MURRA Y, Editor and Publisher. Nappanee, Elkhaut County, Ind., WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1889. The Elkhart Sentinel has ’em bad. It Jays that two-thirds of the voters of the county transact their business in Elkhart. Indications are that there will be a grand rush to Oklahoma in the event of its being opened up as a territory, which is more than likely to occur as the bill passed the lower house some time since. Among the most noted callers on the President-elect hist week, was Col. Mosby, the ex-confederate guerrilla, who claims to be related to Gen. Harrison. Mosby’s grandmother was a iirst cousin of William Henry Harrison. The citizens here generally to a man, signed the protest against the passage of the Hubbell bill establishing a Superior Court at Elkhart. They can see no demand for it. only as an Elkhart measure to promote individual interests We notice that a town in Kansas has elected five women to the city council including the Mayor. They issued a proclamation to the effect that all business houses should be closed on Sunday, not excepting any. The most singular thing about it is that they have the ability to enforce it to the letter, so goes the story. Since John E. Sullivan, late clerk of Marion county, got away with about $130,000, it is quite likely that the people of that county will begin to look forward for some means whereby such prodigious rascality can be squelched. Truly, Marion county presents itself as a great field for reform! It is the man of the school book monopoly that is tearing the buttons from the waist-coats of legislators at Indianapolis, this session. The lobby is said to be a most forminable one. The great serpent has driven its fangs into the people until they now seem to be awake to the fact that there must be a healing remedy introduced. The schoolbook monopoly can see the hand writ ing on the wall. That $585,000 that could be saved to the people of this state annually, as has been computed on good authority, under a free-book system ought to nerve every man in the General Assembly to have a care for the peoples’ interests. We notice from an Elkhart paper that city clerk Pegg, of Goshen, was over to that town and got drunk. An officer lodged him in the bastile over night and the next morning the poor misguided fellow was put aboard the train and sent home. Goshen seems to be very careless in the selection of men to fill this particular office, as not many years ago they were forced to relieve City Clerk Slattery of his official badge of honor for the same offense against public decency. A city with the tone of Goshen cannot well afford to entertain such traveling advertisements as this official has exhibited himself to be. Not Goshen, in particular, but any other town for that matter Not only ought a man’s business capacity be measured, in selecting him for office, but his moral tone and standing in the community as well. One is as necessary to the other in the composition of a good trusty official as it is in the selection of a trusted employee to handle ones private business. The rule is applicable from a President of the United States down to a road supervisor. The bill to establish a superior court at Elkhart passed the senate by a majority of 32. It is thought that the bill

