ACCORDING to decision Of the q. s. Su'
preme Court, rendered last Monday the Grim
inaliiy of perjury lies not in the act ITSELF
nor of the object for which it is committed
but in the character of the officer before
whom the false oath is taken. In other
words, man who had committed perjury
was discharged, not because he was guiltless
of the crime, but because the officer before
whom he had committed it was appointed
by the State, and not by the federal govern
ment And such is the justice dealt out by
the highest court in the land.

the conductors have invariably let me pass
and have torn out coupons enough the next
