Allover Tabor commisssioners’ court this week. Marshall, let another praise thee and not thine own mouth. Bro. Marshall, how is your supply of “valid reasons?” Are they nearly exhausted? We have many things yet to say of the Michigan debris that dominates commissioners’ court. It is labor, not the medium of exchange with which we do business, that makes a nation rich. Justice to the men who produce the wealth. That is the imperative demand of the hour. We are living in a new age and ought to recognize the fact and change our laws to meet our changed conditions.

Nothing short of the assumption and operation of all public necessities will remove the universal discontent among our people. The only member from Alabama that voted against free coinage was made a member of Cleveland's cabinet. Straws show which way the wind blows. Senator Voorhees voted for Sherman’s bond scheme and Turpie was paired or dodged. The truth is, those men are incapable of representing the threat state of Indiana. Who, in this country, will be the first ‘-Johnny to come marching home” from Washington: They must ‘-all go,” for the people last November voted for a change. This is the only change we will ever see. Oliver Perry Tabor, alias little boss, alias Michigan Sandlapper, alias Michigan driftwood, don’t flatter yourself that we are done with you; we have several rods in pickle, and will apply them as you are able to bear it. We will not be unreasonable.

Our health authorities should see to it immediately that the Republican office be fumigated and its rabid editor muzzled. Should another attack of the mad fits come upon barking George, before the present spell works off, there is danger of him biting some one else besides himself.

If the pictures of Cleveland's cabinet do them justice, they are not at all hurt - itli beauty. If this is the best Democracy can do in the way of good looks we think the party should go into the cheese business. Only one good looking man in the whole outfit, and for him they had to go to the Republicans.

It appears as though we were a little hasty in our complaints agaiust the increase of doorkeepers in our “reform legislature.'’ This large force is constantly employed herding and hunting up members to hold a quorum. Last week the lieutenant, governor had these officers search the city for tardy, dc - 1 inquent members, but all to no purpose, a session of the senate could not be held that day. If it requires such efforts to hold a quorum in a sixty days session, what will it be when the time is extended to one hundred days? .Sixty days of carousing and lounging about the state* capital is not enough, let’s give them one hundred days of frolic and fun.
