Platt & Boyd-Jayne, Bliss & Co.

-
A statement has been made that Mr.. Bliss.
United States District Attorney, informed Special
Agent Jayne that 1t was not within his Jayne's)
power to seize any OF the books and papers OF
platt a. Boyd except those that were mentioned
in the warrant. In explanation Of this statement
Mr.. Bliss declares that no question was
made at the time Of the seizure except as
TO whether Mr.; Jayne had right to
seize the stock book OF Messrs. Platt Il Boyd. Mr..
Bliss was OF opinion that the right TO seize the
stock book was not conferred by anything that ap-
peared in the warrant, but that 1t would be
proper, under the circumstances, to retain pos
session OF the book in question. He sent to Judge
Batchford for an additional warrant that would
leave no doubt upon the point. Accord.
ing to Mr.. Bliss statement 1t would
seem that Mr. Jayne held he had a perfect right,
looking at the terms Of the warrant and regarding
his power as sezing ofcer, to seize the stock book
which he accordingly did. The firm protested
against this proceeding. Mr.. Bliss declares that
subsequently looked into the law with great
care, and came to the conclusion that Mr..
Jaynes right to take possession OF the stock book
was undoubted. With regard to the report that
Messrs. Platt Boyd have commenced a suit for
$4,000 against Mr.. Jayne for the wrongful SEIZURE
OF their books and papers the officers Of the United
States District and Circuit Courts state that no
papers In reference TO any such suit have been filed
with them.

Education Pays.

PENNSYLVANIA taxes herself $9.000,0OO
year for the education of her children
in the common schools, and makes money
by 80 doing. The man who pays bis
school tax merely losns his money, and,
if well used, it will come back to him, OF
to those who shall inherit his proper
ty. True, even If education did not pay
in money, it would be worth all it costs,
for money can have no better use than to
lift men up to a higher intellectual and

eiouly spent for educational purposes
