Ex-Chief Justice Bleckley has given up
the practice of law. He makes the an
nouncement in seven stanzas of fearful
poetry which shows that the parting gives
him pain. 1t was the laws fault-or
rather the fault of those who go to law
For more than one full decade with pale
unsandaled feet" according to the judges
poem, he sat on Georgia $ seat and render
ed righteous judgment between the tares
and wheat. Nevertheless, when he was
old and weary, and strove to earn the
bread wherewith his wife and children
long after might be fed. both the tares
and the wheat were out of sight. Not that
the judge or his family lacked
sufficient store for easy going com
fort, but only wanted more TO
keep distant phantom from a sacred
humble door" He had been so long
accustomed 20 looking a long way ahead
that. while the wolf was nowhere within
sight or sound, he desired to take measures
against his possible slipping up unawares.
The last stanza of the judges farewell to
his old master, the law, asserts that the
odd and humble servant remains be-
heath his rod uncovered and unshod. -
The sentiment is very touching. But for
the life of US we cannot understand why
the judges feet should have remained pale
during the whole of his term upon the
bench, or why he doesn't put on his shoes
1t is all right to stand uncovered in the
presence Of majesty, but not even Car
Reed required his subjects to go barefoot.

Under a Lowered Tariff.
From the Boston Herald Qnd.)

1t matters comparatively nothing that
there is doubt as to whether wages have
attained 10 per cent. increase or only 5
mains that the people are employed, that
they receive good pay for their work,
that business is prosperous. The high
tariff advocates said that this could not
possibly be the case under a lowered tar
if, and the result confounds them. Here
is the case in a sentence. The Herald
predicted that this prosperity would come
from the change in the tariff, and that
the business of manufacturing would full
ly participate in it: the high protection
lists prophesied ruin as the result We
are content to leave it with the people
to say which was right

Kansas farmers are now turning one Of
their worst pests to good use. They have
apparatus for catching and killing grass
hoppers. which they feed to hogs. If they
could now find something that would eat
the Russian thistle, they might turn that
pest to profit also. Maybe they would find
the Harlem breed of goats TO be the thing
they are looking for. The appetite that is
delighted with empty tomato cans and cir
Gus posters would probably not be palled
by Russian thistIes.

The Defenders Many Accidents

The Defender will be fortunate If she
has no accidents during her races with
Valkyrie III. She has had quite a number
thus far. Indeed, accidents have pursued
her, as it were, ever since the attempt
was made to launch her. Our dispatches
yesterday stated that when she was dry
locked Sunday morning it was discovered
that she had sustained an accident to her
mast. The dispatch stated also that the
discovery was a fortunate one, for had
she gone to sea with her mast in the con-
dition in which 1t was she would have
gone to the bottom of the sea in the first
pun of wind that struck her sails.
Doubtless the Defender will be all right
by the time the races begin. 1t is to be
hoped she will. In the meantime the opin-
ion among yachting experts seems to be
that she will defend the Amefica's cup
successfully provided she meets with no
accident.
Mr. George Gould is receiving a good
deal of commentator for the public spir-
tied manner in which he has permitted
the Vigilant to be used to establish the
Defenders right to be chosen as the cup
defender. He has spent a good deal of
money on the Vigilant to put her in shape
to contest with the Defender in the trial
races. He had no hope that the Vigilant
would be chosen to meet Valkyrie III.
but if he had not made the Vigilant such
a fast boat quite number of improves
ments which have added to the Defend
ers efficiency would not have been made.
The improvements were suggested by the
contests with the Vigilant. If the Defend
er wins Mr.. Gould will be accorded a
share of the glory.

A "Frozen Truth"
From the Pittsburg POST nem..

1t is likely that Pennsylvania and New
York united viii indicate the next re-
publican candidate for president, and
this means that it will be done by SEN
ported that Mr.. Harrison, or his conf
DENTAL friends, have given out that he
will not be a candidate with Pennsylvania
and New York against him in the conven-
ton. This is one of the political rumors
that may be received as in the nature of
frozen truth.

Ex-Mayor Hopkins in n had Light.

