meat. They returned to Seybert's and
the next day Whipple and his wife
took the meat to Wilkes-Bar and
sold it to William Bowers, grocery
man; Mrs. Wbipple and Mrs. Gard, a
sister of Abe Wbipple, corroborated
this story, and William Bowers testi-
fed as to the meat bought, as to an in
terview with Holland, and as to a
great many other matters that were
relevant and irrelevant. He was very
talkative and many of his answers, or
more especially his manner of answer
ing, amused the large audience that
constantly filed the court room. lie
admitted that he had been drunk on
Tuesday, and il was quite apparent
that he was not in much better condi-
ton while on the stand. When dis
missed he made for the most conven
lent bar, and in the afternoon, when re-
called to the witness stand he was so
drunk that the court sent him to Jail to
sober up.
The defense was opened on We'd
nesday afternoon by Mr.. Jackson
and is as follows +: That Charles
Holland is detective, that the smoke
houses and cellars of many farmers all
through the county were being robbed
and HOLLAND was employed by a num-
Der of people to detect and break NJ
the Seybert- Whipple gang; and that
he kept his employers informed of al
his doings, and that he is therefore moi
guilty of any criminal intent, but was
working for the benefit of the com
muuity, endeavoring to detect and con
vict a gang of thieves. The tiial may
occupy most of the week.

The Public School System.

That a system of public education,
Is fundamental bulwark for the per-
petuity and safety of our institutions
was apparent to the fathers Of our
commonwealth at an earl y day. The
masses hailed with joy the glorious
advent of system that was about to
de hrone the power OF ignorance from
the legiti mate domain OF reason over
which it swayed the scepttr with ty-
rannical sullenness, in submission to
which there was no alternative but
acquiessence with slavish indifference.
No sooner was the long felt want sup
piled with all its inperfectioDs, than a
new era dawned upon the future great
ness of our grand old state.
The system, in its discretionary powers
is gradually growing from aserviceable,
public machinery, beneficiary in all its
effects, to an oligarchy of speculative
monopoly, mandatory and compulsory
in all its operations. That the people
have suffered frequent abuses from in
trigueing agents and self interested
officials, which they bore with patriotic
patience, is an undeniable fact. But
they however had a remedy in the law.
Now the mandate steps into our public
schools and like a tyrant demands
"bring those books, study those
branches, whether you know your al
phabet or not, or there Is the door
which will bar against you, notwith
standing l will collect your taxes, and
If the board of directors will not en-
force my will to the letter will with.
hold from you all state aid" Is it any
wonder that a sentiment is rapidly
growing in aversion to such trans
formation from hitherto glorious and
free system of public education'

CONCERNING REFORMS.

And especially concerning Reforms
in some m matters of legal practice. In
your last issue 81 G. F. discussed the
great difficulty, impossibility indeed of
each single lawyer keeping up his il
brary to the latest date, in the continu-
Gus issue OF new books, new law maya
zines and reports, &c, which are flood
ing the profession. 1t was timely
suggestion and ought to come to some
practical result without delay. If we
had in money what our books have
cost us, we could procure a combined
library, and house to put it iu, and
have a balance at the bankers.
Permit me however to call your at
tention to a smaller matter than the
above, but one of considerable import
ance, and of continuous expense and
annoyance to every lawyer at the bar.
And it is a nuisance which believe can
be abated, under the law. and ought to
be abated.
As read the Act of Assembly of
l6 June 1886 Section 63, p. l.. 772,-
"The sheriff shall give notice of every
sale of real estate by advertisement,
describing the same, and the time and
place of sale, as aforesaid, in at least
two newspapers printed in the county
where such real estate may be'-Ihe
Sheriff shall do so Does not that
act put the matter in his hands, and
certainly in the absence of Rule of
Court, leave it there and not subject
to the whim, or caprice or choice if
you will of the client or counsel The
doctrine that the counsel controls his
writ is sound as to whether he will
sell on it or stay it or any such matter,
but the advertisement is the business
of the sheriff, and he is responiible for
the faithful performance of that duty
and for its proper performance.
Aud now for the application of what
have been saying to the case IN
hand.
There are five newspapers published
in Columbia county. But two OF them
can get the sheriff's advertising, no
matter who controls it and / am will
ing to grant to the attorney in the
writ, the courtesy of suggestion as
to one of them but what about the
other four? My own opinion is, and
such think to be a proper construct.
ion of the law, that the sheriff should
select some one newspaper into which
all his official advertising should go
and in cases of sales of real estate the
other paper to be selected l'y the coun
sel in the writ,not as a matter OF right
but as matter of courtesy.
As the matter is now, in order to bt
sure that we have seen all the sheriff.
sa'es we must subscribe for five news
papers, where with proper legal ano
courteous adjustment, one would suf
fee. Reform is the order of the day
and in this matter, compliance will
the law and economical management
go hand in hand In some counties
there is Rule of Court on the subject

Death Calls Again.
SECRETARY BAYARD's WIFE CROSSES THE
DARK RIVER.

