Question of Principle.

\ jury sat for ten days taking
evidence, which the attorney gen
cral neither saw nor heard, vet he
feared that these defendants,
while innocent, were in imminent
danger OF conviction.
If Commissioner Caminetti can
cheerfully be spared now, why
could he not be spared three days
ago? IF there is such a feverish
haste to now rush TO immediate
trial to vindicate outraged Justice,
why was 1t necessary to drive a
I. s. attorney from his Office
for oblectlng to corrupt and mex
cusable delay7
This matter has never been one
Of personality, It is simply
question of princinle If any
resignation from Office and the
consequent rousine of public
opinion will accomplish the result
of convictinq these fagrant Of
Tenders against the laws of the
country, then ! will feel that the
effort has not been in vain.
