Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK. Editor - and - Proprietor The Express is no party organ it is independent io all things, and neutral in nothing. We pro pope to support only good men for office this year, regardless of poli tics or party. The question of whether or not stock shall be allowed to run at large in Benton county is to be Toted on at the coming election. It ill be snpporled by farmers in the thickly settled neighborhoods, and those residing in the hills and foothills and who depend io a large measure upon outside rauge, will oppose it. The Express has entered upon its tenth year. While the paper is not what we want it to be, and what we hope to make it, yet at the present it is as good as our sop- port justifies us in macing it, but during this year we hope to add several improvements to our office aod give our readers a better paper than we ever have heretofore. In an article published recently in the Scientific American is the following statement, referring to the people of the United States: "We have grown and prospered as no other nation has, until to-day we do one-third of the world's man ufacturing, one-third of its mining, one-fifth of its farming, and pos sess one-fifth of its wealth." The reader will notice that the propor tion of wealth is the same as the - .farming, which proves conclusively that the farmers of the United States, should, in justice, own more of the wealth than the other class es. But is this the case? No. Pernicious legislation has allowed trusts and syndicates to rob the farmers and also to rob the labor ing men of all classes. We are a great nation great in evil deeds as well as in good. The political parties most soon do more for the people in general than heretofore, if this country is to have prosper ity in future. There is one relic of barbarism , that is being used in this enlight ened age that should be abolished. That is the grand jury. There is no possible reason why this relic of barbarism should be perpetuated. In the medieval times when lords and borons ruled and swayed, the grand jury might have had its place along with the rack and screw and other method of torture, bm it has no place in the present enlightened age. This system of the law permits not only prosecu tion but encourages persecution. A perfectly innocent man may have his name dragged through the mire of secret session of a grand jury and have bis name befouled by such suspicions that will all but cause an indictment, and be has absolutely no defense. There is no reason for the existence of the grand jury system. All cases which are bound over by justices of the peace had just as well be bound directly over to the trial court. There is no use in putting him through the grand jury farce. A person having knowledge of a crime had just as well swear out a warrant as to appear before a grand jury and make a complaint. If the magistrate finds reasonable grounds for the belief of guilt he could bind the prisoner direct to trial without regard to the grand jury. The only function which the grand jury seems to perform to a nicety is to pile up costs against the countv. Toledo Leader. How's This!

VtM Animal Lnnwl tn Itapoct Hta for am lorn. In Mrs. Olive Thome Miller's volume, "Our Home rets," Is told a avory of a dear collie dog and his gratitude. The dog, it upnoars, was a great put In the family of a colnniul soldier, and was particularly noted for his antipathy to Indians, whom he delighted to track. On one campaign against the French, the dog insisted on accompanying his master, although his feet were in a terrible condition from hHring been frosen the previous winter. During the fight, which ended in the famous Braddock defeat, the dog was ever be side Us master; but when it was over they became separated, and the soldier, concluding that his pet had been killed, went home without him. Some weeks later, however, the dog appeared in hia old homo, separated from his battle-field by many miles of thick forest. Be was tired and worn, bus over his sore feet were fastened seat moccasins, showing that he had been among Indiana, who had been kind to him. Moreover, he soon proved that h had changed his mind about hia former foe, for neither bribes nor threats could ever again induce him to track an Indian. 1 UNKNOWN PEOPLE. A suit in Concord.
