should be refused, and the appeal should not
be heard in the Appellate Court except for
IN abuse Of this discretion, and where It Is
manifest that had the ruling Of the trial
Court been different, the result would have
been different, the new trial should be
granted. .
In q very large percentage Of new trials
granted BY the trial Court, or by q reversal
Of tho judgment on appeal, the errors conn
planned Of, had the ruling Of the Court been
~ asked by the defendant, would have made
no difference in the result. It should be
made to appear reasonably certain that harm
was done by the error to justify . new trial,
and the rule Of the Courts that wherever
error has occurred the presumption of harm
has been done, unless It clearly appear to
the contrary, is too strong . rule, and one
which has served to defeat the ends of justice
no little, and by its change there is no dan
ger of the innocent suffering.
Should it be suggested that the changes in
our Code I have pointed out would be a
dangerous departure from present rules, to
clothe the Courts with such discretion,
have to say that, as the prosecution occupies
1 very different attitude to the case to what
the accused does, the former having 40 In
.terest to have justice done, and the latter to
secure m acquittel at all hazards, and IS the
prosecuting attorneys and Judges are law
yers, who have been proverbial for their
jealous regard for The rights of the accused,
there is little danger of an abuse of = dis
erection placed In their power.
The object of oil prosecutions is, to secure
. fair trial to the accused, and the Code to
furnish ! cheap as possible and convenient
mode of bringing on these trials-not n
means of affording the guilty a chance fol
escape, but to convict them, and shield the
Innocent. Whatever is s%uper1uous, or is
hinderance to that cad, is wrong in q Code
however long it may have been sanctioned
by usage. ""~
In an article of this character it would be
impossible to formulate in detail all the re-
CURED changes in the Code, or to be perfect
in what / have set out, and all I have sought
is to bring the matter to the attention of thu
people who have the power to make oil
changes, and particularly to the attention o
the Bar of the Territory, for consideration
and legislation. R.

0 Freight Rates.

NEW YORK, July Ga general stampede
of freight rates was effected yesterday by
way of rail and lake to Chicago. Rates were
subjected to a general drop Of 80 cents in
first class, pa cents in second, 20 cents in
third, Is cents In fourth, ID cents in fifth, IL
cents in sixth. TIE lines all dropped stimuli
taneously. No one can assign any cause for
it further than . general decentralization of
freight business. Apparently the STRONG
lines, particularly the New York Central
and Pennsylvania, have won the battle
against the weaker roads by destroying all
their diferential business.

the Missoula Item, a bright little Daily

NJ. Klein, we'll known newspaper men. The
paper is geographically IS "neat IS a pin,'
and its articles are short, crisp and incisive.
If it takes as long for daily papers to get TO
Missoula from other points, as it does for
Missoula Or Bitter Root papers to get here,
the Item has about two days the best of any
outside competition on its daily, and ought
to be ? good Investment. We wish the new
paper prosperity.

Upon the authority Of more than one cam
paign biography, the World has been led to
make the statement that Gen. Ben. Hsrri-
son left the army to accept the position Of
supreme court reporter in Indiana. As =
matter of fact, it seems that Gen. Harrison
entered the army as captain Of Company A,
Of the 10th Indiana regiment, in July, 1852,
and was mustered out with his command at
the close of the wal. He was elected to
the civil Office referred to in 1864, but did not
enter upon the discharge of his duties until
the close of the war. The army record of
Gen. Harrison is first. class. The World
aims to deal only with facts. It is not al
ways al easy matter to obtain them when
the demon Of politics is abroad in the land.

HOW CHINESE WILL COMPETE?

The San Francisco Chronicle says the
Chinese Minister was too smart for Secretary
Bsyard, that the Chinese treaty Is it is
at present will not exclude Cinnamon from
our shores; and that the Pacific Coast de-.
mands amendment of the treaty and neces-
sary legislation to make it effective. Further
than this it says, admitting the treaty is
effective and the Democratic policy of free
trade or reduced tariff is carried into effect,
the purpose of the treaty would be nullified.
What use would it be to exclude the Chinese
and admit their cheaply made products in
competition with those of American labor?
To quote:
But admitting for arguments sake that the
treaty is perfection and that it may operate
to exclude Chinese, of what use will it be if
the free trade notions Of the Democratic
party are carried out in the United States?
If the cheap foreign products of which that
party is SO much enamored a1e to be admit
ted duty free, what use will II be to exclude
Chinese? We invited them here under .
serious misapprehension of the effect of their
coming, and they came. They have staid
here long enough to become masters of nu-
merous mechanical arts and manufactures,
and now we propose to send them back to
China. That is all right, but is it to be sup
posed that they will drop their American
taught mechanical skill at the Golden Gate
and not put into practice in China what We
have been so obliging as to teach them here?
Let us figure this thing out q little to show
the hollowness of the Democratic pretense
that the Chinese question is settled. We
send back to China q contingent of skilled
boot and shoe-makers. When they get back
they find capitalists 10 set them up in business
there. They pay their workmen about Is
cents q day, or even less, and they turn out
boots and shoes just precisely as they are
now doing here. The freight On such pro-
ducts from China to California would not
amount to one cent on q pair Of boots. Is it
not apparent that in q year it could drive
every San Francisco boot and shoe factory
ont of the business?
What, then, is to prevent? A wise pro-
vision Of that m~uch-abused legislative en-.
actment called the tariff, which Is it now
stands imposes an ad valorem duty of 30 per
cent. on manufactures of leather. This is
the barrier to the food Of rauper labor-made
boots and shoes which Chinese ingenuity
would propel upon our shores. This is the
wall which divides cheap foreign labor from
well. paid American labor. This Is the wall
which the Democratic party would pull
down, all the time insisting that it does not
mean free trade, and that it is acting in the
interests of American workingmen. A year
or two of such devotion to the cause of
labor, and the American ~workingman would
be q thing Of the past.

