look lightly upon conventionalities and
the law. A close analysis of the law and
the facts is made by the Judge and de-
cision rendered that in the opinion of
The Herald will stand in this state for all
time and close up the last loophole
against vicious unions that was left open
by the law of 1895. No small disgrace
has been brought upon the state by the
loose condition of the laws and circum-
stances that have governed matrimonial
unions in California, especially in the
early days, and the reforms that have
been brought about were sadly needed.
Sea marriages and civil contract mar
riages in almost every case SOW the
seeds Of unhappiness and bitter expert
ence. Matrimony as an Institution is
now surrounded by no restrictions that
will trouble sensible, law-abiding peo-
pie who are capable of thinking and act
ing for themselves. There is such a
thing as making marriage too easy, and
1t is not necessary to point out the evils
that arise from making divorce too easy.
California has taken great strides for
ward in these matters within the past
few years. and the results will be benefi-
cent almost beyond measure.

THE OUTBREAK IN CHITRAL

The foreign dispatches have had a great
deal to say of late about the native out
break in Chitral, British India, but little
has been told about its cause.
The trouble in Chitral is several years
old. In 1895 the mehtar Amanul Mulk
was murdered, and his eldest son, Mizam,
seized the throne, but was expelled by a
younger brother, Afzul. This monarch
was murdered by his uncle, Shere Afzul,
whose son, Amir-ul Mulk, succeeded the
slain ruler. The latter was in turn sue
ceeded by the present incumbent, Shuja.
The British government simply
watched this little game of murder and
succession without taking a hand; but
when little later a warlike chieftain
from neighboring province invaded
Chitral bent LPon conquest, force was
sent to whip him. This little job accom-
plished, the province was drawn still
closer under British rule and a garrison
established at the latter place.
The New York Tribune, which pre-
sents in greater detail the facts here
given, thinks the present outbreak Is
merely the work of unsubdued tribes
men who would rather fight than eat,
and not connected with the anti-British
agitation that has arisen in Bombay.
Calcutta and other points in British
India. Still, it is to the interest of Great
Britain to keep things we'll in hand in
border states like Chitral, for they con-
stitute the defense line of the British
frontier. There is always the pos
sibility Of Russian invasion to con-
slider, otherwise the incident of the
outbreak would have little interest for
the world in general.

A MISPLACED DEFENSE

The San Diego Union rushes to the de-
tense of the administration conspirators
who made John Sherman secretary of
state in order to get United States
senatorship for Hanna, by criticising
the newspapers that have dared to give
the facts to the public. 1t contains a
lengthy editorial along that line with
the following sentence:
If John Sherman is nearing the end
of his public career, common decency
would draw a veil before his failings.
Sheer brutality alone would seek to
parade them before a sorrowing nation.
What rot! Criticism has in no case
been directed against the venerable sec
retary of state whose illness and appar-
ent incapacity is regretted by all Ameri-
can citizens, regardless of their political
affiliations. But it would be hard to use
too severe in criticising the men
who, in forcing Mr.. Sherman into the
office Of secretary of state in order to
serve their own selfish ambitions and in
keeping him there after it had become
evident that he was incapacitated, per-
formed an act that blots the pages of
American political history.
This fact should be clearly understood,
that the secretary's weakness had be-
come evident before he took his seat in
the cabinet, and was commented upon
by the newspapers. The manipulators
knew it better than anybody else, yet
they persisted. And now, when the in
capacity of this venerable public servant
has become the subject of international
comment and when it threatens to bring
about serious embarrassment to the gov
ernment at any time, the secretary is
not permitted to retire to private life,
because his retirement would further
endanger Mark Hanna S chances of elec-
tion to the United States senate. "Sheer

men to serve on juries who have nothing
else to do. there will always be three or
four men on every jury who would never
convict any man of any crime" That Is
putting It little strong, perhaps, but
it is a notorious fact that the ends Of
justice in a very large number of cases
are defeated for no other reason than
that honest, competent men cannot be
obtained to serve on the juries.
The professional juror is, perhaps, the
and this weakness has grown until it
has really become menacing, danger
Gus evil Nor can it be done away with,
so long as the jury system exists, unless
there is less leniency with regard to the
law that governs service on juries.
The judge or the justice is prone to
undue laxity in excusing business and
professional men from serving on juries.
He does not like to discommode them nor
embarrass business arrangements that
might possibly suffer through their en-
forced absence. 1t is probable, too, that
the element of politics enters into the
matter. The judge or justice who owes
his position to politics hesitates before
he makes enemies by obliging men to
serve on juries So long as they can
keep within the strict letter of the law
they will not offend in this way.
But the law exists, the jury system
prevails, and what are we going to do
about it? 1t was only a week or two ago
that Justice Owens found it necessary
to administer a severe rebuke in a case
where two members of jury had mani
festly and persistently stood out against
the testimony, the law and the facts.
There must obviously be greater
strictness on the part of the courts in
the selection of juries and more of the
spirit of self-sacrifice on the part of
good citizens who are drawn for jury SER
vice. This is reform that is greatly
needed, and it must be practical one in
order to accomplish any good.

