Above the Courts.

WAsHIKeToE, October 24.-In August,
defendants in the case of the contest
against a public land entry in Oxford
land district, in Idaho, sued out a writ
of prohibition in the district court of
of the third judicial district in that ter
ritory, to restrain the register and re
ceiver from taking testimony in respect
70 the validity of the entry and COM
pliance by entry made with the re
quirements of law. Commissioner
Sparks reported the matter to SecI etary
Lamar, with a recommendation that
he request the Attorney-General to
il struct the United Sta es Attorney by
telegraph to appear without delay be-
fore the court issuing the writ and have
the same dissolved, on the ground that
the court transcribed its jurisdiction
ia attempting TO interfere with United
States land officers in the discharge Of
duties involving the exercise Of their
judgment and discretion. The Score
tary concurred with the Commissioner
and at his request the Attorney
General gave the necessary instructions
to the District Attorney. That officer
has now reported that on the 14th
instant the court, Chief Justice Hays
presiding, made an order vacating and
di solving said writ. This action is re
garded by the general land Office as i'm
portant in view of the question of
authority recently raised, and is said
also to be in accordance with decisions
of the Supreme Court of the United
States for three-quarters of a century,
that courts have no power to control
the action of the executive department
In its investigation and adjudication of
public land entries before patents have
been issaed

Important Decision.

WASHINGTON, October 25.-The Su-
preme Court, to-day, rendered deci-
sion in the case of the Wabash, st.
Louis 4 Pacific Railway Company,
against the people of the State of Hi
nois, brought up on a writ of error
from the Supreme Court. The case was
one of alleged unjust discrimination in
violation of the State laws in 1871. re-
Vised In 1873. The decision is, in effect,
hat state law designed to regulate
charges cannot apply to interstate
traffic, as such application would
trench upon the constitutional powers
Of Congress, and be damaging restric-
ton of the freedom Of traffic. The rul-
ing OF the Supreme Court of Illinois is
reversed. The opinion is by Justice
Miller, the chief justice, and Justice
Bradley dissenting.

canal days. The subject which brought out
 th@ story was the question as to whether
 President Garfield possessed much moral
 courage. The officer said: "Whether
 James A. Garfield had moral courage in g
 high degree or not I do not know I am
 sure he possessed 8 remarkable amount of physical courage, and heard of an instance
 of this while he was yet in Congress. It
 was on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chi cago road. l was coming from Chicago to
 Washington. As we neared Fort Wayne 8 gentleman came into the sleeper, and, asking my permission, sat down beside me. In the course of conversation he informed me that he was division superintendent of the line. upon learning that I was going to Washing ton he asked: And how is Jimmy Garfield getting along down thereF I told him I was acquainted with Representative Garfield, and he then went on to say that he had been the captain of canal boat in connection with which Garfield a boy was driver. He said that Garfield was very brave at that time-that he would fight any fellow who dared knock chip off his shoulder. 'One Saturday night said he, when we tied the boat up to stop for Sunday, Jimmy came to me and asked if he might not leave the boat until starting time the next day, as he wanted to go to a little town about 12 miles on. gave him permission and away he went. The next day shortly after noon he came back with a pair of the blackest, eyes I have ever seen on boy or man. I asked him what was the matter, and he told me there was a boy in the village where he had been who had boasted to friend of his some months previous that he could whip Jim Garfield out of his boots, and that he had decided that as soon as he got the chance to go to the town he would give him the oppurtunity of doing 50 He had walked all that 12 miles and back again merely to fight the boy. and | think he whipped him. After returned to Wash ington told Garfield this story. He laugh ed, but would not affirm that it was true nor deny it."

A Complaint.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The city ordinance requiring snow to be removed from the sidewalks promptly if con- siderately enforced is necessity. But to bounce lawsuit upon an unsuspecting own CT of tenant house for apparent neglect without notice or inquiry is barbarous se- verity. Two old ladies now occupy tenant house for their eighth year and have always removed snow from their sidewalk promptly. Snow fell on Friday night and all day Satur day. On Saturday they had man shovel off the snow from the sidewalk. As the snow on the sidewalk Sunday morning did not obstruct or endanger travel, out of re- spect for the holy Sabbath day they did not go after man to clear the sidewalk until Monday morning, for which the owner was sued for $25, who had no knowledge or ap- prehension of any neglect until the writ was served on him. A bill of costs add ed would make some $35 to $40. If the officer had stepped to the door of either the tenants or owner, and said that the walk it would have been done at once with the thanks of the owner. It would have taken less time and labor than to report to the prosecuting attorney, and the public be as well served. Some men in office are like rabid canine. They want to hurt some body. They take savage pleasure in put ting somebody to grief. Such men ought not to be entrusted with office. The object of law and it's enforcement is to secure der. The easi st and kindest way is the best if successful. For the officers of the govern ment to oppress the taxpayers who pay them their salaries is ungrateful and malicious.

AN INTERESTING DECISION.


