 The prominent man said he had some ter him. and on finding him in the con dition just described. called attention of 2 nurse who appeared with proper medicine and rudely opened the mouth of the patient. poured the medicine in and on the patient refusing to swallow the medicine, he gave the patient a savage kick in the breast with his foot and repeated 1t several times, bruising and wounding the patient without cause.

 of course. they are going to sheer that Spooner Is now a corporation law yer. If by that they mean a man learned in the profession and . help to the court in the administration Of justice. they are exactly right. But that is not what they mean. They seek to insinuate that spooner will lend him. self to corporations to oppress the peo- pie. Why did he leave the Senate? If that is his game. he could have earned millions in that body. Many was the day that his absence from the sitting would have been worth is doubtful If there ever was Sena- tor more regular in attendance, and 1t is certain that. for his length of ser vice. no other Senator ever knocked on the head 70 many jobs on the vri- vate calendar. There were other Sem etors as honest as he-plenty of them but love of detail is a gift that fey men have to the degree that Spooner has 1t. There was no real duty of a

 We have fallen on times when men who think they are full and overflow ing with political virtue that came down to them from Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. two lawyers are actually persuaded that no first class lawyer can be an honest man. The fact Is that free government in EnRland and In Anporfno ta he tion of lawyers. If there had never been a lawyer in the world every country to this day would be ruled by despots. or by anarchists. Government itself Is nothing but law. and that is the best government whose laws are best observed. Life. liberty. and prop erty have their security in the law. able, but to preserve them they must be intrenched in the law.
 There never was a great lawyer who was not conservative man. John c. Spooner is a great lawyer and he is a conservative. His very greatness drew the shafts of little men, as did Tilden's They said that Tilden was a corpora ton lawyer. So he was, perhaps the greatest. They said he was a railroad wrecker. Sohe was not. He took in railroads that others had wrecked. re- organized them. set them on their feet, and made them paying properties. The Republican party had wrecked our great political corporation by 1876. Had they not stolen his 5ob Tilden would have restored that. too, and we would have escaped all the agrarfan vagarfes of the next preceding double decade.
 I apprehend Wisconsin will have trouble in finding somebody to fill Spooner's shoes. Villas is the only man she has whose feet are big enough, and Villas party is out of fashion in Wis consin at this time Mir. Spooner like MT. Carlisle. will get more satisfaction out of the private station. It is as easy to hem a sparrow in the corner of a worm rail fence as 1t is to retain the confidence of constituency of the average American Commonwealth.

In the fall of that year, three negroes, Dave Lee, Burden Bates and Andrew Howard, brother of Griffin Howard. were tried and convicted of burning the residence of MT.
