I have seen no man rise from the dead ; I have seen some thousands rise from nothing. I have not force to fly into the sun, but I have force to lift my hand, which is equally’strange.—Carlyle. . Queer Ethics In the Morrow trial at Chicago we read that the prosecu- tion “fought desperately” to exclude testimony which would have nullified its own theory that a crime had been committed In a case founded upon circumstantial evidence, what interest can a prosecutor have in convicting one who may be innocent, other than a ghoulish instinct for the man-hunt? All that is wanted is—the truth. Nothing should be tolerated that will prevent favorable truth from being proved ‘ An accused person must either impoverish himself to hire attorneys, or allow his nominal defense to be in charge of any lawyer—perhaps inexperienced or indifferent— who may be as- signed to that task. If innoéence be shown, all he gets is dis- missa!l. No compensation for his expense, his mental anguish. One state has already employed a public defender. Others should follow. It may be bad for a criminal to escape punish- ment, but far worse to make criminals by doing injustice. Kicking the Country School Eederal aid for education is far better, comparatively, than such aid for many other purposes which could readily be named, but to obtain it for rural schools on the pleg that their condition is “lowly, heartrending and tragic,” as claimed by a member of the National Educational Association recently, seems rather over-stating the need. Some of these schools have terms too short, aud are destitute of nearly everything the city school has in the way of equipment. Nevertheless, from schools equally deprived, have gone forth many of the nation’s greatest men and women. It is not the school jitself, but the condition of the euralists where such schools are poor, that needs attention Take the burdens off the back of the farmer, and his children will have time for full terms of school, and he will have money to provide every requisite. Moreover, he will not have forced upon his children a lot of the solemn frivols which the average city child has to endure. Ter-Ra-Za-Boom-De ced for its divers blows at capital. Gen.
