The supreme court convened yester-
day at the usual hour, Chief Justice
Sener presiding and Judges Blair and
Parks also on the bench.
The case of Cornish, appellant, VS..
the Territory, appellee, was taken up
for argument. j. A. Riner appeared
for the appellant and J.. c. Baird,
county attorney, for the territory.
The defendant in this case was con-
yicted of murder in the second degree
at the May, 1888, term of the district
court OF this county, his victim being
a woman, and the deed having been
committed near Sun Dance, in the nor
thern portion of Laramie county. The
evidence was purely aud entirely cir
cumstantial, but, Notwithstanding this
fact, the jury found him guilty,
The district refusing to grant a new
trial, the case was brought up to the
supreme court by bis attorney.
Ths argument in this case occupied
the attention of the court nearly the
entire day, and was very logical and
thorough on both sides.
The case was taken under advise
ment by the court.
The case of the Wyoming National
bank VS.. Louis Miller was dismissed al
the cost of the appellant.

For the benefit of those who do not
seem able to understand that a news
paper must be run on business princi-
pies, we will state that the GLOWING
notices of saloons and gaming dens to
be found in the daily papers of the
west" are paid for at commercial rates,
but that the church notices and reports
of religious meetings, occupying from q
half column to n column and a half,
are published gratuitously, out of real
respect and reverence for religion.

4 SYSTEM OF ASSESSMENT.

There is no question Of more prac-
teal intent and Importance to the
people of Florida than the revision
of the internal revenue laws reguIa-
ting the assessment of the taxes.
Our present system is admitted 10
be very bad. We have carefully
studied the subject and have con
suited several parties Of good judge
ment and practical experience in
Putnam county. We would suggest
the following as q basis for further
use, and ask open and rigid criticism
of our ideas. Let the new law ere
ate a board of assessors in each
election district, which shall value
the property III their, precincts in
open session after due notice. With
this board the assessor shall consult
in making up his roll, and any point
at issue shall be decided by ma
iority, in which the county assessor
shall have one vote. The assessor
shall then report to the county com
missioners as now provided by law
Once in Cwo years the legislature
shall appoint committee of It's
members; this committee shall take
the valuation Of the whole State.
and apportion the sum to be col
lected for State purposes by each
county.
We will thus secure an equitable
system cquaIized throughout tbs
State; the valuation will be left to
those most nearly interested, and
the government will be brought
nearer to the people. The improve
mcnt Of certain counties will be
provided for, and those counties
which wish to levy special sums for
particular purposes might raise the
valuation withoutpaying extra State
taxes. In this way alone we think
can the result we all hope for be
secured without the adoption Of
cumbersome machinery, or the crea-
ton of new officers, and our system
has been tried in substance by other
States and has invariably worked
well.

to the discussion. We did so, ex-
actly as it was given US.
Now from Orange county comes
the protest printed in this issue, and
upon authority second to none, we
are enabled to correct the note APP
pended to the professors copy. If
we could believe that the interest
felt was i'll any way due to our treat
ment, we should feel highly Aatter-
ed; but we are convinced that this
centres in the subject, and that no
telephone or other invention will
ever supersede in private use The pa
tent made out and approved by
Adam. It is proof of mans per
ennial youth that this matter is so
absorbing to all classes, conditions
and ages. To our censor we express
our firm conviction that no indict-
ment against the telephone compa-
ny will lie, because we apprehcnd no
real damages could be proved from
the practices Of our young people,
and our ardent Kentuckian will see
at once the force and scope Of the
plea, as it must stand or fall in ac-
cordance with the practice allowed
in court; to the professor, we extend
our thanks for the introduction Of a
subject so absorbing, that it has
aroused an earnest discussion during
the preparations for a national cam
paign, and would suggest that the
gov eminent might solve the ques
ton for revenue only by giving the
free traders all they ask on such ar
ticles as iron and wool, in exchange
for q tax which would willingly be
paid if levied on the kisses. Judge
! fuckers interest in the subject il
probably purely literary, but We
thank all concerned for the anxiety
displayed to inform THE News OF
the latest ideas on so sweet 3 theme

was formerly occupied about this time

miserly fellow, and the sparrows are all
an ayaricious set. after driving the rob
bin out, has occupied the box for two
seasons without even 80 much

posed, one who IL able TO do that is fore.
most in looking odt for himself in other
ways. Among the girls aud even among
the men in the mint, nearly all of whom
bring their dinners with them, this par.
ticular sparrow has long been favorite
because Of his boldness, and so freely
does he fly In the windows and III in the
back door Of the smelling room to pick
up crumbs that they jocularly say he is
the only one who has the "free run of
the mint" A short time ago boy in
the building went where Mr. Sparrow
had made his nest, and peeking into the

folks at home, as boys love to do, was
