LAW REFORM.
The COde-Can Good Come Out of
Observation-Disclosures in the
Present Method.

To the Editor of the New Mexican.
/ see by your paper that movement
is on foot in the Bar association to i'm
prove our law in relation to pleading and
practice in the courts. That 1t needs i'm
provement, and that we are far behind
the times, the mossiest old mossback will
admit. At present man may have q
perfectly good defense in a case but be-
cause it happens to be Equitable" he is
not allowed to use it, but must 60 to the
expense and trouble of filing bill in
chancery and procuring an injunction
against the proceeding at law in order to
get his equitable defense heard, and the
same judge acts in both cases. Can such
nonsense endure in this age? Many like
absurdities could be pointed out. Judge
Newcomb, in his address as retiring pres
ident of the Bar association five years
ago, declared: "The time has arrived
when our system of pleading must be re-
formed" I am glad to see that the asso-
citation has at last begun to act. 1t is
premature at this time to discuss the
merits or dement's of any particular
amendment of the law. The thing is to
appoint committee to frame a compre-
hensive and homogeneous bill, and if the
one they report should be unsatisfactory,
amend it or vote it down. But if the as
ISOLATION refuses to appoint committee
it will be equivalent to saying that no
good can come out of Nazareth, or that
our law is as perfect as perfect can be.
We profess to use the English common
law pleading, and there is hardly lib
rary in the territory containing volume
of English reports; if a point arises for
discussion the lawyer looks into Chitty,
and even if the point is touched upon
there, the cases cited are not
at hand to explain or eucldate
the text. The modern decisions
which are accessible are almost entirely
from code states. In other words, we
haven't the reports which are needful for
the common law system of pleading, and
those which are accessible are not peril
nent. We have the common law system
of pleadinRs, for sooth! Why, if old Taffy
Kenyon were to return to life, and by ac-
cident visit New Mexico, and be shown
our court files, to tell him that these were
common law pleadings would shock him
back to the pearly gates ajar. Every OBJ
lection to the code has been made time
and time again and has proved INSULT
cient. The good has far outweighed the
bad The code is not the hasty production
of a wanton spirit of change; its use has
been extending during fifty years, until
now it is employed in England and in
nearly all the states and territories. Sure
ly, a system must be meritorious which
has received the approval of what is sub
stantially the bac of the United States
and England-a body of men of large ex-
perience and of the highest intelligence,

every encouragement.

ELOPERS CAUGHT.
A Pathetic Tale from Eddy-A Mis-
sourian's Marital MiSeries.

Geo. Welker and woman who proves
to be Mrs. E. D. Spronge, late of Bray
mer, Mo-, are under arrest at Eddy,
charged with violation of the Edmunds
act. Mrs. Spronge is the lawful wife of a
Missouri farmer of thrift and means.
Welker is "mere boy" and passed as a
friend of the family. On July 4 Mrs.
Spronge deserted her husband and six
children, took her 9-months- old infant in
arms and skipped out with Welker,
landing in Eddy about four weeks ago.
The Mirror, local paper at Braymer,
quotes Mr.. Spronge as saying Welker
wrote anonymous letters to both he and
his wife and thus caused trouble. The
husband is also quoted as saying: 81
shall make no attempt to bring back my
wife, although 1 love her still and if |
knew she was in trouble would do all in
my power to help her; yet, for the sake
of my children, shall at once apply for
a divorce and consider her as worse than
dead to me. She has always been q de-
voted wife and loving mother and it
makes terrible load for me and my
children to carry"

Grand Canon or Colorado River,

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.

the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking g. T. Nicholson, g. p. & 7. A., A.
I. & s. F. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem
of the printers art.

months, Mrs. j. Conway, wife of the
junior member of the Bon Ton hotel
firm, passed away in death at 5 o'clock
last evening. Her death was not sur
prise, but is none the less shocking to a
large circle of friends. The child, with
whose birth came her illness, is very we'll.
Mrs. Conway was 20 years old, and was
the daughter of Diego Gonzales, of the
south side. Much sympathy is extended
the family. The funeral occurs at a. m.

last Thursday. Prosperity is Justly
proud of this young preacher and re-
grets bis leaving South Carolina lie
IS an ornament to his profession aud
his College. South Carolina needs bis
services, Newoerry College needs his
active support, and our synod should
not lose its most promising young
dirines. But North Carolina must

Prof. Arthur hbler, Of Newberry

Mr.. Marion Warner Of Abbeville
county is spending few days around

was also on the train.

The State campaign is moving along
and has gotten beyond the halfway
mark. Not much interest has been
aroused. Gov. Tillman in his first and
last utterance in bis speech in Charles
ton offered an insult to the people OF
that city and they refused to hear him.
We are sorry they did not let him
speak, for such utterances always re-
bound on the man who utters them
with more force than he sends them.
Yet one cannot much Standardization.
But he said what he did for the use
he could make OF it and in order to
make the people Go just what they
did. He would have been disappointed
II they had not done what they did.
Col. Cal Caughman has also been
howied down. There is nothing elevat-
Ing In such proceedings. The last Of
IeAt week the procession will reach
Newkerry. We hope all the speakers
will be given a respectful hearing. If
any one does not intend to do that, he
should not attend the meeting.

The great strike is over, and without
any benefit to the strikers. The rail-
roads alone come out with loss esti-
mahd between s., ,0OO, 900 and s, 5000, ,000.
President Cleveland is generally cred
tied with doing the right thing at the
proper time when be issued his procla-
nation ordering the troops to the scene.
His decisive action broke the backbone
Of the strike anyhow.

The Herald and News told the Pro
bibitionists some time ago if they
wanted to do anything or ever ex-
pected to do anything, this was their
opportunity. If they do not get pro-
hibition now the opportunity is gone
for long time. The executive CON-
mittee Oh Monday decided to call a
convention on the 30th for the epurpose of
putting ont e legislative ticket. We
do not believe :: will amount to very
much, but it will complicate matters a
little. We believe good strong State
ticket of solid, substantial men would
have made things very lively, but a
legislative ticket in one county will do
very little good. But let them come;
we are on the fence, supporting no
candidate and prepared to vote for the
best men who put in an appearance.
The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1894-07-18

Hon. Geo. D. Tiilman writes a good
letter declining to be a candidate for
Governor now. Read it and gee il you
do not conclude he is the man who
should be nominated. AS we have stated
before, there are only five candidates 80
.ar from Edgefeld for State Offices.
That is very mild and modest re-
quest for Edge6eld to make.
