]. F. DELAcY.
The above message tells all
that we know about the retire
ment of Col. ]. F. DeLacy from
the race for solicitor-general. We
know nothing of the particulars
leading up to to this decision, but
we realized several days ago when
we read a statement from him,
with reference to several charges
OF Col. Graham's, that serious
climax might be expected. The
people generally hold both gentle
men in the highest esteem, and
naturally deplore the unpleas-
antness that has resulted be-
tween them, and while Col. De-
Lacy's retirement will be gener-
ally regretted, it has put an end
to what might have been a very
unpleasant contest. A large
number of we'll informed people
all over the circuit believed right
up to the moment of his retire
ment that he would have been re-
elected, but the same people
realize that we are still sure of a
most competent and worthy sue
cessor in the election of Col. E.
D. Graham.

1t is estimated that eight hum

destruction of the ship.
Among those who were drown

the commander of the Russian
naval forces in the Far East.
ONLY FOUR OFFICERS
MANAGED TO ESCAPE.
So far as known only four of

The Grand Duke Cyril was on

His brother, Grand Duke Boris,
witnessed the catastrophe
through a marine glass.
Dispatches here say that while
going out to meet the Japanese
fleet off Port Arthur, the Petro-

outer roadstead, hee1ed over,
turned turtle and sank. Prac-

were lost.

ENGLISH RAILROADS.
Two Hundred and Thirty Different
Systems for 1900 Miles of Track.

From the London outlook.
One reason for the rapid advance of
American industries and the relatively
slow progress of Britain in the same
respect is the cheapness of freight rates
ON this side of the water and their ex
pensiveness upon the other.
The English railway systems total only
70 900 miles. Yet this comparatively small
tnilage is the property of $50 companies,
more than half of which their separate
administration and executive. The others
are ''leased and worked lines" Alloting
an average of eight directors apiece to
each of the 1876 Independent companies, the
English railways support 1000 directors,
whose fees can hardly be less than $l250
year.
The railroads of India cover a milage
of about 10000. Yet Mr.. Thomas Robert
son. the expert, who has recently reported
to the British governemtn on Indian rail-
way administration, says that the task
of supervising the lines of that vast coun-
try might safely be entrusted to board
of three qualified men. assisted by a secre-
tary, a chief inspector and number of
inspectors and auditors. Three experts.
with small staff are considered by Mr..
Robertson capable of performing duties
of about the same character for which
England are employed 1000 ameteur direc-
tors, with their secretaries and assis-
tant secretaries, accountants, auditors,
clerks. messengers. etc.
If only half the sum of 81 $50. 900 a year
paid away annually in fees to railway
directors wer available for a centralized
railway board, 1t would be possible to at
tract the ablest men by offering the yarg-
est known salaries, and yet make saw

The saving by standardization is also
to be considered. The Hartman roads,

Earlier Codes.
To what extent and in what manner
Hammnrabi made use of earlier codes in
compiling his elaborate laws is still con-
jectural. There are evidences of the ex-
istence of earlier codes on a smaller
scale. Scholars of Orientalia, as for ex-
ample. Professor Haupt of Johns Hop
kins, In his work on "Sumerian Family
Laws" published In 1879 cites numerous
contrasts dating from pre-Hammurabian
times, that tend to prove the existence Of
an older body of laws. But it Is unlikely
that there was before the time of the
great monarch any single code in force
split up into small states, and these
doubtless had their own laws, resembling
or differing from each other in many
particulars Hammurabi's great political
achievement was the union of all these
petty provinces and their consolidation
into a homogeneous whole. To better ac-
compish his design he replaced the con-
fiicting laws of the individual states by
a uniform system which should be in
force throughout the land. and which

Family life and marriage were the sub
Ject of wise provisions. Women could
own property and engage in business. A
married woman had clearly defined rights
which could not be set aside. A marriage
to be valid must be based on a written
contract. Divorce was strictly regulated
with the view of safeguarding the prop
erty rights of the wife. A husband could
not abandon or divorce his sick wife; he
was compelled to support her for life. In
heritance was regulated by special enact
ments and the interests of the widow and
orphans were duly protected.
The code of Hammurabi recognizes the
lex taionis' to a certain extent. The idea
of responsibility is carried to far extent,
covering injury of persons as well as of
property. The city is responsible for the
safety of it's inhabitants and for the pres
ervation of law and order. As conse-
quence II a thief could not be apprehcnded
and the theft recovered the city was com
PEELED to make restitution; in case of loss
of life by violence or criminal neglect the
city had to give compensation to the fam
lily of the slain. The architect or builder
was criminally responsible for the safety
and strength of the house he built, and
the physician was accountable for the sue
cess of his treatment If unsuccessful in
his operation the penalty was the loss Of
his hands. The retaliatory law was so Sc
we're at times that if the owner of house
was killed by the falling in of the house
the builder suffered the penalty of death.
If the owners son was killed, then the

The Code Of Hammurabi..
The Most Ancient of All codes-About 225oBc
BY RABBI M. NEWFlELD.

Within in last eighteen months our wes-
tern civilization became enriched by one
of the most important archaeological
finds ever made and which is destined to
influence our estimate of ancient clvilza-
ton. The find was made in Babylonan
sand mound and is of unusual interest at
this time especially when the world Of
letters is directed to ancient Babylon by
the famous lectures of Professor Dolitzsch
on Babel and Bible. These two lectures
Of the distinguished Assyriologist con-
tanned hardly anything new to Oriental
scholarship, and their wide cir
eulation and criticism is due mainly to
ths fact that they were delivered in the
hearing Of the emperor. his suite and a
few invited theologans. But the late dis
covery referred to is indeed of incalcula-
bic value, although its fun bearing on the
ancient Orient has not yet been disclosed.
The find consists of a monument dscov-
cred in the year 1902 by the French ex-
ploring expedition at susa. When dis
covered it proved to be the oldest body
of laws in existence, the code of IIammur-
abb, dating from the third minimum b.
y AhteudtlhB as II does the MOSAIC eode
by about 1000 years, it must henceforth
form the starting point for the study Of
systematic jurisprudence. 1t presents a
most vivid picture of Babylonian life in
all its phases, as II existed in the 23d
century i. C., and it furnishes in this re-
speet wealth Of detail such as could be
gathered from no other single source.
What adds peculiar interest to this code
is the fact that it is distinguished by what
appears TO be more than accidental re-
semblances and analogies to many of the
laws found in the Mosaic code.
Found at Susa.
As stated. the monument was dug out of
mound at Susa the ancient capital Of
Media, and it is now treasured in the
Louvre at Paris. A French and German
translation of its text has already been
published by Professors Scheil and Winck-

that, one Sunday years before, when /
