The Conviction Of CAPTAIN HaineS.

Under the above caption the
Picayune of New Orleans prints
the appended editorials:
1.-THE conviction by a New York
court of Captain Peter C. Hams, OF
the United States Army, for Staying
one William E. Annis for seducing
the Captains wife and destroying his
home, is the second recent case which
goes to show how indifferent the
American people are becoming to the
sanctity of the family home and how
they resent the killing of the seducer.
Nevertheless these and other SINH,
lar convictions will not prevent the
indignant and outraged male relatives
from seeking with bloody violence the
only redress that is in their reach, for
the written law offers none.
'When gallant soldier of the Re-
public returns from tour of service,
lasting year or two in the far-distant
Philippines, and as quickly as the
stern requirements of military duty
permit, he haStens to his wife and
children, he is Mortified and astound-
ed to find his home in possession of a
stranger, who has alienated the SOL
dier's wife to such degree that she
regardsaher husband as an intruder.
HWhat is brave and honorable
husband to do in such a case? SO
far the law is silent. 1t affords no
relief or redress. and here the law
ends. But manhood and honor have
something to say. Wherefore should
they not, when womanhood has been
degraded and honor outraged.
There was time when it was held
to be right for a man to protect his
good name and the honor of his
family to the last extremity. Society
seems to be reaching point when this
is SO no longer. The man who stands
for the sanctity Of his home and for
the protection of the women of his
family from the lawless hands of the
spoiler is no longer excused, but is
hunted down as the worst of criminals,
and is lucky if he saves his neck from
the gallows, only to suffer the lot of
the most degraded malefactor in a
felon's cell.
"There Seems to be growing up in
this country notion that men and
women should no longer be bound by
those social cOmpacts and conventions
upon which the whole of public moral
ity is founded. This is seen in the ex-
IRENE latitude. not to say license, with
which the dissolution of the marriage
tie is regarded. not only by what is
considered by some the most promi-
nent social circles in this country,
but even by the courts. If a general
laxity in social morals is to be the
rule, then the man who resents attacks
upon his own family is to be regard
ed as an obstruction and foe to the
new notion of social Liberty and
and the place for him
is confinement in the penitentiary or
prison or so-called asylum for luna
tics. This, at least, is what the juries
called to express themselves on the
subject in New York have said "

REIMBURSEMENT of our trade rela.

world, to follow the enactment OF
the new tariff law. In view of the
introduction of the maximum
minimum policy into our tariff
law, many treaties and arrange
ments covering trade relations
will of necessity be abrogated and
new ones must be negotiated. AT
present the United States has
trade agreements with France,
Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal
and Holland, and it will be neces-
sary, on the enactment of the new
law, to give notice to these gov
ernments that the present agree
ments must be terminated and
new one arranged. The agree
ment with France can be abrogat-
ed by either party at any time
without notice. but those with
Italy, Spain, Portugal and Hol-
land require notice of one year
from either government, and this
notice will be served by this gov
eminent Immediately on the pas
sage of the new tariff law, The
agreement with Germany is the
one arranged by President Roose-
welt on June list, 1907. Under this
agreement it will be necessary for
this government to give Germ any
six months notice before another
can be effected.
