1t was true before Gilbert said it. and
it always viii be true, that "a police
mans lot is not a happy one. when
constabulary duties are to be done .
While this is true, and the policeman's
duties require courage and a readiness
to risk his life in the enforcement of
the law, still he should have Judgment;
without it all else is but of small avail
That which calls out these remarks is
the fact that some of the members of
the police force seem a little too ready
TO resort to the use of the pistol in
the discharge Of their duties. It should
be the last thing resorted to, and then

What kind Of laws and what order
of officials are there in Ohio? That
state has been making for itself an IN
enviable reputation recently on account
Of the number of iynchings and open
attempts on the part of mobs to kin
persons suspected of crime. without
waiting Tor the due process of law: but
the scenes reported at the execution of
Albert J. France in the penitentiary of
Columbus easily excel in point of in
decency, seandalous conduct and out
rageous depravity anything that has
been reported in recent years, and
which can only be likened to the stories
of orgies and revolving scenes which
are related as attending the public ex-
ecutions at Tyburn, a century or more
ago." says the Philadelphia Ledger. If
the Ledger will only reflect for a mo-
ment on what kind Of politicians they
have in Ohio, the kind of law and or
der they have there will be easily I'M
derstood.

Is votes TO spare in the Ohio Iegisla-
ture. This may or may not be so. but
# he has, it is certain that he viii not
spare them. The late election in Ohio
was a tremendous surprise to him. He
had come to think that he was irwin
chile, and that no attack upon him
could phase his position. The attack
was made, AID he found that he was
not so secure as he had fancied. In
fact, he nearly overstocked with that
pride that goeth before a fall: he
tripped, but he did not quite fall.

used at all, it should be used, for effect
upon the person of a criminal. and not
as a bluff in anticipation of soaring
some one. Shooting at men who are
guilty of nothing more than a misde-
meanor. the punishment for which is
slight, is not justffable Everyone
realizes that a policeman is often put in
most trying circumstances; all the more
need for the exercise of cool judgment.

STATE PRESS COMMENTS.

Ogden Press: Knowing ones point to
the invitation extended by the Washakies
given under their auspices, and his ac-
ceptance OF the invitation, as an indica-
ton that there is something to the story
that there is a combination of silver Re
publicans and the Indian end Of the
Democracy with view to the reelection
of Senator Cannon. The Washalxies might
add little strength to their organization
there is little likelihood of the scheme be-
coming popular throughout the state
There are TOO many Democrats who feel
that their demands should be recognized
first to allow Senator Cannon to step
in and walk away with SO juicy plum.
