Haturday last advocating the running of two
quarter sessions courts, en Iho same plan a
the common pleas court are conducted, has
been the subject or considerable talk during
the past week. The first wren who speke
en tbe subject ten ropresonlatlveof the I.STlii,
i.!ii:.N(i:u wa thu president Judge of the
ceurbi of Lancaster county. He sild : "In
my Judgment the article en two quarter ses.
slens courts was the most sensible that has
appeared lu any of the lectl papers for the
past year. Twe courts a'O needed for a
prefwr nnd prompt discharge of the quarter
sessions business and if the lNTM.i.t(ii..ci:it
can accomplish their suggestion it will
be innre thin I have been able te de.
I have Intimated te the preper authorities
that two courts wero necessary but nothing
dollnlte was accomplished." The Judge then
proeeedod te show that the adjourned courts
could bodlspensed with, if the new system
was lu use, and without adjourned terms
the oxpense te the county would be lessened
hev eral thousand dot ars each year. In nlne
caoeutof ten the county pay the cost In
quarter session cases, and It fellow that if
twice the business could be dene each week
of criminal court, tbe county w uld save an
enormous suni iu wltnes fee alone.

Thore are from 120 le J00 cases roturned
each term, and about one-half of tkosecaso
are dlsposed of at the regular term. Tbe
remaining cases go evor te the adjourned
term for want of time, but all the mme the
witnesses are In attendance at the expense of
thoceunty.and II tee two court system w a In
cllect the cmsi s of these for which there I net
tlme te try In 0110 court could be dlsiiosed of
In tbe ether.
Several promlnent attorneys who were
speken toeu the subject also favor the new
system. They complain of having te be in
quarter sessions during all tbe week and say
that If two courts were In ojieratieu they
would net be kept any mere from their elllces
than new and they would gain the tune out
of court, which they are new compelled te
put In attending adjourned courts,
THE CLFIIK I WOKS 11.
The deputy clerk el the quarter sessions
court w a asked for hi opinion en the sub
ject nnd he replled that be wa In favor of
the new system. While il would cost a little
mere te run the elllre, an additional man
being requlred for the loner cfii'rt, the ex
pense would net be great. A genl man well
qualified say for instan e a young attorney,
could be i-ecurcil for f-i fir each week of
rpiarter sessions court,
'Ihore 1 but one man that can ttnd In the
way of sivlug theusind et dollar annually
te the county. That man I the district at
torney. New would be the time te make the
change. With the new district attorney It
could be started. v illlam D Weaver, If he
lives, will be the next district attorney. He
will enter upon the dutlis el hi elllce en the
tirst Monday of Januarv
what will, the inritii r iiiehmi de?
William D. Weav or I called upon te say
where be stand en this important question.
He asked for the elllce en the ground that he
was "a line legal scholar, a gentleman iu
ev ery respect and well worthy el thoefllee."
Se reads ene of the communication that ap
peared in the dally piper during the cam
paign. It i presumed that a man worthy of
the elllce will socendin t it that It will he for
the host Interests of the county. The best In
terests of the county are smaller quarter ses
sions bills and that will be the result II Mr.
Weaver favors tbe new system, lie will net
have much te lese. Hi fei s will be decreased
euly what be pty an nsslstant. He will still
uiake $.,000 a y ear out of the efllce.
If William D Weaver, the coming district
atterney, will after election sav te tee court,
"appoint nn assistant distr it attorney ami
give the twoeourts system a tr a ler ene year
at least," he will prove teat he s ile-erving
of the efllce and mere humus mitv bem stere
for lilm.

Itis a departure wbicn weu.d meet with
the approval of nlltaxptyers Auether big
advautage would be that there would be
prompt and speedy trials of case returned
te the quarter sessions muru and business
men who are dragged luteiuurt as wituense
would net be compelled te remain there day
alter day waiting le be called.
It would require about mi jurors iu evch of
tbe four criminal court week. That number
would admit oftwejurlts being out, and
there would still boa Huilb-ient number from
which te select two ether nine te keep the
court busy.
