business Of the beauty and perfumes Of
the wild flowers which ever bloom even
amid the most horrid human wrongs.
But the laws say il was a necessity. The
attendance OF witnesses for the prosecu-
ton must he secured. Granted, but it Is
abhorrcut to every sentiment OF civiliza-
ton and humanity that an innocent and
respectable witness should he necdlessly
put IN a dungeon with thieves and mur-
derers Ia order to secure his evidence
There are several ways To avoid this.
But suppose the securing his attendance
at the trial is an absolute necessity must

the lives OF the witurss and of his help

the rich aud mighty public can it not
afford To secure it by just and human
means Because person has accidentally
some knowledge OF the facts in a terminal
case must he be compelled to needlessly
sacrifice his interests, time, property, YES
even his life, and the lives of helpless lie
pendents for the public? This is no
Armenian barbarism, but one which is
practiced in the very midst of our boosted
civilization. Lawmakers carelessly say
they feel no evils under this law. On.
no, it is like another law we have which
is always working splendidIy in the eyes
of those whom it don't NEEDLE with or
into whose pockets it is pouring gains.
Let the public at least provide respect

loss through business neglected.
There is no need of going across the
seas seeking opportunity to deal with
humanity and barbarism, as noble and
human as that may be. Right i'll our

criminal, led in the most humiiating
manner amid public scorn to an infamous

himself to be absolutely innocent, drop

no remedy for the loss OF his time, money
or reputation. The rule of the mighty
state between individuals is that the one

DIR. George Weston Wood.

We have before us a copy of the Far-
bault MINI Democrat containing
short sketch OF the life and career of the
late DR.. Geo. w. Wood, formerly OF
Coaticook, Que, and a man we'll known
here, especially among the masonic fra
ternity, at the time Of his residence in
Coaticook. He was a charter mason of
Ashlar lodge Of that place, and was the
first master elected by the lodge, posi-
ton he held for eight years, Mr.. John
Reeve, now of Island Pond, being Senior
Warden
The Democrat says: "He died at his
home in Faribault Sunday, Jan. 9TH, af.

ously involved his lungs and other organs

was we'll man, but it is only a few
months since his active labors in behalf of
suffering humanity ceased, and so great
were his sympathes for those who needed
him that he put aside his own sutferings
that he might minister to others, long
after he knew that his exertions were
rapidly shortening his own days.
During his long illness and to the very
moment of his death, his anxiety was
only for those he was leaving behind him.
He settled everything for the future COM
fort of his family, even to the slightest
detail; arranged for his funeral, and
Just before dissolution called his family to
him, kissed them good bye and lying
back upon his pillow, closed his eyes in
his last sleep as quietly as for a single
hour. His faith was strong and abiding
and he took the last Sacrament and en-
tered into rest as one would start upon
long and pleasant journey.

many ways. He was a hard and con.

He was very sensitive to both praise
and blame, but never unduly elated by

was frank himself and required others to

Ia our issue Of Dcccmhcr ~ we made
aIlusion 20 the hasty war cries which
were being made in the Venezuelan mat
ter. Among other things we enquired
what relations our government would
assume with reference To Venezuela # II
entered into the controversy. Would
they be in the nature q q protectorate.
Would it put our government in posi-
ton of assuming the protection of every
other pan-Americau government against
foreign encroachmeuts, and was there
any danger Of complications arising with
reference TO the relations which our
country should bear towards each or
any OF those governments the protection
of which should be so assumed. Now
the country is brought squarely face TO
face with these problems. Now that the
Monroe doctrine is put to practical APP
plicatiou there is no agreement asto how
it shall be applied in this case. 1t is sus-
yested that Venezuela having been the
first to break off diplomatic relations 1t
will be becoming in her to make the first
request tor their resumption. Her repre-
sentative seems reluctant to do this, 50
right here the protector is having trouble
with its protege. A family quarrel
threatens even before the protection COM
mences. 1t is difficult to determine what
course to pursue. Some favor simple
statement reaffirming the Monroe doc
trine without an attempt to interpret it,
which would be no assertion at all; 9th
ers differ about what that Interpretation
shall be il one is announced. Now we
again insist that it would have been
more reasonable to have considered
these things in the beginning than was
the inconsderate and senseless war cries
which were uttered. The hasty and SEN
sational utterances which were made III
the beginning came from men who did
not stop 10 consider that this country
would not be so senseless as to sacrifice
untold thousands of the lives of her citl-
zens and almost uncounted money i'll a
war out of which should come nothing
for it, while it would step out when the
contest was ended and leave the matter
simply as a contribution without any
consideration, either by way of benefits
growing out of the contest or any voice
in the disposition of the results or benefits
of the war. 1t seems now that Venezuel.
ans are OVERLOOKING with gratitude and
enthusiasm while this country is simply
proposing to do their fighting for them
but are equally full of jealousy the mo-
1nent the government undertakes to FIX
any relations which it shall bear TO the
controversy. Now we do not assume to
have any capacity to discuss nationa
questions, nor are we attempting to dc
so. But it does seem to be wise to con-
slider first the merits and consequences
and methods of quarrel before entering
into IT,

A Twin BarbariSm.

In one of our rambles we wandered into
the quarters of friend and having lit a
cigar we asked him what he found new
and interesting in His recent trip. He re-
Piled he had overlooked Ill his January
number of McClure's Magazine a story
which he had passed over because it was
Il story. Having met friend with a
more searching eye tor literature than his
he was told that it was interesting as
illustrating great evil in our criminal
laws. The story pictures an Industrious
and honest man who lived and died on
an unyielding farm among the rugged
hills of New Hampshire. He left widow
and son. The widow was a pious and
exemplary woman and the son IN honest,
industrious boy who was developinginto
almost herculean proportions and
strength. He was as brave and generous
as he was large and strong. In the course
of events he became enamored of girl,
as interesting and rosy as any flower
that blooms on the granite hills. Being
full of the life and enthusiasm and ro-
nance of an adventure into the outside
world and in want Of more means than
his rugged home could furnish he left his
widowed mother and fiance together at
his home and amid shower of pious ex-
hortations and vows of eternal love from
girl and mother he started for the city.
Arriving there he sought advice of a po-
liceman, foolishly assuming that they
were always the friends, guardians and
protectors of the innocent and inexperi-
enced. He was rudely repulsed and I'M
feelingly ordered to get out of the way or
he would be put in the lookup" Pro-
ceeding up the street two men rushed out
of a saloon. One was being pursued by
the other. The lad stepped into the
shadow of a building where lie could OBJ
serve and not be seen. A shot was fired
The fleeing man fell. A struggle ensued.
The assailant was overcoming his victim
The country lad rushed to the assistance
of the man who was being murdered, as
he supposed. While in desperate strug
gle with the villainous saloon-keeper a
policeman came up and struck the lad a
stunning blow on the head. He was
brought out of the street, his clothes
saturated with blood and he unconsci-
Gus. At length he was restored to COLI
seriousness. Then followed a difficult
walk to the lookup a night of horrors
the arraignment, the order of bail for the
appearance of the lad as witness, his
wild despair, return to his cell, the delays
and postponement Of trial procured by
the means of the murderer's money and
ward influence, the visit of the girl to
the prison with tidings of the mother
death, the swooning of the imprisoned
witness, his unconscious return to his
cell and long delrious brain fever. At
length the day Of trial came. Mysterious
consultations were had in the court
room. The prosecuting attorney asked
leave TO enter mol pros. The case was
ended because the only witness was dead
