Whittier Are We Drifting?

In all this business Of "prain
Storm" "unwritten law" Gust
ifiable homicide" and what not
to thwart the exaction of the
penalty of crime, isn't it we'll
to pause a moment for reflec-
ton before giving it as our un-
biased opinion that man is
justified in snufing out tie
life of a brother? A dispatch
from London a few days since,
Ire ad:: George Rayner, who
Jan. "a, shot and killed VIM.
Whitley, the general proyider'
lof Westbourner, was tried to-
day, convicted and sentenced to
death. . The English may be
slow in catching on to a joke
perhaps, but they are "blasted
fast i'm dealing out justice and
it would foster a wholesome re-
gard for the law in this coun-
try if we would cultivate a little
of it and not hold a human life
SO lightly. The Whitley muir
der was q celebrated one and
the prisoner made a plea that
would have made the case drag
along for weeks and have cost
the commonwealth many thous-
ands of dollars. Cunning law
! yers would have wasted weeks
in getting together a Jury,
emotional or some other kind
of insanity would have been
set up as plea, or possibly
self defence, when it was we'll
known and proven beyond the
peradventure of a doubt that
the murdered man carried no
gun. The yellow newspapers
would show to other criminals
how easy it is to circumvent
the law, if only they can "show
up" enough "long green" to
get q smooth lawyer. Not SO
in England; there the guilty
are punished without reference
to their bank account or prom
inence in the community. One
reason for the existence of the
vast difference between the
manner in which justice is
meted out in England and in
America is on account of the
egotistically expanded idea of
the individuals constitutional
rights. The trouble is that the
criminal first commits the crime
and then pulls and hauls and
stretches the constitution until
lit looks to one reading a law
yer's argument as if the courts
would give the prisoner the
right to kill. 1t would seem as
though this "unwritten law
and "justiflable homicide" had
been worked to a fragile of late
and it is really a stand taken
4 by a man who breaks the law
and becomes a murderer t(
accuse, try, condemn and eX.
ecute." In England, where
speedy convictions are frequent
murders are few and far be-
tween. ' !.

DEPORTATION OF GOLD

New York, November 22.-The ex-
tent to which the New York banks will
subscribe to the new issue of treasury
certificates is not yet definitely fixed.
but it is expected that there will be lib
eral participation when a full under
standing is secured as to the uses to
which the certificates may be applied.
Now, however, it is the accepted view
in banking circles that the certificates
can be utilized as a basis for circula-
ton not for bank reserves. The advan-
tage of this use Of the issue for circula-
tion purposes Is very great, not only
as a banking transaction but as
means OF relieving the stringency as
felt by the public since the bank note
circulation will speedily get into pubic
use and thus put an end to the present
premium on money.
The flow Of gold into the country
| continues to be heavy, largely because
the recent premium on currency III
duced money spectators to import
foreign gold for the profit of the
transaction.
Today's engagements totalled ST.
100000, which with previous engage
ments carries the total for the last
few weeks to an aggregate far in eX-
cess of any gold Importation IN the
history of American finance. Wall
street fnanciers are predicting that the
present influx of gold from Europe viii
amount to more than 100000 be-
fore it is concluded. The figures are

CONDITION OF TRADE
Increased Degree of Quiet Prevails tn
Most Industries.

New York, Nov 22.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
While a number of cities report that
the tone of affairs has taken turn
for the better, actual business taking
the country as a whole, shows an
increased degree Of quiet, both at
wholesale and retail, working out Of
the continued scarcity of currency at
some points, at lessening activity in
industry and continuance of un-
reasonably mild weather, with its nat
ural effect upon distribution of win
ter goods. There is evident in whole
sale trade circles an indispOsition to
do business for future periods and the
large numbers of cancellations result
ing from the past unsettlement are a
subject Of widespread discussion. In
some lines, notably steel and iron
and cotton goods, traders generally
have set their faces against encourag-
ing this movement and hopeful sign
is that some buyers who stampeded
early have since reconsidered their
action and asked that goods be ship
ped Still, buying at wholesale is in
a high degree conservative and the
disposition Is to confine purchasing to
sent values emDer I'd l.-viid cmfW
present wants. AS to this latter feat
ure, however, it might be we'll to
remember that the day-to-day buying
Of $4,000 600 people makes up a con-
siderable volume in the aggregate. Col
lections are rather slower and Some
attention has been excited by the re-
quests made from some states that ail
creditors be lenient in order that the
interests of all be protected.
