synopsis of Opinions OF the COmm's'
siOners or Appeals Adopted by the
Court of Appeals.

Court OF Appears.
Austin vs.. Kahn; appeal from Dallas.
This suit was brought by Kahn against
Austin, minor, on account Of clothing sold
to him. The jury were in effect directed to
find for the plaintiff if the account WAS cor
rect and the defendant, although a minor,
was living apart from his parents. This
charge of the court made his liability depend
on no enquiry as 10 whether the goods sold
we're necessary or not. If the defendant was
living apart from his parents he would be
liable for necessaries furnished 10 him, but
such separation does not enlarge his liability
30 as 20 extend 20 contracts for the purchase
of articles which do not fall within that
classification. Reversed and remsnded.
Walker, Commissioner.
Hans vs.. Doerr; appeal from Gusdalupe.
In this case there is no statement Of facts,
and we therefore cannot say whether the ver-
dict Is contrary to the evidence; nor that the
charge is contrary 70 the evidence and law CT
the case. The charge is generally stated TO
be inapplicable 10 the evidence, but whether
this is SO we have no means OF knowing. In
the absence of q statement of facts this court
will not revise the Instructions given 10 the
Jury. Affirmed. Quinan, Com.

STATE PRESS REVIEW

The Morris county Banner gently touches
up class of people in Its town OF Danger
field, that is to be found in every town
and city. They are the greenbackers, the
croakers, the fault.asders, the back biters.
We have them here in Dallas. They lack
enterprise; they will not agree to any propo.
sitioD that may be made fer the city's good
they are unwilling to contribute dollar to
aid in the progress of the city or It's develop
ment, but are willing enough to profit by the
efforts in this direction. If railroad waats
to come to Dallas, and asks help of the cii1
they tighten their purse strings, and some
them assert that the agent who asks the do-
nation wants the money to put in his own
pocket, as the road is coming hero anyhow.
This class of people are the ravens of every
community in which they live the black and
ominous birds Of evil whose comiDgs, and
the shadow of whose wings are as an Incubus
upon the advancement of any town or city.
The Banner says:
In almost every town there are number
ness TO whine and talk down their town, and
grumble and discourage every enterprise that
is undertaken. They complain of dull bus
mess, and say the town is going down-Lhst
it is dead place-snd if they take trip off
anywhere, they return home praising the
towns they have seen, and talking Of how
they are growing into cities, while they de-
clare that their own town is going to the
devil. When stranger comes in they |
tell him of all the woes and disadvantages
Of the place that they can think Of They |
bemoan tho lack of enterprise and energy of
their neighbors, and, in fact, whiRe and
grumble at everything, no matter what kind
of town they live in. They are always
trying TO tear down and destroy. Danger
field has such men. Every other town has
them, and they are curses to any commu.
nifty. But when town .prospers it must do
so in spite of them. The progressive element
must press forward and turn deaf ear to
these grumblers.
The Waco Telephone is opposed to the
system that obtains of electipg judges, and
proceeds in the following, which we extract
from its editorial columns, to give cogeut
reasons for the faith that is in ii:
A convention, to nominate Judge, is one
of the deplorable features of our system.
And if go of the convention, what of the
canvass and election that follow? The very
defects of our judicial system are serving TO
inspire the masses with profound contempt
for law and its methods. OF course there
are honorable exceptions to the fTle. Once
in while we get 90 able and incorruptible
judge on the bench. But the system is de-
and perncious, in that its ulti-
mate tendency is to drive the best legal
talent away from the bench, and sur
render the ermine to men who are hardly
worthy to wear it. The lawyers, of all men
are beet aware of these evils; but the lawyers,
of all men, are the last to ask or suggest
q remedy. The conclusion fellows,
that the shrewd lawyer thrives where
a defective judiciary system is fastened
~ the state. The masses, little given to
lIslysis of such subjects, resent

The Kansas law goes into effect May
Chicago Woman's Temperance Union,
sets several rumors to rights. The
Governor writes THAT many of the
whisky dealers in this State are moving
to Kansas City, Mo-, is true, but for
every saloon-keeper that goes out of Kan
on account of our prohibitory law, suf-
ttcient number Of sober, Industrious,
energetic families come into the State
to build school-house, and Kansas can
always afford to trade her saloons for
School-hOuseS, and drunkenness for
sobriety. That part OF the letter which
alleges that the law interfere with the
free and unrestricted sale of tinctuIes or
compound that are used soley for medi-
cine, is not true, nor does the law direct
ly or indirectly with the right to admin
lister or partake of wine at communion
services. All such stories are instigated
and circulated by the whisky ring in or
der to break the force Of the prOhibitory
law in this State, for the advocates of
free whisky well know that when it has
been thoroughly tested and proved,
which it will be, that prohibition in Kan
sas is grand success, other States will
follow our example, and eventually the
policy of prohibition will be fundament-
al law of the United States. NotWith-
standing the law does not take effect un-
til the 1st Of May next, already the sa-
looms have closed in most of the interior
May we will not have an open bar in Kan
sas-nor will Kansas ever again be guilty
of giving the sanction of law to that
which everybody knows to be wrong
