j THE NEW YORK OUTLOOK.Just about time thlng3 are looking

v>r> for the. Democrats, some demagoguerises up, says the Staunton Xews, anddoes some fool thing that plunges the oldparty under water again. Everything,

continues the News, was in fine shape forthe fail's contest until Killput into theNew York State platform a plank pro- Ividi::g forthe 'seizure of all the anthracitecoal mines in the country, and for operat-ing them en government account. .

These remarks of our contemporary lead jto 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— haV.repudiated.repudiat-ed the demagogic . and un-Dcmccratic !plank of the Xcv/ York platform the News'referrs to, and, moreover, the settlementof tho. strike has practically killed thoproposition as an irsuc. Further than that,it should be remembered that the recentTammany meeting at which Hillput tar-iff revision to the front, as the supremequestion, showed that tho Democrats ofNow Ycrk wore more thoroughly unitedthan 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 JudgeGoodrich, 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 weremoro anxious to destroy. r.acu other" tnanto conic at the truth, and that JudgeEarl, of the New York Court of Appeals,

has concluded that "it Is generally saferto take the judgment:-; of unskilled jurors

than the opinion of hired experts." JudgeCohen, of New Tori:,- think?. Judge. AYooflrward 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 JudgeTitus, of Buffalo. "the present system :sabsolutely immornl . in its tendency."

Judge "Woodward also quotes his ownobservation? from:the bench in a recentcase, that ro great are becoming the.abuses of expert testimony that if Ihej"

be not checked, it seems likely"a reactionmust corse that will abolish such testi-mony altogether." The opinions of thejurists the learned writer cite:; as well :tr»

his Citation frcm nis owji deliverancefrom the. bench, hud reference to the"scandal"' of \u25a0\u25a0medical experts "swearingagainst each omer in the ranie case onIhe fame facts," but he urges that i.io.

Dut .despiteiall the objections to experticntintony Judge Vfoodwcrd admits that"opinion "evi&c-nce" has standing "in en-lightened jurisprudence .and thereforerhc«ld not be abolished." Hence sug-

Then following that indisputable state-ment our contemporary refers to "the va-rious scandals that have come out ofP.ichir.ond recently," cites thq unquestion-able f.-.et tact the report of the grandjury J;c3 "left members or the Cour.eitunder a oloucl," and ;:dclc:

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 ifyou please— and when

not suffering, "involuntary servitude forthe. State" ;hc was a most unpleasantneighbor. And yet there was a v.-omanwho loved him—but that is another story-,

Just now the most interesting things

about the self-slain desperado .are thetwo 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

ithe production of a man about to die.|Here it is:! "Treat me light,and fair, repprt'ers.'for Iara a square men." a Socialist, :ir.d

decidedly in favor of woman's right?.Bryan ia the brightest man these UnitedSinter, have over produced. His one mis-take is Innot coming cut for all the peo- ipic and absolute Socialism. 1 Come out,Bryan:

"There is no ouch thing as a. personal

1 God. God is universal, and Iknow himjwell 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 fromme. y~So crocodile, tears wanted. Kc-pcrlers. bo my friends.— Burn me up.—

j Jim Younger." '

j As a guide to the psychological studentsI 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 towhat is colloquiallyknown as "newspaper

i roasts,*? but to tho ]".roccf? cf \u25a0 cremation.Jim wcnlcd lo be incinerated, but forsome reason they vrcnt ahead ::nd buriedhim in p'lin.every-Cay fashion, with ap-propriate funeral, services and a sok'.en-tilJed "Kc-Et, Jlcavy Heart."

V.'hile we arc net prepared to explainwhy the poor.-- wretch wrcie ."bout rciig-

first lino shows that hn regard- .1 the re- jporters as no in?ig::i!lcant mortals— as Ipeople capable of doing a. kindly act. In:«;;e coirj"i;i:iic3tio;i, lie suys: "'J'rcLJt. me 1right and fair, reporters." In another hoadds: \u25a0 "Reporters, be my fricsiCs."

And we fancy the jouriialisls' men did jwhat was asked,;so fcr as the facts; justi-

ikd. There's maiiy a kind heart a-thump-ing in the -newspaper offices of our landevery night from S P. M.:to 4 A;VIC—notto mention the boys on the afternoonsheets— and tho Satanic feat of "burningpeople up" is by no mennsVonfincd tothe brethren of the fourth estate. V.>
