have become necessary. So the testi
mony is excluded, and the case is ap-
pealed to the appellate court and then
to the supreme court, and after many
months the supreme cour. decide 8
that the testimony should have been
admitted and the case is reversed and
remanded, and it goes on trial again
where it commenced, and when they
get down to the particular evidence
that was of such vital Importance
they find that the witness is dead or
left the country. 1t might be about
as well to follow the French practice
of accepting all kinds of testimony
and then using that which suits the
judges or the jury"
But all things considered, COMPARE
son with other countries makes the
American citizen proud of his own
system of jurisprudence, as if all
things, differing from other forms of
government And we have drifted as far
away from the virtues of the govern
ment of the people in the past year
as we can do with safety.

National Differences in Court.

There is n marked difference be-
tween the French court as conducted
by a court-martial and a law court rs
conducted under the rules of this
country. In the Dreyfus case it
seems ridiculous for a witness on the
stand to give his ideas, opinions. the
cries, hearsays, etc. both relevant
and irrelevant, and the more
successful the effects of studied
efforts To make an impression
or create a sensation the more
enviable becomes the reputation and
standing of the witness. The theory
of our courts is very good, the idea
being to admit only the testimony re-
lative TO the matter at issue. Yet it
has its abuses. The Springfield Reg
lister for instance says: Anyone who
has ever been in attendance on the
sessions of the court in this country
to any extent cannot but realize how
often the great American legal phase
of we object is used to defeat
proper understanding of the matter
on trial. The attorney who has the
witness in hand asks some question
of vital Importance, n truthful au-
swer To which might settle the whole
controversy, when the opposing coun-
sci will spring up like a wild hyena
with the everlasting We object,
and when the Judge mildly says the
objection if sustained. the attorney
sits down with sort of an expression
that seems to say that was narrow
escape and so il may be, for if that
o election had not.been sustained, that
witness would have told all he knew
about the matter and the case would
have been settled right there. And
that testimony admitted would not

FRANCE TO ISSUE NEW STAMPS.

FRANCE TO ISSUE NEW STAMPS,
The postoffice has decided to replace
the present French stamps by Others of
a new design. 1t is generally admitted
that the vignette that has long bsen in
use is, if not pre2irely ugly al least in
significant and wanting in character.
The notion of improving on it is doubt
less an excellent one, but it remains to
be seen how far it Will be successful.
Certain recent efforts of the authors
ties of similar kind have not been
particularly happy. The new coins,
Tor instance, that have just been put in
circulation are far more generally crit
cised than approved. However, this
is, of course, no reason why the new
stamps should also be a comparative
failure. In any case, no nains are to
be spared to obtain a satisfactory re-
suit The system of an open compete
ton having been tried some time ago
without success, it has been decided to
ask a few of the most talented French
engravers to send in designs, the best
of which will be chosen. The task will
be intrusted in all probability to. en-
gravers of the younger school, the
names of Bottee, Patey and Vernon
being mentioned as likely to be among
the selected artists. 1t is proposed to
utilize three distinct de.igns, with a
view to lessening the number of col
at present-necessary to
distinguish between the different val
ues. 1t is hoped that the new stamps
VIII be ready in time for the exhibit
