From the Argonaue
In Illinois and some other states there
is an old law on the statute books to the
effect that in criminal cases the jury is
"judge of the law as we'll as the facts -
Though not often quoted, once in while
q lawyer with desperate case makes use
of it. In one case the Judge instructed
the jury that it was to judge of the law
as we'll as the facts, but added that it was
not Judge OF the law unless it was fully
satisfied that it knew more than the
Judge. An outrageous verdict was
brought in, contrary to all instructions OF
the court, who felt called upon TO rebuke
the jury. At last one old farmer arose.
"Jedge," said he, weren't we to jedge
the law as we'll as the fscts?" Ger
tainly," WAS the response, "but told
you not to Judge the law unless you were
clearly satisfied that you knew the law
better than l did," well, ledge, I"
ans wered the farmer, az he shifted his
guild, I'VE considered that pint"

HE TRIED TO KILL BISMARCK.
Death of . Man Whose Name Was Once
In Everybody's Mouth.

Death Of . man Whose Name Was Once
In Everybody's Mouth.
From the New York World.
Edward Franz Ludwig Kullmann, who
died few days ago in prison in Am berg,
Germany, tried to kill Prince Bismarck
In Kissingen July 10, 1874. He was a
coop6r's apprentice, q years old at that
time.
Bismarck rode out at o'clock on the
afternoon OF the attack in the royal Bava-
rian court carriage. As the carriage
emerged from the yard before his villa
and the curious crowd in the street be
gan to cheer, Bismarck raised his hand
to salute. Before it reached his cap a
shot was heard. Bismarck's hand fell
back, and the crowd saw that he was
wounded. Bismarck's coachman cut
Kullmann, still holding the smoking re-
volver, over the face with his whip.
Kullmann fed, but was caught by Herr
Lederer an operate tenor from Dram
stadt, and Herr Schlesinger, Berlin
tradesman. Kullman was then a big,
strapping, unbowed six-footer, and he
gave his captors hard struggle, but they
held fast, Herr Lederer not giving in
even when Kullmann bit deep into his
hand. Kullmann was rescued by police
men from the crowd, which threatened
to kill him on the spot, and WAS led off
to Jail. Bismarck had his arm dressed
at a nearby surgeons office and then
reappearsd at the open window in his
shirt sleeves, shouting to the anxious
ones outside
ut doesn't amount to anything. See
for yourselves" holding the wounded
arm above his head.
Later Bismarck talked with Kullmann,
who expressed regret he had not killed
the chancellor. Bismarck drew from
Kullmsn that he was a Catholic, and
then had him described in the complaint
as "a bigot, regular attendant at church
and religious fanatic"

English Comment.

Here is what an English paper, The
Economist, says Of the Wilson tariff bill
at would be wiser for our manufac-
turers not to expect too much from the
bill even If it is carried in its present
form. Undoubtedly trade has suffered
to some extent by the Mckinley bill, but
it is doubtful whether trade has suffered
as much as many suppose. A reduction
of the import duties will undoubtedly
have b nefcial effect upon certain in
dustries, but it will not of itself enable
them to lose all ground lost since 1890.
Regarding the general trade, there is no
doubt whatever that the removal of the
duties on raw material would render
American manufacturers, whose compe.
tition we begin to feel in certain markets,
much more serious rivals than they are
now"
