That Mrs. Tilton Will not testify is gen.
orally conceded. Mr.. Beecher's Brook
lyn organ has appeared with long edi-
torial against changing the law TO meet
this exceptional case, and that Is the at
titude of lawyers and juries in general.
/" Change the law to oblige Beecher and
TiltonP" said distinguished jurist last
week. "Why, do they want. to make
the law as progressive as their morals
If the law forbidding wife to testify in
q case concerning her husband is ever to
be changed, hope it will not be on such
an occasion as the present, which seems

siobber and find no clean rest anywhere
in it for the sole of his foot" Judge
Morris, and we believe, Mr.. Pryor, say
that they would rather like to see Mrs
TiIton on the stand, but want the de.
fense to call her, as she is more properly
their witness. People who have INDUCED
the delusi0n that this unhappy couple
are ever to meet and dwell together
again are not probably ever TO be graft

The Boston Traveller denounces the
author oil the report of the Labor Bureau
as a Communist. What happy word
that is! "CommunismY is increasing

the stockholders and more especially
the managers? The tendency Of our
railway management is to Communism

competition! The Traveller thinks the
report is scandal to the State in say
ing that she has $4,000 children growing
up in ignorance. Fortunate if the num-
Der is not much larger. 1t is also slan-
derous in saying that factory children
are injured by that confinement, while
they should be at school until six.
teen years of age. 1t strikes US that
children should attend school regu
larly up to that period of life, and tha
the time is short enough. The Traveller
also criticises the report for saying thai
the wages of the husband and fathel
should he sufficient for the support of hii
family. Why not2 The Traveller thinks
that skilled iaborer with small fam
lily should make enough to support them
but that an unskilled laborer With {
large family should not expect wages
enough for that purpose. This is all thu
evidence adduced to prove that the Blu
reau Commission is Communist.

SOME editor has spoken very justly OF
lawyer imposture at the Brooklyn trial.
Every attempt to work upon the pre-.
judices of any members of the jury is a
foul imposture. Its object is to blind the
juror to the truth and secure an unjust
verdict. The lawyers on both sides have
been full of imposture from the first
The inquisition into Tilton's religious
and social opinions is an imposture
because they have not the most
remote relation to the merits
of the case. Inquiries into
the moral character of Tilton and Monl-
ton are pertinent as bearing upon the
credibility Of, his. testimony, but his phi.
losophical or religious opinions were
. drawn out solely for the purpose Of
awakening against him the prejudice Of
one or more Of the jurors. Evarls per
petrated glaring imposture when, In
reply to Tilton's statement of his admi
ration of Russell, the Paris communist
he exclaimed, "Yes, that is the man wht

What had such an observation tt

The great object on both sides has bee'
and yet is, to break down the characte

At Forked River, small village near
Barnegat Beach, Ocean county, N. j., an
old man named Rube Williams lived a
hermit-like existence for many years.
They say he went from that vicinity
when a young man to follow the sea, ,and
that he was pirate. The tierce-looking
old man was associated III the minds OF
the,young persons thereab0ut with the
stories told OF the pirates OF Barnegat,
and those having OCCASION to pass his
dwelling after dusk gave wide berth.
Some years ago a widowed and childlesS
sister, Mrs. Hams, whose husband. haa
left her some money, moved to Forked
River, bought a little place, and per-
suaded RUDE to live with her. Dying
recently, she appointedas her executors
her young nephew, Daniel Williams, and
neighbor, benjamin Holmes, and left
her estate TO be divided equally among
her surviving relatives. The executors,
in dividing the personal property, found
quilted in the padding beneath an old
carpet on the floor OF her house upward
Ut $1,000 in gold and silver coin. Her
nephew turned this into currency, and
the executors divided it like the rest oil
the property. When old Rube heard Of
| this he was wild. He said that the old
gold and silver belonged to him and OF
to his sister, and was heard to make
threats against his nephew. Soon alter.
wards young Williams went OH the
place with surveyor to set of the lots
lor each of the heirs, and when near d
clump Of the scrubby pines which abound
i'll that region, the surveyor heard the
report OF the gun, and turning about saw
| Williams fall, receiving the charge OF
slugs mostly in his shoulder. He was
not mortally wounded. Oia Rube is tt
| DO tried next month.

EDITORIAL MORALITY.

After describing the Impossibility O
preventing adventurers from invading
the Black Hills territory of the Sioux in
search of gold, the st. Louis Globe
says: :.
"If.these incarnate demons shall at,
tempt to take up the question and dis.
pose oft according to their own methods
the duty of the Government will be to
stand by its citizens right or wrong. The
poorest adventurer In the gold land is
worth the whole pack OF its nominal
owners, and If the Government has an
imperi0us duty to perform in maintain
ing the guaranteed treaty rights of these
copper-colOred wards Of the nation, ithas
duty not less imperious in keeping its
| citizens from the scalping-knife and the
tomahawk at all times and in all places.
Its inability to perform its duty Of keep
ing white men out OF the reservation
does not ut all exempt 1t from its duty
to protect these law breakers from pro-
miscuous murders."'
The morality of this passage Is more
worldly than wise. Ifone reckless semi
barbarous gold.hunter is worth the whole
tribe of Sioux, OF course the editor of the
Globe considers himself worth the whole
army of poor adyenturers; and one
Stewart or Vanderbilt or Astor Is oi
more consequence than half the people
of the State of New York.
By estimating and taking care of per.
sons by this standard OF value and on
this principle, we fear that one-half the
white people Of this country can never
hope for anything except can increasing
sacrifice of themselves for the benefit oil
the few who are 80 valuable! AS to be-
ing shot down and scaIped, that is the
Indian method of self-proteotion against
invaders OF their territory, and the in
vaders know it. What right then have
their friends to complain when they
meet the punishment which they have
deliberately invited2 Let them mind
their own business and avoid trespass.
ing on the rights of others, and no harm
will come to them. The Indians have
just as good right to their mode of de-
tense as we have to ours.
Michigan does not hang the murderer,
but such disposition is made OF him in
Ohio. According to the morals of the
Globe, If Wolverine commits murder
In Ohio and is sentenced to the gallows
the State of Michigan should make wal
upon Ohio, both because tho poorest
citizen of Michigan is considered worth
the whole pack Of Buckeyes, and because
our mode of punishment is considered
barbarous.
This sort of morality won't elevate the
editorial profession. Neither is it legal.
The Government is warning all whom il
may concern to keep out of the Black
Hills; but the Globe, after telling them
they may go with impunity, warns the
Indians that they will be shot down b,
the Governmental if they presume to drive
the invaders from their territory. w,
| do the same to all invaders. We pro
ceed against them with guns well loaded
and if they don't fly we shoot. And yet
If the Sioux do the same thing we must
annihilate them, or AZ least, after killing
many, seize their landsl
