A Word for the Lawyers.


Can lawyer do his duty toward God
and man and succeed in his profession :?
To this inquiry public opinion has an-
swered emphatically no. Like many
other dicta of that imperious critic, the
decision may well be questioned 1t
will be acknowledged that the fault is
not in the law, for that is based on the
principles set forth in the great Statute
Book The theory. then, must be that
success can only be obtained by dis
regard of moral obligation in the prac-
tice of the law. Ono of the arguments
in support of this position is that many
prosperous lawyers have risen by methods
anything but honorable. This may be
granted, and still it is not proved that
the same ends have not been accom-
plisbed with due legitimacy. Moreover,
there is not a profession or trade against
which the charge can not be made with
equal truth An apparently stronger
objection to the profession is found in
the well known statement, No honest
lawyer can defend criminal. The law,
looking to the good of society as whole,
declares that every man sholl be held in
nocent until he be proved guilty. 1t
provides for the accused fair trial by a
jury Of his peers, and allows him the
benefits of counsel. The wisdom of such
a provision will be doubted by none.
Were the Safeguards Of liberty less
strong innocence would often suffer,
through mistake, the penalties reserved
for culprits. Now. if the testimony is
inconclusive, the same law which gives
the prisoner the benefit Of the doubt per-
mits, nay, its spirit if not its letter,
commands the lawyer for the defence to
claim his clients acquittal. Again, in
many cases there are extenuating cir
cumstances, facts. which when properly
presented, greatly modify the crime
Here is call for the counsels services.
Sometimes Judges, though desiring to
be fair and entirely unparalleled. lean,
unconsciously. toward the prosecution.
Undue influence is brought to bear upon
the jury in many ways In all of these
instances the untiring vigilance Of the
lawyer is needed that justice may be
preserved. With the removal of this
great stumbling block of objection, hon
est success ut the Bar becomes an ad-
mitted possibility. The query then arises
which, financially considered, is the bet
tor, integrity or kDavery. can sec no
cause for denying the old age. Nor
does it need very profound philosophy
to persuade any but a pcssimist that vir-
the will triumph here as elsewhere.
Naturally the people will seek the ad-
vice of men whom they eau trust.
Finally it is my firm opinion that the
lawyer who goes forth with the law of
the Creator written on the tablets Of his
heart who is faithful TO his clients,
and whose actions conform to the spirit
Of that grand motto, sans pew et, sans
reproche, will, other things being equal
far excel his unprincipled competitors.

The Tramp that was vaccinated.

One of the city physicians was the
other day called upon by a stranger,
whose ragged and greasy clothes and
long hair and reckless look betrayed the
genuine tramp, and when the doctor
asked what was wanted the man re-
piled: q
II kinder thought I'd be vaccinated.
I'm travelling around good deal, aud
if | should catch tho smallpox it might
make me uncomfortable" r
The doctor said he thought it would
be n good plan, and he was getting his
lancet ready when the tramp asked:
us there any washing up, or hair
cutting, or soaking the feet connected
with this ?"
"Oh, no."
"Have | got to wait any certain time
before can take drink or sit down 10
dozen raw oysters :"
mo, sir"
Then. if it's plain straight case.
you can go ahead on my left arm. I
work on certainty, and take ne risks
on anything. This is bad looking
shirt, and that arm might be cleaner,
but Pm economizing. Cut mo just about
there, aud you'd better make sure job
of it, as TN too busy too fool around
about it again"

Taking Time by the Forelook.

At the battle Of Grovet0n, Stonewall
Jackson tried an experiment which
nearly frightened Federal division out
Of their boots Bars Of railroad iron
were cut up into foot-lengths and fired
from some of his heaviest guns, and the
noise these missiles made as they went
sailing through the air was sort Of a
cross between the shrek of woman
and the bray Of mule. The Eederals
listened in wonder at the first few which
banged through tho tree-tops, and pres
emily one Of these pieces fell just in front
of Pennsylvania regiment. A cap.
tain stepped forward TO inspect it, and
after turning it over he rushed to bis
colonel with the news:
Colonel, them Internal rebs are fir
ing railroad iron at us!'
"NoW
They are, for fact"
Captain, advance your company to
that ridge and deploy, and the minute
you find Jackson is getting ready TO fire

those in money matters To be dis

TO make our abodes simply buildings de-

appointed by the business men o. st.

