INTIMIDATING WITNESSES AT COURT. The shooting to death of Wesner, a well-known attorney of Lebanon, this state, by a man whom ho had abused while in examination as a witness and villified in a specch in a court trial at Danville one clay last week is apt to have a somewhat salutary effect among some attorneys of many of the bars all over the country. The public has often marveled why a judge will so often allow witnesses to be goaded and bedeviled as they are by some lawyers without more frequently affording them protection. The plan seems to be brow-beat and beaddle witnesses by which they may make misstatements, which were probably not originally intended, then intimidate and confuse them, after which before a jury hold up their testimony in ridicule and aim to win their case upon it. This, we say, is the plan pursued by some attorneys, not all of them. With some, witnesses are handled fairly and honorably, and the truth more frequently brought out than by the old time bulldozing system. If the court will not protect a witness then he is compelled to do something in self defense even to tho shedding of blood as has occasionally happened. Is this plan of lampooning witnesses the correct one to pursue in general practice? Allow that a witness may be a perverse liar, a person of doubtful character, is there not some better plan for getting at the truth than by personal abuse, insults, etc? Very few real good lawyers ever adopt this method. A caso in this court here some two years ago, illustrating some attorneys methods in this particular line, is recalled by this affair at Danville. A witness, a young innocent country fellow was on the stand. The attorney for the opposite side commenced quizzing him regarding his birth, although entirely irrelevant to the case being heard, and before letting him go compelled him to humiliatingly acknowledge that he was a bastard The treatment of this witness created much indignation among those attending court at the time. If this fellow for the unjust, unreasonable humiliation ho had been put to had arisen and brained this attorney with a club tho public would have sympathized thoroughly with him. And yet the court permitted it. Legally it might have been permitted, but morally and for every other reason it should not have been. If this system of treatment of witnesses as so often noticed in court still continues then those engaging in it must also reckon upon the matter of personal safety to themselves. A feeling that such treatment toward witnesses is not correct is growing yearly. Our prediction thus far in advance in tho trial of the witness who killed Wesner is that after all the facts are brought out his punishment will not be near so severe as if the deed had occurred a few years atro.

THE CITY'S "BUSINESS".METHODS Some of the business methods pursued by tho city's officials are certainly unique and peculiar if nothing else. For instance it would seem any member of the council can supply anything needod by the city that he may possess and no question is asked regarding the price nor is competition invited, nor even thought of. The principle seems to be the tax payers of the city must foot the bills and what are you going to do about it? At the first regular meet ing in this month, Mr. Reynolds, the member from tho third ward, was appointed one of the committee on the fire department, The same week without leave or license he hauled from his establishment 100 bushels of oats for feed for the city's horses. Thrifty Mr. Reynolds! He keeps oats, corn and feed for sale. But why should ho furnish it unless under contract? Why not put tho furnishing of sucharticles'under contract and to the lowest bidder? Who knows but that some other firm would supply it at lower rates and save money for tho city? Based upon this style of business Mr. Smith can furnish oils and paints for the city Mr. Campboll dry goods Mr. Tomlinson groceries, without any questions being asked or any competition being solicited. It is a beautiful system aint it, and any person that can furnish supplies for the city without running against any competition ought to do .real well if he has much business of that kind. It is one of the freakish ways the present august city legislative body has of transacting business. Several of them are of the same crowd that fastened an $80,000 debt on tho people by way of an electric light plant. But then the council ia all republican, tho officials all republican, and their system republican, and what are you going to do about it? Some time ere long many of the tax payers will wiBh they had done something about it.

LYNOH LAW IN SOUTHERN INDlANA.. Two men, murderers, were lynched in Southern Indiana last week. Each of them had committed murder only a few days before tho dread vengeance of the mob was visited upon them. There have been numerous cases of lynching by mobs in the southern portion of the state during the past twenty-five years, the Reno gang in particular in 1868-9 being entirely exterminated before the mob ceased from its work and in which eleven men were taken, from the jails and their lives given up to satisfy the anger of the mob. Now this mob law is all wrong. No men unlessconstituted by tho law to bo executioners of criminals have any legal or moral right to take the lives of other men. They in this unlawful proceeding commit tho very crime for which they are punishing other moil for committing, and are equally culpable. In executing murderers thev become murderers. If one man has the privilege self assumed of committing a crime then all others have. It might bo said, however, with very slight justification for some of the work of mobs in that portion of tho state for several years past, that in many counties they have had no one outside of these mobs to execute the law and carry out the wish of the people. Trials of criminals before many of the courts have been farces and failures. Judges and witnesses have been intimidated, officers of the law bribed, and the whole proceedings relating to tho trials of murderers have been under the control of them and their friends in many of the counties of southern Indiana. Is it to be wondered at therefore that occasional ebolitions of feeling have arisen at this state of affair^ and manifested by the tragical affairs so often reported. But for all this, the people themselveg are to^plame. They have had it in their power to elect men to office who would do their duty fearlessly at all times. Their failure to do this has created distrust and the organization of cruel, unfeeling mobs who trample on the laws and commit crimes which are a lasting disgrace to the State. Mobs for the last decade are much less heard of than before down there. From this we may conclude that better men are filling tho offices, a ereater respect for the law is growing, and that crime will be much less frequent.

