There are in the city of Chicago
some decent men officiating as Justices
of the Peace. There are others who
are either dead beats, frauds, or scala
wags whose reappointment The
EAGLE proposes to fight.
That sterling iurist Judge Tuthill
has administered a severe rebuke to
Justices of the Peace who are in the
habit of committing persons to jail for
non-payment of debts, and denounced
the whole practice as being opposed to
the spirit of the law James Rafferty,,
a peddler, says that he left a number
of articles at the houses of customers,
and about SIS worth of goods were
taken off by persons who moved away.
His employers sued him for $4S. 80 be-
fore Justice Going, and, Immediately
after the case was heard and judgment
rendered against him. Constable Sam
Myers seized him on capias al salts

Rafferty, could not engage lawyer or

Like Al WcII-Meauing Organizations of
Foreigners, the Sons OF New York Have
Fallen Into the Hands of Politicians.
The Sons Of New York, composed Of
the flower of Chicagos population,
have fallen upon evil times. Organ
lied for purposes of sociability, they
have, like other well-meaning societies,
been captured by the politicians.
Two of the new officers of the order
have never been out of Office from the
time they joined the rubber ring.
Some of the others would never be out
of Office if they could help it. But
here is the list: President, De Witt

JAMES LICK, the California philan-
thropist, died in October, 1876, but
the contest over the construction of his
will is still going on in the California
courts. The latest point to which it
has been found necessary to give a legal
construction is the intention of Mr.
Lick as to the School of Mechanical
Arts, for the foundation and mainten-
ance of which he willed $40, GOO. The
fact that for over thirteen years his
executors have been trying to find a
way to carry out the provisions of his
last testament; the delay and loss
which have resulted, and the entire de-
feat of some Of his intentions, offer
striking proofs Of the advantage to rich
men in putting their benevolent pur-
poses into practice while they are alive
and can be sure that their wishes are
obeyed. Dollars never go so far in
philanthropy as when they are admin
tered by their owner himself.

they have an idea that they have a
chance to collect their costs by sending

formality in the record of commit
ment. If these Justices want to i'm
prison people for debt they must see
that their IS are crossed and their is
dotted"
Attorney Emery 5. Walker, who
represented the prosecution, made a
feeble effort to get an appeal from the
ruling of the court, but this was re-
fused him.
The Executive Committee of the
Citizens Association submits the fol-
lowing on this question:
"The reformation of our system of
justices courts has bad the attention
of the Bar Association, but no legisla-
ton on the subject was obtained. 1t
seems to be universally conceded that
the mode of appointment of justices is
not suited to our present wants, how
ever wise it may have appeared to the
trainers of the constitution twenty
years since. Large and growing cities
in this country have experienced the
same difficulties in establishing a
beneficial system of interior jurispru-
dence that we encounter, but not in
the same degree, because in no in
stance have the conditions changed 50
rapidly from the growth of population.
. The situation is one which compre-
hends the interests of all classes of the
community, but it cannot be relieved
except by Legislative action and the
solution of the question must be de
ferred until the whole plan of our
municipal government is rcmodeled to
suit present exigencies Meanwhile
the arraignment of one Justice before
another on charge of conspiracy, and
his subsequent deposition from office is
not an edifying spectacle; nor are such
practices as have been the subject OF
journalistic exposure calculated to ele-
vate our sense of the dignity or justice
Of the Poor Mans Court. The law
for the incarceration of debtors is
doubtless, too often abused in its exc
cution."

THE EXPERT ACCOUNTANT.
soDse OF the Doin0s OF the Men Hho Work
at Figures.

at Figures.
The expert accountant is one of the
necessities of modern civilization. lie
Knows all the intricacies of figures and
account books. He is indispensable 70
the great corporations. He can take
great masses of books and evolve bal
ance sheet. He complies reports; he
adjusts averages for the insurance com
panies. He is called in TO settle the
business arrangements of railroads and
stock companies, and gets order ont OF
chaotic masses Of figures. He knows
how to make annual reports look at
tractive, and not unfrequently makes
ugly accounts look straight.
One of the most important functions
of the expert accountant is to show up
defaulters. 1t often happens that bust
ness men find their affairs getting en-
tangled. They know they have been
making money; but, somehow, they
are running behind. They have relied
upon some trusted bookkeeper. So
far as they can see the books are all
right, but the results are unsatisfac-
tory. They do not like to suspect the
trusted servant, but they want to be
satisfied. The expert accountant is
called in with great secrecy, and or
dered to go over the books at night.
Then the exposure comes; the cooked
accounts are exposed; the forced bal
ance is shown up; the amount of the
defalcation is set down in plain figures.
1t is surprising how many concerns
there are doing large business who are
absolutely dependent upon their book.
keepers, and are utterly helpless to find
out exactly where the trouble is,
although they may be convinced that
something is wrong The expert ac-
countant may strike it at the first
glance. He may delve for weeks be-
fore he reaches the solution. He learns
lots of secrets, but he is dumb as an
oyster, and keeps his discoveries only
for the ear Of the employer. If he is
kind-hearted he advises the defaultor
to pay up before the exposure comes.
There are a number of expert account
ants in New York who make business
of uuraveling tough accounts. Their
charges are high, but they are in great
demand 1t is said to be almost an in
variable rule that when an expert ac-
countant is called in to go over cooked
account books the culprit will own up
and help in getting a correct statement

INTERESTING statistics gathered by a
prominent English physician indicate
that consumption is very greatly pro-
NOTED by damp soil. and its presence
has been abated, even to the extent os
40 per cent, where suitable drainage
has been introduced Researches of
other physicians including the we'll
known Dr. Bowditch, of Massachu-
setts, confirm this conclusion and de-
termine that the amount of moisture
in the soil is fair criterion of the pro-
portion of consumption among the
residents. Local causes are becoming
more ard more disregarded, and the
infectious nature of consumption is
receiving increased attention from
physicians.
