THE CLERK'S AND SHERIFF'S ALLOWANCES IN THE PETTIT CASE. The West Lafayette HerpJd continues its howl on the fees in the Pettit case as follows: "I have tried to get some information conoerning tho items that go to make up Sheriff McCJaskey's bill against this county in the Pettit case, but have not been able to get much light on the subject. There are some things that I do know in a general way concerning a Sherilt's fees in a oriminal case. The State pays no costs in such cases. The Sheriff is entitled to $3 per day during the trial of a prisoner and 40 cents a day for boarding him. The trial of Pettit occupied 35 days, and he has been enjoying the hospitalities of the Montgomery county jail about 200 days the amount would then stand like this: Trial 35 days at 83 per day 8 105.00 Board 1200 days at 40 cents per puy ... 80.00

Total rendered $ 185.00 Sheriff MeClaskey's bill 1,077-40

Excess above what law allows $ 890.40

No bill of particulars has been filed showing what any part of this bill is for. It has been simply lumped and certified oorrect by the Judge. I am not going to charge that a wrong has been done to Tippecanoe county in this matter until I find out more about it, but if I find that MoGlaskey has drawn any money out of the treasury of this county to which he is not entitled by law he will be invited to oome right up here and put that money right back where he got it, with considerable more alacrity than he employed when he took it out. Will Mr. McOlaskey please hurry up with that bill of particular? Until 1 see that, the discussion will be postponed."

If the editor of the Herald had stepped to the court house in the city of Lafayette he could have seen Sheriff MeClaskey's itemized bill, but as he preferred to just simply kick without an intelligent knowlego of the wherefore of the wanton resistance we give the bill below fully itemized and explained. She rill's attendance til court 35 days at $2 per day $ 70.00 Jury bailiff, 40 clays which include

Sundays and night sat $3 a day... 1:20.00 Four court imilllVs, :15 days each at 81,50 per day 210.00 Summoning 00 jurymen, special venire, including mileage and service 140.00 Riding bailiffs, 22 days at $2.50 per day which include horse and buggy 05.00 Service on two jury commissioners two times 2,40 Trip to Lafayette to bring l)r. O'Ferrelto time 5 00 Criminal bailiff from June 3 to Nov. 21, 1800 305 00 Stationery, which includes paper, scratch books, etc., during the trial, mostof which was ubed in the hypothetical questions 28 00 stamps and postal cards 0.00 Hack hire for jury to go home and vote, 7 Democrats and 5 Republicans 23.00 Umbrellas for jurymen going to and from meals while raining 8.00 Wash pans presumably for the 5 Republicans 50

Total 81072.00

It will thus be seen that all the Sheriff received personally out of (he above was the statutory allowance of 82 per day for attendance at court, the remainder being applied for the purpose indicated. But not oonient with its senseless bray at the Sheriff the Herald turns to the Clerk and gives him a turning ever as will appear from the following

Why shouldn't Tippecanoe county howl? If the Journal should ever find itself at the mercv of a gang of looters like that, it would howl too. I have that Montgomery county bill before me. I find an item of $74 in favor of H. B. Hulett, for the Lord knows what and then I find a claim in favor of the same individual for $5 for auditing the bill. This is gall. An oflioer makes out an itemized bill of fees for himself for $74, then looks over the bill end finds it correct and charges $5 more for the O. K.—being two dollars and fifty cents for the O. and two dollars and a half for the K. 'Ihis proceeding shows extraordinary thrift on the part of Mr. Hulett. I am not acquainted with Mr. Hulett, but I'll wager a big red apple that a considerable part of the earth will be his before he leaves if he has no bad luck.

To satisfy Kicking Bear we give Mr. Ilulett's itemized bill as follows: Three day's attendance on court while the Pettit case was being argued and motions made in tne May term, 1800, the statutory l'eoof $2 per day $0.00 For drawing two special venires for Pettit case, two days, 12 per day 4.00 For attendance on court 32 days at 82 per day 04.00 For examining and auditing all tho accounts, entering the same on the order book and making certified copies ol'the same 5.00

Total 70.00

For the further information of the Herald we may say that Montgomery

county is not holding court and paying its officers and other expenses as a matir of accommodation to tho tax payers of Tippecanoe, therefore she felt constrained to collect her just dues from her neighbor on the north. As a matter of fact before the Clerk is rid of Tippecanoe's old man of the sea, the Pettit case, he will lose in money actually paid out to deputies for services in that case not less than §200 and it is presumed that ho would be happy to assign his fees to the Herald man and give him one hundred good dollars if he would take charge of the Pettit case from now on.

