t rz ' . Jl ifc J- 'X 44 JH chose, in the fii nation. Bt years and reh sufficient vigor x. irty Aon of jportant literary labors for ears there after: but Anthony u oompellefl to retire almost on the threshold of his fifth term, to lengthen out the fitful shadows of a frail life whose work is already ended. There will be profound regret throughout the whole country and among men of every political faith, at the enforced retirement of Henry B. Anthony from the senate. He has not been among the greatest of the statesmen of his time, but he has been of the purest and best, and few have so largely conserved both sides when the surges of party passion dashed against the ship of state. There are a number who will fill more conspicuous places in the thrilling hiBtory of the last quarter of a cen tury, but none have retired, and none will retire, more widely trusted and beloved than Senator Anthony. When on his way to Washington to entor upon his fifth senatorial term, Senator Anthony was stricken with partial paralysis, and since then he has been so feeble that he is seldom able to appear in his seat and entirely unable to perform the important com mittee duties naturally entrusted to one of his ability and experience The presidency of the senate was held some time in abeyance because of the unwillingness of the body to pass by the oldest and most respected senator, and finally he was elected with, the understanding that he would accept the honor only to return it to the senate and transfer it to Senator Ed munds. He bowed to the inevitable, but the forced confession of frailty deepened and darkened the evening clouds, and since then he has been gradually decling in both physical and mental vigor. There are several senator who are the seniors of Sena tor Anthony in years, as he has Just reached the patriarchal age of three soore and ten; but time does not deal in equal gentleness with all, and Hen ry B. Anthony's life work is finished, while others totter along n few swift years beyond him, only to follow in the weary quitting that welcomes the dreamless sleep of the dead. REVERSING THE OLD MAXIM, Judge John A. Jameson in a recent contribution to the North American Revieio, says that of the things nec essary to be done to save our civiliza tion, the first and most important is to cause a complete ohange of atti tude on the part of society toward wrong doing. What is now the atti tude maintained? It is one either of indifference, toleration or connivance, or one suggestive of paralysis of the power of indignation and of every faculty needed for the repression of crime. Toward the criminal the at titude of the public is that of weak pity, not unmingled with admiration. The criminal is an unfortunate man, to save whom from punishment seems to be the chief end of the law. Look for a moment at his trial in a court of justice. The jury, carefully seleoted for their ignorance, are madejudges of both law and faot; to convict they must be unanimeus: if they have a reasonable doubt of guilt they must .acquit; they are them selves to determine what is a reason able doubt; and, to crown all, they are instructed that it is better that ten guilty men should escape than one innocent man should be puished. These rules and maxims, devised cen turies ago by merciful judges, then met the ends of justice, since, as the laws were, as against the crown officers seeking to convict, a person accused had no chance of acquittal, for he was allowed neither counsel or witnesses; but now they operate to soreen tho guilty from punish ment,, save in the few cases where there is a general ory for vengeance againBt some atrocious offender, The maxim about the ten guiltv ' men is pressed upon juries by every felon's lawyer, as the great safeguard of private rights. In truth, however, the interests of justice would be best served bymaking it read: "It iB bet ter that ten innocent men should suffer than that one guilty man "should escape." Were that declared to- be the policy of the law, juries would be made to feel, not that the innocent were leBs deserving than be fore of aoquittal, but that the guilty were a hundred times more deserving of conviction and punishment; and . the results would be most salutary. In not one case in a million could an innocent man suffer, and hardly one in, thousand of the guilty, instead of three out of four, as now, would esope. .Haspxb's Weekly is the best adver " iked "newspaper in the country. x V v and uiinent als were or fisheries ion last year, .wait our salmon dcent city next win- j late state election has .at a Bepublican senator will d Senator Slater, candidates jiat high office are not wanting, Aatsop county's legislative vote will be probably a tie. What the people want is a aaan who is well posted on state affairs, who has sense enough to know what is right and sand enough to advocate and stay by it. There should be no question of political reward or party favor itism about the matter. ThE former registrar of the land office at Humboldt,- Cat, .has written an open letter 10 the secretary of the interior, in winch he makes the dis tinot charge that a large and valuable section of redwood timber has been seoured by a swindling set of specu lators. He furnishes names and con elusive testimony. It will be inter esting to see what the secretary will do about it. Citizens of Seattle recently held a meeting to "favor the enforcement of existing laws and ordinances, and the administration of municipal affairs by sober, honest and efficient men.'" After passing a series of strong reso lutions, the convention nominated a municipal ticket. Who shall receive the July nomi nation at Chioago is still an open question. Mr. Thurman, of Ohio, would be the strongest and in many respects the best candidate that could be put up. Captain Geo. Perkins, who took command of the Hartford at San Francisco recently, is worth 87,000, 000. NEW TODAY.
