HERE AGAIN.

We greet our patrons this morning
with Vol. 2, No. 1, of the DAILY HER
AID in hopes that our paper may meet
with as satisfactory results as last year.
In it we shall endeavor to chronicle the
events connected with our County Fair,
which commences to-day and which
bids fair to De the best of all its prede-
cessors. The liberal ! atronage of our
business men have somewhat crowd
ed our space, but we will endeaver to
give every interest far showing, and do
the best we can underline circumstances.
In this impression will be found the
rules and regulations of the Fair AsSoci-
alton. The management have done all
in their power to make the fair the
grand success it should be. The new
hall just completed is more commodious
than the rooms heretofore occupied.
The track is in fine condition and quite
q number of horses are on the grounds
and some will b. here from adjoining
counties. Thata good crowd will be in
attendance NJ one doubts. Let Phillips
burg do her best to make their visit
pleasant and happy time.

The enterprising proprietors of the
Central House have erected a building
on the fair grounds where they will fur
nish meals for all corners.
The first number of the Marvin Dem
ocrat will appear this week, w G.
Thornton editor. It is to be five col
umn folio, and as its name indicates
will be devoted to Marvin and Democ-
racy. May its shadows never fade.
Our limited space will not permit us
to make due mention of the various ad-
vertisers in the Daily Herald en-
deavor to do so tomorrow.
The fair grounds are assuming an air
of business.

COMMON SENSE.

The St. Louis Globe d. Democrat wisely says:
The defense of such prisoner as Thompson
is peculiarly well adapted for the display OF a
kind of eloquence which has a great effect
upon the average jury. They are appealed
TO by all that is holy and sacred in the house
hold, in behalf Of the affection they bear to
their wives, daughters and sisters. There is
scarcely situation in which it is easier to
cloud the judgment of the. majority of the IL
men who are to give the verdict, and make
them blind to the inadequacy Of the testimony
for the defendant. They are led TO believe
that their own personal reputation for honor
is at stake if they hesitate to acquit. One ef-
feet of their action is to legalze the taking of
the law in his own hands by the Individual
whose family honor has been asssiled. This
is not a tenable position in the first place.
And when, as in the Kentucky case, there is
no direct proof OF the alleged provocation,
but the killer acts on his suspicious, we find
another weak point in the philosophy of this
code Of unwrtten law. The killer is relieved
from the responsibility Of making sure the
fact of ofiense. lie has but to be convinced
Of it in his own prejudiced mind, and an OPP
portunity is furnished for his counsel to lei
forth the floods OF their eloqueRce. II he kills
without any real cause, but imagine it, he can
be no more guilty of murder, according to this
code, than hangman who strangles victim
wrongly condemned
The whole theory involved in the case is
wrong, and there is no mstaking the fact
that the killer, in cogitsting upon the course
he shall pursue, is influenced by the thought
that he is pretty sure to escape conviction il
he commits the deed. The presumption is that
if Thompson had felt reasonably certain that
he would hang for killing Davis, he would
have RETAINED from the act, especially as he
had plenty OF time to think about what he
was doing A verdict or two from iuries to
show that man must be held responsible
for killing another, except in sell-defense,
would put an end to such things as the
rhompson-Davis tragedy. There is moth
ing in this view of the matter to be construed
as condoning the ohense OF Davis, If he COM
mitted it. 1t is simply a stand for the supre-
macy Of law and the protection of human life
Female honor does not require any such de-
tenders as Thompson. 1t it does, it is not
worth defending.
These words are timely and pregnant with
good common sense. They deserve to be re-
ceived with respect by citizens of all States
and treasured up in memory. Those who are
guardians OF. the public rights--the jurors
should bear them forcibly in memory when
such cases come before them. Then law and
order shall prevail and human life receive due
protection.

