THE HAINs' PREDICTION
Thornton's Boast About 'sUnwritten
 Law'' Proven Premature.

From the Milwaukee Free Press.
 When Thornton J. Hains was acquit- ted some months ago he made this shameless and insulting proclamation:
 "The jury, by returning verdict acquitting me of original responsibil- ity for the death of Annis, has placed the 'unwritten law high above the written law of the state of New York. Clearly, the jury vindicated tha right eousness of the 'unwritten law by find ing me not guilty as charged. That must be obvious to every mind that has followed the trend of testimony and grasped the significance of the yer dict in correlation with the judges charge. Clearly, also, if I am guilt less, my brother is guiltless. Should he now be tried, there Is not any doubt that he will be acquitted
 That disgusting boast has now been reduced to blatant nothfngness by the verdict of the jury that sat in judgment on the brother.
 s'Manslaughter in ths first degree" will not appeal to many as being com mensurate with the cruel, cowardly, and dastardly homicide of which Peter Hains was guilty, but it is sufficient at least to put quietus on the proclaim ers of the "unwritten law,' and closs the braggart mouth of dangerous in- dividual.
 That doctrine must be fought, and fought desperately, by all good citi- gems, all the more when certain publi- cations, working the sympathy rack et" tsnd to foster its dissemination.

PATHOLOGICAL DEMOCRACY

once upon time when thsre was s democratic party there lived an emi nent statesman named William l.. Wil son. Tradition says that he was dem ocrat, whatever that may mean, and 2 kindly legend has 1t that he was in ad dition, 3 man of principle, of character and of unimpeachable honesty. There come down to us amusing, almost in credible, tales. of his trying to frame tariff bill in accordance with democrat ic principles, and of his successes ant failures in that impossible attempt. Ht 1t was who, in a fine burst of enthusi asm, wrote these lines upon certair tariff bill:
 '.we have beloved that the first 5 Htep toward a reform of the tariff
 should be release of taxes on tho
 materials of industry. There can
 be no substantial and banefcial re-
 duction upon the necessary cloth ing and other comforts of the Amer
 ican people nor any substantial
 and beneficial enlargement of the
 field of American labor as long as
 we tax ths materials and processes
 of production. Every tax on the
 producer in this country is a pro
 Section to his competitors in all
 other countries, and so narrows his market as to limit the number and
 lessen the wages of those to whom
 he can give employment. Every
 cheapening in the cost of enlarge
 ment in the supply of raw mater
 ials, while primarily inuring to the
 benefit of the manufacturer him.
 self, passes under free competition
 immediately and passes entirely to
 the consumer, who very soon gets
 moro benefit out of 1t than such re-
 ductions seem to carry, because,
 with thu rapid widening of his rlar-
 ket, the manufacturer is able to
 sell at smaller profit. It is, there
 fore, very narrow and short-sight-
 ed view which supposes that we
 release the duties on iron ore and
 coal, and wool, and other like ar
 ticles solely for the benefit of those
 who manufacture our iron, steel, woolen and other fabrics.
 Long since has this worthy man gon to his fathers. His honored name ha become faint memory, his word sound mythical and fabulous. Moder investigators account his dsmocrac spurious. his beliefs too antiquated f' acceptance, and his principles i'll fount ed. Fit for babes the tale of his deeds parables for the nursery, but not mea for strong men. A wicked and prote' tionist generation knows him not.
