SUPREME COURT REFORM.

The new chief justice of the supreme
our OF the United States appears to
have infused some new life into the
work of that tribunal. Going to his
duties fresh from an active practice, in
which he had learned the necessity of
pushing the work to be done, and find
ing the docket of the supreme court
filed with cases, ONE Of which might
not be reached for years under the slow
court, he seems to have determined to
reform the practice and to hurry for
ward the business. The sessions
of the court last but four hours,
and as the lawyers on each
side are allowed two hours for
argument the limit Of the assign
ments is never reached, consequently it
is difficult for everyone to tell when
their cases will be reached, and the CAL
culations have to be made by the clerk.
The plan of the chief justice is to rem
edy this, and it is said that he has been
pushing the work so vigorously that the
clerk has now to frequently telegraph
CNClyohS "looo SooCo WSic uOI W nc
reached until December that they are
likely to be called in a few days.
This is to be commended, since it is
not to be supposed that "a little more
energy on the part of the supreme
bench will in the least detract from the
merit or value of the decision. Unques-
tionably there has been urgent need
of the policy which Chief Justice
Fuller is reported to have inaugurated.
But N the less the necessity remains
for providing a way to relieve the SUI
preme court of a part Of the vast amount
Of business that is contiu ually presented
to it, and which must increase with the
growth OF the country. Several plans
have from time totime been introduce d
in congress, only to be buried in COM
mittee rooms. The oonsummation to be
desired is that the supreme court shall
be enabled to transact its business SO
that it shall not, as now, be a refuge for
corporations that can afford to wait to
the great loss aud injury of those who
cannot afford to wait, and by delay de-
feat justice.

EASTERN railroad circles continue to
be very much interested in the move
ments of the Richmond Terminal COM
pany, whose recent absorption of two of
the most important and extensive south
ern lines of railroad was the most inter-
esting event OF the kind that has oc-
CURED this year. 1t is now reported
that the Terminal company is seeking
to fasten its tentacles upon the Balti-
more & Ohio, in order to secur a line
to New York. II it should be successful
in this, and also draw in the Reading,
and it is not improbable that both may
be done, the Terminal system would
have a route between the north and the
south which would become one Of the
great arteries of trade. The operations
Of this company are being noted with
great interest in railroad circles.

THE Iowa railroad commissioners, in
their decision in the cases presented by
the iobbers of Davenport, Dubuque and
Burlington charging the railroads with
conspiracy to maintain high and eXtor-
tionate rates and discrimination against
Iowa cities, arralgns the roads for pur-
suing a policy regarding rates which
has been almost destructive of the man
ufacturing interests of Iowa and seri-
ously detrimental 70 all interests in the
state. Discrimination in Interstate
rates was fully shown by the evidence,
and while the commission is powerless
to afford any relief from this,
it is the opinion hat a rem
edy should be found in a fair
reduction of local rates within the state.
IL the state Of affairs pointed out by the
Iowa commission is so great a detriment
to the business and prosperity of that
state, how much more must Nebraska
suffer from the greater discrimination
of the railroads against this state. Iowa
is highly favored as compared with
Nebraska, both as to Interstate and
local rates, and yet there is we'll
founded complaint there. The time is
near at hand when our people will give
a more serious attention to this subject
than they have recently given, and
when there will be action productive Of
results. '

He bit his lip at the carelessly uttered

NEVER was a community so wronged

NEVER was a community so wronged
as Dakota has been. It's exclusion from
statehood is a disgrace to the nation for
permitting the democracy to remain in

there would be a big decrease in the

For three successive years have the
farmers of western Kansas lost their
corn crops by, drought, and the conse-
quence is that they are IN a state of ex-
IRENE poverty verging on actual desti-
tuition. 1t has been suggested that
drought may be prevented by tree
planting, because it is caused by hot
winds, and the force of these would be
broken by rows Of trees in sufficient
numbers. 1t is true mat tree planting
has been fonnd eflcacious in Nebraska,

winds hat blow from the Ameri-
can desert that stretches from the west

A CORRESPONDENT writes to THE

American buy a vessel of any foreign
power, and sail it under the United

flag of the country from whence pur-
chased? He cannot sail it under the
United States flag, neither a he sail
it under a flag to whose protection he

rangement with some foreign person

Daniel Webster Before a Jury.

