We had occasion to look over the
long list Of Justices Of the Peace,
who were appointed by the last leg
islature for the various counties In
the State. No greater stroke at local
self-government was ever inside by
any political ring or machine than
has been made by cur recent legisla-
lures In the appointment Of these
magistrates and denying the people
the right Of electing them. The
principle involved In this single act
Of the Democratic machine should
cause its overwhelming defeat at the
polls next time. Democratic voters
as well as Republican voters are hu-
inflated and overridden by this
high-handed manner Of doing things.
They are all denied the right of Sc
Letting and electing the Justices of
the Peace who are to sit on the trial
Of their causes in their respective
townships, and they are compelled
to try their causes before whomso-
ever the politicians appoint for them.

Educate In the Country.
