to every whim OF
of Dowie, the apostle. Now, all is
changed. Dowie has been shorn of
his power. He is dethroned king.
Even the church, which he organized,
and of which he was the shining star
so long, has fired him out as men,
Der. He has been stripped of all his
property, both personal and real, and
his wife and son have deserted him,
as a climax to his troubles. In the
message sent to Dowie, informing
him of the new situation,h he is charg-
ed with extravaganza. misrepresen-
tations, exaggerations, tyranny and
injustice. Dowie is now in Mexico.

The question of bonding Hart
ford to finish our streets and put in
sewerage system, will be submitted
to a vote this fall. We are already
in debt about $4,000 for the work
which has been done. An issue of
$4,000 would finish the work, give
us good streets all over town, and a
lower tax rate could be made to
meet expenses and interest on bonds.
