Need of Stenographers in the
Courts.

OOoA tSs
Judge Coke in charging the grand
jury at Utica, N. Y, in June, 1895,
said among other things: "a stem

OF every well-conducted trial tried in
court. In this age of superlative prog
ress we are not contented to revert
to the antique method of quarter of
century ago. Time and money are
saved by enlisting the services of
those valuable assistants who are now
indispensable in every kind of bust
ness. The stenographer saves time,
money, and labor, Their work is re

Any court that adopts the method of
writing down the evidence in long
hand is regarded as intolerably slow
and behind the age. and yet some
courts do it? Because they dom t

porter. Some courts in this respect
are in the condition of a century ago.
The inconvenience and improperly
to say nothing of the graver abuses
which may and do occur under the
old system suggest themselves at
every trial. When reporter is fur
nished by the lawyer. not only is it
unfair to litigants to compel them to
bear the burden, but it is unseemly
that one who bears such an important
relation to the court, should be the
paid assistant of the attorneys. 1t is
unnecessary to make argument con-
corning the necessity of an official
stenographer in a court of justice in
this age of progress and pressure.

Answering Inv;tatfons-

When gentleman and his wife are
invited and do not go to a reception, all
that is necessary to represent them is
their visiting cards A man and his
wife have separate visiting cards, those
uniting the names being seen very sell
dom nowadays. A wedding invitation
should receive some recognition. A
courteous little note containing either
an acceptance or regret would seem to
be the proper way in which to acknowl-
edge this civihty. When lady and
her daughter send out cards for an aft
ernoon tea, one would send, if one did
not go, card for each.-Ladies Home

Judge Gon's Decision,

As was expected by all who heard
the argument in the cigarette case,
Judge Golf, of the United States Cir
cult Court, has decided that the act
conflicts with the commercial clauses
of the Constitution of the United
States and is therefore void. AS OUT
readers are familiar with the proceed
ings we deem it unnecessary at this
time to enter into details, but shall
on some future occasion suggest a
remedy for this baleful evil.

It's Time to Act.

The Herald has, time and again, re-
ferred to the action of the city coun-
Gil in its peculiar course toward the
street railway. We did hope a Re
publican council would make an eff
fort to get it going but our hopes
appear to be vain. Without at this
time entering into a discussion of the
matter. we will suggest that if the
road is allowed to be removed it is
scarcely possiblethat the next so years
will see another laid down, and there
is prospect that some of these days
Martinsburg will be minus her street
railway unless something is done and
that right soon. Let the council deal
fairly toward it.
