Court-Martial Procedure.
From the Boston Transcript.

Every time a cOurt-martial comes to
occupy the center of the stage the peo-
pie who watch the procedure from the
outside wonder how it happens to differ
SO materially from that of a civil trial,
with which they are more familiar. The
answer is simple. A court-martial is a
family affair. The wise parent, when his
children get into a dispute, even though
he may be a Judge of the supreme judi
cial court. takes somewhat rule-of-
thumb method of his own devising for
getting at the merits of the controversy.
He may, II he likes, proceed on the the
ory Of the French code by making the
child who is charged with an offense tell
what he was doing at the time instead
of giving the youth the privilege of the
common law of swapping his fingers at
the judge and saying: Prove it If you
can; ] will keep quiet" In much the
same way the military and the naval
service have evolved in the course OF
years, on both sides of the water, meth
cd Of disposing Of their own troubles. 1t
suits them, although widely at variance
with that which has been found wise in
regular court proceedings. 1t applies to
things which are quite as often as other
wise not offenses against the law of the
land: it's punshments relate to the serv-
ice itself; the accused is bound by its
conclusions, when properly approved be-
cause he is amenable to the rules of the
service Aside from the usually public
character of a court-martial, 1t is essen
TALLY a family method of settling fam
ily dispute by administering punishment
