EDITORIAL POINTS.
Mrs Oscar Wilde declares not only that she has no intention of applying for a divorce, but that she believes firmly in her husband's innocence. She has gone to Torquay, with her youngest son, Cyril, to await the result of Oscar’s trial – and some people think that she will have a good long while to wait.
Oscar Wilde has been as good as told to leave England, and he will be troubled no further. This is an easy way to get rid of an undesirable citizen, but it is a little hard on the other countries of the world.
It is said that many excellent men in England are willing to let the Oscar Wilde case lapse, because they fear that the printing of the details of the trial will be detrimental to the public morals. If this policy in all cases prevailed this would be a very easy world for criminals.
