The rurnstrIs Defen.es of Chicago.

Even if British war vessels should get
into lake waters it does not follow that
Detroit and the other points would be
easy prey. Granting, however, that they
would strike colors, it again does not
follow that Chicago would do likewise.
Chicago is one of the best defended
cities this side of Doomsday. On its
lake front from the river to jackson
park is the Illinois Central railroad.
Now, England has bumped against
many foe, worthy and unworthy but
she has never encountered the Illinois
Central. When she does, she will not
only abandon all notions of capturing
Chicago, but she will find turnstile on
every ship, and if she fools around here
long enough she will lose the ships.
The Monroe doctrine is stanch af-
fair, but in comparison with the turn
stile doctrine it is lame, wabbling,
vacillating If England wishes to retain
her autonomy she will not monkey with

In the days when Denmark was not
the power in trade it Is now, and when
competition over $4,000 miles of ocean
was not dreamed Of, CanaRa had fair
portion of the butter trade then existing
in England. But when the people there
thought they could do just as they liked,
and sent across stuff which was good
enough when nothing else could be got,
it was Of course refused here as soon
as we had so many sources of supply to
turn to where good article could be
obtained. Shippers in Montreal have
blinded themselves to the change that
has come over the trade and have per-
sisted in placing butter bought cheap in
the summer in cold storage, to await the
advent of better prices, and have then
shipped it when the bloom has disap-
peared and all its connection with the
pastures of the Dominion has been eff
faced.
The natural result has been that mer-
chants here have refused to buy it save
as a substitute for train oil, and the
trade has dwindled to miserable proper
tions. Now, as it would seem, too late,
they have awakened to a sense of the
big mistake they have been making, and
shipments are coming forward in cool
chambers, whence they are transferred
from railway refrigerator cars. On all
of the new supply bonus of cent a
pound is paid by the province of Que
bee, the government being responsible
for the railway and steamship arrange
ments. This has to be fresh made cream
cry butter, and the design is to re-estab-
lish Canada's credit on our markets.
Should the return be in proportion to
the outlay, other provinces will no
doubt follow the lead and Canada once
again become prominent in our returns.

General Miles Favorite Weapon.

There is not survivor of the war Of
the rebellion, SAYS the Chicago Chronicle
lui,,liiIi,G with Il c ia that
it is n fundamental Of army regulations
that public discussion Of military affairs
IN newspapers, etc, and criticism Of Off
GERS and authorities is forbidden. II every
regiment were to be debating society
and every officer entitled tol criticise his
superiors and every man jack in the
military service 'authorized to address
town meetings on the relation of his COM
mand to the universe, there would be
precious little discipline. Military organ
ization without discipline Is not pos
sible.
The war department has just discovered
the desirability OF emphasizing this old
time army regulation. The secretary has
called attention anew to the necessity Of
their duties. Perhaps the general Of the
army will take this hint. OF all the
garrulous, Cabling, foolish fellows foist-
ed into conspicuity as n result of family
and political influence, General Miles is
the most absurd His tongue is hanging
on pivot. His chatter is ceaseless. If
a day should go by in which General
Miles statement of what he did when
he was youth and what the army will
do when it has war and what defenses
are wanting and what coasts are not clear
is not published, tie general seems to be
unhappy. He is a combination of the
magpie and the peacock.
As a paid servant of the United States
in place of conspicuity he ought to at
tend strictly TO his business. 1t is, as to
him, sufficient charge on his fellow
countrymen that he must be supported
by them. His gratuitous information to
the public of how much money they must
also pay for defensPs on the theory we
suppose thst ldier like Miles could
never be offensive, save with his tongue
is impudence We have congress to attend
to such matters.
One mistake of President Cleveland S
administration was the advancement Of
this. absurd fellow to the position Of gen
eral in command OF the army.

what the AuItman Case Suggests.


The celebrated Aultman guardianship
removal case now in progress in our
courts, and by the way case in which
the people are muchly wrought up, brings
prominently to the front the injustice of
American Jurisprudence. The laws that
we are working under are based on the
old English common law: this puts a
person in the hands Of the state, or in
other words, provides for the appoint
ment Of a guardian, the guardian being
responsible to the state and its laws The
guardian, a creature Of the state holds his
trust until removed. The process of re-
moval is the injustice of our system OF
laws. If the ward considers the guar
dian longer unnecessary and the guardian
for any reasons desires not to relinauish
the trust, the ward is compelled to go into
court and at an expense seek to oust him.
If the guardian resists the money of the
ward is used TO continue person in
supervision Of him or her. Such law
is wrong, because it is manifestly against
common justice. The state has placed a
ONtI u NhIu anu Une COHl-
mon sense plan would be for the ward to
go into the court that appointed the
guardian and signify desire for his re-
moval 1t should then devolve upon the
state to show why the guardian should be
continued, and the state should bear the
expense, not the ward II such pre-
cedure prevailed enormous court costs
and attorney fees would not drain the
resources of the unfortunate ward. France
and Germany long ago broke away from
the old English laws and in just such
cases as the Aultman, put the burden of
proof and expense upon the state and not
upon the ward. The two countries
named are way ahead Of the English law
on the point; they have abandoned tradi-
tion and struck out into new and modern
lines. American Jurisprudence needs
changing Incidents such rs we see here
today should not be possible under any
system of laws.

