ONE of the most ridiculous
spectacles now before the Ameri-
can people is Gresham. His
diplomatic blunders have become
so frequent they have ceased to
attract genera! attention. 1t is
now known that If there is a
wrong policy to be pursued on
any question. Gresham will dis
cover it.

A WRITER in the Economist
gives the following advice that
is well worthy of consideration :
I'VE should recover every
branch OF home industry that the
passage Of the Wilson bill has
transferred to foreign nations.
This unwise legislation from
which we are now suffering is
working against American inter.
ests in both ways. Our indus
tries are being supplanted by
those of foreign nations, thus
Gripping the purchasing power
of our people and at the same
time, by the repeal of the reel.
procity schedules. closing foreign
markets which we formerly had
gained under the Mckinley law.
These faults of the Wilson bill
should be corrected we should
establish in the United States
industries now languishiag, but
which under the Mckinley law
were thriving here, and thus dl-
vert capital as we'll as labor from
the overproducing industries aud
relieve the latter by creating
other aud new industries. We
should return TO the condition of
purchasing power and greater
consumption that existed during
the three or four fiscal. years
ending June 80, 1893. Then the
revenues OF the government were
ample to meet all OF its expendi.

to sell bonds to meet deficit.

One day, when staying at the royal
lodge the king entered the drawing room
leading his little niece by the hand The
band was stationed as usual in the ad-
joining conservatory. Now, Victoria -
said his majesty. "the band is in the next
room and shall play any tune you please
what shall it be?' ''Oh, Uncle" replied
the princess with great readiness, Il
should like God Save the King better
than anything else"
A similar instance of childish quickness
is related in regard to the queens early
studies in music:
Being one day required to practice at
the pianoforte she objected, desiring to
know why il was necessary to spend so
much time in the Grudgery Of running
up and down scales. She was told that
there was no royal road to music, and that
she must practice like other children. The
little autocrat did not agree with this.
and quietly locked the piano and put the
key in her pocket, saying: There, YOU
seei There is no must in the matter. -
Having made her point, however, she
was soon prevailed upon to reopen the
instrument, and so proceed with her les

Defending the Guilty Man.

THE matter of condolences between

and Importance" said a well known jurist
and an eX-judge the other day, according
to the Chicago Times.
las to the duty of a lawyer on the trial
OF a case where he has been informed by
his client that he is guilty, the best and
most controlling example is that of
Charles James Phillips, the eminent Brit
ish barrister, who, in many directions
was rated in his time as second only to
Lord Erskne.
He was defending Courvoisier who was
indicted for the murder of Lord Russell.
During the trial, on the examination of a
very important witness for the people,
the accused was much overcome, and in
the intensity Of his emotion communicated
either to Mr.. Phillips or his solicitor the
fact that he was guilty of the crime.
Mir. Phillips Immediately asked for an
adjournment of the case, and for a consul
tation with the judges. The consultation
was granted and Mr.. Phillips stated to
the bench that the accused had confessed
his guilt, and requested that the judges
point out to him his path of duty. The
would have perfect right to make such
legal and logical deductions from the evil
dence as he thought tended TO the excul-
patton of the accused, but it would be I'M

Sonal belief Of his innocence.
In his argument to the jury Mr.. Phil
