Just about time thlng3 are looking v>r> for the. Democrats, some demagogue rises up, says the Staunton Xews, and does some fool thing that plunges the old party under water again. Everything, continues the News, was in fine shape for the fail's contest until Kill put into the New York State platform a plank pro- I vidi::g forthe 'seizure of all the anthracite coal mines in the country, and for operat- ing them en government account. . These remarks of our contemporary lead j to the conclusion on its part that "llili's ticket will not be elected"— that is. that the Democrats cf .the Umpire State [ are doomed to defeat in the ensuing elec- | tion. We hope and believe that, our contem- porary takes a too pessimistic view of ! the outlook. Colcr,: thy head of the ticket j —the nominee for Governor— ha V.repudiated. repudiat- ed the demagogic . and un-Dcmccratic ! plank of the Xcv/ York platform the News' referrs to, and, moreover, the settlement of tho. strike has practically killed tho proposition as an irsuc. Further than that, it should be remembered that the recent Tammany meeting at which Hill put tar- iff revision to the front, as the supreme question, showed that tho Democrats of Now Ycrk wore more thoroughly united than in years. to the conclusion that Its abuses are so patent an«i flagrant as to call \u25a0imperative- lyfor n remedy. In .leading to his con- clusion ho given ;:« historical review of the subject. The ucc of expert testi- ... . - . - _ \u25a0 mony he points out is as' old as -"Anglo- Saxon, or rather Anglo-Xorrr.an. juris- prudence": but such testimony, he Fays, has always been in disrepute and in later years the disrepute of the expert has in- creased, owing to his more frequent em- ployment. As evidence of this Judge "Woodward tells us that Presiding Judge Goodrich, of Brooklyn, recently spoke of "r:aid experts" who swore for or against "the sanity of a prisoner according to the amount of their fee": that Justice Adams'; \u25a0of Carandaigua. expressed the opinion in a. care before him that "'experts were moro anxious to destroy. r.acu other" tnan to conic at the truth, and that Judge Earl, of the New York Court of Appeals, has concluded that "it Is generally safer to take the judgment:-; of unskilled jurors than the opinion of hired experts." Judge Cohen, of New Tori:,- think?. Judge. AYooflr ward state?, that, .is a rule, "puch testi- mony is quite :\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 vaiucjess.** and a long ar- ray of the highest authorities is presented k> show that, in the la::s;:ase cf Judge Titus, of Buffalo. "the present system :s absolutely immornl . in its tendency." Judge "Woodward also quotes his own observation? from:the bench in a recent case, that ro great are becoming the. abuses of expert testimony that if Ihej" be not checked, it seems likely "a reaction must corse that will abolish such testi- mony altogether." The opinions of the jurists the learned writer cite:; as well :tr» his Citation frcm nis owji deliverance from the. bench, hud reference to the "scandal"' of \u25a0\u25a0medical experts "swearing against each omer in the ranie case on Ihe fame facts," but he urges that i.io. reed of reform; is "quite .as strenuous •TTJiOiV^: r>r^fe. c r:cr!al handwriting ex- perts'"—the class of experts, as our reader-.-" know, who have figured .to prominently in the Mnlin'cux rzsc-. and on whose testi- mony fo m;:ch has turned., Dut .despiteiall the objections to expert icntintony Judge Vfoodwcrd admits that "opinion "evi&c-nce" has standing "in en- lightened jurisprudence .and therefore rhc«ld not be abolished." Hence sug- ncc;.'; that much is to be said in favor of :> paid examining board, composed of the lender? of each scientific .-"guild or prof cssior.V who r.halT n:a!:e up lists of those who ihay . be properly called ::•> rxpt,»:-;-r.

' In this.' day- and generation when our - iiratlablc ' curiosity' frequently demands ' j "psychological studies" for the satisfac- '.< tion of our minds.: it might bo' well to ' consider the case of the late Jim.Young- ' cr. criminal; paroled convict, and suicide, who shufllcd off •\u25a0thin mortal coil in, Mis- souri. Jin was a had man— a picturesque- ly wicked bravoi if you please— and when not suffering, "involuntary servitude for the. State" ; hc was a most unpleasant neighbor. And yet there was a v.-oman who loved him—but that is another story-, Just now the most interesting things about the self-slain desperado .are the two ante-;hortcm letters he wrote. They are strongly erratic, weirdly cynical and | grewnomely flippant; Read tho first/: rc : i membering at the came time that it is i the production of a man about to die. | Here it is: ! "Treat me light, and fair, repprt'ers. 'for I ara a square men." a Socialist, :ir.d decidedly in favor of woman's right?. Bryan ia the brightest man these United Sinter, have over produced. His one mis- take is In not coming cut for all the peo- i pic and absolute Socialism. 1 Come out, Bryan: "There is no ouch thing as a. personal 1 God. God is universal, and I know him j well and am not afraid." j On the outside of- the envelope contain- ing his /last mc-.«?o.ge was found the ". fol- ! lov.-Ing from the morbidly jocund dcs- J pei'ado: J "All, relations ,ii:st stay away from me. y ~So crocodile, tears wanted. Kc- pcrlers. bo my friends.— Burn me up.— j Jim Younger." ' j As a guide to the psychological students I who undertake to "construe" these mes- sages from a liian; on the brink of the I ! grave, it should be said that the closing words, "burn me up," Co not apply to what is colloquially known as "newspaper i roasts,*? but to tho ]".roccf? cf \u25a0 cremation. Jim wcnlcd lo be incinerated, but for some reason they vrcnt ahead ::nd buried him in p'lin. every-Cay fashion, with ap- propriate funeral, services and a sok'.en- tilJed "Kc-Et, Jlcavy Heart."

And we fancy the jouriialisls' men did j what was asked,;so fcr as the facts; justi- ikd. There's maiiy a kind heart a-thump- ing in the -newspaper offices of our land every night from S P.
