CASTRO. GOMEZ AND THE LAW

Some not unnatural controversy has arisen
over the legal status of Mr. Castro. the former
President. and of Mr.. Gomez, the present act
inS President. of Venezuela, and the propriety
of restraining the former from reSuming the
authority at Caracas. which some months ago he
voluntarily, at least for a time reIinquished 1t
may. as we have already suggested, be argued
that this is a case in which legal technicaities
might well be ignored in favor of general prin-
cipies Of equity. 1t viii he recalled that in 1896
President Cleveland represented, with geae~al
approval. that there was arising in Cuba a { ~
dtion of affairs in which our obligations to the
sovereignty of Spain viii be superseded by
higher obligations which we can hardly hesi-
tate to recognize and discharge" 1t would be
pertinent TO apply those same statesmanlike
words, Rutatis HmaHdis, to Venezuela at this
time.
Nevertheless. it may be possible to satisfy
even the most austere sticklers for technical
conventionalties Of the entire correctness of the
attitude which is now assumed by Mr.. Gomez
and the government at Caracas and OF the ex-
cIusion of Mr.. Castro. 1t is set forth in behalf
Of the Venezuelan government that Mr. Castro
has. in exact accordance with constitutional pro
visions been indicted. impeached and suspende l
from exercising the functions Of his former office

4 much needed reform in our jury system

one of the gravest defects in the present method
has been the necessity, in case one juror became
incapa actated for duty during the progress of the
case, Of starting all over again which involves
not only great waste Of time, but a heavy eX-
pense as well. The public seldom feels that its
money has been i'll spent if the case is carried

The task Of securing jury TO try an impor-

twelve men. If It were necessary To secure
new jury, the time required would presumably
exceed that already spent in completing this one.
Those who watched the progress of the Thaw
trial will recall that it delayed by the death
of the wife Of one of the jurors. and fears were
expressed that all the preliminary work might
