4 LEGAL AEISE.

The liberties which the customs of our
courts permit to counsel in cross-examin-
ing witnesses often arouse indignant
comment; but the evil seems likely to
grow instead of diminish, if the ruling of
the Court in recent criminal case in
Brooklyn is to be taken as precedent.
The trial was that of Searvant for the
shooting of Mrs. Chapman. The sole de-
fense was that of charging the victim of
the shooting and the principal prosecuting
witness with grossest immortality. On
cross-examination she was forced to reply
to questions imputing this immoral con-
duct, and on her asking the Judge # she
must be compelled to answer the ques-
tions, that iuris5 replied that while he was
sorry for her he could not prevent the de-
fendant's counsel from requiring her
answers.
In Ii 5 -'lling the Judge threw open the
door to the widest license of abuse of wit
nesses by counsel. The universal belief
Of the public press is that the charges
made by The defense were wholly
untrue. But, even if they had
been true, they had no bearing
whatever on the case. They could
not have been intended to impeach the
testimony of the witness, because that
testimony in all its vital points was amply
corroborated. No sensible view of GRIM
inal law will hold that because woman is
not what she should be, her bad character
is justification or even provocation for
shooting her.
The fact is that this attempt to blacken
the character Of the witness was simply
carrying out a threat of what could be
done in case of prosecution for the crime.
1t might be permissible for the prosecuting
attorney to let the defense make its posi-
ton worse by such a proceeding; but
judge with any conception of the dignity
Of his court should not permit its time to
be wasted, and action to be delayed, by
the Introduction OF such foully Irrelevant
matter He should have cut that line of
questioning short and compelled the de-
fense to confine itself to questions bearing
on the case.
Judges can, if they choose, do a great
deal in reforming the license of counsel.
But the trouble is that most of them are
too much bound up with the traditions
about the privileges Of the legal profession
to purge the practice of its abuses

MOI WHAT'S WANTED.

Congress ought early to amend the
Interstate commerce act so as 10 absolve
any railroad officer compelled to testify to
illegal rates from all criminal responsible
ity for his acts so far as his testimony re-
lates to them, remarks the Philadelphia
Press, apropos of the effect of the recent
Supreme Court decision. Such an amend
ment would cap the climax of the blunders
by which the punitive features of the act
are brought to 4 nullity

PITTsBURG. MONDAY. JANUARY 25
GooD ORDER PRESERVED.

As The DISPATCH has commented
sharply on the violations of the peace
which accompanied the Manchester street
railway strike earlier in the week, it is no
more than fair to give the strikers credit
for duly respecting the law on Saturday
afternoon and evening.
1t was widely apprehended that Satur-
day night would be productive of some
breaches of the peace, if not of serious
riot; but the reverse proved to be the case
The crowds gathered along the line and
hooted the men who worked the cars,
which may not be wise thing to do
But as no attempts were made to use
force we must credit the strikers and their
friends with having effected a decided and
praiseworthy change from the disorders
Of the earlier stage of the strike More
over, the strikers in their public utter
ances have earnestly declared themselves
in favor of a scrupulous observance of
good order.
So long as the strike preserves that
commendable attitude it will command
the sympathy of the great mass of the
citizens of Allegheny and Pittsburg.

BRILLIANT AURORAS.
Remarkable Electrical Phenomena Re-
Gently Seen in Nebraska.

CooKsoN, NEB., Jan. 24-One of the most
remarkable electrical phenomena ever seen
in this country was witnessed few nights
ago by those who were fortunate enough
to be up after midnight. 1t had been a very
cold day and the air was crisp. For several
nights there had been brilliant auroras, and
these had gradually increased until the light
was so bright as to almost turn night into
day. On the night in question the auroras
were especially bright, and just after mid
night what appeared to be electrical clouds
made their appearance in the north and ac-
cumulated in vast numbers and fioated to
the south, disappearing al an anglo of about
2Oo after passing low over the city.
These clouds were of a most peculiar ap-
pearance, being bright and shimmering and
the light increasing and decreasing, while
all the while the clouds emitted a cracking
noise similar tn that emitted by tissue paper
when it is rumpled or crushed. These clouds
continued to increase in number until the
whole heavens to the north OF the city
seemed to be filled with them, and so bright
appeared the night that it became easy to
read newspaper print by the strange light
There was no flashing such as is made by
lightning, but the light was of a mellow
character and seemed 10 permeate the whole
cloud and to take on part of the aurora's
light from the rorth, which all the while
gIowed with greater fervency than had ever
been seen at this place. On the second night
the same strange phenomena were witnessed,
but in a much less degree, and since that
time they have been absent, although the
aurora has benn V 'rv brilliant.
