rupted by the Changing of the bells
especially on Sundays. Were he alive
today he would undoubtedly suggest
that not only the superfluous bells be
metamorphosed into shrapnel OF
anything else, but that all such nipple
ments Of his annoyance be cast into
the general pile.
The Alexandrian, however, failed
to bring about the change he sighed
for, although he called attention to
the fact that up to 1871 the ringing
of bell in the City Hall steeple was
regarded as necessary to bring the
city fathers together; also that
steamboats, running between this
city and Washington rang bells

their docks at either end.

notes will soon cease, and instead of
music their component parts will
be shrieking through the vault
of heaven bringing death and des-
truction to human beings.
There has ever been sentiment in
bells. We have often heard Of the
bells of Moscow. There is we'll
known gospel hymn entitled "Ring
the Bells of Heaven" and one of the
figures of speech used in the old He
brew writings concerning the bles-

day there shall be holiness upon the
bells of the horses" that is all COM
rnercial intercourse between man
will be carried on with honesty and
no attempts made to defraud each

The moral of the old fable of the
Traveller and the Satyr is often seen.
The Wayfarer first blew on his hands
to warm them and later blew his
breath upon his food to cool it. So
with the bells: they have been made t.
ring out peace on earth, good will
to men," but now they are about to
be turned over to Mars for his SAN
culinary use.

TRIALS BY


A scathing rebuke to the New YORK
press and it's attitude in the present
Harry X. Thaw sanity trial was &c
livered by Justice Hendrick, the pre-
siding Judge, at the opening OF the
trial yesterday.
"The trial of this case by the
newspapers, both as to how it should
be conducted and what evidence
should and should not be introduced,
must STOP" said Justice Hendrick'
81 want to warn the newspaper
men covering this trial and their eol-
tors that this trial by the newspapers
must stop Oh will summon them be-
fore me for contempt of court"
The action of Judge Hendrick In
this day of freedom of speech in a
country which is rapidly removing
the top from everything. may be re-
garded as arbitrary, but it is manifest
to all who are in many way connect
ed with courts that the time has come
TO put on the brake. 1t is not only
newspapers which should be made to
halt in summing up cases according
to their predictions, hut individuals
alike. Courts will soon lag supertlus
on the stage if corner gatherings,
groups on barrels and boxes in stores
and street corners are to sit in Judg-
ment upon cases which so often re-
quire legal skill to solve.
The trouble which has brought
forth warning from Judge kendrlck
is chronic in nearly every commun-
ity. Horseback opinions are legion,
and they are generally delivered by
people who know but little whereof
they speak. They are often unac-
quainted with the facts in cases and,
of course, go off half-cocked.
The police courts of cites are geh-
orally the targets of "sea lawyers,
as Admiral Semmes in his book.
"Four Years Afloat," calls them.
This old sea dog said he always gave
such characters ample opportunity to
desert in order to get rid of them
Every newspaper Hedging is not
gifted by nature with legal mind,
nor is the rank and file in other walks
of life, and men who have spent
wears in the close study of law have
but little patience with the many who
offer gratuitious advice in cases
which are often above the acumen OF
a Philadelphia lawyer.
This vexatious Thaw case will
probably be on the calendar of some
court as long as the scion OF the
millionaire and his wife lives. 1t has
and is still being tackled. by the
greatest legal minds of the day. AS
time goes on the great mass of the
people OF the world VII! ma thei''-
.eives thinking of something else, and
about all that will remain upon their
minds will be the fact that once
upon a time Thaw shot and killed
Stanford White.
Lord PalmerSton was once asked
to explain the Schleswig-Holsteln Is
sue. The great English politician re-
piled, "Therc never was but one
man upon the earth that understood
the matter-that was Lord Derby,
and he is dead The legal labyrinth
into which the Thaw case is being
placed may be as perplexing in .
few years as that referred to in the
above anecodote.

BRYAN AND THE
AMERICAN NOTE.

While we are not disposed to agree
with all the bitter criticism of vii.
liam Jennings Bryan since he vacat-
ed the State Department, we rea:-
firm what many said at the time that
he left President Wilson at an inop-
port;lne time, ana that his course
| i'aturs lily caused comment. The re.
public IN papers ere still vitriolic ard
arc saying many thing which tend
to place the former secretary in an
uneviaole position. The Baltimore
American, a republican paper :,!lici,
from the first supported Posi- e1t
! Wilson in his cor, Sc towards Ger
MANY, says:
William Jennings Bryan seems
not trly to have niisled the Presi-
dent, Dut to have deludeI Berlin.
In h;s recent ;i"a.lc in New Yorl:
aga: nsc the newspapers Mr.. Bryan
sought credit for himself in his
! Ghi:ity to keep state secrets, despite
he efforts made !;y the representa-
tives of the newspapers to drag tiem
from him. He did keep one-that

try :. absolutely astounded to FIND
that 'shen the fis; cote tn Germany
was framed, the Secretary OF :jtatr
instead Of suppo. ing the President
and the nation, sol hit to minimize
the note. This is the only Inference
to be drawn from his adluittcd in
terviews with the Austrian AmbaS-
sador the substance of which was
transmitted to Berlin and caused
Mr.. Bryan to seek cover under a
signed statement by the Ambassador
as to what he really meant TO say
in this extraordinary conversation.
"Here, then is the secret TO the
weak and inconsequential response
of Berlin to the most serious note
that this country has addressed tr d
foreign government since the period
of the civil War. Here, then, is the
reason for the dispatch of another
note. Light is thrown upon the re-
tirement Of Bryan from the Cabinet
"The facts are admitted He had
conversation with the Austrian Am
bassador with regard to the nature
of the note. This seems to have
been taken by his nearer as minim-
izing the note. He says that lie was
misconstrued or misrendered. The
Austrian Ambassador signed state
ment by the Secretary of State as
to the actual purport of the CONVEX
saticn. What remarkable sequence
of underground movements at a
time when the fate of the nation
