David Dudley Field declared before the
American Bar Association recently in session
in Chicago that there is no civilized country in
the world where it takes SO long time to ac-
complish the punishment of a criminal as in
this. He might have added also that there is
no other country where criminals generally get
of with 50 light a punishment, or where SO
many escape punishment altogether. And he
might very properly have supplemented this
observation by saying that the law makers, the
bench, the bar, and the jury are alike respon-
sible for this deplorable state of things. He
might have called attention to the defective
mountaineering laws in some states; to the
not unusual spectacle of a feeble. half hearted
prosecution, in discouraging contrast with the
energy and ingenuity, sometimes perverted into
inscriptions trickery, of the defence; to the
frequent thwarting of justice through clumsy
provisions for the selection Of jurors, or
through abuse of the legal requirements by
corrupt officers Of the court, or through direct
corruption of individual jurymen; to the in
stances of assistance, active passive, rendered
by judges to influential criminals, to whom
they may perhaps owe their election and
through whom they may expect reelection,
and to the indirect aid and comfort supplied
" hNhcss Oot eoi'-he"iscu JUICES III tne snape
Of inadequate sentences. And from his gen.
eral view Of the working of the machinery Of
the criminal courts of the country, he would
derive some justification for the belief that
this machinery operates more frequently for
the protection of the criminal classes than for
the protection of society. Often the effect Of
the existence of this machinery is to save the
offender from punishment by individuals or
protective organizations, and through some flaw
or deliberate perversion in its method Of opera
ton to let him loose UNPUBLISHED to prey upon
the world again. In such cases the courts for
bid the punishment Of criminals by anybody
but themselves. and then aid or permit the
offenders to escape without any punishment
whatsoever.

A vag Who is a Strong Opponent to I'm
mersiOn.

Barney Duffy, one OF the we'll known
lissolute characters, who is so ounctilious
regarding his citizenship that he asked a
friend TO vote for him while he, Duffy, was
loc':ed up for drunkenness. was asking
some of his friends Tuesday what offense
he could commit hat would entitle him to
six months 10 jail and yet would not place
him in the ~penitentiary. The police tried
to answer the question for him yesterday
by arresting him for vagrancy. When he
was taken to the county Jail the odor
arising from bis unwashed person
was sc d~ispleasing to the si~lk-stockinged
and ~ine-haired gentlemel. seeking safety
there that Jailer Cook tried to
persuade him to take a bath. Duffy
did protest too much, for his strenuous
objections so inspired the occupants of the
place that they decided to give him q bath
Willy nilIy: His struggles and cries OF
Help" Murder" and "They are killing
me" did not help him in the least; two
TRUSTEES held him in the tub an! Jailer
Cook scrubbed him with q mop, holding
his nose meanwhile. The water was warm,
the soap powerful and the scrubbing Wig
orous, and Barney emerged from the
operation clean for the first time since last
his mother washed him. The soaking
weakened him by removing the mud cast
in which his body was encased, but soothed
him at the same time. He went to bed
while his clothes were being washed and
dried, SO when he next mingles with the

bright among them as a grain Of corn in a

Judge Hopkins and j. j. York Each Lead
From That Suit.
~. York made a call on Judge Hop
kins yesterday at the latter's Office near
the city hall and departed just as much
out OF humor as if he had been unable to
collect his rent. The judge is a tenant OF
Mr.. York, and Mr.. York being a carpenter
and build r, has a very fair idea OF not
only what buildings cost, hut what they
are worth as sources Of revenue. When
Judge Hopkins closed court for the dinner
hour Mr.. York took possession Of the
building and fastened the front door with
q log chain big enough and strong enough
to secure the gates OF Inferno against the
egress of any of the unfortunate. He took
up his position in front OF the door and
awaited the judges return. After said
judge had lined his figurative ermine with
the fgurative capon and returned to his
justice dispensHry he was exceeding wrath.
He siezed Mr.. York ty the collar and
punched him two or three times with his
foot below the small Of the back when he
was looking in an opposite direction. The
person mus rudely addressed bade his as
sailant depart hence. You are too old
for me to fight with" said Mr.. York. This
enraged the indge. beyond the power OF self
restraint and he struck Mr.. York with his
cane across the back of the neck. The
carpenter had all .his time bern in the
possession OF a club that looked very much
like a spoke from a good sized wheel. With
this he retaliated upon the judges sconce,
inficting a small scalp wound from which
the red liquor flowed freely enough to spot
the side
The judge retired from the scene vowing
vengeance upon his belllgerent landlord and
the landlord stood guard over his chained
premises until be was satisfied that no at
tempt would be made to recovt r possession.
The ARRAY created quits a sensation for
that quiet part OF town.

Asks for Information.

CENTERvlLLE, October 22.-[Editor
MiNER]-It is a matter OF fact that the
people of Montana are interested in know
ing whether the ultra-protectionist idea SO
strongly voiced by the Republicans shall
be taken as the sense OF the Republican
party on the tariff question.
Lastfall's campaign was ostensibly fought
on the tariff issue. but as truth crushed to
the earth will rise again, SO tariff reform was
not finished for all time because the politi.
cal party aggressively identified with it
was displaced from power. The result, il
.anyinference is to be drawn from it, signi-
fed simply confidence on general principles
in one, and distrust, also on general prin-
ciples, in another party. This has as far as
I can see been demonstrated with sufficient
clearness.
Political conventions may still sing the
old apti-refurm time, but there are also
men in Montana Of indisputible loyalty
who are seriously questioning the wisdom
and Justice OF maintaining b policy as TO
modify and harmonic with the demand OF
the times.
It will be in the power OF the Republican
congress to decide whether we are to have
such O. tariff r, form or not for the next
three years. II not such q reform as stated
is made the people OF Montana will also be
heard from, Joining in the cry Tor relief
emanating from the eastern states OF the
Union. HANS Boz.
