LONDON, Aug. 5--A dispatch from CoDstan-
tinople is construed as giving the key to an
admission made in the House by Sir Stafford
Northcote, that another secret convention had
been made with Turkey. The dispatch says
the island Of Tidenas is to be ceded to Eng
iand. This is thought to be in compliance
with the second convention referred to.
It is evidently the intention Of the English
government to control the Irish by liberating
the few remaining Fenians.
The education act is construed as an indica-
ton that Earl Beaconsted conternplates

A POPULAR German author, no less
than Auerbach himself, In his recent
novel of "Landolin," exposes the in
justice of some laws in that country re-
lating to criminal offensesp Landolin,
the hero, is described as an ex-bailif,
who stands high in the estimation Of
his neighbors,r and prides himself on
his superiority and social position. In
IN angry dispute with a mar much be-
meath him in station, Landolin strikes
and kill him. Auerbach proceeds to
make a strong argument against dis
tinction OF classes, and the injustice of
allowing the hero to go free on account
Of his position and influence. He also
makes it clear to the reader that no
twelve men are capable of judging the
innocence or guilt of a man. In this
case the jury was influenced by class
distinction, and passed the verdict of
not guilty when they knew Landolin
to be the murderer. The recent CON-
munistic demonstrations in Germany
and the attempted assassination
of the Emperor William, may pos
sibly have been influenced by these
grave errors in the criminal and social
laws Of the Empire, if they really exist,
as there is a to believe that they
do. The world will yet learn that tc
prevent crime, criminals must be held
amenable to just laws, and punished ir
accordance with the gravity of the of
fence committed, without regard t
their social or political influence. The
sentimental opposition to capital pun
ishment which has been growing fol-
several decades is to be held response
bic, no doubt, for a large proportion Of
the increase of reckless crime in this
and other countries. aTtN.
