WHERE THEY MAY LIE.

In case in New Jersey, where wit
ness admitted that he had perjured
himself in his evidence involving his
relations to woman being divorced,
the court stated that his falsity in such
matters would not affect his reliable
ity as witness. sit SEEMS" said
the judge, "to be according to the canon
to deny such things. Everybody does
it. Even the Prince of Wales did it,
and while the morality of such denial
can be questioned, it is so common as to
furnish no ground for all attack on
witness character" There is a popu-
lar canon that would uphold a denial
made for the protection of the repute Of
a woman, but that was not involved
in the New Jersey case. No doubt the
court was right in the fact that men as a
rule will deny such personal accusa-
tions, and the society code will not sug-
gest any intolerant disposition; but it is
something of novelty to have an apol-
Ogy come from the bench with the judi
cial opinion that lying in one matter
affords no presumption that unsullied
and immaculate truth may not be found
in other statements. 1t is pretty nearly
a license to witnesses to lie when their
own disparagement may come from the
truth

How it Affects Them.

Those who attach Importance to the
theory that crimes are promulgated
and repeated by familiarizing the mind
with the processes of their commission,
however revolving, find supporters in
the petitioners in England against al
lowing the public exhibition of wax
model of Mrs. Maybrick in the act of
administering poison. Among these
remonstrants are physicians, clergy
men. life insurance officers and other
careful observers, The ground of the
objection is that it demoralizes the
minds of those who witness 1t, and even
leads to imitation of the crime. Mothers
had become SO impressed that they
poisoned their children. No doubt
there are minds SO lacking in the
rational element that object lessons i'm
crime inclte rather than deter. 1t is
question how far it is prudent to make
spectacular the operations of crime. A
too rigid rule would cut off dramatic
tragedies.

MONDAY CHATTER.

One of the attorneys at Dubuque, who
has been among the most prominent in
the profession IN Iowa for a quarter of
century, died the past week. He was
generous liver and not good financier.
He made large sums. and spent them.
But he was thoughtful enough to carry
several large life policies. One of these
for $4,000 was in aConnecticut company
A number Of years ago that company
insisted upon canceling the policy on
account of his drinking habits, but he
refused the offer, and rendered the
premiums each year. A post mortem
examination shows that his death was
not due to alcoholic influences. and his
wife will sue for the $4,000. The case
seems to help out the theory that large
life insurance is essentially immoral in
tendency. inducing prodigality in liv-
ing, and disregard OF the sanitary
requisites for protracting existence.
The larger the insurance, the less likely
is tht party to live long, is the obSerya-
ton.

Lady Politicians.

The female voting in Kansas at the
municipal elections gave rise to good
many illustrative incidents, unless they
are the products of perverse and pre-
JUDGED imaginatiOns. In one the So
cial elite worked for disreputable
man to humiliate female candidate,
who had dared to aspire to equality
with them. In another city two society
ladies were candidates and were laid
out by their own colored cooks, females.
At Manhattan an ardent suffrage
woman had an old fogy husband who
was opposed to women going into poll
tics. Early in the day she handed the
infant twins to her husband to hold
just moment while she stepped to a
neighbours. He was hunted up by his
party friends late in the day, and found
with a twin on each knee about ready
to faint. The woman had put in the
day electioneering against her hus-
bands party. There is no doubt that
many of the ladies are capable of be-
coming successful politicians.

The petition from Massachusetts to

extension and perfection of the system,
was one of the most remarkable docu-

its signatures; not in the number, 1887,
but in their representative character.
The full autographs were there of the
Republican governor and other state
officials. and the Democratic candidates
who we're opposed to them. There were
all the senators of both parties, and
most of the representatives. The party
committees had the officers and nine
teen members of the Republican and
eighteen of the Democratic, with the
men of position and influence from both
parties in about equal numbers from ITO
towns. Massachusetts evidently be-
lieves in civil service reform, without
respect to party.