DEAD MILLIoNAIREs

Among dead millionaires are the Ham
mersleys, OF New York, father and son. The
scourge was pneumonia. The former left an
estate variously estimated at from $4,000, ooc
to $I3, ooo, 900 to the son, his sole heir. The
son had married but was childless, and left a
will bequeathing the usufruct Of his property
to his widow during her lifetime, and at her
death bestowipg it upon public charities.
Three children Of brother Of the elder
Hammersley, cousins of the younger, apply
to be recognized as legal heirs. They do not
contest the will OF either decedant, holding
that both are valid. What they maintain is
that the will Of the younger decedant dis
posed only OF his own estate, owned and
possessed by him before he inherited the
patrimony that it made no disposition and
designed none OF the succession of the elder
Hsmmersley. That hence the collateral heirs
take as heirs at law Of the son.
This case presents novel question, or at
least not a settled one in testamentary juris-
prudence. 1t has been usually held that
last will disposes Of an estate OF whatever IL
consists at the time OF the death. We be-
lieve that the question has once arisen in
Louisiana and that the civil Law favors the
judicial Interpretation sought by the Ham
mersley heirs. Whatever is reasonable is
lawful according to Justinian. There seems
no reason why a will should dispose Of prep
erty testator was unaware he owned, or
perhaps did not own at the time twas made.
No reason why decedant as to such portion Of
his estate should not be held to have died in
testate. Yet there arc reasons, in the eye Of
the English law, plenty as blackberies.
The question for the New York iurist is
whether il the elder Hammersley left say
Sic, 600, 900 to his son, and the latter
made no will after he acquired it, shall the for
mer will be held to dispose of it, shall the
widow be entitled to the usuiruct and the
charitable institutions named to the final estate
n fee? OF course, the grounds upon which |
, mans last will covers all his requests is that
he would make another will if necessary. The |
obstacles to making last wills are not con-
idered. What authorities there may be to |
support the heirs at law will at least show the |
contest to be an easier and safer one than to |
lave contested the validity of the wills.

Wr Editor:


W. Editor:
l see in the Canton Telephone OF Sept.
9TH. bitter complaint against the officers
OF the Probate Court on account OF the re-
fusal 10 publish probate notice in the
Telephone. The law gives parties the
privilege Of selecting the paper in which
these notices shall be published unless the
Judge claims such paper unsuitable. Thus
leaving il 70 the Judge to determine what
papers are suitable mediums through which
TO give important public notices. Now
when a request comes in for the Judge
70 order notice in a paper, the existence
and standing Of which he has no know
edge whatever. il would seem eminently
tit and proper that he should hrst be salts
lied that the paper is established on per-
manent foundation, aud has 4 sufficient
circulation 10 make IL 4 suitable adyertis-
ing medium. The court has several times
been exceedingly annoyed on account OF
lis liberality In these matters. The Iele-
phoae must know that the life OF most Of
these village papers are exceedingly
rphemeral aud uncertain, consequently
whenever the publication ola paper ceases,
or changes its name or place Of publication
whole patch ofnotices are rendered worse
than useless. Such has been the case sew
eral times in the past few years,
aud the experience OF the past, rem
ders repetition very undesirable. Some
times parties seek an obscure local paper
for their notices for the purpose of COM
plying with the letter Of the law, aud yet
obyiating the very purposes for which the
notice is required. 1t is the duty OF the
Judge TO guard against this, and see that
the notice has reasonable circulation.
Two requests came ia at the last Probate
Court for publication of notices in papers
Of which the Judge said he had no knowl-
edge, and did not even know they had an
existence. What the editor means by
"tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum," he does
not inform Us, but We suppose 1t must be
something fearful to contemplate. With
regard to what the Telephone says about
instructions 10 the Register and the pay
meut Of fees, the Register informs me that
/ IL is not true, as he received neither the
instructions or money The Telephone
should be able to satisfy the Judge that it
has a prospect of more than brief exis-
tence as well as a reasonable circu-
lation before breathing vengeance against
the court for acting judiciously and care
/ fully In this matter. JUSTICE.
