Justic > if Not Law.

The western police justice admitted that he
| didn't know much about law, says the Chicago
! Tribune, but he thought he knew as much about
| justice as any one who ever sat on the supreme
| bench So he looked wise when the big brute
was brought in. and he looked solemn when the
| little woman with bandage over her eye, cut
| on her cheek and big bruise on her neck ad-
mitted that her husband did strike her, but
| said that he was always good to her when he
was SOBER which wasn't often.
But don't want him fined, judge" she said,
earnestly. Just make him promise not TO do
| It again"
! The justice looked over some old law books
! hemmed and hawed little and then said with
all due dignity:
THE court cannot find that the law ade-
! quately provides for cases of this description.
AS my friend Blackstone once said, there are
cases In which the presiding judge must lay
legal lore aside ana trust to his own discretion
and common sense"
The justice left the bench and approached the
! prisoner.
Prisoner at the bar" he said. 'if you were
guilty Of larceny this court would fine you S2l,
but 1t is the understanding of the court from
the evidence that you struck your wife,
The prisoner staggered up against the table
as the Justices fist landed on his left eye.
IF you were Just drunk and disorderly, ="
continued the justice this court would send
you up for ten days, but two witnesses swear
that they saw you hit your wife with your
clenche1 fist"
The prisoner landed in a heap on the floor and
lay there whining
IF you had thrown a rock through some
body's window" continued the justice, this
court would make it $40 and costs, but there is
incontrovertible evidence that you kicked your
wife"
The prisoner yelled SO that he could be heard
four blocks as the Justices boot landed on his
ribs.
Then the Justice assembled the bench again,
and after brushing the toe of his boot with his
handkerchief solemnly said:
cit is the finding of this court in full session
assembled, after fully studying the law in the
case and looking up the rulings of the supreme
court aud the new circuit court of appeals, that
there is only one way to punish a wife beater
without Furnishing the wife. The prisoner is
discharged. And, madam" to the wife, eff he
ever does.it again bring him here and I'll dis
charge him again"
Then, as thought flashed across his mind, he
called out:
Are there any more wife heaters in the pris-
oners' box? Id like to dispose of all such cases
before taking up the minor crimes of arson,
horse stealing highway robbery, etc.

Something That Might Have Been Dis
covered in Edgar a. Poe's Writings.
From the Bradford Era.
1t was only few short years ago.
At a hotel by the sea,
That maiden l met whom you may know
By the name of Sallie McGee.
fell in love and she fell in love,
At this hotel by the sea,
And we bathed every day in the salt sea spray
1 and my Sallie McGee.
That Sallie was Just as sweet as peach
Most any blind man could see;
And this was the reason that all and each
Were gazing at Sallie McGee-
So that a dude from Boston came
And took her away from me.
was In love and she was in love,
AT this hotel by tine sea;
Sallie was stuck on the Boston duck,
And on Sallie MCGEE.
But my love was stronger by far than the love
OF the dude from the Hub could be;
And neither the angels in heaven above
Nor the dandies down their by the sea
Could ever discover my soul from the soul
Of my sweet little Sallie McGee
so hit him Spat with base ball bat,
Which made him afraid of me;
And he never bothered me after that
At the hotel by the sea.

The Southern Alliance Farmer isn't
pleased with the MORNING NEWS. and it
goes out Of its way to give vent
to its malice. This is not surprising. Being
unapprecieted and in a rnoribund condition
it naturally feels spiteful toward appre-
ciated aud prosperous contemporaries.
Only recently its fate was IN doubt. it is
the alliance organ, and yet alliancemen
don't want it. And for the very good rea-
son that there is nothing in it that inter ests
them or anybody else. It is claimed there
are 50 900 alliancemen 60 the state, and yet
only few weeks ago it was admitted the
organ wasn't paying expenses. Why
should alliancemen want an organ that tells
them that Lycurgus was q Roman law

His Sober Second Thought.

Lieut.. Gov. Jones, of New York, has de-
cided not to be an Independent candidate
for governor OF that state. This decision is
due to the second sober thought and the
knowledge that nobody cared much whether
he was an independent candidate or not.
He found out that il he should be candi-
date he wouldn't get enough votes to sooth
his wounded vanity.
Jones thought he carried the votes of the
farmers in his pocket. Why he thought so
nobody has ever been able to find out. He
never did anything for the farmers. 1t is
true he boosted of what he would do if he
should have a chance, but the farmers were
too wide awake to be misled by Jones'
promises.
The fact is, Jones is chronic kicker.
When he was republican he got mad be-
cause he was not given an Office that he
wanted, and to spite the Republican party
he Joined the Democratic party. The demo-
Gratis made him lieutenant governor and
he ought to have been satisfied, but he wasn't.
And he threatened that if he wasn't noni-
mated for governor ne would bolt the party
and run as au independent That settled
Jones' political prospect so far as the Demo-
crat party is concerned.
II wouldn't be surprising If he should be-
come candidate for the presidential nomi-
nation Of the Peoples party. If Col. Polk
is wise he will keep an eye on him.

refrain from any damaging censureS

New York has another uncannv sensa~
ton. People living in the neighborhood Of
First avenue and Eighteenth street are ex-
cited over an alleged ghost that appears in
the building undergoing repairs at the south
west corner of those streets. 1t is a four
story tenement. About two weeks ago the
owner started in to renovate the place.
Since that time it is claimed that a woman
in white appears on the ruins of the build
ings about 10 O'Clock each night with babe
in her arms. Spectators say that she tears
the body of the child apart and throws it to
the wind. Since that began 80 many peo-
pie have gathered about the building that
the police were needed. Every one on the
scene claimed that the ghost had appeared
plainly. More likely it is the gruesome
prank Of some practical joker with magic
lantern. But it will probably have the
effect Of making great many old sosks
conclude TO stay at home o. nights for a time.
Chicago now has a beer war on. Doubt
less all Of the political vets viii enlist under
the hop banner. and equally without doubt
many an old timer will be doWned in the
conflict.
