ChivaIry and Justice.

1t pleased Justice Swami TO drop few easy gen
civilizations from the bench yesterday in diScharg-
ing a woman from custody. IF she were man |
would have committed her TO the City Prison 10
await the action of the grand jury" he said. He
seemed to think there was no doubt that she was
guilty of perjury but out Of chivary and courtly
regard for the female sex he contented himself with
telling her what she was to her face and turning
her free.
II seems worth while to assure the young woman
in question and all young women who may be con
templating crime-that the learned judge materially
exaggerated the benefCent mercy which he extended
in her case II is commonplace of our courts that
prosecution for perjury is most difficult TO sus-
tain Juries do not seem to Ike To convict for the
crime And 1t has come to be regarded as almost
waste Of time for the District Attorney 10 touch
such cases unless the testimony is garing and the
defendant what our wise jurymen rate as a bad
lot" We are not sure that Judge Swami himself
is not one Of the judges in General Sessions who
has said that this is
In short not only the fair defendant In this case,
but many rough and extremely masculine male,
has been turned out by our courts though the scent
Of perjury hung heavy about him.
As for Justice SWANS larger implication that all
Justice is tempered with chivary and that YOU can
commit almost any little crime you have taste for
provided YOU wear petticoats, 1t must be accepted
with certain reservations. We have our sentimental
iuries But they seem to be almost as much inclined

ISOLATION, which now seems likely is the best pos
sible course. 4 legislative investigation would be
less desirable because il would be difficult especially
with a municipal campaign in prospect to keep par

necessary that anything which affects the reputation
Of the bench should be approached in as nearly non
partisan a spirit possible.
The Bar Association has the reputation for fair
ness and for scrupuous regard for the character Of
the judiciary which will insure the unquestioning
acceptance Of its report If it clears Justice Co

that he has been grossly magned. If its report is

The Derby Tragedy.

The utter fanaticsm Of the English militant was
well illustrated in the spectacular episode that
married the running Of the Derby. When lone

What effect the incident will have upon the suf-
frage situation in England 1t is difficult to surnlise'

attacking the throne itself In this grotesque yet
tragic interference with the Kings own horse Pop

are widely felt.

predict the influence of such an example upon the

soon forgotten in the present flaming annals of Great

The Lesson of Typhoid at Albany.

The typhoid epidemic at Albany which is now
happily subsiding. conveys an unmstakable and
emphatic lesson in the value of filtration of water
supplies though it does not, at least at present
applv to this city Years ago Albany was severe
chronic sufferer from typhoid. Then filtration was
onplied and the disease was abated. A few months
ago the extraordinary rise of the river Hooded the
filter plant. so that the city mails were filled with
undltered water Promptly the fever reappeared in
a multitude OF cases; only to subside again when
filtration again became effective.
Now that is sufficient proof OF the efficacy OF hl-
tration. IL is also, of course. proof that Abanys
wafer imperatively needs such treatment; in fact.
that it is quite unfit 10 use without It, But that
cannot be said of New Yorks supply Croton water
neltered does not cause typhoid other ailments.
