JUSTICE AND INJUSTICE.

Not A little attention has been paid to the differences in the divorce laws of the States of the Union. and also to the differences in the laws concern ing bankruptcy. but 1t is worth while 10 notice that in laws dealing with other matters there are differences quite as conspicuous and even more unjust Mir. r. S. Wines called attention to some of them in paper read by him at the meeting Of the National Prison assoela- ton at st. Paul. MT. Wines says that the existing penal system is unjust in some respects in almost every State, and the facts given in support of his statement are decidedly interest ing. In some States there is no capital punishment for murder while in others the death penalty Is inflicted for what. in comparison. are minor crimes. If 1t is right to spare the life of man who commits brutal murder in Michi- gan, 1t certainly Is wrong to hang n wretch who has been caught setting fire to q dwelling at night. as Is done in Montana. Nearly all the Southern States punish arson with death. and in some burglary is capital crime. In Missouri the punishment for per jury is death. while in New Hampshire, Connecticut and Kentucky the maxi mum sentence for perjury Is five years. Tn Maine, Mississippi and Iowa. however. the perjurer may be sent to prison for life, while in Delaware the offense is punishable by fine. The severest punishment inflicted in Delaware for incest is fine of sloO, in Virginia six months in jail. and in Louisiana the death penalty Is exacted.
 These facts will surprise many who are not familiar with them. It is evil dent that there is room for a national association for the promotion of har- mony, equality and consistency in the criminal laws of the States.

4 BOLD CHALLENGE.

The Wine and Spirit Gazette has been so disturbed by Monsignor Satollrs decision concerning Roman Catholic liauor dealers that 1t has forgotten it's prudence. or else it is so confident in the power of Rum that it doesn't think prudence necessary. It says: Fully two-thirds, if not more, of the retail liauor dealers of the country are Roman Catholice. Some of these are liberal contributors to church funds. We voice the sentiments of large majority of the liquor dealers of this city and Brooklyn in saying: We dare Archbishop Corrigan to enforce in let ter and spirit the decree against the liauor traffic just issued by Monsignor Satolli, the papal delegate. Let the archbishop do it and watch the conse- cuences.
 This is bold enough. but just what l does it mean? Does the Wine and Spirit Gazette really think that the Roman Catholic Church is in so much need of the money contributed by H. quor dealers that it can't afford to run any risk of losing it? And does the Gazette also think that the Roman Catholic Church has sunk so low as | to be controlled by the rum power and be unable or unwilling to break away from such control? If 1t does not why does it openly "dare' Archbishop Cor rigan to initiate the example of Bishop | Watterson? Whatever the facts may l be it is a strange state of affairs when the chief organ of Rum issues a chal- lenge to the Roman Catholic Church
 in the name and in the interest o1
 many influential members of that Church. Does the Gazette and do those
 for whom it speaks really think that
 the Roman Catholic Church depends
 for its power and progress on Rum
 If they do they are good examples O.
 what Rum can do in the way of dull
 ing perception and weakening reason.

 It was early Thursday morning. after

 country swarming with hostiles, that Captain Dodge and Lieutenant Hughes,
 with their company of the Ninth cayal- ry. forty strong, cut their way through
 the thousand besieging Utes, losing
 thirty-tbree horses in the melee. and joined Payne in his beleaguered en- campment. Dodge and Hughes had no orders to do this. They simply marched to the sound of the firing. It was an exploit worthy of remembrance, and Uncle Sam. though slow, occa-

 In this battle there were twelve
 killed, including Major Thornburgh and Lieutenant Doran, of the Fifth, and forty-three wounded, besides every horse in Payne's and Dodge's com mands. The Indians were about a thousand strong, we'll armed with Sharp and Winchester rifles. and supplied
 with unlimited ammunition. After the
 battle, in the position occupied by the Indians, in a breastwork of stone, a dead white man was found. He was sitting on his knees, with his gun in position to fire. He was shot through the forehead. How many Indians were killed was not definitely known, they burying or carrying off their own dead. But that renegade white man they left

THE VAR.

It is announced that China and Japan are really at war, though it is still hoped that the affair can be arranged before it becomes uncomfortable. It probably will become uncomfortable soon unless European nations interfere and tell both China and Japan what they must do.
 The chief cause of the war is, of course, the hatred between the two na- tions, which has long been violent. The excuse for the interference by China in the affair. of Corea was found in the performances of a sect called Tong Hon Eastern SchooD which the Co., rean government was unable to deal with. There has been great dissatisfac- tion with the government in Corea, and the progressive party finally resort ed to force in order to overthrow it. The insurrection has prospered. It appears to be a kind of Coxey and Populist movement. The insurgent soldiers wear yellow turbans and the army carries banners bearing such mottoes as "No massacre" ''No plundering;" "Alle- glance to the King and Observance of the precepts of Confucius;;" Peace and prosperity to the people," Down with foreigners and the Japanese;" "Take Seoul and get the government, to re- model it in purity and honesty" The Corea government got scared and called upon China for help, being urged to do so by the Chinese minister. In accor- dance with the treaty known as Tien- Tsin treaty, between China and Japan, viceroy Ii notified the Japanese govern ment that he. at the request of Corea, had sent some troops there for the re- pression of mobs. Thus notified, Japan answered the Chinese government that she also would send troops for the pro- teetion of her subjects. deeming such a course necessary and having the privi- | ( . ! s 1. <.

 The situation will perhaps not be clear for a few days. but we shall soon know what is going on. Japan has certainly begun operations with yigor and suc- cess
