REFORMLNG FRENCH PROCEED RE

While the Dreyfus case IL casting some
pleasant doubts upon the justice Of French mill
tary trials It IL gratifying 10 observe that the
civil code OF France has AT last been freed from
one OF It's most Objectionable relics Of medieval
oppression. Briefly stated. the system Of IN
definite Imprisonment and secret examination
Of accused persons has been abolished. The
Initiative in this reform was taken by VI. Con
STAINS, who Will be remembered as the strong
Minister OF n few administrations back His
proposal was promptly accepted by both cham
bers OF Parliament. and became law a few
weeks ago. 1t Is not too much 10 say that a
new era In French Jurisprudence is thus begun.
Hitherto an officer has been able 10 issue n
warrant under which the accused person could
be arrested ut any time. the police being free 10
enter his house for the purpose AT any hour. and
not only to seize him. but also to take any books.
papers or other objects which they might find
by ransacking the premises. The prisoner could
then be placed In close confinement in u common
Jail for days and weeks. while the Judge ex-
amined the things taken from his house ut
leisure After the prisoner had thus been
treated as n convict, he was brought before the
Judge for secret examination, and the Judge
who had biassed his mind against him by cx-
animation and study Of all Obtainablc testimony
and was particularly well prepared TO lead him
into sef-incrlminatng confessions. inflicted
upon him a vcrltablc nqusi,on. treating him
| as though his guilt were already confirmed. or
| course not all nor most Judges used their power
| for tho oppression Of prisoners. But II was pos
| siblc for any TO do 80, and mutitudes of inno-
| cent men had to undergo such humiliation and
persecution.
The present reform requires that the prisoner
| Is not to b. deprived Of counsel while In prison.
| that he is 10 be examined within twenty four
| hours after his arrest, that the examination Is
not to he secret. and that the prisoner is to have
| the benefit and services Of counsel at It, That
| France has only just reached this stage Of legal
| procedure. which Ango-Saxon nations have 30
| long enjoyed. seems really startling Now that
| the reform has been achieved, further progress
| will surely be made until the great principle IL
| fully established that every man Is to he con.
| sldered innocent until he Ia proved guilty. at
| least that the onus Of proof shall rest with the
| prosecution and not with the defence. II Is ex.
| traordinary that the country which has made
the most rapid progress and most sudden and
radical changes in many directions should have
| been slow In effectng this most righteous
| reform But perhaps. now that n beginning
| has been made. France will take the lead In
| legal as we'll as other forms Of progress

DOGS AND PONIES
Intelligent Animals Give an Inter-
esting Exhibition

Prof. Gentry's dog and pony show de-
lighted a good-sized audience last night.
Nearly every seat in the big tent at
Grand avenue and Tenth street was oc-
cupied. and, judging by the frequent ap-
plause, everyone present was thoroughly
delighted with the acting of the talented
dogs and pretty ponies.
Prof. Gentry's exhibition is we'll known
in the city, and nearly everyone is
familiar with the acts performed by the
little dogs and horses However, num-
ber of new acts and animals have been
added this year, and the performance
improved in many ways. The military
drill by the ponies Is one of the new acts,
and is very interesting. The little ami
mails obey all the commands with true
military precision, and seem to under
stand what is said to them.
OF the dog part of the show the mos.
amusement is to be found in the hanging
act in which a canine is executed. This
is the last act trained by Prof. Gentry
and his best effort. Prof. Gentry has the
best exhibition of the kind ever seen in
this city, and it is thoroughly worth
visit. The engagement is for the week
with matinee Wednesday, Thursday
and Saturday at o'clock.