From Men ana Measures OF Hall n
Century" by the Hon. Hugh McCul-
loch:-Mr. Webster was the only man |
ever knew or heard OF who united IN
himself the highest qualities of an ad-
yocate, orator, and debater. He has
never been excclled, if equalled, in
making difficult and intricate questions
ineligible to jurors. Seeing clearly
the real points at issue, and using Ian
guage that anybody could understand,
his statements of the points at issue
were arguments. He never permitted
the minds of jurors to be diverted from
the real question upon which II case
turned. Brushing aside everything
that was not essential, the strong points
only were presented by him, and those
with exceeding %clearness. | was
struck with this the first time /
heard him before a jury. He was de-
Tending a man who had been indicted
for forgery. To obtain a verdict it was
necessary that the state should not only
prove that the forgery had been COM
mitted, but that the forged instrument
had been uttered in Suffolk county,
where the case was being tried. To my
surprise, at the very commencement OF
the trial, before a witness had been
called, Mr.. Webster rose to his feet and
said, in a quiet manner, "May it please
the court, we admit the forgery, so that
evidence on this point will be unneces-
sary. We deny that the note was ut
tered in this county" | was amazed at
this admission. To me it seemed to be
giving away the case. But the wisdom of
1t soon became apparent. Webster was
quite sure that the forgery could be
proved, but he doubted that the State
would be able TO prove that the paper
had peer issued in Suffolk county. His
doubts were confirmed. The defendant
was aquited for want Of proof on this
point. If both the question OF forgery
and the issue OF the paper in the county
had been presented, the jury might
have regarded the forgery as the real
question, and the defendant might not
have escaped the punishment which he
merited.

which are sufficiently startling to com

which are sufficiently startling to com
mand attention. The figures show that
there has been In alarming increase in
the extent and value OF timber depre-
dations, though they were less extern
sive last year than the year before and
in some previous years, They amounted,
however, for 1857, TO over six million
dollars in value. OF which the govern
meut received but little more than two
per cent, while the total of these depre-
dationsdurlng the last sever years has
amounted to the large sum OF ove thir-
ty-six million dollars, Of which the gov
eminent has recovered less Than half a
million dollars. These figures certainly
give some impressiveness to the argu-
ment that there must be a thorough
organization of a forestry service in
order to effectually guard this class Of
government property, such service to
include a sufficient number of forest in
spectors and rangers to insure full and
adequate protection for the remaining
forest preserves.
The duty and necessity OF check
ing the systematic robbery of
the public timber lands is OBJ
vious, but there are other con-
siderations quite as important. Re-
ferring specially to the yellow stone
park forests, Prof. Hogue, of the geo.
logical survey, says they exert a power
full influence in sheltering the snow
fields, marshes and meadows from the
direct rays of the sun and the dry, mois-
ture-absorbing winds from the west.
Strip the plateau and mountains of tim
Der and early freshets would soon lay
waste the lower country in spring and
leave it arid and parched throughout
the summer and autumn. There would
seem to be nothing wanting in the
argument Of facts to o nvince congress
that further legislation is urgently nee
essary for the preservation and protec-
tion OF the timber or the public domain.

The pasteur Treat ment.

Globe Democrat: Jean Bouvral, the
ste ware OF the fashionable club at Or
ange, New Jersey, who was bitten by a
mad dog on September Is, has just re-
turned from Paris, where he was
treated by the Pasteur process. He is
entirely cured. He sailed four days af-
ter he was bitten. Treatment by in
oculation began on October2 2, continued
until October 10, when Bouvral was
pronounced out of danger. In an inter-
view to-day Bouvral said, speaking of
the Pasteur institution and method:
The patients do not remain there as
at a hospital, but have accommodations
at hotels and houses neal by. ] entered
the place and found myself in a large
waiting room in which were
q large number of chairs and
benches. This room was daily
filed with patients, between $50 and 200
being under treatment while l was
there. The custom of the institute is
first to i~noculate those patients who
have been last bitten and who come last.
This is done so that the poison may be
as quickly offset as possible. Being the
last to come, my name was called first,
although there were many patients
waiting for treatment when | entered.
From the waiting-rOom l was taken into
a smaller room, where one of M. Pas
teur's assistants o my name, my age,
residence and all about how | was bit
ten. This was done to determine
whether or not the applicant needs to
be inoculated; for if the dog in biting
did not draw blood there is no necessity
for treatment. From the registry room
| went into the operating room, where
w more of NJ. Pasteur'S assistants
were in constant attendance. NJ. Pas
tour does not operate himself, but the
work of inoculating is under his
direction and he visits the insti-
tute every day. 1 saw him sew
eral times while there. In order to be
operated upon my side was barred and a
place just above the hip carefully
washed with some solution, then one Of
the physicians filed a small syringe
with the virus, a yellowish looking
liquid, and passed it to the other, who
gathered the skin in fold, passed the
pointed end Of the syringe in between
the flesh and skin, and injected the
liquid. The first injection l could feel
all through my body, causing IA singing
sensation. 1t was hardly possible to tell
where the syringe entered after the OPP
GRAFTON was over. [ was inoculated twice
a day, once on each side, alternating for
the first five days, and for thirteen days
more only once a day, alternating the
sides. On October 49, / was declared
cured and given a certificate to that
effect. l had felt no ill effects from the
bite, and none from the incubation.
While under treatment l met men
from all over the world, scarcely a
country on the globe not having its
