INTER IpAno: Lawsuits are often
entered into hastily and for frivolous
reasons. Single cases cost the tax
payers of this county hundreds Of
thousands of dollars and often impov-
erish those who engage in them. ANY
system that will reduce their number
is certainly public benefit. Such a
system is now being introduced into
the United States, and, IN view of its
Importance, its workings will be
watched with interest. Probably
Idaho will see fit by the next session
OF the legislature to introduce it into
her statutes,
Iowa is the first state to agitate the
reform. The plan consists in elect
ing township or precinct Courts Of
Conciliation," whose business it shall
be to settle disputes. No suit can he
taken into the ordinary courts until
after Il has come before them. The
only cost about it will bo the salary
OF the "eourt." Lawyers will not be
admitted. The parties in dispute
will appear personally; witnesses will
be called il necessary; aud tho court
will generally settle the dispute and
its decision be accepted by the par.
ties without the cost of suit.
That the system is successful is
well proven by its workings in other
countries. From figures before us
we see that during the 10 years it
has been in force in Denmark, two
thirds of the cases that came before
the ''oourts of Cancellation" were set
tied there; only one-third were car
ried to the ordinary courts. II two
thirds Of our litigation in Idaho can
be thus easily avoided the system is
well worth trial.

stated, had been induced, against the
wishes Of his parents, to join party of en-

mon farmer named Joseph Holbert but was
unable to save enough to help continue the
search, until pretending to join the Church.
Then Rutter got money and sent some to

ton Of affairs in Utah were intercepted,
andeothen substituted urging her to come

WAsHIseroN, July 16.-The signal ofacs

says: Reports from the corn and wheat
States of the central valleys of the NORTH
west indicate that the weather during the
past week has been favorable for the grow
Ing crops, especially corn, potatoes and
grass. which have doubtless been generally
improved byy recent rains. Reports from
Kentucky and Tennessee indicate that the
weather during the past week has generally
improved the condition of corn and tobao,
co. Staple crops in the Southern States
have been very much improved by the ia
yorable weather during the last week, and
for cane and rice in Louisiana. Rains in
the Middle Atlantic States during the past
week slightly delayed harvest work and
has greatly improved the conditions of the
growing crops, especially corn and pota-i
toes In New England the rainfall and
temperature were below the normal during
the week, and the deficiency in rainfall will
doubtless reduce the yield in the hay crop.
In Tennessee and Arkansas local storms and
heavy rains injured crops, Oats and fax
In Kansas, wheat in Illinois and Southern
Michigan, and hay in Souhern Minnesota,
have generally been attended by favorable
weather.

In the tariff discussion the vexatious wool

NEW YORK, July 16.-Gecrge Jones, edit
or of the New York Times and the execu-
tor Of Oliver Hoyt, paid in cash to the U.
8. Trust Company the Grant fund, amount
ing to about $240, 700. The action was tax
en- in the fund, expressed at a meeting held
at the office of Oliver Hoyt on October %,
1885, two months after the death of Gener-
al Grant. When the fund was raised, il
was invested in Wabash bonds, and UP to
this time tina Grant heirs drew seven per
cent. from them. On the reorganization of
the Wabash road cash was received for the
bonds, and 1t is now in the hands of the U.
States Trust Company for reinvestment
Among the resolutions passed at the meet
ing of the Trustees in October, 1885, was
this one:
"Resolped, first, That the fund be placed
in the hands of trustees to pay the income
to Mrs. Grant during her lie, and after her
decease to the children of General Grant
during their respective lives. and on their
decease, respectively, that the fund be dis
tributed to their descendants per stripes
and not per capita"
This means that the income of the money
is to 60 in equal shares to the immediate
offsprings of General Grant, and that the
income of each share is afterward to be di-
vided among his or her children's children.
A per capita division means that the in
