against him as 1t would surely be when his
purpose became apparent as it would long
before the process could be completed. Be-
sides the consent of majority of the alder
men must be obtained to every removal and
appointment.
IT there is any danger in this direction it
is SO very slight as to be hardly worth con.
sidering. On the other hand there are some
very substantial advantages in this particu-
lar provision of the bill. Everybody knows
that man may be inefficient and yet it be
exceedingly difficult to show specifically in
what his ineficiency consists. But under
the present law this must be done before a
policeman can be removed for ineficiency.
1t may be morally certain that a po-
liceman is lacking in the energy necessary
to render him an efficient officer, and yet ut
terly impossible to prove it by legal testi-
mony. 1t may be clearly apparent to his su-
periors that he lacks tact and Judgment
to degree to render him inefficient and yet
impossible to show it by testimony In these
assumed cases the inefdciency is not of a
culpable kind, but its effect is none the less
detrimental
But the present law is conducive to culpa-
BILE ineficiency. A policeman can now be a
good deal lazier and good deal more mat
tentiye TO duty with impunity than he could
If be were liable TO be summarily removed by
his superiors. He realizes the difficulty of
proving laziness by testimony and, if he is
so disposed can take advantage OF it. Fur
thermore 1t is easy to see that in cases where
evidence of his ineficiency or even of his
corrupt practices really exists the present
law tends to suppress it, inasInuch as the
witnesses become known and are thus ex-
posed to persecution if they happen to be
violators of the law themselves, which is
frequently the case. 1t may be said that
testimony from such class is worthless
That is true, unless it can be corroborated,
but, as rule, this is the only class that are
knowing to corrupt practices on the part of
policemen and if we are going to furnish po-
licemen the means of stopping their mouths
corrupt men can maintain themselves on the
force indefinitely.

The verdict in the Libby case is undoubt-

whether the sober and sedate mind necessa-

essential feature of murder in the first de-

to the benefit of that doubt. The claim
which the prisoner set up that the crime
was committed in moment of delrium re-

Ant Dill approprlatlng S0UUU yearly Tor es-
tabllshing and conducting an agricultural
experiment station in Maine seems TO have
stirred the Senate to its lowest depths.
Judging from the speeches OF the honorable
Senators on the subject the dangers of pass
ing and of rejecting the measure are both
appalling and calculated to quail the stout
est heart. "Let as remember" exclaimed
the leader of the opposition, who opposed
the bill on the ground that it would impose
grevous burden on the people, s'that OPP
preston and unjust taxation cost Charles the
First his head and George the Third the
brightest jewel in his crown" ssDeteriora-
ton of the soil in ASIA" replies friend of
the bill, who does not intend to be outdone
In striking terror, "has depopulated that
country by millions; millions have died of
starvation because of the Impeachment of
the soil" The friends of the bill undoubt-
eddy have Its enemies on the hip. It is Bet
ter that one man should lose his head than
that millions should die of starvation, and
therefore on this argument alone the decis-
ion ought to be in favor of the appropriation.
But, seriously, all this sort of talk, and
there was considerable of it, was entirely
uncalled for, aud the veriest buucombe If
the bill passes there will be no revolution,
either by the bullet or by the ballot,
and If 1t is killed nobody will starve to death
this year or next Or in years to come 10 con-
sequence of it. When two or three prac-
tical questions are answered there
will be no difficulty in arriving at
a correct conclusion in regard to
the matter. The first is, Are agricul-
tural experiment stations of utility? If
conducted by competent men and continued
long enough there seems to be no reasonable
doubt that they are. The second is Can
the people of the State afford to pay for
ones This is really the chief question for
the legislature to decide. An agricultural
station is not indispensable to the welfare
OF anybody. Farmers have got along toler-
ably well without one up to this time and if
one is not established there will be no suf-
fering in consequence. Still station bids fair
to be of great assistance to the farmers, and it
would be we'll to look around and see if
there are not many less promising things
receiving appropriations before killing it
with the cry of economy.
