THE JURISPRUDENCE OF FRANCE.

N the Dreyfus affair the point which has eicitcd
 the greatest surprise in this country has been the readiness with which a portion at least of the French public have accepted the condemnation of the young officer as justihable even though there may be doubt of his guilt To Americans who are accus- toned to regard with horror the suggestion that innocent person may be in danger of punishment, and the whole theory of whose jurisprudence is founded upon the maxim, Better that ten guilty men should escape than that single innocent should suffer" this condition of the French public mind is little less than marvellous.
 Yet it is not difficult matter to understand when studies the French character Justice Is not the basis of French law for the reason that high sense of justice does not prevail among the people. Con- victons are in France usually the result of opinions or preudces entertained by the Judges of the guilt of accused persons Rules of evidence for ascertain ing the truth and laws forbidding the condemnation of men of whose guilt there is doubt, as we under stand them, practically unknown in France. Dur
 ing the Dreyfus excitement, 1t will be remembered
 the officials who prosecuted the alleged culprit ire quenty assured the public that in their opinion he was guilty. An absence of proof was acknowledged but there were certain secret documents upon which the Government had predcated its opinion, but which 1t could not publish
 The idea thus put forward was that the people should be satisfied when given solemn assurance of somebody's implicit belief in the guilt of Dreyfus The absurdity of convicting by this method may be illustrated by supposing American case. Imagine for moment that the War Investigating Board re- gently in session at Washington should have brought in report that General Miles was responsible for the bunders of the Cuban campaign, and without any other than secret inquiry should have condemned him to banshment for life. Of course the country would have been convulsed. But suppose, while the people were expressing their indignation and the newspapers roaring their dsapproval President Mo Kiney had written cardsolemnly assuring the pub lie of his belief in Miles guilt How would that have affected his reputation for sanity?
 Things like the Dreyfus affair are possible only in countries where there Is absence of the stern sense of justice which makes the awsno respecter of persons in Anglo-Saxon nations. Dreyfus was made scapegoat for what his prosecutors considered jus tihable reasons. His Judges thought him guilty and that was enough It Voltaire who said that the courts of France unfit to administer justice be- they were governed by prejudice and with out responsibility. The Dreyfus affair proves that the condition which existed in France in his time still exists. The greatest necessity of France is an entire reform in its jurisprudence, the stripping of its Judges of much of their authority and the abolition of military trials except in time of war, and then only for strictly military offenses.

A QUAINT CORNER IN BOSTON.

Nothing but sheer modesty prevents Trinity Court from being one of the show places of Boston. It Is as far from the usual commonplace habitat as this side of the Atlantic knows anything about
 and the wonder is it's construction is not initiated in other cities where apart ment'' houses abound, for it is both quaint and convenient One must enjoy the pie tureSque corners in European cities to appreciate this little court, surrounded by halls that might have stepped over from some Tudor mansion, so English is their architecture, but which, be it Said is adapted to ease-loving American ideas. The TudorS would simply be the wonders if they could see what comfort we mod erns demand for our everyday living. But there is nothing like combining the past with the present styles. It makes charming association of ideas. In the afternoon, when the western sun is shin ing under that arch and the early English ted against the light, 1t must be a very indifferent observer who does not admire the effect or have it recall some foreign neighborhood 5000 miles at least from that Trinitys Court has the advantage in
 point of cleanliness to any place, however historic or picturesque, abroad. It is so swept and garnished, and the little iron balconies, With their gardening vines and potted plants, are so unlike story book decorations that there can be no mistake that this is really typical American order
 The clocks vis-a-vis on the towers are purely Bostonese. It is fancied they think themselves the Cog and Magog of this city, and while they are voiceless they keep up devil of a thinking about what goes on around them. The flight of time is a serious matter with these two big dials; but watch them as you may, one never gets ahead of the other. They are twins with but one single thought and hands that beat as one.-BoSton Herald
