James J. Redstreake IS disposed 70 con-
tinue the controversy with tho jury in the
Hannah Whitesell forgery case. andis WELD
ing a caustic quill in his own behalf. So
far as the guilt or innocence Of tile fair de-
PENDANT in that Indictment is concerned he
would seem to have the right of the matter.
No one who heard the trial could reasona-
bly, question that the defendant fraudulent
ly uttered forged notes to Mr. Redstreake
and received the cash therefor, but the
jury seemed to 90 upon the idea that Red
streake was the only sufferer, and that he
deserved what lie got in the loss Of Lis
money. So far as his part Of the transac-
ton was concerned he certainly is not en-
titled to much sympathy. 4 man who
would, on good paper, as hc supposed this
to be, exact or accept a Shave Of 500,
on $3.50, from a poor widow, as he under
stood Mrs. Whitesell to be. who was try
ing to raise money to lift a mortgage from
her home, is certainly not entitled to much
commiseration if for any reason he loses the
''snap'' entirely. But there is another
view of this case which the jury evidently
did not take. 1t was not Redstreake's
case. but the case of the people against one
who, woman though she was, had com
mitted a gross offense against the law and
against society. The men whose names
were forged to the notes issued had some
interest in the matter; other men whose
names and credit might prove a tempta-
ton to other forgers in the future had an
interest in the matter. The offence of
forgery has a tendency TO destroy conf
dence in commercial paper, upon the un-
hampered circulation Of which business
largely depends, and 50 every business man
had an interest in the matter, but the les
son of the verdict was practically; IF
you want to raise money On forged paper
select an unpopular man on whom to pass it
and you may repeat the performance as
often as you please" . The lesson is a bad one.
The case makes a wrong precedent. 1t is
noticeable that in the lengthy reply Of one
OF the %jurymen to 2edstreake's first STRIFE
ture upon them, he nowhere expresses a
belief in Mrs. Whitescll's innocence, and
does not seek to defend the verdict on that
ground, knowing, probably, how utterly UNI
tenablo it was, but seeks TO justify himself
and his fellows by the shortcomings of the
prosecutor, which had no legitimate con-
nection with the point at issue. However
-jurymen do not as a rule part with much
Of their thurman natur' when they enter
the jury box.

Ii IS charged against us by
some of our slowgoing. unsuc-
cessful. credit-buying neighbors.
that we buy and sell too cheap,
and thereby lessen profits and
demoralize business to such an
extent as to drive them to des-
peration. This seems to us to
be a matter that concerns two
parties only-ourselves and our
customers-and as long as the
latter don't complain and we can
stand it, we don't see that it is
anybody else's business. 1t is
our duty to serve the public as
cheaply as we can. consistent
with good quality. If others
can't OF won't sell as cheaply,
either by reason Of inability to
buy advantageously or greed for
profits. that is their misfortune,
and not our fault.
Another charge is that we are
too successfIl-getting along
too fast, and all that sort O
thing. Did we not serve our
customers faithfully, we might
not have been so successful, but
would, like some of our compel
itors who now seek to law us
out of existence, have been,
after a quarter century of bus
mess experience, even worse off
than in the beginning. -

This town needs some protection against
fire. The alleged apparatus Nc now have
on hand IS worse chan nothing, for tie
reason that while Intellectual itself. it
stands in the way Of obtaining anything
better. The present Borough Council,
or that part Of them who were concerned
in the purchase Of the Reliance, are, Of
course, bound TO maintain, against all the
world. that il IS a model Of efficiency. By
and-by. perhaps, they viii open their eyes
to what everybody else has seen long ago.
that it is mo good. It viii be only by
the light Of a big fire, however, that they
will be able to see it. Even if the Reliance
was perfect in its operation, it would be
useless for the want Of a water supply. Ii
the machine was effective, there is not a
well in town that would supply it for 90
minutes when properly manned. The mill
pond might do if you could only move the
mill pond to such parts Of the town as oc-
casion might require, but you can't.
When the Council gets through having
about four feet of sidewalk, perhaps they
will turn their attention to more pressing
needs.
