WHERE CONVICTIONS ARE EASY.

The granting of a pardon by Gov
eTnor Glenn to Ernest Porter. Of this
county, and the reasons therefor show
how easy it is to convict a man OF the
crime for which this defendant was
sentenced to two years in the peniten-
tiary. A prominent judge of this state
once said that charges of crime OF this
nature were the easiest to make and
the hardest to refute. When a woman
goes into court as p~rOsecutrix or a man
charged with such an ofense, she has
greatly the advantage of the man be.
cause of her sex. The law presumes a
person charged with crime to be inno-
cent until he has been proven guilty
But in cases of this kind most men
presume his guilt upon the presenta-
ton of the charge aud he is put to the
necessity to establish his innocence,
and generally it takes a great deal
more evidence TO DO so than it does to
convict him. Jurors should always he

all things that pertain to leading a life

witness stand and denies the charge is
adding perjury to his other crime
for the purpose Of securing his
acquittal. The man who will take
advantage of a woman to heT

FRANCES ALLEGED NEUTRALITY

France seems 20 be putting very lib
eraI construction en- the rules OF The
laws of neutrality applicable to har-
boring the warships of one of two bel
ligerent parties, according TO the gen
eral idea. She mas almost made her
self a raTty to the Russian side In ne
| present contest. There has been no
assistance that the fist of RojestVe1-
sky has needed since it passed through
the Suez canal which she has not stood
| ready to furnish. In allowing these
war vessels to take refuge in her ports
in MADAGASCAR aad Indo-China and ie-
main IS long as il suited their conve-
| nience she commits a violation of the
laws of neutrality as declared by every
| other civilized nation except Russia,
| and this extension of b rule has
| been made by France only in favor of
the former. l. would be interesting TO
! know what would be Frances action
| should some Of the japanese warships
| take refuge in one of her Pacific coast
ports and remain there over the TWEEN
ty-four hours limit and undertake TO
coal and take ON provisions and war
supplies. She would no doubt pretty
quickly find out that she was a sub
scriber to the system Of neutrality as
promulgated by the European powers
and the United States.
France finds it hard to go back on
her old friend. Her people have TOO
much money invested in Russian gov
eminent bonds for her to do any thing
to the disadvantage of the latter, even
to the observance of the strict rules
of neutrality. France evidently has
faith in Russia's ability to succeed Ill
the end in conqce-ing the Japanese
and she feels that in the near future
she may need friendship of another
power in her contest with Germany for
supremacy in northern Africa. Empe-
ror Williams recent visit to Morocco
and his remarks about the open door in
that country has caused her unca5i-
ness. Her recent alliance with Great
Britain would not stand in the way il
there should come a break between the
latter and Russia over the eastern
question. England's greater interests
in India and China would cause her to
break quickly with France if the pres
~ervation of her eastern possessions
were threatened by Russia. Englands
alliance with France will amount to
nothing when it comes to a conflict be-
tween the former and Russia. Then
it will be for France to say with which
power she will align herself. In this,
of course, she will be governed, not
by sentiment, blu by her idea of what
will best conserve her own interests.
The result of the present war may
have much to do with the future rela-
| lions toward each other of the powers
of Europe.
