COURTS OF JUSTICE.

1t seems that with all of the accumulat.
ed wisdom OF ages that the problem o1
exactly balancing the scales of justice is
still-a problem. 1t is sad commentary
on our boasted enlightenment and civil.
cation that the best which can be said oi
even the winner in most suits at law is,
that he is a loser, and that the most valu.
able advice the attorney can give his
client is to keep out of law suits.
There is at present sitting in Holland,
commission representing the principal
powers, in conference looking to some
solution to the problem that is impover-
ishing all Europe, that of keeping up
standing armies; trying to find some
cheaper, better and easier way Of set
tling disputes. Sometime we expect to
see an international congress get together
to see if some cheaper, better and easier
way Of settling disputes cannot be devils
ed, than through the standing armies Of
lawyers and other court officials.
The vast amount of rulings, red-tape
and rot that befogs the courts is simply a
terror to the uninitiated. The jury sys-
tenn itself the bulwark OF our liberties"
is largely farce. s'Only the Lord knows
what jury will do when they go into a
jury room, and he isn't very certain" has
passed into proverb among the attor-
neys. And it is not altogether, the fault
Of the jurymen either, as all will testify
who have watched court room methods.
The taking of evidence is another fear
full and wonderful thing to the ignorant.
The witness is allowed to be badgered,
asked all sorts Of fool questions, asked
for the sole purpose of deceiving and
confusing him. Some of these are often Of
the most insulting or of most private
nature, and he has no protection. He
tries to tell something about the matter.
l object" comes Instantly from the op-
posing counsel. The court sustains the
objection and the witness has his mouth
stopped. Whereas the fact that the OBJ
lection was made by the learned coun.
sell shows that the answer really did
have some bearing on the case, and
therefore he didn't want il to come ~
lore the jury. On the other handin most
cases the attorneys on the other side,
have but little difficulty getting ID lie

Billiards VS.. CYCLONES.

BLIZZARDS VS.. CYCLONES.
This part of North Dakota at some
times of the year has rather low tenn
perature, but it is rare that any one
freezes to death. Sometimes in the
winter blizzard blows its cold breath
over the land, and occasionally some one
is caught out at some distance from
dwellings,, or rashly starts out to face the
storm, and is overcome. But these
cases are exceptional, and in the greater
part could be avoided by the exercise of
judgment and care. Here, with fire and
shelter and care, no matter how cold it
blows, we can keep comfortable, and
the element of danger to life is almost
eliminated.
But few hundred miles south, in the
beautiful summer days, when all nature
smiles there turks horror, a dread, an inn
pending catastrophe, against which mans
precaution or care is almost powerless. At
all times Of day, in the defenceless hours
of the night, the cyclone comes, sweep
ing clean every obstacle that it finds in
its path of horror and destruction.
Every little rain cloud is viewed with
suspicion, and if it gets little darker
than usual, the family runs in haste to
cellars and "dugouts" and trembling
waitlfor the cloud to go by. The sound
Of thunder in the night wakes the sleep
er witlaea feeling of dread as if it were
the sound of the last trump for the end
of the world.
While it is true that the combined
areas Of all known cyclones occupy but a
very small part OF the areas traversed,
and the victims are but a small portion ot
the total population, yet the uncertainty
of the direction of the paths, combined
with the certainty of the occurrence,
must make them a constant source Of
worry and fear. To us, this constant
fear seems to be one ofthe worst features
of the cyclone infested country. To be
kept constantly on the watch for sucl,
dreadful monsters of the air must be a
great thorn in the comfort of existence.
Particularly is this true of the head of the
family. He might be quite willing to
take his own chances with some feelings
Of equanimity, but with family around
him whose safety may depend at such
times on his vigilance and energy, the
fear of the cyclone must be always with
him.
It is true that people live in seemingly
careless security on the sides of fVesuvius,
but we believe that the father and mother
never see their children playing about
them in the evening by the light of the
volcanoes lurid flames but that the fear
of the molten lava or shower of ashes
comes over them.
For us, the choice of evils is the biz
zard before the cyclone. Fatalities in
billiards. are becoming more rare as the
country settles up, and only in few
cases have the fatalities been at ali con-
siderable; but the cyclone, without warm
ing, with irresistible power. kills and
wounds its victims. whose number is
only measured BY the population through
which the cyclone passes. A cyclone
passing through a town or city will kill
more people and destroy more property
than all the billiards that ever blew nut
and that cyclone may come to-
day, tomorrow, next week, any time, but
the ever present horror Of it is, that it
certainly will come somewhere.

