When the strength OF the two parties in
the present Congress was known to be so
close some anxiety was expressed that the
balance might be disturbed by the deaths Of
some members-elect. 1t seems to be the law
Of mortality. which applies to politicians as
we'll as other men, that of three hundred odd
Congressman elected in the fall several shall
die before the beginning of the first session.
The members-elect to this Congress are no
exception. Two have already died, and one
has resigned to become minister to Mexico.
These changes will not, however, imperil
the Republican majority. the minister to
Mexico is a Republican; but his constituents
have promptly filled his seat with another
Republican. The Democrats were the first
to lose man by death-Gay, of Louisiana.
The death of Laird takes off Republican.
Out of this situation the chances seem better
for the Republicans to gain vote 1t is
conceded that there is no hope for the Demo-
Gratis to elect man to succeed Laird; where
as. on the other hand, the district Mr.. Gays
death left vacant is naturally Republican.
1t Is generally understood thai Mr.. Gay was
enabled to carry it because of his being
protecuonist and having plenty of money,
which ne was free to spend To hold this
same influence in operation Mr.. GAYS SON.
in-law has been nominated bv the Demo
Gratis, but with questionable chances of sue

Republicans have, it is chance merely that

But the law cannot control the human mind
and 1t is almost inevitable that the jury will
be Influenced by it, the law to the contrary
Notwithstanding. So that under this prac-
tice the guilty defendant is in this predca-
ment: If he takes the stand in his own be-
half bis story is likely to be picked to pieces
in cross-examinaton; whereas if he refuses,
his refusal is certain to count against him.
Much complaint has been made against the
English court that tried Mrs. Maybr ok, and
one element of unfarness good deal dwelt
upon was the refusal to allow her to testify.
1t is true that in the strict sense OF the term
she was not allowed to testify. But she was
permitted tc make a statement. Would her
situation have been more favorable had she
been allowed to testify as she would in our
courts? That privilege would have given to
the government the right to cross examine
her. Is it likely that her statement would
have made more favorable impression on
the jury after it had been picked to pieces by
an astute cross examiner than as it came
carefully prepared in advance? If there
were inconsistencies in it would not cross
examination have brought them out more
prominently? IL there were improbabilities
In 1t would not discrimination have
made them more striking? And II its fabric
was falsehood would not cross-examina-
tion have demonstrated it beyond all
doubt? The English practice of allow
ing an alleged criminal to make a
statement without mourning the danger Of
examination is. it seems to us, much
more advantageous to the guilty than our
practice. Mrs. Maybrick, if she was guilty,
Jared better under the English rule than she
would under the American. If she was in
nocent, perhaps cross-examination would
have strengthened her statement though
that is doubtful Our practice is undoubt-
eddy more in the interest of justice than the
English practice, but the latter is more ad-
vantageous to the guilty.

There has recently been serious trouble
between the mine-owners and miners in ILL

Who is this baron? The st. Louis Globe
Democrat says he is VIM L. Scott, the man
who represented the Twenty-seventh Penn
sylvania District in the Fiftieth Congress,
who was Cleveland's right-hand man in the
Presidential campaign last year, one of Mr..

1t seems that Home Secretary Matthews
and the prominent English lawyers whom
he consulted all agreed that Mrs. Maybrick
attempted to poison her husband. The only
doubt among them was as to whether she
had succeeded-that is, whether his death
was entirely due to the arsenic she admins
tered, The medical testimony in the trial
raised doubt on this point, and the Home
Secretary decided to give the unfortunate
woman the benefit of the doubt by commut-
Ing her sentence to penal servitude for life.
At the same time he announces that he will
entertain no appeals for her pardon or for
any further remission of her sentence The
decision OF the Secretary, as far as the COM
mutation of the sentence is concerned, will
be received with favor very generally, even
by the most of those persons who were con-
WINGED that she was guilty Of the crime
charged In the indictment. Opposition to
the hanging Of women, even though their
guilt Is certain, is very general and very
strong. OF course If there is any doubt that
the woman attempted to poison her husband
pardon instead of Communication should
have been granted. But the fact that the
Home Secretary and the most distinguished
lawyers Of England, after full and Impair
tial examination of the evidence, could find
meme, Is very strong evidence that none ex-
lists. Opinions in this country Oh the case
are Of little value, inasmuch as out very
small portion of the evidence has been pub.
lished here.

The attack Of the Bangor News on the
judge, jury and prosecuting officer in the Gil
man case is an astonishing performance.
The trial had been in progress but six hours
when the News proceeded to pronounce 1t a
farce, to insinuate that the judge was cor
rupt, and to declare that the prosecuting Of
ficer was "wtak-kneed" and that his manage
ment of the case was 'boyish, puerile and
incompetent" The journalism of the Wild
West has rarely exceeded this in audacity
and indecency. If the author of the screed
escapes term in the county jail he may es-
TEEN himself fortunate.

Undoubtedly it is a wise law that permits
person charged with crime to testify in his
own behalf. But it is very much to he
doubted If the person charged with crime
who is really guilty has so good chance of
escaping conviction as he did under the cid
practice of not allowing the accused to be-
come witness in his own behalf. The
chances are that guilty person placed in
the witness box and subjected to cross-ex
animation, will damage his own case much
more than he will benefit it. To be sure
whenever this privilege is granted the de-
PENDANT is at liberty to use it or not as he
prefers, and if he decides not to avail him
self of 1t the law forbids the jury to draw
any unfaYorable inference from his refusal.
