DOWNFALL OF THE
JAPANESE MINISTRY.

The people of Japan have laDored for
over half century to place their
country among the great powers Of
the world. Like those they are aping.
the nation is now paying the penalty
of greatness, and The isiana kingdom
finds itself embarrassed by conditions
incident to a representative govern
ment. The people are experiencing
the turmoils in connectin with the dec
laration of lack of confidence in the
government.
Knocking down members of the Diet,
knocking !hcir mats off, and tearing
their clothes, an angry mob of citizens
enacted a wild scene in front OF Par
Lament House in Toxic as a demon
strstion of ho: ility toward Premier
Katsura. The trouble was caused by
the Diet, majority Of 234 voting d
lack of confidence in the governments
and taking recess of five days. AS
the Nationalist members emerged
from the House they were set upor
and roughly handled, proceeding
rare in Japanese politics. it is ex'
pected that the government will dis
solve the Diet, but Premier kaisura
will not resign, having announced his
Intention of going to the peopit fol

HEAVIER FINES
ARE NEEDED.

An article in another column of the
Gazette tells of the court in Norfolk
awarding woman who had been bru-
tally mistreated by man $4,000 dam
ages. Her assailant had been pre-
viously fined $3.50 in the police court
for his crime. The court in dispos-
ing of the case intimated that the
time had come when some penalty
more severe than a nominal fine
should be imposed upon men who play
the parts of brutes against certain
class of women.
In connection with the above 1t
may be suggested that the offensc
for which the man in Norfolk has been
severely punished is common in Alex
andria. In the Police Court assault
upon woman" is common entry. The
Internationally from other
cities-leave nominal amount as
collateral for their appearance, and
when the cases are called they cannot
be found, and the objects Of their
cruelty move slowly out of court
nursing injured eyes and sometimes
more serious wounds. The maximum
fine for assault in Alexandria is $50,
and in order to put stop to such in
human practices the full amount
might be required Of all offenders be-
fore they are allowed to depart. If
this procedure failed to bring about
better conditions, such ruffians could
be tried under state warrants, IN
which case a six months term in jail
subject to read service could be add
ed to the fines.

CURIOUS ASPECT OF
BEACH CASE.

The Beach case at Aiken, S. c.,
suggests some curious questions to
those not conversant with the local
situation and the local gossip to which
it is presented only through the testl-
mony given at the trial. Here is a
society man of wealth from the North
on trial for an alleged assault on his
wife, which his wife declares was not
committed by him, and for which, if
he did commit ite,she has so fully for
given him that she testifies in his de-
tense. Why, then, is he prosecuted?
What has the Aiken public, as rep
resented by the courts. to do with a
quarrel between husband and wife in
which neither wishes legal interfer-
ence? 1t is true the assault was a
serious one, and that in theory
the law cannot afford to wink at
crime, but, as on the surface at least,
it involves the name Of nobody else,
and as the wife has maintained from
the first that her husband was nov
her assailant, and there was no posi-
tive evidence to contradict this asser-
ton, the easy and natural course or
dinarily would have been to let such
a case drop.
But the prosecution has evidently
been impelled by some strong motive
to bring the accused to trial. 1t is not
to be assumed that the good people of
Aiken love to roll a sweet morsel Of
domestic scandal like this under
tongues, and that they have forced
the prosecuting officers to push it into
court simply to enjoy the rehearsal
of it in public. Possibly the Cd fash
toned natives of Aiken and its vicin-
ty have been scandalzed by man.

There are, however, well-meaning
people .(among whom is a correspon-
dent whose observations will be found
elsewhere in the Gazette) who take is
sue with those who would restrict the
amusement to the paved roadways.
Much can be said in favor of allowing
the younger generation the use of the
sidewalks, while equally as much can
lie said against tile practice, But sooner
or later somebody will be hurt is evil
dent. TIE skaters themselves often
collide with each other on! sidewalks:

would be in the streets
The law against riding bicycles on
sidewalks is now more honored in its
breach than observance, and it is a
common spectacle to see wheelmen

The majority are of the opinion that
in this city, where vitrifed brick road
ways can be found in the city, shat the
sidewalks should be kept clear of roll
