CONVICTION v. GRIFFIN.

Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia.
February Is, 1900.
A DECREE FOR AN ACCOUNT IN A
CREDITORS SUIT STOPS THE
RUNNING OF THE STATUTE OF
LIMITATIONS AS TO ALL DEBTS
OF a DECEDENT-A SUIT TO EN-
FORCE ~ CLAIM BROUGHT IT
YEARS AFTER 1T WAS REPORT
ED BY A COMMISSIONER is
BARRED FOR LACHES.
The points decided appear from the
opinion OF the court.
The court says:
The report of the commissioner was
excepted to. but the exceptions do not
appear in the record. The exceptions
were never passed upon, and the re-
port remained unconfirmed. No fur
Their action seems to have been taken
in the case until 1897. when a paper
termed supplemental bill of re-
vivor" was filed. In the meantime
nearly all of the original parties to the
suit had passed away. Thomas 1.
Griffin, as we have seen, died in 1857,
James NJ. Griffin, the executor OF the
debtor and administrator of the cred
itor. had died some years before 1897,
and his administrator is not made a
party to this proceeding.
There Is no circumstance alleged In
the supplemental bill which in any way
explains. accounts for, or eXtenuates
the failure to prosecute the original
suit for settlement of the estate of
Zachary Griffin.
We are of opinion that the record
shows that, Zachary Griffin in his life
time executed the bond in contro-
versy.
We arc further of opinion that the
decree entered in the original suit
stopped the running of the statute of
Zachary Griffin, and there Is much in
the case to repel the presumption or
payment arising from lapse of time.
The courts have uniformly and wisely
held. after n long and unexplained de-
lay In instituting or prosecuting n suit
for the recovery OF debt, especially
where there Is no allegation Of fraud
or trust, that the allaying hand Of time
shall be deemed to have composed all
strife and Quieted all contention, so
that men who are mortal shall not
permit controv ersies to become immor-
tall"
AZ was said by the Supreme Court
of the United States in Randolph v.
Ware, 3 Cranch 507: 1.-THE charge is
brought forward after n sleep OF near
thirty years. during which period the
original parties and their agents have
disappeared and are no more. An ac-
Quiescence for such n length of time,
and under such circumstances. is too
stubborn and inveterate to be sur
mounted. The claim was put into OBJ
livion; and there 1t ought to have re-
manned"
1t certainly cannot be said that there
has been reasonable diligence in the
case before us. Reversed.

Monarchy itself is sometimes hinted tt as possible refuge from the power of the people. In my present position would scarcely be justified were I to omit raising warning voice against this approach of returning despotism. It is not needed nor fitting here that 8 general argument should be made in favor of popular institutions, but there is one point with its connections not so hackneyed as most others, to which ask brief attention. It is the effort to place capital on an equal footing with, if not above, labor in the struc- ture of the government. It is assumed that labor is available only in counec- ton with capital, that nobody labors unless somebody else owning capital somehow induces him to labor. Labor is prior to and independent of capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the supe- rior of capital and deserves much high CT consideration, No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty; none less inclined to take or touch aught which they have not honestly earned. Let them beware of surrendering politi- cal power which they already possess, and which, if surrendered, will surely be used to close the door of advance meut against such as they, and to fix new disabilities and burdens upon thom till all of liberty shall be lost. .-l Abraham Lincoln.

An Associated Press dispatch iron

An Associated Press dispatch from Laytonville, Cal, says: The Mendoci- no mud volcanoes are again active, and violent disturbances are heard all day i. The volcanoes have been silent for a period of two months. This singular phenomenon is located few miles south of here, and it is believed that the mud belched forth from these vol canoes is in some way controlled by the tides of the ocean, though the sea is twenty miles distant from the vol canoes. There are in number twenty five of these volcanoes, and they stand about five feet above the earth's sur face and are confined in a circular base, from five to seven feet in disme- ter at the base and from two to four feet at the mouth. Tonight the roar ing noise from the volcanoes can be heard distinctly eight miles. The warm vapor shooting over the craters' rims can be seen in day time from here.

"Four years more of the full dinner pail'' is the legend which some of the republican publications display. For whom?
