The Abundance of Judges.

LIE ABUNDANCE OF Judges.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat
It is surprising fact stated by
Mr. Joseph Choate in a recent ad-
dress, that England, with her 10000,
900 of people in round numbers,
does not have so many Judges to
attend to her legal controversies as
any one of our larger States. She
finds thirty-two of the first class
ample for all her wants, while New
York has 40, and Illinois 17S. There
is not SO much litigation in England
as in our country, to be sure; but
the fact remains, after making all
power allowance in this respect, that
our supply of Judges is excessive by
comparison, and that the courts over
there dispose of cases more rapidly
than those of the United States. The
explanation lies largely in the CON-
plicated nature of our judicial ma
chinery, the facilities afforded for ap-
peals and new trials, and the indul-
gence granted to lawyers who make
it their business to delay and defeat
justice. We boast of the practical
way in which we do things, and yet
our laws and forms of legal practice
are such that it is impossible to
secure prompt decision in any case
where it is to the interest of either
party to prolong the proceedings. In
the enforcement of an ordinary con-
tract, where there is really no dis
pute about the fact, the final result
is often unreasonably postponed, and
the costs thereby unnecessarily ill.,
creased
The truth is that in our anxiety to
provide ample means for the adjust
ment of legal difficulties, we have
made our judicial system source of
endless trihing with the interests of
the people. Out multiplicity of stat
utes is directly conducive to litiga-
ton, and the courts attach so much
Importance to precedents and techni-
calities that the lawyers can keep
case in course of trial almost as long
as they please. In England, where
there is supposed to be much more
formality than in the United States,
the ordinary practice is far less slow
and uncertain than that which pre-
walls here. We have so many Judges
and so many different tribunals that
case may be taken from one to
another on various pretexts, and the
expense is apt to exceed the amount
involved in a majority of cases.
There is certainly great need of
reform in this matter. It should be
easier for the average citizen to OBJ
tain decision from some court of
full and final Jurisdiction, which is to
say that it should not be so easy for
the lawyers to protect all sorts of
lawsuits. Too many of our courts
exist solely for the purpose of giving
solemn and leisurely consideration
to technical and unimportant pleas.
The whole system ought to be SIM
plifed, in short, with view to saw
ing time and money by removing all
chances for cases to be continued
and transferred except for sound and
conclusive reasons.

Wire Tapper. Caught

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 6.-Last night at
the Phillips house s. H. Hickey, alias
s. II. Howard, and George Hutchins,
alias Gus w. Sanders, were arrested
for wire tapping. Their room at the
hotel was near wire running to q
local pool room, and it is evident that
they intended to work the whole East
ern circuit, including Chicago, Indian
apolis, Cleveland. Covington and 9TH
er points. In their possession were
found Geographic instruments, battery
cells, regular secret code and other
portions of wire tapper's outfit. The
prisoners at first made bold bluff,
but the evidence was such that they
finally admitted their purpose. and
said they intended to rake in $4,000
in this city alone.

MATTER OF STAKE MONEY
Forms the Burden of Corbetts En-
ergetic Lip LabOr-Is a Great
Fiasco lin Our Midst

New Orleans, Oct. 6.-The opinion
was expressed to-day by certain sport
ing men that Corbett is building up a
foundation to get out Of his fight If
possible. 1t was noticed that to every
newspaper man who interviewed him,
Corbett harped on only one subject,
and that is the many strings that are
attached to Fitzsimmons' stake in
Phil Dryers hands. In every CONVEX
sation the pugilist INDUCED in this
subject would prominently be brought
forward by him. When it is taken
into consideration that the attachment
against Fitzsimmons' money in Phil
Dryers hands was issued more than
q month ago, and Corbett refratned
from saying anything about it at the
time gives rise to the suspicion that
the question Of John L. Sullivan has
kept this as his last card.
Corbett very bluntly said to-day that
Fitzsimmons would have to have $1O,-
600 up in the shareholders hands
without an attachment tied to it or he
would not fight. He claims that FitZ-
simmons has only $1,000 of the side
bet up, the other $1,000 being attached
by the Metropolitan Printing company
and Attorney Friend, formerly the
Australians attorney. Corbett is
claiming today that Phil Dryer told
him just before he left New York that
if he won he would get but $1,000 of
the $4,000 Of the side bet. Corbett
also says that he will fight Fitzsim-
mons for the side bet alone. but puts
in the old proverb that $4,000 unat-
tached must be put up.
Local sporting men are Of the opin.
ion that this provision of Corbett's
will occasion considerable trouble be
fore Oct. 81. The general feeling in
New Orleans is that the fight will new
er take place.

PUBLIC LANDS.
Commissiner Lamoreux Files HIS
Annual Report

Comm1ssiner IamOreux Files His
Annual Report.
washington, Oct. 6. - Hon. s. w.
Lamoreux, commissioner Of the gen.
eral land Office, has made his annual
report to the secretary of the interior.
The decline Of land Office business as
noted in the last report still continues.
Compared with 1894 there has been
decrease In land entries of 1905 and
Of 6.O16,6S5 acres entered upon, q de-
crease Of final entries to the number
Of 6,5S4 and 356O59 acres entered
upon, and decrease of cash receipts
Of $734,37O. The business of the Office
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1895,
was as follows: Cash sales, Al, 1878
acres; homestead entries, 5,OO9,491
acres; state selections, 626,169 acres;
railroad selections, 1867. 40 acres;
swamp land patents. 244,774 acres; In
dian allotmcnts. S5,455 acres; Indian
lands sold. 42,54S acres; total cash re.
ceipts. $2O33,454 patented or certified
with the effect of patenting to rail-
road companies S,1S4,336 acres; sur
veys accepted by the land Office, TO-
1868 acres.
The commissioner recommends that
appropriations for the surveys of pub
lie lands should be made continuous
instead of annual, as under the rule
of the treasury department it has been
found that where extensions have been
made upon a contract the extension
operates as new contract and must
be paid out of the appropriation for
the year for which it was made
Commissioner Lamoreux renews his
suggestions of last year that surveys
OF public lands be made by the gov
eminent direct instead of under the
contract system, as at present.
The total area of vacant public land
In the United States in acres is as fol.
lows: Surveyed. 313,S37. 1888; unsur-
veyed, 285,245, GOT. The land Office has
examined and has in process Of adj
justment twenty-five land grants to
railroads. The interior department
has approved the findings of the land
Office regarding the land grant adjust
ments in eleven cases, and ten other
cases for final adjustments have been
submitted to the department
Discussing the act Of the last con-
gress granting lands to states for irri-
cation purposes Commissioner Lamor-
eux says he believes that the necessity
will arise in the near future for the
creation OF a national commission,
whose function it shall be to regulate
the distribution of these waters which
have their source in the superadiacent
state and which have heretofore been
used in common by the people Of that
and the superadjacent states.
