ONE TRIAL AND NO MORE.

The termination of the third trial Of
DR.. Kennedy I'm a disagreement Of the
Jury was not unexpected.
In the very nature Of things the diff

increases with every year that passes
after the crime is committed Time
works constantly to destroy evidence
and dissipate proof. Witnesses for the
people die, disappear or. being lamp
cred with, vary their first testimony.
Meanwhile the accused man with every
new trial is able to shift his ground or
defense and bring forward new evil
dence. And the fact that a. large part
of such new evidence is not really dis
covered but invented does not deprive
1t Of more or less weight with the iurv
On the whole. therefore, the district
attorney would be justified III deciding
TO drop the case. Every new trial

NO PREFERENTIAL Duty.
Sir Michael Hicks-Beach Sees Nc
Good in It.

London, June 20.-During the course
of a discussion of the clauses Of the fin
ance bill in the house Of commons to-
day, the chancellor of the exchequer,
Sir Michael Hicks Beach. informed the
mover of an amendment providing for
a preferential duty on sugar from the
British colonies that he had no inten-
ton of embarldng on such policy. 1t
would he said, benefit neither this
country nor the colonies, would deprive
the exchequer of revenue without ben
efitting the consumer, and might en-
danger trade with foreign countries
There was a. strong feeling on this sub
ject in Germany and the acceptance OF
the amendment would mean running a
most serious risk of losing the favored
nation treatment Great Britain now
enjoyed in Germany.
If preference was extended to sugar
from Canada. Australia would want spe-
cial treatment for other products. and
then foreign countries would offer the
same concessions to the colonies and ask
for similar treatment He was not pre-
pared to risk the terms of Great Brit
aims foreign trade, which was greater
than the trade of the colonies. The pref
~ benefited trade between Great Britain,
for the simple reason that the preference
granted still left a protective duty
against the British and in favor of the
Canadian manufacture. Although hap

Mayor Hughes Plans to Get Rid Of

some Of his braves are inclined to truclSle

thinks, to perform the historic ceremony
of decaDitatiOn- "A lot of the men who
wear stars and lie in ambush for the
dispenser of beer and brono. viii be sac
rihced on the political block.
Mayor Hughes says that the reason Tor
the changes Is because some OF the mem
bers Of the force are not in sympathy
with his administration That means that
they were not out throwing up their hats
prior to the recent primaries and steering
the Hughes voters through the crooked
thoroughfares to the voting places
Mr. Hughes has supply of dog catch
ers which will soon be left on his hands,
and he is getting ready to take care OF
them Enough OF the old members of the
police force have been marked for Sla ugh
ter to make room for some of the choicest
of the dog-eat itching brigade It is deem
ed that catching dogs is splendid prepa-
ration for the work of policeman. It may
be that in future a preliminary course in
dog catching viii be made compulsory to
work on the police force
Just when the opening of the police
reservation will occur has not been de-
termined- This question is still under
consideration by Mayor Hughes interior
department But the object viii be to get
rid OF all the rest of the old and expert
enced men on the police force and replace
them with politicians