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

There is still living in quiet retirement
in a pretty villa in one of the outlying
quarters at Aberdeen a daughter Of
James Hogg, the Ettrick shepherd The
lady, now we'll over three-score years,
has no clear recollection of her gifted
father, for she was only an infant of
wears or so when "the shepherd" died,
in 1885.
Eff. Doty Of Metamora, Mich, horse
whipped a Congregational minister
there, Rev. w. R. Flint who also prac-
tees medicine, on a charge and alleged
confession of talking derogatorily of
matron. Doty then complained against
himself before a justice, pleaded guilty
of assault and battery and was fined
$40.
President Faure created a commotion
recently in Paris by driving about with
a nurse and baby in the seat usually oc-
cupied by his aid. 1t was then learned
that his married daughter had given
birth to son three weeks before. Paris
is also rejoicing over the news that a
French wet nurse has been engaged for
the czars latest daughter.

"KLoNDYKE NUGGETS"
Joseph Ladue's Little Book Ready for
Delivery

Joseph Ladue's Little Book Ready for
Delivery
A fresh and large supply Of "Klon-
dyke Nuggets" has been received by
The Herald; not the virgin gold as it
is found on the tributaries Of the Yu-
kon, but the book Of that name which
has been offered to readers Of this pap
or. Approaching the intense interest
in securing reliable and complete in
formation pertaining to the gold fields
Of Alaska a supply of this valuable
little book has been secured and copies
can be obtained by readers on presen-
tation of coupon, to be found in the
advertising columns, and the paymetn
Of ten cents.
"Klondyke Nuggets" is brochure
of SO pages, written by Joseph Ladue,
pioneer in that region and founder
Of the now famed Dawson City. For
fifteen years Mr.. Ladue has resided
in Alaska and has prospected the re-
gion winter and summer. Prior to Au-
gust "a, 1896 the Klondyke was un-
known to the world, but on that date
gold was discovered and on Septem-
Der 1st Ladue commenced the erection
Of the first house on what is now the
site of Dawson City.
In his book Mr.. Ladue gives ex-
hustive information regarding that
whole region, covering routes, dis
tances and transportation; the Yukon
its afiuent streams and the adjacent
country; the necessary outfit for min
ers, advice to beginners, etc, etc. The
description while condensed is most
complete and comprises probably the
most authentic and valuable infor-
nation at present obtainable.
Several interviews with Mr.. Ladue
were published in the New York
World recently and were acknow-
lodged as the most reliable and de-
finite yet secured. AS one critic said

thing that has come out of the Klon-
dyke region in the last six weeks, but
the first connected idea I have been
able to get of what has been done there
was gained from Mr.. Ladue's State
ments. have seldom seen so much
information packed into the same
number of columns as Mr.. Ladue has
given in his little work.

The Fly Gets the Spider

Samuel Simon, Sr., we'll known resi-
dent of Neshannock Township, while
strolling near his home one day recently
noticed fly about half an inch long and
of a dark blue color, with slim body
bearing a large dead spider. The fly
crossed his path and laid his load down.
1t then went about eighteen inches in
another direction and commenced dig
ging a hole in the ground. Simon's
curiosity being excited, he stopped and
watched the work. After the fly had
the hole dug about half the length of
himself, he went to where he had left the
spider and took it's dimensions. After
going back to the hole he found it was
not big enough, and commenced digging
again. After taking out quantity of
earth, he again went to the spider and
again took his dimensions. He did this

A CASE OF 16 TO /

The advance in the price Of sugar
one-sixteenth of cent to the pound is

ruin and starvation of the workingman.

Dingley law would make up this differ
ence on ton or so of sugar, the work.
ingman will probably manage to get
along.
The above from our esteemed evening
contemporary is a clear case of 16 to /,
and indicates a mental backsliding
which pains us to see. 1t will take six
teen of these partial truths to make one
whole truth.
Since the great advance agent Of pros
perity was nominated at ST. Louis by
the grace OF Marcus Aurelius and the
aid Of the colored delegates from the
south. sugar has made a clear net gain
of one full cent. That means an extra
cost Of 63 cents per year to every man,
woman and child in the country. For an
average family of five persons this tax
for the benefit Of the sugar trust is Sc. .15.
If the advance wave of prosperity
works this way on all other commodities
and articles used by the people, the less
it advances the better we are off. 1t
might rise 50 high around the habita-
tions of the trusts and monopolies as to
cause them to die of surfeit while the
fields where the poor toll, and the mills
where they spin. might remain as arid
as Sahara.