Mrs. Bayard, wife of the Secretary
of State, died at her residence, in
Washington. at $50 o'clock Sunday
morning. The immediate cause of
Mrs. Bayard's death was congestion of
the brain, brought on by the shock OF
her daughters sudden death three
weeks ago. For the first week follow
ing that event she stood the strain and
excitement quite well, but week ago
last Friday she was compelled to take
to her bed, and gradully grew worse
from day 10 day. On Thursday con-
gestion of the brain made its appear
ance. She was unconscious for
twenty-four hours before her death.
Although for years Mrs. Bayard had
been confirmed invalid, she had for
the last six months been in better
health than for many years. Last
summer she was very ill at her home
in Wilmington, Del, with compli-
cation of diseases of the liver aud
stomach. and her recovery at that time
was considered doubtful. AT the SO
licitation of her daughter, Miss Kate
she put herself under the care of DR.
Gardner, of Washington and under
his treatment she had improved 81
much as to be able to go into society
this winter, and although still an inva-
lid, she was in comparatively gooo
health when her daughter died. Sht
was about 81 years of age With the
exception of her daughter, Mrs. War
rem, of Boston, and her son who is il
Arizona, the family were present wher
she died. The body was taken tc
Wilmington for burial on Monday, anC
the funeral was held there on Tuesday
The death of Mrs, Bayard will have &
marked effect on social festivities al
the capital
The President was Immediately
notified of Mrs. Bayard's death and he
at once sent Colonel Lamont with {
note of coincidence to the Secretary
and later in the day Miss Cleveland
called at the house. Mr.. Bayard asked
that no official demonstration be made
and the President did not go to Will
mington. Several members of the
Cabinet, however, attended the funeral
Cabinet officers, Senators, Represen'
tatives, diplomats and public men gen
orally called at the Bayard mansion to
express their sympathy with the Secre
tary in his affiictior.

after the minor interests in Congress,

cial assistance in the payment Of their
campaign expense.
Mr. Dement, has shown his docu-
ments and told his story to one Repub-
lican Senator, and that is Genaral
Logan, who he says, expressed the
greatest amazenent at the disclosures.
He will have an interview with the
President, to whom he will submit a
brief of his discoveries. Several
people who have Mr.. Dement'S state

but he claims to be able to prove ali

LATER.
The official head of Richard S. De-
ment, of Illinois, recently appointed to
be United States surveyor general for
Utah, is in serious danger lie was
appointed about two months ago, but,
unless a transformation should occur in
the minds Of Senators Teller, Maxey
and Coke, he will never be confirmed.
He made sensational statements about
land frauds in Utah. and accused SEN
ators and members of Congress OF
having been bribed by the railroad
corporations and monopolists OF the
West at prices ranging from 81 5000
to S25,OO0. He indicated the geo
praphlcal location of certain of the
persons said to have been bribed with
such minuteness that their names
might Just as well have been publish
ed. Mr.. Dement, apparently did not
realize the broad char acter OF bis
charges until he saw them II
print, and now he denies that he
ever said anything attributed to hlm
save one paragraph "' his interyie"
that plasters Commissioner Sparks
with taffy.
The Commissioner, in an interview
repudiates D.ment, says he neVe'
made any such statements as were re
ported by his interviewer and denies
that land frauds of any magnitude, sc
far as he knows, have ever been com
mitted in Utah.

The cost of making these collections
was $4, 100000 or only three and sixty
seven hundreths per cent. of the aggre-
gate amount, which, considering the
immense business of some of the dis.
tricts, and the unavoidable expense Of
keeping it up properly, must be con-
sidered very reasonable and proper

whereas the collections for the year
ending June 80, 1886, were nearly
$4,000, 900, while those of the year

And hoped that her eyes would understand
What his tongue refused 10 say.

II seems so frlgllly cool, you know,
This Mister OF ours, and Miss

II she seemed inclined TO frown,
But the light In her eyes his heart-strings
smote
AS she blushlngly looked down,
She spoke no word, but she picked a speck
OF dust from his coat lapel;
So small, such a wee, little, tiny leek,
Twas wonder she saw so well;
But II brought her face so very near,
In that dim, uncertain light,
That the thought unspokon, was made quite
clear,
And know twas sweet Good might"
