THE CRIMINALS FRIEND.

There is no doubt that the country is cursed
with too much law and too many lawyers.
brutal rptfian who has taken human life in
thoroughly brutaly and rufiianly manner is ar
rested for his deed of blood and is no sooner IN
his cell than half dozen leading criminal
LAWYERS are laying the wires to secure the JOB
of saving his neck from the gallows. If he
has money they make contract with hun to
protect him from justice for SO much cold
cash If he is poor and the crime is partle-
ularly revolving and atrocous there are to be
found plenty of brilliant attorneys who Will
willingly take the case for glory and to aa-
vertise their trade The newspapers compl-
ment their skill, their speeches are reported
and their success assists them to get the
handling of some other important case With
big money in it, The District Attorneys who
prosecute cases OF this kind are As rule elect
ed by the people and seldom able to cope
with the legal heavy weights who conduct the
defence. If the officer of the State, how
ever, happens to be man OF superior ao'li'y'
the criminals friends will send to neighbour
ing State and pay any price to engage some
man whose reputation for securing the acquit-
tai of hard criminals is notorious. How often
do We hear the remark, "Ot course ne s
guilty, but with Judge - handling his case
he's sure to get off. - No matter what the
evidence may be the cute lawyer builds
fertilization of technicalities about his client,
and though the facts of the case are beyond
controversy or bubble, the defense Is almost
invariably able to secure verdict OF acqnit'
tai, disagreement of the jury, or If the YER
| dict is against him it is still an easy matter
to save the prisoners neck by the various
resorts common in such cases. Things have
reached such pass that even when the YER
dict of {" guilty OF murder In the tlrst degree
comes in, the prisoner Is perfectly composed,
for his counsel nudges him in the ribs and
| assures him that he need feel no concern:
If newspaper should sell its columns to
| murderer for coin, and work night and day
to defeat justic, as great criminal lawyers DO,
it would raise a howl of public indignation
before which it would ultimately be sbllged
to bow Yet the lawyers, who follow the
business of shielding red handed marderers
as a profession, are extolled as able Jurlsts
and distinguished lights of the bar 1t might
probably further the ends of jsstice if the
great criminal lawyers were bought OFT and
put on pension list, provided they gave
bonds not to defend notorious murderers, or
that they were retained on fat salaries by the
State to appear only in the role OF pubic
prosecutors Ii these arrangements cannet
be perfected, the reorganization of the old
Vigilance Commtteesshould be seriously cen
| sidered

The appointment of General Howard as
Commander of West Point is an excellent
idea Howard has been failure all his life as
a soldier, and whenever placed in active SER
vice, either got whipped badly or allowed the
enemy to escape. Perhaps when placed in
some retired place where there is no danger,
he may be able to do better. 1t is to be hoped {,
however, that the soldiers which come from
West Point under his administration may
never happen to be placed in so critical con-
dition as field of battle.

The NEVADA AND OREGON RAILROAD
Ground has been broken on the Nevada and
Oregon Railroad at Reno, amid the usual
ceremonies. The Reno people, however, re-
fuse to take stock in the new road until they
can be assured that all the work will be done
by white labor. This assurance has been
given; but the people should see that some
restrictions are placed upon sub-contractors
which will prevent the stockholders from be-
ing duped. When tho road is finished it will
materially offset the business interests of
Carson, and the only thing left for US to do to
save the city is to erect the Reduction Works
as soon rs possible.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-Some soldiers on leave
of absence have teen ordered to return to
Ireland. The feeling among the lower or
der Of the people is said to be very strong
against the military. Even in Dublin, it is
a common practice to shoulder soldiers off
from the foot path to provoke a quarrel. The
movement of troops ex cited a very uneasy
feeling. 1t is generally believed the govern
ment possesses information warranting the
apprehension of danger. The government
made very complete preparations for any
contingency. Immense supplies of provisions
tents and other campaigning supplies have
been stored in central depots. 1t is stated all
preparations point to the conclusion that the
government believe that far greater danger
than is seen larks behind. Store ships have
arrived from Woolwich with 1000 rounds of
backshot, large quantities of ball cartridges
and intrenching tools. Another vessel is
shipping a similar cargo at Woolwich for new
stations at Bruffa, Mehill, Carnick on the
Shannon and Bally on the Shannon which
will be occupied by troops, Positions are
we'll chosen, being centres of the disturbed
districts, from which troops could operate in
various directions. At all stations where
cavalry are quartered without infantry, sup
plies of ammunition will be increased to fifty
rounds per man.
