An exchange asks, "If the post
wasters' and poet oflfe influence Is
M bad upon politics qj it H some
times claimed to be, how will It be
when the telegraphs witli the mil
lions of operators are added to th?
department?" It has always been
the cry of those who opposed gov
ernment ownership of public facill
t4es that the Increase In the number
of government employes would be
politically detrimental 4o he coun
try This would be true under the
spoils system of appointing govern
ment employes for .political purposes
atid as reward for partisan service,
but not necessarily it rue under the
righit kind of eytem Place tele
graph operators, as well as other
government employed, in the classi
fied service, and most of the evils
of corrupt political ma chines will be
IKVolded
OMM "I n a tluie a gentleman
whose pert sayings have since made
hlni famous remarked, "The mills of
i lie gods grind slow but they grind
exceeding small." It is pretty inuc'i
Hie same way with some other mils,
sometimes Including the mills oi Jus
tlce. The work of Hie present term
of district court for Hox Hirtte coun
ty was about cleaned up yeiterciay
except such business as may be
brought before It by the grand Jury
which Is still In session. Whether
the grinding was slow or not, It has
been thorough. A good many cases
disposed of are of little or no Inter
est except to the parties directly
concerned, but ihore are some of
general Interest.
A case (that Is of great Interest to
a larger numoer or persons uian
any other is the one entitled Anna
Fredericks vs. City of Alliance, et
al.. In which an Injunction was asked
against further use of the septic
tank southetujt of the city, into
which the eewer system empties,
and require the removal of the same
to a point farther away. The citi
zens of Alliance almost without ex
ception, we think, will he pleased to
learn that the injunction was grant
ed and an order for the removal of
the septic tank made, work to begin
on same within twenty days.
This term of district court seemed
to be pretty niuah of a divorce mill,
there being thirteen cases on the
docket. The case of Mary Dunn vs.
John F. Dunn was dismissed at
plara"ff's cost. Joseph Bark'hurst
vs. Evelina Barkhurst was dismissed
at plaintiff's cont. the defendant be
