ANOTHER instance OF 1.-The rapidly
with which juriss are secured
under the New jersey system is
afforded by the case of the state
against Thomas g. Barker, charg-
ed with assault upon Rev. John
Keller with intent to kill. Here
was a case which, FROM its sensa-
tional character, had been dis
cussed by the people Of New
Jersey for months. Hardly q
man, woman or child was there
in Jersey City or the surrounding
country who had not formed an
opinion of the guilt or innocence
of the defendant, yet just thirty
FIVE minutes after the first tales
mans name was called the jury
was sworn and the prosecutor was
ready to open the case. Here, or
in almost any other state, days
would have been consumed.

In the case Of the state against
Daniel 81. Brown at Glendale,
Judge Glaspell made ruling that
will be of interest to the farmers,
and that is with regard to the
state law permitting cattle to run
at large in the winter time. The
court holds that because the law
permits them to run at large, they
cannot be trespassers, and people
who have hay stacks out must pro-
tect them, and they cannot sue for
damages done by cattle running at
large. The judge evidently does
not express his opinion as to
whether this law is good or not,
but bases his decision entirely
upon the fact that it is the law of
the state, and therefore must stand
until changed.

INTERNATIONAL DIVORCE.

The approaching trial, on a
charge Of bigamy, of Lord Russell
will direct the attention of the
whole world to the necessity of an
equitable and, if possible, inter
national divorce code. The noble
earl was married in England. He
eloped with woman from that
country and obtained.a residence
in the United States. He obtain
ed his residence here under an
assumed name. As soon as he
had become citizen Of Nevada
he secured divorce from his
countess. The woman who &C.
companied him was at the same
time divorced from her husband
and the two were united in mar
rage according to the laws OF
Nevada. When his lordship re-
turned to England he was arrest
ed and charged with having con-
tracted a bigamous marriage.
There is some doubt in this
particular case whether the divorce
obtained in Nevada was legal.
But, putting aside, that aspect of
the case, the affair demands at
tention, because tits representa-
tive of the danger of our various
systems Of granting divorce. 1t
is too much to expect that any
thing like an international divorce
code will be established. The
various churches could never be
made to look upon divorce as a
necessary evil or to agree upon
common grounds for divorce. The
stupidity Of system which holds
couple divorced in North Da-
kota and married in New York
must presently appeal to those
moralists who exclaim against
divorce for any cause.

In view Of the decision of the
Supreme Court in the Porto Rioan
cases, somebody ought to start a
movement at once for the annexs-
ton of Canada. It is now, under
Che dictum of the court, perfectly
feasible to annex Canada and still
to collect duties on everything
which the Canadians send across
the border. 1t will also be
possible to govern the Canadians
without giving them any repre-
sentatives in our congress 81
Washington. The idea Of Cana.
dian annexation should be much
more popular than it has been
heretofore.

to this special tax, required to pay

ANOTHER STORY.
While the United States hav

While the United States have
just cause to be proud of the
unprecedented increase in the
general exports Of the country,
there is also reason to note the
decline that has taken place in the
value of manufactured exports.
There has been a falling off in the
exports of this class Of articles
extending over the last few months
that is just as remarkable as the
wonderful gain made in other
lines. The decline was first felt
last November. The exports were
$32,280,O00, while in November,
1899, they amounted to $50, $780,
600, decline ofsl, 100000. There
was a bigger drop from the record
of the preceding December. Last
December the exports of manu-.
featured articles amounted to
$780, 100000, while for the same
month of 1899 the total was $685.
650,000, or decrease of So, $780,
600. March Of this year recorded
the largest falling off, with total
expectation of $34,97O,OO0, while
the exports during March, 1900,
we're S44,770,000, a loss for last
March of nearly sl0,000,000 or %
per cent. Fortunately, this per-
centage of loss will not be seen in
the ten months preceding April 80
as compared with the same period
of the preceding year. But the
loss is sufficiently great to, be
noticeable, especially in relation
to the total exports. The export
ofmanufactures for the ten months
preceding April 30, 1901, was
$352,67l,206, or 300 per cent of
the total exports Of 81, l52, 96l: 1912,
while the exports of the manu-
facturers for the ten months
preceding April 80, 1901, amount
ed to s339,31o,6l4, or only 27.4
per cent of the total export OF
81, 1885, 54,264. According to the
figures furnished by the govern
ment, its principal loss has been in
the export Of copper ingots, in
which there was loss Of sll, 000,-
600, and in mineral oils, where
there was q loss of nearly S., 000,-
1000. Other articles which declin-
ed were uncolored cotton goods,
cycles and parts, steel wire, cook
ing machinery, pumps and pump.
ing machinery locomotive engines
and iron pipes and fittings.
