B. McKay & co -no ~ tr- The attention of the public has been di- rected very considerably to one change, which was mooted in connection with the reorganization of the law relating to crim- inal procedure, and that is "the proposed abolition of the system of indictment by grand jury. The attention of the Parlia- ment and the public has been directed to that question very forcibly indeed by a member of the other branch of Parliament, a member to whom, I am sure, both Houses owe a great deal of gratitude for the pains and theoare and the attention he has de- voted to legislation during the many years of a useful and honorable life. I refer to Senator Gowan. He moved in the matter a year or two ago, and it was thou ht best that the attention of the public a ould be! drawn even more strongly to the question than it was.by the remarks he made on - the subject in the Senate The result was, as the House may remember, that a circular was sent to all the judges in the country who have permanent criminal jurisdiction, and indeed all the officers charged with criminal prosecutions. calling their attention to the change which that learned gentleman thought desirable, and asking their 0 inions as to its propriety and expediency. t was felt that the opinions of those who are con- nected with the administration of criminal I justice and have its care from time to time ! would be great assistance to Parliament in : framing any change that might be thought ` , desirable ; and we have had in response to ' that, a great number of replies, most of . which have been published, and some of T which have come to hand since the publica- tion of the returns by order of Parliament. The opinions` upon that subject by those who . were thus addressed were very divided in- deed Most of the judges who are accus- ` In ordinary proceedings, -were-in favor of ` lace by the learned gentleman to whom I 1 1 1 tamed to administer justice without juries, 1 1 I the change. The others were divided upon the subject; and it is impossible to deny -in view of so strong a division of opinion. on the subject, that it seems unwise, in connec- tion with this measure, to force that pro- vision on the attention of ', Parliament" at present. Imust say that I concur person- ally in the opinion expreld P in another ve made reference, and I -think that in lnan respects the administration ' of u justice won d be improved if we dispensed with the intervention of grand juries. I will say one word sue the disputed iuon of jurisdic- tion in this matter. , e reposition `has been mooted long that this m'atter"_, may, be beyond the control of this Parliament, . and may heunore properg exercised by the leQiI]..fliI'_ hill n ;n\vnn' GA A 0UlER- an he The peculiar conditions of society in y, this day are every where attracting atten- )1] le tion. Anarchism threatens with dyna- mite everybody who has money. Social- ism in its varied forms is more aggres- sive. Strikes and labor troubles are con- stantly coming to the front and combines. trusts and other associations beget far- mers alliances and other associations to antagonize them. The enormous ' aggre- gation of wealth in the hands of _a few and the alleged rapid pauperizing of the many are calling out all sorts of reme- dies for these multiplied evils. and at- tempts to give the working man a fair share in the prots of production. One of the most singular plans We have heard of is the proposal to adopt 60 pounds of our as the unit for measuring the value of a day's labor. The inventorof this is Mr. Howard, of Pennsylvania, and the names of Mr. Gladstone and Cardinal `Gibbons are given as favoring the plan. How this is going to be the heal-all for labor troubles, we fail to see. As a measure of value for labor we see no advantage over a gold dollar or a Dominion note. We remember the time when a bushel of wheat was the recognized standard of value b y for a day's work in the Canadian harvest T -' eld and ag_the bushel of wheat was worth E just fty cents, in trade, at the way side ;, store, it was not calculated to lift the labor- 2 er up very much. In speaking of this ,_ alleged panacea for labor troubles the s Monetary Times says: ` If man requir- : ed nothing but our, there might be I some reason for measuring all his wants 3 .in one article of subsistence. But, taken 3 simply as a measure of the value of labor,` 1 the question is. has our any advantage 3 over gold? That our can be eaten and P gold cannot is not to the purpose. The , standard of flour would suggest a con- nection between _wages and subsistence. I i which in some form must always exist. .. But after all, that ll the best unit of u l value for any purpose which is least uo- s _ tuating in price ; and between gold and I our the comparison would not` be in ' I favor of the latter. If wages were mea- l surerl in flour, the standard would -be ivariahle.`and would in` fact vary` from :.l'nonth to month, from week to week, _ aud fro,m.nay.to day.` Are the wages to aa- .~ just themselves to"the standard 'I_ If Lao, 7 they jwould, constantlychange with the change in`=tl'ie price of a single article of gsubsil'.|l9.,fand while there might "be one reason for-_..the change, there might be ten against it. How would the adop- tion of the proposed standard settle the labor question? For ourselves we can. not see how it could possibly advance it `nearer to a_ settleinent.- i 4.

