At legal dinner in New York the
other night Justice Leventritt suggest
ed that the defendants counsel as well
as the prosecution should have the right
to make a general statement at the
opening of the trial. Thus, he said, the
jury would have the theory of the whole
case at the outset, and would be better
able to understood the purport Of cross
examination 'The summing up he
continued, sis an inadequate remedy,
because If the jurors have already gone
astray all the eloquence and argu-
1nents of counsel will not bring them
back to the point of impartial contem-
plation. The corrective is applied too
late. Nor can the charge OF the court
cure the evil If it has crept in"

The dispatch received i'll Paris from NJ.
Pichon, the French minister to Pekin
shows that the Chinese authorities have
been lying to the ENJOYS. NJ. Pichon re-
ports that thu government urged the min
listers to leave Pekin under an escort. in
response to the demands Of their respective
governments. There has never been the
least foundation for such representation
certainly as far as the United States is con-
cerned. What this government has urged
upon China has been first the security of
tke envoys, second the cooperation of the
Chinese government with the relieving
forces at Tian Tsin. There has been no
proposal that China send the foreigners out
of Pekin under a guard. because it has been
too apparent from the outset that no Chi
neSe guard could he trusted in the long
stretch of country between Pekin and Tien
TSin. infested with Boxers. uncomfortable
troops and Il hostile populace. NJ. Pichon
and the other ministers very wisely and
properly declined to he led into this trap
They awaited orders from their govern
ments and thus spared China from the COM
mission of probably another crime. The
message Just sent to China by this govern
ment is a clear answer to this situation,
in the escort proposition and looks to China
to safeguard the ministers in more direct
and responsible manner by clearing away
the troops wno were at last reports firing
regularly on the legations. The answer of
China to this note will tend greatly to set
tie the situation either for peace or war.

Making n "FrOnt,"

The latest report is that William J. Stone
of Missouri is to have charge of the east
ern end of Mr.. Bryans campaign. with
headquarters in New York. May this be
accepted as still further evidence that the
democrats are merely making front for
their national ticket so far as the east is
concerned?
Quite recently Mr. German was men
toned for that post. and he would have
been an admirable selection. He is not on
good terms with Mr.. Hill, and that might
have been a slight drawback so far New
York state was concerned. But through
out the whole of the east he has the conf
dence of his party. and has known its or
ganization there since 1881. when he pulled
Mr. Cleveland through by the narrowest of
majorites. Had he consented to serve. his
presence at headquarters would have at
tracted attention. But Mr.. German was
not available. He is, as always. regular"
bu1 the belief is that he has little If any
heart in this campaign.
Then there j ex-senator Smith of New
Jersey He has the reputation of an or
New York and Connecticut very well. Was
an effort made tn secure him? And if so
what explains the failure? Did he plead
his gold opinions? Did he doubt his ability
to rally the hosts to the standard of impe-
ralism. or III to l. He is a man of large
means. of extensive business connections
and. while active i'll politics. he gave lib
orally for campaign purposes.
But if it was necessary to import a man
ager from distance. why Mr.. Stone? He
has no strength in the east. He is slightly
known there. as the result of an occasional
visit to New York. when enterprising re-
porters have drawn him out on the political
topics of the day. But he has never ex-
hibited any sympathy with the eastern
view of any public question, and a re-
suit he is regarded there leader among
those men west of the Alleghenies who of
late years have been trying to cast the east
out from the councils of democracy. And
vet he is selected now to make headquar-
ters right In the heart of the distrusted and
despised east. and try to whoop things up
for Mr.. Bryan and free silver.
1t must he mere front 1t cannot
mean business. for the move has no aspect
of business about It. And 1t cannot be a
joke. for the democracy is in no mood or
condition just now to indulge In humor
But why make so poor 'front.'

Oh, where are the follies of summer flown ?
No more We hear of the kissing bug
Who came from source that was all un-
known
And caused the lasses to shrek and shrug.
The kissing bug-he has taken wing.
And we even hint there was no such thing.
And we hear no more Of the monster
strange
That made US shudder and fear to sleep
The sad sea serpent has ceased to range
On his 'customed course through the dis
NAL deep.
We simply smile at our old-time fuss
And wonder that we were so credulous
We hear no more of the summer girl
Who once was praised in exalted rhymes
Her fluffy dress and "her dainty curl
Are only an echo of bygone times.
No more do we gather to sing her praise;
She is only a half remembered phrase
Oh. where are the follies of summer flown
Where is each foible and fleeing fad?
Those friends have drifted to realms un-
known
And left the scene to one stalwart lad.
We see no more of the good old clan,
And all We have left is the shirt waist man.

wait at Yangtsun for reinforcements and
the development of events. This place is
of Importance from a strategic point Of
view, being at the junction Of the railroad
with the Pei-ho, and thus commanding the
approaches to Pekin both by way Of
Woutsing and Tungchou.
The Chinese were apparently much more
easily routed at Yangtsun than at Pietsang.
The severe lesson taught them at the lat
ter place has thus evidently had its effect.
1t is possible, of course, that the successive
retreats Of the Chinese may have been
planned to lure the allies away from T1en
Tsin and thus permit a flanking move
ment. cutting them from their base. Rein
forcements, however, are steadily arriving.
and 1t will doubtless soon be possible for
the internationals to organize comprehen-
sive campaign, with supporting columns to
protect the lines and prevent a wheeling
movement of the Chinese. As far as the
dispatches show thus far, the allies have
hammered the Chinese back in a direct
line, and there has been no sign of move
ment on their part to swing off to one
side or the other
