it was that when he executed his will
with many codIciis he appended onelitlle
codicil for the benefit OF the scribes,
whereby he left legacy OF $1,000 to the
New York Press club. The will was
very naturally contested, no doubt upon
the plea that no sane man would give

the Judge very plainly entertained the
opinion that a lawyer ought to know

OUR city schools were never in
greater favor than now. We do not
claim absolute, perfection in their
management, but it is no eXtrava-
gaEcs To say they are excellent, and
under the circumstances, all that the
most sanguine could expect, No one
who attended the exhibition Thurs
day evening, could entertain the
shadow of doubt as 10 the thorough

discip!ile which prevails. We ven-

casiCn, vent away proud OF the city
schools. We believe all our people are
proud OF them, and that any Obstruc-
ton that might be thrown in the way
of their continued efficiency, would
meet with a prompt rebuke. We do
not know that there is o single can
didate for a municipal Office at The
coming election that would, II be
could, handicap the mapageTs of The
schools with unneces sary restrictions,
or cripple them with captiOus com
pIainings. Hence what we are about
to say is aimed at no particular iDdi-
vidnal. But it will do DO harm for
voters before deposiiing their balIo s

support, how they stand in refer

who has any disposition to show his

trusted to manage our municipal af-

be proud of now-let Us see that they
are kept so. If this not done, the fault
will be with the people.

SELLING LIQUORS TO MINORS.

The laws of Tennessee provide
that any person who sells, gives, or
delivers to any minor, or to any
person for the use of such minor,
yinous or spirituOus liquors, " latter
notice from the parent, guardian, or
other person having the care of
such minor, fOrbidding such sale,
gift or delivery, is guilty of mis-
demeanor," and shall be fined or
imprisoned, or both, at the discre-
ton Of the court. All parents and
guardians may not be aware of the
existence of such a statute, and we
publish it for their information. A
gentleman of this city who processes
to know whereof he speaks, informs
US that there are persons in this
city engaged in the sale of intox-
icating liquors who sell them
to minors with IMMUNITY. Parents
who wish to prevent such
sales to their boys have
their remedy, and it is the
duty of all the officers of the law
TO assist them in the enforcement
of the remedy.
The law should be changed and
made stronger, than it is. Instead
Of requiring parents to give notice
forbidding such sales, no one should
be allowed to sell liquors to minors,
without the consent of their par
ents or guardians. The Legislature
should make this change at its COM
ing session. The object of the law
must command general approval,
and it ought to be vigorously en-
forced. If it were we would see
fewer boys Keeling upon the streets,
disgracing themselves and bringing
sorrow and deep distress upon their
best friends. Let parents take adj
vantage of the law as it now exists,
and let the law be amended so that
consent must be had instead of no.
tice given.

SOME HISTORY.

A good deal was said in this State
last fall about the authorship of the
Democratic platform adopted in Au-
gust. Judge Marks was understood
to be the author himself. Some
one has sent US copy of the Wood.
bury Press which contains a syn
opsis of speech made at that place
about the last of October by Col.
John H, Savage, in which he gives a
bit of history worth preserving. He
said:
Ii is published in the papers that
Judge Marks wrote the platform.
This is not strictly true. The plat
form as adopted in reference to the
State debt is not the platform written
by Judge Marks to help his kinsman
Col. COlyar. The Marks and COlyar
platform was delivered 10 the printer
st Manchester and printed there, and
il identical with the platform adopted
by the Convention so far as it dis
eusses National issues, and in reference
to the Seate debt reads as follows:
1--we recognize among ourselves
wide differences of opinion as to the
time, mode and measure of the pay
ment OF our public obligations, but for
the present these differences of opin-
ion afford no just occasion for distuI B.
ing that unity which Is so essential to
the complete success of our party in
its grea. struggle for the liberation of
the country. We cordially unite,

This is the 'CoIyar al d Marks
platform as written and printed by
Judge Marks, after consultation and
the latter in his Maxwell House
speech"
That part which appears in italics
is pretty good reputation doctrine,
and a good deal palmer, VIC must
say, than the Judges speeches
were when he canvassed this part
of the country. Whether in his
message to the Legislature he will
take as strong ground as that we
are not prepared to sny-we trust
not, however. Col. Savage does
not tell US how that part of the
Governor-elect's platform came to
be changed, but We presume it was
done by the committee.
