HE HID BEEN IN PRISON.

A case was on trial in a Kentucky
courtroom. An old man of somewhat
disreputable appearance had just
given important testimony ard the
lawyer whose cause suffered by his
statements strove in every way to
confuse and trip him but in vain. The
witness stuck to his story and did not
lose his temper, in spite of the irritat-
ing manner in which the cross-exami-
nation was conducted.
Finally, in the hope of breaking
down the credibility of the witness,
the lawyer at u venture asked:
Have you ever been in prisonf'
II have" replied the witness.
"Ah - exclaimed the attorney, with
triumphant glance at the jury II
thought as much. May inquire how
long you were there p
1.-Two years and three months" an
swered the witness quietly, with
manner that was interpreted by the
lawyer as indicating chagrin at an I'M
expected exposure.
'Indeed, said the delighted lawyer,
feeling his case already won, THAT
was a heavy sentence. | trust the
jury will note the significance of the
fact. Now, sir, tell the jury where
you were confined"
in Andersonville, " replied the old
man, drawing himself up proudly.
There was a moment of silence, the
jurors looked at each other and then
the courtroom rang with cheers which
the court officers were powerless to
check and in which some of the jury
joined.
The too inquisitive lawyer hardly
waited to hear the verdict against
him.

We make a speciality of rings, but not

The claim of Senator Hill that the Elec-
toral College must be made Oh the basis of
apportionment in the present Congress,
and consist of 4O1 members only, is based
on an idea that a catch of phraseology in
the statute is superior to the language of
the Constitution. 1t is of about the CAL
ibre of the New Y ork Senator, but is not
likely to beat the Republicans out of any
electoral votes.
The Senator's great idea is that as the
new apportionment act says that "after
the 3rd of March, 1898, the House of Rep
resentatives shall consist of 356 MEMBERS"
the apportionment does not take effect
until that date. But this leaves out of
consideration the fact that section 2, ar
ticle q of the Constitution says that each
State shall appoint "a number of electors
equal to the whole number of Senators and
Representatives to which the State is en-
titled in Congress" Now at the very
same election at which Presidential
electors were chosen each State will
signalize the fact that it is entitled to
representation under the new apportion-
ment by electing the new number of Repre-
sentatives. Of course, the language of the
act to which Senator Hill refers means
simply that the House of Representatives,
when its term of Office begins, shall con-
sist of the apportionment stated. 1t
would be a remarkable illustration of the
system of construction to suit special
political cases if Senator Hills idea should
he carried out by electing next November
Representatives under one apportionment
and Electors under another
There is no probability of any such
thing being done. If Senator Hill had
taken the trouble to examine the matter
he would have found that the precedents
are conclusive. In 1872, 1882, 1862 and
1872 the Electoral College was based on
the new apportionment, and in no case was
there thought of disputing the legality
of the representation.

SATURDAY, MAY "a. ISe.
TWELVE PAGES
A SALIENT POINT.

The fact is recalled by the sentence in
the Mcclure perjury case that in past
wears a similar verdict saddled the costs on
the present agent of the Law and Order
Society, as result of his own litigation,
and that he refused to pay the penalty put
upon him by the verdict Judge White,
however, refused the application for relief
from the payment of costs, calling at
tention to the fact that man who drew a
regular income from prosecutions must
take the chances of getting saddled with
such costs occasionally. AS the same indi-
vidual was ultimately sent to Jail for per-
sisting in his refusal, it may be presumed
that he will act with more discretion in
the matter of costs this time.
What is to he done with the costs, how
ever, is a matter of little moment beside
the prominence of the fact that the al
legged maintenance of morality is in the
hands of a man who makes profession of
criminal prosecution and draws an income
from the informatiOnS which he makes
whether they are well-fOunded or not. We
do not think that professional prosecution
for revenue reflects any credit on the
maintenance of law and order While the
latter-day Scotch verdict 'of finding a
man not guilty. but putting the costs on
him may be abstractly criticised, it brings
out some facts which the alleged Law and
Order organization will do well to ponder.