A contributor to the New York Sun
reaches the conclusion that the Wagner
fad in music is rapidly losing its grip and
we agree with him Crowds have at
tended Wagner performances in the past
from legitimate interest in the art and
novelty until at last, curiosity having
been satisfied, and the nerves familiarized
with the peculiar stimulant applied TO
them, the music is judged dispassionate-
ly. As music Wagner's operas will fail
TO hold the public as they used to do
They are too long Their ideas are too
few. and the latter are squeezed and
wrung 10 a degree that produces the
sense of WEAKNESS. Neither variety OF
rhetoric, modulations of voice. nor tricks
of elooution, can save an orator lacking
in ideas. 1t is an error to think, as Wag-
ner so delights in thinking, that the or
dinary conversation Of the drama can be
carried ON in music. 1t becomes tedious
and bore, a flow OF the non-melodio
which is pertorce monotonous, and ag-
gressively and dehantly monotonous.

900. She held the bonds and notes OF
Aultman, Taylor & Co., simply as SO.
curity that my note would be paid, and
had no interest In the concern.
HER BUSINESS ACUMEN.
Judge Amber then offered in evidence
letter written April 49, 1889, by Mr..
Harter TO Mrs. Aultman in which he
endorsed the $50, 500. The letter also
stated that II she had no Immediate use
for the money, she could return 1t, and he
would send her Aultman Taylor e. Co.'S
note payable on demand, bearing 4 per
cent. interest.
81 consider my note to Mrs. Aultman
perfectly good, and think the collateral
security is also good, said Mr.. Harter.
When re-examined by Judge Day, Mr..
Harter said he collected the interest and
dividends on the note and stock held by
paid her the interest on his own note.
In answer to Judge Amber, Mr.. Harter
said he voted the stock, and had to pay
Mrs. Aultman the interest, whether he
received that much from the company or
not.
Court then adjourned until Monday,
January 27, when the examination of
Sarah Bomberger will be continued.
Attorneys for Guardian Miller were de-
lighted with the testimony of Mr.. Har-
ter claiming IL shows Mrs. Aultman
can't even remember large business trans
actions, as she has frequently said she still
owned 1929, 500 in Aultman, Taylor &
Co. The attorneys on the other side say
Mrs. Aultman really owns exactly this
amount, as she holds the stock aud notes
of the company as security, and simply
forgot some of the details. They will
argue that her getting $4,000 more than
Mr. Harter wanted to pay, Is an indica-
itOn that she is u good business woman.

A Quaker City Eccentric.

1t is safe to say that no other big city
has such queer crank Of the cranks as
Philadelphia has in what is known as
"the wooden man. " He has attracted so
much attention that he now poses for
notice and changes his wonderful CO.'S
tunes almost daily. Formerly he car
ried cane in his pocket, projecting, or
else over his shoulder. Then for some
time he wore a red band around his hat
His latest wrinkle is an overcoat with
red binding on the pockets, a curious
canvas collar and red piping up the back
of the coat. On the side of the collar,
not in front, but close to his left ear, he
wears huge chrysanthemum. Every
afternoon he promenades Chestnut street
when it is crowded and takes off his hat
to every woman who looks at him.
Many women are afraid of him and
cross the street or go into doorways. He
is colored man who is employed
around the wharves of a steamship COM
pany early in the morning and in the
afternoons dresses in this way. He has
been doing it for many years. At one
time he haunted the hotel corridors, but
he has long since been refused admit

The crowd in probate court Saturday
morning was not as large as usual. Ac-
cording to agreement Hon. Michael ID.

examined on behalf of the defense.

Mrs. Aultman had S245, 900 in notes

seeing her at her residence.
II offered to give her par, Y but she
thought 1t was worth more, and said It
would have been sold at higher price a
year previous told her that parIwas all
/ was willing to give, but finally gave
her $3.50, 900 for her entire interest"
Judge Day then read note for $3.50, 600
dated February /, 1889. payable on or be-
fore thirteen years after date, to the order
of Katharine b. Aultman, With

months from August /, 1889, to August

THE endorsements are in my hand

note TO me and returned 1t with the
draft" said the witness. "Later Mr..
Miller said the paper was too valuable to
be sent through the mail, and the endorse

the negotiations were made by Mrs. Ault-

that Mrs. Aultman had forgotten the
largest business transaction OF her life.

dispatch reports that great progress has
already been made with Prof Rnntgon' s
wondcrcul discovery Of new light If
that be a proper description of it. Prof.
Klupathy Of the Pcsth University has OBJ
tained even greater success in photograph

experiments by enclosing objects TO be

It has been ascertained that the light

the new chemical light through alumi-
mum plates an inch thick and they went
rs clean through MS If the substance had
been glass; The same was the case with
two sets of books including many vol
umes; these he placed between Crooke's
tube and an ordinary compass. Behind
them was a wooden case with dry plate
and the result was as complete photo

is perhaps no photograph in the ordinary
sense, beause no lenses are used. 1t is

be what it purports to he, there will be

the least of which will be the use OF the

be no more guess work in many diseases
that are now obscure in diagnosis. such

Naked Lamps Still Used In Many Mines

The most deplorable feature about the
calamity at the mining town of Dayton,
Tenn, is the fact that g men lost their
lives needlessly. They used the danger
ous open lamps in their work, regard
less of the record of death from such
carelessness with which the history Of
coal mining is strewn. AS long ago as
1915 Sir Humphry Davy invented a
lamp to prevent accidents in coal mines,
founded on the principle that flame, in
passing through iron wire meshes, loses
SO much nf its heat as to leave it inca
