EXPERT wrTNEssEs.

The notorious divorce suit of the Hartjes, now going on at Pittsburg brings in the expert witness" as most important suits do if q question of hand writing Is involved As all know who have kept up with the proceedings in the case. the husband Is suing for divorce from the wife, the evidence upon which he mainly relies being a lot. of discreditable letters which he alleges were written By the wife to one Nadine, a coachman. Mrs. Hartje positively denies having writ- ten the letters. or any of them. and the issue Is joined between the parties. It is here the expert on handwriting comes in and The New Orleans Item thus refers to that class of witnesses.
 The common notion is that experts testify as. they are hired. The im- pert secures judgment to suit the em- ployer's need, is supported by many spectacles of experts for the proseeu- sion and defense; or plaintiff pss, and a,6 de; each other. but each in exact accord with the desire of the side from which he draws his pay. In this case the HHsDandS expert destined that the letters were all forgeries. no doubt to his great astonfshment. Men like Hartje cannot understand how an ex- pert procured by liberal pay and put upon the stand to do certain thing should permit his conscience and his oath to control him.
 There is Certainly something In this view of the matter. Is 1t not natural as general proposition. that witt ness should testify In favor of the side employing him7 Tn this case. as stated by The Item. the expert employ ed by Hartje testified against him, and we can well understand that the hus- band was surprised He is unable, doubtless. to see how a mans own witness could go back on him. but this is not a common occurrence. We have read of numbers of instances where handwriting experts testified in. direct contradiction as to the gen. uineness of a signature. and in a case like that 1t Is plain that their evidence is worthless. If the court itself could designate an expert who would have no ground for bias or prejudice some confidence might be placed In the re- suit. but as a general thing the testi- nony of handwriting expert Is not by any means conclusive.

The Guthrie iOkta.l state capital makes this remark;
 We would like to hear from Colonel WatteFs0n of Kentucky and W. W. Screws or Montgomery. Alabama, and many others who have been Journeytng toward the Bryan band wagon, on the interview of The commoner editor in London in which he stood by free silver.
 The only comment that we think necessary to make on the above Is to say if Mir. Bryan proposes to devote any of his time and talents to the work of galvaniEing the free silver corpse. with the hope of making 1t an issue in the next campaign. his jour ney in the direction of the Presiden- cy will come to an end before he gets within telephone distance of the White House. There are vital issues now before the people which demand and should receive the united atten- tion of the Democracy. Free coinage Is not such an issue, cannot be made one and neither MT, Bryan nor any other man can win on it. That's all there Is about 1t.

A number of these huge vessels are to be authorized by the chambers this year on the recommen- cation of the ministry of marine and the naval budget committed The craze for heavy armament has not de- veloped quite to the stage reached in Japan, Great Britain and this country, and batteries exclusively of ten or twelve twelve-ineh guns are not to be installed as proposed for the British and Japanese naval mon- sters. The French vessels will carry the usual complement of four twelve-inch guns mounted sa harbelte and in pairs in fose asd sft. turrets For the rest tteir main batteries will consist of mere popguns of nine and one-half-ineh caliber.

 public man who has known most ties for many years said in our pres ence the other day that Dr. Gun ningham had the highest and purest ideals of government and of the duty of a citizen to his State and a public official to his people of any man he had ever known. Certainly the his- ture and such ideals For years he has labored in many fields of work for the public good and no man can show where he ever placed self above duty or ambition before the public good. For over year he acted as Governor of the State under very try ing conditions and circumstances and no man can point to that period ard show that he did not dc his work faithfully and act always with an eye to the public good.
