DESERTED BY THEIR GOD. It ig difficult to pecount for the fall We reflect upon this matter as we read that Mr. Newton, COTTIIITIINTR e counsel, has been debarred from the practice of his profession for a year. What was his offence? le caught the pr for advertising himself and notorious prisoner, eaught *it from the Americans, per: hips had it conveyed to his blood by - in art, of publicity. Crippen was an American subject, and American friends, with more money than sense, undertook to help him in his defence. Mr. Newton, 'the English counsel, up to this time, had pursued the digni- fied course prescribed for the English moment, he became of some men. passion his American practitioner and one skiil- bar. In an evil American money, got into the hme { light and lied while he talked of him- {myself and the ill-omened Crippen. The | judges and the English bar vindicated and Mr. Newton, in year, will have, of his unprofessional their homours, obscurity for a ' purge himself to sins, What happened to Mr. Reilly, one of |New York's distinguished counsel ? He {wus a star in his profession. He com- {manded the largest fees. He was a | eriminal lawyer, beginning in the dis- {trict attorney's office and gradually working himsel up until his services were -in del , virtually at any price. No. one knows 'better the heinousness of erime. He had dealt with it in all its aspects. And yet he, in a moment of weakness, stood in with a crook and undertook to pro- fit by the.sale of bouds that - had been stolen. And down he went, lower and further than any one can imagine, for to-day he is a convict, a ber smirched and ruined man.

The Ottawa Citizen, which is: edited Morrison; who knows whereof he speaks, the emergency pay: of the He traces the course which has been fol the militia department in the demand for increased pay from 50c. to §l1 per day, in a threes years" service, but with a con- dition that somehow few men can ful. fil -that he does target practice an- nually and oceasiona.ly hits the bulls- eve. Col. Morrison says this target practice is not exacting. It is such as almost any small boy should pass. Indeed the intention was to raise the standard so that eventually "the first-class efficiency map would be able to show some rudimentary skill with the weapon with which he is armed." And the surprise was the really large percentage of cavalry and infan- try who could not pass even this simple test. They did not want to improve. They simply clamoured for more pay, $1 a day at least, whether they could shoot or not. The small pay has been the cause assigned by some of the officers for the small com- mands, and for their inability to turn out for drill. The trouble lies, il is assumed, more or less with the ofticers, with the manner in which some of them have been qualified, and with the indifference with which tar- get practice has been performed. "In many cases Lhe ammunition has been fired away, and wasted. The Citizen hag a suggestion. It the troops in any case, even when they have to fire on a range, be given a tactical scheme to work out, ending with a deployment for action and, an advance against the targets in attack formation. "It would be unnecessary' says the Citizen, ' to attempt to take but the number of whole by Col. discusses average volunteer. lowed by is that cach man's score, hits that the regiment as a registered on the targets should count to the credit of the regiment. In. this way a spirit of competition would be evoked, not among individuals, but among the regiments training at any given camp. A regimental spirit would be aronsed in these preparatory practices, and the shooting would greatly be improved." What is more, the Citizen thinks the shooting would be the better if the regimental spirit were cultivated. Each man could be given, as now, a certain amount of ammunition, and he could use it as the targets are advanced up- on, the regiment being credited with the hits made in order that the men may draw their efficiency pay. The low, and later raised until good work could be assured. And the meaning of this is every man in the regiment would: be interested in the target prac- tice and anxious to raise the stan- dard of it. The final thought is radi cal enough. "If considered advisable, the command pay of officers might be withheld in whole og in part, if they did. not bring their regiment up to the average." The smallness "of some of the regiments in camp this year should call for &n enquiry. There should be an investigation at once in. to conditions which somehow are far from satisfactory. NOTES.

In the old days hen' the Lampman played the game, here would kiave been no doubt as to he rdsult, for the rules were better nown. years ago than they are to- day by amateurs.
