The study of law results in the most
opposite tendencies. 1t has broadening
and narrowing influence. The ordl-
nary layman is often astonished by the
hair splitting of legal luminaries on a
point in which the exercise of good COM
mon sense would more certainly lead to
justice. There is perhaps nothing in the
line of legal inquiry more ludicrous than
the inquiry as to who died first in gen.
eeral catastrophe when the line of sue
cession in the descent of property is
broken by the simultaneous death OF the
direct line of inheritors. Common sense
would dictate that all died together, and
such being the case the title to the pro-
perty was IN the person who acquired it,
and it should pass from him to his i'm
mediate relatives, 1t may be good law
to question closely the possibilities as to
which person expired first, death being
practically simultaneous for all. But it
does seem nonsensical in view of the fact
that under the circumstances no thought
of the descent of the property could en-
ter the minds of those dying together.
The law is good deal of humbug
when its principles are applied to cir
cumstances wholly outside its province.

The London Times is placed in a most
ridiculous position by the complete COL
lapse OF its charge against Parnell.
Pigott, the scoundrel, was SO completely
COMPOUNDED by being confronted with
letters o. his own, admitting the fraudu-
lent character OF the Parnell letters, that
practically confessed the whole scheme.
When the letters appeared he wrote
Archbishop Walsh offering to expose
their fraudulent character if he was paid
for 1t. He had marked these letters con
idential" and supposed they would not
be brought into court. When letter after
letter which he had written for the pur-
pose of selling secrets to anybody and
everybody were brought in, the scoun-
drel became so puzzled that he was hard
ly able to talk.
But how is it with The London Times
which stopped to the employment of this
dirty forger to make it appear that Par
nell was prlvy to the political murders
which were committed? Was the Times
really deceived by Plgott or was it con-
spiraey to which The Times was a party?
The English government should now
prosecute The Times.

The legislature should order some in
vestlgation of the charges made by Mr.
Welles of Appleton relative to the diver
sion of the state school fund. Mr.. Welles
may be wrong, but the people do not
know that. Evidently he has made as
thorough an investigation as his oppor.
tunities allowed, and he has given the re.
suit of his inquiries. 1t is an easy mat
ter to disprove his statements if they
have no foundation in fact. They should
be disproved if it is possible. II not, the
corruption should be unearthed. If the
officers who can do SO do not voluntarily
they should be required to do 80 by reso-
luton of the legislature

PIGoTT is the man who procured the
letters for the London Times upon which
were based the articles headed 'Parnell-
ism and Crime" Pigott claims to have
come in possession of the letters in
France, where they were found in bag
He paid good price for them and re-
The unprincipled scoundrel had adj
mitted to several people that the letters
where not genuine. It seems that he Is
an accomplished forger himself and as he
had good offer from The Times for any
letters duplicating Parnell he took the
readiest means of providing them. His
testimony reads like a tissue OF false
hoods as no doubt it is.

SINCE Mr.. Small the negro candidate
for congress was counted out by the
democratic house, he is described as a
man of most unusual powers. BY acct
dent the writer formed the acquaintance
OF Mr.. Small some years ago when he
was congressman from South Carolina.
The only matter of surprise then was
how any class of people could send to
congress person so thoroughly an ami
NAL and so devoid of intelligence. Prob
ably since he became political martyr
he might have climbed up in the social
scale, but the impression left is that the
distance he had to climb was too great
Tor any ordinary man to accomplish.

brought Randall to the front, and he is
now anxious to assume the leadership OF

prominence. Randall's assumption should
be instantly discountenanced. The part.

THERE is quite demand throughout
Great Britain that the English govern
ment resign in view of the discreditable
collapse of the Parnell trial. The gov
eminent took up the case OF The Times;
the attorney-general prosecuted; the
commission was made as unfavorable ID
its personnel as..possible; the government
practically pledged itself to prove the
genuineness Of the Parnell letters, and
before the defense offers bit OF evidence
it is proved conclusively that tho case
against Parnell rests solely on the testi
mony OF a hired forger and perjurer
How can the tory government sustain
itself under such load of infamy.

1t is surprising to what extent the
politicians are willing to go in order to
2Oc per pushed on imported wheat while
the.chief expectations OF this country are
wheat and breadstuffs. Then the depart

dignity of cabinet position to provide
some place for an active politician. But
the farmer will feel grateful that some
active worker in the field of politics is
honored by being placed at the head of
the agricultural department.

OSE of the prandest addresses ever

ONE of the grandest addresses ever de-
livered to e1-soldiers was that Of General
Cox before the Union Club of Chicago
| on Washington's birthday. Coming
from soldier it's force is greatly en-
HANGED. He called attention to Wash
services, feeling that his share of the
liberty his sword aided in winning for
the people was the proper compensation.
The pension agents, General Cox de-
scribed as the auctioneers and the poll
ticians the bidders for the soldiers votes.
The soldier who asks to be rewarded for
his services to his country deprives these
services of merit. There ia no glory or
patriotism in services whose money value
has been received. He says it is unre-
publican to ask that any class OF citizens
as a class, and simply because they are a
class shall be saved from the ordinary
casualties and chances Of life" He de-
scribes this as the essence and soul Of
aristocracy." He traces these demands
TO the false ideas inculcated by politi-
clans seeking the soldiers vote.
There is no denying that the demand
for special privileges the last few years
has done much to belittle the estimation
in which the soldiers has been held. The
placing OF money value upon the SER
vices rendered and the arrogant assump-
ton that the country which they saved
is theirs, have been sore humiliation TO
the deserving soldiers who are not in
season and out Of season preaching OF
their services. The politicians are to
blame and If reaction is now setting in
which may vibrate to the opposite e1-
treme, those soldiers who became the
tools of the politicians are to blame.
There IS no man not inclined to honor
those who served the country in its need.
But the constant braggart and the per-
son who trades upon these services soon
csncels these obligations. IF the soldiers
will follow the advice of General Cox
they viii have no reason to complain of
the lngratitude of their country.
