ExPEDITING COURT PRocEDU7 f.
Dubuque Telegraph Herald.]
Five justices OF the supreme court
of New York, serving as committee.
have reported a number of proposed
reforms in legal procedure. chief Of
which is the inclusion Of the demurrer
in defendants answere to plaintiffs oe-
tition. This will effect to have the
objections to trial, and the trial ITSELF
begin on or about the same day, and
thus do away with interminable delay
The usual course OF a defendant not
desiring to go to trial is to file a de-
murrer to petition, after which the
court sets date for a hearing on the
demurrer. After days or weeks spent
in arguments the courts decision is
rendered, but the case is not ready
for trial until succeeding term. The
result is not only delay, but expense
to the litigants that could be avoided.
The laws delays are a prolific
source Of dissatisfaction with the
courts and the sooner they are minim-
lied the sooner vii, oo;.:::.ss enjoy The
repute which should be theirs and the

WIRELESS POTATOES.

According to the press dispatch
es. a farmer at Salem. o., has sue
ceeded in growing potatoes without
vines. The patch of potatoes; it is
asserted, was planted by the owner
after many experiments, and 1.-THE
bulbs have grown to the size Of
large hen eggs with showing the
sign of sprout, but are clear and
white and growing rapidly
Verify this Ohio farmer who has
produced topless tuber is plant
wizard of the first magnitude and
Luther Burbank may well look to
his laurels and his potatoes. The
Burbank potato pales into insignifi-
canoe, alongside the vineless crea-
ton of the Ohio man.
The advantages of the Salem
product are such as will commend
themselves to every truck-groTer.
The farmer no longer will dread the
annual depredations of the pestifer-
Gus potato bug; there will be less
annrehension of the effects of early
frosts; the labor of gathering the
crop will be minimized, and the abb
sence of vines will remove many
possibilities of destruction or dam
age to the growing tubers. The
yineless potato will be easier to cul-
tivate and with proper attention
the product, no doubt, will be SUI
perior to the old-fashioned effores-
cent variety.
This is an instance, however,
where the potato-ralslng public will
have to be shown. The Salem Sto-
try will require confirmation almost
as strong as proof of holy writ. .
Until absolute demonstration Of thu
truth of the Salem mans botanical
accomplishment is Forthcoming
there will be a general suspicion
that he has been 'joshing, or that
some highly imaginative correspon-
dent has evolved a vegetable fake.
H )wever this may be, the news
| from Salem will not be without in
tercst to scientists and potato
growers. Louisville Courier Jourr-

THOUGHT His WEALTH USELESS.

A Kentucky banker died the 9TH
err day and left almost all of his
million-dollar estate to church Or
carnations of his native State,
practically disinheriting the mem
bers of his family. So radical de-
parture from the usual was not
made without an attempt at justlfi-
cation on the part of the testator.
"The observasions of q long life
h ave taught me-" he says in his
viii. Z" that inherited wealth is sell
dom useful to the one inheriting it,
while on the other hand, with the
blessings of God these beuefactions
will do untold good to thousands
yet unborn. "
There is a curious mixture of wis
dom and fallacy in this view of
wealth. 1t is true, of course, that
q very poor use is made by perhaps
a majority of those who inherit
great riches, but the fault lies with
them rather than with the theor y
that the family of a wealthy man
should have the greater portion of
his property. There are numerous
illustrations Of the wisest and most
benefcient use made Of inherited
riches, and it would be a rather
revolutionary principle on which to
proceed that the wealth of the pri-
mary owner Belongs to the State
for that is the socialism of this view
Men Of wealth owe great and bind
ing obligations 70 society to make
generous contributions to the gen.
eral good, and this may be done
without injustice to the families
brought up after the style Of the
wealthy. To heap up great for
tune and then compel members OF
the testator's family to start at the
foot of the hill of life, as this Ken
tuckian-did, is not the fulfilment
of every obligation of wealth, any
more than is the selfish withhold
ing of riches and their restriction to
a narrow circle of relatives, with
out thought of the general good. In.
heritance taxes are the protest OF
society against this sore of greed
That is one extreme The Ken
tuckyview is the other. The gold.
en- mean is the discharge of every
debt of justice and the keeping II