 A case of interest to every depositor in a savings bank has just been decided by the New York Court of Appeals. It also shows the importance of precision in the use of words.
 The plaintiff in this case was one of the Smiths He was depositor in the Brook lyn savings bank and the bank had paid out his money to a stranger who presented his book. The bank claimed that it was justi- fled in making the payment by that part of it's bylaws printed in every passbook which stipulates that f'all payments made by the bank upon the presentation of the passbook and duly entered therein will be regarded as binding upon the depositor." This claim was sustained by the two lower courts, but these decisions are now reversed by the Court of Appeals.
 The Court of Appeals says that a savings bank may protect itself by printed by Jaw to which the depositor must be taken to agree-authorizing the bank to pay money to any person producing the depositors book. But the bylaw must be clear and ex press to that effect, and even then the bank is bound to exercise reasonable care and dili gence to guard against fraudulent or wrong lul payueutS. Dy-laW III these WOrOS naS been held sufficiently clear and specific to protect the bank: ''All payments made to persons producing the deposit books shall be deemed good and valid payments to de- positors." In this case the bylaw was net considered plain enough. It was that "all payments made by the bank upon the pre- sentation of the passbook," etc. All pay ments made to whom2 the Court of Appeals asks. To any person who may present the books Or only to the depositor or someone acting with his authoritya The bank claim ed the former. The Court of Appeals re- plies: 'That may have been the understand ing and intention of the bank in framing the bylaw, but in order to make that understand ing obligatory upon the customer it was also necessary that he should have similar un- derstanding or that the law should have been expressed in language incapable of any other fair construction"
 Mr Smith will therefore get his meney back and the bank will learn a useful lesson The point made is pretty fine one

| as any foreign firm, they could not success, l fully bid for such an important undertaking. Robert Giffen, the celebrated English economist, doesn't see any difficulty in the Irish land problem. He would have the inn perial government buy out all the Irish land
 lords at twenty years purchase. For this
 purpose he would have new issue of con-
 sols to the amount of s160,00 900. He
 would then give the land, thus released, to
 the occupiers-the present Irish tenantry and
 peasantry-subject to rent charge of (say)
 from one-half to two-thirds the present
 called judicial rent. This rent charge (which
 would be, as he computes, nearly equivalent
 to the interest on the 60,000,0O loan) he
 would make payable to the Irish treasury,
 and not to the imperial treasury. He would give the Irish authorities ample power to en- force it's regular payment, and he would re- quire them in consideration of it to assume the entire burden of expenditure for local purposes in Ireland now borne by the imper- ial exchequer. In other words, he would ''throw the cost of the local government in Ireland upon Irish resources exclusively, and give the Irish people the rent of the country for the purpose of conducting it."
 Senator Hoar's bill for the better distribu- tion of public documents is intended to serve 8 useful purpose. It proposes that copy of every document printed at the gov ernment printing office shall be supplied to each of the depositaries of public documents designated by law. These depositaries are ATT in number, one in each of the 325 con gressional districts, and two designated by each of the 76 senators. They are the ibrar- ians of the chief public libraries, and the documents supplied to them become parts of the libraries and are should be arranged so to be readily consulted by persons in search of the information they contain Many public documents now supplied to these depositaries, but many which are among the most valuable and most frequent ly consulted are not, and must be procured, if they are obtained at all, by purchase or by the special favor of members of Congress. Others, whose value is less apparent and which would very rarely be called for, may be of great advantage to some special in- auirer, and it is desirable that somewhere, not very far from his home and in the cus- tody of librarian who will have them con veniently arranged for reference, he may be sure of finding them.

lookout for benefits to come than for past
 services, but family affection was strong in
 it's heart. Young rats were not only kind,
 but respectful to their aged relations and, indeed, to old rats in general. Mothers, di- reetly they had weaned their little ones, not only brought them te Louise's cell, but placed them at her feet and seemed to ask her protection for them. There were rats toothless from age. When a crust was thrown to them younger rats chewed it so as to enable them to eat it comfortably If young rat was so ill-bred as to help itself be- fore an elderly one the others were down upon it.
 Before the cats had been taught to live in amity with the denizens of the sewers Moustache bit the paw off one of the lat ter. According to Louise Michel, there was quite an explosion of sympathy among her four footed visitors on behalf of the wounded one, and she gained their conf- dencs by letting it down with string from her window into the court, after she had nursed it for about fortnight. When she had been some time in jail the rats grew so dainty that they would not eat plain bread unless she got it toasted for them. The governor of the prison, who was most kind to her, and who is a ,tu- ralist and un homme d'esprit enjoyed her successful attempts to bring cats and rats to live in amity and to tame the latter. She could never domesticate them. No sooner had she fed them than they all climbed up the wall to the window and passed out there by to return to their sewers

 "One year ago I was apparently so far gone with Consumption that my life seemed only question of days rather than months. With my faith in the ability of physicians to help me all gone, I tried almost every known remedy, with no apparent benefit. Finally, as last resort, I was induced to try Dr. R. C. Flowers Lung Cordial. The very first dose gave me relief, and with the first bottle I took new lease of life, and 1 can honestly say to-day that one spoonful of this remedy is worth more to the sufferer from Lung troubles than a gallon of any other known remedy. A bottle of it is now one of my choicest possessions, and at the first sympton of a cough cold fly to it for the relief it never fails to give'
 DR. FLOWERS LUNG COR- DIAL is without question the most wonderful Lung remedy ever discovered. It eradicates the germ of CONSUMPTION as no remedy has ever been known to do. It stands without rival for COUGHS, COLDS, BRON- CHITIS, ASTHMA and CON- SUMPTION.