INCREASING JUDGES' SALARIES, To those who believe in economy and retrenchment in public expenditures the action of Judgo Knight, of Brazil in increasing the salaries of tho Circuit and Supreme Judges of Vigo county from $3,000, the old rate, to $1,000, must be received by the thinking people of that county with considerable indignation. In spite of a protest against an increase of tho salary of these Judges as indicated by action of the county commissioners and other interested parties, the additional cost to the people was ordered. It was not that there was any necessity for this increase, not that there would be an improved service for the additional expense, but simply perhaps, that the new law allows such increase on certain conditions. It seems to have been a certain "cheek by Jowl" movement all around, and now if the Brazil Judge desires his salary raised the Vigo Judges will, if within the bounds of possibility aid him in having it done. Tho commissioners of Vigo county have taken an appeal to the Supreme court from this last decision, but judging from the general course in matters of this kind ws would not want to wager much on the chances of their winning. Tho tax payers must whistle while the other fellows dance, even if at an additional cost of SI,000 or $2,000 a year.

OPE¥WSUNDAYS.

Those pious cranks who feared so much wickedness and demoralization, Satan and sin, if the World's Fair were opened on Sundays, may "continue on in their lamentations. The managers of tho fair have determined, beginning with to-morrow, to keep the grounds and buildings open every Sunday from now on until the close of the fair. 'The sensible thinking people of the country, not imbued with too much fanaticism and false pietv, will consider this movement perfectly propc, and of vast benefit to the people. The great majority of Btrangers remaining over Sunday in Chicago will now visit the fair to their advantage, and instead of spending tho day in saloons, bawdy houses, or plc :es of evil resort will be found where they can ree and learn much of advantage to them.

THEODOHF. THOMAS, director of the musical department of the World's Fair, has been requested to resign, the reason assigned boing that he is aiding in advertising the piano of a manufacturer not an exhibitor. Thomas, as moit first-class musicians are, is undoubtedly a first-clasB crank to which he seems to have added the desire to expand hia pocket book through means not fair and honorable to say the least.

No MORE consuls to bo appointed from Indiana is the w«rd from Washington. Now let the numerous colony from this state hanging around Washington City since the inauguration show self respect enough to return home, get down to active business pursuits and abandon office seeking permanently.

THE SPOILS AT TERttE HAUTE. The late contest at Terre Haute over the postofiice was simply nothing more nor less than a wrangle over spoils—between the ins and outs—in which the formor were defeated. And the republican newspapers need not appear so indignant over what they term the "disgraceful scandie" for place. It is useless for that party to assume a virtue which it does not possess. "Disgraceful scan dais" were every day affairs with that party when in power. The machine could not turn out democrats from office one-half as speedily as was desired after Harrison was inaugurated. Their entire party for years has been held together solely by "the cohesive power of public plunder." Their "groat war governor," O. P. Morton, was great solely in proportion tu his ability to appoint men of his party to positions whore they could live oil of the government and accumulate "spoils." That was about all there was magnetic about, him. A large part of Harrison's greatness was founded on his ability to dole out offices to his henchmen, and when scores of his followers ascertained there was nothing for them he sank very rapidly in their estimation, In the postofiice illuddlo at Terre rtaute, Greiner the republican post master and his underlings who had been living off the government hated deeply and sincerely to let go. The outs determined they should and forced them out.much to their sorrow and indignation, and are now in possession. Hence these demonstrations on the part of the republicans and their wails for the enforcement of tho civil ser/ice law. Out you hypocrites! You deceive no one bj' your slush. You have simply been defeated at your own schemes, and are now indignant over the turn of events. The hustling out of the democratic postmaster four years ago at Terre Haute was much more satisfactory to you than the affair of last week.

Mit. CAMPBELL,a new member of the council, and not in, any way connected with the little rings and cliques of tho council, is a member of-the committee on electric lights. He has an excellent opportunity now to do something of interest to the tax payers in a rigid investigation of the entire electric light business BO far as the city is concerned. There is a very general opinion that a mine of corruption can be exposed under the determined investigation of an honest business man. Let us havo it. Let us find who has been making money off of the tax payers by disreputable schemes. Mr. Campbell can in his new position inform tho people if he is so disposed.

WHILE the cutting down of city officials' salaries was clearly a piece of spite work, it is nevertheless a step in the direction towards economy and in the interest of the tax payers. The salaries as now standing are just the same as they were eight years ago. They were enough then and are enough now, and if incumbents are dissatisfied there is no law preventing them from resigning.

TOM TAGGERT, chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, it is said, will be a candidate for Auditor of State. He is well worthy of tho nomination, is a splendid organizer, a thorough business man, and politically Jis as strong as any man in the party in!J Indiana.

The New Great South American Kidney Cure. The acknowledged superior cure and immediate relief for all derangements, painfulness and decay of the kidneys or bladder, Bright's disease, diabetes or any complaint that hurts or despoils either of these dolicate organs. This new remedy has been thoroughly tested by learned physicians and found far superior to any medicine yet discovered for quickly relieving all weaknesses, aches, pains and distresses arising from diseases of any part of the urinary passages. It is a great relief for the old, middle aged and children, malo or female. It relieves at once retention and pain in passing water, and it is very effective in relieving prostratio troubles in the old, and for nightly incontinence of water in children, or others, caused by weakness of the bladder. It may be worth to many a hundred timeB its cost. This is a remedy of great value to ladies, because they are very liable to weakness and painB peculiar to their Bex.
