CORONERS' INQUEgTS.
 The Stratford authorities are doing their
 best to discover the murderer of Rose Am of some of the other towns of the State in
 murder cases and have promptly employed
 detectives. No evidence has been obtained
 which furnishes ground for proceeding
 against anyone. Yet it does not appear that
 anything has been neglected. Much care
 seems to have been taken, ana great many
 theories and suggestions fruitlessly followed
 up, as is inevitable in every case enveloped
 in so much mystery. It seems to be settled
 that Rose Ambler's person was not violated
 and that she was killed by white man. Be-
 yond this nothing of importance has been
 brought to light.
 The authorities seem to suffer from the
 disadvantage of having all their suspicious
 and theories made public before they have had time to see whether they are justified by investigation. This is unquestfonably due in great measure to the fact that the investi- gatlon is carried on at a coroner's inquest. The physicians who made the post-mortem examination and everybody who has been suspected of knowing anything that might throw light upon the murder have been sum moned before the coroner's jury. The ses- sions of the jury have not, it is true, been open to the public, but the evidences given has in every instance leaked out as it is aI- ways pretty sure to do in any inquest. h. deed, coroner's inquest is a very clumsy method of conducting an investigation. It nTzI6 aoI1 ho I~,Ea good purpose it serves. The jury do not themselves investigate. It would be inaprop- CT for them to do so. They listen to the ev- idence which is discovered by others. Their duty Is simply to render verdict as to how the deceased came to his death. Nov what is the use of this verdict? It does not serve as justification for a prosecution. The officer may bring an infor,na- tion without regard to the verdict of the cor oner's jury, even though the verdict be of an accidental death. It is the province of the officer alone to determine whether the accused shall be arrested and that of the grand jury to decide whether he shall be prosecuted. It is hard to see, then, what purpose the verdict serves, unless it be to show that some person who has been sus- pected by the jury or the coroner without any kind of reason is innocent
 It would be far better if the investigation were conducted by the States attorney, or under his supervision. It could then be se- ,retly conducted. Its plans and discoveries would not be shared with half dozen 'leaky'' individuals, who have had no expe- fence with crime and whose judgment is of 10 assistance, and the final result could be l IrriVed at without injuring anyone by the 1 publication of immature and unwarranted | uspicions. The coroner's inquest is relic 1 If ruder times when there were no detectives, nd when it was the best, perhaps the only | means of ferreting out crime. At present it | 8 simply an expensive inconvenience.

REFOhMATION OF THE CAUCUS

1 That there is great need of the reforma
 tion of the caucus nobody who knows any
 thing about it's operations can deny. How l to reform it is, however, hard question Hon. Sherman s. Rogers of Buffalo, who ii an independent Republican and deeply in terested in political reforms, presents plan for making the caucus what it ought to be | which deserves attention.
 He. points out that the primary election must be brought up into the daylight and made thing of dignity and serious moment. So far as party action can accomplish this result the primary elections must be made State procedures. Citizens must be able to foresea their coming, and to arrange their matters of business and pleasure with refer ence to discharging their duty at the primary as conscientiously as they would at the general election, There should be not more than two caucuses in year one for delegates to the State con- vention, the other for delegates to the local nominating conventions This would re- lieve the people from the burden of many caucuses. If the same delegates were chosen to attend all the nominating conventions
 
 and power. If it were thought advisable to have delegates chosen to each convention, there would be no difficulty in doing so at one caucus. Alternates should also be chosen and the power of substitution abolished, The primaries should be held in each district in the State upon the same day. There should be no deviation from this, except perhaps to meet the exigencies of local charter elections In those cases the caucus should be on a day permanently fixed at suitable period before the elections. Suitable regulations of gen. eral nature, simple and plain, should be made as to the places for holding aad the or ganization and conduct of the primaries. But among other things it should be dig tinctly ordered that there be at least one primary in each election district, and if there be more than one polling place in the dis trict then as many primaries as there are polling places. The polls should be open from sunrise to sunset. All voting should be from poll lists, to be prepared as follows At every general election the party should have man stationed at each poll to register the voters precisely as the poll clerk does. As each voter passes away he should be asked If he wishes to register as a Republican voter. If he says "Yes," he should be so re- I corded, and the registry so kept should be the conclusive evidence of his right to vote at | all Republican caucuses in his district during l the ensuing year. It will show his name, his | residence, the fact that he has dared to vote, and therefore is in all probability 3 citizen, and that at least several months before he | appears at the primary he has publicly re- corded himsef as Republican
 This is a well arranged scheme, and much. can be said in it's favor. Whether the voters | would come out to such primaries any better than they do nov could only be- told by try ing. They would certainly have more in- 1ucement to than they have to attend the ring caucuses now.

. The Leopard a Lover of Dogs,

The leopard is dangerous antagonist, but | as rule, it does not aspire to larger victims than sheep and goats, the smaller varieties o deer and antelope, calves, and, above all dogs. Now, the poets. as Broome and Som erville, seem to think the leopard looks upon the dog as its natural master and conq1eror whereas the fact is that the leopard looks upon the dog az it's natural food. The leop. ards taste for dogs is certainly one of the most extraordinary phenomena in natural
 history. We say that cats like fish and that monkeys are fond of nuts, but these are
 mere passing whims caprices of the moment, compared to the constant passion of leopards for dogs It is a very Chinaman for it's de.
 light in puppy, for it will follow a man for
 miles like his shadow if dog be at his heels,
 and 1t will be very extraordinary dog in-
 deed if it does not at last give the leopard it's
 chance. The best of dogs sometimes com
 mits the indiscretion of lettering behind his
 master or running out of sight round 8 cor-
 ner in front of him, and if he does this with
 a leopard on his track, nothing more is ever
 seen of the dog, and nothing more heard of
 him but his last squeal as he is swiftly
 snatched up of the path and carried, with a
 sudden rustic of foliage, down the hillside.
 At night leopards will prowl round the tent,
 snifing under the canvas for the dog that
 they can smell, or, in the hill stations, will
 boldly come down among the houses and carry of the pet of the establishment,
 though servants may be moving about. It is on record that In the station of Gumsoor not single dog escaped, and nearly every resident of India who has ever camped out in the jungle where leopards are, or has lived in ''the hills" has had some tragic expert
 ence of this mania of the leopard for dogs. In about the @me degree, but obviously for very different reasons, the monkey takes the most profound interest in the leopard. and when one is afoet the four-handed folk fol. low him as closely as they dare, shaking the branches in their absurd rage, chattering fu- riously at their enemy, and making faces at him. Sometimes, however, the leopard stops abruptly and glares at them, and the wretched monkeys, gathering overhead, get 50 excited in their demonstrations that very often one of their number is pretty sure to lose it's balance and tumble conveniently into the Ieopard's mouth. tradition was once widely current that the panther was sweetly | scented-says Dryden: ''The panther's | breath was ever famed for sweet''-and that | his fragrance was so fascinating to some mall animals that it enticed them to their l leath in the jaws of the aromatic beast It | s fact, however, that the panther itself is | peculiarly sensible to perfumes and among l other instances is one of undeniable authen- | icity of panther being tanned with laven- Ter water.
