nation. They can never be required to
 convict themselves, either by an exam
 nation before or at the trial. Judge
 Baldwin contends that criminals ought not to enjoy thls freedom from eXamin-
 alton. He gives the history of the priv ilege, and shows clearly that 1t arose from the cruelty with which the Eng fish law formerly dealt with persons ac- cused of crime. The framers of our
 early constitutions feared that the new
 governments about to succeed the Brit
 ish Crown might abuse their power as the British Crown had abused it's power.
 For this cause, Judge Baldwin tells us
 we find these solemn guaranties in our
 American constitutions of the right of all accused of crime to have a fair no-
 tice of the charge, defense by counsel
 trial by jury, and exemption from being forced to testify against themselves, Judge Baldwin takes the same view that Jeremy Bentham did in his day,
 that in every criminal case, there is al
 ways one person who absolutely knows whether the accused is guilty, or not, and that is the accused himself. The best informed of all the witnesses is one which the English and American courts refuse to call.
 In Connecticut and in many states
 the prisoner IS permitted to testify in his own behalf, though he cannot be compelled to, and the jury are forbid l den, by law, to draw any inference against the prisoner from his failure to
 avail himself of this privilege. This
 seems like statute forbdding the jury td think
 Where a man is accused of crime, if he is innocent right to tell his own story is that which he most of all things should desire, and where he has the privilege, and refuses to testify in his own behalf the inference Is almost
 inevitable and 1t is perfectly justifable, | that innocence cannot be the reason of
 his silence.
 The author calls attention to the fact | that among Continental nations the
 accused Is always examined. It is by | what they do and what they say rather
 than by any other means that crimin-
 als are usually convicted and it is by | the same means that the innocent usu-
 ally escape. To exempt an accused | person from examination in this age, is like giving a premium to crime. At 1 all events it is rendering conviction diff | ficult without any apparent good reason | for 1t.
 | Judge Baldwin's book contains many other essays on variety of subjects, | legal and social, all of which are inter-
 esting and highly instructive.

PoLo's DEPARTURE
Taken on Advice Of the Canadian
Officials


NEW YORK. May 21.--A special to the
Herald from Montreal says:
1t has not been possible for Spain to
postpone the departure OF Senior Polo y
Bernabe any longer. Today he will sail
with all his stan by the steamer Dominion
for Liverpool.
Senior Polo went on board the steamer
last night and will go from Liverpool to
Madrid. He says that though he was de-
tanned here by business for some time, :. G
respected the declaration Of neutrality and
left this country voluntarily.
He leaves behind, however, the Spanish
Consul, to try to continue gathering infor-
nation for the Spanish government rela-
tive to the United States military and
naval movements. The authorities here
are closely watching the Consul, and he
will be promptly placed under arrest II
the slightest deviation from neutrality
laws Is detected.
Senior Polo Bernabe has been loud In
his declarations that no official protest had
been lodged against his proceedings here,
but he now practically admits that he wa
requested to return to Madrid. for 1t was
learned last night from an unimpeachab Bile
source that the Canadian government ad-
vised his departure.
Owing to diplomatic fiction that such
questions are not dealt with by the Cana
dian Cabinet. it was possible for our Sec-
rotary of State to say that the government
has not interfered. The action was taken
by the Governor. who is the Queens direct
representative here and who in such mat
tiers is supposed to. but never does act
without knowledge to the Cabinet.
Lieut.. Carranca, who left this city i'm
mediately after Downing's arrest, is, ac-
cording to statements by some of Senior
Polo's staff, to be sent to the Philippines
with the relief expedition. Other Span
iards however. assert that Lieut.. Car
ranca went to Madrid with important pa
pers. and will endeavor to join Cervera's
fleet or the fleet which expects to coal 1t
Miquelon.
Will Not Go Alone
MONTREAL, May 21.-Senor Polo, ex-
Minister to Washington. and party will
sail on the steamer Dominion for Liver
POOL en- route to Madrid. 1t is understood
Senior Du Bose, exchange d'Affaires at
Washington, will leave the boat at Que
bee and remain there or return here. A
United States secret service agent was a
passenger on board the Dominion.