has seen its best day at this juncture, though there is a possibility of its farcing better in the House than the opposition to the measure may think. There is no more reason why this bill should become a law. than that the state make an appropriation of $20,000 or more for draining the Kankakee marsh land, which has been bought in at almost nothing by speculators, with the expectation that the state would reclaim the land for them and feather their nests thereby. When this scheme comes up for a heavy appropriation for the benefit of a few individual speculators, some of the very fellows, that are adyocati ng the establishing of a superior court at Elkhart, will be its opposers on the grounds that the state has no interests in identifying itself with a measure calculated to benefit a few individuals in their personal aggrandizement at the expense of a whole people. Mark that! The states of Pennsylvania and Nebraska are about to submit to the ballot constitutional amendments prohibiting the manufacture or sale of intoxicating liquors within their borders, or whether it shall continue to be regulated by law. Massachusetts and Illinois will more than likely follow in the same direction, possibly. New Hampshire votes upon the question on the 12th of March. There seems to be no question but what the traffic has reached that magnitude where it has brought people up to a thinking position and the agitation of the subject is here to stay. Though about eighty per cent, of the people have long ago made up their, minds that there is a screw loose somewhere, yet the ideas, as to the remedies which must be applied are not as yet sufficiently crystallized as to be productive of any very great results, excepting iu a few instances. The people make this country what it is, and making, become responsible to themselves: therefore, it must be their right of inheritance only, that gives them the privilege of expressing their sentiments in the premises. We are surprised to see the Nappanee News “rehash” the falsehoods of the Goshen News in opposition to our superior court. Instead of costing the people of this county five thousand dollars, the court will not cost more than onetenth that sum. The judge will be paid by the state and most of the other expenses will by fees. —Elkhart Sentinel. Our esteemed contemporary fails to note that we gave Elkhart’s pet scheme the benefit of these colnmns at the same time, in the best language the Sentinel could command in its “ret&sh” of the opinion of the Elkhart bar at its elbow, in support of that Superior Court. As to the falsity of the statements of this paper, that is a question yet to be proven, on which the opinions of our readers are far more preferable to us than the biased opinion of one who must necessarily expect to reap pecuniary benefits if the scheme is successful. We can almost see that word, “rehash,” slip from onr pencil as oar mind dwells on the fraternity at Elkhart; however, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. We are yet young in years and have plentyof time to learn whether our copy-rigbt law gives the Elkhart Sentinel or the journal it' refers to any special privelieges, as to an opinon upon a public question. As to where we obtained our information, the Sentinel has the same recourse —the place where the court records are to be found. As to the opinion on the question presented in these columns, it was. probably founded, not unlike that of our esteemed contemporary—the sentiment of the community in which the paper circulates. The amount which it might perhaps cost the county in addition to the now court expenses, is a mere matter of speculation with us, as it is with the projectors of the bill, to establish the Superior Court in question. W e never held that the county would or would not pay the judge. In the judgment of the News it is an uncalled for and needless expense on the county, it makes no difference in what amount that sum might be or from whence it comes. One of the reasons advanced in support of Hubbell’s bill, is, that the people of Elkhart and immediate vicinity must needs cut down their expenses, on the very thing on which it is now advanced by the Sentinel that this Court will be mostly maintained, aside from the states expense,—from fees. It is just as wrong that this expense be saddled on the whole state, of paying a judge a yearly salary for two months work, that the same people already pay for being transacted, as it would be if the county were to bear such expense, though the objections might not be so numerous. We venture the assurtion, that it is even more vicioos to enact laws in the interest of one commnnity, entailing unnecessary expense, and make non-residents pay for it, than it is to make that community bear such expense themselves, whose interests are reciprowith such town or community, as is this county to Elkhart. The'only possible argument in favor of this bill in question, if it could be used, would justify the measure in the sight of those people of the county who have no direct or pecuniary interest in the city of Elk-

hart. would be. that our Circuit Court is unable to care for the business of the county, that comes before it Out side of tbis one point, yet to be established by the Sentinel or anyone else, so far as our knowledge extends, there is no means, in the opinion of the News, that justifies the end sought. When the court business of this county expands to such proportions that one judge on the bench at Goshen cannot dispose of it, by the proper sparring of attorneys to attend strictly to business, then the we will join in - the advocacy of a Superior Court at Elkhart. If it is established before that time. Elkhart will certainly be under no obligations to this corner of the county, so far as we are aware. PERSONAL. 1 About People Wlio Come and Go.

Broke np From Childhood. I have been afflicted with Scrofula ever since I was a small child. To tell of all I have suffered would be a picture too dark and painful to think of. Yep of misery I endured, bad digestion, no appetite, rheumatism in my feet, all these and more than these have made my life a misery. For fifteen years I followed the prescription of physicians, which was no more to me than water poured on the ground. Two years ago I took S. S. S., and nothing in all my wretched and unhappy life was such a blessing to me as that medicine. After taking six bottles I was anew creature, was free from pain, was clear of rheumatism, was able to sleep, to eat and work, and was well and happy. My rheumatism has been cared and has never returned. S. S. S. has certainly been a wonderful blessing to me. Susie E. Moss. Gallatin, Tenn.. Dec. 13,1888.
