The criminal laws of the United
States are statutes passed by congress.
There is no common law relating to
crimes so far as the nation is concern
ed. Issues of law in the trial OF per
sons charged with violation of the
criminal statutes of the United States
have always been taken advantage OF
by defendants, but no provision exist
ed for the government taking such is
sues of law to the higher courts where
the decisions of the judges of the low
er courts were favorable to the defend
ants.
The law is changed by the action OF
the congress at it's present session.
The government will now have the
right to prosecute appeals or writs OF
error on questions of law decided by
the inferior courts to the highest tri-
bunal in the land. The defendant in a
criminal court has always the protec-
ton of his constitutional rights, which
NAV be urged in his favor to the high
est court.
It has been found upon many occa-
sions that decisions of the lower fed
eral courts, touching questions of law,
when in favor of the defendant on trial
for infraction of a criminal law of the
United States, even before the defend
ant has lost the protection OF the JeOp-
ardy right in the constitution OF the
country, has appeared to be so erro-
no would
whipped Of justice. 1t is now prOv1d-
ed that such issues of law so raised
may be prosecuted by writ of error
sued out by the government to test IN
the higher courts the sOundness of the
legal opinion rendered by the judge in
the lower court.
So many new and complicated stat
utes of criminal nature have been
enacted by congress during the past
few years in the effort of the people to
secure redress of grievances by the
abolition of railway rebating and kin
dred wrongdoing by great corporations
that it has come to be recognized that
the government must, in the interests
of Justice be clothed with the power to
test legal questions in criminal cases
by some authority other than the
Judges in courts of first instance. This
legislation is supplemental to the acts
of this and previous congresses intend
ed to restrain the powers of those
whose evildoing is, in the main, an
abuse of the use of wealth.
Among the other measures passed By
congress at this session is the curren-
cy bill, making important changes IN
the laws relating to banking and the
currency of the country. The CHIEF
provision of this law is that the secre-
tary of the treasury may now deposit
customs receipts, as we'll as internal
revenues, in the national bank deposit
taries. The object Of this change is to
give wider latitude to the head of the
treasury in relieving against conges-
ton of the public money in the govern
ment strong box.

DR.. CROWTHER
GOLDSMITH'S
CHARACTER.
Hudson County A~ssembIyman
Quotes The Poet to Find De-
sCriptiOn of Local Legislator.

TRENTON, Mar. 9:-Plenty of
amusing features turn up during the
course of a legislative session to help
relieve the monotony of the dry rou-
tine. One of these instances occurred
this week when Assemblyman Baker,
of Hudson county, addressed the
house on the bill appropriating $2,-
500 for the purchase of portraits of
former governors. Mr.. Baker want
ed the bill passed.
Assemblyman Barber, the repub-
lican leader, tackled Baker and OPP
posed the bill. Baker then replied to
Barber in a humorous strain where
upon Assemblyman Crowther, of Mid
dlesex, went after Baker firing hot
shot and humor at him. Here is
what Baker did to Crowther, while
the crowd roared:
II have been very much Impress
ed with the luminous contribution of
my distinguished colleague from Mid
dlesex and | feel bound to give an
expression of my profound apprecia-
ton of his rar versatility of grave
and vital import to the people of this
state. While the gentleman from
Middlesex was impressing the house
with his views on this subject,
cursorily glanced back in the pages
of the worlds history to find some
great figure whose career furnished
a striking similitude to the public
conduct of my friend from Middlesex.
But | have searched in vain. In fact
l have entered the realms of romance
with failure accomplishing me for my
labor. But, sir, l have paid tribute
to the muse and have found one
great character in poetry whose many
accomplishments are highly suggest
i've of the brilliant endeavors of the
gentleman from MiddleseX. The
character I call up is the parsonage
who has been rendered immortal by
the inimitable pen of the poet Gold
smith.
Gentlemen, as l quote the lines
you will notice the likeness of the
poets portrait to the gentleman from
Middlesex:
The village all declared how much
he knew:
Twas certain he could write, and
cipher, too;
Lands he could measure, terms and
tides presage-
And even the story ran that he could
gauge.
In arguing, too, the parson owned his
skill,
For even though vanquished, he could
argue still, .
While words of le%arning's length and
laundering sound
Amazed the gazing rustics ranged
around.
And still they gazed, and still the
wonder grew,
That one small head could contain
all he knew"
The bill was passed.

ELEPHANTS CAN CARRY GRUDGE

a Hindu mahout was employed
with a working elephant in Bangkok,
Siam, and frequently used a steel
goad In defiance of all warnings, says
William G. Fitz-Gerald, in the Cir
Gle. The result was that this ele-
plant made frequent attempts to kill
him, and finally the man was dis
charged. Nearly four years after
ward, by a most remarkable coinci-
dence, both elephant and mahout met
again IN Maulmain, Burma; and no
sooner was the big tusker out of
sight of the saw mill and well into
the forest than he curled his trunk
up backward, sei2 ed his old persecu-
tor by the neck, hurled him to the
ground, and in an instant a mighty
forefoot had crushed out his life.
