It Is better than , law. It Is especially superior to special legis lation. AH soon as the educational lystems of the Slates are eomprehen- ilve enough to draw all classes and conditions of people within their Inllu- ences we will have the nearest approach preach to a millennium that can be pbtnlned by mortal means. Great pro * press has been made and Is still going pn. Compulsory education Is thu only kind of paternalism that Is tolerable un- Icr our most benellcent system of a Union of States. The present generation of men , trown wise In Its day , has awakened to it reulb.it llou that all reformatory meas- 1 arcs will bo Ineffective for the regenera j tion of the human race so long us little chlldrenare _ left to the evil IntluenceH f u vlcfous environment , to Ignorance und poverty and the harsh judgments > f the law. The embryo vHl/.en lies in the cradle ; his deHtlny In life Is usually limped before he Is out of knlckerbock- > rs. If remedial agencies do not step In ivhlle his mind Is still plastic and Im pressionable the world can only retrain - train and In limited measure direct his energies In later .vicars , without urn- lorinlly altering the character , the sen timents or the alniH of the man. \ It has well nigh come to the pass iFbere the last will and testament of to man Is proof against assault. The Kills of the most able and distinguish- rd lawyers are broken with apparently is mud ) ease as those of the most un learned persons. Tim reversal of liiu tvlll of Samuel , ! . Tilden was a notable example of this evil tendency. It Is cu- - tlous ho\v the disposition of n testator ) b be public-spirited and philanthropic ks Interpreted by .sclllsh heirs as lui evl- lence of weakness or as the result of "undue inlluences , " and It Is amazing how common It Is for this natural Im pulse of noble and liberal minds to bo tonstrued In the courts as proof of Im becility or dementia. It Is truly deplor- Iblo that Huch a view of altruism can fee upheld. In April , 1000Vllllam l-\ Miller , of Brooklyn , was sent td the penitentiary. He was connected with the Franklin lyndlcatc , which offered Investors .VJO per cent Interest a year. That rati ons pnldUora time , but It was. paid out f the receipts. When they became In , ; ufflclent ttie concern went to smash , h syndicate wa u swindle and Its organizers were swindlers , deserving of punishment. Hut Miller Is to have anew now trial. The court holds that while ho was undoubtedly guilty of grand larceny In ono of Its forms ho was not guilty In the form charged In thu trial court. In the Indictment upon which ho was convicted It was charged that ho wan guilty of common law larceny and of grand larceny as n breach of truat. The District Attorney elected to try the case on the count of common law Inrcony. Hut according to the Ap- pcUato Division the defendant should have been tried on a charge of obtain ing money by false pretenses irlth In tent to defraud ( lie plaintiff of her property. Common law larceny "must bo accomplished by trespass or trick , " wtillc the plaintiff surrendered her money to Miller voluntarily , nays the Chicago Tribune. Substantial Jusllco woo done In this case , and yet the court because of that love of technicalities which possesses too many Judges has given him a now trial and put the State to further expense on his account. One of the strangest features of th general run of humanity Is gullibility. It would seem nt times as If the people enjoy the sensation of being awlndled out of their monoy. They buy of the corner faker or Invest In speculations they know almolutdy nothing about. And tlii > r trust mea when they conld not help knowing. If they would only stop HIM !

He kept up the gait till he had stolen $ . ' 55,000 , and then the crash came. People were surprised. Ills employers were shocked and pained , and promptly sent the young man to the penitentiary. Every respectable precaution that will prevent men from stealing Is justified. Those who are honest cannot object , and the feelings of the others ore of llttlo mo-1 ment.

N The recent criticism in England of American-built locomotive * * will give more than ordinary Interest to the tests that have Just been made of the merits > of English and American locomotives on a railroad at Kingston , Jamaica. TJiese iv&lHj which are ctfni.'eJiil.ly sjg- ullk'iint because held under English auspices , resulted In a great vlclory forv the American locomotives , and demon strate liovond all eontrovpvMv tln > lr KM. . , - . . , , , l..w. . . . . perlor power and pulling capacity. The American locomotives drew 1U ( ! tons over the heaviest part of thu road In seven minutes under schedule time , while the English locomotives com pletely failed to pull the same load. Moro conclusive proof of greater strength and higher workmanship could not be presented. These tests call attention to some of the recent wonderful performances of some of the new types of American-built locomo tives. Unu of thesis now types , built by the Schenectady Works for the Ne\\ York Central , recently pulled thirteen heavy passenger coaches , weighing 1,000,000 pounds , at a speed of ( ! . ' ! miles an hour. Another one of these engines drew a passenger train of fifteen cars , ' Including four heavy sleepers and weighing 1,800,000 pounds , at a rale of 00 miles an hour. On another run , with u train of ten heavy passenger cars , these engines made 111 miles In 100 minutes. Such trains arc of course un known In Europe , and foreign engines I can hardly be said to be In the same j chins with the American. It Is not nu uncommon slghl for a New York Cen tral or hake Shore engine to pull trulim that are the equivalent In length and weight of eight or ten European trains. Last year American manufacturers j scut abroad , r > 0. > locomotives. In IS'.ll ) I we exported f H machines , and In ISDS fifi-1. The falling on" lu exports Is due to the Increased domestic demand.

Up to the present no trace lias been lound of the two girls who ran away from this pl'tce day before yesterday. .They were last seen at Sunnier about 10 o'o ock in the morning , and seem to li ve been out of sight since that time.

Miss Farrel wiote in u book at school "that she left home because she was not treated well at home , her parents not want ing her and it was no use to send the shcriir after her , as she would not return. " 7so cause has been assigned for the action of the Ahrcndt girl. T.hls story of the Farrel girl Is de clared to be false. The parents of bith girls are represented as being , in fi ct , too Indulgent , and their grief 11 to rible. They have the sympathy of the neighborhood. [ Not knowing the fate of girls so young , it is a great suspense to them.

The child attempted to light a toj lamp with a piece of paper , when In some manner the damns were com municated to her clot hit g. The moth er was attracted by her screams and hastened to her relief , smotheriny the llames with a blanket , not , how ever , until she had been so badly burned about the waist and head that her recovery seemed almost impossi ble. Fortunately none ot the dames were inhaled , and although consider- bale doubt exists the physician hopes for her recovery. I CliarKfil With Ini-ntt , 1 Callaway , Neb. , Dec. 7.
