"DEALiNG WITH CRIMES ~
(From the Chicago Times Herald, on
Jan. 12th, 1901

(From the Chicago Times Herald, on
Jan. 12th. 1901
The citizens of the Dominion of Can
ada have Just cause to be proud Of
their record as abiding people. The
annual report OF the criminal statls-
ties OF the Dominion. which has .
population of over 5000. 900, 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 az
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
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 imm,i-
nifty from crime TO the promptness
"ssh lh uStCu 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 meted out to
criminals of all kinds. the result being
that when the guardians OF the public
t,. h,J.. -
the bar they are seldom called upon to
hunt him second time.
Furthermore, there are few court de-
lays in Canada when a 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-
luniIles anu privileges tndt our own
laws extend to them. The extent to
shield the guilty is lacking-that is all.
The above. taken from the editorial
column OF the Times Herald, gives
some idea OF the immunity from crime
that exists in Canada. and this is one
of the many inducements held out for
Americans to settle in the district
known as Western Canada. The sea-
son of 1901 will see few new sections
OF the country opened up for settle
ment. They are attractive in every
respect. 1t is understood that one OF
the best Indian Reserves In the famous
Valley OF the Saskatchewan will be
opened up this year. and an invita-
tton is extended to those desiring
homes TO make inquiries. Tho price OF
the land Is said to be nominal Be-
sides these lands. the several railway
companies have lands to sell; also the
government For particulars write to
the agent OF the government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere.

KING EDWARD OPENS
PARLIAMENT.
No Such spiendor for Years as the oocasio,
Produced.


Produced.
The first parliament of the reign of
King Edward VII. was opened Thurs
day afternoon by the king in person.
His Majesty was accompanied by Queen
Alexandra, the Duke of Connaught and
many others of the royal family. The
last state ceremony OF the kind occurred
in 1851, when Queen Victoria opened
parliament, accompanied by the Prince
Consort, and since the death of the lat
ter nothing equalling the pomp has
been witnessed in London in connec-
tion with the opening OF the legisla-
ture until now.
In his speech, in referring to South
Africa, the king said
THE war in South Africa is not yet
entirely terminated, but the capitals
OF the enemy and his principal lines of
communication are in my possession,
and measures have been taken which
will, l trust, enable my troops to deal
sffectually with the forces by which
they are still opposed.
Il greatly regret the loss of life and
expenditure of treasure due to the
fruitless guerrilla warfare maintained
by Boer partisans in the former terri
tories of the two republics. Their
early submission is much to be desired
In their own interests, as until it takes
place 1t will be impossible for me to
establish in those colonies tho institu-
tions which will secure the equal rights
of all the white inhabitants and pro-
lection and justice for the native popu-
lation,

Can't Collect the Tax.

The store order tax cases, recently
heard by the Dauphn county court,
were decided on Friday in favor of the
corporations which appealed from the
taxes levied against them by the state
authorities. The court does not touch
upon the constitutionalty of the act,
but finds that none of the corporations
were taxable under the act itself.
In the Rochester and Pittsburg Coal
and Coke Company case, Judge Simon
ton decides that the company has issued
no orders within the terms of the act,
and, therefore, is not taxable.
In the case against the Bethlehem
Steel Company Judge Weiss decides
that pay envelopes are not checks,
ORDERS. etc, within the terms of the act.
The cases against j. S. Meyer & Co. and
the Hyatt Slate Company were decided
by Judge Weiss on the same grounds.
In the Empire Mining Company case,
Judge Weiss holds that the company is
sued no orders not redeemable within
thirty days.
Attorney General Elkin represented
the commonwealth and Congressman
Olmsted, of Harrisburg, the corpora
tions in these cases. The law was passed
by the last legislature, at the request of
the United Mine Workers, and levies Il
tax of 25 per cent on the face value
of store orders, checks, dividers, etc. ),
issued by corporations
Attorney General Elkn says that the
auditor generals department will con-
tinue making settlements against firms
and corporations until it does get de-
cision on the constitutionality of the
law, and will take the cases decided last
week to the supreme court.
