CONSUL mewAoE's DEFENSE.


Washington.-The House committee
of foreign affairs Thursday listened to
a statement by the former consul gen
eral at Canton, China, McWade, in re-
ply to the charges made against him
by Third Assistant Secretary of State
PIERCE.
The only statement of record made
by McWade is a letter addressed TO
the committee. This letter was dated
April &c, 1906, signed by McWade, and
is in part as follows:
"A little over six months ago II. IL.
d. PIERCE assured me that l was re-
moved because the President wanted
my place, and for no other reason.
now learn through the persistent in
dustry of some anonymous person the
nature of the charges preferred against
me by H. II. ID. PIERCE, and l solemnly
declare them to be false in every essen
tial particular. i also solemnly declare
that they are made by men who had
been charged before me for various
offenseS from murder down, and that
these men formed criminal con
spiracy against me to have me re-
moved because my continuance in Of
fee meant their absolute compulsory
abandonment OF their criminal prac-
tees within my jurisdiction
Il SOlGmlly declare tEdl Iob - i.f
utable man or firm, American or for
eign, resident and doing business
within my Jurisdiction ever uttered
single word of complaint against me
or my administration, fact which ii.
H. d. PIERCE could have easily ascer-
tanned, although he was only forty
eight hours in Canton and he did moi
devote two hours of that entire time
to any investigation whatever. he
quotes n certain firm of which ne was
a guest as complaining against me and
gives that firm bill of health for high
business character, etc.
"A little investigation would nave
shown that that firm desired my re-
moval because / was largely instru-
mental in showing up how it had
robbed the American railways, and
had stopped its doing so most effect

or indirectly question the high right
and privilege of the President to re-

Just why. in country in which the
vast majority of judges are elected by
popular vote. there should be ex-
pressed In law such a superstitious ter
ror lest a judge should give any ex-
preston of his own personality is puz-
cling in the extreme. In many states,
writes George w. Alger. in Atlantic,
and particularly in those in which a
firm and vigorous administration OF
Justice is of urgent Importance. the
judge who presides at n criminal trial
is not permitted by law to be judge
IN any real or vital sense. He must
not comment on the evidence. he must
not review the facts and set them in
coherent order before the jury. he
must not sift the testimony and sepa-
rate the material from the immaterial,
he must. above all things. refrain from
expressing in any wise a personal
opinion on anything from the start
of the trial to its close. He must deal
out abstract rules of law. and leave the
jury to their own devices with such
blind guidance in endeavoring to apply
that law to the facts. II he sees them
swayed by misleading eloquence. he
must not set them in the path of rea-
son for Justices sake. He Is a pilot
who must not touch the wheel. The
vigorous. commanding hgure OF the
English judge is by law excluded from
the great majority OF our criminal
courts. The summary of facts in the
charge which, for example, Justice
Bingham gave a few years ago to an
English jury In the sensational case of
Whitaker Wright. the great swind-
ling promoter, would have meant an
inevitable reversal and new trial for
error" in any lynch law state in this
