Miscarriage Of Criminal Trials.


The difficulty of procuring sentence of CON
yctlon against the accused after he is is tried and
the frequency with which noted criminals are
known to escape the meshes of the law, especially
in jury trials, have created in the public mind
distrust of our criminal jurisprudence. and offer
an incentive and temptation to have recourse to the
wild justice of revenge.
Yet another crying evil and incentive to
lynching is the wide interval. that so often inter
poses between criminals conviction and the ex-
ecution of the sentence and the defeat of Justice
by needless procrastination. Human life Is in.

JAPANESE SEIZE SAkHALiN.
Gains Prestige In Peace Negotiations
by Occupation of Island.

Dy NSCupdItOu W .
One of the earliest rumors following
the outbreak of the Manchurien wal was
to the effect that the Japanese had made
a landing on the Island of Sakhalin.
That they could have taken the island
rhen or at any time later that suited
them is certain, for without first securing
supremacy at sea Russia was at all
times powerless to protect II. The fact
that the japanese have waited till the
present time before even making so much
as a demonstration gives a most interest
ing illustration Of the deliberateness and
strict concern for purely military require
ments with which they have prosecuted
the struaUe.
The dispatches now tell us that a land
ing has at last been made. The landing
Of japanese troops on the island startled
military circles in St. Petersburg, though
it had been realized since the defeat of
Admiral Rojestvensky that the japanese
were able to take possession of the ISL
and as soon as they thought fit. The
Japanese fleet covering the landing of
troops consisted of two battleships, seven
cruisers, three gunboats, thirty-six tor
pedO boats and ten transports loaded
with troops. The japanese landed at
the village of Meree, between Shepivan
and Korsakovsk. The commander Of the
Russian detachment of troops at KOrsa-
kovsk ordered the coast defense guns to
be blown up and all the government
buildings burned before retiring.
Until 1875 Sakhalin was japanese.
Then Russia made a claim to 1t, and
after some negotiations Japan yielded it
up, receiving as partial compensation GER

MAKES DIVORCES INVALID.
Odd Political ENHANCEMENT Existing
in Denver, Col.

oNo ~ E4ISIIuX
in Denver, Col.
More than 100 couples whose divorce
DEGREES were granted during the last IL
months by Judge Henry V. Johnson Of
Denver, Colo, acting as county Judge,
are wondering whether the laws wide
blanket of public policy" will cover their
cases, since the Colorado Supreme Court
has declared that Judge Johnson and
nearly all the other Democratic officers
had no right to their positions aud are
ousted.
BY the Rush amendment to the Denver
city charter nearly all the county officers
were elected at the same time as the
city officials, but the Supreme Court has
decided the Rush amendment invalid.
Some of the divorced persons have sincs
remarked, and in three instances at least
children nave been born since the dscses
OF divorce We're entered. The parents
are told by lawyers that the stigma OF
illegitimacy may be upon their children.
Aside from the divorce phase there are
many Other complications, end chaos has
resulted in legal affairs. The Democrat
&c officials who were elected under tAs
Rush amendment have drawn their sal
aries, and there is no money TO pay tha
salaries of the Republicans who are Civ
en- offices by the Supreme Court, yet IL
Republicans are clearly entitled to Bay.
The decision is admitted to be the most
important ever delivered in Colorado.

demand that it again become part of

acres of timber land, and c. A. Smith.

to be Kribs' backer.
