Gus Sabbath day.
Rev. w. E Carr preached an excel
lent sermon in the morning from St

him highly cultured host.
At 8 80 P. M, Rev. Moses from Vir-
ginia Seminary preached at High IS.

equalled or excelled the sermon, judg-

one feature of the recent Improvement
in medical practice lies in the fact that
symptoms and are searching out ana
remedying causes. They now try 10 Ie-
move not a cough but the cause of the
cough. They consider that the cough is
frequently the effort or nature to relieve
the patient, The thing to be considered
is the evil which demands the cough. 1t
is not the "Ghills" which must be re-
moved but the fever of which the chills
arc a symptom. The distinction between
symptoms and causes must be made not
only in the practice of medicine but in
morals, in government, in philanthropy,
in sociology The hunger and rags of the
tramp are SIMPSONS; feed him to reple-
tion, cothe him in brand new suit from
the establishment Of the most fashionable
tailor, and he would still be a tramp, and
within forty y-eiCht hours the symptoms
would all return with redoubled Viru-
lenCe. The poverty-stricken home of the
drunkard is a symptom; TO put him in a
brownstone front sumptuously furnished
would not remove the cause. 1t some
times happens that that which Is a symp-
tom may be the result Of one cause and
the cause of another symptom. The
drunkard's thirst may be the result of a
badly nourlshed body, insufficient food
and overwork. and IT Is also the cause of
excess of aggravated poverty and misery.

THE ETHICS or THE BAR.

From the Times Herald.
The eXtraordlr airy statements made by
Mr. Howe, the New York criminal law
yer who is defending Thorn, the alleged
murderer Of Guldensuppe, ought TO Chal-
lenge public attention for their license as
to the lawyers duty to his client Mr.,
Howe upbraidCd the counsel of Mrs.
Mack for suffering his client to confess,
and thanked God with ferVor that i'm a
practice Of thirty-fiVe years he had never
permitted a client against whom there
was no testimony TO confess a crime.
Mr. Howe shows and says that nOtwth-
standing the guilt Of his client, 1t is the
lawyers duty to free him if ne 1an.
o
While there is a wide latitude assumed
by the legal profession in their relation
to clients which is sometimes difficult to
reconcile with reason and morality, we
do not believe they will indOrse the views
Of Mr. Howe. That a Law yer is to q
that his client is not unlawfully con-
demned, and that everything that makes
in his favor shall be presented to the
court and jury, is universally recognized
as his first duty, but if, knowing his
clients guilt, he endeayors by sophistry
in argument. by bullying witnesses, or by
misleading the court and Jury with rhet-
Orical arts to set that client free, he does
wrong to society that no professional
ethics can excuse, Doubtless criminal
lawyers prefer not to know that their
clients are guilty, so that conscience may
not be too severely strained, but if in the
course of the relationship that guilt be-
comes not merely suspected but abso-
lutely known to them, while It may be
his duty to develop such evidence as will
minimize the penalty TO be awarded, ne
is no longer justified in an attempt to
give him liberty.
As DR.. Johnson very forciby said; "A
lawyer is not to tell what he knows to be
a lie; he Is not to produce what he knows
to be false testimony, but he is not to
usurp the province OF the jury and OF the
Judge and determine what shall be the
effect Of evidence-what shall be the ro-
suit Of legal argument"

pubic AN array of figures on the subject
of divorce, and a loud cry is made for
the amendment of the laws which make
divorce too easy. No doubt the laws Of
many Of the states demand change; but
If every law providing for divorce were
repealed, though We might get rid of a
symptom we should not be rid of the dis
ease. There are no divorces in South
Carolina, for the law docs not allow
them; but it would not necessarily follow
that the state of morality is higher in
South Carolina than in New England. A
writer in the Century Magazine, describ-
ing the crackers of Georgia, says: "When
a husband and wife get tired of each
other they separate and each picks up
with some one else" They do not figure
in the divorce courts but ii would hard
ly do to hold up these people as an ex-
ample of high morality. Divorces are
very rare among the members of the
royal families i'm Europe, but-but. Di-
VOrce is a symptom of domestic strife and
unhappiness, of hasty and unwise mar
riages, contracted from low, selfish and
sensual motives, of ignorance, of impa-
tience. Professor Henderson, an aC-
complished sociologist, says, in his $50
cial Spirit in Americas" "Se!hshness, un-
kindness, impurity and brutality are the
deep disease of which divorce is the symp-
tom. Such evils exist where divorce is
almost unknown. We can not judge alb
solutely Of the morality of a people by
statistics Of degrees of separation"
No doubt divorce is also cause of
domestic unhappiness. Persons make
slight efforts to promote harmony when
they know that they can so easily change
their condition. The great thing to he
done Is to remove the cause; to let people
realize the solemnity OF marriage bonds
the folly and the sinfulness of assuming
| ance In the home, the obligations of the
husband and the wife to each other and
to society, and the obligations Of parents
to their children. Mobs and popular vio-
lence are a symptom and a result. While
the state should put down a mob with all
the force at its disposal, II should also

tation Of a familiar line or phrase to the
argument in hand, is rightly esteemed a
judicious ornament of style, anu this use
of quotation is often one cause of mis-
quotations. The whole knowledge of
many authors which the public in gem
eral possesses is derived from allusions
to them by others. That is why the
quotations we call familiar are really
only familiar at second hand, and why,
when they are m!squoted, the connec-

THE FLOOD SITUATION.

Omaha, April l4.-There is less dan
ger of a cutoff of the Missouri river,
and unless there are unlooked-for rises,
or high winds from the north. it is
probable that not much more damage
will be done. The dikes were greatly
strengthened today and have almost
stopped the flow at the most dangerous
point. The water is spread out over a
wide stretch of territory and surrounds
a few more houses, but the change of
the channel of the Missouri has been
averted. for the time at least.
The men employed along the levee
struck today for double pay. They
were getting 10 cents an hour and de-
manded 80. Their demands were re-
fused and twenty quit work. Other
men were easily procured.
On the Iowa side of the river the
water has inundated farms at a dis
tance of three or four miles from the
stream. Many hogs, cattle and horses
were drowned. The flood is the worst
since the inundation of 1881, and is do
ing immense damage to property along
the river side. The flood seems to
have reached its height and will proba-
bly, fall from now ON.
