Confederate Reunion.

The reunion of Confederate veterans
which meets in Memphis in the closing
days of May promises to be the most
successful gathering in the history Of
the Confederate organization. The
railroads entering Memphis are alive
TO the situation and have promised to
do everything possible looking toward
the comfort and pleasure of the old
soldiers and their friends. Every
courtesy will be extended the local
committees in meeting incoming trains
so that the thousands Of strangers
may be taken in hand and assigned to
their quarters. A special rate of one
cent a mile has been recommended by
the general passenger agents OF all
lines interested and it is certain that
the joint passenger association viii

"DEALING WITH CRIMES IN
CANADA"
CAN AID A.
(From the Chicago Times-Herald, on
Jan 18th, 1901

(From the Chicago Times-H Herald, on
Jan. 18th, 1907
The citizens of the Dominion of Can
ada have just cause to be proud of
their record as law abiding people. The
annual report Of the criminal statis-
ties OF tie Dominion, which has a
population of over 100000, shows that
there were only twenty-five indict-
ments for murder in 1899, of which
only two were left without final action.
Eleven of those indicted were hanged.
nine acquitted and three confined as
insane.
Canada is a country OF vast proper
tions. Its people are scattered over a
wide stretch Of territory. making po-
lice surveillance particularly difficult
and in many districts impossible. Yet
a city like New York or Chicago alone
furnishes far greater criminal list
every year. than the whole vast stretch
Of territory from Quebec to Vancou-
yer.
The Canadians ascribe their immu-
nifty from crime to the prOmptness
with which punishment is melted out
to offenders. When a man is caught
| red-handed in the act Of robbing an
other he is not released on straw bail
by some justice of the peace from the
| slums, to go out and repeat the offense.
Sharp and sure justice is melted out to
criminals of all kinds, the result being
that when the guardians of the public
peace succeed in bringing a thug to
the bar they are seldom called upon TO
| hunt him a second time.
| Furthermore. there are few court de-
| lays in Canada when criminal is
brought to book They have no Dreyer
cases over there There are no meth
DDS whereby Canadian criminals can
have the proceedings stayed from
month to month and from year to year
or after being convicted, appeal from
one court to another until witnesses
die of old age or opportunities for cor
ruption can be found.
Nor does this swift method of treat
ing with wrong-doers in Canada leave
the innocent unable to properly defend
themselves They have all the oppor-
tunities and privileges that our owl
laws extend to them The extent K

o Punish Hunting Homicides.

For several years each summer has
brought long and growing list of TRACE
dies In the northern woods, caused by hunt
ers installing human beings for game and
hiring at them. So serious has the case
become that many habitual frequenters of
the Adirondacks and other wilds have for
saken their former haunts, from fear of
being killed or mutilated by reckless game
seekers. There has even been a strong
suspicion that deliberate intent to kill or
MAIN has been hidden by stories of such
accidents. The state of Maine profits ma
terially from the summer sportsmen. for
whose benefit-not to mention that of the
state-stringent game laws have been
passed. The hunting homicide has of late
had the effect of lessening the number OF
visitors. and partly to remedy this condi-
ton, as well as to cope directly with the
evil ITSELF the state legislature at the ses-
sion just closed passed a law which ex-

The GOebeI Murder Again.

The way is being cleared in ne criminal
court at Frankfort, Kentucky. for the trial
of another man charged with completely in
the murder of William Goebel. The case
will be called on Tuesday. The accused is
a man of good social position, was connect
ed at the time of Mr. Goebels death with
the state militia, and it Is promised on the
part of the prosecution that some new and
highly sensational matter connecting eX-
Gov. Taylor with what is called the con-
spiracy to kill Mr.. GOebel will be brought
out at this trial The list of witnesses Is
long, and contains the names of some of
the most prominent men in the state.
Lawyers of ability Will appear on the one
side as on the other. and everything war;
rants the expectation of an intensely ex-
citing procedure.
But shall we witness only a repetition of
those things which In the eyes of so many
people made the trials of Caleb Powers and
James Howard little else than farces?
Shall another jury be selected whose men,
bership foots up eleven Goebel democrats
and a colorless individual of another kind?
Shall politics dominate the jury box, and
practically determine the verdict? Judge
Cantrin. whose rulings We're so severely
criticised, in the other trials will preside
again at this trial. The city of Frankfort
is a democratic stronghold. Mr.. Goebel
was very popular there, and nowhere else
in the state has more bitterness been
shown as the result of his taking off. For
these reasons this third trial Will be
watched with absorbing interest.
Moreover, Powers and Howard have been
granted new trials by the highest court of
the state and these are to follow in
short time. VIII the trial Of this third
man give any indication of change in pub
lie sentiment which will promise them
fairer play than they received on the
former occasion? The public has always
been puzzled by those two verdicts Pow
ers is man Of education and influence
His office was at stake, and his pride
aroused If he was guilty, as the jury de-
clared. he was the head and front of a con-
spiracy to commit murder. And the muir
der, 1t was insisted. was committed from
the windows Of his official quarters And
yet his sentence was only that of life i'm
prfsonment.
Howard, on the other hand Is a plain
man. without position or influence He Is
fighter. and has killed his man. But he
was not more exercised on the subject OF
that controversy over the state offices than
were the hundreds Of others with whom he
had journeyed to Frankfort He may not
have been better marksman. But he was
accused, his record as a bad man was
quoted against him, and he was convicted
and sentenced to death. Thus was pre-
sented the extraordinary spectacle of spar
ing the life of the man convicted of organ
izing the conspiracy to commit murder
and demanding that of the humble instru-
ment Of his temptation!
And this in small part explains why
lawyers and laymen alike and without re-
gard to party made the Kentucky air
vocal with denunciation of those two
trials.
