The Chattanooga Times calls atten- tion to the action of Judge Kersten of Chicago who released woman from a charge of murder. The Times says: ''The woman in the case in point came before Judge Kersten charged with the murder of her husband. The proof showed that he was an overbearing brute. who maltreated and abused her. beating her frequently and often threatening to kill her. Goaded beyond endurance by his treatment. she finally shot and killed him. The judge said she had a right to do 1t, and the woman was discharged"

Two glasses, one filled with the wine to be tested and the other with like quan- tity of wine known to be pure are placed upon an apparatus resembling both liquids. If both wines are pure no sound Is heard in the receiver, but if one contains water a noise is pro duced until a pointer Is moved to a given place on the dial plate, whose movement renders the conductivity of the liquids uniform. The gradation on the dial where the pointer stops shows the quantity of extraneous mat ter in the wine

Diamond Field. in Canada.

bUIdTU ENpTtSS.
 Most of the diamond fields of the world lie in British territory. People generally will be surprised. however, by the declaration of a Canadian geo IOgist that a new and undiscovered diamond field lies in Canada. some where between the great lakes and Hudson Bay. Men of science will not be so much surprised. Diamonds have been found in Michigan and elsewhere, In the terminal moraines of vanished glaciers. Evidently the diamonds were carried to the spot by the glaciers and their origin evidently was in dia- mond field somewhere in the north, whence they were torn by the foe sheets. The theory is perfect; all that remains to be found is the birth place of the diamondA.

Of course 1t is to the credit of the little State of Delaware that 1t failed to send Addicks to the Senate, but 1t is humiliating that State which has given a number of really great men to the public service should be literally held up and robbed by such a man as he, for that is what it amounted to. He held the State up when he told the Legislature that they must elect him or nobody, and defiantly shook his money in their faces. He robbed the State of Senator by refusing to per init the election of decent man. The entire business is a disgraceful one.

Difference Between Duck and Goose

Difference Between Duck and Goose.
 Everybody who has had experience in carving knows that not only are sharper knives required but also proba- bly, more skill and practice to carve a duck than any other fowl. Admiral Dewey was a guest at a dinner table where his host had that serious task to perform. As the admiral watched the almost desperate endeavors of the carver to disintegrate the bird he smiled mildly. His host happened to notice it and felt a bit piqued, as he was not In the best of temper, any way. You appear to be amused at my awkwardness. admiral said he. Not at all, sir; not at all." was the reply. T was only thinking why the term duo kwas used as a word of endear- ment and goose one of reproach."

Worst of All AdulteratiOns

Perhaps no species of villainy Is more cruel and reprehensible than the adulteration of drugs used in disease and which may murder the invalid they were supposed to benefit. It is fortu- nate that the Washington authorities have taken the work in hand and have succeeded in unearthing a gang of these scoundrels in Chicago by making raids on the places where bogus drugs were made, confscating four patrol wagon loads of medicine" and arrest ing i've persons for misusing the mails.

A FAIR NORTHERN WRITER

MT. James P. Davidson. a Northern man as he says, writes to The Phila- delphia Public Ledger about the much discussed Davis Miles controversy. and advances some ideas which are alto- gether appropriate to the subject. He calls attention to the customs of an- cient Romans and others of those days, where captured generals were led in chains through the streets to grace the triumphal processions of the con- auerors. Then he writes:
 It remained for the United States of America. through their duly consti- tuted authorities. to do a thing unpre- cedented In modern times, the chain ing, like convict. of the leader of a brave cause. whose rights or wrongs are rot now in question. The brutal treatment of the aged and infirm statesman and soldier by a hired black smith Cor hired sergeant, or general meno, was deed which should have brought then, and should bring now, the blush of shame to every man north of Mason and Dixon's line. who coun- outrage against the amenities of hon orable warfare. and against the cour- tesy due to soldier. statesman and gentleman, and through him to a brave.
 
 Mir. Davidson we'll says that such brutal acts are unknown in modern times. During the war of the Revolu- tion high officers were captured by both sides. and were sometimes i'm prisoned but never chained. When the English captured Napoleon, much as they hated and feared him. no shackles were placed on his hands or feet. They banished Rim. first to Elba and afterwards to St. Helena, but at least he was spared the brutal indig- nity of being treated like a felon. Mir. Davidson is right in his opinion that every man in the North who counte- nances the act of Miles ought to be ashamed of it. as the writer of the let ter Is evidently ashamed for them.

 French papers are calling upon the Japanese to be generous in their vic- tory. It is to be hoped the Japanese will be magnanimous. but Russia, Ger many and France, who stepped in and deprived Japan of the legitimate fruits of its victory over China, are hardly in a position to urge a claim for generous treatment. The shoe Is on the other foot now and it seems to make a great difference.

The Committee of Sixteen.

The report of the committee of six teen appointed by the council of the Water Users association printed by The Republican this morning is another important incident in the prosperity of the valley It will go a long way to superseding all the water litigation of years which has been a greater curse to the valley than drouth. The re- port has been signed by all the mem- bers of the committee except two, both of whom were absent from the city yesterday but had signified their con- currence in the findings of the commit tee. These committeeman represent ed every irrigation interest in the val ley so that it may be presumed that there will be no dissent in any quar- ter.
 The long, laborious and successful eff forts of the committee have removed the bug-a-goo feature Of the Hurley Abbott suit which though friendly in character had been invested with some alarm. It is, too, barely possible that but for the work of the committee of sixteen, the designing would have made of that suit something less than friendly and litigation would have en- sued which might have invited unfav- orable action by the government.
 It had been stated, though, some users had been persuaded not to believe it, that the suit had been instituted on the advice of reclamation officers to clear the ground of the priorities question. The report of the commit tee not only discloses this fact but contains an intimation that the suit or something else which would have the same result was a condition pre- cedent to further reclamation opera tons.
 At the best, the suit, without the work done by the committee of six teen would have been more or less ex- pensive and dilatory. The suit now be- comes a simple affair if the stipula- tions agreed upon are finally intro duced
 The members of the committee of sixteen are deserving of much credit. They took with them into the con- ference all the differences by which the valley had been rent for years But they took also with them a dispo sition toward fairness and compromise As this disposition increased, the diff ferences decreased until at last they vanished altogether and the happy re- suit announced by The Republican this morning was achieved.

Frances Dock Yards Strike.

Theorists who think that government ownership of railways would put an end to interruptions of the railway ser vice by strikes of railway employees are invited to consider the fact that the employees of the French government in the dOclIyards and arsenals at Brest, Toulon and all other French naval de- pots have gone on strike. The strike is due to the fact that several mem bers of the union have recently been discharged for criticising the naval ad- ministration. The Federation of Gov . ernment Employees has issued an ap- peal to all government employees to give their moral support" to the naval strikers. It is not impossible that with :. in few days all the activities of the French government will be tied up by a sympathetic strike. From which it appears that, in France, at any rate, there is nothing to hinder public em- ployes from organizing and striking, if they choose, like private employees. What is there in the United States?
