With my brother lawyers of this state
tho important question is TO have a supreme
Judge elected in whose integrity they have
full confidence and IN whose learning and
ability they have sure guaranty that the
statute and tho common law will receive a
correct Interpretation. Lawyers perhaps
realize also more than any other class that
our courts are not only the dispensers OF
justice between man and man, but the
paIiadinnm ~ the peoples liberty the sacred
from thu greed of the capitalist and the
clamor OF the unreasoning multitude. 1t Is
deeply to be regretted that the great masses
of the people do not sufficiently reflect how
important the judicial office Is TO their well
fare.

TeIegraphic Typewrltcrs.

An invention recently exhibited at a
Conversations of the British Royal So
ciety seems likely, so far as private
house-to- house calls are concerned, to
supersede the. telephone. This con-
trivance is telegraphic recorder, with
out a battery, invented by Mr..
Stelges. 1t requires no skill, and
typewrites the message on the desk
of the receiver, while retaining an
identical copy in the hands of the
sender 1t is such a revolution in
telegraphy that the postoiilce, on the
advice of w. H. Preece, has adopted it,
and will install it wherever required
by the public at a small cost. The
home secretary has just sanctioned it's
introduction to Scotland Yard, where
forty instruments have already been
ordered. The new telegraphy trans
mits a message or signal and makes a
permanent and indisputable record of
the order sent, and the fact that it is
independent of batteries will make it
very useful in warm climates. For
Mr. Rhodes, in his Cape Town to
Cairo connection, this should prove
most valuable, and it is understood

chanically produced hypnotism by
means of the revolving crystal globe

globe, which is the latest invention OF
the French mesmerist, has such power
that the actors and actresses, on the
stage have to exercise great care to
keep their eyes away from it. There
is no risk to the audience, as the globe

It" as usual. The door between the
dining-room and the library, where he
had thrown himself down on the d.
van, was open, and he heard his SIS
ter's offer of the wine and Georges re-
fusal.
It reminded him of the time when
he took his first glass of wine and then
he thought of the events which fol-
lowed. Like all drunkards, at times,
he would have given anything he pos
sessed to break the awful bondage, and
he now wished heartily that when he
had been offered his first glass he had,
like George, had the courage to re-
fuse. Then the thought came to him,
Am / going to be outdone by a boy
twelve years old? What he can do, l
can; it isn't too late yet. II God Will
only forgive me and help me, I'll never
touch another drop"
A few minutes later the boys and
Mrs. Ray and the three grandmothers
were greatly surprised to see Howard
Morse walk into the dining room and
greet them cordially. Since he had
started on the downward path he had
kept taciturnly to himself when he was
at home, and avoided meeting any Of
the people who visited there. This was
a new Howard, surely!
After dinner, instead of hurrying out
of the house, he joined the boys in the
library. He was so entertaining, in
shutting new games, and telling
thrilling stories, that no one could be-
lieve the clock right when its hands
pointed to the hour for leaving.
Reluctantly the boys went home,
after bidding Uncle Howard" hearty
goodnight.

his arm and drew him aside.

Some years afterward he started out

CHAMBERLAIN'S
RADICAL CHANCE
A POLITICAL ABOUT FACE
-T~-~
Once Rampant Republican and Now
the TOrieSt of Tories.

Al the civilized world has It's eyes
now fixed on England and on the Trans
vaal. and thousands are watching with
the kecnes' interest every move that
ls made in the great game by the two
leaders-sir Joseph Chamberlain for
Great Britain and Dom Paul, chosen
champion OF the sturdy Bocrs
TIE tactics OF the two men have
been In accordance with the spirit OF
the nations. or rather OF the govern
ments, OF which they are the represent
atlves.
A quarter OF u century ago no one
living would have believed that Mr..
Chamberlain would ever become ia
nous as one OF the foremost exponents
Of Imperialism. At that time he was a
good deal Of red republican. and he
seems 10 have cherished the belief that
sooner or later a republic would surely
take the place OF a monarchy in Eng
land. lie even styled himself as a
communist. He admitted that the word
had an ugly sound, but he pointed out
that the leaders Of the Paris commune
had fought for the principles of self
government.
Another singular fact is that during
his early years In parliament the house
OF commons was mainly busted with the
Eastern question and with South Afrl-
en-, and on both these topics he went
strongly against the conservative gov
emment, AS q member OF Gladstone's s
government OF lSS0-S5 he was also
largely accountable for the convention
OF Pretoria, whereby quasi-indepen-
denc was secured TO the Transvaal.
The Chamberlain OF today differs from
the Chamberlain of the old days when
Gladstone was fighting for home rule.
II was precisely this question Of home
rule which lmpslled Mr., Chamberlain
to enter upon the course which he has
ever since steadily pursued. Mr.. Glad
stones Irish policy was abhorrent to
him, and SO he formed a party OF his
own, which he styled the liberal union
list, Old staid politicians jeered at him
and his handful OF followers. but he
held his ground patiently and received
his reward when the conservatives
again came into power for they well
coined him, and the result is that we
see him today secretary of state for the
colonies and as pronounced tory (or
