The Early Case.

Washington has reason to be proud
of the manner in which its officials have
borne themselves toward the unfortunate
man who was found here AFFLICTED with
leprosy. They went at the work of iso-
lating and caring for him calmly and hu-
namely, and while his circumstances
might perhaps be improved. he Is never
theless the object of much greater con-
sideration than has been paid to others in
his predicament elsewhere. Especially
when compared with the treatment Of the
Syrian, Rossett. by the authorities of
ding Of the Early case has been highly
to the credit of the local ofiicials
1t is to be remembered In this con-
nection that the District government had
to consider the public sensitiveness in
the premises. An instructive fear OF
leprosy prevails among the greater part
of the people. and 1t was important that
the case should be so disposed of as to
arouse the least possible degree Of alarm.
This has undoubtedly been done, and
meanwhile the unfortunate man has been
given every attention and comfort which
his condition permitted. Yet 1t is not to
be believed that he will be allowed to re-
main Indefinitely where he is The loca-
ton of his tent is not a good one. The
region Is undeniably unwholesome, and
soon the tent in which he is housed will
be an inadequate habitation. Some bet
ter provision must be made for him. II
may be that his case can be scientifically
studied for the sake of others. Per-
haps this experience may prove to have
been for the benefit of mankind.

Trial by Newspaper.

For some time a committee Of the Amer
lean Bar Association has been engaged in
preparing a draft Of canons OF ethics for
profession, to be submitted for considera-
tion at the annual meeting, now in
progress at Seattle. The proposed draft
has been circulated widely in order to
elicit discussion. The twentieth canon
deals with newspaper discussion of pend
ing litigation" and is as follows:
Newspaper publications by a lawyer as
interfere with a fair trial in the courts
and otherwise prejudice the due admin
istration OF justice. Generally they re to
be condemned. If the extreme circum-
stances of a particular case justify a
statement to the public 1t is unprofes-
sionai to make 1t anonymously An OK
parte reference to the facts should not go
papers, on file in the couxt: but even In
extreme cases it is better to avoid any
ex parte statement"
While this is plainly designed to cove,
primarily civil proceedings In courts. Il
has direct bearing upon a criminal case
now conspicuously In evidence. the forth.
coming trial of the Hams brothers fol

two sides to talk. Consequently t

two sides to talk. Consequently the
printed accounts have covered wide
ground of fact and speculation, and sug-
gestions Of a most sensational character
have been advanced, with hints of shock
ing testimony to come, with half-veiled
threats from one side or the other that
certain expedients would surely lead to
reprisals. The result has been a virtual
trial of the case by the attorneys, with
the eager assistance of the reporters, In
the public prints long in advance of the
actual summons to court.
The climax of improperly was reached
day or so ago when through the CO.
operation of the counsel for the defense
the New York papers were enabled to
publish a statement by an unnamed law
yer who had been secured as witness
for that side. This man proceeded to
give his testimony in the form of an inter-
view which tended to blacken the char
acter of Annis in shocking terms. 1t was
scandalous violation of good taste, II
not of professional ethics. The canon
proposed at Seattle would assuredly cover
it prohibitively. This reputed witness, it
Is to be remembered, may never take the
stand: he was not cross-examined while
name was not divulged by the attorneys
who made his statement public. Yet his
attack upon the slain man was given the
stamp of approval by the defense and
was Of course published along with other
matters of an interesting nature.
The newspapers are in duty bound to
publish whatever is decently printable and
pertinent to the issues involved in such
cases. They are In no wise responsible
for the improper zeal of attorneys or the
claims of defendants or partisans Of the
other side. 1t Is their business to print
the news. even though they may deplore
the extravagant and indiscreet and unfair
enterprise Of those in making it. 1t should
be the business of counsel to prevent pre-
mature discussions. to estop prospective
witnesses from talking.
A trial is for the purpose of bringing
the truth to light, not to give one side or
another the advantage. The jurors are
supposed to be unprecedented and are in
theory ignorant of any of the circum-
stances. Premature publication Of the
testimony can have only the effect Of in
fiuencing the minds of men and rendering
the task Of securing a jury more difficult.
For this reason alone the American Bar
Association should take high ground on
the subject of trial by newspaper and
adopt a canon unmistakable In its effec-
tive prohibition of such conduct as that
which has been lately in evidence.

The Atlantic City Scandal.

