now TO PREVENT BANK FAILURES,

1t is currently reported that there
has not been bank failure In China
in thousand years, and the reason
usually assigned is that under the
Chinese law bank failure is capital
offense.
This might be employed as an argu-
ment in favor of capital punishment,
but, in our opinion, not fairly so. The
law is an expression of public senti-
ment in China, and public sentiment
regulates, in great part human con-
duct. The integrity of the Chinese
merchant is proverbial. He Will drive
a bargain with YOU II he can. but he
will not nisrepresent the quality of
his goods, and in all transactions of
pecuniary nature. his word is his bond.
In fine, It is fashionable in Chinese
business circles TO be honest. To that
sentiment. rather than to the law. is
due the integrity of the banks of China,
and it is probable that bank failures
would be no greater in number even
if the penalty Of the law should be
modified. And American bank fail
ures would be rarer by far If Chinese
sentiment on that subject prevailed
here. China makes defalcation capt.
tai offense because the Chinese re-
gard ii as a terrible crime. But do VIC
so regard 1t In America? Time ane
again defaulters and embezzlers have
been caught in this country and neye
punished at ALL The shortage wa
made up by friends, and the who'll
matter kept out of court. a Richmon'
newspaper was once roundly con
demned by large number of respect
able citizens because it published thu
fact that It's collector had ''embez
zled" several hundred dollars of it,
money and run away. A bank cashier
in Portsmouth stole from the institu
ton for ten years. and in the aggre'
gate appropriated TO his own use more
than half of the banks assets. whet
apprehended he was released on bail
and when arraigned in court he mad,
confession and was sentenced to {
short term in the penitentiary which
may be materially reduced by "gooC
behavior"
These are not exceptional cases
It is our custom 10 deal leniently witt
defaulters. OH mosal standard in
this respect is iow-almost criminall
low. 1t appears that the people a
large do not think it very gray
crime after all TO rob an employer o
loot a bank, and so long as that sentl
ment prevails betrayals of trust Wi
be numerous Nor would the Chimes
law be complete remedy. What w
need most is the Chinese sentiment.

FOREST IN NORTHEASTERN
CALIFORNIA.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The
president has just signed a procla-

says that this plank is loosely drawn

my friends, he is mistaken. He has
had great experience in constituting
laws and 1 have challenged him
time and again to find if ne can find
two opposite constructions lin that
language. I think the language is
perfectly clear and the only reason
why the republicans try to avoid it
is because they cannot meet the ar
gument that is presented in support
of that proposition.
The fourth question upon which
we differ is as to trial by jury in
cases of indirect contempt. We say
that there ought to be a jury trial
and the republicans say that there
ought not to be. This is a clear is

stronger than a good many people

have a trial by jury in such case,
because it is in the nature of GRIM

sue beween us, and, my friends, 1
want to give you briefly our reason,
so as that if you are called upon to
defend your position on this subject,
if your position on this subjest is our
position and our position is your posi-
tion-I want to give you a few argu-
ments, so that you will be prepared
to defend them. Now, there is this
difference between direct contempt
and indirect contempt. In the case
of direct contempt, the contempt COM
plainel of or alleged, is committed
in the presence of the court. He does
not have to examine witnesses; he
is; an eyewitness; he decides the
question pending on his own knowl-
edge. But in the case of indirect
contempt, that is where the act COM
planned of was committed outside of
the presence of the court, and where
it must be established by evidence.
Now, we are not complaining of the
case of direct contempt, but we in
sist that as this indirect contempt in
wolves a prosecution which is in it's
nature a criminal prosecution, with
