Columbia college has just called Prof.
Franklin Fl. Giddings to a newly created
chair in sociology, the first we believe that
has been established in any American uni
versity, and one of the two or three that
exist anywhere in the world. The study
of sociology by means Of scientific methods
is something that was absolutely unknown
a few decades ago. 1t has been treated
both as a separate science, a part of the
larger study of social relations, and also as
the collective social sciences regarded as a
harmonious body Of thought. At the same
time there have been vigorous onslaughts
upon the claim of sociology to the status of
a science at all. The trend Of the most
modern opinion seems to be in favor of
marking off a field to sociology and Of CIV
ing it the name of a science, and to this re-
suit no one in this country has contributed
so much as Prof. Giddings. A few more
years and the other universities will have
to follow Columbia in establishing chairs of
sociology, and a new science will have ac-
quired a fixed place in the curriculum Of all
our higher educational institutions.

Many a prayer for a revival has been de-

Some people never pray for a revival to

Daniel had time to pray three times a

President Cleveland must have a private
detective force constantly employed to spy
out mugwumps and converted republicans
upon whom he may confer the rewards of
the great democratic victory of 1892. He
has succeeded once more in the case of the
newly appointed postmaster at Lincoln.
This cannot but edify all the good demo-
Gratis who have staunchly stood by their
party when there were no loaves for the
fishes. Intending applicants for federal
offices will at once see that their records
show the necessary number of conversions
from one party to another.

An Important Court Ruling.

The setting aside of a verdict in a Chi
cago court by Judge Gary on the ground
that the plaintiffs lawyer had abused wit
nesses must be IA novel proceeding, but II
Is one which will commend itself to many
people who have become accustomed to see
or hear of witnesses being insulted by law-
yers in cross-examination. Judge Gary
made this ruling because the judges have so
tina there Is no other method to enforce
decorum toward witnesses and in the adj
dresses to iurers. IL this Is the case a re-
should be within the power of a judge to
protect a witness and to prevent an attor-
make appeals 10 the jury. as was the case
in this state recently, when Grand Army
men were appealed to on the ground that
the accused, who was guilty of m~anslaugh-
ter, wa the son OF a comrade.

Objections are being raised to an expert
ment now in progress at one of the eastern
colleges in which a number of rabbits are
being subjected to an alcoholic treatment in
order to observe the effects which the slim
ulants have upon different animals when
given in different quantities. It Is urged
that this is an extreme case OF cruelty to
animals and ought to be stopped by the au-
thorities. The scientific results may be Sc
cured from the abundant supply of voluntary
subjects to be found among the human spe-
cies. Then, too, just think of wasting the
liquor on unappreciativs rabbits.

The Commercial club has scored another
big victory for Omaha. Commissioner UT
has succeeded in bringing about the aboli-
ton of discriminating live stock rates as
between Omaha and Kansas City whereby
all shipments from southwest Iowa and
northern Missouri can be made to the
Omaha market at a profit. The embargo
that has heretofore existed on this business
has been raised, the bridge toll having been
absorbed in the through rate. This signal
victory will be of inestimable value to
Omaha. 1t seems strange, however. that
in all these matters of railroad rates Omaha
must fight for fair play. The whole traffic
scheme of railroads in this territory is APP
parently laid out as against the commercial
interests of this city, making 1t necessary
for our people to sue for equal rights, which
can be secured only at the end of a bitter
contest. Omaha ought to be strong enough
to compel railroad rate makers to take her
interests into consideration when schedules
are in preparation. 1t is becoming ex-
ccedingly wearisome to find that this city
is invariably shut out of business naturally
tributary to it. 1t is high time the tables
were turned and that the railroad shall rem
der unto Caesar that which is Caesars.

Here is a chance for a new speculative
enterprise. The Chinese on the Pacific

in Chinese registration certificates might
mean a fortune for its manipulators.

Judge Ambrose has thrown out of court
the case of a fireman who sued a hotel pro-
prletor to recover damages for personal in
juries sustained at a fire on the defendants
premises. The judge holds that when a
man enters the public service in the capac-
iy of a fire fighter he must necessarily
assume the risks incident to the service.
He puts the fireman on the plane of the
soldier who enlists for civil war. This
proposition in the abstract seems to have
been disposed of by the judge on sound
principles. Just what the evidence would
have disclosed is another matter. If the
injury sustained was due to defective build
ing or to an oversight upon the part of the
owner of the premises, there might be
good grounds for a reversal of the courts
judgment. If, however, the owner of a
burnt building shall be held responsible in
such cases we cannot see how the city can
escape a share of responsibility for the in
jury of its paid agents in the public
service. The principle of law which enables
the empIoye of a private corporation to
recover damages for personal injuries would
certainly argue that the municipal corpora
ton cannot evade such claims. We are
inclined to the belief that Judge Ambrose's
decision will be affirmed.

Bucking the Inevitable.

The duke of D~evonshire has appealed to
the tory peers not to force n conflict with
the people over the parish councils bill. But
the tory peers do not care much about the
appeals OF the sleepy duke. The occasion
of the appeal, by the way, was the proposal
of a tory amendment by Lord Salisbury,
and the amendment was adopted. The par
ish councils bill is now so heavily loaded
down with tory amendments that its rejec-
ton by the liberals is inevitable.

Sentenced For Life.

John Hull, who was found guilty OF mur-
der in the second degree, was sentenced to
lite imprisonment In the peuitantiarY by
Judge Bradshaw this morning. The scene
was very impressive, and there was hardly
one In the court room who did not feel more
or less affected by the incident. There Is
not much doubt of his guilt, and the ver-
dict Of the jury could not be different under
the circumstances. The defendant was
brought into the court room by the sheriff
and deputy, and stood up while the judge
sentenced him. A large, powerful man,
when he realized the full extent of his pun
ishment, his frame trembled with emotion,
and the tears coursed down his cheeks. To
one who has love of life and liberty it Is a
terrible thing to be debarred of either. and
this is rendered more deplorable when 1t is
suffered as punishment for taking the life
of fellow man. Notwithstanding the fact
that Hull has been guilty of heinous crime
against the laws of this state, yet he un
realizes his position, and is evi.
IDENTIFY possessed of some of the higher
qualities of manhood. 1t is to be hoped
from the feeling he eYInced that punishment
may work a reformation, and If restored
to liberty that he will lead different life.
