of blue coats had their guns pointed at

they kept him in the came position, his
only protection beng small weed

stopped. At the expiration of that
time one of the policemen "skid ded"
under lumber pile, and the last Hogle
saw of him he was there yet. The
others broke and ran. Later in tte
day Hogle was adjudged insane and
sent to the county jail for safe keeping.

THE cADrs woNDRoUs WISDOM.


An Oriental Story with q Decidedly Amer
lean Flavor,
Many years ago, says the Philadelphia
Times, there lived in an Eastern land a
man who was prominent and thought
to be rich. When he died, however, it
was found his possessions were very
slight indeed. In his will, among some
trifling lcgacies, was the following:
"Of the three young men who con-
slider themselves my children, have
just claim to one alone. The others are
not of my blood, but adopted. 1 will
not say who the rightful heir is, but
have left the matter to the decision of
the Cadi. In his possession is one thou
sand pieces of gold, which will be given
to my true child after he has proved his
claim"
The three reputcd sons at once rc-
paired to the Cadi. He thcreupon handed
each OF them Il gold ring, saying:
Take this ring and go about in the
world and seek your fortunes. Use the
jewel as taliSnan, watch over it, pre-
serve it, and after three years return to
me. / will then announce who is the
true son of his father and deliver to
The boys at once withdrew and dis
appeared in different directions amid
the crowded haunts of men. They
never crossed each others path nor
heard of one another, but at the APP
pointed time again made their appear
ance before the Cadi for veal or woe.
"'Wherc is your ring?" he asked of the
first and eldest.
The gold band was handed to the
judge with the remark: at is here.
1t has brought me luck. / have had
good worldly fortune, and all goes well
with me-"
Then was questioned the second.
Here is my ring" He opened his
cloak and showed it, bound round his
neck by silk ribbon. Fortune has
followed my every footstep, 1t has been
a continual blessing"
At last the Cadi turned to the
youngest.
well, and where is your ring?" The
boy was silent. \ blush stole DER his
face and his eyes fell to the earth.
Then, after a struggle, he managed to
say:
II haven't got it. I've pawned it."
y The Cadi, handing him over the thou
sand pieces of gold, cried:
The money is yours! By your dis
posal Of the ring I recognize that you
are really your fathers son.

INTEGRITY OF THE LAW,
Lawyer Tells Why Prisoners Are AL
ways Worthy of Defense.

ways worthy OF Defense.
George Shiras, Jr., is an attorney of
long experience at the Allegheny
County Bar and one of the most pro-
found members of the profession. He
said the other day to a Pittsburgh Dis
patch reporter:
1t is chiefly important in criminaI
cases to notice the presumption of the
law that no man should be regarded
as guilty until SO found. 1t is supposed
to be from the theory of law that no
innocent man be found guilty. 1t is
important that on the part of the per-
son charged with crime there should
be entire freedom of disclosure to his
counsel, and if IL were then permitted
for the lawyer to refuse to defend the
person, nc would then be exercising the
functions OF court and jury in SO pro-
nouncinG the man guilty. If the in
dividual should reveal his guilt, it
would still be the lawyers duty to give
him the benefit of the law, and of all
such defenSes as under the law can be
made.
This must be done to maintain the
law in its integrity as a protection to
N'N''>N''' "AiJ oiiS Vi "liOln dU any
time be charged with crime. This is of
greater Importance than the fate of a
single delinquent.
Civil cases arc in nature quite differ
ent. In them no lawyer of rcpute, or
one who is entitled to confidence, will
take case either for plaintiff or de-
PENDANT where the cause of such client
is based in dishonesty or moral
turpitude. But it may be, and often -,
the duty Of the lawyer to advocate th,zt
side of legal question which he feels
to be the wrong one, or rather in which
he believes the law to be against his
clients. But this, again, is in order
that IN case Of dispute the decision NAV
he made by the established tribunals
and not by lawyer in his private
capacity. Courts sometimes change
their decisions on even important
questions, and while the lawyer may
well advise against ill-founded litigH-
ton it may yet frequently be his duty
to fight in Il losing cause"

A WEAK DEFENSE.
Cap. Palmer Yields the Brush.

1t must be gratifying to the Elko
delegation to the Fifteenth Session of
the Nevada Legislature to know that
there is oven one taxpayer in the
county who is willing to go into print
in their defense. John A. Palmer, in
this mornings Free Press, eulogizes
our recent delegation by asserting
that they, sin the opinion Of all can
did thinking men did more for the
interests Of the county than any one
previous;" but unfortunately for the
said delegation large majority nf the
people Of the county do not look
through Cap. Paimer's specs.
According to Mr.. PalmCr's theory,
admitting for the sake of argument
that those he names favor the meas
ure, the 896 taxpayers of the county, a
majority of whose very existence de-
ponds on close economy, should be
willing to stand an increase of their
taxes and general depression of
their business to accommodate and
contribute to the wealth of six cor
porations because, forsooth, these six
pay as much in taxes as the 896 who.
according to the Captains theory,
have no rights which wealthy corpo-
rations are bound to respect. But in
order that our readers may properly
estimate the value of Cap. Palmer's
"Facts and Figures" we herewith
by permission of the Chairman Of the
Board, give an extract from a letter
written by Geo. w. Grayson 10 the
Board Of County Commissioner, under
date of April 81, 1891, in which he
says:
"GENTLEMEN:-The resolutions in
relation to the intention of contest
ing the issue of bonds in aid of Rail
road construction in Elko county,
Nevada, adopted by your Honorable
Board April +, 1891, have reached me.
As taxpayer il your county l most
heartily concur in your resolutions"
Ii the Captains information and
belief" as to other matters contained
In his open letter to the Commission
ers is as much at fault as his reference
TO Mr.. Grayson, we would suggest
that revision of his Figures" could
be made with profit to himself and in
accordance with the real facts" in
the case.
But will the Captain be honest
~ enough to explain why he favors tho
measure? Why he is in favor of a
bill which had 10 be drawn with the
utmost skill in order to evado plain
provision Of The Constitution? Why
he is in favor Of exempting corpo-
ration from taxation for twenty live
years, while the bone and sinew OF
the county, those who have borne
'the heat and burden of the day" are
compelled to contribute to the SUD-
port of the county government? If
the Captain will come out boldly and
say he favors the Railroad because
tho building thereof will help Carlin,
wo will cheerfully admit his plea; but
before he attempts to make it appear
that a majority Of the people favor
tho measure, we would suggest that
he take trip through the various in
habited regions of the county and
ascertain just what the people think
OF the proposition. This would con
vince him that Carlin is not all of
Elko county, and that his little in
dorsement of the Railroad scheme,
signed by seventy eight PAYERS
of Carlin, 'Winnemucca, etc, reflects
no great credit on our legislators.
