Brutal Assault

We understand that as the steamboat Mutual
Safety, from Bridgeport came to the wharf last
night one of the hands employed on board etartcd
ashore with trunk Of one OF the passengers
Some OF the insolent. ruffianly cab-men, with
whom our wharves always abound, thinking that
he was interfering with their business assaulted
him, and the other hands Of The boat coming to
his assistance and the whole gang OF cabmen rush
ing to the spot the fight became general In the
melee one Of the boat hands named George Mac
hcnze was most severely beaten and now hes on
board the boat IN very dangerous condition
Several of the cab-men were arrested. The nui-
sancc out of which this affair has grown Is one OF
long standing. and has for months demanded the
prompt and effective interference Of the city au-
thontles.

Growth of the wess-commerce Of The

Col.J.J. ALERT, OF the [. S. Bureau Of To2o,
graphical Engineers at Washington, has hszn FOR
some time engaged in collecting and Classifying
the Statistics OF the Commerce Of the Great Lakes,
with view to the exhibition Of the growth and
progress of the Great West 4 friend just from
Washington gives Us the following striking facts,
which he obtained from Col. a. and which may
be fully relied on:
The Exports and Imports OF the region border
ing on and trading through the Great Lakes were
to the value Of
Exports 81, 324 323 $50. 342,55l
Imports .... 14,l37,026 23,4o3,4I
Thus it Will be seen that, while the trade OF
other parts of the Union has been greatly d!mln-
ished from It's .palmy state IN 1896, the Trade
OF the Great Lakes has nearly quadruPlcd IN FIVE
years. In 1886. the Imports Of the West wcrc
sir times the valrc of IFS Exports IN ISL, the
latter practically balance the former. Such is
the unprecedented growth and extension of tht
Mighty West.
The returns for 1912 are not yet perfect.

I.inentiousncss and Crime.

If we have not oined IN the general con ocsii'i-
alton Of the verdict of acquittal in the case OF
Young Mercer on his trial for the murder OF he
berton, it has not been because we did not PEI
ceive at once the radical unsoundness oil that
verdict and the alarming nature Of the conse-
ouences which it involves. In ettcct-ior we
cannot believe man on the Jury supposed there
was any other {nsanity IN the case OF Mercef
than in any other where nlaH is driven 70 inc
nerpetraton of rash, violent and criminal act by
the magnitude of his supposed wrongs or 'he
phrenzy of his revengeful passons-'hs verdict
is proclamation TO all who are stung by sense
of insult or injury to redress their own grievances
by hlcodshcd and homicide, and look confidently
for impunity from the laws. 1t is license Tor
the private indulgence of those promptings 10
punitive or rctributive justice, as IT is ca!ieo'
which the Law-appcaling to the lower Instincts
instead of the higher sentiments OF our nature
has 30 long cherished, but in the qualification OF
which it has hitherto ella aimed a monopoly, or al
lowed to individuals such qualification only
through ts own tardy movements. Now, now
ever this restriction is removed, and every not,
impatient spirit is virtually invited TO redress us
own wrongs, real or fancied and to unite In his
own person the summary exercised lunctons U
inquest accusation, trial. judgement, ana execu-
ton.
And vet. while we hold in adherence the Gle
mental ideas of Justice on which this portcn'ous
fabric is reared, and insist that neither Society nor
the individua has any moral right to lntiict punish
men.-above all, that Of dcath-save as u Inea-
sure of eelf-defencc against IMMINENT deadly
peril. VIC cannot unto heartily in the general cen
sure of the Woodbury. Jury. They were men
husbands, fathers, brothers--what husband, Ia
thcr. or brother shall Judge them harshly They
saw the wrong done by Mercer; but they saw also
the dcadler wrong done by Hcberton-wrong
which unfaithful Legislation, the offspring OF
a corrupt Public Opinion, enabled nm to commit
aviM entire legal impunity. Here was the root o.
the evil. Half the homicidcs committed III the
Country spring directly from the blight OF Lber-
tinism. which is corupting and desolatlng the
Country. Had there existed proper and just lawn
for the punishment of the libertine, llcbcron hac
still been alive, and the soul of Mercer unstslncd
by the guilt OF his destruction SO IN hundred
cases of homicide, occurring, day after day we
are accustomed truly to regard the prevalence O.
Murder as fearful thing What cxccration, then
should we not visit on the heads OF those Lcgsla
tors who wilfully persist in shielding the destroyer
of female virtue from legal punishment, and thus
open wide the floodgates not merely OF Licentlous
ness but OF Murder Let a long sluggish but q
last awakening public conscieilcs make answer
