WHAT IS FORGERY.
The testing of the case of Henry
Benson, in the courts of New
York, for extradition to answer to
the charge of forgery for selling
spurious Patti tickets in Mexico,
with the name of -Abbey upon
them, is raising a peculiar question
as to what constitutes forgery.
His lawyer has raised the point
that it was not forgery as the name
was printed and not written.
But as the Chronicle very per
tinently remarks : 'It is possible
that the definition of forgery may
be so narrow a to exclude every
imitation of a signature unless
made in writing; but if so it is a
great piece of folly and should be
broadened. In these days ot
labor-saying- and time-saving de
vices, sucl as lithographs and
rubber stamps and stencils and a
host of others, it would be utter
nonsense for a statute to declare
that the only way to commit for
gery wouiu oe to imitate a signa

Curtis of Harper's Weekly, it is
thought, will be fatal.
Tue right to run steam vessels
upon the Desaquadero river, which
connects lake Titicaca with lake
Aulloga3 in Soutli America, has
been granted to a citizen of the
United States by the government
of Bolivia. The object in navigat
ing the stream is to reopen some
of the ancient Peruvian mines.
The English girl, who refused to
join the torv primrose league,
bacause when the toiies were in

actions. She did not propose to
lessen her chances in that manner.

j. he numerous losses ot Hie
among the teachers and pupils of
the public schools in the western
Mississippi and Missouri states
during the recent cold weather,
suggests the thought that the pre
vailing custom of locating school
houses in out of the way localities,
to get as nearly as practicable in
the center of the district, is a
practice that contributed to a large
extent to the sad results that
brought anguish to so many hearts.
The school house should be placed
ture in writing. Anything which
a person may choose to adopt,
from the rubrica which our Spanish
'"'predecessors in California were ac--eustonied
to use to the impression
'f the thumb or of a signet ring in
tvax, may be a signature, if the
signer adopts it as such ; and it is
apparent that to hold that the
imitation of such a signature, no
matter how felonious the intent or
what the result, is not forgerv,
would be to make the law absurd
and t he legislature which passed it
a laughing stock."
However, the spirit and intent
of the law passes for nothing. It
is the construction that attaches to
the Jargon of syllables and words
that rules the legal application, as
rendered by the learned adminis
trators of law and equity.

LA W PRACTICE.
The peculiarities of law practice
crop out. quite frequently. The
Chronicle mentions one in San
Francisco lately in saying that was
a good point in the use of language
which Attorney Mowry made when
he argued that ''female" does not
always mean "woman." The dis- j
trict attorney had charged an al- j
leged procuress with the offense of j.
"importing a female," whereas.!!
the law savs correctly, "importing'
a woman. iius is snnpn

Lake, and many think with the
Chronicle that the concessions
given by the convention of liberal
Mormons in Salt Lake City look
verv much like signs of the col
lapse of the once powerful and
omnipotent political maenme u. ;
has ruled Utah for a generation.
The saints are not riven to mag
nanimity to their enemies, and the
voluntary gift of a portion ot the
public offices in Salt Lake has a
deeper meaning th-i appears on
the surface. The church has sut
fered severely during the past year
and its control of the party ma
chinery in Utah is sure to slip from
its grasp unless it can make some
kind of a compact with the gen
tiles This is the scheme that has
now been devised., but it is doubt
ful whether it will meet with any
success.
The walking race mania has
again broken out in New York, and
men are putting forth all their
muscular endurance in traveling
over the sawdust rings. It mu

antiquated and senseless practice
attracts crowds enough to pay ex-