Arrival of the BULGARIA.

The safe arrival in the Azores of the
overdue steamer, the Bulgaria, Is a
happy termination of what had al
ready been set down as one of the
greatest tragedies of the ocean. The
ship sailed from New York for Ham
burg four weeks ago, and encountered
the terrible storms which ragged on the
Atlantic almost continuously after her
departure from port. When several
hundred miles from the Azores she
was hailed by a tank ship,
which saw that she was in distress, and
as many OF her passengers as could
be transferred in the rough weather
were taken aboard the tanker and car
ried to the Azores. Tugs were dis
patched to look for the Bulgaria and
tow her in, but In the fierce gales they
were unable to find her. At length,
after nearly month at sea, most Of
the time in a disabled condition, she
makes "a safe port saving the remain

up for lost along with the vessel.
The first sigh of relief will follow
the safe arrival in port of the ship
with her crew. Then will come the
satisfaction of knowing that in spite Of
the disasters by which she was over
taken the ship dehed the ocean with
all OF its dangers andicame safely to a
harbor. At one time the necessities of
the world could be provided by fewer
ships, and these few of small pattern
But the growth of commerce has put
a new life on the ocean, and to what
ever extent danger waits for the ship
and the sailor the industrial world has
become concerned. The Bulgaria is a
modern ship, and large one, a ship
of the kind that is designed TO weather
almost any possible conditions at sea
That it has lived through the unparal-
leled storm and made its harbor

Our Settlement With Spain.

1t is true that some misgivings may
seem to be. suggested by the fact that
we shall soon have to remit 500 900 900
to Spain on. account of the Peace set
tlement. And it Is quite possible that
this operation, coming outside the or
binary transactions OF the exchanges,
may in some measure harden the local
rate OF interest. And yet, for these
extraordinary times, this is relative
1y small matter. The available re-
sources for making the settlement are
superabundantly ample. Outside the
gold reserve, the Treasury has an
available cash balance in its vaults OF
$50 900 900 on deposIl with the nation
al banks. There is ample enough mar
gin. for the Treasury avoiding any de-
mand upon its repositories in this city
calculated to sensfbly disturb. the loan
market; and what it can do in that
matter it is quite likely to do. There
Is in Europe, however,'a still large
outstanding floating Indebtedness due
on demand to the United States. A
slight advance in the rate Of interest
here would make it paying operation.
to enect the $2O,OOO,OOO remittance
through bills drawn against these
funds; in which case there would be
no transfers of money in the operation,
Spain collecting her award from our
European debtors and the operation at
this end being confined to transfers of
deposits, with little or possibly no eff
feet upon the loaning ability of the
new York banks This remittance to
Spain, therefore. come when it may, is
not likely to cause any noteworthy
disturbance of the local money mark

he has more witnesses now than he

There Is general Misunderstanding

regarding the scope OF that last order
of the court, limiting the taking OF tes-
timonyto March 4. The order does not
contemplate the completion of the tes-
timony in the cases aimed to oust the
Standard Oil company from their char

clause which refers to their being in
contempt of the court for refusing to

Barnsdall owns ten-twelfths of the
lease on the Dyke farm of 400 acres,
on which there were three producing
wellsj drilled. several years ago. The
other interests in tue lease are owned
by ]. s. Shields. Barnsdall has persis-
tently refused to drill and protect his
lines against wells that have been
drilled near the property and which 1t
is claimed are draining the territory,
his object being, it is said, to freeze out
Shields and buy his interest at his own
price. The object of the present suit
is to compel Barnsdall to drill and pro-
tect his lines and. $4,000 damages are
claimed for his failure to ddp so thus
far. IT,. e..

through Judge McCluer about year
