Dscisien Of the Supreme Court.

From the Ian sing Republican.
The supreme court hBs just rendered
the following decision in the case of
Franklin s. Dewey vs. Union SCHOOL, dis
trict of the city of Alpena. in regard to
the liability of school districts for teach
ers' wages during periods when the
schools are closed on account OF the prev
alence of contagious diseases. This de-
cisiOn will prove of general interest in
many localities of the state. 1t is writ
ten by Judge Graves: M, ISIS 81 y
The plaintiff was regularly hired by
the district to serve as teacher in the
public schools. He entered on his duties
Sept. 2, and continued up to Dec. 10, at
which time the district officers closed
the schools, on account Of prevalence Of
smallpox in the city, and kept them
closed thereafter for the same reason
until March IL. They were then reopen
ed, and the plaintiff renewed his duties.
He was subsequently hired for the next
school year and his compensation was
increased 800. The district refused to
pay him for the period of suspension,
and he brought this action to recover it.
The claim was resisted on two
grounds: 1, that in the second hiring it
was mutually agreed that the addition
of 800 to his compensation for incOm
ing service should stand aud be allowed
and accepted in full satisfaction of all
claims for pay during the time in ques-
ton; 2, that the suspension was the eff
feet of an Overruling necessity, or in
other words the act of God, and that all
parts of the contract were suspended for
the time being. .aos aa
The circuit Judge submitted to the jury
both questions in very lclear manner
and instructed them to find against the
plaintiff, in case they were satisfied the
alleged contract was in fact entered in
to; or, in case they should find that the
smallpox was so prevalent that it be-
came obligatory on the board to
close the schools as necessary step to
prevent the spread of the disease and
save human life.
The jury returned verdict in favor
of the district. But we cannot know
with legal certainty whether they de-
termined only one of these questions in
favor of the district, or whether they so
determined both; and of course if one
only was so decided, it is impossible to
say which one. The evidence on the

1T is evident that Tilden has knocked
in head of one of his "barls." The
Cincinnati Enquirer, which in the past
has been most bitter anti-Tilden pa
per, says: Samuel ]. Tilden is in rO-
bust health. His right arm is as strong
as the right arm OF any other man who
meyer trained for prize fight, worked
at the blacksmith business, or engaged
in other physical labor calculated to de-
velOp muscle. His mind is as clear as
it ever was, and his average head-wOrk
in the past is well known. He is as en-
phatically candidate for President now
as he was in 1876. He is rs acute in
watching the course of political events
i'm 1880 as he was in the exciting cir
cumstances of 1876. He is just as able,
and Just as much disposed to make a
vigorous campaign as he was four years
ago. In short, he is candidate for Pres
ident."

or any entry, he shall be notified by the

and shall be allowed thirty days to enter

ceeds to enter land under the homestead
laws shall be allowed the same time to
perfect his original entry as is now
allowed settlers under the presumption
laws, and his right shall rebate back to
the date of settlement, as il he settled

compromise was conflicting, and, as it
appears on the record, the advantage
was with the plaintiff. Still. if no
other ground of defense had been laid,
the verdict must have been conclusive.
AS just explained, it is not so now.
The second objection must be briefly
considered. Beyond the controversy, the
closing of the schools was a wise and
timely expedient. But the defense inter-
posed could not rest on that. 1t must
appear that observance of the contract
Dy the district was caused to be impOssi-
bic by act of God. 1t is not enough that
great difficulties were encountered, or
that there existed urgent and satisfac-
tory reasons for stopping the schools.
This is all the evidence tended to show.
The contract between the parties was
positive and for lawful objects. On one
side school buildings and pupils were to
De provided, and the other, personal ser
vice as teacher. The plaintiff continued
ready to perform, but the district refus-
ed to open its school houses, and allow
the attendance of pupils, and it thereby
prevented performance by the plaintiff,
Admitting that the circumstances JUS
tilted the officers, there is yet no rule OF

visit its own misfOrtunes upon the plain
tiff. He was not at fault. He had no
agency in bringing about the state of
things which rendered it eminently pru-
dent to dismiss the schools. 1t was the
misfortune of the district, and the dis
trict and not the plaintiff ought to bear
it. The occasion which was presented
to the district was not in the principal
c0ntended for. 1t was not one of absO-
lutte necessity, but of strong eXpediency.
To let in the defense that the suspen-
sion precluded recovery, the agreement
must have provided for it. But the dis
trict did not stipulate for the right to
discontinue the plaintiffs pay upon the
judgment of the officers, however dis
Greet and fair, that a stOppage of the
schools is found a needful measure to
prevent their invasion by disease, or to
stay or oppose its spread or progress in
the community; and the contract cannot
be regarded as tacitly subject to such
condition.
The judgment must be reversed with
costs and new trial granted.

GOOD ROADS VS.. COUNT HOUSE

WIFI ill uue utl6IouCt W tnc CAOA 70
on the part of our cotemporary to build
. new court house, we think there are
other and more important matters that
should first be looked after, and which,
in our opinion, are calculated to advance
the interests of the county and hasten
its settlement and development. Among
the most important Of these, we think,
Is that Of improving the roads through
out the county. Settlers coming in have
but little interest as to what kind Of q
court house the county owns. The less
they have to do with such building
the better they are off, and certainly it
would be no encouragement to immi-
grafton to have it known that their
lands, when selected and purchased.
would be under mortgage to pay for q
handsome and, at the present time, un-
necessary edifce for holding sessions Of
the circuit court. They are, however,
all interested in good roads. When q
man selects piece Of land and expends
his time and labor in clearing it up, he
desires way of access to the market to
dispose of the product Of his land. To
do this it is necessary to have roads over
which he can move his produce with as
little cost as possible. Any one who has
travelled through the county within the
past month knows that the roads in this
section are not such as would be calcu
lated to induce settlers to locate in the
county.
1t is not only to the interest Of the
farmers that good roads should be con-
structed, but every citizen in the village
is deeply interested. All will remember
the trouble experienced last fall to pro-
cure fuel, owing to the roads being
almost impossible If the roads
are such that farmers cannot
draw but a half a load of pro-
duce, it adds to 1.-THE cost, for the half
loads cost just as much to draw it as
it would full load. Money spent in
improving the roads would bring in
some returns, that expended in building
a court house would not. The farmers
could afford to be taxed to improve the
roads, for they would receive direct ben
eft from it. The court house would be
of no benefit to them whatever. Every
dollar expended in building good roads
enhances the value of property. Should
the county beEbonded to raise money to
erect court house, and how could it
otherwise be done, every dollar raised
would be mortgage for that amount
upon the property of the citizens. The
present court house is good enough for
the needs of the county at present and
will be for years. When the time comes
that a larger and better one is demand
ed and when the financial situation of
of the county will justify it, the TRIBUNE
will advocate the measures as strongly as
any other influence can, but we are op-
posed to the county going in debt for an
unnecessary luxury, and believe that
tax payers of the county are all of the
same way of thinking.
