TIIE ACQUITTAL OF OJ,SON.
In giving an account of the acquittal of Col. Colson for the killing of two men in a hotel at Frankfort, Ky., the Courier-Journal says: "A more typical Kentuckian of the very best sort than Col. Colson cannot be found in all the length and breadth of the state—and to him we tender the assurance of our most respectful and heartfelt homage." It will be remembered that Col. Colson •emptied two revolvers in a crowded hotel, killing two men and wounding several more. For this "respectful homage" is due him and he is held up as a "typical Kentuckian." If he had carried three revolvers and emptied all of them instead of two, he would no doubt be more "typical" and more '"homage" would be due him. Senator Coebel was "typical" for the reason that he had killed his man and was acquitted. But the Kcntuckian who killed him is not regarded as "typical" nor is "homage" due him, but $100,000 of the state's money has been donated by the legislature, and with this sum, testimony is bought in the market to secure his conviction. It is a little difficult for a Hoosier to understand that one man may load himself down with revolvers and make a slaughter house out of a hotel, and be "typical" and have "homage" and "respect" due him, and that the slayer of Goebelmust1
be hunted down with the states money
and
murderers.
THE SEW COUNCIL. I
We congratulate the citizens of Crawfordsville irrespective of party upon I the fact that now for the first time in I several vears they have a city council composed exclusively of honest, intelli-! a Ai'lmo
gent men whose ward improving the city and seeing that the city gets full value for every dollar expended. We believe the new council is made up of men who have no axes to grind, political or otherwise. They are all men who have businesses of their own to attend to and will not attempt to make a living out of the tax payers.
We have a good council now because we wanted one enough to work for it. We have had bad councilmen before because bad men were more interested in being nominated and elected than the decent people were in putting good men forward. The experience of the past four years has been a bitter and oostly one. It ought to last us a long time. We will not forget these four years of robbery and misgovernment. Neither will we grieve over them, because we have the future before us and great things are expected of the new council. It starts out with general public confidence and by exercising good business judgment will easily retain it.

Thtt polls at the Republican primaries on Saturday, when delegates are to be selected to the Union township convention, will be open an hour. This announcement is made by thecommittee at the request of the candidates. It marks a step of progress in our political methods, and is not only in the interest of fairness for the candidates but what is much more important it is an act of justice to the Republican voters. It gires them a better opportunity to register their choice. When the call for the county primaries is issued hope to see a similar provision included in it, except that possibly ths time should be lengthened to two hours. it would also be a great step in ad,ance if the call should also contain a paragraph providing for proportional representation. This simply means that in each precinct the delegates shall be divided among the different ,ickets in the same proportion as these tickets irero supported by the voters. Jt i3 tho essence of injustice that a man who works hard in a certain precinct and misses a few votes of having a majority, should have no delegates from that precinct. But after all the greater injustice is to the voters who supported these defeated delegates and who will be entirely unrepresented in the convention. If the committee wants to make our county convention the most representative body ever assembled in Orawfordsville they will adopt tho plan of proportional representation. It is simple and easily adaptable to our present methods of electing delegates. It is the only method fair to candidates and voters alike.

It being the last day last Saturday for fishing, Sugar Creek along here was well lined. In the meantime Dr. Engleman came gliding down the river in his "little bark canoe." He was so overtaken with the mammoth fish being drawn out that he was three-fourths over the dam before he realized his condition. Much laughter was had over his "predictment," which was thought not serious. He was afraid to venture to swim out for fear one of those large carp would seize him, so he called for help. Ed Crockett, our most noted swimmer, swam in and brought him safe to shore. He expressed much gratitude and did realize afterwards bis dangerous condition, and the words of our little poem came to hie mind:
Of all sad words of tongue or pen, The sadest are these: "It might have been.'
