absurd arrogance and a love of sland- erous assertion that passes under standing. These are harsh words; but they are abundantly justified.
 In the first place, all the presump- tions are with the fsherman's conten- tion. It is perfectly plain that large fish are more apt to escape than small ones. Of course their weight and act iyity, combined with the increased triekiness and resourcefulness of age and expeience, greatly increase their ability to tear out the hook, and en- chance the danger that their antics will expose a fatal weakness in hook, leader line or rod.
 Another presumption which much be regretfully mentioned. arises from the fact that in many cases the encounter with a large fish causes such excite ment, and such distraction or perver- sion of judgement, on the part of the fisherman as leads him to do the wrong thing or fail to do the right thing.

 That hedges round the cat. You never see her showing off; She lets the dog do that. You never catch her leaping hoops, Nor pranelng on the floor Upon two legs, when generous Dame Nature gave her four We train the dog to hunt the birds And beat him when he fails He works all day and never gets A single taste of quails The cat is wiser far than he, She hunts for birds to eat, She does not run her legs off just To give some man treat. The hunting dog, when told to charge Will stick to that one spot Until he staryes. Is there a cat So foolish? There is not.

The Washington Star puts it about right when it says. The expert witt ness hired by the state sees the case only from the states point of view, while the expert who sells his services to the defense naturally undertakes to deliver to that side the commodity for which he draws fee. The whole bus- ness for surnmoning hired men to tes- tify for one side or the other in a case involving human life or liberty is im- moral It reduces the judicial pro- cess to a commercial basis. The court itself should secure such witnesses, should protect them from confusing inquisitions, and should insure that their findings are presented to the jury in a clear and compact form. Such a system would eliminate the confidence destroying element of commercialism fnorn criminal trials as now conducted would shorten them and would safe guard the interests of both the public and the accused.

Mir. Cleveland Gives Reasons for the

 Especial reference should be made to one item more conspicous, perhaps than any other among those comprised in the general charge of fishermen's mem racity, says Grover Cleveland, in Fishing and Shooting Sketches It is constantly said that they greatly exaggerated the size of the fish that are lost. This accusation, though most frequently and flippantly made, is in point of fact based upon the most

There are people in this country who know how to make good cider but much that is made is poor. Consul Murphy (Bordeauxl says that in France cider is made of ripe, clean, un- decayed and wormless apples exclu- sively. The apples are not picked up from the ground; they are shaken from the trees, and caught in nets, and if not immediately used are stored in dry, well-aired lofts. An apple orchard of 200 trees yields about 2,245 gallons of cider, worth about s1S0 at the mill.
 Though the plans for the torpedo boat destroyers authorized at the last session of congress have not been final ly completed at the Navy department, 1t has been practically decided to limit the speed of these boats to twenty eight knots an hour, under the idea that vessals capable of maintaining that rate of speed regularly are of more real advantage to the navy than similar vessels capable of occasional dashes of speed as high as thirty-five knots, such as those designed by the British navy.
 To may be poor, but he is sometimes sharp. The clerk of Clark county, in wisconsin, has been imposed upon by an ingenious bad Indian living near Chippewa Falls. The State pays $20 a pair for wolf ears. The Indian desired money for firewater or other purposes, and so procured five pairs of wolf ears, for which the county clerk gave him an order for $10O. But that Indian is to be arrested. The clerk discovered a striking resemblance in the size and color of the ears, and examination re- vealed that they were all made out of 8 single wolfskin, ingeniously sewed together, with piece of cardboard be- tween to maintain the stiffness of the counterfeit ears.

Eugene Brady O'Ncill of Phocnix has thrown down the gauntlet to his fellow aspiranis in the ranks of Dem ocraey for political honor-.
 His announcement, yesterday. that he is a candidate for Delegate tO Con gress will likely create some con-tcr- nation among the budding statesmen and will cause others who have ai- ready sproutcd. to sit up and take no- tiec.
 Moreover. the declaration that he will invade Yavapai county prior to the convention, may cause fluttcr of excitement in the broad bosom of Col. Wilson. who, it is understood, .- ambitious to don again the toga which k now worn by Mark Smith. Henry A-hurst of Geronimo also has a burn ing desire to sit in the halls of Con gross. and give vent to the impassion cd floods of orntory that off have thrilled the Democratic patriots of tnc Territory when in convention assem- blcd. Henry will also bc disturbed when he knows that the rcdoubtabl' O'Ncill Is heading for the northland with his armor girdcd on for a warm political scrap of the vocal variety. Reading between the lines in tho following interview. yesterday, witl O'Ncill, II is evident that he has noi mucn faith in the political sincerity oi some central committees. Perhaps ihi' is the reason why he feels it incumbent
