of justice by the delay. Human life is in
deed sacred, but the laudable effort to guard
it has gone beyond bounds. OF late years
the difficulty to convict, in murder trials
especially, has greatly increased from the
widened application of pleas notably that
of insanity. When a conviction has been
reached innumerable delays generally stav
the execution. The many grounds of excep
tion allowed to the counsel. the appeals from
one court to another, with final application
signatures for pardon are obtained. have
combined to throw around culprts an ex-
travagant protective system, and gone far to
rob jury trial Of its substance and efficacy.
A prompt execution of the laws sentence
after fair trial has been had Is that which

among US has brought reproach upon the ad
ministration of justice and given plausible
grounds for the application Of lynch law"

WOULD LIKE TO OWN CUBA.
The State Department Said To Be
Considering It's Purchase.

WASHINGTON, October 17.-When Minis
ter Palmer took his position as the repre-
sentative of the United States at the Court
of Madrid it was intimated here that his
first Important duty would be the negotiation
of reciprocity treaty between this country
and Spain. 1t is now asserted with much
force that he is engaged in much more i'm
portant matter. The State Department has
vigorously refused to give any additional
light upon the subject, but it is pretty well
known that the Department would like to
secure the purchase and possession of the
island Of Cuba. As long ago as Lincoln's
administration, the project of the anneXa-
tion of Cuba was seriously entertained. Sec
retary Blaine'S attention has been drawn to
paper prepared by Secretary Seward for
the purchase of the island. This paper also
contemplated the annexation of Cuba to the
State of Florida Whether or not the preS-
ent Secretary of State comedies with this
plan is not known. In this connection it is
interesting to recall the story circulated
some months ago that under certain circum-
stances this country would be willing to as
sumo proteetorate over Hayti. These
plans are in accord with Secretary Blaine's
known views that the domination and infiu-
ence of European powers ought to be re-
moved from this continent. 1t would not be
surprising to see both of these matters dis
cussed in his forthcoming annual report to
the President.

But the old settlers came forward at once.
They were deeply moved. Mr.. James Sow
den, the leading expert in Kidd tradition,
was brought forward and on hearing the
tale shook his head with great gusto. There
upon, also, he related his tale of a man
named Kendrick, who was employed as

an ''astrologer' that the treasure of
Capt. Kidd was buried in a certain
ridge in the West Roxbury district. The as
trologer had never been in West Roxbury in
his life, yet he described the locality perfect
ly, and drew a map Of the place, and located
the particular hill in which the hidden booty
was concealed
Since this has come out, the workmen have

Some of them firmly believe that when they

To the Editor Of the Press:
Doubtless Hon. VIM. Goold will well rec
ollect "Rufe JOY" as he was familiarly
called, who was in his prime some 40 years
ago and as Jolly ''man-Of-warsman" as ev-
er trod the decks of good ship. Well do
remember seeing Rufe more than once on
the 22d of February, Wasbington's Birthday,
installed as captain of cutter which was
mounted on a sled and decorated fore and
aft with American flags, the crew OF some
eight or ten men with their sailor hats gaily
trimmed with red, white and blue ribbons
yard or more long, the team drawn by some
six or eight horse through our prlnclpul
streets, while the crew enjoyed themselves
by singing patriotic and sailor songs, and
in giving cheers for George Washington.
The refrain of portland Pier" which they
gave was as follows:
Old horse, old horse, what brought you here?
From Saccarap to Portland Pier,
Yon;ye carted boards for many year;
And now worn out by sad abuse,
THEY'VE salted you down Tor sailors use.
WeIl eat the meat and pick the bones,
And heave the rest TO Dayy Jones.
And suiting the action to the words, they
would hold up q beef bone, and at the sing
inc Of the last line toss the same over the
side into snow drift Many Of our old
residents will doubtless smile at this remem-
brance of jolly Rufe Joy is brought up be-
fore them once mere. w. A. JR,

UNCLE SANS SEA.
A Canadians Lugubrlous Letter on
the Seal Fisheries DIspute.

LONDON, October 1.-THE master of the
British schooner Juniata, one Of the vessels
engaged in the seal fishery In Bebrlng sea,
has written letter to the Times from Vic
toria, b. g., in which he puts the affairs Of
England in that quarter of the globe in a
rather lugubrious light. He appeals to the
British public to move for what he regards
as justice in the Behring sea dispute. He
asserts that there is every probability that,
II the policy OF the past four years be con-
tlnued, America will be able TO make good
her claim TO the entire possession Of the east
ern half of Behring Sea. He thinks that en-
ergetic action by the English is absolutely
necessary to prevent the Canadian fishermen
being completely driven out Of it.

A Distinguish ed Teacher.

WASHINGTON, October 18.-Among the
notices read on last Sunday after the morn
ing services of the Church o. the Covenant,
where President Harrison worshlps, was
one to the effect that gentleman very
prominently connected with the govern
ment" and who had "only recently moved
into Washington" and who was "a member
of the church." had intended to form Bible
class composed of adults now in the Sunday
school. He therefore solicited applications
for membership to be left with the pastor,
Rev. DR.. Hamin. General Harrison, as is
well known, conducted Bible class for
many years at his church in Indianapolis,
and it is the general belief that there will
soon be a Bible class at the church Of the
Covenant, with the President of the United
States for its teacher.
