An inventor of tilt? republican non-
sense has had published and spoken
from the stump the statement thai
Mr. Taylor lias had dismissed HO
criminal prosecutions during his
term Th3 statement comes from
an incorrigible liar or a feeble mind-
ed ignoramus. The prosecuting at-
torney can not dismiss a criminal
case. Section 5858 of the criminal
code provides "The entry of r. N
Prosequi is abolished and the dis- ^ ^ ^
triot attorney cannot discontinue or cie th<
abandon a prosecution for a public j from t\\
offense except as providad in the j
last section." The section referred j
to reads as follows; <('l lie couri I
may of either of its own motion, or1
upon the application of the district
attorney in the furtherance of justice
order an action or an indictment
dismissed but in that ease the reus
on of the dismissal shall be si t forth
in the order, which must be entcrc
I upon the minutes." If 86 cases have j
been dismissed the district judge is I
alone responsible. Hut some little j
politician, stuffed with the wisdom
of his own wind, will say "the pros-
ecutor should not find such indict
ments." All there! my small Iricnd,

does not provide that tho prosecu-
tor shall have charge o( the presen-

The jieople of the Ot.h district pri
pose to be represented by a man
whose "interest" in the district is
not 40 per ccnt.
The account and report of .Iu d$:e
Steward appears in this issue. They
make a straightforward showing
which is highly creditable to the
Judge and leave nothing unanswered
which the public should know.
The republican orators and papers
have had much to say over the jail
and jail accounts and the sheriff,
lonneotior. therewith. Both the re
publican legal spouters and the rt
publican editorial liars have ignored
the fact that the sheriff lias no con-
trol of the jail whatever in so far as
its conducting is eonoerned, its
I tenses ordered or its management
had.
The district judges of this territo-
ry, statutes p. 1031, s. 1, makes all
the rulos for the conducting of the
jail and its interior management. I
By section 11 of the same aot the j
boarding, clotning and care of the
prisoners is controlled entirely by
such rules as the judge shall make,
■iild the commissioners shall pay for
the expensep. If the sheriff or jailor
shall fail or - fuso to conform to all
or either of the rules, he can he
punished by heavy fines. 1 he sherifl
may act as jailor, but whether he
does so or not, its accounts merely
pass through his hands to the com
missioners. Not as a necessity but
as a consequence.
The chapter on county jails places
them entirely in tlie hands of the dis-
trict judge and purely under liis oon-
trol. The sheriff has no option hut
to obey. The accounts are compul-
sory. The rules are mandatory and
the sheriff a mere employee, under
the law.

Like many of its pictur-..s this indicates
the evils rather than the benefitsof "pro-
tection." Canada, like tho low wage
countries of Europe, has "protection."
tt.>; / iej may not average as high ns
ouv . but ti e-iUbc it has a small popula-
tion and a limited variety of products,
the pinch of "protection" is much more
sever-1 than in our vast country—the
greatest free trade country on the globe,
because the productions of tho tropical
Boutli can be exchanged freely for those
of the north and there is no custom
house from Maine to California.
If Texas had remained outside of the
United States it would now bo un-Amer
iean to propose free trade with her pau-
per labor products. If Canada should
be annexed the McKinley wall would
come down, trade would certainly be
advantageous to all and wages would
climb a fi w points higher. But it is
wicked to think or talk of such things.
