Attention Thereto in Discharging the Prisoner the Hednck-Whitaker Murder Case Bo wan VVOrUS OI WltUlnm foil frnm tka lips of udge Ferguson in Salis bury me otner day a jury brought in averdict of notguilty iu me case oi ueancfc, who killed a man named whitaker for preajung up the sanctity of his home.

Practicftllv th A of on a a -J ucuucu uu tue nigner law and won. In discharging the prisoner Judge Ferguson said a nave now reached an-i other mile-post in the progress i of the human family. This is the end of a tragedy and of I won't say a farce. This trial disclosed the evils -which surround the human famUy, and the danger of violating anv of the Commandments. Those who go the road the deceased traveled, may expect misery and an untimely and a grave, or they may be spared that to have their cup of sorrow filled to the overflo and drain the bitter dregs which they force to the lips of others.

The law against lynch-ing was promulgated at the fir9t criminal trial when the Almighty turned the guilty Cain, loose, a wanderer and a vagabond, and proclaimed that whosoever harmed him should be avenged sevenfold. The jury in this case by their verdict, have saved the defendant from punishment but have not, in my taken awav I his guilt. They have taken upon the community a portion of that guilt without lessening his. The doctrine. of a law that is higher than the written law, which was pressed in this case, is dangerous to society.

The seed which has been sown may fall upon ground adapted to its giowth. and if one man, under the idea of a moral right as he construes may violate the law, so may others. The thief may persuade himself that he may take property to feed and clothe his family from those who have plenty and perhaps made by his labor. The mob in time of financial depression, when the wheels of industry are clogged, may break into the storehouses to take food and fuel and clothing for a suffering family or break into a place where money is deposited and take it to buy that which the necessities demand. Every man who has a home and property, who has children he is educating for useful citizenship, should discountenance the doctrine of the higher law.

When the substantial citizens justify an act in violation of law, a country must reap the consequences." This is a view rarely ever thought of, but were it taken into full consideration it would not deter a jury from acquitting a defendant under circumstances similar to that of Hedriefe. This is one thing public opinion will not tolerate and a jury is in one sense public opinion. Yet, as Judge Ferguson says, it is dangerous ground and the line of demarkation may be hard to draw. Enough cases of this kind and enough acquittals would bring chaos. But what are you going to do about it? The "higher law" is greater than any other law, has always been so and will continue to beso, re gardless of whether it is right or wrong.

It was one of the few fads brought on by necessity, and the reason for it was the fact that when a woman needed a new dress it was absolutely necessary that she should construct it out of the very least material possible. "It was not proper that the garment should be shortened, and as a result the only way that economy could be used was in shortening the breadth of th cloth. The result was that just enough was used to go around, and so tight-fitting were the garments that the long step was impossible. By the time the government was again under Republican rule and things had had time to right themselves, the ladies of the land had acquired the habit of walking, with the short step." So strong a hold had it taken that, even after the change in administration, they retained the habit.
