10 shield Financial Institutions from,
ATTACKS

PARIS, Jan. 3l.-M. Bourgeoise,
minister OF justice, introduced IN the
chamber today bill providing that the
authors OF unwarranted attacks upon
savings banks should be punished with
imprisonment tor term Of not longer
than ten years anu not shorter than
two months.
Tirard, minister OF finance, said that
1t was imperative that the bill should
be passed In view OF the immense harm
done perfectly sound institutions by
frivolous newspaper articles.
Cassagnac replied that the govern
ment seemed to be going crazy on the
subject OF libel laws. Ministers should
look nearer home n they wished to
discover the cause Of distrust among
bank depositors. The suspicion which
undermined public confidence cent.
cred upon the ministers, especially
upon those former ministers VINO
squandered the money Of the Panama
company.
This statement evoked Q tumult.
Ribot deprecated the attempts 10 epread
the belief that savings banks had
suffered from the panic. Nobody
could deny, however, that the cam.
paign against banks had done some
harm and threatened more. No other
country In the world would bear the
burden OF such conscienceless false-
hoous, anu there was no reason why
France SHOULD invite the perils which
lay In them.
The bill was then passed, a20 to 1877.

The Use of School Houses.

Inc use Oh SCHOOL houses.
Hon. Jonas 81. Howe has written
me the following letter, and as the
question he asks may interest many
other school districts have conclud-
ed to answer it through the columns
of the Representative. Mr.. Howe
writes:
PARKER's LAKE Oct. 3, '93.
DEAR SIR:-We are likely to have
some trouble about holding alliance
meetings in our school house or lee
lures and discussions in the interests
of the peoples party. Will you kindly
inform me by letter if there was an
amendment passed in the legislature
of 1890 or '92, in regard to the right
of the school district to use the
school house for any other purpose
than the regular school exercises?
Our district clerk is quite positive
there was, but there are individuals
in the district who being opposed to
our holding meetings, claim that we
cannot use the house for anything
but school sessions of the scholars,
If there is one vOter IN the district that Is
opposed to 1t. 1 would not trouble you
with so simple request if / had

been assuming the law-making func-
zion, by repeating or modifying acts
OF the legislature; but now they have
taken further step. by declaring. in
advance, their intention to pay no
attention to acts which do not meet
with their sublime approval. And.
OF course, it is in the bedevilled and
degenerate East that this highland
ed business first manifests itself. 1t
Will reach us after time. The other
DAY, in one OF the New England
states, woman was suing million
alre for breach of promise of marri-
age, and the judge. (for millionaire
is sacred,) drove the newspaper re-
porters out of the court room and dc.
clared that no part Of the testimony
should be published! And the slay-
lsh newspapers, although there was
no precedent or authority for such
action, on the part of the judge, SUBJ
missively obeyed!
But here is the worst utteranco VIC
have seen yet:
Philadelphia, Oct. 5.-Many of the
most eminent judges of the state
nave publicly announced their inten-
tlon OF ignoring the state lau passed bv
Me legislature last June, and auhic7, for
oads the Imprisonment or even the trials of
criminals under Is gears of aqe acith older
ones. The law was the outcome of
the e1forts of number of prominent
humanltarians, and under it ali
criminals under 16 must be tried at
court held separate from the regular
court. This, it is claimed, will en-
parass and defeat prompt ad-
mlnlstration of justice, while it will
also necessitate keeping a second set
OF dockets In every county seat. 1t is
probable that proceedings will be
taken with the view of having the
supreme court declare the law uncon-
stitutional.
Think of it! The humanitarians,
seeking to save children from contain
lnation with hardened criminals.
persuaded the legislature to pass a
law to have them tried separately.
The legislators were the sole Judges
whether such law was right or wise:
and now the courts propose to wipe
the law out because each court will
have to get new book, costing prob
ably $3.50, to keep the record in.
And the salvation of the children is
not worth $3.50 in each county, And
the law will go by the board-of
course it will. God help the country.
1t looks as if nothing but revolution
would save the liberty of the people.
