One for the Judge.

Lord Esher had many amusing stories
to tell of his experience on the bench.
Once a well-known lady litigant de-
scribed the late Master of the Rolls as
"a perfect darling" A short time be-
fore he retired Lord Esher told a
troublesome applicant that her case
had been sent to be tried by a certain
learned Judge without jury, adding,
He is a capital lawyer, you know, and
will try your case very nicely" But
she demurred, and, pressing her request
for jury, said sOh, yes, my lord, Mr..
Justice - is all very well as to law;
but. my lord-and in this respect I am
also in a difficulty in your lordship' S
court-my case requires SO much COM
mon sense. Lord Esher was so de-
lighted with this that he persuaded the
court to dismiss the lady's application
without costs-St- James Gazette.

The abolition of old and cumbersome

that they are the servants, not the
masters of the people. The tariffs,
which are now a double-acting barrier

needed; the monetary system must be
reformed; and public education must
be made universal, free and effective.

THE PRESUMPTION OF AFFEc
TION.

Up in Washington before one Of the
courts there arose recently very novel
question, one that we think has been
before no other law tribunal The
court charged the jury that the law
presumes the husband who lives with
his wife, has children by her and MAIN
tains the usual relation of husband, has
AN affection for her. land this presume
ton continues until it is overthrown by
a fair preponderance of testimony to
the contrary"
It would seem silly that any one
should contend to the contrary of that
r1le. But in the case under notice ore
of the parties held the charge of the
court to be error and that affection be-
tween husband and wife is thing to
be established as is any other fact So
the case went up, but the Appellate e
Court affirmed the instruction given in
the court below. declaring that it was
not prepared to accept the pessi1nistic
view of the marriage relation contend
ed for by the appellant.
It is unfortunate that any such ques-
ton should have been raised AS Case
and Comment" we'll remarks:
If domestic life in this country had
reached so low a Level that a husband 8
love for his wife could no longer be pre-
. sumed. it would be darkly significant
of national decadence. No civilization
worth the name viii long exist without
domestic virtues When the sense Of
the sacredness Of ones obligation to-
ward his wife and the mother OF his
children dies away his loyalty to other
obldsations may be justly suspected.

Attorney General Griggs has sounded
the keynote of National policy concern
ing the Philippines. He declares that
the nations Of the world look to the
United States as the raghtful sover-
eign Of the archipelago, and will hold
US responsible for it. That If we shirk
that responsibility, or cast it upon an
other, or recognize mere seeming Of a.
Government by the insurgents. a vain
and fancdful thing, without power or
ability to command respect, we will be
the scorn and laughing stock Of the
world and will deserve its contempt
The. Record Union weeks ago ex-
pressed the same sentiments The con-
servative Eastern press Of high repre-
sentative character holds to the same
doctrine now. We are confronted with
conditions which imperatively define
our duty in the premises, and from that
duty there is no escape with national
honor.

Chicago formerly deposited and to a
certain extent still deposits her drain
age filth in Lake Michigan, from which
at the end Of four-mile intake she
draws her water for domestic uses. a
few years ago the city began the con-
struction of a sewer discharge system
that diverts the drainage of the town
away from direct discharge into the
lake. When the system is complete it
will have cost $2,OOO.0OO, but Mayor
Harrison says it will be the cheapest
thing the city ever purchased, and the
best The diversion of two main sewers
has been effected already, and the di-
rect discharge into Lake Michigan
stopped. This diversion was effected
last summer, but by the end Of Febru-
ary last, says the Mayor in a recent
message, the Health Department re-
ported material and astonishing results.

1t is possible that to some extent the
French idea has grown into our sys-
tenn, namely that respect is SUFFICIENT
to warrant marriage and that affection,
like growth in grace, should follow with
association But the American with ti1e
good old ideas will prefer the system
that demands true love as the precur-
sor of marriage. That at least fortihes
the presumption of affection which the
court SO valiantly defends
If the presumption isl not to be main

"A TERRIBLE CHARGE"
Stockton Mail: Last April. speaking
to 1900 business men in Boston, Pro-
fessor Heron said: There is not the
slightest intention on the part Of the
Administration to set Cuba free. 1t is
d foregone conclusion, so far as the ex-
listing order Of things is concerned, that
Cuba shall be annexed, and, If neces-
sary, civil strife induced in order that
we may have excuse for annexation
That was D. terrible charge to make;
but in the two months since it was
made nothing has occurred tending to
disprove it, while much has occurred to
corroborate it.
TRUST CONTRIBUTION
Los Angeles Express: The trusts
organized during the past year have
contributed several million dollars to
the support of the Federal Govern
ment, which they would cheerfully have
escaped if they could have done So
In the formation of one corporation in
New York the war revenue stamps
amounted to $95, 600, in another $67,75O
and in a third $57, 900. There can be
no doubt that these various sums will
be considered by the respective combi-
nations in their issues of stock.
NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE WITH
COURTS
Stockton Record: It too frequently
happens that newspapers undertake to
influence cases on trial in the courts.
The practice is one which is not condu-

nanced. It is bad enough for the news
paper to undertake to prejudice litiga-
ton, but it is ten times worse when.
an attorney in a case does his own
newspaper work in an attempt to in
f1uence the administration Of law in
behalf Of his contention. This is what
Patrick Reddy is doing in the "CaH"
in connection with the mining troubles
in Idaho. Reddy Is the attorney for
the strikers, and each day there is pub
l1shed under his signature on the first
page of the ''CalP' matter calculated to
work up public sympathy in behalf of
his clients. The procedure cannot be
too strongly condemned, irrespective of
the merits Of the case. If newspapers
are to become special pleaders in cases
in court then they will no longer be
taken for their news, but simply be
retained in the same manner as at

William Weston, q hack driver re-
siding at 1872 Leon street, has q brace

almost to death.
Mr.. Snyder, q RAILROAD man residing
at 131 Leon St. with Instantly, had
an occasion q short while ago to send
Beulah his nine year old daughter to a
ighboring store to purchase some
articles. The little girl was tripping
along merrily when one of Weston's
dogs started at the unprotected little
lady and kept up series of yelping
and snarling. The child attempted
to run, whereupon the brute give a
short lap and caught the girls right
hand, burying it's teeth deep in the
flesh, inficting painful wound.
A woman residing near the Weston
dOmicile, who does not wish her name
divulged, is now wearing a bandage
upon her hand as the result of q bite
from one of these ours. The lady made
complaint to the police and begged
that the dogs be muzzled or chained.
This was over q week ago but nothing
has been done 80 far in the premises

large about the neighborhood, snap
ping at everything in sight and keep
ing the neighbOrs in constant fear of
mOlestation from the vicious beasts.