EX-MayOr Hopkins in n bad Light.
The story which Vice President Howard
Of the American Railway Union tells re-
speeding the part which ex-Mayor Hopkins
OF Chicago took in the great railway strike
in that city a year ago last July is a re-
markabIe one, and. If true. puts Mr..
Hopkins in a very bad light before the pub
lie. According 70 our dispatches yester-
day the story Is confirmed by Eugene V.
Debs, the president Of the American Rail-
way Union, who is now serving his SEN
tence in Woodstock. Ill, Jail.
According to this story there would have
been no strike If Mr.. Hopkins. who at the
time was mayor Of Chicago. had not ad-
vised Debs ito tie up the railroads,
or at least. some of them, in
order to bring Mr.. Pullman to terms. The
story explains why 1t was that Mr.. Hop
kins made such little effort to prevent
violence and the destruction of property.
He advised the strike. Hence he was IN
sympathy with the strikers. and wanted
them to succeed.
Doubtless Mr.. Hopkins had no idea that
the strike would reach such enormous pro-
portions as to threaten the peace of the
whole country, and 1t is probable that he
had no particular desire to injure the
railroads. He had a grievance against
Mr.. Pullman, growing out of a business
transaction which occurred when Hopkins
was a resident of the town of Pullman,
and doubtless he thought he saw a chance
to injure Pullman by inducing Debs to
order strike on the railroads.
Here was an official occupying a
very high and responsible position,
who. TO satisfy his desire to
injure one man. deliberately ad-
vised a course of action which disturbed
all kinds of business; which caused the
loss of millions of dollars worth of prop
erty and many lives, and which might
have resulted in a condition of affairs
akin to civil war No one can predict
with any degree of certainty what the re-
suit of the railway strike of 1894 would
have been had there been a man in the
office of President having less courage and
determination than President Cleveland.
Neither the mayor of Chicago nor the
governor of Illinois seemed disposed to
check the mob that was rapidly taking
possession of Chicago. The President
acted without consulting them and
brought the great strike to a speedy end.
Unless ex-Mayor Hopkins can show that
the story told by Howard and Debs has
no foundation he is likely to find himself
the most despised man in Chicago. And
if he is guilty of the charge brought
against him ne ought to be despised. In
fact he ought to be invited by the people
of Chicago to leave their city. Public
opinion ought not to tolerate him. Debs,
Howard and the other American Railway
Union leaders were only his tools, who did
his bidding.
But why did Howard and Debs tell this
story showing ex-Mayor Hopkins culpa-
bility? Have they fallen out with him?
Did he make pledges which he has failed
to keep? These are questions upon which
the public would like to have some light.

A Triumph of EIementnry EDUCATION

The following little incident happened a
day or two go in a London suburb, says
the Westminster Review: A bootmaker's
apprentice, a lad of about IA, delivered
pair of boots at a tradesman's house
The BRIDESMAIDS wife, accustomed to or
derby business ways, asked the lad after
handing him the money for the boots, to
receipt the bill. Al this request the lad
showed the greatest confusion, so that the
woman, to reassure him, said, Gust re-
ceipt it, as a matter of business" Where
upon he wrote laboriously something on
the paper. In the evening, when the
tradesman examined the papers on the
spike, he came upon a bootmaker's bill,
at he foot of which was written in large
letters in a schoolboy hand, LAS a mat
ter of business" 1t was the youthful APP
prentice's literal Interpretation of the de-
mand for a receipt as a matter of bust
ness.

BAD GOVT.

Although often ascribed to "high living
alone, it is by no means true that govt
comes from this cause. And really no
matter what the cause may be, it seems
that it is absurd to let this excruciating
disease take hold of the system when its
ravages may be readily stopped if the
proper steps are taken. JOYS Vegetable
sarsaparilla has not only been shown to be
an efficient remedy when the malign tor
ture has full sway, but it has also been
proved beyond any question that if taken
in time course of this wonderful medi-
cine will entirely remove all traces of it
from the system.

Pleasant at the preliminary examination.
Though she has since changed her name
Attorney Dickinson found her testimony
about the same, even after lengthy ex-
animation based upon big diagram of the
locality where she saw Blanche and
Theodore on the Powell-street car-Powell
and California streets.
She was on the sidewalk. She looked
up and saw the couple on the dummy of
the car. Durrant held an open book and
both he and Blanche were reading in it.
Durrant also looked up at that moment
and Mrs. Dorgan saw his face fully. She
thinks she could not be mistaken. Miss
Lannigan, another classmate, was with
her. Miss Lannigan will be called Monday.
AT the noon recess one of the spectators
pressed forward and held out blank bit
of pasteboard.
II am so and SOL he said to the elder
Durrant, won't your son please write his
name for my daughters collection?"

rant, and those who heard him smiled
with satisfaction at the rebuff to the auto

eyes, he acted peculiarly" said the witness.
Mr.. Barnes put question that summar-
lied the evidence already given by the wit
ness, and upon objection by the defense
Judge Murphy decided the question should
not be answered.
Then the cross-examinatlon began. It
was not directed toward disputing the evil
dence of the witness, but toward throwing
doubt upon the Identification of the pris-
oner by Miss Edwards. This took place in
Chief Crowley's Office. Detective Anthony
went out to the school, and Miss Lanni-
gan, Principal Yoder and Miss Pleasant
went with witness and the detective to the
Chiefs office. Durrant was brought into
the Chiefs Office, wearing his hat. She
identified him very readily, she said. She
had previously seen his picture in the
Chronicle with his hat off.
Mr.. Dickinson wanted to know how high
Durrant raised his hat when he met them
at Clay and Powell streets. And he
wanted to know every possible detail con-
nected with that meeting. Miss Edwards
answered all of Mr.. Dickinson's questions
readily and clearly, and the long cross
examination did not shake her main testi-
mony in any particular. 1t was not con-
Guided when court adjourned for the noon
recess.
