ENGLISH AND AMERICAN JUSTICE:

An exchange is of the opinion that En-
| glish justice, as illustrated in the case of
Mrs. Maybrick, is about the proper thing,
intimating that American justice is too
lax. If it were impossible to convict an
innocent person of crime, such a conten-
ton might hav considerable merit. But
in the nature Of things many persons ac-
cused of crime, and convicted in the
courts, are innocent of the o~ffenses
charged, while others are punished be-
You'd reason for crimes actually COM
mitted.
The refusal of the home secretary to
intervene in the case of Mrs. Maybrick is
based on the stupid and bull-headed idea
of the immutability of English Justice
that the courts are infallible. and their
DEGREES, like the laws of the Modes and
Persians. are irrevocable. The fact that
Mrs. Maybrick was convicted on circum-
stantial evidence of the fimsiest characs
ter, by a judge who was Anticipated and
who subsequently lost what little mind he
originally possessed, is not taken into &C!
count, because it would, forsooth, reflect
upon the dignity of the English courts! A
decision is a decision, whether it is good,
bad or Indifferent. Therefore, an Amer
lean woman, who is believed to be inno-
cent of the crime of murder, must be per-
m.tted to rot in an English prison without
even the concession of a new trial.
How an American newspaper can reach
represents justice it is impossible to un-
derstand. Advanced civilization recog-
n:zes that in the administration of justice
a man charged with crime has rights Just
as sacred to him as are the rights of a
good and pure and enlightened newspa-
per man who never does anything wrong.
Judges are human beings, honorable and
well-intentioned though they may be, and
there is always a possibility, especially
elusive, that an innocent mar is being
made to unjustly suffer the rigors Of the
law.
Happily the right of appeal to a tri-
bun of mercy rests with the unfortunate
victim of American law, for in this coun-
try civil authorities are not afraid to imi-
tate the example Of Almighty God occas-
ionally n grant clenency where it
seems to be deserved. In England they
have not reached that stage of civilization
in matters Of jurisprudence where it is
regarded as the highest and hottest and
recognize a mistake and correct a wrong.

correct a wrong.

With the business and property holding
interests in the Philippines in full SYM
pathy with American occupancy, it is not
at all strange that from among their
number should arise influential advocates
of the federal cause.
One Isabelle Artacho has to some extent
distinguished himself in this line, if all
reports are true, and is likely to dissuade
many of the misguided followers Of
Aguinaldo from the error of their way.
To the average American citizen the
efforts of this friendly Filipino appeals
with special force, as a foretaste of the
fidelity to American rulership that can
reasonably be expected from the natives
when out from under the baneful influ-
ences Of the desperate brigand who as
pires to the dictatorship Of that people.
But with a perversity worthy a better
cause, the democratic press classify Arta-
cho as a rival adventurer" of A%guinaldo.
He is accorded no credit for his efforts
in behalf of the American cause, by the
anti-imperialistic organs in this country
other than a desire to pose as a rival tc
that distinguished cut-throat.
Under no circumstances will the demo
cratic press accredit this champion of the
American cause with either sincerity OF
ability, as against their own beloved
George Washington Aguinaldo, unless
they can discredit the valor of American
arms by showing that victory would have
been an impossibility had not the Fill
pinos made it possible by falling GU,
among themselves. .
AS a political campaign argument II
may become necessary for the democracy
to boom Artacho a little, even if he be tn,
enemy and rival" Of their patron saint
1t will suit them better than to attach
any credit to the war department for tn,
victory that finally will be achieved.

4 GLOOMY VIEW OF II.

The Chicago Record has been doing it's
best to make things smooth for the Hon.
w. j. Bryan in 1900. 1t has thrown the
weight of its influence his way wherever
occasion offered, and given his friends the
benefit Of the doubt when controversies
have arisen between them and his party
opponents. 1t is clear, however, that the
Record is getting discouraged over the
outlook. In a review Of Mr.. Bryan's pros
poets next year, in the event of his nomi-
nation, the Record says:
In 1896 Mr.. Bryan received IFS electoral
votes. To have been successful 224 cleo
toral votes were necessary. If IN 1900 the
democratic candidate for president sue
ceeds in retaining all the states carried
by Mr.. Bryan in 1896 he will lack 40 votes.
1t is not improbable that Kentucky in
1900 will add II votes to the democratic
column, which would make a total of 1S1,
or 81 less than a majority. OF those states
which Mr.. Bryan failed to carry the re-
suit in four indicated hat he had a fight
ing chanc These states, with their re-
publican pluralit.es and electoral votes,

ing in New York, told how Admiral
Dewey "called down" a German officer
who attempted to effect a landing at Ma
Mia despite the American blockade, there
was a buzz of excitement all over the
country, and it was freely predicted that
the incident would lead to International
ington interested themselves in the mat
ter and it finally ended by laying the al
legged statements of the indiscreet cap
tain to the press reporters. Germany ac-
cepted the explanation, and the incident
was brought to a happy conclusion, not
w~ithstanding the fact that one of the fea-
which the kaiser compared himself with
God to the detriment of the latter.
But if Captain Coghlan hinted at casus
belli, by retailing what is alleged to have
passed between his superior officer, Ad-
miral Dewey, and the German sea cap
tain, what construction can be placed on

himself by the Inter Mountains tele-
graphic advices today? The hero of Ma
Mia bay unhesitatingly declares that the
next war in which the United States will
be involved is Germany. He makes the
statement without reservation, and pre-
sumably bases it upon the many I'M

Coming from Admiral Dewey, such a
declaration will necessitate an %explana-
ton as to why it was made, and the
grounds for his belief that a conflict may
be impending will be widely discussed.
rage is to be expected. and the emperor
is not likely to pass the incident in si-
lence. The kaiser will believe that Ad-
miral Dewey represents American senti-
ment and the purposes of the administra-
ton. This idea will be strengthened on
the other side of the water by the repu-
otAoAA W NAS AohAAoNC AL al
of saying only what he means.
When Admiral Dewey refused to call
on Emperor francis Joseph of Austria
the other day, because a reception beft-
ting his rank as a representative of the
American navy had not been accorded
him when he landed in that country, he
gave to European %potentates a definite
idea as to the sturdy character of the
man. The admiral is not seeking per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT, or trying to draw
attention to himself, but he insists that
his rank as an American citizen shal be
respected in peace as we'll as in war. To
the German emperor may come the re-
Election that America has a Bismarck Of
Its own.

The suit of George Il. Thomas against

couple Of weeks looking into

ceded that the work Of the com

that they will be blessing in
stead Of menace to the mining
interests Of the peninsula. There
is no reason why the developed
mines Of this county should pay
the major portion of the taxes
while valuable lands that can't
be purchased n any price be-
cause their owners believe miner
al exists upon them should get
off with ridiculously low assess
