"The Executive Committee of the
Fourth of July celebration met yes
terday to finish up the business con-
nected with the celebration of Inde-
pcndence day. According TO the
report of the Finance Committee,
S7,2SS. Is was at the disposal of the
general committee for the celebra-
ton, $4,000 of which had been APP
propriated by the Board of Super
visors, and the rest having been
received from public subscription,
except $3.50. 10, which was left over
from last years fund. The expen-
ditures for the celebration amounted
to S6,937.07, leaving a balance on
hand Of SS01.0S. 1t was decided to
transfer this surplus to the COM
mittee on the Grant Monument
fund. IS. II. Bulletin, Aug. 10.
EDITOR BULLETIN: :-Well, what
are you going to do about it? In
defatigable committees and secreta-
ries have rights, and so has the
community. Two months have
elapsed since the 4th July celebra-
tion, and the committee still ignore
the public by silence as regards ex-
penditures-to whom and what for.
1t is a shame, when a large city like
San Francisco can have thousands
placed in the hands of its executive
committee, that makes final report
inside of thirty days and shows a
comfortable balance to be devoted
to the Grant monument. 1 hope
next 4th July may arrive with a new
set of managers of the public's
money, who will not be afraid to
show their vouchers and what they
are for. The subscription papers to
be seen do not show how the money
was spent. More anon.

Prof. Tyndall devoted the pro-
ceeds of his lecturing tour of 1872
3, in the United States, to the en-
couragement of studies IN physical
science. The amount was over $13,-
600, and it was committed to the
charge of three trustees. Originally
the main object of the fund was
"to assist American scientific stu
dents to spend some years at Euro
pean universities, it being the
founders desire that each scholar
should remain four years at Ger
man university" This having been
found impracticable, owing to most
students objecting to the terms, with
Professor Tyndall's consent a modi-
tication of the scheme has been OBJ
tanned. 1t is announced that the
accumulated fund, amounting to
S32, ,OOO, Is TO be devoted to the
maintenance by Harvard, Columbia
and Pennsylvania universities of
graduate scholarships in the Depart
ment of Physics. Science predicts
that the name of Prof. Tyndall, an
English physicist, will always be
remembered with gratitude in the
land that gave Rumford to hold a
distinguished position in the Royal
institution of Great Britain.

Mr.. Harland, Mayor of Belfast,
who recently accepted baronetcy
of the United Kingdom, had pre-
viously declined knighthood. He
spent hundred thousand dollars
out of his own pocket during the
recent visit of the Prince of Wales
to Belfast. What do the noble souls
of HonQlulu say to such munificent
patriotism as that? If Belfast has
few citizens like Mayor Harland,
there is no fear that her printing
offices will be compelled to do the
printing for every public celebration
for nothing.
The Cure Labelle, famous pa
triot-priest of Canada, in letter
from Paris, says the people of the
metropolis remark likeness in his
pronunciation to that obtaining sat
Rochelle, in Normandy, in Bretagne !;
it is the veritable pronunciation of
the time of Louis NV" This
agrees with the judgment of emil
nent French scholars who have
visited Canada and found that the
2'atois of the hdbitdnts is the Ian
guage spoken in France two CEN
turies ago. The educated French
of Montreal and Quebec speak the
Partisan language of to-day in it's
purity, accounts of pedantic tourists
to the contrary Notwithstanding.
Danish settlers in the Province of
New Brunswick, Canada, have re-
markably prospered. Some of them
have even amassed considerable
wealth. With an abundance of
land, comprising soil adapted to an
extensive range of productions, and
climate very agreeable to them
and free from the violences of the
West, the lines of these people fell
in pleasant places when they cast in
their lot with the bluenoses. Ex-
perience has demonstrated that the
hardy European races can adapt
themselves to the Hawaiian climate.
1t is, therefore, gratifying to know,
as we have received hint, that the
promoters of the recently projected
colonizing scheme for this island in
tend to have the inducements for
agricultural settlement here made
known in Europe.

progress in agriculture in the same
period of time In ten Years there
has been an increase IN the acreage OF

SUPERIOR COURT FOR SEDC-
WICK COUNTY.
TOPEKA, Feb. IL, Il

1oftha, GU. -. ASoos
To the Editor of the Eagle
DEAR SIR:-I send you copy of bill
for superior court of Sedgwick coun-
ty and append my reas ons for its
adoption:
!. By the time this act goes into
effect, our county will contain thirty
five thousand or more inhabitants.
?. Three hundred and lightweight
eases were filed in our district court
in 1884; the county il rapidly growing
in population and litigation accumu-
lating.
5. If the bill forming the Nineteenth
Judicial district passes, and am salts
fled il VIII, that will take from our
district the counties of Harper and
| Barbour: but they are both new and
have but little litigation; at least, we
can only expect one extra term OF the
district court in our county, from the
time gained from those two counties,
as Kipeman and Butler win both de-
mand another term each. Therefore,
ii we have four terms, OF four weeks
each, in each year we will have a5onlt
ninety-six days of district court each
wear: and if four cases were disposed
of each day, (Which is too great an
average only 3S4 cases would be dis
posed of. which would not clear
the SedgwicL county docket, to say
nothing of, at least, as many more
cases in Butler and Kingman, remain
ing untricd- The conclusion then Is,
that we have need. even now, barring
our rapid growth of The proposed
court. Yet, "a a saving clause, the
Judge of said court has power to adj
iourn from time TO time if business
Tags.
4. The creation of this court entails
no extra or additional costs upon our
county for court purposes, save and
except the county board in its discrc-
sion, sees lit TO pay the judge of the
superior court sum rs salary from
the county treasury, in addition to
salary received from the state.
;. The state is not out any for this
court, because, if the district Judge
cannot reach and dispose of the cases,
and is not idle, the state pays for the
time needed for the court purposes,
and it makes no difference whether
paid TO judge of the district or supc-
rior court
6. The district court docket, be-
ing bnrdened and far behind,
has furnished an opportunity
for unsuccessful litigants, by APP
peaiS from justices of the peace
II the district court where the cases
can not be reached for long time,
and when reached are dismissed and
judgments paid to defeat justice
Therefore, il will be saving to our
citizens, in that, matters of dispute
may be eXpedi,iously decided and
without lon" and costly DELAYS.
After due consideration of the fore
going hope the bill will meet the ap-
proval of our people and will not be
considered rs cmanating from the law
yers. Yours, &c,
