Criminal Lawyers.

The Ohio STATE Journal contains the fol,
lowing sensible remarks concerning "crim-
inal lawyers" which are worthy OF con-
sideratlon:
"If an ordinary citizen aids confessed
and indicted murderer to escape from
prison by supplying him with false keys
or other appliances, he becomes male
factor himself, and il amenable TO pun
ishment, but II an attorney, by fixing n
jury suborning witnesses, or through legal
leclinicalities accemplisl,es the same thing
he at once becomes "A great criminal law

doubtless result in n clearer understanding
Of these things and in muchneeded re-
form"

cure the acquitIai Of men who are clearly
guilty OF Outrageous crimes. When they
become 40 devoted 10 the interests OF great
criminals as TO lose sight OF the higher
duty they owe TO society, they ally them
selves with The criminal classes, and should
be treated accordingly
"Tbe mission OF the great criminal law

Two Journalists OH Kissing.

The Douglas Jerrold of Yonkers pa
per having stated for the entertainment of
mankind that "the reason kissing is so
pleasant is because the teeth, j,w bones
aud lips are fun of nerves, and when the
lips of persons meet an electric current is
generated" The Richard Brnscley Sheri.
dan OF Peck's Sun, remarka:. Yes, and
IT'S so confounded cheap. You don't have
to have dynamo-mnchine, nor battery
in the house, nor call box, nor buttor
TO touch to ring up the central office, and
there is no patent on it, and the poores
person in the world can enjoy the electric
current hetter than the millionaire, and i
never gets on, of order. II Edison ha'
invented kissing, it would cost 500 yea
like the telephone, and then extra kissing

The people OF Mt Clemens, Mich have
established precedent which IL followed
as il ought to be, would put nm end to
river and barber appropriation steals. A
tortuous little stream, the Clinton river,
affords the town water communication
with lake St.. Clair and the great lake sys-
tenn, but beyond an occasional scow and a
little steamer engaged IN local traffic, the
waters of the stream are undisturbed by
commerce. For several years the inhabi-
tants of the village have made strenuous
exerlions to get congressional appropria.
tion to dredge the river. They wanted
S250o0 for the purpose, but were willing
TO take SIS 1000. For some reason not yet
made clear their efforts failed, and ne craft
drawing more than six feet of water was
able to cross the numerous bars. But the
people were enlerprislng, and nine feet o
water they were bound to have. If Con-
gress wouldn't do the work for them the
