Conrt nIartial Witnesses.

All court martial witnesses who are
Protestants are sworn by laying their
right hand, ungloved, on the Bible,
closed or open, while the oath is re-
cited. Kissing the book is frequently
required in addition to the laying on of
the hand. Raising the right hand and
keeping it raised during the recital Of
the oath is also form adopted by
number. There are many who prefer ia
affirm rather than to swear, and those
are accommodated by saying: You do
solemnly affirm, !" instead of solemnly
swear" the right hand being raised
or placed on the Bible as before. Form
erly it was required to place the right
hand on the open Evangelists.
In swearing Roman Catholics, the
Bible is closed and has marked on the
outer cover a cross, generally cut out of
white paper and pasted on. Sometimes
a crucifx is placed upon it, which the
witness, after the oath is recited, kisses
when there is any suspicion in the mind
of the president of the court martial, or
in that of any of its members. The
witness, if a Roman Catholic, after
kissing the cross, is frequently directed
to cross himself. New York Times.

Peter cooper on Interest.

Peter Cooper was always careful
and prudent business man. He was al
ways opposed to the methods of many
merchants, who launched out in extrav-
agant enterprises on borrowed money,
for which they paid exorbitant rates of
interest. Once while talking about a
project with an acquaintance the latter
said he would have to borrow the money
for six months, paying interest at the
rate of per cent. why do you bor-
row for SO short timer" Mr.. Cooper
asked. Because the brokers will not
negotiate bills for longer" "Well, if
you wish" said Mr.. Cooper, II will
discount your note at that rate for three
years. Are you in earnest?'' asked
the would be borrower, Certainly I
am. ! will discount your note for $l0,-
600 for three years at that rate. Will
you do it?' "Of course will, - said
the merchant. Very well, = said Mr..
Cooper. lust sign this note for $780,
900, payable in three years, and give me
your check for $500, and the transac-
tion is complete. y but where is the
money for me?" asked the astonished
merchant. lyon don tget any money,
was the reply, Your interest for SO
months at 8 per cent per month amounts
to 108 per cent, or $4,000. Therefore
your check for $500 just makes rs even, =
The force of this practical illustration
Of the folly of paying such an exorbi
tant price for the use of money was
such that the merchant determined new
er to borrow at such ruinous rates, and
he frequently used to say that nothing
could have SO fully convinced him as
this rather humorous proposal by Mr.
Cooper, New York Post.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1894-01-03

The following editorial FROM the
Pioneer Press is very clever defense
of J. S. Pillsbury, for while it virtual
" admits his legal responsibility as
principal, it stoutly contends that he
was not morally accountable for the
acts of his agent or manager. The
TRIBUNE, in the article referred to-,
took occasion to state that the de-
cision of the court was reflection on
the members of the firm of G. A..
Smith & Co. We did this because it
was supposed that Mr.. Pillsbury was
at least acquainted with and cogni-
zant of the extensive business deals
of the firm, of which he was a mem
Der, and we were naturally of the
opinion that there must have been a
knowledge of the transaction on his
part. It would seem from the follow
ing that transactions of this kind were
among the matter that Smith alone
looked after, and must say the article
is not very complimentary to the juni
or partner, who, with Biermann, must
stand the brunt of whatever censure
the transaction calls forth, and are
the scapegoats of the dramatic ex-
pose:
The NORRIS TRIBUNE is one of the
several papers which, in referring to
the recent decision of the court in an
nulling the sale of certain pine to G.
A. Smith & Co., fall into the error of
assuming that the decision places
Hon. John S. Pillsbury, who is part
ner in the firm of G. A. Smith & Co.,
in a questionable light. The imputa-
ton is wholly groundless. 1t is true
that Mr.. Pillsbury is, or was at the
time, partner in that firm, but the
testimony showed conclusively that
he was practically sleeping partner;
that he had put some of his capital
into the concern, but that he had
taken no active part in it's business
operations, the entire management of
which had been left to the active part
ner, Mr. Smith; that he had nothing
whatever to do with the particular
transaction which was reviewed by
the court; and that if there was any
thing questionable in Mr.. Smiths
share in that transaction Mr.. Pills
bury, at least, was wholly innocent of
any completely in it. This fact was
shown SO cone1usiyely that it is the
grossest injustice to connect his name
with it in any way whatever. AS for
Mr.. Smith, it appears that the oppor-
tunity was offered him to purchase
large lot of pine at a low figure. As
a business man, he naturally desired
to buy the timber as cheaply as he
could, and he, therefore, no doubt,
eagerly accepted the offer made to
him by State Auditor Biermann. The
blame for the transaction falls wholly
upon the official whose duty it was
to see that the state obtained a fair
price for it's pine. But whatever may
be thought of Mr.. Smiths part in
this matter, it is clear that Mr.. Pills
bury had nothing to do with it. He
was practically simple stockholder
in a concern, the business manage
ment of which was in other hands.
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1894-01-03

Auditor Biermann's elaborate at
temp to vindicate himself in the now
famous pine land deal with G. A.
Smith & Co., published in few of
the state papers, gives Hon. R. c..
Dunn an opportunity to reply through
the columns of his paper, the Prince
ton Union. Mr.. Dunn shows the fall
lacy of Mr.. Bierman's claims and
holds him up to public view in a
worse light than ever. Until the
Auditor has an explanation that will
explain, the TRIBUNE believes he will
serve his own interests best by doing
a great deal of keeping still.
