The Code of Civil Procedure In this State.
in prescribing the manner Of administering
an oath In judicial proceedings. begins by
declaring that the usual mode now prac-
tised by the person who swears laying his
hand upon the Gospels. must be observed
except In certain specially designated cases.
A bill has Just been introduced into the
Assembly to amend this portion OF the
statute by adding these words: '' The kiss
ING Of the Gospels Is dispensed pith."
We can readily understand the reasons
for such an amendment II the law as 1t
stands compels witness to kiss the Bible.
Apparently. however. there Is no such COM
pulsion. for section s46 OF the Same Code
provides. in Its present form. as follows:
-Ths cath must be ADMINISTERED in the following
form person who so dssirsA the laying Of the
upon aAd kt.iss De eopSs b<ns o-sf You DO
swear In the presence Of the everything Con whiIs
swearing he may or may not hold ap his hand. At
his optioa"
Under the existing law, therefore. 1t would
seem that any one who prefers to avoid
kissing the Book In taking judicial oath
may readily do SO: and there seems to be no
occasion for the enactment Of the proposed
amendment. except to add one more need
less statute to the fat volumes OF our SEES.

less more costly which would not encroach
upon the park. But the signs are. ss has
been said. that this plea Of needed rail-
road Is no longer prominent.
Yet with that out Of the way, there is
nothing OF consequences left. As Wyoming
is one Of the most sparsely settled OF all
the States, it is ridiculous TO talk Of cutting
of portions Of this wonderful national
pleasure ground In order to give her more
land for hOmesteaders or timber cutting.
Capt ANDERSON. the park superintendent,
says that while there is In the timber re-
serve some grazing land. It should be re-
tanned under the scheme OF the park for Its
own uses. The assertion as TO mineral de-
posits dwindles to what is true OF small
placer belt in one locality. where those who
own the diggings are. and will continue to
be. permitted to work them. Something
might be said for cutting on the narrow
western strip. In order TO bring the whole
park domain within the State Of Wyoming;
but that is not now important.
Congress should condemn In an unmis-
taxable way the pending bill. Efforts at
legislation for this splendid possession Of
the people should be directed rather to
protecting It by suitable code OF laws and
penalties and an ample system Of patrol.
Not foot Of the park proper or Its forest
adjunct should be set OF, except at the
earnest request Of those who are looking at
the public interests only. and who are OPP
posing the present bill.

The Beers Hemmed In.

Nearly sixty years ago thousands OF the
Beers OF Cape Colony sold their farms for a
song or abandoned them outright. and
pushed eastward into the wilderness OF
Natal to make new homes. Their sole
thought was to escape from British domi-
nation. They were the first whites to settle
In South Africa. but as the result OF Euro
pean war the Netherlands had given TO
England the young colony her pioneers had
founded. AS British settlers tioeked into
the new possession. Dutch discomfort
grew apaee. The Beers complained that
their interests were ignored. and that.
though they formed large part OF the pop
ulation. their language was not permitted
10 be used in oficial business or In the Cape
Parliament.
They were not long left In peace In Natal.
The British came around them. and then
the country was annexed TO Vietoria's do
minlons; whereupon the Beers inspanned
their OF teams once more. and trekked
north to the Transvaal. driving their herds
before them. Here they founded the coun-
try now known as the South African Re
public. The greedy British followed them
to this retreat and annexed them once
more. an ill-sdvised step which the Beers
resisted so stoutly on well-fought battle
fields. that England dropped Its new acqui-
sitIon and acknowledged the right OF the
stubborn. freedom-loving Airikanders to
take care Of themselves.
More insidious means Of undermining the
Boer republic have been in operation for
years. and the situation to-day alarms the
patriots OF the TrsnsvaAl. Unexpected
events nave suddenly given Matabeloland
to Great Britain. The two Dutch States
are at last completely surrounded by Brit
ish territory except along the Portuguese
frontier on the east. A new source OF weak
ness eonfronts the Beers. Not only are
British miners In the TrSnsgsal becoming
so large an element that they will soon be
able. II they choose. % enforce the reeogni-

