past forty years have the volunteer
military companies in the South raj
lied to the cause of law and order and
saved a situation that might have
grown terrible. indeed, without their
timely presence. Our State troops
should be constantly encouraged to
increase both in numbers and efici-
ency, and in every comm unity fortu-
nate enough to have a good military
company the soldiers should be made
to feel that they have the warm
moral support of every citizen and
that the active sympathy and mater
iaI aid OF the community can ALWAYS
be counted on. THE young men
should be encouraged to attend drill
and feel pride and interest in their
military duties. and when, as is the
ease today, the COMPANIES are called
on to so into encampment at some
distant point, the ranks should be
full. and no soldier kept at home by
the demands of an employer except
for reasons of exceptional strength.

do need them we will need them bad

DRY of a conspiracy, and yet L'Engle
must have surely thought them
genuine else he would never have
made such serious and elaborate
charges. The testimony of Messrs
Knight and StoVall is positive and
unqualified that they sent no such
dispatches, and the records of the
telegraph Office fully sustain them.
how then could L'Engle have secured
those dispatches whose fac-similes he
published in his paper and which had
apparently gone over the wires? Mr..
Knight says his signature was a for

Local Markets.
Wisconsin Grain & Stock Co. Comment

Stock Comment-The stock market
opened weak and irregular this morn
ing and there was some rather heavy
liquidation during the early part of the
session. Union Pacific declined six
points, and Reading copper and the
other active issues were very weak
until shortly before the CLOSE, when
the loss was quickly regained on good
support and short covering.
Wheat Comment-The wheat market
opened easier this morning on softer
cables. Receipts were fair hut the
market was dull and listless until
shortly beforethe close. Good buying
by commission houses and some dam
age reports from the winter wheat belt
brought the market to close at the
high point Of the day.
With the good cash demand and
the serious condition of crops in for
eign countries, we believe this wheat
is cheap at present prices.

MAY DEPoRT HIM.
Grand Forks Man insane in Canada,
Will Be Sent to This State.


Grand Forks, N. D., March 10. -
George p. Flath, formerly a we'll
known resident of Grand Forks, is in
an insane asylum at Toronto, Ont, ana
the authorities there will probably
send him back to Grand Forks and let
North Dakota care for him. A Cana
dia official has visited Grand Forks and
has learned that Flath took out his
first citizenship papers here. He Sc
cured a copy of the papers and has
returned to the dominion. 1t is be-
lieved from what he said while here
that the Canadian government will de-
port Flath at an early date
Flath became insane several months
ago. He was in the machinery bust
ness in Grand Forks. Relatives in On
tario decided they wanted him and he
was taken east. He baked in Chica-
go, but a message from Grand Forks
chilled his fond expectations and he
willingly proceeded east. He seemed
to recover his reason and returned to
Grand Forks. After a few months he
went to Ontario and it was learned
recently that he is in an asylum.

The Higher Law.

Philadelphia Public Ledger: In a
sensational criminal trial at Culpep-
per, Va, the presiding judge, one Har-
rison, made statement of his inter-
probation of the unwritten or higher
law" which must have made the Vir-
ginians gasp who, with other people in
this recent time, have no doubt been
hearing so much about various kinds
OF laws not in the statutes that they
have come to accept them.
The brothers Strother forced one
Bywaters to marry their sister, and
then when Bywaters was on the point
of leaving the house after the cere-
smony the brothers, deeming Bywaters
to be negligent or Indifferent, shot him
to death. The hypothetical question
asked by counsel for the defense em-
bodied, of course, an emotional in
sanity" clause, and in addition made a
reference to the "unwritten law"
whats that ?" asked the judge.
1.-THE 'unwritten law? 1t is not used
in this court" The judges further re-
marks should be circulated:
I cannot let the occasion pass with
Tout saying emphatically that no such
commonwealth, If by such law it is
meant that person can take the law
lin his own hand and right his wrong,
however great the wrong suffered by
him may be-
Provocation, however great, cannot
justify or excuse homicide by re-
sponsible person. 1t can only be con-
sidered in mitigation of the offense.
Under certain circumstances it will re-
duce murder to b manslaughter, but
never Justify an aequittal
Every rational being i1kSt seek re-
dress for wrong through the law and
leave his vengeance to his God.
The judge ought to have monu-
ment erected to his common sense.
This unwrittep and all forms of the
higher law are the excuses for law
lessness and lynch law. The trainers
of the higher law are the harebrained
persons who form mobs, those who
administer and execute its processes
are people who have some criminal or
Illegal intent; and the judges in this
jurisdiction are the moonstruck or ir-
responsible elements In every COM
munity who are not amenable to the
law of the land and Of common sense.

CARDINAL IN DANGER.
Merry del Val is Taking Risk in Using
Corridor.


Corridor.
Rome, March ia grave question
is agitating the Vatican, namely the
dangerous condition of the apartments
inhabited by Cardinal Merry del Val.
|g When Plus x was elected pope he
chose for his apartments those which
had formerly been inhabited by the
late pope's secretary, Cardinal Ram
.polla, and Cardinal del Val had to be
content with a small suite of rooms
on the second floor. Quite recently a
prelate who is also a friend of the
cardinal, gave sum Of 100, 900 francs
the monye should be used for the pur-
pose of housing his friend in a manner
worthy of his dignity.
The gift was accepted and it was de-
cided that the money should be spent
in vrenovating the apartments of the
late Cardinal Antonelli, famous for the
fetes which were formerly given there.
These apartments are close to those
at present occupied by Cardinal Merry
del Val. The work was begun, but
then 1t was discovered that the low
ceiling OF the corridor outside these
rooms, and which was heavily decorat :
ed with gold. was in danger of falling
down, the work having lopsened the
plaster so that the cardinal, who was
to pass through this corridor. literally
speaking, has Democles sword hang
ing over his head, and there Is no NOM
ey available to have the ceiling re-
paired.
