JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. l2.-The
dairymen of the state are complaining
of the dullness in their line of business
because of the low price Of butter, and
the competition of the butterine
manufacturers, who are flooding the
market with their goods, which in
many instances is sold under the name
OF butter. In the reports to the
bureau of labor statistics, they say
that the butterine, or anti-color law
for butter, is helping them some, but
that in many instances butterine is
being put on the market as pure
butter. Many Of the creameries of the
state are forced to close for want Of
business to carry them on.

AN ILAEGAL BIoYoLE sToP.

The bicycles place in law Is gradu-
ally becoming fixed, and when it has
made all the legal stir 1t can we shall
know Just what its legal rights and
wrongs are. An important contribu-
ton to bicycle law has just been made
by Pennsylvania court. In that State
a woman brought suit against a rail-
road company for damages on account
of the death Of her husband, who was
killed while crossing the track. The
decision has just been announced. The
facts proved at the trial were that the
wonran's husband was riding a bicycle
at the time the accident occurred. AS
he approached the crossing a freight
train was passing and he had to wait
Instead of dismounting he made what
is called bicycle stop" riding his
wheel around in a circle. AS soon as
the freight was out of the way he start
ed across the railroad, and was struck
by train ON the other track The
court held that the bicycle stop" is not
stop in the legal sense; that the rid
er had not exercised due diligence, but
was guilty of contributory negligence,
and that the widow could not recover
damages.
This is a pretty fine point But there
are often fine points in suits for dam
ages.

The Children,

No food for the children like the
pure food Seal Boefgrain.
The record up to date is, that every
child who has had it has cried for
more.
But that is not the chief reason why
this is the ideal food for children. Chill
dren do not always know what is best
for them. The chief reason why you
should have your children use it is be-
cause you are father or mother of
good common sense.
Seal BOefgrain is almost entirely
pure protein, that is, it is the flesh
forming, bone-1naking food.
Not only will it make the flesh firm
and clear and make good teeth. but il
is without doubt the most easily di-
gested food that can be obtained.
Be sure to try it with your children.
You can get it at D. S. Cooper's on
State Street, or of any grocer on State
Street, near Court, or at Fullerton Is
Boston Grocery.

one Alexander Charters for alleged IL
bells of peculiarly atrocious character
directed against Lady Twiss, whom the
prosecutor had married at the British
Legation, Dresden, in 1862, The case
was heard for several days in the po-

to a torturing press of cross-examina-
ton by Charters, whose conduct the
magistrate denounced in strong terms.
On March Is the case came to drama

WrZI yYE SESSION BE sHosTs

Is it possible that this session of the
legislature is to be short? Friday was
the last day for the introduction of new
business and, surprising as it may seem
and Is, no effort was made to extend
the time. 1t is believed that this is the
first time in the history of the State
that this ever happened, and as this has
happened some are venturing to hope
that the State will be surprised by a
short session.
But it is not wise to be too hopeful
that the legislature will get away from
Hartford in time to celebrate the
Fourth of July in freedom from legis-
lative care. There is pile of business
to do and some of it may take consid-
cradle time. The total number of new
pieces introduced at this session is 1857,
1,155 in the house and 1872 In the senate.
This is a larger number than the num-
Der of those introduced in 1895. In that
year the number Of bills introduced in
the house was 1854. in the senate 30s.
In the session of 1893 there was much
larger number. the accumulations OF
four years, covering the period of the
deadlock. 1t appears to us that more
foolish and cranky bills have been in
troduced this session than were intro
duced at either of the last two sessions
These bills should be disposed of ir
short order and the more serious ones
should receive the attention they de-
serve as promptly as possible. A short
and business like session of the legisla-
ture would be encouraging.

THE PUBLIC DEFENDER SCHEME

One of the bills to make more offices.
with salaries thereunto appertaining.
that have been introduced at Hartford
is the bill which provides for a public
defender. 1t is a. queer concoction. 1t
provides that there shall be elected in
each county at the general election to
be held in the year 1898 and at the gen
eral election every second year there
after, a public defender, who shall hold
office for two years from and including
the first day of January next succeed
ing his election. Any person duly ad-
mitted to practice as an attorney at
law in this State and who has been
resident Of the county for one year
shall be eligible to the Office Of public
defender and no person not so qualified
shall be eligible. The public defender
when authorized by the board of coun-
ty commissioners of any county in
which he is public defender may ap-
point one or more assistants. Every
assistant defender shall be an attorney
at law in this state and shall be a res
ident of the county in which the ser
vice is to be performed. When SINH
larly authorized the public defender
may appoint clerks or other employees
Every appointment made by the pub
lie defender shall be in writing and may
be revoked by him in writing Both
appointment and revocation shall be
filed with the county clerk. 1t shall be
the duty of the public defender to at
tend all criminal courts and to appear
for and defend all persons charged with
the violation of law who are without
counsel and who desire an attorney to
appear for them; also to attend the
proper tribunals and appear for and in
behalf of all persons charged with be-
ing insane or lunatic.
The obvious and sufficient objection
to this is that public defenders are al
ready as thick as graSShoppers. No
| man charged with crime has to go
| without a defender if he cannot afford
| to hire a defender. The court will ap-
| point 'one, and the interests of the ac-
| cused are quite as well taken care of
under this plan as they would be likely
| to be by a public defender elected.
| Cannot a judge be as safely relied on
to pick out a good public defender as a
| political caucus? A good illustration of
how the present plan works has just
been seen in the Ripple case Ripple
has been defended by two good law
yers and has had the best expert testf-
mony that money could buy All that
| the new public defender scheme means
| is more politics. more offices and more
