TrfE ARGUS. '■ J. A: J. u. .IfcDOKALD, Kdilort and Publishers. Entered at the J‘oßtotfice at'Jackson as second c/ass mail matter. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. lachfton, Ga M May 24, 1894. ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM. COURTS. God forbid that any citizen of Butls county, or ibis continent, shall ever be tried before a court whose judge is dependent upon the commission of crimes for a living. May the day never dawn upon this 19th centmy when courts will be run like a mill for the toll, and men will have to de pend on, or contend for justice before a judge whose meat and bread is se cured by ti. clii g (lie prisoner guilty, and whoso poverty is insured by turn ing the captive free. Our people are now thinking of this matter and be ginning to comprehend the danger of a court run for the toll. The impar tial judge Is the salaried one, whois unbiased and will receive the same emolument in the event of conviction or acquittal. It is a dangerous thing to soil the ermine of tlio bench. It has not and must not be done. Courts must not enter polities, aad become issues in such contests, for all political parties or factious, and every class of citizens have a right to expect justice before our courts. They are the one thing left us in these days of unrest that is tree of tho partisan spirit of political parties ot the day. God save our courts of justice from politics. The only tiling that is worse than a partisan court is a partisan church. Lets keep a watchful eye on these threatening dangers. • Suppose an insurance company should employ an examiner with the understanding that he received noth ing when the applicant was rejected and ten dollars when he passed. Don’t you know that the company would break in a few years with a large crowd ot consumptives on band and that there would boa very rich doctor in the community. Such a re sult can be foreseen by any business man and the piiuciple is the same in a self-sustaining court. The primary object of courts is to punish crime, ami meet out exact justice to all men, as such tney must be untrameled and lice from bias. Even though a man should rise abotehis personal inter ests and do justice, other men can not believe, and it is slili unsatisfactory. We are glad to say iu this connec tion that neither of our present can didates favor any such thing as the establishment of any such a court iu our county, and it cannot be made an issue in the present canvass. So far as the Argus is concerned, there will bo no preferance shown anv candidate in our county. They are all our neigh bors and we will not useour9pace for the purpose of furthering one or the other. We will permit no un signed articles, for wo do not intend to become responsible for other peo ple’s opinions, and no man need ex pect to get printing done without his name attached. Queen Victoria is 75 years old and healthy. Prince of Wales is much younger though bald and bad. It looks as though the “best queen,” etc., would last longer than the rapid gaited Albert, whose only great ac complishment seems to be the fact that he invented a coat with a long tail and bearing his name. “Prince Albert.” OUR NEIGHBORS. The People’s party platform is as touch susceptible of two constructions as the democratic platform. The way the populist of the South coustrue their platform is one thing and the national construction might be another. The populist don't consider the democratic platform a bad one when construed by a southern democrat, and we might say the populist are Principally “dissatisfied democrats,” and, therefore, their con struction of their p'aiform is tainted with democracy. But we advise our farmer friends to go slow on this platform bus iness for if the populist platform is not centralizing we caD’t see straight. If that instrument don’t increase the power of the government and take away per sonal liberty, or individual rights, it don’t do anything at all. You had bet ter go slow. The hobgoblins will get you if you—don’t watch—out. The Telfair Enterprise, one of the ablest weeklies in the state, says: “lion. A. O. Bacon seems tote the choice of a large share of the voters ot Georgia for the high, honorable responsible position to which he~ls aspiring, that of United States sena tor. The dignity and importance of the otlice demands a gentleman of like kind, and we believe Mr. Bacon will come squarely up.to the mark. We at least are in the Bacon column. A philosopner is a man who can feel as easy over his own troubles as he does over his neighbor’s. There are no philosophers. To refuse to speak to your next door ne’ghbor, and emit prayers for tbe heathen, is a sort of a consistency that don’t jingle. The Atlanta Journal and the Atlanta Evans’ campaign People’s Will has got the Constitution in such a muddle that it can’t make an ordinary calculation. It says: ‘‘lt went two to one for Gen’l Eyans out of a vote of less than 400 he got 200 majority.” Great Scott! there is not a boy in town but knows that that would be four to one. If he had got only two to one out of less than 400, he could not have gotten a majority of more than 133 1-3. The candidates for the legislature in every county should be required to state their preference for United States sena tor. The people have a chance now to select their senator by making their can didates unbosom themselves. Here in Butts we don’t think a man can run well before the people who will not agree to give his support to Hon. A. O. Bacon. Speak out gentleman and let us know how you stand. The world is sadly in need of an inventor that will warn people when they have talked enough. GRAINS OF GOLD. Are you making any plans that reach beyond this life? When you hid your sin goodby, don’t shake hands with it. A fool empties bis head every time heopens bis mou'h. Growth in knowledge is the only cure for self-conceit. There is nothing more beautiful on earth or in heaven than love. Weakness on both sides i?, as we know, the trait of ail quarrels. The best remedy ft r self-conceit is to be well introduced to yourself. Speak but little and well if you would he esteemed a man of merit. Be grateful for your blessings and it will make your trials look small. It is much easier to be contented without riches than it is with them. CAN YOU WRITE?
