I notice la Tbe Bee seme remarks by a

Imply thst perhaps the attorneys could
hsve helped some If they would.
"Well. I concede that lawyers are net
prose to rush matters, but I wish te pre
test against the iT-ateotkiia that they are
respcasibl for all the timethst's lest by
the blind goddess In her work as judicial
welghmaater. It seems ts me that ths
court themselves' sre act as expedious ss
they might be. nor as ambitious to savatbe
district's time. Judgs Baxter declared !a
tbe MDler-rnltt case that' be wouMa't
tolerate any delay, but that Is tbe only
instance. I recall this ten or last whea
a Judge baa made anything like a real do
ssed for economy of time-' and that came
after the contest bad heea so long ba ccurt
that tbe preerat generation could scarcely
remember Its beginning, t think that at
torneys hsve found la tb general sttltad
ef Judges encouragement rather thsa dis
coaragement for this sort ef thing. They
have found that almost any kind cf aa ex
cue will sufflcs wkh' so an ef tbe Judge
when an attorney wishes a case passed and
they bare drifted Jnte tb habit of doing
tbtegs whea It is most convenleat.
M kt Pay the rreleTstr , '.
Then, too, I msy set up the claim that
there is less demand for celerity of action
upon the part ef a lawyer teas there Is
up os a court. When a Iswyer sacrifice his
ttm by delaying matters be ts spending
his own money, in eCert. When er Judge
allows delays be speada p ths people'
money., a his own salary goes oa stfd the
salaries of thos about blm. Frequently 1
have eeea squads ef Jurors sitting around

Judges were either in their offices ar away

twelve. Their bailiffs draw 175 per month,
hare little te do but keep order. Ice water

about tea moaths in tbe " year. Then
there is a stenographer for each Judge, and
be gets 1125 per month. Sons of tbem
put In nearly full time; others not much
more thsa half. And, cf course, they getJ
the two month vacation, with their sal
aries going right on. We lawyers msy
take vacstions, but It is at our own ex
pense. Incidentally. I may add. that It all
lawyers are charged as much a for
transcripts as I am. and I presume they
are, the court stenographers maks enough
money on the aid te give them a good
living. Indeed. I bare been told by earn
of them that their salaries are practically
clear. t

ere giving Vlloa three days ts quit the
colony. This he did promptly- enough. He
was already ea tbe Spanish frigate la ths
harbor when tbe decree wa officially pre
seated to blm. Aubry protested ia tas
aaa of Ibe king of Franc agaiast th
revolution and f cucauli, ia order to be pre
pared for any emergency recorded hi
cplnioa that under French lav "son of th
Spanish officer could be legally sent away."
I Ilea, however, did sot car to stay to
argue ths legality ef tbe decree of ex
pulsion, and oa tbe evening of October tL
l-68. he sailed from New . Orleans ia
French ship for Havana, wbers bs found
60 Spanish troops tbe long -delayed re-
oreement Ti bad beea waiting for. He I
kil bad enough ef attempting te covers
Louisiana, however, and bs satisfied aim-
self with msklrg out tb report . te the
Spanish court which led ta th cabinet
council ea tb question ef abaadpnlng
Louisiana er suppressing th rebellion.
. After nioa'a bants h meet, tbs people in
th Boarket place of New Orleans cheered
themselves hoars for France and Louis th
eil-Beloved, but th
republican ceaspiT'
atom, after tbs council had sdoptfd r "Jus

lication and filled with loyalty to France,
proceeded te form tbeir plans aad to draw
op tb accessary documents tor establish
ing the Republic of 'Louisiana, of ahlch
Lafrenlere wss to be msde "protector.
Thus from October, 1761, until July, 176J,
whea Couat O'Reilly eppeared before New
Orleans .with a powerful Spaalah fleet, th
roloajr of Iwiisnns wss detached from th
control ot Europe aad th first Americaa
revolution bad succeeded.
It is something more tbaa a coincidence
that Just at this time the British General
Cage, stationed at Boston, began to call
la the British troops from Mualssippl rir
nations, feeling tbat there was seed te
geaceatrate tbem agaiast tbs tegianings
ef the second Americaa revolution, which

The Wemaa's club baa won Ita fight with
tbe Board of Education, which met Monday
tight, aad tb girl' gymnasium at the
High school ta te be opened, aal placed
In charge ef aa lastructor. Juet whea it
will be opeaed. however. Is not certain, ar
that It will not ke at a more remote date
thaa September 1 ef this year. At that
time the Instructor' salary begins. It la
thought by several of ths board, aotwlth
tandiog this, that tb gymnasium may b
placed ia operation at cece.
Tbe battle for tb opening ef tb gymna
sium wa not won wit boat a straggle. Tb
lines war sharply draws, and for awhll
It looked as tbeagh tb friend and enemies
af tbe measure mould be throwing books
and ink bottles at each other. Tbe ques
tion came ap ea a motioa t appoint Mis
Gertrude M scomber, daughter ef Judge J. H.
Maromber as physical director at a eslary
of $61 per month.
Mr. Weed objected en the ground of econo
my, while Mr. Howard said tbs beard sboall
net let slip so excelleat an opportunity to
secure a competent Instructor la this de
partment. Ceaammee Bepert Favorably
Tie motioa that Miss Macomber be ap
pointed was mad by tbe chairman of tb
High school committee. Robert Smith, which
committee had reported tarorabls to tb
appointment. President Barnard said the
report was insufficient, a It did not show
that the candidate bas been examined as ta
her qualification, aad ordered the roll called
oa tb qeesttea cf whether tb report should
be referred back to the committee. This
resulted la eight negative and seven af
Urma live rotes, and tb question was lost.
A motion was then made thst Miss Ms-
comber be elected. It was put to a rote,
and resulted: la rot ef at afflrmatire
and aix aegatlv rotes. President Barnard
declared 'the motion lost, as. bs said, a
two-third rote was required, to elect a
1fcher wba bad sot beea examined. Robert
Smith appealed from tbe decision of tb
chair. The appeal was put to a rote, thus:
Shall tb chair be sustained V It result ed
1 negstiv to ix afflrmatire. Presl
carnara ruieo mat tne cnatr haa peea

fjulred te eve mils the chair.
Robert Smith said: Tbls is aa-arbi

purpose of a majority ef this board. Such
rr. lings would better become the presiding
fflcer ef a kangaroo court tbaa of a digni

r7. F. Jobxaoa appealed from the chair's
decision ea the result ct the last rota, sad
th appeal was eeoooded by Robert Smith.
President Barnard attempted to explain
bis position.
'Aa appeal is not debatable'" exclaimed
W. T. Jehnsea. There 1 aa appeal be
fore th house, and any chairman , that
k't pat aa appeal ought te be Im
peached!' -
Thbt wa the climax of tb seen. A
half dozea member were talking at oacs.
all trying to catch the Cbfclrmaa'a eye. and
tbe chairman was rapping for 'rdet. J-JL
Smith raised hi - rolc shore th tuauit

Tbe troth of this struck heme, and tbe
