EXCUSE FOR PoLIeANr.-The story
runs that once, in the dark ages, q
young man was brought before the au.
thorities. charged with having married
several wives. When called upon for
his defence, at is true" said he,
most learned judges, that l have mar.
ried several women, but Judge for your.
selves II my object in so doing was not
prsiseworthy. A man has, surely, a
right, IL he buys an article for good,
and Il turns out to be bad, to reject it.
Now, I found that the 6rst wife I mar.
ried was ill-tempered, the second lszy,
the third false, and so forth. AllIwant
10 to get . good one. and shall be
satisfied" The bench we're puzzled
at this novel defence. but after short
consultation. dscreed that as il would
be impossible for the defendant to end
. perfect wife except in the other world,
he should be Immediately put to death.
TO enable him 10 look for one. How
many indignant feminine readers think
he was served Just right?

EEJames T. Brady charges-and
justly-tbst the real authors and insti-
gators of the late riot in New York,
kept out of the way OF danger. He
makes an eloquent appeal to the mis-
guided men who participated in the
outbreak, not 10 allow themselves to be
made fools Of BY a lot Of cowardly
sneaks. who seek to further their selfish
personal and political ends by exciting
turmoil and bloodshed. Who these
"cowardly snesks" are it is not difficult
to guess.
Many Of them are marked. The
brand Of guilt is stamped indelibly on
their foreheads. They cannot escape
the consequences Of their crimes.
The victims Of their hellisb plot
tings-tbe unhappy wretches whom
they egged on. but had not the courage
to lead-will curse them as the authors
Of their misfortunes. The time Of their
punishment is not yet; but it will very
soon come. The avepging Fstes are
on their track. They may flee from
the "wrath to come" but they cannot
escape.--ALbaay Evening Journal.

Rrsrsrrra Laws As Urcorsrrrurror

RESISTING LAWS As UNcossTITUrIoN.
AL.-Gen. jackson, in his Fare well Ad-
dress to the people Of the United States,
laid down the American doctrine with
regard to testing the constitutionslity
Of laws, as follows:
"But, in order TO maintain the Union
unimpaired, it is absolutely necessary
that the laws passed BY the constitution
al authorities should be faithfully exc.
cuted in every part Of the country, and
that every good citizen should. at all
times, stand ready 10 put down, with
the combined force Of the Nation, eve
ry attempt at unlawful resistance, IN.
der whatever pretext il may be made.
or whatever shape il may assume
Unconstitutional or oppressive laws may
no doubt be passed by Congress, either
from erroneous views, or the want Of
due consideration; il they are within
reach OF judicial authority. the remedy
is easy and peaceful: and II, from the
character of. the law, il is an abuse Of
power not within the control Of the In.
dietary, then free discussion and calm
appeals to reason and to the iustice q
the people, will not fail to redress The
wrong" -

PosIrlos OF Hon. BRUrus ]. Clay

ceptance:

loyal States. BY refusing the means oI
sustaining the military strength Of the
nation.

Most people think the selections Of mat

when the question is not what shall.
but wha, shall not be selected Is no easy

Der could have edited Il we should hear
less complaint. Not unfrequently Is Il
.he case that an editor looks all over
BIS exchange papers for something in
teresling. and can absolutely find moth

tribution boz, and yet something must
be bad; bis paper must come out with
something in it. and he does the best

least care about Whist he selects, the

there is nothing in It that suits him it
must be stopped; it is good for nothing.
Just ss many subscribers as an editor
may have. so many tastes he has to

One likes anecdotes, fun and frolic;
and the next door neighbor wonders
that q man Of good sense will put such

INTERVIEW BETWEEN THE PRES.
IDENT AND NR. lsEECEIK.
The Secretary Of s,ate and France.

From An Occdsiona. Correspondent
WARRINGTON Feb. ~, 1903.
Three DAYS ago. secret interview is said TO have
taken place ut friends house between MIR. Lincoln
and Mr. MERCER, in which, if am to trust my III
formant. questions of tue greatest moment were re-
viewed and discussed.
Notwithstanding the MYSTERY observed IN that IN
teryicw it is reported in diplomatic circles that Mr.
Lincoln denies having Lad any share in the framing
Of the document written in reply TO Drouyn de
Lhuyss proportion, further than TO have expressed,
in cabine, counsel that the tue for listening to the
Kind suggestions OF France had not yet arrived.
lie was very sorry to learn that exception had
been taken TO the form in which the views Of the
Cabinet had been set forth; and he hoped that the
French Government would only notice the necessity
imposed upon the Administration TO refuge s propo-
eion, without paying any attention to the manner
| in which that refusal hst been presented.
Ii is also stated that tie President has recently
been visited by prominent Senators and partisans,
with whom he as remained Closeted several hours.
The greatest seoIosy is observed upon the subjects
discussed in their interviews the results of which, il
| is said, will soon be made known L is noteworthy
that at the rulre time a certain New.lorl Journal
