to protect himself and family, even to the extent of taking the life of an as- sailant? That is admitted. and then may not a man protect himself and family from starvation, though he/may have to take that which does not be- long to him?
 In one respect this juryman's posi- ton is faulty, because he was not called to serve on a trial jury. As a grand juryman he was not required to really pass on the guilt or innocence of a prisoner, or to investigate the reasons which might have impelied him to steal. As a member of the grand jury he was only required to ascertain if there was cause to put the accused on trial. and leave all other questions for the petit jury and the court to in- quire into and decide.
 Thus far, and from this view point, Mir. Neumeister's position is not ten- able, but when it comes to the trial jury itself the case is different. That evidence and recommend him to the mercy of the court. But suppose the case was plain that the prisoner did steal, and that 1t was the only means he had to save himself and family from the horrors of starvation: if jurors in such case should refuse to convict. what would we say? According to the strict letter of the law. the man is guilty, and according to the strict terms of their oath the jurors would be obliged to bring in a verdict of guilty. but would humanity demand conviction in such case!
 That is the nice question that will come up and we repeat that in our judgment there will be two sides taken by those who study it. Some will in- sist that a man who violates the law should be convicted. but others will say that a man who plainly violates any law strictly in self-defense or in defense of his family should be allowed to- go free. It would be a nice ques- ton for debating society.

Bad Manners In New York.

 walks of life. do not appear to have treated Admiral Prince Louis very well. He was so bombarded with let thought necessary to double the de- tective force to guard him. A body of half-baked students marched the the spirit of 176, while the Iongshore- men tried hard. and were only beaten off by the police after a severe fight to tear down the British flag as 1t hung at the dock where his ship lay. and now a dentist has charged the prince $1.oO0 for filling four teeth And yet of all people we are the most sensitive and bumptious and resent with most hysterical insistence what we consider slights to ourselves.
