one which deserves to be cherished
by us always.

BILE for the innovation. and Magistrate
Simpson made speeches In which they
explained the purposes of the new
court. Thirty summonses involving
about fifteen cases were issued They

rators. The summons charges that Mr..
Samuels made false statements and
false assignments of account.
Big Accounts Disputed.
According to Mr.. Goodman, Mr.. Sam
uels had falely represented that n num-
ber OF prominent persons owed his Arm
various amounts, among those men,
toned being Edwin Gould OF Seventy

sented as owing Samuels's firm $4,000 /;

alleged that the books of the French
company had showed an entry citing
Clarence II. Mackay as owing money
TO the Arm.
Mr.. Banton. in his opening statement.
said that he had been requested by mer-
chants associations to devise some plan
to check the obtaining Of money from
merchants and banks by the use or raise
financial statements. He said that after
a number OF conferences Chief City
Magistrate McAdoo had approved OF the
plan.
Inasmuch as these cases involve
large number OF witnesses, II would be
hardship for these persons to go from
court to court for the hearings. and COM
mercial fraud cases do not get the
proper attention in general courts, he
explained.

He said the new court will handle
all cases in which firms or individuals
make and present false statements OF
credit and finances in order to get addi-
tonal credit. All other business swindies
with regard to books will be handled, ne
said, including the assignment OF mer-
chandise which does not exist ana otner
illegalities of this type.
"There will be-, said Mr. Banton, "a

Conspiracy.
A Question Frequently Asked but
Never Satisfactorily Answered.

To THE New YORK HERALD: There is
one question frequently asked in discus
sion OF the miners strike and the shop
crafts strike. but never, to my knowl-
edge. satisfactorily answered.
1t is well established that il the own
ers and operators of tho coal mines
should conspire among themselves 10
deprive the public of fuel necessary 10
preserve it's health and keep it in food
they would be guilty Of a crime for
which they could be taken to court and
sentenced to heavy punishment.
1t is elementary that IL the directing
heads of the railroads should conspire
together TO deprive the public of the
transportation necessary for the fuel
ing OF its homes and its places of busi-
ness and the carrying OF the food re-
quired to sustain IL they too could be
hailed 10 court and severely punished.
This question therefore arises Why
cannot the coal miners who conspire to-
gether to deprive the public OF coal and
the railroad mon who conspire together
TO deprive the public OF essential trans
portation be likewise hailed to court,
All N1h'bA NY
punished?
j know that my question is not novel.
but ! also know that no satisfactory
answer 10 II has been brought forward.
II is not satisfactorily answered when
a labor leader bawls or n parlor red
lisps that American workers arc not
slaves"
We know that If President Loree CT
the Delaware and Hudson announced
that the railroad executives in their
mutual benefit organization were voting
on the question "Shali transportation
be discontinued on September so and
sor" he and his confreres would be Jailed
instanter. Why is not the same rule
applied to trade unionists who announce
that they are voting on proposals to
close mines or to cut off train service?

Railroads and Farms Affected by the

TO THE New YORK Herald: Your edi-

Wants" reminds me tha, we are about
completing the circle 81 uoohaulcal

coming Of the rubbe re0 on.
with a specially designed will
practically realize the earlier concep-
tions of the railway
Tho first general railroad law OF this
state did not provide an operating fran
chise as we understand railroading OF
to- day. It provided for the construction
OF the railway. but 1t was expected that
it was to be used by the public on the
same basis as the toll roads any one
who could provide an engine and cars
was to be free to use 1t upon the pay
ment of a proper charge.
Experience soon demonstrated the Inn
practicablity Of such operation. but the
very recent development OF farm trac-
tors equipped for road use at a max
imum speed OF fifteen miles an hour,
drawing the load instead OF carrying an
excessive weight upon the engine. with
its destructive wear OF highways and
undue strain upon bridges, shows that
the original idea of the railway was
rather in the line OF development. and
justines the prophecy that the time will
come when the tractor-trailer will per-
form many OF the functions Of the mod
ern railroad.
With transportation in a large meas
ure restored to the individual farmer
there will be tendency to variation In
crops, and In the great wheat raising
State Of New York we will not be trans
porting our -four from Minneapolis. A
Chautauqua county farmer this year
raised thirty-eight bushels OF wheat to
the acre. while the average OF the United
States is about fourteen bushels. The
tractor-trailer Is to be a real factor
In transportation we canrot afford to be
at the mercy OF the railroads and their
striking employees.

