It is expected there w be a dissolution of Parlia- ment within a short time, and a general election in the fall. That gives a stimulus to the alarmists, and ac- cordingly the British press is teeming with warnings of all sorts of disaster likely to befall the country un- less the Government provide a more adequate means | of offense and defense. Most of the alarmists are { hardly of much more importance than the calamity howler in the United States, but now and then one of them supports his assertions of danger by arguments | so well founded and by reasons of such serious im- port they are deserving of careful study. Such men prove there are genuine weaknesses in Britain's mili- | tary and naval armament, and that a war with a strong | and resolute foe might actually end in a descent upon England and the capture of London. One of these arguments is presented in the current number of the Nationa! Review, in an article entitled, “‘Ha\-ing Eyes, They See Not.” The writer begins | by declaring the British Ministry and the British people are practicing self-deception with regard to their ‘interna(ional relations and their power in war, and he then goes on to sa “What makes the reflect- ing man who has no desire to attack every one and everything most uneasy is that this frame of mind in rs of an invasion have by politicians desirous of | | the nation, its press and its Government is distinctly | symptomatic of moral decay. Seli-deception is the | first sign by which the malady is diagnosed. Colonel Stoffel, in his famous volume of reports from Berlin in which before the great catastrophe of 1870 he sets | forth the strength of Prussia and the weakness of ! France, places his finger upon precisely the same | habit of seli-deception as the most fatal featu-e in France.” | By way of specific instances of weakness the writer | says: “Never before in our military history have | such incidents happened as that at Sanna’s Post,"'when | 1200 enemies routed or captured 2000 British troops; | or Spion Kop, where 800 Boers drove ignominiously back 20,000 British fighting men under the best of | our War Office generals.”” He attributes the disas- | ters to the lack of military training on the part of | British officers, and intimates that in the presence of a foe of anything like equal strength the army would . go to pieces from the lack of intelligent leadership. The navy is declared to be about as badly managed as the army. Thus it is said: ‘“‘At this actual moment the French have at Cherbourg and Brest no less than | eighteen battleships and fourteen cruisers, all mod- ern or modernized throughout. Britain has at this moment twenty-five battleships and cruisers in commission in home waters, but when look into the cataloguz of our battleships the greatest | misgivings are felt. Not only are fifteen of the twenty-five of antiquated design, too often with old boilers and a great amount of inflammable wood in their hulls, but actually four of our vessels carry the muzzle-loader as 2 part—if not the main part-—of their e armor. These statgments are certainly weighty enough to give risé to serious apprehension on the part 6f re- flecting Britons, for the danger of a great war is cer- tainly too imminent to be disputed. Well may the ational Review in forecasting the future exclaim, “Oh, for one hour of the mighty Cromwell!” e e s The Russian bear, it appears, is trying to play a quiet engagement with the Chinese dragon. The in ternational menagerie, which is being exhibited n CH ought to view the incident with that satisfac- tion which one always has when he doesn't care who is whipped. THE GRAND JURY SYSTEM. J discharging a grand jury made an address which has revived in that State the frequently mooted question®of reforming the methods of grand jury procedure or abolishing the institution alto- gether. In reviewing the address the Philadelphia Public Ledger UDGE BREGY of Pennsylvania in recently Judge Bregy, as he says, has formed his opinions of the grand jury from a long and intimate connection with eriminal courts, and his experience has led to the beliaf, in which the majority of his fellow citizens will no doubt concur, that the system is unwieldy and defective. He is emphatlc in his disapproval of the secrecy which prevails in the grand ju: nesses may give free rein to their mendacity or malice without *direct responsibility for their words,” where corruption may gain a foothold, and where the only thing accomplished by the grand jury's intervention is hat “an additional chance is offered the crimi cape.” Judge Bregy would certainly abolish 5 and would gravely consider the question of wiping the grand jury out of existence as unnecessary, expensive and an obstacle to justice. In the public discussion whi: difference of opinion concerning the issue has been developed. George S. Graham Philadelphia, a former District Attorney, is quoted as declaring in fa grand juries, but adding: I would not be in favor, however, of the abolishment of the grand jury. While I would take away from it all its power over criminal ¢ sary to present any indictment to it. T would not ab it. exists and ought to exist. public institutions and examine into the mann they are conducted and report upon them to the court. This includes the prisons where the criminals are con- fined. I know of no better method than this for keeping a check upon maladministration of trust in institutions such as I have spoken of. Another authority, experience on the bench, is opposed to any change at all in the system. He says: The secrecy of the grand jury I regard as one of its important powers; it is to protect the innocent from the h has fc lowed a wide of vor of eliminating secrecy from the proceedings of | twenty-three | room, where untruthful wit- | | | w | bound. Some | tunate enough abuse, grown so prevalent, of the public exposure of | every charge against a man, and is to protect him from | the unfounded suspicion with which a public and open | investigation of an unfounded charge would slur a man's | exhibition character. Let well enough alone, and unless an abso- lute necessity exists for a change, mere speculation upon such a subject is dangerous. ‘One of the strongest advocates for the abolition of the system is D. Clarence Gibboney, secretary of | the Law and Order Society of Pennsylvania, who says: | The great injustice done by grand juries in many cases | | can scarcely be concefved. It is possible for cases of the greatest pusiic or private importance to be completely | smothered ir the grand jury room {In the prosecutions are left helpless. are ignored on the strongest and be: indictments found in other 1 same Kind of testimony. | kinds have beea known to figure very largely in the ac- | tion of grand juries.
