WE DO not recall in the history of the
country an incident at all like that which
is signalized by the letter of United States
District Judge Ross to United States At
torney- General Olney. Certainly the
letter is very plain and incisive re-
spouse to the Attorney-Gener and will
call out wide comment. 1t is likewise
characterized by vigor, and may be said
to be a defense by the Judiciary of its po-
sition that the law which Mr.. Olney says
is crippled in execution for want Of
funds, is not in fact so hampered, but
that it's non-enforcement is due to the in
decision and unfriendliness of the De-
partment of Justice. While we have not
thought that the charges of intent to sub
vert the law in the matter OF Chinese de-
portation worthy Of serious considera-
ton, and do not for a moment believe
that the President of the United States
has at any time intended to usurp the
function Of the law or suspend the opera
ton of any law, we concede that the view
of 1.-THE United States District Judge from
his standpoint is strongly taken, and
that there could be no more dangerous
attack upon constitutional liberty than
an attempt to suspend the vitality of a
statute the peoples representatives have
enacted. But there is not any evidence
that the President has made anv such at
tempt. There is difference OF opinion
as to whether there is fund directly ap-
plicable for the deportation of Chinese
who are found by the courts to be unlaw-
fully in the country. Congress is in ses-
sion and it can with ease and in briefest
time furnish means sufficient to COM
pletely set at rest that doubt. If it does
not do so the dominant party, which has
the control in Congress, certainly must
bear the burden of complaint.

A BREAK in the aqueduct supplying
Hamburg with filtered water permitted
water from the river Elbe to flow in.
The result was that in a short time the
cholera broke out virulently. The water
was then tested and the microbes OF
cholera were easily detected. Only few
days ago the repairs ON the viaduct were
completed. and almost at once the chol-
era disappeared from the city. This sus-
tains the water carriage theory, but it is
not favorable to the doctrine that filtra-
ton does not remove disease microbes.

a broader field and a greater number from

THE practical joker will never learn;
no amount of warning moves him; ex-
amples of the folly of his fun have no
effect upon him. Three young men of
Monterey resolved to play a joke upon
fourth. Three, including the victim, were
to be commanded to halt by a supposed
highwayman and fight was to follow,
but to avoid harm the gun of the victim
was supplied with no shot or ball. When
the 'stand-up' took place, however. the
victim, finding his gun useless because of
a harmless cartridge, slipped a genuine
one into his weapon, and firing upon his
assailant, inflicted such wounds that the
man died on Saturday. 1t is very doubt
full if the killer can be held for any un-
lawful act. In fact, he acted in good faith,
and believing that he was menaced by a
road knight, fired upon him, just as any
other man would have DONE AS for the
unfortunate youth who was shot, there
cannot be expended upon his memory
much sympathy, for the reason that he
engaged in foolish and dangerous enter
prize took all the chances of the joke be-
ing transformed into a tragedy, and the
result is that he is dead. But viii this
tragic affair teach lesson to the practical
jokers that they will regard? No; the
same old disposition to involve some one
in trouble, or fear or danger, for the sake
of fun, will crop out as usual in all the
Monterey section. When, however, the
practical joker kills or seriously wounds
some unfortunate upon whom he plays
his pranks, there ought to follow prose-
cution of the guilty, and the punishment
should be such that fear would follow
and serve as deterrent, to some extent
at least.

a Dardistan Legend of a Bear.

Two women, n mother and her little
daughter, were one night watching their
field of Indian mal<ai"-against
the inroads of the bears. The mother
had to go to her house to prepare the
food and ordered her daughter to light Il
fire outside. While she was doing this
a bear came and took her away. He car
ried her to his den and daily brought her
to eat and drink. He rolled big stone
in front Of the den whenever he went
away on his tours, which the girl was
not strong enough to move.
When she became old enough to do
this, he used daily to lick her feet, by
which they became swollen and gradu-
ally dwindled down to mere misshapen
stumps. The girl eventually died, and
the poor bear, after vain efforts to re
store her to life, roamed disconsolatcly
about the fields.-Dr. Leitner in Asiatic