fave tho Yellowstone Parki

The latest scheme for reducing the area
OF Yellowstone Park under the guise OF
rectlfying its boundaries. proposes to cut on
blocks or strips on the northern and west
ern sides. and also moro than half of those
forest areas on the south and east. which
were practically though not formally added
to it By President HARRIsoN's proclama-
ton. Tho measure was rushed into the
present Congress. We believe. among the
earliest bills offered. and is now under con-
alteration In both the House and the Senate
Committees on Territories.
The first eject of this measure. should 1t
become law. would be to take nearly
10000 acres from the park as 1t now stands.
and nearly 10000 more from the adjacent
forest reserve. which Is under the guardian
ship and control OF its keepers. thus making
total deduction Of 1.l9l .O4O acres from the
park proper and the timber reserve.
But the needless contraction OF park area
is not the only evil In the plan. 1t would
cut on on the north great tract now occu-
pied as a winter range for thousands OF elk
and antelope. and might result In great
diminution OF these animals. 1t would also
take away the habitual resort OF the noun
tain sheep. The elk could have one other
winter range. said to be as good or better.
but the home of the mountain sheep is In
the tract proposed TO be segregated at the
northeast. It Is also declared that the re-
sort OF the moose. OF which there are but
few, would be lnterfered with at the south.
What reasons are given for making these
changes? To begin with. it is said that as
the great timber reserve on the east and
south. agRregating 1855. 100 acres. does not
legally belong to the park. the present
measure formally adds the desirable por-
ton of a roughly reserved whole. The
portion now proposed for restoration to
the public domain is said TO contain some
good agricultural and grazing lands, which
would add to the resources OF Wyoming.
Then, by cutting OF the northeastern cor
ner q river boundary would be obtained.
which. it is argued, forms better line for
guarding than a high mountain range;
while the tract there cut on contains coal
and other minerals. We used to hear as
the chief argument for striking on the
northeastern corner that it would AFFORD.
on the further side OF the boundary streams.
the coveted route for the projected Mon
tAnA Mineral Railway. to be used for con-
veying the ores OF Cooke City. But either
the late decline In silver mining or the
alleged discovery that the proposed route
Is, after all. impFaeticable. seems to have
rslsgatsd this argument. which was once
the most prominent. 10 the background.
Should the latter excuse. however. be re-
ViVed. 1t Is enough TO say that a railroad
along that route would expose the park to
fires from locomotive sparks, and this risk
must not be run. The Government would
probably prefer 10 build q fine wagon road.
which would cost the mining town called
Cooke City nothing. and even bring the
people money fOE it, construction and
maintsnAnes. II : railroad is insisted on.
thsEs are other routes for 1t. though doubt

The Mayor and the Muclker.

The Hon. CHARLES A. SCHIEREN. Mayor
OF Brooklyn. performed an act OF public SER
vice in that town on Sunday afternoon
which deserves to be commended by oil de-
cent citizens. Mr.. SCHIEREN and his wife
were passengers in Greene and Gates av-
enue surface car. They sat opposite to
man who was sprawling over the car with
inebriated feet aud bathing It in profanity,
obscenity. and tobacco Juice. This man. or
semblance Of one. vented his sputatious-
having q political discussion with the
Mayor, aud filled the car with thunderbolts
and sulphur when the Mayor and his wife
changed their seats and moved away from
him. The Mayor had been very patient.
but he amputated his patience at that
point. He stopped the car. called police
man. and the sputatious and disputatious
drunkard was arrested.
II Mayor ScHIEREN hadn't happened to
he In that car, the dsorderly person would
have gone on his way unmolested. Pre-
sumably he was Just as offensive to the
other passengers as he was to Mr..
SCHIEREN. but they were too timorous or
too lazy to make a complaint against him.
They would have let him ride. He was
trampling on their rights and on the de-
cencies Of life. but they would not protest.
This is one OF the great weaknesses OF the
American In cities. On Sundays and
holidays In particular. both surface cars
and elevated cars are liable to be In
tested by drunken loafers. noisy or sod
den. Sometimes they come in gangs.
but one loafer is altogether too much.
His feet are on his neighbours corns. His
shoulders are on his neighbours shoulders.
He is malodorous. offensive. Very likely
he carries putrid cigar. He Is sure to ex-
pectorate without any regard to precision
of aim. He will swear copiously. indulge
in obscene language and ribald songs.
He Is spelling the pleasure Of many
people. He is frightening and disgusting
women and children. But he enjoys HIM
self at the expense OF the public. As a
rule, the public accepts him. 1t laughs
at him with a cowardlce and vulgarity
almost worthy OF the subject. It trem-
bles before him and meekiy accepts his
unspeakable rowdiness.
Once in while an athletic citizen slugs
him. That is In the right direction. but
still q mistake. He won't know the next
day who hit him or appreciate the punitive
and deterrent intentions OF the hitter. He
will probably boast at the next meeting OF
the Mixed Ale Coterie that he received hon.
orable wounds In an inspiring "scrap."
