Justice Lad to Be Done.

Very recently a judge advanced in
years, who had borne a good name
and enjoyed the confidence of his
fellowmen, was sent to the peniten-
tiary for term which practically
amounts to life sentence. The crime
for which he was thus sentenced
was the wrecking Of bank and the
swind'ing of number of people wh'
had entrusted him with their money
.or inveS -. mt
If one were TO allow himself to
think OILY Of the jurist bowed with
years, parted from his venerable
wife, his beautiful home and the
society in which he loved to move,
pity would lead one to say that il
was cruel to take him at his time
of life from these associations to
spend the rest Of his days within
the grey stone walls of prison
But the other side Of the case has
to be considered What Of the crime
itself. of people robbed OF their mon
ey, and families made to suffer as
the result of his misdeeds. Then,
while sympathy and regret for MIN
and his family may naturally be felt'
it is also felt that the high Office
he held and the trust reposed in hlm
by his fellows but made his offence
the greater.
Therefore. there is satisfaction, not
that a man has done wrong, but
that having done wrong his public
position and social influence were
not allowed to interfere with the
course of justice. The conviction OF
such men is entirely too rare. WHAT
we need is an even handed Justice
that will send the man who steals q
railroad to the penitentiary as quick
as it will the man who steals a horse,
a COW or pig. Too many big Grim
inals are shielded.

A Very Bad Trust.

Whether or not some trusts are
good may be an open question, but
there is no doubt in the public mlnd
as tc the badness of some trusts
and the Sugar Trust seems to be OK
ceptionally bad. Found guilty and
fined an immense sum for defraud-
ing the customs, charged with illegal
acts towards another trust and glad
TO settle out of court, paying an
immense sum as a penalty, and ac-
cuSed Of stealing water from mu-
nicipality-these are some or the
crimes charged against it. The gov
ernment cannot too soon investigate
and take proper action against TINS
CORPORATION which has SO unenVlaDle
a notoricty, but there is no chance
of this ever being done, as the Sugar
Trust is one OF the special pets oil
the Republican leaders, who give 1t
the right to hold up the sugar con-
sumers and rob them Of two cents on
every pound of sugar they buy.

It was hoped that as the result OF

appeared. Truly eternal vigilance

They Stand Alone.

Literary tate differs so widely
even among average people, that any
person setting out to list what he
considers the best twenty-five BOOKS
is not likely to have his choice gell-
orally accepted Dr.. Eliot, recently
president Of Harvard university, Is
finding that out. His tive-toot shell
library. the reading Of which he es-
timatcs would give the reader lib
eral education, undoubtedly contains
SOME books that meet with general
acceptance but it also contains works
which probably not one person IN d
thousand knows anything about. We
notice that DR.. Elliot is widely crlti-
cised for not including the Bible and
Shakespeare in his list. He probably
puts them in class by themselves
under the supposition that everyone
is agreed as to their value and SO
reads them. Whether this De the
case or not with Or. Elliott, 1t is
true.

New Matrimonial Law.

Most people Will watch with SYM
pathetic interest the working OF the
act passed by the State OF Washing
ton requiring all people wishing TO
marry to pass medical examination
as TO their physical and mental con-
di,ion. 1t is now universally reccS-
nized that many diseases are trans
missable and others hereditary ana
that the results Of marriages OF peo-
pie physically and mentally unht are
often deplorable. In fact the aDun-
dant data now available proves that
the taint inherited by the offspring
of such unions is not physical ana
mental only. but also moral and IS
responsibie for a large amount OF
crime. To check or. SOP these evils
is a duty that the proper autnorltleS
owe to the public. For the State 10
attempt to regulate marriages Win
this object in view is admittedly a
delicate matter in more than one
sense, but if it can be done wisely
all sensible people will rejoice. One
immediate effect in Washington VIII
probably be the temporary exodus
of those who wish to marry but VINO
are doubtful as to their ability TO
mass the required examination, Dut
some will doubtless be found to meet
the situation.

Paris, Nov. 29.-An individual be-

partment, shot and seriously wounded
General Verand, Sunday on the steps
Of the Hotel Continental The man
was arrested. Later it was learned
that he had mistaken General Verand
for General Brun, minister of war.
The attempted assassination occur
red a few moments after President
FaIlieres had left the Hotel Bristol
near by, where he called on King
Manuel of Portugal.
Several policemen sprang upon Gen
eral Verand's assailant, who proved
to be an Algerian. He was over
F. powered with difficulty and was found
to be a perfect walking battery of re
voIvers and daggers.
General Verand received two bull
lets in the neck and forehead and his
condition is considered dangerous.
King Manuel received an ovation
from thousands Of Frenchmen while
on his way to the Church of st. Mary
Magdalen. In the afternoon the king
attended the races at the Auteuil
with President FaIliers, who later &C.
companied him back to the hotel, and
in the evening he was a guest at a
banquet at the Elysee palace.

NEW EXPRESS RULE
AFFECTS LIQUOR
AFTER JANUARY CONSIGNEES
MUST BE REAL, NOT
FICTITIOUS.

Another obstacle has been placed IN
the way of those who would amelic
rate the perennial drouth of things
which cheer and also inebriate in the
dry districts of the country.
On January l next there will g
into effect some regulations on tn
business OF the express companies
which will render harder than ever
the task of obtaining liquor through
their aid.
Heretofore it has been customary
to some wholesale liquor houses, espe
cially those which make a speciality o.
| trade in the dry regions. to use the
! express companies for warehouses, tC
all intents and purposes. In some
towns it has been customary for the
express agents to receive consign
ments Of jugs or boyes consisting o.
dozens of individual packages.
In some cases they have been sim
ply designated by numbers and II
other cases have been consigned to
John Jones" John Doe or other fic
titious persons, and the agent has
been compelled to hold them untll
called for.
The house which sends the goods
usually has a representative in the
town who is empowered to give writ
ten orders for the merchandise 50
that when a thirsty and bibulously In.
clined resident wants -four full
quarts" he seeks out the agent for the
liquor house, and gets an order for
the amount of goods he wishes. The
express agent collects the charges for
the liquor with the added express
charges and RENTS the proper amount
to the wholesale house, making him
in effect, an agent Of the liquor house.
A federal regulation which goes into
effect January l prohibits express
companies from taking interstate
shipments Of liquors unless they have
been paid for or unless the customer
has an account with the house; In
other words it does away with the
c. o. q. business, and it is also pro
vided that the goods must be con
signed to a bona fide purchaser.
Representatives of the express com
panies say that the companies are
pleased with this new ruling, as it re
lieves them not only of much extra
work but also of an undesirable class
Of business, which they have hereto
fore, as common carriers, been com
PEELED 20 accept.
Another feature of the matter which
will apply with special reference to
North Dakota is ruling Of the pure
food law in force in that state which
provides that all packages containing
liquors shall be So
marked on the outside. and shall also
describe the contents and the amount.
Such packages as are not property
marked are liable to confiscation.