Judge Snyder desires THK JOURNAL to say that so far as his action in the premises is concerned in making tho above allowances that he olosely scrutinized every item and endeavored to make the costs as small as it were possible to make them. For this it seems he has received no thanks, but instead kicks and curses, kicks from tho officers and curses from Tippecanoe county. He says he doesn't propose to be so particular in the future.

OUR KEW YEAR BOW.

As was duly announced at 12 o'cloolt Wednesday by the ringing of nil the city bellB and tho explosion of a few lone some fire crackers, the year 1890 passed out and gave away to tho year of grace, 1891. With feelings both retrospective and prospective the people of the city stand to-day. There are of course many regrets, felt if not expressed, for things that are passed, sins of omission and sins of commission are repented, but the retrospective feelings are not all of a regretful nature. Many of our sensations must needs be of a most gratulatory kind and to the achievements of the year the community if not the individual man may "point with pride."

OUK COUNTRY: Our government has been both strong and pure, and all confess that our present administration has been progressing as well as above reproaoh. We are at peace with all the world and as to the usual degree, at peace with ourselves, at least moving toward that •'consummation devoutly to be wished." We have passed through an exciting election and the complexion of Congress has been completely changed, but all with utmost good feeling. Surely, we are almost at peace with ourselves. The crops have been good the past year, our industries have prospered under the fostering care of a wise protective policy and no great national calamity as the Johnstown flood has marred the record of the year. Our country is well to do.

Oun STATE: "As Indiana goes the Union goes," is a saying trite and tried. Deductively speaking, therefore, tho State must certainly be in a good condition because the nation is. We had no Legislature to meet in 1890, and hence our State debt was not increased over 8500,000. Our State is well to do.

OUR COUNTY: Old Montgomery county is still in the van of Hoosierdom as regards intelligence among our people, her crops, her fine stock and whatsoever other things are good and acceptable in the sight of men. Our farmers are doing well and getting ahead in their aocounts. Our school houses have been increased in number and the religious revivals have been attended with most gratifying results. No deadly epidemic has visited us and no fearful crime has blaokenei our court records. To be sure we have tried a celebrated murder case but it came to us from Tippecanoe and we can complacently look across our northern border and exolaim "We are holier than thou." Our oounty is well to do.

OUR CITY: We would not gainsay the faot that the official oensus was a disappointment but the sharp edge was taken off when the oensus of the directory people raised our population to 7,649. The spirit of lethargy which came upon us during the natural gas excitement in other sections has beguu to pass away and a keen interest is begining to be manifest iu the establishment of industries and the upbuilding of various branohes of business. The spirit of revival is coming in with the new year and Crawfordsville is "rousing herself like a strong man after sleep." Our people are happy, contented, intelligent and progressive. Our city is well to do.

In fact if we only view the situation in its true light all things are well-to-do We have not been oppressed by tyrants, famine or disease in the year that has gone by and we have good reason to believe we shall not in the year which is to come. Full of good resolutions then and with full faith iu the capabilities of our Nation, State, County and City let us take up the duty nearest us wishing the whole world. "A Happy New Year!"

SHROUDS~HAVE NO"POCKETS. The last will and testament of two distinguished citizens of New York city Were admitted to probate last week which leads the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette to moralize:

One was that of Daniel Fayerweather, a meek and lowly man who amassed a tremendous fortune in the leather trade.

He was a patron of ohurches, charities and education. After providing munifioently for his

family, his employts, and household servants, he gave tne enormous sum of §2,195,000 to colleges, schools, hospitals and general charities.

The other was that of August Belmont, a blatant, harsh man, who amassed a tremendous fortune in Wall street, and in his bank which was cor duoted on the "cent per cent" basis. •.

Ho was a patron of politics, tho race course and general "sports." After providing munifioently for his family he gave—absolutely, not one cent elsewhere. /y^

Theso men have found that shroud haye no pocket in them. Also no vaseline or cold cream for burns, scalds and so forth.

Draw your own conclusion.

A HOLIDAY SERMON.

Marion Harland speaits

The

mind of a

large number of her fellow sufferers when she writes of holiday blackmail. Your landlady's daughter embroiders a pair of slippers, which she gives you without soles, thereby entailing a real expense with her gift. Then she expects you to make her in return a present worth several dollars. It is blackmail downright. Old Mrs. Snifkin, 80 years old, sends her grandniece a hideous patchwork crazy quilt, "pieced with her own hands." In return tho niece must send a handsome present in money worth half a dozen times

its

much

JIS

the

ugly old quilt. That is what the crazy article was made for. This too is blackmail, nothing more.

