At the Orleans County Court last
week was tried the case OF >. a:
Cleveland of Coventry VS.. /. l.. Pearl
& Co. of Johnson. The case was a
peculiar one, involving mixed issues
of law and fact, and is, as given III
evidence. as follows: The Defendants
bought of the Plaintiff, 5. a. Cleve-
land of Coventry, in June, 1888, the
latter's wool, to be delivered at the
store of Geo. R. HOyt in Westfield.
The Defendants, through Jed. Pearl,
the Junior member of the Defendant
firm of |. l.. Pearl & Co. of Johnson,
testified that it was stipulated at the
time of the purchase that they would
leave the money with said HOyt to
pay for said wool; this, however,
cleveland denied, as he did that
there was ever anything in any
manner mentioned relative to the
time. mode or place of payment.
The wool was delivered agreeably
to contract, on the 22d day of June,
1883, and the Plaintiff took in pay
ment therefor of Hoyt $135, and his
(Hoyt's) check for S137.4O. Cleve-
land testified that at the time Hoyt
said he had only $135 inmoney, while
a deposition from Hoyt was put into
the case which stated that he (Hoyt)
offered at the time to pay the Plain
tiff the money, but that he preferred
the check. The Defendant swOre to
having given HOyt themOney tOpay
for the wool. Cleveland negotiated
the check and before it reached Bar
ton bank, on which it was drawn,
Hoyt had filed a petition in the
court of insolvency and became an
insolvent debtor. The defense moved
for a verdict on two grounds: LIST,
that the taking of the check in pay
ment was a discharge of the Defend
ant; I'd, if it was not, the neglect Of
the Plaintiff to make presentation
for payment at once would so
operate.
Touching the first ground, the
Court instructed the jury that if they
found that Cleveland in fact elected
to take the check when the money
was offered him, then they must find
for the Defendants. The second
ground resting entirely upon a mat
ter law, the Court held the presenta-
ton to have been duly made, and
with reasonable diligence. The jury
were out a few minutes and returned
a verdict for the Plaintiff to recover
$137.40 together with interest and
costs. Prouty and Farrell appeared
for the Plaintiff, and Hon. l.. II.
for the Defendants.

Speaker Reed.

Speaker Reed is right, if not all
right. 1t has been the custom for
nearly sixty years for a minority on
either side now and then to screw
down the brakes of legislation by sit
ting in their seats and refusing to
vote either way when their names
were called. Then one member would
arise and call attention to the fact
that there was no quorum, and a call
of the house would result, which CON
sumed time, was often repeated for
days, until the majority was tired
out. Both parties resorted to "filli-
clustering upon occasions and were
equally culpable, though we believe
We are right in saying that it was a
Democratic invention.
All good men were tired of this bad
habit, and Speaker Reed and few
Others had the courage DOW to say
it should be stopped. So thespeaker
prevented the usual call of the house
by counting those who We're there,
though silent, and thus made a quo
rum. OF course there was a howl in
the bear-garden" then, but the
speaker could not see a Democrat
seeking to make dilatory motions.
We believe-we hope-he has beat
en- the minority in a parliamentary
way so soundly that they viii behave
in the future, even though the time
may come when it would be handy to
fSfllibuster" on the other side. Andif
there is anything Unwarrantable in
the action of the speaker, let him be
legally condemned This, however,
is a case where all the sympathy
ought to 60 with the upper dog.

Considerable attention just now is
being given to discussing theprohibi-
tory laws of this State, and in con-
nection Herewith two or three news
papers are making desperate efforts
to arouse enthusiasm in behalf OF
high license. We have no doubt but
that the papers which advocate high
license are honest in their efforts to
bring it about, and perhaps have
given the subject much study. But
as far as investigation goes it is very
evident that the public pulse beats
loudly and with no uncertain sound
for a continuation of ourpresentpro-
hibitory laws The public are not
yet ready to take on high license with
all of its uncertainties and put off pro-
hibition, which they have had for
many years, and has thus far been
proved the best for the people Now
we believe the best and wisest course |
is for the people to see that our pres
ent laws, which are good enough, are
enforced, and if enforced would pro-
duee better results than any high Ii
eense law could. Let the people take
the matter in hand and in every
town elect men to office who are
pledged to, or decidedly in favor of,
sustaining and enforcing the law.
