The Old Orchard Mirror gives a YER
sion of the fatal explosion at that place
during the great fire, which we do not
remember to have seen elsewhere in
print. 1t has been generally under
stood that it was a soda water tank in
a drug store that burst from the heat,
causing the death of three persons and
the injury Of others, but it appeal $
that this was not 50. At the time. of
the fire the druggist had two tubes
charged with gas in the basement. On
examination of these tubes after the
fire they were found to be intact. Thet"
was an empty tube weighing about ten
pounds, which had been left leaning
against a ten-gallon container of de-
natured alcohol in the store, and it was
this container that burst. hurting the
empty tube with great force. OF
course any liquid thus confined and
subjected to great heat would evapor-
ize and explode.

This country is definitely committed

phenomenal growth as ours it is prob
ably well that every dozen years or SO
the tariff laws should be carefully scru5
tinized, SO as to see that no excessive
or improper benefits are conferred
thereby, that proper: revenue is pro-
:vided and that our foreign trade Is en-
;couraged. There must always be as
a minimum q tariff which will not only
allow for, the collection of ain ample

III the department OF ] slice during Tho
past few years has been such as to
make it evident that no man stands
above the law; that 10 corporation Is
so wealthy that it cannot be held to
account. The department of Justice
has been as prompt to proceed against
the wealthiest malefactor whose crime
was one of greed and cunning as to
proceed against the agitator who in
cites to brutal violence. Everything
that can be done under the existing
law and with the existing state of pub
lie opinion, which so profoundly influ-
ences both the courts and juries. has

need Strengthening In more than one
important point They should be made
more definite. SO that no honest man
can be led unwittingly to break them
and SO that the real wrongdoer can be
readily punished.
Moreover, there must be the public
opinion back Of the laws or the laws
themselves will be of no avail. At
present. while the average juryman I'M

The two great evils in the execution

latter the remedy must come from the
hands of the legislatures. the courts
and the lawyers. The other must de-
pend for its cure upon the gradual
growth Of sound public opinion

law and the demands of reason shall
control all other influences and emo
tons in the jury box. Both of these
evils must be removed or public dis
