ministration of justice. and there are many
ways in which this association may greatly
contribute 10 this end Mr.. Maxwell said:
I'VE cannot shut our eyes to the fact that
the bar is, after ALL responsible for the adj
ministration of justice" This is the ideal
and correct view of the legal function, but
is it the practical one? Does the average
lawyer, does any lawyer, care as much for
the administration of abstract justice as he
does for winning his case? A lawyer must
often know that he is on the wrong side of
a case, or, if it be a criminal case, that his
client is morally and legally guilty and de-
serving of punishment, yet he works as
hard to get a verdict to get his guilty
client acquitted as if there were no abb
stract principle of justice involved. The
actual standard of legal ethics is very diff
ferent from the ideal.

A hive of bees is nothing without queen
In fact it might almost be said that the
queen is the whole thing, since the drones
do no work and the workers spend the time
when they are not working in doing homage
to the queen. She is the largest bee in the
hive and is easily recognized by the slow
ness of her movements as we'll as by her
size and by the respect and attenton paid
to her. She lives away in the interior of
the hive, very secluded, and never goes out
side except on special occasions. One of
these is when she leads out a new swarm
Sometimes this is called colonizing. The
loyalty of the colonists to the queen is such
that they will follow her anywhere and
swarm around and even throw themselves
upon her at the risk of suffocating her and
themselves. When an old queen dies or
fulflls her mission there is always another
in training to take her place kept in re-
serve for an emergency as it were If
hive of bees accidentally finds itself with
out a queen all work is suspended until one
is forthcoming. There is a temporary
paralysis of business and even of govern
ment. During this period the common bees
rush to and fro in the greatest confusion
as if each one had lost it's head. All of
which goes to show that in some respects
bees are very much like Englishmen.

If the Republicans of the Fourth congress
sional district take hold in earnest they
can make the heated season much more I'M
comfortable for the Democratic candidate
who is to be elected by Democratic votes
alone The Republicans of that district
not only ought to put up a stiff fight, but
Republicans elsewhere should give them all
the assistance in their power. There are
more reasons for the defeat of the Bryan
Democracy than there were last November
The business of the country is gradually
picking up under the Mckinley regime,
where it was declining under the fear of
Organism. Money has come out Of its hid
ing places and can be obtained by those
who conduct business enterprises which will
pay. Confidence has returned. and with it
will come better days.

able to the energy and skill of the publish
ers of the Tribune, but it must be remem-
bered that in Kokomo they had one of the
best Of the thriving cities of Indiana for a
text and in Howard county one of the
sturdiest and most thrifty in the State.
The valuation OF Howard county is s13,9S6-
255 and the number of polls 5,263 The
county has ninety-seven school houses 163
teachers and $3.50 pupils. Few cities in
the State can name a longer list of flourish
ing industries than can Kokomo. 1t has
pottery works, plate-glass factory, can
ming factories, a rubber works, a silver
plating works, bit factory, paving brick
works, an art-glass factory, machine shops
furniture and lumber factories. And with
all these industries Kokomo has schools
churches, banks and the other conveniences
of a progressive community.

The mugwump press of the country is
very busy trying to discover some Interior,
unworthy and dishonest motive on the part
of the administration for the proposed an
nexation of Hawaii. The most far-fetched,
ridiculous and contemplate suggestions are
made, as if it were impossible for an Amer
lean statesman to have honest and patriotic
reasons for favoring annexation. These
Ishmaelites would do well to remember
that President Harrison, whose motives no.
body questioned, concluded a treaty for
the annexation of Hawaii and sent it to

The Illinois Democratic state committee
has rejected its late dictator, Ex-Governor
John p. Altgeld. A year ago he was the
party dictator. In the Popocratic conven-
ton which nominated Mr.. Bryan he was re-
sponsible for the worst features in the plat
form. He was one of the most potential
factors iii the Bryan campaign But since
he ceased to be Governor the revelations
concerning his official conduct have been so
damaging that the party managers have
been forced to drop him. The conflict came
last Monday, when a secretary of the state
committee was elected. Altgeld presented a
candidate. but he was defeated after con-
test in which he made the issue. He was
in a hopeless minority. His hold upon the
state machinery and upon the machine in
Chicago is broken beyond repair.

The expression of the Ohio state conven-
ton regarding the civil service will cause
some cutlery on the part of those who are
very certain that the present methods and
system are the best that can be devised.
Those who are not so sure of that will find
In the declaration in favor of limited term
of service after a competitive examination
something which is entitled to attention. A
term OF competitive service limited to six
or eight years in any one position has much
to commend it, as the Journal has already
stated. Sure of his term so long as he is
efficient and of promotion If his record shall
justify, there is every reason to believe
that the government would secure more
efficient service than under a system which
promises a man life tenure unless he be-
comes very inefficient The competitive
system should apply to all who come to be
made secure in their places by it's rules for
q given number Of years.

WOMAN'S PRAYER ANSWERED
Aged Couple Reunited After Thirty
Years Estrangement.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Col, June %
The union of two aged people yesterday
developed quite a remarkable story of love
and devotion combined with the effects of
prayer For thirty years Elizabeth Cam
eron has been praying for a reunion with
her former husband DR.. Watt Cameron,
and when least expected her hopes came to
pass She is fifty-five and the doctor is
twelve years her senior. They were mar
ried in Louisiana and then removed to Chi
cago, where they found that incompatibility
would not permit of their living together
They separated but soon after regretted
the act, and now after thirty years, the
wife was surprised by the appearance of
her former husband at her door pleading
for a reunion. The wife was only too hap
by and said she had been praying for the
meeting before death should take either of
them away. Only one son survives the first
union, Eli Cameron, of Chicago.

average and she has made exhibits at the
academy on several occasions. AT the con-
clusion of her studies in Philadelphia she
entered the Art Students League in New
York TO pursue her work. Her ambition
was to become professional artist. The
announcement Of her death was a great
shock 10 her family, who could assign no
cause whatever for her suicide. She was
quite popular among her fellow-students,
having a cheerful, unaSsuming disposition.
She was tall and urge in proportion and
had pronounced auburn hair.

The effort of Secretary Long to fill the
ships Of our navy with seamen who are
citizens of the United States should be sue
cessful There is no reason why it should
not be so. More men can be en-
listed for the army than are needed.
In every respect the naval service is more
desirable than the land, and the compensa-
tion is as good The naval authorities have
never undertaken to enlist men in the inte-
rior, probably because they would have no
training, but the thousands of seamen en-
ployed along the lakes should afford a good
field for recruiting American citizens for
our navy
