II told you" said Major Grant, and
there was a threat in the voice as un-
Unstable as an oath: II told you you
could publish the title and nothing
else
II thought this was a public docu-
ment," | ventured.
You can't see it till the judge has
passed upon it, replied the clerk.
Don't you dare to read that bill!'
AS the clerk was the lawful GUS
todian of the papers, I retired with
such silence as the occasion could
permit from the presence of man
who carried dagger in his voice in
the refusal of documents, the reading
of which was at much a right of mine
as of his, Major Grant, in the move
ment of suppressing news from spite
was a fine picture of a tyrant, worth
more to see than the trumpery bill
he hid
There might have been some ex-
cuse for secrecy if it had been feared
that the publication of the facts
would interfere in anyway with the
service by the marshal of the sub
poena by giving opportunity to the
officers of the defendant corporation
to avoid service if they should have
wished to do so; but when Major
Grant graciously expressed his will
ingness to have the fact published
that a bill had been filed against the
defendant, he failed with the only ey-
cuse he could have had for his high
handed act of usurpation and plea
yunish smallness.
Major Grant would evidently shoot
bids on the ground He'd he not
known that there was no time. at
five in the afternoon for a mandamus
to compel him to produce the papers,
he would not have ventured on his
role of censor to the press. As it was,
he thought survey for a moment
this paper in the proper execution of
its function as gatherer and dis
tributor of news. II is therefore with
a delight not remotely justified by the
value Of the specific item that | here

case, but the substance of the bill,
