The committee of the Massachusetts
legislature has reported against the bill
for trial of the Norwegian system of
liquor restriction, but that is not
thought to settle the matter, for there is
strong sentiment in both houses in
favor of the measure, and it may turn
ont to be controlling one. 1t is a
curious fact that the opposition to a
trial of this system has come almost
entirely from the liquor dealers on the

is JUSTICE A FARCE?

There are some things about the adj
minist t-ation of justice in this county
which are past finding out. An attorney
who forged the signature OF superior
Judge to fraudulent orier for the pay
ment of costs in probate case was tried
by jury on Wednesday and found not
guilty. on account OF insanity. The same
individual was then tried yesterday Tor
insanity and found to lie perfectly sane.
His discharge from custody followed.
The first jury virtually found the attorney
guilty of the crime charged. but con-
cluded that he was not endowed with the
discernment necessary to draw t c line
between safe piece of rascality and one
which would subject him to punis hment.
That view saved the criminal from the
pententiarv. The second jury had
nothing to do with the mans criminal
action, but wa, to determine the state of
his mind. To them the prisoners S grey
mater seemed to he in tip-top condition :,
and they found. This secund view
saved him from the insane asylum.
How, in heavens name. can any one
point with pride to such unsafe institu-
tions as the jury system in vogue now?
The statement of facts outlined above is
enough to disgust any one with the too
much vaunted trial by jury. If one set
of men can call an orange an apple today,
and another set cali it plum tomorrow,
and whole community sits by and ap-
proves both findings, it stands to reaso n
that justice will be nothing but a
farce. Logically, one set of jurors was a
bakers dozen of idiots. and if the public
allowed the juggling done in the case in
question to pass without scathing re.
marks. it would prove that it was as
mentally deficient as one OF the two
iuries above referred to.
Tie alleged offender had been examined
by several physicians some time before
his trial, and he was recognized as sane.
The Judge before whom the proceedings
were had was outspoken in the matter
and realized that an attempt was being
made to cheat justice. The Jury which
found the man sane yesterday could co m e
to no other conclusion, because no state
of affairs different from that which ex.
listed at the first examination was pre-
sented to 1t.
But in the case Of the men who tried
him for the crime of forgery, diffe rent
state Of affairs existed. The prisoner
was either guilty or he was not guilty.
We have not got the Scotch form of a yer.
dict which says that a crime is not
proven. And we have no such class of Il
verdict with a rider attached, as they
rendered in this case. The verdict was
| clearly not a proper one. because of ir-
regularity. and should not have been ac-
cepted by the court. Guilty or mot
guilty" was all the conclusion the Jury
was expected to arrive at and no more,
and when they exceeded that they did
exceed their jurisdiction. The jury tn at
tried the man is very much on a par with
some of those coroner's jurie, which are
not satisfied with giving the cause of the
death of the unlucky corpse they are
sitting upon, but must emit their views
as to whether the man who did the kill
ing is guilty of m urdeI in the irst degree
or merely mansaughter-a matter that
does not concern them in the least.

Hiss K. q. Abbo,'s Return

Miss Katharine Gilbert Abbot has re-
turned from Paris and is visiting her
mother, Mrs. NJ. l.. Abbot at Garvanza.
Miss Abbot has been studying art for the
last five years in England, Italy and
France, and her pictures have been ac-
cepted and hung in both the old and new
Paris salons.
This year she exhibited two pictures,
A Portrait of Mile. ", and Anxiete. in
the Champs de Mars salon, which was or
gsnlzed six years ago. with Meissonier as
its president. At his death Puvis oe
Chavannes succeeded him. and although
the old salon has the finer exhibition OF
sculpture and it needs more red tape and
personal intuencs to gain access to it for
exhibitors, tue new salon excels in its
collection of pictures has better lighted
rooms, and is really harder on the merits
of the work in obtaining entrance. When
such men as Cain. l. Hermite, Earn.
Burne, Jones, Carolus, Duran. Dagnnn,
Bonveret. John Sargent. James Mcneil
Whistler and Alexander Harrison exhibit
in the Champs de Mars salon. it is no
small honor to an American girl that her
work be acceptable, and all of her work
that Miss Abbot has offered has been ac-
cepted by both salons. Her speciality is
portraiture. and II. Siddons Now bray

