There is one young man IN fhladelpnla
who wishes he had never seen rife or re-
voyer. lie heard some one moving about the
house in the night and, jumping 10 the con-
clusicn that it must be Il burglar fired at the
supposed burglar and was Mortified 70 md
that he had shot his own sister. She Will
probably get well. but that Is the fault OF the
brothers Workmanship. not "a result Of his
good judgment, for he doesn't seem TO have
exercised any.
There isn't anything especially out Of the
usual order in the Holland shooting case.
The revolver or rifle kept in the house 10 de-
fend the inmates against burglars shoots the
wrong person. If II shoots anyone, nine times
out of ten. Sometimes it goes of when no
one knows il IS loaded. sometimes 1t goes of
10y accident when it is known 70 be loaded,
and sometimes it is pointed at the wrong per-
son by mistake rs in the case of young Hol-
land and his sister.
II no rev0lvers or rifles were kept in the
house az all there would be- no more hurgl9-
ries than 40 present and the number of shoot
ing accidents would not he worth recording.
The revolver that isn't I'm the house won't
shoot anybody. much less the wrong person.
There is no other article of household equip

E1-SEcRETARY BArAID's speech at the re-
cent Southern banquet. which is published in
full this morning for the first time. was an
effort at once eloquent, chaste, and dignifed.

patriot by whom ii was uttered As Mr.. Bay

day of her adversely when she needed friends,
and now he rejoices with her in her
day of prosperity, when she is able to take
her proper place in the American Union. In
the person of the ex-Sena'or from Delaware
the South has always had a warm adherent
and the country a citizen who has made a
proud record for himself both as a statesman
and a gentleman literally without fear and
without reproach.

The Supreme Courts New Rule.
Washington POst.l

The rule adopted by the Supreme Court of
the United States before the recess Is attract
ing the attention Of lawyers in all parts Of the
country. II is 20 the effect that all appeals
and writs OF error and citations must be made
returnable by the lower courts to the higher
within period Of thirty days. unless "a special
order Is made for some good reason. Here
after. therefore. every case appealed 10 the
Supreme Court must be dOcketed IN that court
within a calendar month after its being taken
IN the court below.
Formerly the rules permitted long period
10 elapse between the taking Of an appeal and
its entrance upon the records. The effect was
that advantage was taken of the indefinite in
teryal 10 avoid and delay a final decision as
long as possible. The caso,which' called the
attention of the court 10 the possible abuse Of
the right of appeal Is that OF JugirO. the Japa-
nese murderer, who Is now under sentence Of
death by electrocutiOn. in accordance with the
laws Of the State OF New York. That case has
already had one hearing before the highest tri-
bunal. and on that occasion the court decided
that the State law prescribing the mode of the
death penalty was not in violation Of the Con-
stitution of the United States, and 50 affirmed
heperfect legality ofthe Judicial sentence in
the case. Soon after. the counsel Of the con-
demned man brought his case again before
the United States Court on what Is under
stood 20 be a mere dllatOry plea. and, upon
It's dismissal. took a second appeal 20 the SUI
preme Court The object Of the court in
promugating the new rule is to obyiate such
delay as Is here contemplated, but it Is Of
general application, and II will equally affect
all cases coming before the court which do
not pertain 10 its original jurisdiction. Ac-
cordlngly. II IS believed that IN time the effect
of the order will be in some degree TO tighten
the business of the court.

Grant Monument.

Last week the Grant Monument Association
asked the PARK Board for permission 10 begin
work in Riverside Park upon the foundation
of proposed structure. in accordance with
design by them adopted. This design in
cludes monument proper. together with
some rather violent treatment of the ground
which surrounds it. SO far as can be judged
by the plans published, this amateur work at
landscape architecture is even less likely 10
kindle enthusiasm than are the outlines of the
monument itself. Fortunately the Park Com
missloners have not surrendered their jurs-
dietion over the park. and they will hesitate
before accepting such an arid and obstructive
plan for the treatment of one Of the most
commanding and beautiful spots in the world.

HON. THOMAS =. BAYARD.

In some respects, the most memorable
speech that was delivered a few evenings ago.
on the occasion of the fifth annual banquet Of
the Southern Society of New York was that
of Hon. Thomas f. Bayard, of Delaware.
Mr.. Bayard referred with a noble pride TO
the fact that twenty-five years ago be entered
public life with no other object in view
than to be Of assistance TO the people
Of the South in the hour Of their mex
pressible humiliation. For long serie, Of
years, during the whole of which the Repub-
lican party We're utrenchcd in power, AS a
member OF the National Senate he opposed
with signal ability and undauntcd spirit every
measure that WAS inaugurated 10 Cypress the
Southern people and increase the calamities
by which they were overwhelmed.
He was tainted with disloyalty TO the Ma
tional Government at the time the war was in
progress and denounced as q traitor at heart.
if not in overt act. He was sneered at as the
advocate of vsnQuished rebels and avoided as
the friend of a section which had no
right. on account Of its previous course.
to claim hearing in a free assem-
bly,. Through it all, the revilement, the
contumely. the contempt, Thomas F. Bayard
remained true 10 his convictions of duty,
standing firmly at his post as the defender of
the down-trodden and the oppressed, suffer-
ing no proper occasion TO pass without raising
his voice in eloquent remonstrance against the
tyranny of a party intoxicated with power
and in spite of threats and frowns and ayerted
glances performed service for the Southern
States which can never be forgotten by our
people.
The hour when the South was lacking in
friends has passed. observation-disclosures
are rapidly conciliating the good will of those
who formerly condemned and decried her.
Strong. hopeful and confident in the gran
deur Of her material destinies, she now
finds an army Of friends and admirers
where formerly she could only discover
hosts of enemies. But in these moments
Of her rising greatness, when she stands in
the full radiance of prosperity that promises
to be unexampled in the history of the Re
public, she may well turn with feelings of the
warmest appreciation to the men who de-
voted their talents TO her defence when she
was dragged like criminal before the ma
tional bar and opprobrium and contempt
heaped upon her spotless character
Among these men Thomas f. Bayard oc-
cupies pre-eminent position. Faithful loyal,
staunch, unconquerable in the hour of adj
versity, he is now in the hour Of triumph en-
titled at the hands of a grateful people TO all
the honors which should crown the public
servant whose strong hand did so much to
turn the tide Of victory at the most critical
hour of battle upon which the fate of
whole people depended.

To Increase the Supply of Manure.

The supply Of manure may be east
ly doubled by gathering up the
wastes Of the harnyard and the
swamps, and other coarse matters,
which are increased in value by
mixture with the manure in the
yards, or by composing with lime.
Abundance Of absorbent matter are
required to hold the liquid manure
and prevent waste of it. The best of
all absorbents is dry swamp muck.
1t will hold twice its weightof liquid,
and, II properly used, save the almost
unavoidable loss of the liquid ma
nure which occur under the most
careful management without the use
of plenty of absOrbents. Thousands
of farmers purchase costly fertilizers
who might, by little foresight Of
labor gather up as much fertilizing
matter in the fall and prepare it fol
use through the winter as would
amount in value to the cost of thu
fertilizers they huN every year.

Strictly, no two persons can see the

can never happen that two persons
have precisely the same groups of
ideas relating to any subject. These
depend on our past experience, on

on our pet theories, our interests, and