gross tax of s4s.51O,O0O taken from the
people to increase the gains Of trust

NO OCCASION FOR A FURRY

Negotiations for the purchase Of the
water works plant seem to be at stand
still just now, ard it is all-important
that the council considers the next step
very carefully. AT last weeks session
overtures were made to the water COM
pany to appoint arbitrators to assess the
value Of the property, but it is pretty
certain that the company is not yet
ready to enter upon this arrangement.
In an interview the other day Secretary
Mott stated that the company desired
the advice Of its attorney, Senator
White. before accepting the arbitration.
Senator White is now out Of the city,
and even after his return it may take
some time for him to thoroughly inform
himself Of the situation before giving
his advice. Meanwhile the water COM
mittee of the council can put in its time
to good advantage by looking up points
and authorities and fortifying itself
thoroughly to further the city's end of
the negotiations.
There has been some talk Of move
ment in the council to call a bond cleo
ton at once and submit the proposition
Of mortgaging the city for three and a
half millions of dollars to construct a
new system of water works. Such ac-
tion would be precipitate and ill-advised
and could only lead to failure at this
time. The council should be exceedingly
cautious mot to get the cart before the
horse at any stage of this important pro-
ceeding.
In the first place we have not yet ex-
hausted negotiations for the purchase of
the present plant, and it is only fair to
allow reasonable time for bringing mat
ters to focus.
Secondly, title to the lands necessary
for the projected headworks is in litiga-
tior, and it is all-essential that that
matter be settled before we proceed with
definite plans for coustructin.
Thirdly, the public Is not yet convinced
that 50 large an expenditure will be nee
essary in order to acquire system of
water works Before mortgaging their
property and placing a heavy incum-
brance upon the next generation, people
will want to feel assured that there is
no better solution Of the problem posi-
BILE.
Fourthly, the city should make rea-
sonable show of living up to the terms of
its contract entered into thirty years
ago. Failing in this we may expose our
selves to legal complications which may
lead to greater delays and more embar-
rassment than could possibly be in
volved in little deliberation just now.
If the council adopts Davy Crockett's
maxim, and is sure it is right before it
attempts to go ahead, it will make haste
fast enough to satisfy the public

eight times, and as often enlarged the
hole. When the busy little fellow had
the hole too deep for him to throw the
earth clear outb he,would go on the bank
and force it back with his feet. After
he had the excavation large enough for
this purpose he went for the spider and
brought it to the grave, for such it
proved to be, and dragged it to the mouth
of the hole. After he had the body in he
covered it with fine earth first and fin
ished by placing a small piece of cinder
on the top. When he had finished the
work he flew away. The whole time
consumed was exactly fifty-five min
utes, as Mr.. Simon says he sat and
watched the whole performance.-New-

The voice of woman are never heard;
Where the only sound is the click, clang,

Not for ourselves-we were better dead:
But for children, for wives, who abide

And raising new hope when an old hope
And nerving our arms for a coming day,
When for honest work there'll be honest

In the glare of the world how this can be,
That you, who're but men such as we, can

Bicycle idiot Punished

The other day bicycle rider found
rare chance for sport. He was near the
suburbs of Worcester, and there were
few vehicles to dodge or pedestrians to
worry, says the Worcester Gazette. But
farm wagon appeared, with a COW
trailing behind, patiently submitting
herself to be led by rope from the front
seat. The bicycle idiot rode up to the
COW and began series of tactics to an
noy her. He punched her in the ribs,
yelled in her ears and lodged around her
legs. Occasionally he fell back, and, TAX
ing hold Of her tail, attempted to make
her tow his bicycle. The COW objected
to this, and kicked viciously. This only
amused the rider, and he directed his
attention to the annoyance that would
induce her to continue kicking, mean
while keeping out Of reach of her heels.
Finally the animal stopped kicking
and appeared to become Indifferent.
Some spectators on a passing street car
observed, however, that she had turned
her head so as to keep an eye on her per-
secuter. 1t took her few minutes to
get the range, and meanwhile the BIZ
cycle idiot grew bold and reckless, en-
couraged by her quiet behavior. Sud-
denly the animal darted forward, so as
to get slack in the rope, stopped short
and let both legs fly. Her aim was sure
this time, and the bicycle went out from
under the idiots feet The street car
spectators raised a shout, the motorman
rang a chime with his gong, and the
farmer and his boy whipped up the
horse. The impassive COW only wiggled
her ears and gave an imaginary fly on
her side triumphant slap with her tail.
The wheel was SO twisted that the rider
had to walk home as helpless as the cow
was being led. He will not sue the owner
Of the COW.
