that the prisoner must be set free. but
that new trial might be permitted.
This whole matter should be allowed
TO rest with the courts, where it be-
longs. BY them originally the guilt or
innocence of persons accused of crime
is established. II circumstances so al
ter that this conclusion appears to be
harsh or unjust, the utmost we should
do would be to authorize by law a ju-
dicial review. The creation Of a wide
spread and healthy public sentiment on
this subject would be of inestimable
value to the state, and would, We firmly
believe. act as wonderful preventive
of crime. Without forgetting that JUS

we ought TO remember that mercy itself

But that Mr. Kenna serves a purpose

pnstrated every time the Republicans

There is not much of Democracy or

A WoMAN,s TONGUE

Washington Irving, contemplating
the shortcomings of Rip Van Wrinkles
wife, had occasion to write that sharp
tongue is the only edged tool that
grows keener with constant use. Ac-
cording to his definition a shrewish
tongue is a useful instrument per-
verted- The New Jersey justice who
fined two women who abused each
other in the courtroom SO apiece for
carrying concealed weapons altered
without improving Mr.. Irving's defini-
ton. and the judge who set the convic-
ton aside and ordered the return Of
the fines sustained, by doing so, the
dignity of the court
Yet the justice will not be without
his sympathizers. Were there, on the
New Jersey statutes. a law which pro-
vides a penalty for the crime known,
in vulgar parlance, as tongue lashing,
the justice would not have been forced
to strain a point in order to make the
III the ne hIlcN
that the penalty for carrying concealed
weapons was, comparatively speaking.
a severe one, and, acting on impulse.
doubtless, he declared that an unruly
tongue and a concealed weapon were
one and the same thing. 1t was either
that or let the termagants go scot free,
and having been an unwilling listener
to their interchange of sentiments, this
he could not find it in his soul to do.
The revival of the whipping post as
a punishment for wife beaters has been
followed by the suggestion that some
suitable form of punishment should
also be devised for the woman who
nags and scolds. But that this special
prerogative of women has been usurped
to some extent by men was demon
strated the other day in Chicago, where
a judge fined a man for calling an in
offensive lady 'mud-faced" and other
equally unfiattering and opprobrious
terms. He was not forced to stretch
a point to cover the case, as was the
New Jersey justice, so the fine stood.
Perhaps a general law adopted by
all the states which would define the
limits of persifiage or badinage and
which would fix a suitable punishment
for overstepping them, If one may be
permitted the figure, would serve as
a correction for the shrews of both
sexes. though, unfortunately, the word
is feminine. We use the terms persi-
fage and badinage advisedly, because
the Chicago offender claimed that when
he called his victim mud faced" he
was merely indulging in this form of
verbal levity. At any rate. no justice
should be forced to twist the law in a
good cause as was the New Jersey
justice.

THE GOLD STANDARD UNIVERSAL

1t is but a few years since the an
nouncement that Mexico had changed
her financial system to a gold basis
would have created an international
sensation. Mexico was one of the IL
Illustrations chiefly relied upon by the
advocates of free silver. The country
had developed literally and rapidly
under the wise administration of Diaz
The changes attributable to stable and
orderly government, to the great influx
of outside capital and energy and the
development of native resources, were
assigned to the fact that her coinage
was on a silver basis. Experience
without agitation. has shown differ
emily.
Mexicos internal development has
reached a point where her commercial
relations with other countries are very
large and important. 1t has been found
impossible to safeguard these without
suitable rate of exchange. When the
purchasing power of the dollar varied
daily in foreign markets, business was
crippled and curtailed. For her own
sake Mexico has been obliged to adopt
fixed standard-that is, to go to the
gold basis.
This change, like that of other coun-
tries, is not a consequence of any agi-
tation, of any fixed financial scheme, of
any conspiracy on the part of any
body, but is exactly such a trade
movement as throws aside any impIe-
ment after a better has been found.
Mexico really had no option in the
matter. The change from silver as
standard began away back in the last
century. 1t was not engineered to
benefit or to oppress anybody, but was
exactly the same sort Of movement
that substituted the moving machine
for the scythe. One country after an
other fell in with 1t because they were
all obliged to. To stay out meant COM
mercial loss as well as financial confu-
sion, without any benefit in the end.
The gold standard has now become
substantially universal.