Everybody who has succeeded by hard struggle in mailing his own way in the world is beset each year by from five to fifty jieople, not one of whom ever did him any good, not one of whom has even common good will to him aside from what they can pick off his bones, yet all expect a valuable gift, and denounce him as a stingy curmudgeon unless it is forthcoming.

Brethren, let us rebel. Let us declare our independence this Christmas of 1890, and thereafter stand to it. Christmas is the time of all days in the year for expressing voluntary good will. Gifts are only the expression of love and good will that the giver bestows on the receiver out of his abounding affection. Have we any affection for the waiter who is paid for attending to our wants in a restaurant, or for the dependent sixteenth cousin who was always too lazy or shiftless to work for his or her own living? The very poetry and flavor of a gift are taken out of it when it becomes a forced present to such as these. The idea of a gift is thus degraded and ruined.

Therefore, this Christmas of the census year 1890 let us turn over a new leaf. Lot us register a mighty oath that for once we will bestow no gift but a love gift and then let us keep the vow. Give freely ol! such things as you can afford to your dearest and be^. Give also in out and out charity to helpless children of poverty, those who have none to bestow gifts of love.

But Christinas blackmail, no! not one cent! So shall we all be happy so shall those wh don't deserve any Oliristmas gift go -,,'ithout as they should, so shall we better afford to give the real heart gifts to our dear ones.

HARD TIMES.

o.- takes tho financial experts a time to decide whether we have had a panic. The consensus of opinion seems to be that if we have had, it was a very little one. But many believe the worst is not yet over and there are hard times ahead. Large firms are failing daily and the feeling is a shaky one.

The feeling of uncertainty is what starts panics often. Firms that have speculated beyond their means must go under, but if the rest of the world keeps its head on there is no reason why the rest of the world should go under too. Earth, air and sky are here just as they were before, and there is just as much money in the country.

The worst possible thing anybody can do at any time is to get scared and lose his wits. So don't allow yourself to bo scared. Hang on and keep cool till the last. Don't go in debt, and if you are in debt already pay what you owe at once. Keep a little money by you, but not so very much. Pay for everything as you go, so as to circulate as much money as possible. Live quietly, hopefully, and don't look forward to losing your employment or having somo dreadful calamity overtake you in tho hard times. People are very apt to get what they look for, and what they dread most comes upon them. Don't dread anything, not even death.

Cultivate on principle a spirit of hopefulness and trustfulness. If, after you have done your best and bravest, and dealt on the square by all your fellow men, tho worst still comes to you, set your teeth together and go through it like a man. The worst will not last always, and after it is over the good that follows will be better than any good that came to you before. -i«

A Frenchman, M. Bolles, has invented a calculating machine. One li is only to turn a wheel when this wonderful piece

mechanism will add, multiply or divide any number of figures up to fifteen linos.

If the farmers' co-operative and self protective organizations hold together and work harmoniously the result will not. stop at bringing up the prices of farm products. That has already been done. It will also bring up the price per acre of agricultural lands all over the country. ..

The Farmer in Politics. Is the Farmers' Alliance the coming political party?

If it is to bo only a flash in the pan,' one must confess that it made rather a brilliant flash in tho November election. Tho farmers for tho past year have been threatening tho old parties that they would hear something drop this fall. Plainly something has dropped and hit somebody. The Alliance slyly and modestly claims for itself that it was tho fellow that dropped tho missile. Where it did not elect its own candidates it split the Republicans 60 that Democrats got in, the agriculturists say.

Here are some facts: In Kansas the Alliance elected its candidate for attorney general, split tho congressional delegation for the first time in the his* cf Kansas, and got the legislature, iiisuring the defeat of Senator Ingalls. In Minnesota two Alliance gentlemen will represent their order in congress, while the Democrats got the other members of tho congressional delegation. In the ate legislature the Alliance holds the balance of power. In South Dakota it set its cowhide boot down -,,-ith a sound that echoed all over tho young state. It modestly claims to have beaten the Republicans in Wisconsin. Illinois had twenty Republican congressmen. In tho Fifty-second congress she will have only six. Tho cowhide boot of the Alliance again, they claim. In South Carolina Farmer Tillman whipped tho regular Democratic party till it no longer knew itself.

In the northern Atlantic coast states and on the Pacific slope the Alliance has not apparently influenced the elections materially. But in tho s^.uth and in the Mississippi valley, well—for an organization that especially disclaims any intention to meddle with politics tho Alliance has panned out fair to middling.

It now looks as if the four years' college course mutt go. Students will then get one year less of stuffing Greek roots and rules for tho inflections of the voice when Smith asks Jones if it is a cold morning, and that much more of preparation for the real life whose first requirement is that the graduate shall unlearn about nine-tenths of what he acquired with so much pain and trouble at college.
