THE minister of one of our city churches,
in speaking yesterday of the technicalites in
court procedure, whereby justice and iudg-
ment were made a mockery and delusion,
said that lawyers could now take the little
end of nothing, punch out the pith from a
hair, and draw criminal through the tech
nical cavity. The figure is a strong one, and
not particularly chaste or elegant; but its
truth and force more than atone for whatever
it may lack in dignity. But it is to be noted
that, under the force of a public sentiment
backed by an honest and earnest press, much
of the senseless frippery that has paralyzed
the law or made it the actual servant of evil
is being brushed away

The lesson in the case of Mr.. Charles For
ster, appointed consul to Elberfeld, and who
it appears, was not properly qualified to take
the oath Of Office, is, that it is a good thing
for ali foreign-born residents to become citi-
zens of the United States, actually as we'll as
nominally, as soon as they can. Possibly, if
native-born held their citizenship in higher
esteem than they do, it would be magni6ed
in the eyes of the foreign born who come
here to escape the rigors Of European systems
All that tends to elevate the estimate of citi-
zenship is to be encouraged; all that tends to
belittle and to degrade it is to be avoided and
overcome

ing article upon advertising as follows:
advertising is not only business prob
lem, but it is a science. 1t is easy to spend
much in advertising and get little IN return,
but each year weeds out more and more of the
advertising CLAIMS, and just as they are weeded
out business improves. Advertisements should
be as fresh and as attractive as any part of a
newspaper. The hum drum, regulation clam
advertisement is rejected by the reader at a
glance, and clam advertisements are nearly as
bad for live newspaper as they are for the
foolish advertiser. They are nuisance to
publisher and reader and waste on the
part of the advertiser. They belong to the
past, and that is enough. The clam of to-day
is the same clam of the last generation, and
life is too short and intelligence too progress
i've to pause and parley with him, but the
business man who has articles to sell, who
knows the needs of the public and supplies
them. and who knows when and how to adj
vertise them, multiplies his business and
profits just as he multiplies his advertising
and he never wearies or disgusts readers by
stale methods or clam repetitions. Legiti-
mate advertising has, in this age of universal
newspapers, become the key to business sue
cess and fortune, and only the clam refuses to
understand it. The world moves the clam
stays, and those who move with the world are
the successful men of the present and fu-
ture."
