Judge BETTER. of Philadelphia, has re-
of policeman to shoot an escaping
prisoner, or one he would make a prison
er Of He holds that 1t is the duty OF
an officer to use as little force as possible
and that he must distinguish between
persons charged with misdemeanors and
those charged with felonies. So too
II. may make a difference whether the
officer has seen the crime committed or
knowledge of it has come to him from
others. Referring to the case at bar.
the Judge said:
1.-The defendant made the arrest in the
discharge of his sworn duties. AS mat
ter of law when he made the arrest it
was his duty TO 'nintain that arrest.
1t was likewise L.. duty to put the
prisoner in the station. and he had a
right TO use as much force as was neces-
sary to accomplish that object. Accord
ing TO the officers story. while he was
insisting on his right 10 take the prisoner
to the station-house, the man made an
assault on him, and attempted to escape.
1t then became the duty Of the officer to
apprehend the prisoner. with force. If
necessary. An officer would not be jus
tilted in shooting an old and decrepit
prisoner; but in the case of a large.
powerful, fleet-footed prisoner, the case
is different.
IAN officer must not shoot at n fleeing
man If he can capture him otherwise.
In a case where a prisoner is escaping,
the officer has right to shoot to MAIN,
but to my mind that right should only be
exercised as q last resort. He should
first warn the prisoner, and then shoot
i'm the air. 1t is a question for you. gem
tlemen of the jury. If you believe the
defendants story. he ought to be ac-
quilted: he cannot be convicted unless
he fired the shot without authority Of
law"
The bill was given to the jury, and with
out leaving their seats, they rendered a
verdict Of not guilty.

The Long, Hard Hill.

(New York SUM
They were standing i'm the sunlight
OF the summer time of life;
She was still without a husband,
Tie was waiting for a wife.
And her checks were rich ana rosy
And her lips were luscious red,
SO he pressed her dimpled myers
As he looked at her and said,
AS they stood there in the heather
Where the road had crossed the rlli:
"May we not fare together
I'D this long, hard hilly'
Now her hand began TO tremble
And her eyes were fun of tears
As she trained them on the road that
Wound away among the years;
But she had no voice 10 answer
Him: she could not understand,
For the future lay before her
Like a far-off fairy land.
There was sunlight on the heather,
There was music in the rill,
As they went away together
Up the long, hard hill.
Oftentimes the way was sunny.
Other times twas full OF lures.
But the love that had come to them
Was the true love that endures.
Though the bonny brow Is wrinkled,
Though the raven lock be gray,
Yet the road might have been rougher
Had she gone the other way.
Now the frost is on the heather
And the snow is on the rill
And they're coasting down the shor
side
or the long, hard hill.

JUBILEE LESSONS.

Queen Victoria's jubilee celebration is
n most interesting study in many of its
aspects. one of it's most interesting
and instructive features was the object

parade of Tuesday. in the matter OF il
Illustrating the dominating influence OF
that division of the white race we are
wont to term Anglo-SaXon. Never be-
fore in the history of the world per-
haps were there gathered together rep
resentatives of so many different races
and so many diverse religions to do
homage TO a sovereign. And there is
no doubt that the homage was sincere,
whether rendered by the proud and in
tellectual Hindoos through one of their
princes riding in the Queens train,
and who claimed descent from Rama,
or by African Haussas. through soldiers
marching in the procession. This phase
Of the spectacle strikingly emphasized
the inherent force Of the Anglo-Saxon.
or more properly, Briton. made more
forceful by the institutions he has been
developing through centuries.
But this is not all. Inveigh as we
may against Britain's ruthless land
grabbing policy. and the harsh measures
that have too often characterized her mi
tial steps in reducing to subsection the
peoples of newly acquired or 'coionzed"
territorial areas. We must recognize in
this and other phases of the jubilee a

Britain, all other European nations
are practically failures as colonizing

France and Germany. in the matter of
pushing coonizing But the history Of
French colonization is becoming every
day more and more "A record of misrule
and unprofitableness, and German coloni-
zation is largely in AN experimental state.
with prospects of any great development
hampered by German governmental in
situations at home. AS for Spain and
Portugal. which rank among the lead
ing exploring and colonizing Powers of
the past, there remains 20 them but the
thin and meagre shadow OF an expansive
substance.
Great Britain, however, has advanced
steadily in acquiring territory, In
making her colonization enterprises
pay. and in binding more closely 10 the
mother country most OF her possessions
that may be termed integral parts of
the empire. To-day the Empress-Queen's
subjects number over 3i6.0CO,OO0, and
the empire embraces one-fifth Of the
globe. That this vast population, made
up as TO some OF the British posses
sions OF very antagonistic clements,
should for the most part be contented.
speaks volumes for British justice and
craftsmanship IN ruliIe. Indeed. what
with the testimony OF the jubilee, there
seems only one blot on this justice
and statesmanship and that Is found in
the case OF Ireland.

OUR CUBAN TRADE.

The terrible effects of the war in Cuba
upon the trade between that island and
this country are strikingly set forth in
cold figures presented by Chief Hitch
cock. of the foreign markets section of
the Department of Agriculture at Wash
ington.
According to this authority, the
between the two countries during the
fiscal year ending June 3d. 1893, just prior
10 the outbreak Of the revolution. was

the present month it will he only about

Hitchcock's exhibit. reached their high

to S63,147, 7l5, while for the nine months
ending March 31st of the present year
they were only $,25l.G54 In 1898 Cuba
shipped tobacco into this country worth

10 Cuba averaged sl4000,OO0 a year for
ten wears prior to 1893; now they are
but little more than 100000 year.
When Il Is remembered that these
figures are thrown out from a back
ground. caused by Spain of devastated
plantations. bankrupt industrial enter
prises, butchery, and pestilence. truly,
the Cuban picture becomes a narrowing
one. and it is easy to understand the
determination Of the insurgents to fight
for independence TO the bitter end.

FACTS TO BE REMEMBERED.

T. "The minority representation plan
has not been used in Richmond in any
gubernatorial election contest for twenty
years.
2. In the gubernatorlal contest OF 1898
there was a primary election and each
precinct here elected its own delegates.
3. Excepting Richmond and three Hen
rico precincts on the borders Of this city,
no other communities in this State have
adopted the minority plan. Everywhere
else the candidate who Is the strongest
gets the vote of the election division
that is voting for delegates to the Roa-
noke convention. In short. other com
munities may easily give their solid votes
for their favorite candidates, while under
our plan our city is practically prohibited
from doing so. 90 d. 3D., O.,
Query: Is our plan fair to Richmond?
If 1t is TO become precedent here how
can we ever hope 10 make our city's i'm
fiuence properly felt in State and district
conventions?

1t Is currently reported in Washington
that President Mckinley Will revive the
arbitration treaty with Great Britain, or
rather. that he will send to the Senate
treaty which is now being prepared. that
will be free from some OF the objections
to- the old treaty, but will not materially
differ from IL.
1t takes a two thirds vote Of the Senate
to ratify a treaty. If the new treaty
shall prove substantially the same as the
one that was rejected, and the Senate
ratifes IT, the charges as to the influences
that caused rejection of the first treaty
will receive decided strength. These
charges were that some of the Republi-
can senators wanted Mckinley TO have
all the glory of concentrating arbitra-
ton. and that some of the Democratic
senators were bent on "stabbng' Cleve-
land at all hazards.
