great advantage to the boys.

LAW.

Judge Hartwell is quite correct
about the necessity of making it more
expensive to take up petty appeals.
An appeal over petty case involv-
ing the ownership of pig worth ten
dollars sometimes takes up the time
of the court to monetary value of
between seventy and eighty dollars,
and ii is very evident that the gener-
al ends of justice are not served by
such procedure, while it throws un-
necessary expense upon the tax pay
ers.
The main object of modern legal
Legislation seems to be to multiply the
laws delays and to give the criminal
an undue chance This has become a
crying evil in the United States. and
is the cause of certain acts of law
lessness on the part of the citizens.
The French law on the other hand is
unduly severe on the criminal and al
lows him to be bullied and brow beat
in the chambers of the Judge dim
struction," in order to eXtort a con-
fession which no Anglo-SaXon nation
ality would stand.
Between the American system of too
much latitude and the French of too
little, there is a via media which we
should aim at for criminal cases. Be
tNppn tho liUbt aNnapca pf annual I'm
petty cases in this country, and the
immense costliness of appeal in Eng
land, there must also be a middle
path, and that is what a young coun-
try like this should aim at The men

matters are the lawyers. Unfortunate

agree, and between the two stools the

THE MONGOOSE.

Some one has been proposing to eX-
tirpate the rats in Wales by the intro
duction of the mongoose. This has
called forth the protest of a writer in
the London Field. who gives IA history
of the Jamaica mongoose, which coin
cides with our experience here.
The mongoose was turned loose In
Jamaica in 1871. and did its work in
eXtirpating the rats, but in 1891 the
Legislative Council OF Jamaica had to
appoint a commission to see how the
pest of the mongoose could be stayed.
The result was that relentless war
upon the mongoose was proclaimed.
and bounty of three-half pence for
the skin of every male and three pence
for the skin of every female was Of
fered.
The sins of the mongoose in Jamai-
ca were many. He first cleared off the
wild guinea fowl. which had been ac-
climated, and which fourshed well,
as our imported quail did here, to
meet the same fate as the Jamaica
guinea fowl. and from the same cause.
The native ring-tailed pigeon has been
eXterminated. The land crabs. con-
sidered one of the greatest delicacies
on the Island, and which used to be
found in legions. are now as rare as
needles in hay stack. OF course
chickens, ducks and turkeys have fat
len into the omnivorous nav of the
mongoose. But not only this he IS
charged with producing a plague of
ticks and grass lice, from which ia
maica is suffering The writer in the
Field says: "These are now seen
crawling on every blade of grass, ana
entail enormous suffering on man and
beast, but it is only since the mon
goose destroyed the ground lizards
and eXtirpated the insectivorous birds
that used to prey upon them"
After rejoicing over the introduce
ton of the mongoose during the eigh-
ties, we of the Hawaiian Islands nave
got to calling the animal a ''pest,"
upon our statute books, and we shall
before long have to come TO he il
maica plan and offer bounty fer his
skin. The introduction of the mon
goose here and in Jamaica is an exam
pie of i'll advised acclimatization On a
par with that of the sparrow in Ame-
rica and the rabbit in Australia. 1t
is said that the cobra sometimes gets
the better of the mongoose, but the
remdy of introducing corbas would
be worse than the disease.

no STATUTE.

\ special study of the Statutes made
by Il couple of lawyers shows that
there is no special Statute under
which the forgers of the government
notes, if they are discovered, can be
brought up. There is statute for
forging coin, and the penalty is life
Imprisonment, while for uttering the
coin knowing it to be forged. the pen
atty is five years imprisonment, or Il
very heavy fine. There is also a sta
tute against forging postage stamps
or removing the postal marks and us
ing the stamps a second time. but no
one in his wisdom has ever thought
of making a special statute to cover
the forging of certificates of deposit,
issued by the government.
The statutes under which the Grim
inals, if found, can be brought up are
those for ordinary forgery, and then,
if the amount is small, the penalty is
small. or under that of gross cheat.
and there again the penalty is by no
means adequate to the otfense. \ man
who FORCES fifty cent coins is liable
TO life imprisonment. a man who for
ges fifty dollar bills is liable, at the ut
most, to five years Imprisonment, and
even then there is doubt if the sta
tute can reach him. 1t would be pos
sible for a good criminal lawyer to
get the criminal off.
This illustrates the laws of a coun-
try. They. are time and again made
to lock the stable door when the
horse has got out, but then there are
always other horses coming along.
But it does seem a marvellous instance
of the blindness of the minds of the
whole community when a law could
be passed to punish the forging of
coin and not one individual in the
whole country could see the necessity
of putting in section to cover the
forging of treasury bills.
There is no doubt that the Attorney
General will speedily bring in an ac.
to meet the situation, but none the
less this is a comment on the law
making capacities OF Legislatures IN
general and those of Hawaii in par
ticular. The fact is much legislation
is a system of stopping leaks instead
of building strong dams.
