ANOTHER NEEDED REFORM.

We quote from the proceedings Of the
Senate Feb. 9th.
Senator Donnelly offered the following
resolution;
WHEREAS, A considerable part of
the onelous burden OF taxation now rest
ing upon the people of this State is due
to the expense of holding protracted
terms of the district court in the several
counties in this State, to enforce the col
lection of petty claims, or to adjust dis
putes where the amount in controversy
IS oftentimes less than the expense inn
posed on the taxpayers in trying the
same; therefore
Resolred, That the committee on the
judiciary is hereby instructed to enquire
into the expediency of so amending tho
statutes OF the State IS to assess, III
hole or in part, the expense of such
litigation upon the party or parties OBJ
tanning judgment therein. and to report
by bill or otherwise
The resolution was adopted after
brief explanation by Senator Donnelly,
and referred to the judiciary commit
tee.a
This resolution tells its own story.
Why should 10000 people in county
be taxed to pay the.expense of allowing
a few fools to squabble over petty quar-
relse ia has claim against B why
should C, D, E, F, and all the rest of ths
alphabet, have TO pay A the expense o
collecting that claim? What have the,
to do with it
ia found that he had to pay the pipe
himself he would hesitate about rushinl
into law; he would compromise with B
+ or he would agree to arbitrate his dis
pute; and thus the taxpayers of tn
county wonld save thousands of dollar
} annually.
/, The long and short Of it is. that v
must reduce taxation within reasonabl
proportions or admit that Republics
institutions are failure.

Blessed Are They that Mourn.


Mr.. Haldane was just about to lock
the door of his Sabbath school, and go
home, one dark, December night, when
he spled little girl of about twelve
years Of age standing in the doorway
crying bitterly. He turned on the gas
again, and babe her come in.
"What's wrong with you 90 my little
GIRL" he said.
Please, sir, everything's wrong with
me, and I wish 1 was Dead" said she
bursting anew into flood ofteals.
Mr.. Haldane had not seen her before,
but he began speaking kindly tc her,
and at last she told him all her story.
Her mother had been dead for one
week only. but her father had been
dead for years. And now the little
orphan was thinking ofthe many tunes
she had caused her dear good mother
sorrow, and
"Oh, sir" she said, 81 came in here
tonight, and when l heard you telling
about Jesus dying on the cross, l just
thought it was all my blame, forI have
been so bad that He will never forgive
me-"
my dear child" said Mr.. Haldane,
'Jesus came to save such as you. He
came to save the lost, and He is willing
now to make you His, and pardon all
your SINS"
but you don't know how bad I've
been!"
Mr.. Haldane pointed out to her that
Jesus Christ came to save the very.chief
of sinners, and tried to get her to accept
Christ as her Savior.
When they parted for the night she
was much calmer, and promised to pray
to Christ for light in her darkness, and
Mr.. Haldane agreed to meet her next
day.
At the time appointed she met him
with glade smile. II see it all now.
sir, and have just put myself into Jesus
hands,"
Mr.. Haldane, BENG a missionary, got
her home with pious lady who was
requiring a servant. and who promised
to allow her to attend the Sabbath
school. On the following Sabbath she
came up to Mr.. Haldane, and pointing
to text on the wall, said, please, sir
read that!"
He read. blessed are they thai
mourn, for they shall be colntorted."
That's me, sir!" cried she joyfully;
that's me! Christ took away my
mother and my home, and when
mourned, be gave me another home
and babe me follow mother to heaven
and when l was sorry tor my sins, he
came and washed them all away.-So
