TEARS IN COURT TRIALS.

Tears in court during a trial before a jury are to be taboOed. According to an exchange. Judge Brumback of a Kansas City circuit court, has dis charged two juries in the same suit because the plaintiff a woman, burst into tears while on the witness stand testifying in her own behalf. The judge declares that he will have no tears in his court. because they are bound to prejudice jury. This is specially true in personal damage cases
 There is foundation of strong common sense in this attitude Of Judge Brumback which other jurists must admit, whether they follow the same principle or not. Justice is of ten defeated by a flood of oppOrtune tears from the eyes of some fair plaintiff, for no jury on earth can be quite immune from the influence
 
 distress. Probably no woman ever existed who was not a postmaster of the delicate art of sobbing. It is her best weapon. It is an artifice that has not failed to move the hearts of men since Eve shed some natural tears" while leading the way out of the Garden of Eden.
 Emotionalism in the grim business of administering justice is losing it's vogue. There was a time when the lawyer who could paint verbal pic lures of his clients sufferings that would fairly saturate the court room with saltiness, until everybody glared in red-eyed horror at the defendant. was considered the best advocate pro- curable. Many a man has been hang ed on the testimony of tears. Those familiar with court room procedure ha*a learned many things about the mysterious feminine propensity to weep at the psychological moment The thine is an instinct of the sex. A woman can do it without ever hay ing to learn. just as she can sit on her feet, or jab a malicious and ter rifying hatpin through forty-dollar creation without scraping the scalp. or eat candy before breakfast. or talk with her mouth full of pins, or dance with twenty pounds of draperles swirling about her heels. or any other of the catalogue of weird accomplish ments with which nature has endow- ed her.
 That the opportune sob is of DOW erful persuasive influence every man can testify, but the melting tear as a trial asset in court has reached it's hiehest davelopment. A plaintiff will sit unmoyea while the jury is out during a strictly legal argument, but let that iurY return to the court room and the fair plaintiffs expression will suddenly change and she WlH SiahSe from eye to eye of the men in the box, and the effect upon their faces will be that of a brisk wind passing oyer field of ripening grain.

"WHO IS CHANDLER" 2"

The recent Roosevelt elt-Chandler-Ilil u,an- Bailey controversy has revived memories of William E. Chandler, the erstwhile fire-eaiing, sOuth-hatinS Senator from New Hampshire. How oyer there are some who seem to have forgotten his record, and in an swer to the query, "Who is Chan dler?' the Democratic Brooklyn Eagle reviews his record as follows:
 During the Tilden Hayes contest be was sent to Florida to nu]lify the Democratic majority and nurse the Republican returning board on US way to q reversal of the vote Of the state. That he accomplished. MT. Hayes owes his accession to office to MT. Chandler's feat in Florida. But MT Chandler was soon denounclng the president he had made, and MT. Hayes found d cause fer happiness in MT. Chandler's denunciations. MT. Chandler then long figured as an at tolncy in Washington, but Was not nominated for anything until MT. Garfield named him to be solicitor general in the department of Justlce The senate rejected the nomination,
 When Garfield died, the gradual changes which President Arthur made in the cabinet led him to nom- mate MT. Chandler to be secretary of the navy, in the spring of lss2. lie held that place for a longer period than he had occupied others but he retired on the incoming of Cleveland il: 1885.
 "'Two years afterward New Hamp- shire chose him for the United States senate. There he remained. He dls- played the activity of a wasp and the penetrating power of a bent pin. No n an was more bitter of speech, or more skillful in being cause of discomfort to others. He had friends, among his kind, and he made enemies by an acidity of tongue and of temperament. In accounting for them to his constituents he was skill full. They were either unreconstruct- ed traitors or disobedient Republican ingrates who had wickedly differed from him. New Hampshire. howev- CT got tired of Mir Chandler, in spite of the habit of the state to continue it's senators indefinitely in office. It elected q duller and a better man to be his successor.
 His term expired, when the sec ond term of President Mckinley be- gan. That amiable and loving man preserved Mir. Chandler to public ser vice by making him president of the Spanish treaty claims commission. Within the quietude of that virtual sinecure, Mir. Chandler escaped crit icism by escaping observation, until the recent denotement of him as an intermediary or go-between, establish ing confidential relations with the president. on the one hand, and with Democratic senators, on the other. His principals. for admittedly he has had two sets. agree in saving that to each he declared he spoke for the other and now both find themselves at variance on account of his facile versatility, which has been the em- barrassment of aM presidents and the comfort of none.