F. Hubbard, governor elect of the state

trary to the law of the land, it constitutes no
defense, even if it were true that when he
committed the act he really believed he was
thereby producing public benefit or carrying
out an inspiration of divine origin
or approval. Such belief would not afford
any excuse, nor would such excuse be afforded
by the fact that in the commission of the act
he was impelled by depraved moral sense,
whether innate or acquired. or by vile passion
or indifference to moral obligations"
Guiteau-"All of which is false"
Third-Insanity would, however, constitute
defense if by reason of diseased mind the
accused, at the time of committing the act
charged, did not know what he was doing, or,
If he did know it, that what he was doing was
contrary to law.
Guiteau-"I had no choice in the matter. +"
Fourth-"The only evidence in the present
case tending to show an irresistible impulse
to commit the homicide is the claim of the
accused that his free agency was destroyed by
his alleged conviction that the death of the
president was required for the good of the
American people, and was divinely inspired;
but such conviction, even if it really existed,
could not afford any excuse when the party
knew what he was doing, and that it was con-
trary to law No mere delusiOn or error of
Judgment, not even fixed belief that what IS
prohibited by law as commanded or approved
by divine authority-(G uiteau-"God's law is
higher than mans law")-can exempt
the accused from responsibility in breaking
the law. To have such effect the commission
of the act charged must have been the result
of an insane delusion which was the product
of disease, and of such force as to deprive the
accused of the degree OF reason necessary to
distinguish between right and wrong in re-
spect of the act, so that at the time of COM
hitting the act he either did not know what
he was doing, or if he did, that the act was
wrong or contrary to the law of the land.
At Scovill's suggestion the court then
adjourned until Saturday.

SCHOOL MATTERS.
Free Tuition for NONRESIDENT Pupils in
High Schools Receiving State Aid-En-
rO1lment of Pupils of Night Schools, Etc.

Free Tuition for NONRESIDENT Pupils in
High Schools Receiving State Aid-En-
rO1lment of Pupils of Night Schools, Etc.
The High School board, consisting of
the governor, Prof. Falwell of the state
university, and state superintendent
Kiehle, held brief session, the business
transacted being merely routine. The
applications of several schools to be ad-
mitted to the operation of the high school
act, expected to come before the board,
was postponed to another meeting.
A decision of the attorney general,
of interest to high schools,
was laid before the board The decision
was upon the question as to what class
of nonresident pupils of high schools
receiving state aid are entitled to free
tuition. The attorney general decides
that all such pupils, passing the required
examination, are entitled to such free tut
ton. A decision upon the point was
made necessary from the fact that it was
held in some quarters that only such nom
resident pupils as entered the university
preparatory department of high
schools receiving state aid were
entitled to free tuition, and not such nom
resident pupils entering other depart
ments.
The attorney general also yesterday
rendered opinions upon two questions
submitted to him by Superintendent
Kiehle. The second question was made
by superintendent Wright of the st. Paul
schools. The attorney general says:
"You ask. L. "In case lands are set off
from one district and joined to another after a
tax has been levied, but before it has been
paid, into which treasury should the tax be
paid. If it belongs to the former by what
means can it be recovered in case it has been
paid to the latter?'
1t shonld be paid to the treasurer of the
district from which the land was taken. If
payment is refused, demand should be made,
and if not then paid a suit at law is the only
way to recover it.
''2. Can the enrolment of evening schools,
conducted by the regular corps of teachers,
be reported for apportionment the same as
day pupilsg"
They can. There is nothing in the law re-
quiring the apportionment to be made to day
scholars only. Care, however, should be
taken to see that the list of pupils is not du-
plicated-some on day list and some on even
ing list.
