Noting 1S Juster in life than that high skill and wledige are entitled 10 high rewards," but the Thaw case] makes it clear that these eminent or notorious lawyers and physicians were not practising law or medicine in ac cordance with any true conception of the professions, but were rather en- gaged in a desperate and contemptible gape of buccaneering, to the disgrace oi 'any profession and in violation of the codes of ethics of all professions. It 1s, however, not surprising that harpies of all kinds should have de scended upon' the wretched Thaw. he whole trial, including the deiaeanor of the courts, must he viewed by any de- cent standards not as a trial mm a sacred court of justice, but as a sor- did and degrading financial transac tion. The trial was a Bowery melo- drama, the only virtue of which was to lay bare some dangerous traves- ties upon the administration of the law in 'tite United States. Nothing can be more dangeroils or corruptin in its influence upon American life than a 'Fhaw trial, which advertises to the world the fact that a dissolute criminal may buy his way around the gallows into an asylum if he only has money enough. Ii good may come of evil the good CAN'T WIN THIS TIME. The rumour was, some time ago, that Mr. Borden was willing to copy the premier of Canada in one remark- able respect. He would accept the al- liance of -the tory provincial premiers in, New Brunswick, Ontario, Manitoba, and British' Columbia, and, if sue- cessful in the election, would offer them places in his cabinet. The pre- mier of British Columbia announced, soon afterwards, that: so far as he was concerned, he would remain provincial politics. The premier of Manitoba is probably of the same mind, though willing to use all the machinery he controls to aid his friends in the federal election. The premier of New Brunswick was very to have it understood that he was an independent and would ap- preciate the support of all indepen- dent men in the local election. He is ready to tour the province in behalf of Mr. Borden, but that is the limit. What of Sir James Whitney ?
