PEARSON.

The a OF Postmaster PEARSON, Of New
York, is attracting increased attention each
succeeding day. Democrats all over the
country are looking forward to the day for
his successor to be appointed with more IN
e~asiness than they are willing to confess,
while the Republican press are shooting of
their civil service reform music with a vigor
that proves they have not forgotten the art
Of yelling when there is any prospect Of
gaining q point A correspondent writing
to the New York Sun, it seems to the REG.
ISTER, puts the right phase upon the matter,
and for the use and behOot Of both sides, his
words are here appended:
Those who insist upon the resPpoint-
mspt of Mr.. Pear,on as postmaster insist
that the spirit of the civil service bill de-
mand il. The laws fix the terms of office OF
all public servants aLdth advocates of this
refined construction OF the clul service bill,
in o. der to carry out these views, should at
once demand Of Congress that all Offices
whose Duration Is not fixed by the constitu-
ton. instead Cf being held for certain terms
o. yesIs should be held by the incumbeuts
during good b, hayior, that is for life.
TQus, all office holders would come to
have certain prOpert, sin their offices not to
be disturbed, except tor cause on Judicial
proceedings Toe servants OF the people
would thus become their masters, and we
should have a ruling cast among US whom
would shortly De our tyrants.
II Mr.. Cleveland is well assured that the
city or State Of New York can not afford an
euusl 10 this paragon of a Postmaster, then,
considering bis own Office as q sacred trust
held for the benefit Of the people
let him give the people Mr.. Pearson as a
Postmaster for four years longer. If, how
ever, be can find his equal among Demo-
crars let him consider that there are now
some hundreds Of thousands Of Republican
postmasters in the country, to some hun.
dred of Democrats, and remember that
politics is 9 practical art which should not
be directed by sentiment
This is about the way to look at it. To
take a mere refined" view OF civil service
reform would wipe out the e1istance Of par
ties and put the office holders in the position
of task masters. If they are to serve for
life, as the correspondent says above,
the law which fixes a certain period Of time
for holding the Office ought TO be expunSed,
ard the words during lie or good behavior
substituted.

Jurors and Witnesses Discharged SO as to
Provide Feed for their Stock.

PROVIDE teeu tOr their otoch'
Hon. W. Z. Arnold arose in court on
Friday morning and moved the court to
discharge sll the jurors and witnesses, and
continue all suits e SuiriDg jurors and wit
nesses, so as to allow the farmers to return
to their homes without delay, in order that
they might provide feed for their families
and stock. The scarcity of feed for both
people and stock in the country, at this
time, owing to the severe drouth of last
summer, and the unusual severity OF the
present winter, shows that justice and
humanity required that the motion should
prevail. The motion offered BY Mr.. Arnold
was fully coucurred in by Mr.. j. NJ. Ben
nett, who urged its adoption. The Court,
upon consideration of the matter, and upon
consultation with the bar, decided that all
witnesses and jurors, except those engaged
in then being tried, should be at liberty to
return to their homes Democrat.

THE legislation that IS necessary to the
good OF the wOrkingman is not that which
threatens the commune. 1t is legislation
against renewal of the period of the
rich lord and The poor peasant. The mo
nopolist has everything-the man whose
labor makes him rich has nothing. The
monOpoliSt is protected by act Of congress
and when, there is a strike he imports
labor. for home labor has no protection at
all. The monopolist waters his stock
and draws large interest and frequent
dividends. If he cannot get rich in
year he deems himself unfortunate.
When he gets his millions he must needs
have millions more, and as there is no
rational way of securing them they must
come through the excessive toll and the
great privation of the man over whom the
law gives him every advantage. lie CONS
bines with his brother monopolists to put
up the price of every article which labor
must have, but labor draws less rather
than the more money to which that stu
alton entities it. He buys railroads and
controls them so as to cut off all opposi-
ton. The moderate tradesman is obliged
to become laborer himself, to give this
mOnopolist more than his fair share. The
ranks of the workers become larger, and
at the same time importation of cheap and
ignorant labor goes right on,
1t is not difficult for fair minded people
TO see where the law should interfere-and
there must be interference soon. Labor

CHICAGO Jan S.--Judge Bailey affirmed
the decision Of the lower court in the case OF
Fairbanks, Morsa &, Co against the Western
Union Telegraph company. This
was an action on the case brought
against the company to recover damages for
the erroneous Transmission Of n message
from plaintiffs agent at Sioux Falls D. T.,
to the Michigan Pipe company, at Bay City,
Mich. BY the error an order for
$50 feet Of "fve-inch pipe was
given, when the party sending the
message wrote "two-inch pipe" The lower
court awarded judgment of 1885,. IA AMI
costs in favor Of the plaintiff, and the opin.
ion Of Judge Bailey confirmed this judg-
ment, he holding that the rule adopted
in this state by the supreme court is
that whether the printed matter on the
telegraph blank, on which a message i:
written and signed by the sender, is q
part of the contract or not is a question
of fact to be determined by the circum-
stances Of the case. In the case under
consideration the sender Of the message testi
fed that lie did not notice the printed condi
ton on the blank he used, and did not know
what they were His assent to such con
tract was rot shown