One is the opinion expressed by ` high authority that, for the present at least, a continuance of the functions of grand jurorslead to a large body of respectable persons in the community being present at the exercise of the functions of the court and lead to their assistance in_ the exercise of those` functions, the result of which is said to be, and I believe it tobe, that these persons have their condence in the system of justice as administered in this country increased, they feel a greater co-operation and sympathy with the administration ; and to some extent additional publicity among the best classes of the community is, in that way, given to the proceedings in- our courts of justice Another consideration which has had great weight with the judges who desire that the change should not be made at present, is the uncertainty as to what procedure would take the place of that be- fore the grand jury. I can suggest no other as likely to takeiis place. except something like this :, It is the requirement that every person, before being tried, should be com- mitted for trial after a preliminary investi-' gation or an examination by some competent authority. There are many offences, as most members are aware for which trial can take place now without any commitment for trial receding the charge to the grand jury and t e application tothe grand jury and indictment by the grand jury.

By the sword is meant that physical force which overcomes the enemy in the eld. The purse is that power which equips, aliments, recruits and pays the eets and armies. Among savaczes there is much of the swords and little of the purse. As a rule the purse power increases among nations as civilized methods are adopted, until ulti- mately most of the purposes of = war may be attained with only a show of physical force.

He asks for a claimant or owner of the money, but nds none; He then pays a debt of ten dollars to his neighbor, standing near. His neighbor pays the money to another. to whom he is indebted. Debt paying is the order of the day until tty debts have been paid, when the money nally stops in the hands of the nder, who owing no one present, puts the note in his pocket. I inquire. are those debts paid? Plainly they are. But suppose the holder_ of the . money should drop it" into the re and it should be consumed. Would that `make may become of the note the debts are paid. But let us suppose that the holder of` the bill, instead of dropping it into the re should carry it to a bank for deposit and there nd it to be counterfeit. Now are the debts paid? Let each reader decide for himself. ` Evidently it was acase of cancellation; and if the parties had known of the fact and relations of each to each, i they might have clasped hands, and the debts would have been settled, cancelled or paid, without the use of money. .1 ,as - -II g "$01137:-`h now `Vol.1 nods Iugv. THE GRAND JURY -QUESTION. Sir John Thompson on moving the sec- ond reading of his bill respecting the Criminal Law, explained at some length the changes he proposed. The Minister of Justice proposes a new denition of murder, and` will abolish the distinction between felonies and misdemeanors. The word theft is to take the place of larceny; and he proposes to `abolish the distinction between principals and accessories. He spoke somewhat at length upon the ques- tion of the abolition of the Grand Jury. It is a signicant fact that so eminent a jurist as Sir John Thompson is in full `ac- cord with the Hon. Senator Gowan on the abolition of the Grand Jury, and although for reasons which will appear in the part of "his speech why he does not deal with the matter now, the time is not for dis- tant when the views set forth in Senator Gcwan s speech in the Senate on this subject will prevail and a substitute for this relic of a past age will be adopted in our criminal procedure. We quote from Hansard of 12th inst., the followinir remarks of the Minister of Justice, which will be read with interest by all who have paid due atten- * tion to the ' discussion of the question .* and have read the opinions given in the 1 report issued last year: ll"IL_ ,4: 7` ' TIIIWI Though money may be without intrinsic value itself and should be so, yet when fairly treated by law, it stands for all values; and the holder of it has is check or '4-rder on the entire country for his choice of that which is for sale,-to the extent of the value mentioned in his check or order, and all men are eager to accept or redeem his check, and give him choice of the values in their possession, lll0_lIlqlI:. .; ~`: .' .

In the Unit- ed States the dollar. is the unit of account, and values are expressed in dollars and fractions of a dollar.

He has only received . a check on the general wealth of the country for what he desires. This check must be redeemed, and society is eager to redeem it with all the values of the country that are for sale. Hence the man to whom I aid the check is better paid than if I ad given him some form of value which he did not specially need. If I had given him a horse or a cow, when he needed a coat and vest, it would have been less satisfactory to him than the money. though of the same or even great- er "value.
