WICKED WoRK.-Scarcoly any crime 10
more base and wicked than that Of spread
ing false reports to iDjure the property Of
another. 1t is largely done 10 the stock
market, and men are bad enough to do any
thing to depress or elevate a stock in which
they wish to speculate. Even newspapers
will lend themselves to it, and seek to make
money out Of the ruin Of others. Here is an
institution, bank, an insurance company, 3
railroad corporation, perfectly sound, well
managed and attending only to its own bust
ness. The coll-blooded Spectator whispers
a suspicion that all is not right. The re-
port grows as it goes. 1t takes shape and
becomes statement. Alarm takes hold of
those interested. The stock goes down un.
der the panic. Widows and orphans and
quiet investors are frightened and sell out at
terrible loss. Some are utterly ruined.
The Spectator buys for he knows that his
own rascality started the story, and when
tho panic is past he will reap a harvest. So
the wicked gain what the others lose.
There is no help for this wickedness but
in IN improved moral sense among men Of
business. The more hazardous business is,
the moro demoralizing it is; and, while it is
very true that buying aud selling stocks is
as legitimate a business as any other, its
temptations are so great that such words Of
warning and rebuke as these are greatly
needed.-Ne,o York Observer.

oirOumstantial Evidence.

1t looks to me as if it was about time to
stop hanging people on what is known as cir
cumstantial evidence. Among the legal pro-
fession, and in judicial circles. we believe
there is an opinion that it is the strongest
evidence that can be offered. This may be
true, certain conditions being granted. When
every link in the long chain Of connecting
circumstances is clearly perceived--which
condition we do not believe is realized once
in thousand times, guilt would b.
proven with a certainty. This is the object
of courts aud the whole fabric Of judicial pro-
cedure. Probability that man has COM
mitted crime,-very strong probability,
probability that amounts almost to a certain
ty,-is not enough. No law, and no people
acting through law, has right to deprive a
man Of his liberty or his life,-no, nor his
property--on anything less than the abso lutte
certainty that he committed the misdemeanor
OF which he is charged. To hang man be-.
cause he probably is guilty-because hun
bred concurrent circumstances point TO his
quilts committing second murder; and
through legalized forms actually doing the
very deed which the supposed murderer is
believed TO have done.
1t shows very loose administration of
Justice, and indecent haste aud gross care
lessness in the proceedings Of the court, when
a man can be brought to the very edge Of
the gallows in one Of the New England states
under evidence so slight that the enterprise
of clever editor Of sprightly morning pa
per Overturns it by publication that il may
have taken his composing room sixty minutes
to set up. 1t looks as il His Excellency, the
governor Of Vermont, could have had very
slight appreciation of his position as chieI
magistrate toward one Of his fellow citizens
and very little personal concern touching the
right aud wrong Of his mAgisterial acts, when
he could allow man to come 30 nigh death