The grand jurors summoned specially
to consider the excise law violations in
Atlantic City have defied the governor Of
the state. at whose instance they were
assembled refusing to find indictments
even in the face Of positive evidence of
law breaking. The judge Of the court
discharged them with a severe rebuke,
and thereupon their foreman delivered
himself Of the following speech:
LAS grand jurors we feel our great re-
sponsibility. We are willing to stand be-
fore God and say that we feel that we
have performed our duty and have not
of the people of Atlantic county. We
feel that we are supreme; and without
affront we feel that no person. however
clothed with power or office. has right
to rebuke us in this manner. We, as
representatives Of Atlantic county, rep
not intend that the deliberations of this
jury shall be made political capital. We
want nothing concealed. We want
spade called a spade. We grand jurors
scented before us gambling evidence
which the prosecutor of the county
caused to be published in the newspapers,
but we did not get it. At every turn we
were throttled as grand Jurors"
It appears that the prosecuting officers
felt that they lacked sufficient evidence
to convict of gambling violations. and so
withdrew the pending cases Of that char
acter. This led to an unseemly dickering
with the grand jurors refusing to indict
for excise violations unless the gambling
evidence was adduced, and the prose-
cutors refusing to bring forth the gam
bling evidence until the excise indict-
ments were found. In short, a deadlock
occurred, with the result of the jury's
discharge.
Gov. Fort has met the emergency thus
caused by issuing a proclamation declar-
ing his determination to enforce the laws
in Atlantic City. even II he is compelled
to place that community under martial
law. AS an alternative to this drastic
expedient he may call a special session
Of the legislature to consider the situa-
ton. in which event the Atlantic City
scandal may lead to wholesale political
changes. The issue has deeply stirred
the state. Law-abiding citizens of all
counties realize that crisis has been
reached and that the states reputation
is at stake before the country.

William F. Villas.

Col. Villas. to use shopworn express
sion often misused, was a democrat of
the old school. He was likewise a gen.
tleman Of the old school. He had large
ability and high character. and served
the country well in high station. He did
not, however. possess the qualities of
popular leadership, being Of a reserved
disposition which the crowd always mis-
takes for GOODNESS and unresponsiveness.
He figures among the public men of one
speech. A eulogy of Gen. Grant which
he delivered thirty years ago was greatly
and justly admired, and promised a new
orator in our armament. But Col. Villas
never again even approached that mark.
He always spoke we'll. and in the Senate
was listened to with much respect, but
nothing resembling eloquence ever fell
from his lips any more. He was one of
his party's best products in the north

Folger and Hughes.

Thurlow Weed Barnes Of Albany is
among the opponents of Gov Hughes. and
insists that, without influence to the con-
trary from Oyster Bay. the republicans of
New York would refuse the governor a
denomination. In a letter to the New
York Sun on the situation, Mr.. Barnes
says:
But since it has resolved itself into a
problem as to whether the President OF
the United States shall dictate the choice
at Saratoga, the present status does
resemble 1882. when by command OF
Arthur Judge Charles ]. FOlger was
forced upon a sullen conclave and upon
electors SO rebellious that the way was
paved for Mr.. Cleveland
There is no likeness between the Folger
incident and the present one. Judge Fol-
ger was the Secretary of the Treasury
at the time of his candidacy for his
party's nomination for governor, and was
submitting no record for approval. He
was superior man, but not a figure in
popular political calculations at home. His
principal claim to consideration was Presi-
dent Arthur's favor. Without that he
would not have been a factor in the con-
test for that nomination. With that he
won the nomination. but lost the election.
His party slaughtered him at the polls.
Mr.. Hughes is serving in the Office of
governor. He has a record made in the
place. and is submitting it for approval.
He has not been brought into the cam
paign by Mr.. Roosevelt. He is there OF
his own power and prominence. He has
a following for which he Is indebted to
nobody but himself. If Mr.. Roosevelt
desires his denomination it is because he
has become convinced that Gov. Hughes
upon his official record Is the strongest
republican in the state, and as the candi-
date for governor will aid both the state
ticket and the national ticket Is that
forcing a candidate on the party?
The boSses in New York are opposed
to Gov. Hughes. not because he is the
friend and the favorite of Mr. Roosevelt
for the nomination. but because of their
discovery that they cannot use him for
their purposes. He Is neither the Presi-
dents man nor their man, but his own
man. yielding his only allegiance to those
from whom he holds his commission The
people elected him and he has been serv-
ing the people. If they elect him again
he will serve them again.
1t will be in the power of the bosses to
slaughter the candidate at the polls. But
will they exercise that power? The ma
neuver in 1882 cost the New York republi-
cans the governorship of the state, and
two years later the party at large the
presidency. His success over Judge Fol-
ger in the state race made Mr. Cleveland
his party's presidential candidate against
Mr.. Blaine, and the aftermath Of the
Folger episode was the failure Of Mr..
Blaine to carry New York. Are the repub-
lican bosses, with that history before
them, willing to sacrifice Gov. Hughes
this year. with the probable effect on the
national ticket to increase the enormity
Of the betrayal?
