THERE is no necessity for a knowl-
edge of law, to be good justice of the
peace, is an assertion made by those
who oppose a law regulating justice
courts. Men who make statements Of
similar import to the above, must
surely have slipped their eccentrics,
and are running backward. 1t is a
conceded and we'll established basis,
in this day and age of the world, that
men of erudition, either practically or
otherwise, brought to that standard,
are men to fill public positions. Why
are our higher courts any better than
justice courts? There is not an an
swer for this, only in the fact that men
of learning fill the higher places, and
as such, place the seal of confidence on
their work. Ignorance advanced as
an argument in favor of any measure,
whether great or small, is evidence of
demagogical inclinations that SAVIOR
strongly of moss covered doctrines,
relics of the past, exploded theories,
or whimsical tendencies. Give the
people good justice courts is the
general feeling all over the State. If,
in no other way, let the law provide
for an examination Of the candidate as
to his fitness.

n BILL is pending in the Legislature,
which, if it becomes a law, will give
school teachers an annuity after eigh-
teen years Of continuous service. The
bill may have some merit in aiding
those who have become superannuated
in the service. The full text of the
bill is not at hand, but it would seem
that q provision is not necessary for
teachers in full possession of their
mental faculties and bodily vigor, as
must necessarily be the case with
many who begin teaching when eigh-
teen Or twenty years of age.

The improvements added to the
roller mill Of this place were finished
Tuesday. The mill is now fitted up to
make a tirst-class patent flour. A
sample was exhibited to the UNION
reporter, Wednesday, which did not
suffer in comparison with some of the
fancy patents from the large roller
mills of other places. A more extended
notice will be given of the mill plant
at some future time.

THE ocean steamer, Gascogne, sew

York harbor, Monday night. Great
rejoicing was felt-men and women
forgetting themselves in their frantic
delight at meeting friends and rela-

The steamer had been unfortunate in
breaking the piston rod, drifting away

men who have tasted life in all its bit

THURSDAY last, Gov. Clough affixed
his signature to the bill making Febru-
ary 18th, Lincoln's birthday, a legal
holiday. Some objection against the
passage Of the measure arose in the
senate-not from any lack of rever-
ence for the great emancipator's name
but from the proximity of the date
to that of Washington's birthday, only
ten days later. It is a time in the sea-
son and in the affairs of men, when
holidays can we'll be enjoyed. The
Legislature took a proper course, and
every patriotic citizen will revere their
action in the matter.
Later-The legislature reconsidered
the passage Of the bill making, Tuesday
a legal holiday, and passed a second
bill which makes the law to take effect
on the twelfth day of February, 1896.

UNDER the present law, a foreigner,
who has been one year in this State,
and having duly declared his inten-
tions to become a citizen, may obtain

a proposition to amend the constitu-

london. March 29.-The Earl of
Kimberley. secretary of state for for
eign affairs. in receiving a deputation
of the Armenian delegation. expressed
warm sympathy with the object of the
association and said the government
was doing it's best to make the inquiry
into the outrages in Armenia as thor
ough and searching as possible. He
added that an Independent report
would be made by the European rep
reSentatives. The main object in view
was to secure, in the future. protection
for the lives. property and lands of
Armenian Christians. In this object he
was glad to say Great Britain had the
cooperation of France and Russia,
both of which countries were con-
WINGED of the necessity of reform. One
of the chief problems is how to bring
about the results desired without rails
ing in an acute form a stern question.
He thought the time opportune for deal
ing with the matter in such a fashion as
to avoid danger. When the time came
for action the government would not
be found wanting. In conclusion the
Earl of Kimberley said the government
was pledged to take steps to bring
about reform in Armenia.

Formosa, and the attempt to assas-
mate Lii Hung Chang at Simoesl5i.
The correspondent learns that Lii
Hung Chang is now about to continue
the peace negotiations, though he still
remains much disturbed by the at
tempt upon his life. The Japanese Of
ficers are very watchful to prevent any
further trouble.
1t is reported in Pekin that the at

Koyama Rokunosuki, in revenge for
the execution of his brother in Tien
T'sin at the beginning of the war.
A Hong Kong dispatch to the Times

Chinese forces on Pescadore island
telegraphed on March % that he had
sunk two Japanese vessels. Later he
teIegraphed that the Japanese had cap

treatment he is receiving. He says the
French are becoming unbearable IN the

The first act of the French was to order
all American flags down on land. About
