DR.. Henry c. +. Meyer was sentenced
by Recorder Smyth in Part III. of the

every habitual criminal does-as a mat
ter of course.
He was sallow and thinner than at
the time Of his trial, but said, with a
grim smile. that he never felt better in
his life. He was taken from the Tombs
to court in the prison var along with a
dozen other prisoners.
Brooke and O'Sullivan, DR.. Meyers
counsel. were with him in court.
Mr.. Brooke formally withdrew the
motion for a new trial for Dr.. Meyer,
and he Recorder then pronounced SEN

Tit Recorder said:

logical. They might very properly have

Mr.. Brooke asked that a week be
given to DR.. Meyer to settle up his
business affairs before execution of the
sentence, but the Recorder refused to
grant It, and DR.. Meyer was taken back

A NEW COURT.

The Pioneer Press has commenced
the agitation of the matter of Great
ing new court in this state which
shall be between the district courts
and the supreme court. 1t says that
new court is needed to relieve the
pressure of business in the present SUI
preme court. The P. P. is careful to
add that those new judges should be
appointed by the governor and not
elected by the people. OF course. If
that plutocratic, gold-bug, corpora
tion organ could have it's way it would
abrogate the election of all judges by
the popular vote, Indeed, it is quite
likely that it will ultimately advocate
the appointment of all officers by some
power to be created by the plutocrats.
You see it would save so much trouble
and expense, and then we would Sc
cure much better class of judges
for the plutOcrats and corporations
Fortunately this proposed new court
cannot be created without constitu-
tional amendment. If one were SUBJ
mitted providing for an appointive
court it is not hard to predict what it's
fate would be.

The Way to Do 1t.

The following from the Alexandria
Citizen shows that the Peoples party
in that vicinity is alive and getting
ready for the next fight:
"The work of organizing the Popu-
list vote in this county will be COM
menced in a few days. During the
winter Mr.. G. E. Burke, of Alexandria,
will deliver lectures throughout this
congressional district on non-political
subjects under the auspices of the sew
eral county committees and the pro-
ceeds from these entertainments will
go into the treasury of the county
committees. r.
at is absolutely impossible to effect
an efficient organization without
money. Funds are needed for the
purpose of sending literature into
every home in this district. 1t is a
contest between intelligence and ig-
norance, and these good Demo-Repub-
Leans cropping blindly in the dark
must be made to see the error of their
ways. The first Of these lectures will
be given at Alexandria, Saturday even

THE STREETER CASE.

1t is currently rumored that John H.
Burke, who unearthed the Northwest
ern Guaranty Loan frauds is red head
ed at the action of the state in dismis.
sing all of the criminal actions. He
says that the Heilpern case was tried
four times before conviction while
the Streeter Casa more important
one-was tried but twice; also that
one of the cases dismissed had not been
tried at all, nor any case like it, this
case being for declaring a dividend,
knowing the company to be insolvent,
Steeter being. it is claimed, the man
aging officer who reported the dividend
earned.
Mr.. Burke states that though he
had been requested by the state to
swear out the warrant against Street.
er he was not notified that the case
was to be dismissed or consulted in
any way, though he was at the time
busy by request in working up more
evidence.
It is plainly intimated by Mr.. Burke
that he will make a stringent effort to
have this and many other cases
brought up at the coming session of
the legislature, for he has been for
some time past residing in this city

THE TORRENS SYSTEM.


We hope the present legislature will
consider this very ilnportent question.
The Denver ROAD says:
In this country where the science Of
living, without work, has become a
thing of beauty ,anda joy forever, we
all know what it means to get deed
brought down to date by the abstract
route. In lots Of cases the cost of get
ting an abstract of title means humid
reds OF dollars.
The TOrrens law in vogue in Austria
liza enables one to secure transfer at
mere nominal fee.
We have borrowed the Australian
ballot law, and there is no reason why
we should not borrow the TOrrens sys-
tenn of making deeds.
This system was devised by Sir Will
lam TOrrens, and was introduced at
his instance in South Australia, where
he was governor. 1t has since been
adopted, with some notifications, by
other Australian provinces.
The principles of the TOrrens syS-
tenn are few and simple. They have
been thus summed up as follows:
l. At the outset public eXamina-
tion and authorization of title, after
notice and opportunity to be heard.
2. ThereupOn and thenceforth, reg
istration of title. in brief and sum-
mary form, and, as far as possible, by
the use of short formulas ofeXpression
OF familiar and we'll known mean
ing.
3. A conclusive ascertainment. dec
laration and re-registration of title on
each subsequent occasion Of change.
4. Notice on the face of the regis
tration Of all matters subsequent to
adjudication affecting the reg
| iStered title.
5. AS a necessary corollary of the
foregoing principles, the evidencing of
title exclusively by public record and
public certificate, instead of by deed.
6. Indemnity against certain losses
from the operation of the 81 stem out
of fund contributed by persons avail
| ing themselves of the act.