A Message From General Grant.

The foremost soldier of the North
ern armies in the civil war became
President OF the United States. Gen
eral GRANTS loyalty to the veterans
who had been under his command
was sincere and unswerving. Their
true interests he had at heart always
while he occupied the White House.
In the Forty-third Congress a sol
diers' bonus bill, partially disguised
under the title AN act to equalize
the bounties OF soldiers who served
in the late war for the Union" was
introduced in the House Of Repre-
sentatives in the spring of the year
1874. The Congress elections were
due the next November.
This bonus bill, masquerading as
measure of equalization, and involv-
ing what then seemed huge expen-
diture without provision of the means
of revenue to meet that expenditure,
contemplated the donation from the
United States Treasury OF sum
equal to $3.50 for every month OF
military service. 1t provided also
for land warrant option. The ar
guments OF the promoters OF the
bonus measure read to-day in the
Record as il they were advanced
yesterday and not nearly half a CEN
tury ago. The estimates Of the cost

from $4,000, 600 or s30,00O,000 up to
$150,OO0.O 900 and 400,000,000 acres Of
the public land.
This soldiers bonus bill OF 1874
passed the House on February 13,
1875, by vote of 1T to 40. Three
weeks later on March 3, it passed the
Senate, after considerable debate, by
81 to 30, the vice-President's affirm
ative vote breaking a tie. And then
the bill went to President GRANT, the
soldiers friend.

House bill No. 3341 is herewith

ciers who, it is supposed. viii be
the beneficiaries Of this appropria-
tion are applicants for il, but, rather.
IL would result more in a measure

Baptist Missionary Society Meets.

The Baptist Missionary Society met Wednesday, February 22, in the base ment Of the church for the monthly social meeting. Mesdames Ataway, N. B. Simmons and Miss Coats the hotesses for the evening proved them selves delightful in every way. The program took the form of a Martha washington tea party presided over by Mrs. Washington Miss Coatsl in which the following numbers were given: America, by congregation: piano solo, Betsy Ross,' Mrs. Ben ShaverJ; story of Washington, Mrs. Thomas Jefferson (Mrs. Glen Black); piano solo, Mrs. Washington, Miss Coats) reading, Mrs John o. Adams,
 Miss Verna Ataway); Star Spangled Banner, by congregation. After this delightful program Mrs. Washington assisted by her beautiful trained col ored maid (Mrs. Ataway) served tea and dainty cakes to the guests of the tea party while the hungry others looked on. The costumse of those assisting with the program together with the patriotic decorations, pot plants etc, made very pretty set ting. The Geo. Washington idea was further carried out in the refresh ments which consisted of red, white and blue brick ice cream and angel food cake with American flags as favors. The meetings for Wednes- day, March 1, are as follows: Sarah Short circle, Mrs. Freeman; Mamie Collins Circle, Mrs. 0. D. Turner; Junior Circle, Mrs. Ben Shaver.

We noticed that the American Bar Association has recommended rals- ing the requirements of all future lawyers to include a college education as we'll as a full course in school of law. There may be merits in it, certainly the more education the bet ter. but we were just wondering ii it wouldn't have a rocky road getting through when We take into considera- tion the number of self-educated law yers we have. Some of the 9blest jurists that ever sat upon any bench never saw inside a college We could even name several who could take on any of the fellows weighed down with diplomas and give them the toughest lawsuit of their lives. Some of them may not be college men, but they are post-graduates in the law and in their knowledge of men. We believe in the higher education and more of it, but would it be wise to close the gates against the Judge Priests of the future, they who have the native ability, though handicap ped to rise to the very top of an hon. ored profession
