A NEW n. N. GENERAL.

President ARTHUR has with the az
eustomed deliberstion, given us another
small instalment of his Cabinet appoint
ments, in the nomination of ex-senator
TIMOTHY D. HOWE of Wisconsin to
the important position of Postmaster
General, to succeed Mr.. JAMES.
bis qualifications for the position, so
far as the country is able to judge him,
are In rather unfayOrable contrast to the
business reputation Of the present in
cumbent. Mr.. HOWE was born in Maine
and emlgrsted to the West in 1916, when
he was thirty years old. He has served
threetermsint heSenate, thelast expiring
In 1879. He Is "a Stalwart among Stall
warts" in his associations in the Repnb-

tial associate with Senator Conkling,
and distinguished himself shortly be-
fore the close Of his hast Senatorial term
by vehement attack upon what was
called the Southern policy of admin
tstration Of President Hayes. He has
been lawyer his life long, and for sew
eral years was Judge of the Supreme
Court Of Wisconsin.

TIE teachers in our public schools
throughout the State are raising rum
puS" about the last Legislature repeal
ing that part of the school law relating
to certificates Of teachers issued by the
State Examining Board, and of normal
school graduates undergoing an eSami-
nation before the County Boards. But
the case is somewhat different with re-
gard to the State professional certifi-
Gates. The law authorized them to be
issued, and required a specific fee to be
paid by those receiving them. Where
the teachers paid the stipulated fee into
the State Treasury and received n GER
tficate profesSedly good for life, il looks
very much like an executed contract,
and that the action of the Legislature in
annulling this contract was uuconstitu-
tional. If the teachers will bring this
matter properly before the Legislature
at the coming session it will doubtless
be corrected. AT all events they can
obtain remedy in the courts

The recent death of J. G. HOLLAND
has caused the abandonment of a plan
in which he was very much interested
for the establishment Of q coffee house
in New York city. Several other well
known gentlemen were interested with
DR.. HOLLAND iR this enterprise, but the
doctor had the entire management OF
the plan. None of the other gentlemen
feels that he can take the necessary
time from his business to attend to its
management. The abandonment of
this enterprise is greatly to be regretted,
as every such instance of practical phil
anthrOpy which aims at the solution of
knotty social and economic problems is
n great public benefit.

CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

There are more evidences of BUSINESS
in connection with our fast coming
Christmas than have been manifest for
many years past.
The scramble in the shops, the bun
dies on the streets, the eager crowds at
the show windows, have been the prom
inent business features of the past ten
days.
Plethoric pocketbOoks are blessing
ut all times, but never more convenient
than at Christmas times. Christmas
greetings and tokens are important ele-
ments in promoting sentiments of frater-
nifty and good feeling among all classes,
and this is, after all, the best business
feature of the occasion.
The comparative few who can give
any price for an article that strikes their
fancy are not happier than the larger
class whose generosity must be closely
adjusted to the size Of their purse, and
whose gift of a little trinket carries with
it far more meaning than the unthink-
ing and unsacrificing purchases Of the
wealthy.
Those who buy some of the Christ
mas presents" so eonspicuOusly adver-
tised in some Of our metropolitan jour
mails this season may gain motor
iety for lavishness, but hardly
for the same amount of genuine
good will and friendship as
are conveyed in the most simple
memento. The $4,000 diamonds, the
5000 rubies, the $4,000 necklaces, the
81 600 finger rings, the one thousand
different designs of every kind specially
prepared as costly gifts for the Christ
masoccasion, give abundant opportunity
fOreyery class to indulge their tastes in
this direction; but after all 1t Is the many
thousand quiet and unsensational tokens
of genuine esteem passing from hand 10
hand among the humber classes Of
society that make the coming holidays
bright in the very places where sweet
neSS and light are most needed

PERPETUATING A MONsTRosITr-
ssRUlE DAYS"

Unlocking over the work OF the Leg
islative reyisory committee, we find that
thew have presented the ancient statute
relating to l'rule days" in the practice
of the courts without material change.
We hope the Legislature will handle
this effete barbarian without gloves
when 1t is reached In session.
It Is the worst relic Of the slow-coaeh
English practice that has come down 10
us from the dead ages. 81.
There is no sense or propriety in re-
III Is out of harmony with the times.
II Is A miserable, monstrous discord with
the spirit of the age-with railroads, tel
egraphs, with 4 modern, moderate
notion Of business dispatch.
1t is an incubus upon our courts, oO-
structing business, postponlng justice,
bankrupting suffers, and bringing the
administration of the courts into disre-
pute. "
month the only time at which suit can
be instituted-at least the only time any
official record can be made OF 1t.
ia sutton has an urgent case against
n slippery debtor, and it happens to be
Tuesday after the first Monday in the
month, he cannot have any return OF
process against him for one month, less
one day. The defendant may then en- en-,
fer a dilatory plea, and the plaintiff
must wait another month before ne can
bring his case any nearer an issue.
Thus it must go on from montn 70
month. Each step in the pleadings must
be month apart, and it must be taken
only on the first Monday. That Is the
ONLY day in the month that it Is proper
to enter plea or rejOinder. =,
Why the first Monday Is more sacred
than any other for the transaction of legal
business is not explained. Why thirty
days should elapse before the most SIM
ple plea or rejoinder can be made be-
tween parties in case is also not eX-
planned. Why this stupid, unbusiness-
like statute should be continued in eX-
istence demands explanation.
We venture to say that there is no
lawyer or legislator in the State who
carries moss enough on his back
to conceal the transparent useless
ness and absurdity OF this
ancient, obsolete and obstructive pro-
vision that it is proposed to perpetuate
on our statute books.
There is scarcely case comes into
our courts where the attorneys engaged
could not make up the issue in one day
as easily as two, three, or four months.
Granting that there should be a reason
able time between the declaration and
the plea, the subsequent pleadings are,
as rule, mere formal approaches to an
issue, which the attorneys could supply
almost as quickly as repartee at the trial
table.
But there is no need of haste, and we
make no argument for it. Let there be
due deliberatlOn, but let the absurd pro-
vision giving thirty days in which to
take each single step in a case, be I'M
tremendously shot out of our statute
book. Five days notice of plea is
enough; ten days is usually superb
bundance. Thirty days is simply put
ting a premium on laziness and old
fOgyism.

about rs economically a. it can be

about as hard as any one and watch the
corners as closely; yet have never been

quired TO give bonds aggregating S5O,-
demonstrating the watchfulneSS and

count the unpleasantness of much of the

out of the poor, who are scarcely able to

is smau enough pay.
Take the handling of the city school
tax from me, and you reduce my in
come by ABOUT 81 900; so that, after pay
ing my deputies and all necessary ex-
penses of getting the city.s work done,
/ would be left with the pitiful salary Of
less than $500. Do you think anybody
would give the required bond, assume
the immense responsibility, and do all
the disagreeable work that now do for
that sum?
The result will be, if the Legislature
should conclude to take this 81 900 from
me and turn it over to Sheriff Browns

Prior to the time of the
transfer of the school fund from the
Sheriff to the City Collector, the city
paid much larger per cent. upon its
collections than it does nOw--made
necessary by the fact that it requires
just as much clerical force, stationery,
and all other expenses, to collect the
revenue, which goes into the city Treas
ury, as is required to collect the remain
ing city taxes, viz: the school tax.
You see, said Collector TANEY, this
is all city taxes, levied by city authori-
ties, expended for city use, under the
supervision of city officers, and just
why State or county officer would I'M
agine that he ought to have anything
to do with them it will be difficult for
an impartial jury to comprehend.
