A DESPERATE attempt was made
by Il mule thi"f to commit suicide at
Paris, Monroe county, one day last
week. The thief's name was Chatten.
and he had few days before stolen
q span OF mules, set of harness and
q wagon at Mt. Carmel, Ill. The
owner OF the animals, who was on
his track, telegraphed to Sheriff Sci
bert, OF Monroe county, at Paris, to
watch out for him. A short time af-
ter the telegram was received the
thief drove into town and was
promptly arrested by thesheriff. The
thief Immediately drew from his
pocket a vial full of the oil of vitriol
and swallowed the vial without tax
ing the cork out. His action was OBJ
servedby his captors, but too late to
prevent it. A physician was at once
sent for and an emetic administered.
The thief sOon commenced to vomit
and elected the vial and contents from
his stomache. He was lodged in jail
and will be returned to Illinois.

4 GREAT MANY ppople think n ney

A GREAT many people think a news
paper should have about Il page of
local news whether anything happens
or not. Deluded mortals! Local ed
itOrs cannot make people break their
necks, commit suicide or do any of
the exciting things that go to make
up the material out of which the local
reporter delights to weave para

no more than fair that those who
grumble at the lack of local news in
their paper should stop and think
whether they could not give the edi-

cultural reports show the average
production an acre of all the great
staples in the West to be larger in
Missouri than in either Illinois or
Kansas, and that, too, with acknowl-

QUEER story comes from New
Haven, Connecticut, to the effect that
by opening grave, evidence of
an unpaid note was found, involving
a prominent person who had denied
it's existence. When the case comes
into court the identy of the principal
will create sensation. The person
in question was the guardian of two
children, and became indebted to the
mother for $3.50, for which he gave
his note. The woman died seventeen
years ago, and he thereupon claimed
the note had been cancelled. Recent
ly relative remembered that the
note had been sewed in the lining of
the dress in which the woman was
buried. The grave was opened ard
the note was found. 1t was very
much faded, but in good enough con-
lition TO answer as evidence.

Our Criminal LdIrs.

The following article, replete with
good sense, is taken from recent is
sue of the Jefferson City Tribune and
is worthy of reproduction:
The press of Missouri has recently
been discussing with much earnest
ness our criminal laws and their exc
cution throughout the state. The
opinion is general that the laws are
too complicated, and that criminals
who are able to fight Justice are af-
forded too many loopholes of escape.
The Tribune has had something to
say on this subject from time to
time, and we have read with interest
and profit the opinions of Others, in
cluding some of the best lawyers in
the state. The opinion appears to
prevail that every session of the leg
islature makes matters worse. Grim
inal law is a subject that every mem
Der of the Legislature feels competent
to change and make better, and as II
result nearly every section is subject
to periodical changes, and only n
skillful criminal lawyer can keep up
with the various changes and rul-
ings. The laws are not made SO
plain that a jury can understand
them and the court is required to
interpret the law. This condition of
affairs has called for no little COM
ment.
Why is it that our criminal laws
must be so obscure that only a Judge
learned in law can interpret them
and yet the most ignorant are held
responsible for violation of the
same? There is one question that has
never been answered. Would it not
be better to make the laws plain, SO
that an intelligent jury, at least,
could interpret them? If there is
any good reason why criminal laws
should remain n mystery to persons
possessed of ordinary intelligence the
public should no longer be kept i'll
ignorance of it. The hands of n trial
Judge are usually tied in criminal
cases so that he has no room to
exercise his own Judgment. A COM
parison of the state and federal
courts in this respect will soon con-
vince one that it is better to give
the trial Judge more latitude, and
that in so doing innocent persons ac-
cuscd of crime do not surrender any
chance of acquittal.
Tie people are rapidly losing con-
fidence in the effectiveness of our
criminal laws, condition of public
sentiment which, however much it is
to be deplored, is abundantly iustifi,
ed by the facts.

The tariff is said to be the most
importane issue between the two old
parties. Concede this to be true, yet
there are other issues that willnot be
ignored, and the free coinage of sill
yer is one of them. The Democratic
party will never recede from the adj
vanccd position taken by the Demo
