OFFICE: — A good many years ago Grover Cleveland rose to remark that ‘’public office is a public trust.” The doctrine was rtot original with him, nor is the language in which the doctrine is clothed. Indeed, the phrase was said by Charles Sumner to be “common property." Nor is there any maq who does not hold the principle to be sound —at least in theory. If the principle is sound, to be false to it in practice is to be guilty of a breach of trust. It would be interesting to have a census of the men who, when elected to office, acted as though they regarded that office as their own personal possession and prequisite, or as belonging to the political party with which they are affiliated. The enrollment of men belonging to this class would, it is feared, be large. Yet nothing 1* <dearer than that the relation cf men in public place to the people who put them there is that of trustees. The business they are called on to transact is the people’s busim ss. and the affairs they are deputed to manage are the people’s affairs, it i* the people y. ho pay these' men their salaries, which come out of taxes paid by all the people. All this is i h inrntarv. and vet there are art ay to whom it w ill seem far-fetch-ed and fanciful—and "idealistic.” Os course it is idealistic in the sense tlri: the true principle is so infrequently realized tn practice. Offices constitute the very framework of the state which is sacred —and which it ought to be possible ever to ' legaid as sacred. Faithlessness in office is. therefore, an attack on the inundations of government can be | thought <>f in no other light. And it is a most dangerous attack. We need to renew our allegiance to this old and well-settled principle, and to insist that those with whom we lodge power shall govern their public careers thereby, in no way could we better demonstrate the high quality of our Americanism. The question at boltom is, of course, one of common honesty. —Indianapolis News. When Judge Hall requested Rev. G. S. Harmon of Hattiesburg, Miss., to open the fall term of court with ptayer on October 11, the reverend gentleman prayed thus: “O, God, grant that this court and this jury may do their duty without flinching. Let them deal justice to the rich and the poor alike.” Less than a week later Rev. Harmon confessed forging the signatures of friends to notes amounting to $35,000, and four weeks later Judge Hall sentenced him to ten years in the state penitentiary. This case presents another of those peculiar instances of human behavior which are baffling to the understanding. Here was a beloved and respected minister of the gospel, with a long r.co-d of upright conduct and helpful service, gone wrong after he had passed his sixtieth year. He goes to prison at the age of 63. He received his sentence without flinching. His pray er was answered. Vaccination has proved eminently successful on farms where cholera has broken out. One farmer stated a few days ago that he had a male pig am ■ several sows which had been immun <d against cholera when they wen j rtie. Cholera broke out in ilia hen cf nea:ly 200 head. The auimab witch had been vaccinated went rigli k’oE* with thocs wtii'h were sick au<

dying and never missed a bite of [" feed. That same tanner contends that hereafter, he will only keep Immuned sows and male pigs and will immune the youngsters when they are - small. He says that the cost of ■ vaccination la quickly made back be--1 cause animals do much better after . taxing vaccinated. It serves as u tonic for them, he thinks.—Columbia City Post. ■ - ) cThe democratic state organization •' will investigate charges from several ) counties of election irregularities and ■ ’ if they find sufficient evidence to warrant legal action will take the teps necessary. And why not? If they would do anything else they will not deserve victory nor will they soon ichieve it. They should not stoop to petty things nor bother with wild reports, but if they know of any corruption during the recent election, they should certainly produce it and ake such steps as will at feast make hose so inclined act with 'care in the future. The arrest of King Ben of the House >f David ends a nation-wide‘search’ for a man who if guilty of the charges J nade against him is one of the worst i ■riminals in the country. Under the juise of k fake religious faith he lured many women to his den of in-j quity and his abuses of them were n varied form. Evidently he has' xpent most of the time since he dis- [ appeared within the grounds of the cult but so secret had to be his movements that he has been virtually aI prisoner and he has aged terribly, it is reported. After all the wages of in is death and we venture that the few years of King Ben's life 1 have not been very happy ones. _________ Wonder what causes the irregular hog prices? Just now they are droping rather steadily and yet thousands of head have been wiped out through the middle west by cholera. How hen cau the pritfes be dropping when by all the -ules there should be an advance? ’- ThA’f'banks failed in Kansas City 1 this week. Now do you suppose the visit of either the President or Queen Marie had any thing to do with it? f —; o— *— PUBLIC SALE Saturday, Nov. 20, Butier & Ahr sale barn.
