Public Defenders.

Many innocent persons have experienced
the hard fate which compelled them to
employ lawyers, secure bondsmen, and
establish in court their innocence OF
charges totally unfounded. In the Wo-
mans National Liberal Union, which was
in session in Washington on Tuesday MT
WILLIAM +. ALDKIcH presented some oo-
servations on Public Defenders" lie
said
"No ono can read the accounts of the
trials in the courts without feeling that no
provision has been made for adequate de;
fence. Let an American citizen be accused
abroad of an offence, and the power OF the
Government is called into action 70 redress
on afTront TO an American citizen; Inc
country has been lDSultod. But let an
American citizen be accused IN court IN
his own country, and he Will find the entire
machinery of the court arraYed against
him-the State, tho judge. the Jury, every
thing-until he has proven ms innocence.
1.-The speaker advocated the employment
OF set OF officers TO be called public de
Tenders. Courts are 10 dispense justice,
but II is a practical impOssl blilty 70 ms
pense Justice unless both sides are heard
No one knows how soon he may be ac-
cused and mt in place where he will find
millions for prosecution and not one cent
for defence. The association, he said, was
willing TO give $1,000 10 he added TO
800 600, TO be used for making practical
trial in five cities of such remedy as sug-
gested.
Mrs. Clara Foltz, the female lawyer
from California. followed in a recital OF her
experiences in Injustice to accused persons
in that State. She warmly Endorsed Dir.
Aldrich's remarks. That there should be
public defenders is eminenty gust ana
proper. That a citizen should bearTalgned
bv the grand jury with thousands OF dol
lars behind its back, while the poor man
NAV not have dollar, is an appalling
truth"
We once knew q man TO be arrested and
tried for burning to death his motber-in-
law. He was acquitted as soon as the evil
dence had been heard and without q dis
senting voice. But the poor fellow never
outlived the recollection OF the outrageous
charge which he had TO meet. Wethought
then that his lawyers fee ought to have
been paid by the Commonwealth.

Good News.

Commenting upon an article which ap-
peared in this paper few days ago, the
Charleston CIV. Va Gazette says:
The Dispatch is in error as 10 both le-
gislstive branches being Democratic. The
Senate is Republican by very slight ma
jority, else the ballot-reform bill would
by this time have become a law, and the
Legislature would not now be in session.
In other respects we endorse as true
what the Dispatch has said. We are not
going 10 permit fraud TO carry the elections
in this State while there is left any posi-
bility Of preventing il.
West Virginia can prosper only whileit
y O Democratic State. The people have
had Gil they want Of Repubhcanism
In times past, aud the display of the
cloven-foot 80 recently made by that des-
perste organization. is a sufficient reason
Tor keeping II out Of the control OF our
States affairs. We have as the head Of the
Democratic party by virtue of his position
3 Governor who IL q true-blue Democrat,
whose aim we feel sure will be to heal all
troublesome factions that have heretofore
contributed 10 much 70 the reduction Of
Democratic majorities in this State; and

Chicago VIII Be Ready.

Tho disappointed advocates of other
places than Chicago as the site Of the
Worlds Fair of 1892 are some of them mean
enough and angry enough to attempt to
cheat that city out of the fair even after
the overwhelming vote of the House of
Representatives in her favor. They de-
clare that the question is not yet settled;
that the Senate has yet to act upon the
fair bill; that ii is doubtful whether there
will DO time enough between now and 1892
for Chicago to produce such an exposition
as the world expects. This last reason for
opposing the selection Of Chicago ignores
entirely the history of the wonderful
"LAke City," The Denver Times disposes
of il as follows:
"The Chicago people have made no
complaint OF a lack of time. They are not
Ia the habit Of making such complaint in
any case. They are indeed accustomed to
working so rapidly that they naturally
think they can bring about almost any,
thing in two wears. II the fair be given TO
them they will go about the work of pre-
paration with the idea Of completing 1t i'll
time. And they will do so, as the people
generally accomplish what they expect TO-
II we are 10 judge from the spirit and dts
position respectively manifested bv the
two cities We can safely predict that Chi
cago would have the exposition buildings
half completed while New York was bag
Cling about the cost OF site"
True to dot. Let nobody doubt that
Chicago will be ready and waiting for visi-
tors at the earliest period in 1892 that may
be selected as the proper time for opening
tho Worlds Fair. New York deserves the
fling which the Denver Times has made at
her. She allowed politics to be mixed up
with Nations Exposition. She permitted
Boss PLArr TO attempt to run the fair as
no runs the New York Republican ma
chine. He induced her TO play an unfair
game and she lost.