THE QUESTION OF WATER FOR VERNON

1t would appear that the proposition of
the Vernon Irrigation company to lease
from the city the irrigating bitches by
which the south and west portions of IT, )
city have been irrigated might be made
very advantageous to the city ii accepted
by the city council.
The irrigation company proposes to
take charge of the ditch es and keep the
same in good repair, furnish water to all
parties entitled thereto within the city
limits, maintain the charges therefor
which the city has been accustomed to
make, and subject to such regulations as
the city council may make, and pay 10
the city of Los Angeles, net and clear,
one-half of the gross receipts from the
inhabitants within the city to whom wat
er may be furnished. That is to say, the
city is to be at no expense or care in
keeping clean and maintaining the
bitches, and is to receive one-half the
gross proceeds.
The record of the city treascrer's
office for the four years beginning Deem
bel l, 1882 and ending Norember 80. 1893,
shovel the total expenditure for main
tanning these irrigating bitches exceeded
the total income for that period by
$4370.22, or brought the city in debt for
that sum; and that for the five years be-
ginning December 1, 1889. and ending
November 80 1894, the income exceeded
the expenditures by $337S.04, showing an
annual net gain to the city OF $675.G0 It
would thus seem that the proposition
of the Vernon Irrigation company might
be made "a better thing for the city than
II is now making by managing the rriga-
ting itself
The acceptance of the proposition
would of course cut off one or more iced
ers at the public crib, but should 1t result
in gain of some thousands of dollars
per year to the city. the taxpaying oiti-
sen will hardly regret that result.

nations. Ireland and Germany, and their
arguments had to be head to he appre-
ciatcd.
Mrs. Burke was adorned with a prim

glief; her eye was black and swollsn.
some of her teeth hau been broken, her
aged and her left ear Topped down sug.

Mrs. Burke's chilren had gone over to
her house and after they had pelted her
with watermelon rind and covered her
with bllingsgate, the little girl had de-
posted "spitful of mouth on her win
dow pane right in her face, and she
couldn't stand that.
So she seized the butcherknlfe and
rusned INTO the midst. She carved no one,
but the big boy caught up a rock and
belabouIed her pbys.ognomy with the
dire results related.
Madame Greif had Madame Burke ar

peace, but on motion the action was dis
missed. Both women sought complaints
to charge each other with battery, and
other neighberly things. and when they
met in the district attorneys office the
scene was ludIcrous. The venomous
glaring warned te wary deputies of in
cipent riot. so they rushed the Amazons
into opposite apartments. Their tales of
woe were listened to and both were ad.

THE BANNOCK RISING

Apparently we are on the eve OF an 9TH
er Indian war. Even though the wards
of the nation in this case are weak in
numbers they are strongly entrenched
and are likely to put our troops through
some severe hardships and lively skir-
mishes before the fight is over.
1t IS interesting in this instance to look
into the causes which have led to this
uprising. So far as facts are obtainable
it appears that the Bannocks are accused
OF killing game on United States lands.
This they have perfect right to do ac-
cording to their treaty with the United
States government. Thus far they have
their battle Just. On the other hand, in
killing game on the lands on which they
had right to do, they violated a .tate
law OF Wyoming, which prohibits the
killing of game. Now if the Bannocks
were aware of tbs conflicting laws as be-
tween state and nation, 1t is quite prob
able that they would conclude that the
laws OF the na,ion were the superior force
and the ones TO be obeyed. Particularly
should this be the case in view of the
fact that it was by special treaty that the
Bannocks we're granted the privilege of
uuDSlDR Gil onIteu states ldnuS.
A bans; of Bannocks while hunting, as
they supposed they had a right to do. were
arrested for violating the game laws of
Wyoming. Being arrested, sixteen of the
band are shot down on the plea that they
were trying to escape. The Bannocks
argue the case, and the United States
troops are called upon to return them to
their reservation" which is the official
-Nvilized way of saying to fight the In.
4yans to a finish.
In this case suppose that in the place
of the Indians we substitute white men,
and read it that way, how would it ap-
pear? Suppose Il party of hunters had
shot few elk in violation OF the laws of
Wyoming, and grant that they tried to
escape arrest. Is there in any Of these
things a crime punishable by death? Had
q party of sixteen white men been shot
down under the same circumstances as
we're the Bannocks, it would be de-
nounced by the whole country as a cold
blooded butchery.
However, it was not white men, but
Indians who were shot down. and because
the tribe resents it our kill-'em-of IF policy
Is IN favor again.
