Big and Saucy England.

To the Editor:
Hello. Glan'.l Gregory Mcintyre. After having
read your letter in The Evening World OF 4th
inst. ! quite agreed with you that England has
caused great excitement and Indignation" l am
sorry. however to learn that you are terribly
bothered about 1t. Certainly. as you say. 'the
powers ought to rise up and hunt her." &c, or
make the attempt, anway I am afraid. how =
over my dear Ganvll. that they won't: for the
powers have already had some valuable expert
ence In this connection sometimes singly and
sometimes In combination; but always with the
Eme result-big butchers bills to pay, more
slices on their back gardens. and their hall-doors
heavily drapei with Grape. Many OF the greatest
and most heroic nations OF Europe have not only
elevated their spinal columns and Erowled and
snarled at her, but have actually gone for her
for all they were worth" But l am afraid her
arguments must have proven too powerful for
tim: for not only is she still there: but is
bigger anu saucier-God bless her!-than ever

CHANCES FOR oPERA.BouFFE UoM.
PO6ERs,

Our criminal Jurisprudence may well
escapes the worlds ridlcule. 1t Is indeed
"marvellously made"
DIR. Buchanan was found guilty Of
wife murder by poisoning and was con-
demned to death. The day OF his execu-
tion was fixed more than once. But
every time 1t was postponed by unavoid-
able circumstances. The courts inter-
vened with some dilatory process. while
absolutely deciding nothing positively.
The Governor granted a reprieve and
extended the time allotted again and
again. And now the murderers counsel
come forward and because OF these de-
lays defy the State to take the mans
life at all.
A Police Captain indicted for felony by
a Grand Jury is placed at the bar Of ths
Criminal Court for trial. Days upon days
are consumed In vain effort TO obtain
a jury ignorant and stupid enough to try
the case. Al last the box Is filled and
twelve good men and true" are ac-
cepted and sworn in. Then suddenly It
Ia discovered that there are objections to
two Of them, and they are sent adrlft
and another panel summoned in the at
tempt to Nil their places.
Now the counsel for the accused rise in
court and solemnly protest against their
client being put on trial at all. claiming
that the disruption Of the jury after
being deliberately accepted and sworn
vitiates all the proceedings and makes
the case In fact a mistrial.
We certainly have a queer way here
Of dealing with our criminals and alleged
criminals.
