WHO is RESPONSIBLE?
Bailifr Carleton Comes to the Front with a
Defense Of Himself and Judge Norton.

The remark of Judge Norton, a day or two
since in regard to the settlement of liquor cases
in his court, and the emphatic statement of
Prosecuting Attorney Harding correcting it, bid
fair to bring out the truth about liquor prosecu-
tons. Bailiff Carleton said yesterday that the
reference of the prosecutor to the arranging of
the trial calendar was not warranted. ut is
true, continued the bailiff that in the Superior
courts the judges and bailfs make up the calen-
dars, but the practice in the Criminal Court has
been for the prosecuting attorney to set the
cases. This has been done ever since have had
any correction with the court. Judge Norton
had nothing TO do with the calendar until the
cases were called for trial / fixed the
time for trials on the instructions of Mr..
Harding and his assistant, Mr.. Healing Tho
prosecutor always retained the grand Jury notes
of liquor cases in his possession and for the
most part summoned the witnesses himself /
have had no grand jury notes except in three
cases, and then they came into my hands by &C
cident l received my list of witnesses alto
gether from Harding AS to the calendar being
full of felony cases, why there have been in each
week three or four days at time when we did
nothing. Mr.. Harding had no need to wait an
opportunity to try those accused Of violating the
liquor laws. He has been an able and hard
working prosecuting attorney. but I protest
against his shifting the responsibility of failure
in liquor cases. He is responsible for every case
set for trial."

Afraid of His wife,s Relatives.

John Williams, young married man of many
tribulations, sought refuge at the station house
last night, from the vengeance of his wifes rela-
tives. According to his story, he was married
two years ago to Mary Zeieler They lived
agreeably until he incurred the i'll will of his
mother-ln-law, about one year ago, and life to
him since has been miserable. As fast as be
would accumulate household furniture his
mother-in-law would carry it off, and
he finally had to begin boarding.
Two weeks ago his father-in-law and
wife charged him with stealing $25 from them,
and had him arrested and from the evidence in
the Mayors court he was turned over to the
grand jury. Yesterday he discovered five letters
his wife had received from young man, and
when he called her attention to them she told
him if he did not give them up she would shoot
him. His father-in-law and the young man who
wrote the letters also threatened him with vo
lence and followed him nearly to the station
house. He will swear out warrant for the ar
rest of all of them this morning.

WANTS soLAcE FOR HIS CONSCIENCE.
DR.. Morrison Defers Qualifying Until After the
Investigation Of the Election Frauds

DIR. Wagner yesterday withdrew his suit for
contest for the coroners Office from the County
Commissioners Court. DR.. Morrison has re-
ceived his commission, but declines to qualify
until week after next He proposes to wait for
the action of the United States grand jury in
reference to the election frauds. If that body
fails to indict anyone it is presumed the changes
in the tallysheets will not have in his eyes such
an appearance of criminality, and he can there
fore satisfy his conscience by accepting the
Office, for which he has only an apparent ma
jority through the Wagner tallies in the first pre-
cinct of the Twenty third ward being robbed of
twenty-seven votes. AS soon as DR.. Morrison
qualities he will have quo warranto proceedings
TO meet. This process is favored by DIR. Wag-
ner and Mr. Irwin, the criminal iudge-eiect, be-
cause 1t promises more speedy settlement or
the question. By the time the County Commits
sioners get through with the evidence, it is sup
posed they would allow few weeks to elapse
before giving decision on a matter of so great
moment, Involving the interests of two Demo
Gratis. one of whom has assumed Office, while the
other wants to do the same thing, on alleged ma
jorities A decision of this kind would, doubt
less, be followed by an appeal to me Circuit
Court and in time the case would possibly reach
the Supreme Court, as neither contestor nor
contestee would stop short of final judgment.
The quo warranto proceedings, it is thought, af-
ford more rapid progress.
The United States grand jury, frcm outside in
dications, seems to regard the evidence to the
election frauds of formidable character When
the investigation began it was thought the exam
nation of witnesses could be closed within
day or two, but facts beget facts in this instance
1t became necessary to send out subpoenas for
new witnesses Sim Coy, Henry n Span and
Patriot Eden supposed to be included in
these extra summonses. Sam Perkins's name has
also been casually mentioned as one whose tes-
timony is wanted. The popular inquiry is
whether any indictment will be returned, and
have read the published accounts of the canvass
ing boards outrages or know anything about
them through current talk that crime was COM
mitted. The jury will not resume it's investiga-
tions until Monday afternoon, and it is not ex-
pected that the work will be completed until
Wednesday or Thursday.

Mr.. Grant Allen remarks that the help
~lessness and awkwardness of fish out of
water have been much exaggerated by
the thoughtless generalization of unset
entific humanity. While most fish pre-
fer the water, many Of them cut a better
figure OF dry land than most of their
critics themselves would cut in mid
ocean. There are fish that wriggle
across-country i%ntrepidly with the dex-
terity and agility Of the most accom-
plished snakes; fish that walk about ON
open ~sand-banks, semi-erect on two legs,
as easily as lizards; fish that hop and
skip ON tail and fins in a manner that the
celebrated j~umping-frog himself might
envy; and fish that fly through the air
with a grace and swiftness that would
put TO shame hosts of their feathered
competitors. There are even fish,
like some kinds of GELS and the Az
rican mud-fish, that scarcely five in water
at all, but merely frequent wet and
marshy places, where they lie snugly in
the soft Va and damp earth that line
the bottom.-Arkansaw Traveller.

an Persia church and state are prac-
tically one. The Koran is the law Of the
land and Of the family. 1t goes into
family matter in the minutest way. II it
was published in New York 10000
Anthony Comstocks would rise to sup
press it. 1t leaves nothing to be supplied
by the Imagination and calls a spade n
spade in every case. There is great relig-
ious liberation in Persia, however, and a
man may believe in any God or no God,
or may himself as God, as long
as he acknowledges that Mahomet is his
prophet and obeys the secular laws Of the
Koran.
The people are quick-witted and given
to poetry and philosophic speculation
more than TO the exact sciences. The ex-
ecutive ability of the rulers is developed
to a high degree and justice is dispensed
impartially, with occasional exceptions of
despotic cruelty and bribery. There are
5000 Fireworshipers in Persia, and the
sacred flame has burned uninterruptedly
for 1900 years. There is one good point
about the Fireworshipers. Fire with
them is sacred, and therefore they object
to smoking. No greater insult can be
offered to a Parasee gentleman than to
omoke in his presence. -Ex-Minister Ben
jamin's Lecture.