From Fourth Of July address at Harlem, N. =.
In truth, the conflict between the many
Who toll and the few who gather, IL m ire
pressible conflict. The history Of mankind,
from the fall Of Adam to the last Chicago
convention, is mainly the history Of sell. love
and self-deception. l should be sorry t.
think that the Republicans of the United
States, Judged by the rule Of individual aver
ages, are, by nature, less high-minded and
than the Democrats. They are not'
but 1 think it is . demonstrate proposition
that the Republican party has come to en-
body and represent all that 1t set out to
combat, when it took the field rs the pecu-
liar friend of the rights of man. Its original
aud exclusive title to chat charter might be
challenged If We should penetrate and ana
I'VE the ethics and evidence underlying the
case Of parties in equity. But I shall not
challenge it.. 1 shall admit that the fight
against African slavery was an honest fight
for liberty, aud that the war for the Union,
into which 1t %deepened, involved the fate OF
freedom and free institutions, not merely In
America, but throughout the world. Sur
veying the present state of the country, and
considering the triumphs in learning and In
histories, in arts and aims, already achieved,
and yet to be achieved by . united people, it
costs me nothing to say I am glad the side on
which l served in that war was unsuccessful;
though I cannot see how, the conditions be-
ing what they we're, the younger generation
of southern men could, when the ordeal OF
battle came, have done other than it did.
All interests, all passions, all thoughts were
absorbed by the one great sectional issue;
and Is on the one hand it begun q conscien-
tious struggle for liberty and union, 1t be-
came on the other hand An equally consclen-
tious defense of property and home. The
God of the Universe, building wiser than
the wisest, knew what was best. The chains
were stricken from the limbs Of the bond
men and the scales fell from the eyes Of the
masters. The guilt Of slavery, for which
both the North and the South were response
BILE, was explated in the blood of both.
The original cause of quarrel finally re-
/ moved, the law of nature, working through
m %ineradicable c%onsanguinity, began its
holy Office; and the angel that blessed rs
alike in our cradles-nor could distinguish
between the babe that clenched its tiny fists
at the Northern star and the babe that gazed
with wondering eyes upon the Southern
cross-cried out to the victor from the
heaven of An all-pervading peace:
s'You can not chain the eagle.
And you dare not harm the dove;
But every gate
You bar to hate
Will open wide to l0ve!"
Thank God, the voice of the angel was
heard; and here we are today perhaps the
better, certainly the stronger, because, when
the battle was ended, there was nothing left
to fight about; and, it may be also, because
we who, as the saying goes, failed to gel
there, are as proud of you as = little brother
can be of . big one; defying you only to be

WI yield largely Of our editorial space
this week to present the views of J. G. Rob-
inson, Esq, on the amendment of the
Criminal Code Of Montana. Certainly the
series of papers that have been presented
on this subject, Of which the one In this
issue is the conclusion, shows the code can
be simplided and made more subservient to
the ends of justice. Whether or not MI. Rob.
inson's suggestions are the best, he at least
has pointed out great defects and suggested
remedies. It remains to be seen IL Montana
will heed them. While the bar may be
financially benefited by delay and uncer.
tainty In the administration of the laws rs
the code now is, we vet believe the lead
ing attorneys of Montana, If they see demerit
10 existing conditions, and that 3 change
may be made for the more speedy and GER
tain administration Of justice, will exert
their influence in that direction. It is GER
tainly = matter of importance to oil. We
hope to see the subject agitated and i'm
pressed upon the public mind, that our leg
islators may have considered it we'll and be
prepared to act i%ntelligently if 1t should
come up at the next session. Our columns
are open to its discussion.

IT IS lntimated that the President favors
making California the theatre of an aggres.
sive campaign. The Republican leaders are
manlfesting considerable anxiety to get
started in their campaign. The hustle and
activity among the democrats has demon
strated to their minds that the nominations
now before the. country mean IN aggressive
aud determined contest from the word 60.
The subject has already been talked over in
formally, but until the National Committee
meets in July no definite plans can be sug.
gested. The general sentiment, however, is
in favor of making the objective points Of
Republican attack in Indiana, Connecticut
and New Jersey. New York is to be made
an independent field. An effort will be
made to carry the State, but not being indis.
pensable to Republican success the CHIEF
energy of the leaders will be concentrated
on the three States named.-Philadelphid
