Hon. Edward G. Whitaker president of

address to the leading lawyers of the State
vestigation of judges and lawyers, of whom
he had made inquiry, that the crime of per-
jury is committed in some form or other in
at least five of every ten Irrigated cases.
Mr. Whitaker. attributes the increase and
prevalence of perjury to a weakening in the
belief of future punishment and an apparent
certainty of freedom from present punish
ment. He declares that the evil could be
checked by bench and bar-by judges caus-
ing an investigation of all cases where they
suspect perjury has been committed and can
be proved. and by members of the bar be-
ing simply true to their profession.

A FAMILY FAILING.
The struggle with Heredity.
The Right Side of the Color Line.

TO heredity, TO the transmission of
traits from sire TO son, we owe most OF the
possibilities of growth and dcvelopmc ut.
If each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
of life might be expected to be that OF the
digger Indian or Bushmau. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Pcculiaritics
of feature, cxcentTiCities of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual dextcrity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. A curious example of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ca, in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair 4, hereditary In our IA mily.

The stalwart negro was buoved up by the
hopes of freedom though he had little con-
ception of how it was to be brought about.
The moment that he learned that the Fort
had yielded to the Yankees he was certain
that liberty was within his grasp if he
chose to reach forth for it. He conceived
that the first danger was that he might be
compelled to follow his master into captivity,
and the cunning which is the strength OF
servile brains was exerted to get separated
from his owner He had just accomplished
this when Stock, in whom he thought he saw

possession of him.

Poor fellow, long musing upon it had
localized his conception of the road to free
dom into a kinship with that other steep and
thorny path that leads to eternal bliss, aud
he could not comprehend that it was this
broad and open highway that none could
mistake.

ment hasn't moved" said Stock cruStilv, rs

Special EXAMINATIONS.
Mr.. Davis Rules that Reports Re Examined
by Attorneys or Claimants.

by Attorneys or Claimants.
The Assistant Secretary has disap-
proved the construction placed upon Or
der No. "A by the Commissioner of Pen
siOns. This order held in substance that
no examination of papers relating to
claims for pension or bounty land by at
torneys, counsel or agents should extend
to reports from the War Department, CON
ldential communications, certificates of
Examining Surgeons. or reports of Special
Examiners relating to criminal charges
and investigations.
The order as above received the ap-
prevail OF the Department. but without
authority and without either the knoWl-
edge or approval of the Department the
Commissioner extended the scope of the
order so as to include all reports of Special
Examiners.
The Commissioner being called on for a
statement, cOntended that these reports
were, after reaching his Bureau, conf
dental communications which could prop
erly be withheld
For obvious reasons no objection can be
made to the Withholding of criminal re
ports, but neither caution, reason nor ex-
pediency seem to warrant or demand the
within plding of other reports.
When, under the Commissioners con-
structiOn, claim was being examined by
the attorney these reports were taken out
and retained IN the files until the exami-
nation was completed.
To this the attorneys objected, contend
ing that the proper management and pros
cution of claim was impossible without
the facts, and unless the whole record
were available for information
1t was pointed out that the allowance Of
thousands OF cases on appeal where the
rejection Of the Bureau was based upon
evidence obtained on special examination
demonstrated the fact that cOncealment
Of this part Of the record was antagonistic
to the interests OF claimants.
