Criminal Law.

The administration Of the criminal
laws of this country has ever been
faulty and wrong, in our judgment.
1t is shame, pretense an illogical
and unreasonable thing to do, to make
attornies semi-official officers of the
courts and at the same time permit
them to become the pa1c..,,ia cham
pions of hardened, notorious and con-
fessed criminals. And because of the
money paid them these officers co of
the courts connive at-not that alone
but to procure the offender to go I'M
whipped of justice and they are thus
instrumental in turning har-
dened criminals, red handed
murderers and robbers loose upon
an innocent community. This
surely not be the province of officers
of our courts. Nor, indeed, should it
be any part of the purpose in life of a
good citizen OF any sort. There is
something radically wrong in this sort
of thing, and the existence of the
wrong is dangerous; that it is pres
singly so, witness the terrific outbreak
at Cincinnati the other day. Around
the courts of that great city was con-
gregated nest of able, bold and skill
full men, lawyers of the highest at
tainments engaged not in seeing the
laws administered not in furnishing
crime, but in shielding offenders from
the consequences of their bad acts.
The same state of things exists to
certain degree at every courthouse in
America; the difference is only in the
amount of crime and the population
under the jurisdiction of the courts.
So many and so fragrant were the in
stances of criminals going unwhipped |
OF justice. that at last the outbreak |
came. 1t was only lawless and IN
defensible outbreak in and of itself,
but the provocation was immense III
can never excuse the outbreak, but at |

Unfair Rivalry.

Competition is the life of trade. Fair
competition, and rivalry upon a proper
basis hurts no legitimate business en-
terprise, and no legitimate business
man will object to it. The Posts tao
tics, with regard to the News, in re-
porting its practical insolvency when
there is not and was not the slightest
cause for it, nor the slightest founda-
ton upon which to base the damaging
statement, is beyond question, themost
inexcusable piece of newspaper pirat-
ing we have ever heard of. Nor did
we before know that such thing was
possible, and we trust for the
sake of tie profession of which
we are an humble working member,
that it can make seme showing at an
explanation which will lift from its
shoulders the odium which should rest
there until it does.
The Post is a good newspaper in the
main. 1t deserves success, because all
intelligent and hard working forces
should succeed. but if the matter con-
tanned in its columns is generally as
unfrank and untruthful as this charge
was, it can never hope to climb to a
decent rivalry with its great competi-
tor. The News has been ruthless in
many respects, and has trampled other
and weaker enterprises under foot
often, but that does not make
it proper, nor does it excuse
the Post for going a toss
beyond it, The fact is, these two
great papers are located too close to-
gether- suns in the same heav-
ens"-and one or the other must event
ually succumb. Which will it be?
We are frank to confess that we would
not toss penny for the choice be.
tween the two. Nor would the peo-
pie either, but such a raid as this of
the Posts will go far toward changing
an Indifferent public into an active
partisan against it. The mass Of peo-
pie are both honest and fair in their
instincts. In Texas. especially, is IN
fairness and persecution intensely
hated. Men cannot tolerate anything
like this
Our interest in all of it is to endeav-
or to to raise the profession above
such modes. They are unworthy of
journalism. If the Post can, in the
domain of legitimate effort, beat the
News We will rejoice, but we tell it
frankly that should it do so by I'M
worthy means the victory will not be
worth a cent to it. 1t will turn to
ashes on its lips. The News has had
small mercy upon its weaker rivals
but we have meyer yet detected it in
using such means to win advantage.
Nor do we believe it would do so.

Marion Martin.

The News of yesterday morning IN
terviews the Hon, Marion Martin, lieu
tenant governor of Texas, and 'drags
from that gentleman some very aston
ishing facts, among others, that he
never yet refused an Office, and also
that he would accept the nomination
for governor if it was rendered him
by the democratic party. This mai
vette in an old grey head of fifty-four
years is as refreshing in politics
as bunch of violets would be in the
middle of the great Sahara. But Mr..
Martin cannot accept a reelection if
Mr.. Ireland is at the head of the ticket,
because he does not and cannot en-
dorse the policy of the administration.
To say the very least of it Mr.. Martin
is very frank, frank, indeed, to manly
degree. This outspokenness is very
charming, and as rare as charming,
and fair example for younger politi-
clans. Governor Martin thinks Gov
ernor Ireland's course has fostered
fence-cutting, and for that reason he
cannot support him, especially as he
regards himself in some way as the
representative of the farming classes
of the state. All in all, while little
tonguey and prolix, yet the interview
is one of those clear cut expressions
which sounds very much as a bugle
blast of coming war.

Songs Never Sung.

Messrs. HIsCox & Co. call especial attention
to the fact that after April 16, 1888, the name
and style of this preparation will hereafter be

the same time it clearly indicates the
pressing necessity for reform in this
way.
Some standard of moral excellence
must be erected as well as the techni-
cal standard already existing, and the
men admitted to practice in our courts
of justice must be above the business
of shielding and protecting outbreak
ing violators of the law for the money
they can make OUT of them. AS the
standard of ability and intelligence of
the bar is raised, so will be increased
the present immunity for crime, and
its volume swelled accordingly.
When two such results attend the Gle
walton of the legal standard so far as
mere ability goes, we may be perfectly
sure that the1e is wrong, dire and
fearful wrong somewhere. Let our
Lawmakers set about the task of find
ing a remedy, even if when found it
cuts off the number and destroys en-
tirely the revenues of the criminal
practitioners. A public prosecutor is
provided ~ law. Why not a public
defender? Let the state pay both,
and let no financial result depend up
on the contingent of conviction or &C
quittal. But let these officers hold
tenure only upon the skillfulness with
which they discharge their duties.
This would tend to destroy the
power of the criminal lawyers
and many a red-handed ruffian who
is at large now busy at murder and
robbery, and in poisoning the minds
of the young, would be instead, atom
ng to an outraged public for violating
its laws.
In Texas we need some such modi-
fication of the system of criminal
practice as this fully as bad as they do
In Ohio, and in the light of the burn
ing temple of justice of that great
city, our lawmakers cannot set about
the task of formulating a system a
moment too soon.

They cut or burn their hands, sprain
their ankles, crush or hurt themselves

ensues, and frequently the consequent
