The Oiscredited Delmas.

Here is California estimate Of At
from the Los Angeles Times: 'Swect
is his voice as the song Of the hooking
bird in nesting tine. When he speaks
they that listen. away yonder by the
sunrise ocean, shall think on sunlit
skies and poppy fields ahamr, and
they shall hear the sigh of sea winds
whispering on Acolian strings through
the Gates of Gold"
That may be the way that the
Dclmas style Of oratory affects them
out on the Pacific slope but somehow
the II New York jurymen refused to
be hypnntized by his eloduence. The
English characterization Of his closing
argument as "hapdoodle" seems to be
not an unfair one. After starting off
with the announcement that he would
not base his argument upon the "un-
written law" he proceeded for good
part of two days to base his argument
upon what he called elemental Amcri-
cana" which was. of course. only the
"unwrittrn law" under a new name.
The people everywhere. in New York
as well as in the South and in Cali
fornia. sympathiZe with the man who
kills another when the latter has
wronged his sister. daughter or wife,
but there is no unwritten law in the
civilized world that man may de-
l;berately marry notorious woman
and then go around and kill the men
with whom she kept company several
wears before he married her. Mr.
Delmas most emphatically failed ID
make good when he based his def"nst
of 'rhaw upon any such tommyrot rs
that and the members of the jury who
have talked at al agree that they
wholly disregardcd this business and
considered only tie sanity of ThaW ~
the time Of the murder. matter Z
which Delmas paid but scant attention
in his plea In many respects the
Thaw trial WAS a disgraceful hasco
Int il is always 10 be remembered &c
New York's credit that it refused &c
odopt the mining camp code of law
which The much heralded orator of the
Pacific slope brought eastward witt
him.

The Commander Of the Marietta.

The commander Of the gunbnat
waters in the neighborhood of the
quarreling Central American states.
has just issued orders that there is to
be no bOmbardment of the shore
towns. 1t was a sensible move in
which he will doubtless be upheld by
this government and for which foreign
powers will thank him. Things have
not yet gone so far in this so-called
war in Central America as to demand
any real interference by this govern
mcnt. but since we forbid the interfer-
ence of foreign nations it is plainly
apparent that no American war yes
sci sent to protect American interests
can remain quiet when the interests of
other foreigners are jeopardiZed. a
large majority Of business establish
ments in these coast cities Of Central
America are owned by Europeans and
bcmbardment would work far great
or injury upon them than upon the
people against whom the fire was di-
rect"d. Those Central American
fleets are not very Formidable. to he
sur. Eul they would at least be able
10 set fire to wooden cities and destroy
much property. The commander Of
the Marietta may have acted without
orders. as is stated. but he has taken a
forward step and should be supported
by the government at Washington. If
il is generally understood that the
property and lives of foreigners in
those coast towns are reasonably safe.
however frequent the wars down that
way. those towns will become much
more important in a business way and
American interests will be- especially
promoted.

The Thaw murder case has been held
up as terrible example" Of the con-
sequences Of fast life along the Great
White Way. The Thaw trial, ter
min&ting, as it does, in the fiasco of
disagreement. is a terrible example of
the scandal and faulty of our system
OF criminal jurisprudence. BY the
Jury'a failure to reach a verdict there
is added the last touch of disgust and
farce to condition that has merited
the contempt Of England and of every
country and community where the
orderly and expeditions process of
justice is a fact.
England has had such a celebrated
case, with similar salacious back
ground, in the murder of the merchant
Whitley by Rayner. The murderer
was brought to trial within two months
and convicted within five hours. The
murderer Of Stanford White was not
brought to trial until seven months
after his crime, and his trial has
dragged along for eleven weeks more
