TRE CINCINNATI RIOT.

The riot at Cincinnati is simply very
violent protest against a state of things
which had become unbearable there and
other places. Il appears that the admins
tration of justice in Cincinnati has been de-
graded for some time. As one result of this
murders have been frequent. Not long ago
family was killed in order that their bodies
might be sold to medical college. The Jail
which was attacked contained more than
twenty murderers- And when William Ber-
ner, who had confessed that he murdered his
victim, was only found guilty of mansIaught
er through the Vaccinations of unscrupu-
lous criminal lawyers and the verdict of an
ignorant if not corrupt jury, the exaspera.
tion of part of the public could not be
controlled
Murat Halstead telegraphs that the meeting
held Friday night was intended by those who
called it to prevent rather than promote
violence. Be this as it may, it was great
meeting. 1t was held in Music Hall, which
was filed to its utmost capacity. Many of
the best citizens attended it, and the speak
ers were all men of position and influence.
it does not appear that they tried very hard
to avoid infaming the minds of their hearers
OF course they did not expect that a riot
would follow the meeting, but they did make
very strong protest against the evils which
the meeting was called to deliberate upon.
Perhaps there would have been riot if the
meeting had not been held, for it is evident
of
The affair is terrible one, but it will not
be devoid of usefulness if it results in i'm
provement in the criminal administration of
Cincinnati and warns the people of other
communities. That warning is needed is
very plain. The New York Herald puts it
strongly, though perhaps not too strongly,
when it says: In nine murder cases out of
ten the jury, IS is amply proved by expert
ence, is simply body organized in the inter-
est of criminals. At every stage, from the
summoning of the JURORS to the re ndering of
the verdict, the prisoner has advantag es and
from which the State is cut off.
In the Cincinnati trial, for instance, the de-
fence had five times as many peremptory
challenges as the prosecution, and
while the prosecutor stood alone during the
trial five of the best criminal lawyers at the
bar appeared for the prisoner. But making
every due allowance for all legitimate advan-
tages enjoyed by the accused and every undue
advantage which is secured for him by sharp
practice, cases are notoriously common in
which the jurors deliberately and wiIlfuIly
side with the prisoner out of sympathy with
him or through indifference to the claims of
society and acquit him against the evidence
and in violation of their oaths.
reform by riot is not very ereditabIe to
those engaged in it or to the community
where it breaks out. But it is sometimes very
effective. We imagine that il will be some
time before Cincinnati jury will give such
a rascally verdict as that given last week in
the Berner case.

A singular instance of kleptomania was
brought before the Criminal court In Paris
the other day. An Englishman and his wife,
the former aged sixty-seven and the latter
sixty-three, were arrested for stealing some
objects of trifing value at the Magasins du
Louvre. They live in the neighborhood of
Paris, and are in possession of an income
amply sufficient for all their requirements.
Both of them declared that the impulse to
appropriate the stolen article was Irresistible.
They were consequently sxsmined by physi-
clans, who gave their opinion that this state"
ment, extraordinary as it may appear, was
perfectly correct, as regards both the
husband and wife. The prisoners were in
consequence acquitted on the ground of ir-
responsibility for their actions.
A committee of the Philadelphia Bar asso-
citation is considering resolution submitted
by Richard Vaux, favoring the robing of the
judges of the Supreme court of Pennsylva-
mia. Mr.. Vaux argues in this way: We uni
form our policemen because il is said to give
them an appearance of authority. The letter
carriers all wear uniforms that they may be

our army and navy? Why, the clergy are
wearing gowns. The minister who goes to
market on Saturday to buy a fish is not
desired to come into the pulpit the next day
wearing the clothes he had on the day before.
The professors of colleges, too; wear gowns.
It is said to give to them a certain dignity.
They are looked upon as being wise men.
Then, why should not our judges of the Su-
prsne court wear gowns?
The Russian government has an immense
railroad project under consideration. The
author of the scheme calls it the Russian Pa
cifc line. The line would start from Ikater-
hamburg, join Tobolsk, Yeneseisk, and va
kutsk, ending in Nikolajew, with branch
line from Yeneseisk and Yakutsk to Kiakhta,
which would form a connection with the
Amoor and China. A second main line will
start from Astrachan to connect Herat, Per
sia, and India, with branch line to Bokhars
over Cashgar. The extent Of railroad would
be three thousand geographical miles, and
cost one thousand million ronbles. The
capital would be spread over twenty years.
One part of the proposal is to employ part of
the army on the works.

PIntrorm Women.

[Margaret LonsdAle, in Nineteenth Century,
The mental and moral condition which the
modern platform woman herself exhibits is
the surest proof of the mischief which public
speaking is working by her agency on the
community at large-the gradual hardening
of the countenance and of the external man
ner and address, indicating too surely the real
repression going on within of much that is
loyable and admirable in woman. No re-
pose, outwardly or mentally, is to be found
in her society; she produces strong impress
sion of unnaturalness and of living in antago-
nism with the world around her; an unfortu-
nate frame of mind which has to be fostered,
since her position is not yet, thank heaven,
by any means an assured one, and must De
struggled for and pursued under protest from
a large Sc elton of both sexes. Who does not

highly wrought, fastidious man or woman
speaks of those whose persons are continually
before the world, whose names are banded
about, whose principles are discussed in half
the drawing-rooms of London? THAT dread.
full woman is the mildest term applied to
them. Even the harder N atured part of the
community receives shocks from its public
speaking sisters occasionally with shrug of
the shoulders, and makes jokes at their ex-
pense. And the meaning of it all is that the
women who take up personally prominent
position in the world are distasteful to the
good SCI SO and refined feeling of the msjori-
ty, and therefore that female influence in the
world is degenerating. Their power may be
increasing (but that take leave still to doubt),
but in their proper sphere, a small, it may
be only home circle, their once all-powerful
influence is waning. Would NOT true width
of intellect, true largeness of heart and soul,
be shown by submitting to live in what seems
small spaee-by seeking to influence what
appear to be few men and women, to bring
up few children faithfully-by realizing
that a narrow sphere does not imply narrow
sympathy-that in fact s'the growing good
of the world is partly dependent on unhlstorlo
acts, and that things are not SO III with you
and me as they might have been is half owing
to the number who lived faithfully hidden
