Open the books. Both sides are still claiming Kentucky. Governor Busbnell of Ohio has shown how he feels over the election by appointing a Democrat to an office. An expert going over the books of an ex-sheriff of this county has found that the latter failed to turn over fees to the amount of $2,500 collected by him.—Winamac Dem-ocratic-Journal. The supreme court will pass on the legality of power of attorney in the case of liquor license remonstrators, the Motion case having been appealed from the decision of Judge Palmer, who held such remonstrance good. Why has The Democrat been fought so bitterly by every person who has been illegally fattening at the public crib? Why, because The Democrat has been working for an investigation of the county records, and an iuves tigation is just what those fellows fear.

Suit has be«n brought by the County against the estate of James Kirtley. The county in a compromise agreed to take the estate as a partial payment for the shortage in ex-treasurer Kirtley’s accounts. But did not file the claim within a year after Mr. Kirtley’s death which is said to bar proceedings.— Fowler Leader. The combined vote of Joues and McLean the opposition candidates in Ohio exceeded that of Nash by over 60,000. Yet the Administration feels that a great “victory” has been gained. But suppose the opposition combines between now and next year and the same votes •re cast against the Republicans, will McKinley feel the same way •bout it when the votes are counted ? It is with profound sorrow that we note the degeneracy of our esteemed Washington street contemporary. Both the other republican papers—the Journal and Barnacle—noted the filing of a petition asking for an investigation of the county records —although each are against anything of the kind—and yet the Apologist has failed to hear anything about it. The Barnacle is not generally credited with any overplus of enterprise, yet it “scooped” the official organ on this piece of news.

Charles McKnight has brought snit against Benton county. Borne months ago he was employed to investigate the books of the County Auditor. A few days before the September session he filed his report with the County Auditor. No one has been able to see that re|»rt since. The Auditor misplaced it and it never turned up. The Commissioners refused to allow Mr. McKnight’B bill because they never saw it. While it is true that ihe Auditor is the clerk of the Board of Commissioners, but when the Auditor’s accounts are being investigated it is doubtful whether be should have the care of the report.—Fowler Leader.

It is reported from Washington that deserted wives of pensioners •re taking advantage of the law enacted by the last congress providing that one-half of the pension be paid the wife on proof of abandonment. More than 2,000 of these claims have been filed with the pension*bureau, nearly all of which have received favorable action. The pensioner in nearly every case combats every prospective curtailment of the amount he ultimately receives, but the proofs furnished by the abandoned wife have almost invariably outweighted his arguments and the percentage of applications rejected by the bureau is extremely small, Thirty days’ notice is given to the pensioner, within which he may show cause why the division should not be

THE COMMON COUNCIL.

Geo. Hopkins, Jacob McDonald, John Hodsbire and H. C. Smith have resigned as members of the fire department, while John Rush has passed the physical examnimation, served his month’s probation and has been accepted as a member. The ordinance requiring the owners of lands abutting on or over which the Iroquois river flows, within the City of Rensselaer, to remove from the bed of such river, all willows, weeds or obstructions, which in any way retards the flow of said stream, passed the second reading. An ordinance to prevent teaming and heavy hauling and also to prevent the running of traction or other heavy engines over and upon streets and alleys of the city of Rensselaer at certain times of the year and declaring an emergency, was introduced and read and on motion the rule relating to the second and third readings of ordinance was suspended by a twothirds vote of the Council and the ordinance was put upon its passage.
